Ive had a really above and beyond experience with Truesdale landscaping. I did not know what to plant on my front yard, or when to plant it so I posted on a community forum asking for advice. Barbara Wahl reaches out to me and spent literally hours guiding me through choices of plants and pros and cons of each option. It felt like she genuinely cared about my front yard and the look of the plants I would use to decorate it. Everything is finally picked out and I cant wait to get started next spring. Solid business with huge emphasis on customer service.

If youre looking for expertise and professionalism when tackling your landscaping project, youll find it in Truesdale. Our backyard has become an extension of our home. We have a gorgeous new patio where an old deck used to be and we couldnt be happier with it. Ralph listened to our ideas, explained what would work best in our space, and suggested ways to enhance the vision we had in mind. In addition to a perfectly sized patio, we have a separate area for the grill and pretty paving stones where a well-worn dirt path used to be.
Ralph was in regular communication with us throughout the project.

He and his team showed up on time and always left things tidy at the end of each day. The project was done on time and within budget. Now we are enjoying late summer dinners on the patio and looking forward to working with Truesdale next spring when we add some plantings in Phase II.

Awesome experience! As a first time homeowner, the thought of any type of landscaping stressed me out but Truesdale made the process incredibly simple! In my husbands words, they did exactly what we envisioned. Truesdale was knowledgeable, timely, reasonably priced and just genuinely a great group of people to work with.
