Dan came out to our home for the first time 2 years ago and had great ideas about how to to try and resolve drainage issues we had been having in the backyard. He then came out.last year and created a beautiful garden bed and continued to help us with our phased approach to resolving our drainage issues. We had Dan come out to help us with the 3rd phase of our drainage plan in the front yard since we are at the bottom of a hill and again, had great ideas.
His team is amazing and his lead person had good ideas as well. They addressed drainage and beautified our front lawn as well. Smitty 's is reasonably priced and delivers on time, as well as clean work! We would absolutely continue to hire Dan and his teamfor our projects.

I had such a great experience with Smitty's today. We bought a house in December and the seller had the sprinklers winterized prior to closing. We called Smitty's because we couldn't get the sprinklers to turn on. Via a combination of phone calls and video iMessages, Chrissy and Daniel helped me figure out which lever in my utility room controls the sprinkler water source, and when I still couldn't figure out how to properly use the Rain Bird system, Daniel stopped by on his way home from an appointment to walk us through the system. This was all free of charge since they didn't actually perform any services. They really went above and beyond to help us. We'll be using them to winterize our system this Fall.

Smitty's Landscaping did a wonderful job. This year they installed landscaping lights and Christmas lights. They were very professional and I am thankful for Dan and his team. The picture I posted shows 2019 vs 2020. Thank you Smittys.
