A newly installed landscape adds beauty and value to your property. In addition to lawn installation, we offer a wide variety of native shrubs, perennials, trees, and flowers. The goal is to grow a landscape, not plant a landscape. We will help you select the plants that match both your aesthetic and functional needs, installing them with the appropriate spacing to allow them to grow into their environment and thrive. Contact us today to speak with a representative and get started planning your dream landscape.
Your home's landscape can represent a significant investment, and you can trust Harder Services for all of your maintenance needs.

You can not go wrong with Harder Tree! With the amount of hack tree companies that will come and destroy your property, Harder is the only choice for all Tree and Landscaping needs! Hank, Billy and Jack and their crews will take pride in the work performed on your property. Its why they have been in business for more than 50 years!

I use Harder for weekly lawn and shrubs maintenance service. They are a pleasure to work with and stick to their weekly schedule, rain or shine. The supervisor and manager are very knowledgeable about lawn care. This is significantly more than the usual "grasscutters" who call themselves landscapers but know nothing about caring for a lawn, especially controlling weeds or how high to cut the grass so it conserves moisture and helps to guard against weeds.

I want to highlight the excellent customer service we have received from Harder! From thoughtful proposals to quick follow up, and adaptability, they have been extraordinary. We've loved the team who comes to work on the property. They are professional and responsible, and Jack has been excellent to work with as the GM. Thank you, Harder!

Thank you Jack. My Mom's property looks amazing. Your company is far better than any other out there. Your crew is respectful and professional. The bushes are trimmed and shaped beautifully, the lawn is manicured like a million dollar estate and all the beds are weed free. I also have to give a very big thank you to Theresa in your office. She is always a pleasure to talk to when I call with a question or two. Thanks again to you, your amazing crew and Theresa.

Harder tree service is excellent. They are the earliest tree service to reply me. And the price is very fair. Today they came to trim the three big branches above my driveway and finished in 45 minutes. They worked very efficiently. Both my husband and me are satisfied. Next time we till want to use the company.

We just had Harder perform some tree trimming on our property which was executed to the exact directives by Jack to his outstanding crew. We've used Harder in the past to remove a large tree that was a possible damage threat in a perfect storm and no longer sustainable. It was a "no brainer" calling Jack, who my wife calls "our arborist".

I seriously doubted that Harder Tree and Landscape Service would honor their warranty to replace plants that did not survive, but they did! Joe, the landscape architect, contacted me last week to say that he was in the process of selecting plants to replace those that died during the first season. The crew arrived today and did an amazing job. I know that my wife, who died last December and was saddened by the sight of the withered bushes, is smiling on our beautiful garden today.

We have been using Harder Services for a few years. We needed a new service after Superstorm Sandy wiped out our entire property, home and garden. The owner had some great suggestions the first time we met and the workers that come here every week are polite and efficient. They always help me around the garden and we wish we could have found this landscaping/tree service years earlier!
Our home has never looked nicer! I would recommend them to anyone looking for respectful service and the utmost in professional care for your garden and lawn; especially in this age where true care and respect are no longer seen in most businesses.

Recently had Harder Landscaping at my house to provide an estimate for some landscaping work that I wanted performed. They were on time, courteous and very knowledgeable.unfortunately that is where it stopped. Their estimate was nearly 4 times the amount of another estimate I received for the same work. I decided to reach back out to Harder to see if the prices were negotiable given the drastic difference in price. After two phone calls and an email, I never received a response.

Harder was 1/2 the price of the other estimates I received to have my lawn replaced. They were fabulous. The stump grinder was at my house promptly at 7:45 AM as agreed. The lawn crew arrived by 8:05AM. They worked efficiently and politely. At 10:00 a supervisor came to check on the progress and by 11:00 the Jack Harder came himself, very personable and friendly.
By 1:30 a second crew came to help finish up so everyone could be done for the day. One guy stayed back to thoroughly water my lawn and another washed down my entire driveway. Everyone was gone by 2:45 and I had a fresh new lawn and clean driveway. I cannot imagine what the other companies would do more for double the price. Communication was great.
We conversed through email and then by text. I find it better this way than verbal over the phone so there is no confusion on what was agreed upon and responses can be made in a timely manner at our earliest convenience. Here are Before and After pictures. I HIGHLY recommend them. A+A+A+
