Five year update: There is not a day gors by that we don't love the view of our landscaped yard…read more As requested, Trio installed native plants that attract birds, since my hobby is photographing birds. But the result was much more, the variety of flowers, shrubs and trees, (some bearing berries for birds) is the envy of the entire neighborhood. The plants have matured into a planned "painting" of contrasting foliage. My experience is that money spent outside of the house goes further than remodel money spent inside...maybe it is the "alive" thing that plants have. That sounds dumb, but seeing the seasons change in my yard is life affirming. Thanks, Diana. Larry and Helen

I called Trio Landscaping last fall to discuss a landscaping project we needed for our backyard…read more This is a duplex that hasn't had much loving care to the landscape due to it being a rental property. Now that my husband and I, the owners, moved in, we wanted a space that felt "finished", cozy and a place where we would like to hang out. Diana, the owner of Trio Landscaping, was excellent to work with. She spent a lot of time getting a good understanding of our budget and what we wanted before she created a plan and sent it to us. We had several zoom calls discussing the plan and making minor revisions to ensure it met our needs. Her design is spot on for our space. We were out of town the week the construction took place and came back to a completely new backyard! It has transformed the way we spend time in the back yard - hanging out with friends, grilling and just reading and relaxing. I now have a backyard I am proud to show off. The Trio Landscaping team are all top notch professionals! Thank you, Trio Landscaping!

They have all the equipment to reconfigure the hill but also experience to guide our decision making. We decided on three tiers or terraces. Weather only stopped them when it would have been worse to work on the hill than not. Rain, snow (not yet) but November weather didn't stop the progress. We are so happy with the outcome. November finish time meant we waited till spring while we made decision on plantings and yard art. Grab this team before they are reserved out too far. It was a real pleasure working with them and now looking at the end product. I will post pictures of their work. Landscapes, walls, terraces, patio floors friedrichlandscape@gmail.com

I selected Inspired Landscaping based on Kara's previous very positive review. I have no 2nd…read morethoughts (well, maybe the overall cost but in the end I think it will prove to be of good value). In any case, ~20 years ago my son and I terraced the slope & garden on the East side of my house and installed timber retaining walls. Despite the fact that I used treated lumber the once pristine barriers had begun to deteriorate. I also had started but never finished several other projects. The patio and backyard were getting shabby and overgrown. It was time for a change. Anyone who may have read some of my previous reviews knows about my somewhat recent physical challenges. I'm not exactly a Spring chicken either. A professional job was in order. In addition to choosing Inspired I selected bluestone rock to replace the rotting timbers. The resulting walls and edging look great and the old beams were hauled away. Finished work included river rock and mulch. Gustavo partners with his father and brother to schlep, prepare, install and clean up. Gus was personable and I found him easy to work with. Everything was completed on time and according to neighbors looks: "amazing." Bluestone is not inexpensive. At first I was hesitant to spend so much, especially since I had done much work myself. But I think that in the long run the landscaping/hardscaping will more than pay for itself in providing years of entertaining and peaceful contemplation. Not to mention that it will likely raise the value of my home. If I have any major landscaping additions, I won't hesitate to contact Gus and his crew. Together they are effective, efficient, courteous and meticulous.

They did have some premade hanger plants for on sale which looked great. Looks like they are running this event a few times this month so definitely worth checking out.

They have cut down flowers next to trees and then stuck the chopped off pieces in the ground to make it look like they didn't cut them down. The tree that they are trimming up to is on my property. They have used a leaf blower to blow her leaves into my yard. I would understand if they were only doing it to make them easier to pick up away from her fence, but they never came and cleaned them up. I had finished picking up leaves right before they came so there was a clear line and I saw them doing it as I was leaving. They also over spray the chemicals they add to her yard into my yard. If they are your service, I'm sure you think they are fine. They work too fast and do not care about damage done to surrounding properties so you might have issues with your neighbors if you use them.
