On 5/21 of this year I spent $1200 on a prepayment for this company to do a professional landscape design. Occording to the quote it was supposed to include the following
Multiple customer site visits (usually 2-3)
* Site measurements and site data collection - to layout the
existing site elements
* Base Sheet and Base Map - overhead layout of the site,
setbacks, all existing site elements (garage, driveway, walks,
vegetation), features that will remain, and features that will be
removed
* Site analysis - zoning, codes, topography, drainage, soil,
climate, utilities, views, etc.

If you are looking for a company that has attention to detail and is reliable this is NOT the company for you. Maybe if your project is over $100k + he will take better care of you... He said that our job was super easy and "small" at $27k so it wouldn't be a problem.
Main issues:
We felt like we had to be on site every day to make sure things got done as discussed. The owner didn't take notes and didn't relay information to his team, so we had to remind and correct them as they went along.
Recieved 2 different types of grass so the yard looks patchy.

Our retaining wall was damaged during the winter rains. Steve performed complete reconstruction of the wall, installed a drainage system and improved on the original wall design. He also reshaped the hillside to alleviate erosion and planted a drought tolerant landscape that looks fabulous! He is knowledgeable and his crew very efficient.

Steve and his crew did an excellent job removing old vegetation from my front yard and replaced it with crushed rock, stones, and decomposed granite as I requested. All services were performed in a timely manner and was completed on time without a hitch. I have been receiving plenty of admiration from my neighbors and will continue to refer his team to friends and family members. Thanks again Steve and Team!

My parents have had an awful experience with Steve and this company. They paid Steve $4000 to improve the overall condition of their lawn. After several months and following all instructions, the lawn is in worse condition. Not once has Steve come out to inspect the conditions or to assist in any other way. They were supposed to come out this past Saturday and install sod as a last ditch effort to improve the lawn. Nobody showed, nobody contacted. Once he got paid, he has done nothing and has not replied to many calls and messages. Can't contact him by email because the email address on their company

We just had one large pine tree removed and one very large pine tree pruned on the back slope of our property. This was not a job for just anyone. We wanted a fully certified arborist as the trees where over 40 years old. The crew that Steve sent did an excellent job of the removal and the trimming. They showed up on time, communicated effectively and followed our instructions. Once finished they did a thorough job of cleaning up. Thank you for a job well done!!!

Steve and his crew landscaped the front and back of my house. They pulled out the weeds, leveled everything, fixed my irrigation system, put down sod, planted trees and put down ground cover. They did a spectacular job, far exceeding my expectations. If you’re looking to have landscaping work done hire these guys.

I had Steve and his crew come out and take care of a ficus tree that the roots were lifting up the sidewalk, and heading towards the house. He is a certified arborist and said they could trim it, but it would need trimmed every year, also there was an issue with the roots heading towards the house.
The crew arrived when promised, they were courteous, professional and cleaned up when finished.
Great Job, I am loving the look now without my monster of a ficus tree.

Steve Elesky and his crew have trimmed, shaped and cared for our seven trees for three years. The prices at Southwest Tree Services are really reasonable and they are friendly, knowledgeable and clean up thoroughly. Our trees look beautiful and our front and back yards look neat and tidy.
I highly recommend Southwest Tree Service!
