Thanks to Mike and the Arata Landscaping team, I now enjoy pulling into my driveway again. My front garden had become overgrown to a point where I could just no longer manage it. I looked around, searched Google and FB pages, asked friends and came across Arata Landscaping. Once I met Mike I knew I was in good hands. He took me to the nursery to pick out plants and then showed me how it would look. He kept me informed every step of the way. And the before and after pictures speak to the results!

I stumbled across Arata on Google and called him to check out the planting beds at my business. When he told me I didn’t need him and it looked great (just needed a good clean up) I instantly knew he was a real professional. Most people would have turned it into a $10k job… so stop searching and call Mike. Period. When it was time to work on our home landscaping I knew who to call immediately. The best in the business. From landscaping design to intricate patio design Mike and his team are serious pros. Not only do they ALWAYS show up when they say they will, they are knowledgeable and professional. Arata landscape transformed our front and back yards from dismal to showstopping! They did it all from demolition of old decking to Nicoloc pavers and picking the right plantings for the area. What I thought would be unfixable turned into our dream backyard. Literally. Just call Mike! You will not be disappointed.

Mike did an awesome job building my backyard patio! He was super easy to work with, listened to what I wanted, and gave great advice. The patio turned out even better than I imagined, and the quality is top-notch. Mike finished on time, kept everything clean, and was totally professional throughout. Highly recommend him if you want your outdoor space done right!

Mike and his team are incredible. I wanted to redesign my front yard, but didn't know where to begin. Mike came out and did a detailed design the first day I met him. I'm not an expert on landscaping, but Mike is, and he took the time to explain everything so I could learn as well. When it came time to pick the plants and trees, Mike explained the benefits of each and why they would look nice in the design. He also explained how to properly take care of them which I really appreciate. When it came time to do the work, Mike and his team are precise and efficient. They had a plan and they knew how to make it happen. By far the nicest and hardest working team I have ever had at my house.

Mike made a daunting task of replacing a large portion of our landscaping low stress and seamless. For someone with little knowledge on gardening and landscaping, his expertise and guidance was invaluable to us. Mike married our budget, style, and desired upkeep level to recommend a beautiful landscape design. He had many recommendations beyond our original scope that ended up making all the difference in the finished product. His team onsite was professional and efficient, even in the summer heat. We will definitely be repeat customers if we have future landscape needs!

Mike and his team scraped, topdressed and reseeded our horrible weed infested backyard in spring 2021.Mike also guided us through selection and design of ornamental plants around a firepit and walkway previously installed. He spent a lot of time helping us choose our plants. Although he warned us spring wasn't the best time to reseed, his advice to he patient and feed and water well paid off. A year later our yard looks great.

My yard was a mud pit and it was a daily stressor to the point where I did not even want to check on my propane tank in order to avoid going to the backyard. When Mike came to give me my estimate, he knew exactly what to do. He is truly an artist and a visionary and now my yard is a dream come true. He and his team took great care to grade my yard so that all the water flows away from it. This is especially important since my house is up against the marsh. He and his team are professional, knowledgeable and personable. My backyard which I hated so much is now my perfect oasis where I can go to escape and reflect. I would recommend him to anyone...even my own sister..and he will be doing her yard in the coming weeks!

We finished a project with Mike Arata a few months ago fixing major drainage issues and reseeding a large part of our back yard after a home construction project. He is to the point and gives it to you straight. I really appreciate that. Their work is great and fixed all our issues and our grass came up so fast and even now, in January, is so green and looks better than all our other grass! Haha! We are so pleased. I would definitely use them again. And when a question came up more recently, I called Mike and he immediately called me back to answer my questions completely. 5-stars all around.

Mike and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They are very professional. We had a stone patio put in our backyard, a stone walkway and resurfaced stone steps in our front. He also did landscaping in the front and backyard. They went above and beyond on everything. Mike took the time to go over everything to make sure we got what we wanted. I even got to go to the nursery to pick out the plants. He explained which ones would be best in our sunny and shaded areas. Weve got so many compliments. We are very happy.

