We used Tebock's Landscape to put in a 12x23 paver patio in our backyard. Nick gave us a time frame for work to begin and he actually got to us a day or two early. They were in and out in 3 days and worked all day long. The patio looks great and we are very pleased. Several of our neighbors liked his work and requested contact information. What impressed us the most was an incident where one of his employees got injured and during the course of the incident, damage was caused to one of our windows. Nick sent his employee for medical card and informed us of the incident promptly. He showed us the

We enjoyed Nicks services very well.
Nick was dependable on his lawn mowing and did a good job in cleaning up after mowing. I am a little disappointed of the front yard with so much clumping and were looking forward to seeing if
that can be corrected with his continued maintenance. We have and will recommend Nick services to anyone.

Nick and his crew turned my yard from a weed infested wasteland to an acceptable yard that's prepared for the next season and will only get better from there. His crew was not only punctual, but they also care about the end results. He has my lawncare and landscaping needs for the foreseeable years. Thanks Nick!
