We had Allan plow and shovel our walkway after the blizzard. He did an amazing job for a reasonable price. Hope to hire him for other projects.

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.

Do NOT interact with this trash company. I placed my deposit with them and their communications all but disappeared. When prodded, they repeatedly promised they were working on other large projects and would start “next week”, but never showed. Complete scam artists, still never got my project complete eight months later. Avoid avoid AVOID

Allan was communicative and clearly knowledgeable. He was able to set up a consultation with me within hours of my first inquiry. He and his partner did a fabulous job on my patio, and they were friendly, hard working, and efficient.

It was a pleasure working with Allan! He is a true professional - punctual, responsive, and always followed up in a timely manner. His turnaround time was quick, and the transformation of our small backyard has been incredible. Our kids have been loving the new space! His estimates were very reasonable, his team was fantastic, and the quality of materials used was excellent. Highly recommend!
