Leisure Landscapes has been maintaining my front and back yard for years now. They do an awesome job and I've got no complaints. They put a sprinkler system in a couple of years ago that saved me hours every week of having to self water my new lawn. Great team of lawn maintenance pros.

Amazing work and customer service by these guys! They came out in December and did a landscape plan for us and we loved it. They planted everything in December before anyone knew we were on track to have such a crazy winter. Everything made it through thanks to their expert recommendations and care.

We are very happy with the end product. Price was much better than other quotes. We had some start-up delays, otherwise I would give them 5 stars.

This is our 3rd or 4th time using Leisure Landscapes. Paul Martin is a truly talented landscape designer and their team does incredible work. The first time we used them we had retaining walls, patio, modifications to a deck, flower beds and plantings, etc. done. We then later used them for all our lawn maintenance while we were out of town for 6 months. Now, we are using them to do the landscaping for our new house as well. Great work!
