### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Ruth Leathers, July 2026**

> Great company, great people. They were easy to work with, knowledgeable, flexible, and receptive to my ideas. Also prompt in getting the job done and did a beautiful job. Thanks!

**★★★★★ — Nick Lansing, Oct. 2025**

> We hired Miller Creek for a rush autumn job installing wheelchair accessible pathways in the front and back yards on our sloped lot. They also expanded and reinforced the back patio. Winter shut down the project very close to completion. Snow & freezing temps made the slope unsafe for the work crew's skid steer.
>
> Miller Creek prepared the incomplete parts of our yard very well for the winter. They also cleaned the street of muddy clay when the project shut down for the winter.
>
> Miller Creek communicated during the off season about requirements for restarting, resuming work as promised when improving weather and site safety met those requirements. The paths, walkway and patio look beautiful and function as well as we'd hoped.

**★★★★★ — swdowning, Aug. 2025**

> Quality work and friendly people!  The service was timely, efficient, and non-intrusive.  We were totally satisfied with the work performed and will engage them again in the future.

**★★★★★ — HU-101917592, July 2025**

> The crew that came out to my property was very professional, cleaned up the worksite after each day and delivered exceptional results! I would highly recommend Miller Creek Lawn & Landscape and will be continuing to use them for all my future landscaping projects!

**★★★★★ — George Host, Dec. 2023**

> This past summer Miller Creek installed pavers, bluestone steps and flagstones to tie our driveway, walkway and deck together. They exceeded our expectations in almost every way. Troy did a great job in working with us on the design, the crew was prompt and professional, and the final installation was magazine-worthy. My only regret is that I didn't hire them a decade ago!

**Comment from Miller Creek Lawn & Landscape:**

**★★★★★ — Claudia Colalillo, Oct. 2023**

> I couldn't be happier with the landscaping  services provided by the company.  The team was professional efficient, and brought my vision to life.  I highly recommend their services for anyone looking to enhance their property.

**Comment from Miller Creek Lawn & Landscape:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words Claudia! We are so happy you love your landscaping services.

**★★★★★ — Tracy Kemp, Oct. 2023**

> Highly recommend Troy and his team to complete any landscaping job, big or small.  Always professional, friendly, knowledgeable, reliable, and attentive.  The end result was more beautiful and functional than we anticipated.  The patio, sidewalk, and front stairs turned out so beautiful we now feel we need to upgrade the doors and windows.  The plant choices are everything we talked about and more.  If you choose Miller Creek to do your next landscaping job, I promise you won't be disappointed or regret your choice!

**Comment from Miller Creek Lawn & Landscape:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words Tracy! We loved seeing the transformation your new patio, stairs, and sidewalk made to the front of your house.

**★★★★★ — Michelle Wall, Oct. 2023**

> Troy and his team are great. We have been wanting to have a patio added on to have a serene welcoming  space. An area to sit by a fire, have dinner with friends. We had a sidewalk that was in rough shape to say the least and nothing next to our garage which just became an ice path in the winter. The design they did will help with moving water away from garage. Troy suggested seating boulders for some dimension! Love that look. The crew worked hard and cleaned up daily. They also were patient with our new pup Syd! They arrived on time and put in hours to get project done. Troy also was great when we needed modifications prior to start of project. We love the new space you created for us.

**Comment from Miller Creek Lawn & Landscape:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words Michelle! Your pup Syd was the best onsite supervisor!

**★★★★★ — Brad Edgerton, Oct. 2023**

> I have worked with Troy for 20 years on multiple projects at 4 different properties. His crews do a great job and the results always exceed our expectations.

**Comment from Miller Creek Lawn & Landscape:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words Brad! We appreciate your business and look forward to any future projects you may have.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Doing New landscaping** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where are the lights from

A: The lights are by Kichler.  You can see similar varieties on their website.

**Q: bathroom vanities ideas** *(in Photo Questions)*

**Q: Master Bath** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: www.millercreek.com

**Q: are the stones on the mulch, or use sand/dirt to make them shift less?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We use a washed sand base to level the flagstone and mulch around them.

**Q: What's dividing the grass and mulch?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Edge

A: Thank you for your question.  We used a 4" black aluminum edging to separate the lawn from the mulch area.

**Q: Fall clean up** *(in Photo Questions)*

How do you clean the leaves in full?

A: Thank you for your question!  The mulch we used is a shredded hard wood, so it has some weight to it.   To remove the leaves from the area, we simply use a hand-held or backpack blower and blow out of the area and onto the lawn for easy removal.
