We had Bbq pit we wanted to get rid of that was limiting the functional space in our backyard. Leo and his crew did a great job with the demo! Organized and professional! Not a single complaint. I would definitely hire them again for future landscaping projects.

The brick walkways that were installed turned out beautifully. I went with a herringbone pattern and it was installed with precision. I had additional brickwork done a couple of months later, and it came out just as nice. I also had accent lighting installed in both the front and back yards...

Hortonâ s heating and air did an amazing job on my installation. The price was fair and they were very clear about everything happening in the process. Two years later and our system is still working just like the day they installed it. Highly recommend this company.
