I can’t express my appreciation enough to Phil and his crew! His professionalism and expertise are unmatched! I was able to coordinate with him from out of state on behalf of my elderly mom to restore her lawn which was left unattended for months due to another company cancelling service without warning. He promptly visited the property, gave me a very fair quote, sent me before and after pictures and even pointed out some areas of concern not related to landscaping so I can help my mom further. I couldn’t be happier with the level of service and his attention to detail. You don’t come by service like this much anymore. I’d give Little Rest an A+ if I could!

"Thanks for your thoughtful and thorough review [Member Name Removed]. Indeed the yard was in serious need of attention, and the neighbors were thrilled to see us there, restoring it to a state anyone would be proud of."

We have been working with Phil and the crew from Little Rest Landscaping since 2013 and they do a great job keeping our summer cottage looking great. They are punctual and we don't feel the need to be there to keep an eye on them. They are more than happy to work out a schedule with you to keep costs down if that is a problem.
Response from Little Rest Landscaping
"Thanks [Member Name Removed] for that wonderful review! It's always a pleasure to work with clients like you. I'm looking forward to continuing our care for your property. Cheers!"

We have been very pleased with our relationship with Phil and the crew at Little Rest. This is a summer home for us, so to have them come reliably is great. I don't have to worry if the work is getting done even when we aren't there to "watch them". Whenever we have ad hoc work, they take care of it and help take a lot of pressure off maintaining the property.

Fabulous! Phil is so professional. He is very fairly priced, because the quality of his work is worth way more than he charges me. He is so usable. I never call him for lawn cars or leave removal. he seems to know when I need him here. I recommend him highly. You will be completely satisfied!
Response from Little Rest Landscaping
"I wish there was a name attached to this great review. I did a lot of work in May, so I not sure who this would have been. But we do take great pride in delighting our clients. Thanks for those kind words!"

Phil left us a detailed description of what he thought the lawn needed and came prepared to start on day 1. Very professional and courteous. Dethatching made a mess (as it should), but when he left all was tidy and cleaned up. Next came aerating, fertilizing, and seeding in thin spots. Even though things have not really started growing yet, the lawn looks healthier and I'm convinced it will start greening up and filling in soon. Really enjoyed working with Phil and learning from him...plan on having him come regularly to aerate and keep the lawn healthy.
Response from Little Rest Landscaping
"Thanks for that! The lawn should really improve now that we've opened it up to air, water, and nutrients via aeration and dethatching. Smart consumers like you do the right thing by seeking out and acting on good advice. I like to think I provide that. I'm looking forward to seeing good results, especially now that we're getting some good rains."

Phil is dependable, with quality work, and quick response to phone and email was somewhat dissatisfied with the leaf removal the fee was n$600-this should have been discussed before work was performed fee was high enough that I may have wanted second quote.
Response from Little Rest Landscaping
"Thanks for those kind words! Yes, leaf removal is expensive, but we try our best to keep the price down by taking the leaves to be composted instead of to the dump. Like most people in the woodsy areas around here, the volume of leaves you get is mind boggling and very labor intensive. I agree that getting another quote might be a good idea, but I believe it is hard to beat my prices And professionalism."

"Thanks! Yes we did a lot of lawn renovation last year, and the results were great. Crabgrass has been replaced with quality turf grass. Green all year! It’s now 5-30-2018 and the lawn is looking great. Turf grass has replaced crabgrass and the property looks so much better."

Phil was prompt professional and courteous. He cleaned leaves small debris and left the properties looking wonderful and ready for the season. A wonderful addition to our team. His price was almost 33% less than the previous landscapers. I have contracted him to do lawn maintenance for the summer.

did a super job. it had rained the day before and i had lots of oak leaves (pin oak, with the spines that dig into the ground). yet he got it flawlessly clean. would definitely hire him again.
Response from Little Rest Landscaping
"Thanks for that stellar review! It was a pleasure meeting you. I'm glad you like the job I did, as it was challenging, but I agree it came out well. I look forward to hearing from you again in the fall if not sooner. Thanks!"

Excellent quality work. All lawn mowing is excellent, even includes alternating mowing patterns to keep the lawn looking interesting. Any ancillary landscaping has been done with great knowledge and skill, at a reasonable price. Very pleased over the years.
Response from Little Rest Landscaping
"Thanks for taking the time to write such a nice review! We enjoy working on your property, because it's beautiful. Also, we change mowing patterns for two reasons: aesthetics and it keeps the grass from getting matted down."

Hiring Little Rest Landscaping to do our lawn was one of the smartest decisions we made last year! Phil and Roger are hard-working, knowledgeable, reliable, honest and neat. On top of that, they are very nice people! They go the extra mile and the yard always looks great after they're done - a real joy!
Roger also did a beautiful job trimming all our shrubbery at the end of the season and he left the place impeccable.

"We always work quickly and efficiently. That's the only way to make a profit in this business. Emphasis on efficient. As for the edging, that was never discussed and it is never assumed. [Member Name Removed] should have mentioned that as part of the job, but he did not. not. Sorry for the misunderstanding! I guess we have to chalk this up to miscommunication."

"This was a lawn which we dethatched and treated with preemergent crabgrass preventer, lime, and fertilizer. It was a small yard with many obstacles and tight corners. I don't think we could have priced it any lower without losing money. The lawn has since responded beautifully. Glad we could help!"
