We highly recommend Benson Enterprises. They have planted trees for us in the past and are always quick to respond whenever we reach out. We recently had Pedro, Nilson and Miguel out and they did an amazing job with the landscaping and mulch. They were meticulous in their work and very friendly. Our yard has never looked better!

Javier and Jorge from Benson Enterprises did a great job mulching our yard. They worked very hard for several hours. They were neat and my yard looked great when they were done. I will use Benson again.

We can't speak highly enough of Benson Enterprises and the services they provide. Their staff is always friendly and efficient, especially the crew that completed our recent landscape maintenance - Pedro, Nilson, and Miguel. They did excellent work and it looks great. This is why we contact Benson year after year for all our land care needs.

We are very happy with the work done by Jorge, Tony and Gerardo! We had a large project cleaning up landscaping, edging, dealing with invasive onion grass, and needing fresh mulch. They were prompt, worked effectively and the final product looks great! They cleaned up everything so well. Also, had a great process meeting with Aaron to discuss our vision.

Javier, Carlos, and AJ were out here today April 15, 2024, to do our annual Spring cleanup and landscape preparation for the Summer season. This task included over 500 linear ft. of landscaping beds. Clean out, edging, de-weeding, shrub trimming, and mulching. The team did an absolutely amazing job. Three team members, here for 5 hours. We’ve used Benson Enterprises for over 20 years in our previous and present homes. Their teams have superb talent, and careful consideration of the homeowners’ needs. Excellent communication skills. Today is no exception. You couldn’t ask for better results.

Hector and Israel replaced a low retaining wall and walkway. Their work was exceptional. They were attentive to protecting adjacent planting beds and showed excellent attention to detail while making rapid progress. Not only is the resulting broken slate walkway beautiful, but they left the entire work site in better shape than when they started.

Many thanks to Pedro, David, and Carlos for their recent privet hedge pruning work. We have a 200ft hedge that needed major dormant pruning. They did a great job, did exactly what I wanted, and cleaned up all the debris.

Another great spring cleanup by Benson-thanks to today’s crew: Pedro, David and Carlos D!

I waited a long time to get landscape lights put in on my property and I did a lot of research to decide who I wanted to do it. I am SO GLAD I chose Benson Enterprises! The landscape lighting they put in on my property is better than I could ever imagine! I am going to have my back property done in the spring and cannot wait. The experience was great from the start - first the demo and ongoing customer service from Ben, then the the install done by Mike and Hugo - excellence from beginning to finish! If you are hesitating - DON'T! Go for it and you will be so glad you did! My entire property looks amazing - what a difference lighting makes! Thank you!

Hector and Sender did an AMAZING job building the patio for our hot tub and fire pit. They completed the enter project in three days and did a great cleanup after. Thank you for your AMAZING work! We will be using Benson in the future for outdoor projects, and strongly recommend them.

1698198057

We asked Benson Enterprises to replace a tree in front of our house with another. It took 9 days to complete this from acceptance of proposal. Pedro and Nilson did an excellent job with professionalism and thoroughness. Thank you Benson Enterprises for the ease of doing business with you. Julia (Diep).

Our Project started at the Pool Store, discussing potential in-ground pool spec's. We quickly moved into discussions on accompanying landscaping possibilities, where it was suggested we contact Benson Enterprises. Awesome advice! Discussions with their Landscape Designer Greg Fritz helped us realize quickly that we were at the right place (no other quotes required)! We also were surprised to find out how many friends and neighbors had already done business with Benson - all good!To us, the overall project seemed a bit overwhelming, so many moving parts (Pool Install, Wood Patio & Shed demolition, new paver stone patio with raised level and lighting, new shed & hot tub delivery inside new fence). Greg was instrumental in managing and coordinating across all companies/activities. We felt at ease, while he always answered our many questions!Lastly, cannot say enough good things about our crew. Daniel, Alexis, and Israel were such hard workers... prompt, courteous, detail oriented... always with a smile on their face (working rain or shine). We have made new friends!Our backyard has been converted from a "nothing special" arid setting featuring a 28 year old pressure treated deck, to an oasis! Thanks so much, Benson!

This year I needed an "early fall cleanup" because of the massive number of nuts and shells that are the price of living in a tree-full area. Nilson and Pedro did an absolutely stellar job of cleaning my gutters and decks, power-washing part of my garage and driveway and cleaning my floor mats. I was working at my desk but every time I looked out they were doing something that exceeded my expectations. I've been a Benson customer for a long time, and employees like these gentlemen are the reason that I will remain one.

I ordered 2 face cords of firewood to be delivered and stacked. I was super impressed with Marco, who meticulously stacked the wood and did an exceptional job leaving my property cleaner than he found it. Marco warrants an A+ 5 star rating. I will ask for him in the future.

Jose, Israel, Alexis and Sender were outstanding and the quality of their work is the best I have ever seen! I will continue to recommend to these same guys for future projects. They were all very kind, responsive and patient with our request and questions throughout the project. They were also very flexible when we made several changes to our design. Well done! Mike Gilbank

Unbelievable work by Mike M., Pedro and Nicho. Above and beyond with every attention to detail. Front yard was old and outdated and in need of some freshening up. Came on time, barely knew they were here, and I walked out to a complete yard transformation. They even repaired damaged grass and hosed off a dirty sidewalk. Impeccable cleanup as if they were never there leaving me to enjoy my front yard and it's new curb appeal. Great design by Ben also!

I am submitting a review on behalf of my father, Sam Piperni. He is very pleased with all of your hard work and landscaping design. My mother (his wife) passed away in January and he wanted the gardens to be bright and colorful like she always had it. It looks gorgeous! Ramon, Luis Ramon, Joel, and Neal we cannot thank you enough! My father will definitely be a returning customer!
