Mike and Stan were great to work with, very professional and quick to respond to any questions that we had. My wife and I could not have been happier with the whole process, they recommended plants, offered various ideas and would not leave until we were satisfied with their work.

I have used Canopy for around 10 years and have always been satisfied. Mike and Stanley (and all their crew) are easy to work with and always make sure the work is done correctly and to my liking. They provide my weekly lawn service bit I have also used them for all my landscaping (including design), shrub/tree planting, dirt/mulch delivery and placement etc.

I highly recommend Canopy Landscapes and Maintenance for all your landscaping needs. Both Mike and his business partner Stanley are a joy to work with and their crew is great we well - they are professional and truly care about customer service and customer satisfaction. My husband and I had sprinkler systems installed on properties we own and they did an excellent job!

Michael's Lawn Care has provided us with prompt, superb and professional lawn maintenance for almost 10 years now. Their customer service is excellent. I have actually received Yard of the Month multiple times, and without a doubt, I know it was because of Michael's and his crews. I would recommend them to anyone who expects only the best!
