Michael was able to get our project done very quickly. He responded quickly and squuzed us into his busy schedule right away. He and his crew did a fantastic job excavating and grading for a pool installation. Highly recommend and will be hiring him in the fall for grass seeding.

I appreciate Michael’s standards. He came out on time as promised. He gave us a quote. It was far below other bids. He did an excellent job with follow-through. This caliber isn’t something to be assumed in our country and definitely not in other countries. I really appreciate his ethics and professionalism.

We had an incredible experience with our landscape architect and his team. They completely refreshed our entire landscape, and I truly could not be happier with how everything turned out. He even went above and beyond by coming with me to Suburban Lawn & Garden to help pick out the perfect plants, which made the whole process feel so personalized and thoughtful. Plus, he was a super fun hang and a really funny guy! They removed a large number of tall grasses and replaced them with beautiful evergreens, added fresh mulch, selected gorgeous perennials, and made everything look so clean, polished, and tidy. What impressed me most was how hardworking, efficient, and respectful his crew was. They worked incredibly quickly without sacrificing quality and were so mindful of our space throughout the entire project. They also handled so many extra details that really elevated everything, including laying grass seed and peat moss, repairing landscape lights and broken wiring, and fixing our drip irrigation tubing. It truly felt like they went above and beyond in every way. The end result is beautiful, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. I’m so pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a thoughtful, high-quality landscape refresh

Mike Ashley (MALA team) just finished some work and did a great job on a rock barrier project for my foundation and under a short patio. Responsive, helpful, and will work to find the right solution for your project. Very fair with price. Worked fast and had the project completed within a day of hire. The project is a few days old, but I can't imagine not recommending him in the future for landscaping needs.
