My best friend just had this company do some landscaping for her and she had nothing but great things to say about them! She wasn't 100% sure what she wanted to do with her yard but she said their expertise really came through when she discussed some ideas with them. I was just over there yesterday and saw it for myself. Amazing work!

I wanted to be sure to get this review in since this company was absolutely fantastic! My wife and I were concerned with the Winter weather weighing down on some of the heavier branches on the many trees in our back yard. A friend recommended I speak with Paul at Growing Solutions Landscaping & Design. Not only did they do a phenomenal job of pruning down branches and removing any hazards, but Paul was so easy to talk to. We definitely will be contacting them again to discuss landscaping designs in order to make our yard beautiful and safe for our kids who love to climb all over the place!

I was trying to help out a buddy who had a rough few months. His property was looking pretty bad and I knew he wasn't happy about it. I cut out the research part of it for him and got in touch with a few landscaping companies local to him. Not only was Growing Solutions very helpful in answering all my questions, but he said they did a fantastic job. I'm looking forward to checking it out myself. But I figured it was worth the time to write a review since it made his day.

Paul & Chris are excellent at perfecting and maintaining landscapes. I was immediately impressed with their credentials including Chris's Connecticut State Arborist's licensing and Paul's Connecticut State Custom Grounds License. Normally, when you're calling Fairfield County to find a good landscaper you're guys who work out of a pick up truck. Their landscape designer Brid also had an impressive background. Needless to say Growing Solutions Landscaping & Design was the right choice.
