Reviews
In their words.
I highly recommend Alex! We tried contacting multiple landscaping companies in Lakewood Ranch, but none of them showed up when they said they would. Thankfully, a friend recommended Alex and we had a completely different experience.
We switched landscaping companies a couple of months ago to Squirrel’s Friend Landscaping. I couldn’t be happier with the decision - Alex has been wonderful to work with. Excellent communication, fair pricing and a great eye for how to maintain and constantly improve your yard. Thanks!
Alex is great! He is reliable and communicates well. He always does a fantastic job with my lawn. He genuinely cares about his customers, which I appreciate. Definitely one of the easiest recommendations I could give.

Questions people actually ask.
Yes — weekly service across all three, on the same day every week.
Every visit:

- Edge drives, walks, and beds
- String trim

It depends on the size of the property, how many beds there are, and how easy it is to get around.
Every plan is a flat monthly rate, no contract. Larger grounds are quoted individually.
Text your name, address, and what you are looking for. We drive by every property before pricing it.
Yes. Bed design and planting, mulch and rock, sod, and full property cleanups.

Keeping the route tight is what makes same-day-every-week possible, so we would rather serve three areas properly than five loosely.
