We have extensively used Limbach's Landscaping to do all things landscaping related from major projects (complete redesign and installation of complex hardscape and plant material) to more minor projects (patio re-sanding, mulching and transplanting). In each and every instance, THERE IS NONE BETTER THAN LIMBACH'S! Pete and his crew are unsurpassed in their attention to detail and communication. Pete does a spactacular job in listening to what the client wants to accomplish.
He is flexible, conscientious when it come to managing budgets and knowledgeable about all aspects of delivering a great finished product. After completing at least 8 projects with Pete and his crew post a major home renovation, I feel completely confident in saying a job done by Limbach's Landscaping will not disappoint.

Pete and the Limbach's team are the best major landscaping projects. First, Pete took significant time to understand our needs and how we use our yard, including considerations for entertaining, kids and our dog. Then he came with a great plan, adapted it to our specific requests and worked through multiple revisions without issue. He came up with a fantastic layout, great plant options and tree selection, and he called in other experts where needed (e.g., carpenter for deck adjustments, tree specialist).
He also followed up multiple times to make the small corrections necessary in any large landscaping project (e.g., sod and plant replacement, sprinkler adjustment). We have already started our second and third projects with Pete and will continue to work with the Limbach's team in the future.

Well, if you're neighbor hires these folks to do landscaping make sure you're out on your property line protecting your trees and property. They totally destroyed the canopy on our side of our property by removing significant branches to open up the view from the property they were landscaping. We have no issue with them removing branches that actually cross the property, if they are cut at the property line.but these folks obviously bent that 'rule' significantly.
The owner of Limbach's says they did not trespass but 5 trees that are 6-10 feet from the property line have been significantly 'pruned'. They also removed about 15 bricks I had placed at the base of a plant to reduce erosion.still waiting for those bricks to be returned.

I'd give NEGATIVE stars, if possible! I scheduled an appointment with them last week to come meet me for a consultation last night. I left work early to be on time (5pm). By 5:20pm - no show, not even a courtesy of a phone call! I left my job early, & they cant even show up! I left by then to grab a bite - since I didnt even start dinner waiting for them. This is not a way to run a business!

I cannot say enough good things about them and I consider myself a picky person! They are totally worth the wait. George was the only one who came to give us an estimate that showed up with actual blueprint plans and everything itemized professionally. Even though it rained for weeks on end, his crew still showed during his estimated start window. They worked 10+ hour days and worked hard when they were here.
On the last day, after 12 hours in 100 degree temps, they were powerwashing my patio furniture and placed everything where we wanted it. Benny is amazing to work with. I found them through a recommendation of a friend and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Prices were the same or less and his design was amazing compared to what the others would have done. Love, love, love them!
