# About Southington Landscaping Pros

A real Southington-focused crew. Not a national app, not a storm-chaser. Built on referrals from homeowners in Plantsville, Marion, and Flanders, and on commercial accounts along Queen Street and the I-84 corridor.

Our Story

## Twenty Years Showing Up in Central Connecticut

We started in 2005 with one truck, one mower, and a simple promise: show up when you say you will, send the estimate you said you'd send, and charge the price you quoted. That promise still runs the Southington Landscaping Pros operation today.

Most of our growth has come through Southington referrals. A homeowner in Plantsville sends us up the street to a neighbor. A property manager on Queen Street recommends us to a sister plaza on West Street. An HOA in Flanders points the next age-restricted community at us. Twenty years in, almost every new account starts with a phone call that begins with someone we already worked for.

We're licensed in Connecticut. We carry general liability and workers' compensation. We register as a Home Improvement Contractor with the Department of Consumer Protection for hardscape installs. And we treat every Southington property like our own: debris hauled, beds edged, parking lots blown clean before the crew leaves the site.

Testimonials

## What Hartford County Customers Say

★★★★★5.0 — Built on word-of-mouth referrals

★★★★★

"Manage a small retail plaza on Queen Street and the previous crew was hit or miss. Switched to Southington Landscaping Pros last spring - weekly mowing on the same day, parking lot blown clean before customers arrive, snow contract bundled in. Single invoice, single point of contact, no excuses."

Jeff M.

Queen Street Corridor

★★★★★

"Hired them for a paver patio in Plantsville. The original walkway from the 1940s had crumbled from freeze-thaw and we wanted something that would actually last. They built it on a proper compacted base with the right edge restraint - two winters in and the patio still looks like the day they finished."

Karen S.

Plantsville

★★★★★

"Our age-restricted community off West Street needed a vendor who would actually show up. Twelve months in and they have not missed a service. The written scope-of-work was clear, the certificate of insurance was on file before the first visit, and the residents have stopped sending complaints to the board."