Simply the best. Mike is an incredible plant and tree guy who we have now used twice to help with our landscaping challenges. The first time was when we moved into the area and after interviewing a number of others picked Mike to do a complete makeover of our outside needs including a fire pit, blue stoned a patio, and added a walkway. I believe he planted 70+ plants and trees and it came out beautifully. And second time was when we were faced with changes to the property around us and Mike and his incredible crew came in and added 5 major very mature trees. If in the future there is a need for further landscaping we would not hesitate to pick Arata Landscaping again, Simply the best!

Mike and his team were fantastic building our new patio and setting up and planting our flower beds. Mike worked hard to understand our wishes and provide ideas and options. It s clear he knows his stuff inside and out when it comes to safe, sturdy, water-smart paving/wall construction, and he was great in selecting appropriate and beautiful plants, too. It was a big job but his team worked tirelessly for 3 weeks, never skipping a day or showing up late. They were friendly, courteous, and thorough. Mike has also remained very accessible for followup questions about the grass and plants, which I really appreciate. I d highly recommend Arata Landscaping for your hardscaping and planting needs.

Weve been an Arata Landscaping customer since September of 2015. It all started with a front yard overhaul, which gave it a much needed charming curb appeal. Later we added a beautiful lengthy flower/plant bed along the east fence line. Since then, theyve come by once a year to maintain (trim, mulch & edge) the beds. This year we decided to replace our tired, rundown 18 year old backyard patio. Mike met with us to understand & discuss our needs, provide his input & review the options; we even visited a job site for perspective. Mike fit us in during his busy season and was able to accommodate our schedule. Mike & his team did a professional job. They were prompt, efficient & courteous. They put in the effort to do it RIGHT; making sure all the materials and install met standards. The results are amazing and transformative. The cleanup effort was above & beyond. Mike even spent some time going over the care and maintenance. We highly recommend Arata Landscaping. We remain a happy, satisfied & repeat customer.

Arata took out all the old 70s bushes at our new house and put in bright new plants that make the house look great! Will be using them again when we update the landscaping in the back of the house.

Loved working with Mike and his crew from Arata Landscaping. We wanted to expand our patio and after meeting with Mike made the decision not only to expand it but replace the old pavers as well. He pointed out the different levels from the sidewalk to the patio, and how they were tripping hazards. Considering the long-term and how we want to use the patio we agreed to expand/replace the patio. The pictures show the before and after. Great crew. Showed up on time, worked hard, were considerate and did nice, clean work. Mike takes pride in his work and it shows. End result is something to be proud of. We will get years of use out of our new patio. Thanks Mike!

Arata Landscaping did a fabulous job designing and completing our backyard patio project! Mike has a wonderful eye for design and turned our vision into a reality. He gave us great advice, walked us through every step of the process, answered every question we had, and went above and beyond without adding to the cost of the original quote. The crew was respectful, polite, and hard working and worked well with the irrigation company we had working on our project as well. We couldn t be happier with our new patio and landscaping design and get compliments every time someone walks into the backyard. We wouldn t hesitate to recommend Arata Landscaping to family and friends and will most certainly be using them again for future projects!

Mike and his team completely transformed our front yard, removing our builder grade walkway that was right up against the house to installing a curved nicolock paver walkway with new beddings all around. We couldn t have even envisioned what Mike s eye immediately was able to create. He was constantly in contact with us from the time we signed until our scheduled project date. If you want a real professional stand up guy, with no hidden fees look no further than Arata Landscaping! There are many other projects we will be doing in the future and Mike will be our guy to complete every single one!

My wife and I had Arata Landscaping redo our backyard. They transformed our fairly small backyard into an amazing paver patio with ample planting beds consisting of really high quality plants and trees. You can tell Mike (owner) really cares about the quality of his jobs and making his clients happy. Highly recommended if you want the job done well, on time, and with zero BS.

We used Arata Landscaping about four years ago and I was just sitting on our patio thinking about how great everything looks. We designed with the idea that it would mature and grown around us and I cant believe how fast everything filled in and continues to delight every morning as I sip my coffee and look at our yard. Mike and his crew are easy to work with and so professional. Highly recommend!
