Highly recommended! I contacted Barker Brothers for a quote to do a landscaping project, involving planting some trees and creating new mulch beds around my backyard pool area. The price was very reasonable, and the work was done in a high quality manner with great attention to detail. John and his team came out exactly when they said they would, and were extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. Also did a thorough cleanup when they were done. I will definitely work with Barker Brothers again for my future landscaping needs.

After the job that Barker Brothers completed sodding and re-grading the front yard of our home in the Monroe Historic District, strangers actually stop their cars on the street to tell us how great the yard looks! They also created an amazing patio area in the back which we are enjoying almost every night. Very reasonably priced, professional, and they do fantastic work. I couldn't recommend Barker Brothers enough!

Fantastic work! I had quite a bit of work to be done around my house - hedge trimming, weeding/mulching, cutting down smaller trees, planting new trees/plants and more. John came out to my house and we went over the plan and he provided recommendations - the proposal was ready shortly after and the price was very reasonable for the scope of work to be done. They started working within about a week and spent several days getting everything done. The attention to detail and thoroughness was top notch. Partway through the work, I requested a couple alterations to what had been done already and they
