Ty is a man of integrity, which is hard to find in the landscaping arena. He gives a fair price; his crew works hard and they did a fantastic job. The background for our problem, briefly, is that we just moved in last year (2024) and the main thing we needed to fix with the house was the backyard. It was graded towards the house and putting pressure on the foundation. There were cracks beginning to form and if we fixed the yard soon, we wouldn’t have to worry about foundation issues. The backyard was a hot mess: a slab of concrete was split down the middle; the hillside was a jungle; the patio was warped and full of weeds; there were nice raised planting beds taking up a lot of space (but I tend to kill plants) and so the whole thing was not very useful. I had 4 contractors give me bids and Ty was one of them. Now, at the time, Ty was my second choice because another guy gave us an offer that was too good to be true (price similar, but more detailed plan with more elements/delineation of space). We hired that guy, he excavated the yard, put in a huge retaining wall and a smaller one to divide two patios and then said we had to wait through winter. He was then unwilling to complete the project in the spring and wouldn’t give our money back. So then we needed to hire a new contractor to finish the project. The main question: how can we make sure we find someone who isn’t going to also take advantage of us, since we are in a vulnerable spot? I asked Ty to come out and give us an estimate for finishing the job. I also asked two other new contractors (who had not seen it originally). Ty gave the best price and was willing to use as much of what was useable as possible (other guys needed to restart certain elements so they could guarantee the work for X # of years). Ty and crew were great. Noah and Emmanuel worked on grading and laying the two patios. They worked hard every time they came out. Crew also discovered some parts that the previous contractor did wrong (ie no anchor pins in the retaining wall he built, etc) that were safety concerns and worked with us to solve them. The last two days, Ty and the whole crew came out and kicked butt. They worked hard in 90+ degree weather so they could finish up. He didn’t ask me for any money other than the initial deposit until the whole job was completed, even with crazy summer weather causing delays. We are very pleased with our yard and would highly recommend SPL to anyone looking for a hardscape contractor.

Courteous, reliable, great work.
SPL removed sod, regraded and added dry laid stone mini-walls, laid down fabric weed barrier, planted, and mulched. This is the first year of the three-year project and we’re off to a fantastic start! Ty changed his plans on the fly when I realized I needed my gravel driveway extended and got the job done. I could not be more pleased with the results.
Ty was very responsive in getting back to me on the retaining wall/fence and paver stone work I needed. He and his crew did a great job at a reasonable price. I will have SPL Lawn Care back to do more landscaping and related work. I highly recommend Ty and his SPL Lawn Care company.
I reached out to Ty on Thumbtack and he was responsive and professional from the start. He arrived at the given time to provide a quote and did a great job. He helped pick out the plants I wanted and gave suggestions. I added a couple of items while he was working and he took them on without any hesitation. I would recommend Ty to anyone looking for landscaping services.
Ty was great to work with, very responsive and the landscaping looks great. We will definitely have him back if we need other landscaping
Edging/mulching. Removing shrubs and planting new ones. About four hours. Very good quality and friendly professionals.
I had a row of huge bushes that needed to be taken out about 20 years ago. They were monsters, but these guys came in and had them out so fast and efficiently. Cleaned up and left no mess behind. Can wait to work with them again on my next project.
Super nice team that did the work. They were very considerate of what I wanted and did a meticulous job!
One main thing I love about Thumbtack is that although you don't always find your right fit but when you do, the experience is just relieving. Tyree and his Company were on GO since the minute we started. The hustle, the responsiveness over all the execution just, its just unrealistic and really hard to find. Tyree took the time to learn my system, heard me out and has been preforming without an issue ever since. His company currently oversees 3 of my property and his portfolio will grow due to his character and performance Highly recommend him, truly do. Thank you Tyree !
Great work quality on our front mulch bed. A little difficult to schedule this time of year, but fortunately we were able to wait a few weeks until they could get us in. Would hire them again for future work.
Ty was the most responsive and great to work with. Very personable and did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it.
Thank you very much
The guys know how low to set the blade on the mower. They don’t chew up my yard like the previous service. They clean up real well. Had them put stone in my garden areas and they did a very good job with that. It looks like a new house.

I’m really impressed with what Ty and the guys at SPL Lawn Care did with the mess we had in front of our home. It looks awesome now! As first time home owners, we didn’t have a clear direction of what we wanted done. Ty made great suggestions, and was very helpful while walking the property to plan. Very professional, highly responsive, and great pricing! We will definitely be repeat customers!
