We needed a property clean-up after moving into our new home. The property borders woods on two sides and had been significantly overgrown. Jonathan was very quick with responding to my request and came right out to give an estimate. It was a big job and Jonathan and the team went above and beyond! Pricing was great when compared to other quotes (especially given the amount of work that they ended up doing!) We couldn't be happier and I would highly recommend it, I will definitely be using them for any of my future needs. read more

I contacted SAR for some work in the yard to create mulch rings around our maple trees. Jonathan responded quickly and we set up a time to meet. After meeting him and talking through what I wanted we agreed on a price and went from there. They added me into a already jam packed schedule and within 2 weeks I had all of the work completed. The results were beautiful and I couldn't be happier. Jonathan and his crew did an excellent job and everything was all cleaned up when they were done. Now let's see if I can keep the sod alive as I don't have much of a green thumb (fingers crossed). I highly recommend them and will use their services again. read more

These guys work hard! They are amazing. Jonny is an honest guy, great to work with and very fair in his pricing. His guys have done a couple of projects at my house and the work is top quality. read more

They did an amazing job on my lawn. They communicated when they were running a little late, which was fine with me. They came out to give me a quote the day I called for my fall clean up. I thought the price they quoted me was good. I highly recommend SAR landscaping. read more

SAR Landscaping guys did a amazing job for us in our backyard. We wanted to level our back yard and put in a retention wall. Re-grade, seed and put a blanket over. They went above and beyond. They put in stairs on one side as well. They are fair with the pricing and top quality work. Will be calling them to do our fire pit and pavers. read more

Called for a quote and made an appt. for someone to come to my house. After a half hour past when Jonathan was supposed to be here, I sent him an e-mail asking if he was still coming. He calls a half hour later and said how busy he was and not acknowledging he received my message so I don't know if he did. He said he was in the neighborhood and could be there in 15 minutes. Did I still want him to come over? (What do you think?) I told him yes. He gets to my house and seems to be semi-bored with the whole thing. Then he tells me he will have a quote in two or three days. I never hear from him again. This is the sad state of business these days. If for whatever reason they don't want to do the project they won't get back to you; they just let you twist in the wind. I can take whatever reason you give for not wanting to do the job. It's better than being MIA. read more

Absolutely excellent work. I called for a quote on Monday, Responded immediately. They came to look Tuesday, work complete Wednesday. Great service, quick response and made my yard look excellent. I will recommend them always and never will go anywhere else. read more

During the design process, Jonathan was extremely patient and worked with us until the design was just right. On the day work started, his crew showed up on time, were very pleasant and finished the whole project in one day even in the extreme heat. They cleaned up afterwards and put everything back in it's place. Our landscaping turned out better than expected and we are pleased with the results. We highly recommend SAR Landscaping, you won't be disappointed! read more

I stumbled upon SAR on Yelp while conducting a search for landscaping contractors for my parents. Jonathan who was quick to respond to all emails and understanding of my situation. Jonathan always responded to emails same day unlike other contractors I was talking with. After a few back and forth emails and a few quotes I decided to go with Jonathan because he offered a competitive price and had great customer service. My dad is not an easy one to please as he has been maintaining his yard for the past 20 years. So asking him to give it up was somewhat difficult. However, he was so happy with the results from SAR's service for mulching and spring clean up that we hired them for weekly mowing service. All in all highly recommend this company! read more

There's always something about reviews. I reached out to them because I was looking to get some pea gravel delivered. Unfortunately they don't deliver but I'm taking time now to write a review because... I was so impressed with the respect and helpfulness. Usually you call and if you ask for something they are not interested in they just hang up and leaves you with a bad taste... right? I called to ask if they deliver pea gravel and whoever was on the phone, I'm guessing reading from the other reviews it's Jonathan responded with a no but when I asked do you have any recommendations he was clearly interested in helping me and suggesting places that I would even get it for cheaper. Then after even telling be directions and details, while seemed like he was in the middle of working because other guys were talking in the background, he ends with have a good weekend sir. Hey, I don't care who you are, but if you have someone who's going to interact with you like this... even to someone who is NOT using their services, then they are the ppl to go with. Just saying, I saved his number. Running a business like a pro, respecting ALL people customer or not equally is a big win for me and others who will ask me if I recommend a landscaping contractor. Just saying... read more

