Steve, the owner, and his team were professional, thorough and conscientious in their work at our facility. Workers were always dressed professionally. I felt they were an excellent value for our landscaping and snow plowing needs. The lawn always looked well groomed and manicured. Joe

Southwest Landscaping has been an extremely reliable, honest and fair partner with our home owners association for 15 years. They have always done a great job for us. They have always promptly responded when we needed anything above and beyond the normal service. We would highly recommend Southwest Landscaping.

Hands down the absolute worst landscaping company in the universe! I did better work than these idiots when I was 8 years old after my father taught me how to use a rake and lawn mower! I will post pics for proof here in the next day or so!
