Bret-Mar did a wonderful job on our back yard. The work was done as promised and we couldnt be happier. The crew suggested a couple updates to our original plan as they were working and were very happy they did as we wouldnt have thought of those items until it was too late and much more difficult to add later.

We are very pleased with the work that Bret Mar Landscape has done for us. After many years fighting a losing battle with weeds and Yucca in our center focal area at the TLC Animal Shelter we turned to Bret Mar for help. They designed and did a lovely job for us. They also maintained the area throughout the season so I no longer worried about weeding and keeping everything looking fresh. They also added more plants and flowers throughout the season. I don't believe the garden focal spot has ever looked this good. Thank you

We had quite a large project and our backyard was on a hill with a lot of trees, we really had no idea what to do with it. We had some ideas but that's about it, I went on line and found Bret-Mar and had Sharon come out to look, she took her time to listen to my husband and me and what ideas we had, she listened and what her and Ashley came up with was nothing but amazing. Then her husband Kurt and Son Adam and their whole crew were amazing, we now have our own vacation getaway in our own backyard. Don't look anywhere else, these people are amazing, they now feel like family.
