 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started working with NxGen spring 2025. Started with routine lawn and plant maintenance. Very professional! After we saw their commitment to their customers, we decided to look into long overdue projects such as improved drainage around the sides and back of the house and replacing retaining walls and plants in front of the house. This turned out so beautifully that 2 of our neighbors have started new projects with NxGen. Thank Mark, Patricia, John, Micah and the rest of the NxGen team!
