I have used Rent a Gardener in the past and was delighted again with their work. They rebuilt a railroad-tie retaining wall and removed excess garden soil that had gotten on top of a window well. Excellent work all around. And the crew was professional. courteous, and did a great job keeping a spotless work area. Will definitely use them again.

Rent A Gardener has done several projects for me over the years. I can always count on them to do great work, to be there when they say they will, and to communicate well about the project. I was particularly impressed with a small project they did this year. I wanted a small add-on to a patio they installed a few years ago for a bird bath. The stone had been discontinued, but the supplier said we could have their display when they were ready to dismantle it. Arun kept in touch with the supplier and me for several months until he was able to get the stone. He did a lot of work for a small project, and his crew does the same great work on larger projects. This year they did phase 1 of a project to replant all of the landscaping in my yard with native plants and I couldn't be happier.

I have immensely enjoyed working with Arun and Amy at Rent A Gardener. They have been incredibly responsive to my inquiries and have listened to my needs regarding my outdoor space. I initially contracted with them for a mid-summer clean up. It was immediately apparent how knowledgeable they were about plants and what would work best in my space; they left my garden looking the best it ever has! I am now working with Amy on a larger scale plan for spring planting and am excited to take my garden to the next level. I have and will continue to highly recommend Rent A Gardener to my family and friends. Thank you!

We (and our neighbors) love our newly installed living fence for our backyard. We selected Rent A Gardener for the project based on their detailed, competitive estimate, and recommendation from our independent landscape designer. Rent A Gardener has excellent project management skills with regards to their scheduling and communication throughout our project. They provided the exact plants we specified and went to several plant wholesalers to meet our requirements. The building and installation process was well supervised by Rent A Gardener's owner and in-house landscape designer. The crew were friendly, careful (working around utility lines and other obstacles), and clean. We are very happy with their work. We plan to use Rent A Gardener in the future for our Phase II planting next Spring.

I can’t say enough good things about Arun and his team. We had two patios done, including one with a gazebo, and they made the whole process seamless. Arun helped with everything from paver selection (we chose Beacon Hill and love it) to anchoring the gazebo. He kept us updated, answered all our questions, and made what felt like a big project stress free. The finished result is even better than we expected. So glad we went with him.
