**★★★★★ — Interiors By Michelle, Oct. 2017**

> The Terracare team provide excellent landscaping. From spring sprucing and all through the summer months, the property is maintained. They clean up every twig and blow every leaf, and are really nice. Gary is attentive and always responds to calls and texts.

> Thanks!

**★★★★★ — noah\_dachis, Oct. 2016**

> We use the Terracare crew for not only our landscaping but pretty much anything required for our house. Aside from the grass, we had the roof powerwashed, the gutters redone, the soffets(sp?) and other woodwork repaired and new planting beds installed on our front porch. DId I mention that we are having a major driveway project done? By Terracare??? Well, they do that too. From the initial consult, to driving around to other houses to get ideas, to choices on materials and the associated prices for each, we have gotten and are getting everything we need from Terracare to make our house beautiful. We thank the boys from TC for all they are doing at our house.

**★★★★★ — Julie Musicant, April 2016**

> I had a wonderful experience with the Terracare crew. The owner, Gary Kayal, came up with a beautiful new design for my backyard renovation and helped with every step of the process. He enlarged my patio space with an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, completely renovated my pool, and completed the new space with beautiful landscaping. His guys were extremely professional and talented. I am very happy with the results and can't wait to use my new backyard space this spring/summer.  Gary is SO nice that he will even bring you breakfast in the mornings and dinner at the end of each day. Okay...maybe I made that part up...but I think he might if you asked him to. :)
