My yard has been transformed from a "mess" to a "masterpiece". I can now pull into my driveway and be so proud of what I see. Toms Ponds shows up when scheduled, provides high quality work and is highly reliable. I also take advantage of Toms Ponds quarterly maintenance so the creation continues to evolve. I especially love when neighbors and walkers-by express that my yard is the most beautiful in the neighborhood. Tom is truly a landscape artist!
