They inspire me. The chance to help something not just grow, but thrive, is what I've dedicated my life to. MY EXPERIENCE My name is Derek Martindale and I'm a professional landscaper. I have a degree in Landscape and Business Management from BYU and have spent the last 15 years working at the largest landscaping firms creating and maintaining some of the most marquee properties in the country. From five-star resorts like the Montage, Ritz Carlton and St Regis in Laguna California to the pristine campuses of Amazon, Facebook, Adobe, eBay and Oracle to mega developments like Daybreak, Saratoga Springs and Station Park in Utah. I've had the opportunity to manage truly spectacular properties and build relationships with amazing people.

I have never dealt with a more professional, and honest company, in my entire life! Thrive completed my Landscaping Job, quickly, and under budget. Drew, and Lynn, are just a few of the Landscaping Experts, that truly impressed me! One Landscaping Company wanted to charge me 50% more, than the estimate, I received from Thrive! If you want to deal with any other Landscaping Company than Thrive, you are making a serious mistake, that you will soon regret! In my opinion, honesty, quality, trust, and World Class Landscaping results, mean something! Thrive Landscape Services possess all of these attributes! It was an honor for me, to work with the entire team, from Thrive Landscape Services! > Very respectfully, > John W., Captain, USN (Retired) **★★★★★ — Dirty Boys Concrete, Feb. 2024** > Derek and Thrive have been an asset to our team for years now. We have worked alongside them in snow removal and landscape projects and have had great experiences. They are prompt and great contractors, and a definitive recommendation from us. **★★★★★ — Jordan Campagna, Sept. 2022** > Derek and his team at Thrive Landscaping Services are the BEST in the business. They are always prompt at responding to any request, and they take great care of two of our homes. If you are looking for landscaping services, I highly recommend them! **★★★★★ — Scott, Sept. 2022** > Hired Thrive to redo/replace landscape. New sod, new flower bed cover, and some new trees and shrubs. Work began on schedule. Had several team members working every day to tear out old material and plant new. Finished on schedule and on budget. Derek was professional knew what needed to be done. Easy to talk to and explained things in detail. Yard went from a little less than average to stellar. We have gotten comments from several neighbors that our yard is the best looking in the neighborhood. Would highly recommend Thrive to others. **★★★★★ — Russell, Aug. 2022** > Always reliable and quality work. Used for 5 years from landscaping to maintenance work and can recommend Derek and his team. **★★★★★ — HU-274473231, Aug. 2022** > Thrive Landscape is such a great company! My yard always looks so amazing because of Thrive. Their crew is always so nice and friendly. **★★★★★ — Kathleen Jones, Aug. 2022** > I am happy to give a 5 star rating to Thrive Landscape. They were here to work when they said they would be, and they worked hard. My pergola, the bubbler, and the rock and flower landscape in back bring me peace and relaxation. I love what they did. **★★★★★ — Natalie Jenkins, Aug. 2022** > Thrive is a great company to work with. Their quality of work is top notch and communication is excellent. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Enhancement work installation and maintenance, Aug. 2022** > If worked with Derek and members of the Thrive team for over ten years now and cannot say enough good things about them! You will never find a better group of people to work with! Everything from their constant communication, quality of work, ethics is all top notch! Cannot recommend them enough!! **★★★★★ — Matt, Aug. 2022** > My experience with Thrive has been fantastic. They have been able to diagnose multiple sprinkler issues across multiple properties I manage. As a result the communities have never looked better! **★★★★★ — Chris DeLong, Aug. 2022** > I've worked with Derek Martindale for several years on several different projects for both landscaping and snow removal services. Derek and his team at Thrive are always caring in addition to continually demonstrating a high degree of professionalism and responsiveness to any needs. Derek and his team know what it takes to be a strategic partner. **★★★★★ — Mike Lane, Aug. 2022** > I have been using Thrive for 2 years now. It seems like nowadays, nobody answers the phone when you call and they then never take the time to call you back. I have never had this problem with Derek and Thrive. He always promptly deals with any questions or concerns I have and is by far the most reliable landscaper I have used. > > There are a lot of startup landscapers out there that are really just guys that have bought mowers, edgers and a trailer and have decided to start cutting grass. > > Derek actually has a background and education in the field, so when I ask him questions, he can reliably give me the information I am looking for. > > You won't regret using Thrive, I have been very happy with the services provided. ## Selected projects - [Holladay planting and mulch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/holladay-planting-and-mulch-pj-vj~7027225) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Bluffdale backyard pool landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bluffdale-backyard-pool-landscape-pj-vj~7025915) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Ramp, Stairs, Retaining Wall Install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ramp-stairs-retaining-wall-install-pj-vj~7007986) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 17 - [Maintenance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maintenance-pj-vj~7017499) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 100 - [Draper new install front and backyard, pool landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/draper-new-install-front-and-backyard-pool-landscape-pj-vj~7025919) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - [Backyard xeriscape, pergola, patio, water feature install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/backyard-xeriscape-pergola-patio-water-feature-install-pj-vj~7026459) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Draper pave patio and landscape install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/draper-pave-patio-and-landscape-install-pj-vj~7027248) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Park City planting, mulch, maintenance, overseed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/park-city-planting-mulch-maintenance-overseed-pj-vj~7017494) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 36 - [SugarHouse front yard xeriscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sugarhouse-front-yard-xeriscape-pj-vj~7027240) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Draper pool landscape and fountain install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/draper-pool-landscape-and-fountain-install-pj-vj~7025619) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 33 - [Draper fire pit, trampoline, paver, and landscape install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/draper-fire-pit-trampoline-paver-and-landscape-install-pj-vj~7027215) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Fort Street front yard install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fort-street-front-yard-install-pj-vj~7027204) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Draper HOA park install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/draper-hoa-park-install-pj-vj~7027197) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Draper landscape, retaining wall, paver install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/draper-landscape-retaining-wall-paver-install-pj-vj~7027179) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [Cottonwood Heights re-landscape, xeriscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cottonwood-heights-re-landscape-xeriscape-pj-vj~7026396) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Midvale Xeriscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/midvale-xeriscape-pj-vj~7005735) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [South Jordan backyard redesign](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-jordan-backyard-redesign-pj-vj~7027176) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Draper business park install](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/draper-business-park-install-pj-vj~7027189) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [East Bench complete landscape renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/east-bench-complete-landscape-renovation-pj-vj~7027230) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Herriman backyard enhancement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/herriman-backyard-enhancement-pj-vj~7027168) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 [See all 32 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/thrive-landscape-services-pfvwus-pf~1514653050) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
