Yard Elves did a lawn/leaf maintenance project that included removing years of heavy pine needles. They also bid for and carried out a landscaping project that involved leveling ground, installing weedblock, and installing rocks to improve groundcover. Their work has been excellent -- we are very happy with the results.

Our neighbor Dan hired Yard Elves 2 years ago; his backyard is beautiful. Dan's garden prompted us to get a quote from Yard Elves for our backyard transformation. A year ago, Alan and Nicole turned our blank backyard (new construction) into a tasteful master garden with a flagstone patio. We have a low maintenance beautiful garden with the perfect patio which we use in all seasons. Nicole suggested installing a rain chain, we had never heard of a rain chain.
Instead of a gutter, we have a long beautiful copper chain of cups (rain chain) that adds to our gorgeous yard. We continue to get numerous compliments on the yard from those walking by, especially now with the Lilac, Iris, and Roses in full bloom. We'd recommend Yard Elves to anyone who wants to have a one of a kind yard. Many thanks for an awesome job! Keith and Yvette

For the past 4 years I have had Yard Elves mow and trim my rental. The guys who service it are great! But, Calvin and Joe stand out above the rest. They truly care to make sure the yard is always well kept and my lawn is greener than when I moved it! I have 2 adorable dogs and they always took care to say hello and accept kisses. Calvin was our primary snow removal and Joe just started this year with mowing. I want to keep them forever as my lawn care specialists.

The Yard Elves team just completed my full backyard landscaping and I could not be happier with what they delivered. I was expecting it to look good, but the level of detail and time that they took to make sure that everything was up to their standards exceeded my expectations. The entire team was polite, courteous, and treated my yard as if it were their own. I did not intend to set such a bar for my neighbors, but Yard Elves did nonetheless.

We're incredibly happy we decided to have Yard Elves complete a large landscape project in our backyard. Nicole, Allen and all of their crew were wonderful throughout the whole process. They take the time to ensure quality in everything they do, and it really shows in our garden box, berm and the entire design. We were initially impressed with the way they were able to quickly map out a design upon seeing our yard during our initial meeting with them.
In talking with them it was clear they were an experienced team. We were also pleased that they went above and beyond to meet a completion deadline we had for the project. We now look forward to spending time in our backyard. As a company they really aim to please and take pride in the quality of their work. We would confidently recommend them to anyone in need of a landscape company.
