Unusual is a good word to describe the landscape that the team from Core Landscape remodeled for us. It was complicated. The work they did (laying new brick and travertine pavers, installing lighting, powerwashing, intstalling a French drain, installing a new sprinkler system, and removal of trees and vines that were well-entrenched in the ground) was exceptional...and considering the pandemic conditions under which we were forced to endure, the results met and exceeded expectations. This is a well-organized company with a superb team of workers. They were respectful, showed up on time, cleaned

We had our front yard redone with turf and pavers. This company was amazing and every employee/worker we came in contact with was great! Aaron, Robert, Cody, Johnny and Adrian were the ones we dealt with. Highly recommend this company! Thanks for a job well done!!

Responsive and very thorough. Had a bit of a mysterious issue with an admittedly cobbled together, very old sprinkler system. Landscaper's trial and error approach wasn't yielding results so decided I'd be more comfortable kicking the problem up to a professional. And that's exactly what Aaron Merkow was. Definitely recommend.

I've had irrigation repair, irrigation system replacement with a Hunter Hyrdawise wifi system, regular monthly maintenance, and soon to be completed will be a patio stone walkway, utility pad, and Hot tub pad. I appreciate the ability to discuss and resolve issues that come up. It's a very professional company that has a very honest and customer focused way of doing business.

I purchased a home in 2020 that had an irrigation system that had been installed by Core Landscape. After taking possession of the home, I noticed a wet patch of dirt. Aaron was able to come over that day to repair the leak and walked me through the system. Core Landscaping is always quick to respond to any questions I have about drip times and when or what type of seed will grow best. Even after emergent digging was done in my yard, Aaron went to make sure the system had not been damaged. Being a homeowner has a bit of a learning curve, but Aaron and Core Landscaping have been a tremendous help