They were very responsive when using the Yelp quote option. They do a quick and good job. They even trimmed my bushes as a favor the week my baby was born. I highly recommend them! Great service and great people! read more

For three years whenever they would say they were going to do our mulch beds, it was minimally 3-4 weeks later than they told us. They didn't follow up, we had to keep asking when they were going to complete the job they had committed to. Last year they were drinking beer while working on the mulch beds and we were appalled. Drinking alcohol while working is never acceptable. They send bills sometimes three months later after the fact and do not keep track if they didn't mow due to rain or weather and bill for it anyway. We kept track and had to address that we were billed when they didn't mow and then they corrected it. When my wife sent them a text letting them know that that I had contracted a different service (due to the explanation above) the owner Jonathan replied "Not a problem. I wasn't interested. Best of luck" after we had paid them thousands of dollars over the years. Highly unprofessional. read more

Wow! What a phenomenal job S.A.R landscaping has done. They went above and beyond our wildest expectations. Jonathan was very open and honest about the work being done and didn't gauge us in regards to pricing! I will definitely recommend he and his company to friends, neighbors, and family. read more

Very unprofessional and deceitful with prices. Can't seem to find anyone good in the area and SAR is no different

We just had them overhaul our entire yard and they were not only friendly, competent, professional and hard working, but they cleaned up after each day they were here. I felt they did everything we asked and were very reasonably priced. I would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

We needed solutions to resolve a drainage issue and to build an outdoor fire pit/entertainment area for our new home. Jonathan was nice to come out and tour the property on 2/5/17, and seemed excited, but we never heard from him again. Very disappointing. We had to move forward with a more established business. read more

We used Jonathan last year for the first time and just called him again to lock down landscaping service for this summer. He did a fantastic job last summer. Always reliable, did extra work when needed, came back and installed bulbs for us at a later date. Just a super nice guy and a really hard worker. Very reasonable and competitive rates in the area. read more

I found this company online. I called and Jonathan he replied quickly. He came and and gave me a fair quote. Not only was I impressed by the professionalism and response time, but their honesty and great work won me over. They did a great job with my clean up and I plan to use them regularly. I highly recommend everyone to use their services. I'm so impressed on how efficient they were, not to mention the great job they did. read more

No one ever reached out. I would say they are unreliable. Not even a message saying we are booked, unable to take on new business.

I have used them for the first half of the year. While the experience started out fine and some projects were completed. I had to micro manage their ability to cut my grass consistently. They could never stick to a schedule and had to be called almost every week to cut the grass. No one has time to micro manage grass cutting. I am very busy with work and such. I don't need to be wasting my limited family time tracking these people down every week. I would never recommend using them for continued lawn care by any means. read more

They do work on my home. Always on time and on budget. They clean up when done and are always willing to take on any job I give them. In and out with no drama, Great people, call them. Reasonable prices. read more

I hired SAR Landscaping Contractors because they served others in my subdivision and did a nice job. I needed thatching and aeration services for my lawn, and requested it on short notice. Jonathan was incredibly professional, communicated with me each step of the way, and got the job done as promised. The final result was excellent, and the price was extremely fair compared to others. Jonathan even provided several other recommendations for my lawn knowing I would be doing it myself. I would highly recommend SAR and will be using their services again in the future. read more

My skyrocket juniper trees planted last April were leaning and not looking so great. Jonathon and his crew did an excellent job staking them and raising them up to help the roots. Jonathon was quick to respond and set up the job. He had everything set with JULIE before he and his crew came out to dig. Well worth the cost. I highly recommend them. read more

Quick response and took care of some work I needed done right away. Responsive and had a good price on an estimate for future work I will have them do as well. read more

Awesome! Would absolutely hire them again. Johnathon got back to me within hours of my first time reaching out. He replies quickly and came out the next day to give me a quote. He worked with me via email and phone which was very convenient. I came home to my overgrown front yard all trimmed up beautifully! His prices are quite reasonable! read more

I am very pleased with the lawn care service I receive from SAR Landscaping Contractors. I spoke with Jonathan after seeing them working on neighbors' yard. He is very polite and listen to my needs. He has been dependable and does a fantastic job leaving my lawn neat and trimmed. I actually DO smile when I come home to a neatly mowed and trimmed lawn, as their slogan states "to make you smile is our priority"! I am planning to use SAR for future landscaping and grading around the foundation to improve drainage. I highly recommend this business. read more
