"We hired Greentrail for a very large backyard project with surprises along the way. Jose and his crew did an excellent job on our new tiered retaining wall, geograding after tree removal, drainage system and hardscaping. Also redid footings in concrete from a prior bad job. We will definitely consider Greentrail for future projects!"
"We have used Greentrail Landscape & Design for various projects for almost 10 Years now. The work is always professionally done, and has met or exceeded our expectations every time. The staff is friendly, hard working and gets the job completed in a timely matter. Great design and planting ideas too! We would highly recommend their services!"
"Jose and his crew completely rebuilt our stone patio and wall that was falling apart, and surrounded it with redone landscaping. We are thrilled with the result. Jose has an eye for design. He makes good suggestions and sees possibilities we did not. He used high quality materials and plants and was careful not to damage the surrounding area. I highly recommend him."
