American Elm Landscape llc

Allan and his crew are awesome! He’s helped us with various projects, including a fairly extensive backyard project of installing our large outdoor patio, creating a dog run in an u used yard space, choosing the right items for privacy, lots of planting of arborvitae and boxwoods and perennials. Allan also came through in a pinch when we were out of town during the first big storm this year! I was so grateful. Love this crew and will be reaching out to consult for spring soon!

The team at American Elm have taken care of our property in Somerville for years and do a great job! Their quality of work is excellent, they go above and beyond to assist in everything from landscaping projects to masonry/hardscaping. Pricing is super reasonable and Allan and team are always accommodating.

I have been working with Allan and his team on a variety of projects at my house. The first was in 2020 to completely overhaul and renovate our backyard. It came out beautiful. I hired him again to help with hedge trimming, hard scape walkway, and when Allan couldn't provide the service he knew someone who could. For example, we repaved our driveway as part of the hard scape project. He didn't do asphalt, but he organized a paving company and handled it all himself. I appreciated that to keep communication straightforward and direct.

What I appreciate most about Allan and his team is he has a lot of knowledge about plants, trees and horticulture in general. I work for a large environmental organization and much of Allan's knowledge tracks with what I hear horticulturists, arborists, and landscape architects discuss. He gives good advice on when to prune and how to prune, etc. other landscaping companies haven't been able to match that expectation and it's an important quality I seek out when hiring for landscape projects.

Many landscape projects can be accomplished by other landscape companies for sure. Especially if the work is just labor intensive.. like mowing, trimming, downing trees, etc. You will get the muscle from Allan but the value added is the knowledge and that is priceless these days in a world where everyone wants the cheapest price, but doesn't realize what invasive species your lawn is covered in or how to fill out the underside of a hedge.

Allan also stands by his work. A project we hired him for involved creating a seating area in our backyard. I decided to use pebble, which after a few seasons... well pebbles got everywhere. Allan offered and fixed the seating area by removing the pebble and installing a polymeric sand which fixed the problem. It was at no additional charge.

His team is also very courteous and hardworking. They have asked me clarifying questions when Allan was not on site and left the work areas clean and tided.

I will continue to utilize Allan's services and appreciate that I can rely on his company for our landscaping needs.

Working with Allan and his team was for sure the least stressful experience I have ever had with contractors/landscapers. I have a small outdoor space in the city that needed a complete redo for my petcare business needs. Allan knew exactly what would serve my needs and look best - taking care to ensure everything would be safe and secure for the pups, while also looking beautiful and enjoyable for me! Highly highly recommend!

Allan and his team revamped my entire back yard with a new patio, cobblestones, plants, and sod. He and his crews did a fantastic job. I am really happy with the quality of work and it was at an affordable price. Allan was extremely responsive over text and email which made me feel like he cared and was invested in the project. It is clear that he is devoted to doing top of the line work. I have another project I would like to complete within a year's time and I will definitely hire his company again.
