I have worked with a few different landscapers and Staples Landscaping was the only one who 1) understood my vision, 2) was communicative and responsive from the start, 3) was fun to work with, 4) was reasonably and competitively priced, and 5) did a phenomenal job.

Dillon was quick to schedule an initial walkthrough and consultation, and he said he would follow up with ideas soon. Unfortunately, a month has passed without any follow-up. While I wasn’t in a rush to begin the project, I expected some communication after he …
