There is always conversations with the client about their wishes and then there is a plan and research before executing the project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Estate care exceeded my expectations!
Nikola and Milos, the brother owners, are true professionals.
I’ve used their services on a few projects already, they:

- Built a beautiful stone patio around my pool
- Created a lush lawn with quality seeding, topsoil and organic fertilizer
- Designed and installed a stunning flower garden for Cozy Corner Cafe

Their plant knowledge and lawn expertise was essential for me to decide which grass seed and plants to choose. Native flowers bloom beautifully, and the grass grew incredibly fast. It took them less than a month to transform a construction site full of sand into a beautiful seeded lawn.

Friendly, reliable, and quality work. Niko and Milos with their team of professionals were keeping me up to date with their progress and the following steps.

Highly recommend Estate Care! I’ll definitely be using Estate Care for my future landscaping project!

I used Estate care to also do stump removal and clearing a large area of ground ivy in preparation for new tree plantings and a sitting area.  Everything they have done has been great so far!
