Newleaf Landscapes did some volunteer work for my disabled parents. What a professional job and what a blessing. They saw a need while working on one if their clients and when they completed that job they stepped up to help out a neighbor. They are a great company for our community.

Very pleased with the work Bill and his crew did with our seawall. Like many we had lost yard due to rising lake levels, they came up with a great plan to work with our existing seawall. Hope this will keep us high and dry for years to come!
