    After Michael's team leveled land, laid weed barriers and wood chips. Beautiful work!

    I wholeheartedly recommend Michael and his team! On my two- acre property, they created pathways, laid a 40' x 8' foundation for a building, leveled land, made new garden beds, removed weeds and laid weed barriers and wood chips. They planted five trees, too. His attention to detail and, importantly, care for his team were exceptional! Michael is honest, personal, professional, and dedicated to excellence. I look forward to using his services again in the very near future. Don't hesitate to hire him. He won't disappoint.

    Owner, Michael Gaskey and his father Mike are solutions driven landscapers. Tell them what you want and they'll work with you to make it happen. It is refreshing to find professionals who are interested in designing and implementing a landscape that will work over the long haul-NOT just for two or three years. MJ Smartscape helped us with drainage, prepping and installing sod, installing and correcting irrigation, selecting and placing moss rock, selecting and installing plants, and pruning. BTW, if you wish, they will personally select moss rock, deliver, and place them. I've discovered that during low water condition, rocks add shape, color, and a nice focal point in your landscape. It saves on cost, water AND yard maintenance. They've truly made our dry riverbed special by adding ledge stones and adding dark and light rock to give it the illusion of depth and dimension. It is especially gorgeous when it rains. Because of their extensive experience they can easily offer a design to meet your vision. They are keenly aware of your garden environment: sun, slope, plantings, soil condition, irrigation and more. Keen observation helps the budget and keeps you from making the wrong decisions over the long term. For example, no matter how hard I wish Forsythia will not grow in the shade, a redwood tree needs room to expand, tree roots can be a challenge to nearby grass and plants, water will not drain uphill. Common sense you say, but look around and you'll see yards languishing long after landscapers have left. MJ Smartscape will offer you options that will work with your vision and leave you happier over the long term. If you have a landscape challenge, they'll most likely have a solution that will meet your needs whether it is design, planting, or hardscape. It will help if you state your goal clearly, have a reasonable budget in mind, and keep an open mind if alternatives are offered because of landscape conditions.

They were recommended to us by a friend and I'm so glad that we went with them. We had our initial quote done a year ago by Matt who was so respectful, honest, and responsive. However, life happened and we decided to postpone our landscaping project. But when the time came to revisit our landscape project, I knew I wanted to reach out to them again. They were in my top two choices because of the impression that Matt made a year ago, their reasonable price, and the company also seemed to have an organized system. This time we met with Firas and Yasmine. Firas also exhibited the same level of professionalism as Matt and was so easy to talk to. He communicated well with us and checked up on our project regularly. Our yard might be considered a smaller project for the company but it didn't seem like it with the amount of attention that they provided. We also really appreciate how hands-on Yasmine was with helping us design our project. She was also very flexible with the changes that we needed to make. Problems were solved and issues were fixed without any defensive excuses. We are also thankful for her knowledge and recommendations with regards to our plant choices. Lasly, we had a stellar crew that worked on our yard. It was only 2-3 people at a time who worked on our project which made it more personal. Our main landscape foreman was Jorge and he was detail-oriented and went above expectations. He and the crew made sure that they cleaned up the workplace everytime, they were mindful of the noise pollution, helped us navigate the drip irrigation system, and educated us on maintaining our new yard. Also, as a bonus, I noticed that they segregated their trash properly between regular trash, recycling materials, and green waste. A little thing but speaks volume of their work ethic. Just honestly impressed by the crew's level of professionalism and respectfulness. They're efficient, responsive, and mindful. We have met with different contractors and worked with a great number of people, and I would place the landscaping crew that worked with us in the top 1%. As a whole, they make a great team and I highly recommend working with this company.

Carlos even met with us after hours and on a weekend to work around our schedules. They worked with me on pricing for extra items that came up during the process so we didn't feel over charged. I highly recommend using them as we had a very positive experience.

He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and easy to talk to. What really stood out was how generous he was with his time--he never made us feel rushed and answered every question thoroughly.

We hired them to replace an old, failing wooden retaining wall with a new cinderblock one and we couldn't be happier with the results. I spoke to Mike first and he was very helpful and informative and patiently answered all my questions. He and his team kept this responsiveness and quality experience throughout the whole project. This company is also very honest. They accidentally underquoted me for the project, but they honored their original price without hesitation. They also demonstrated flexibility by working with me on scheduling and adapting to our needs. I had a question about our sprinkler system after they finished and they got back to me with an answer right away. Not only do I think the new retaining wall looks fantastic, but even my gardener, who sees a lot of this type of work, was impressed. He commented that he could tell Stuteville Landscaping took their time, didn't skip any steps, and performed high-quality work. If you're looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled landscaping company, look no further than Stuteville Landscaping. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we highly recommend them!
