Products and/or Services Landscape Construction – Never underestimate the power of curb appeal. We provide design, installation, and renovation solutions to ensure the landscaping is communicating the intended message of the property. Our team works with the clients from start to finish bringing the vision of their desired appearance and feeling to reality.

Landscape Installation – From small landscaping projects to complete outdoor transformations, it is our goal to end any project with a satisfied client.

Common examples may include plant removal and replacement, addition of new planting beds, clearance pruning, lawn repair, edging repair, storm damage clean-up, etc. Our enhancement team specializes in completing a wide variety of tasks each and everyday. We are ready for anything! Landscape Management – Managing a landscape to a professional standard requires more than just mowing the lawn once a week. Allied Services offers a wide range of services to keep a landscape, and property as a whole, looking its best. However, we understand the different goals and needs of each Client property may vary. Customizing our services to meet these goals and needs, while staying within the annual budget, is a key component of our successful partnership with clients in this area. Lawn Maintenance – Our lawn maintenance program begins each year with a spring clean-up to provide a much needed touch-up following the winter months. Crews spend extra time picking up trash and spent plant foliage to return the property to a point where regular maintenance is possible to sustain a manicured and professional appearance. Lawn maintenance visits continue through the growing season until the leaves begin to fall and turf growth slows. Crews wind down the season by completing leaf clean-up and mowing lawns down to shorter heights to prevent disease development over the winter season. Also available is our year around package for all of your complete grounds maintenance needs! Shrub Pruning – Although the most apparent result of shrub pruning is size reduction, it is also a key component in promoting and maintaining healthy plants. Proper pruning improves air flow and sunlight penetration through the canopy of the plant. This prevents the spread of disease and encourages new growth and improved flower display. Our team is trained and educated in the best horticulture prescribed pruning practices, but we understand the individual preferences and needs of our clients and can apply a more customized and practical approach for any situation. Lawn Core Aeration – Even the healthiest lawns can benefit from core aeration. Core aeration is the removal of small cores of soil that allow air, moisture and fertilizer deep into the root zone of your lawn. It reduces compaction, increases organic activity, and helps to slow thatch build up. We recommend two aerations be done per year to create and maintain a healthier turf. Mulch Installation – We recommend an inch or less of new bark mulch be added to planting beds each year. In addition to the aesthetic benefits, maintaining the right amount of bark mulch in planting beds directly contributes to the health the plantings. Bark mulch serves to suppress weed growth and retains moisture for the plants. As the bark mulch breaks down, organic matter is added to the soil profile, providing nutrients directly to the root zone of the plants. Colored enhanced mulch is also available to our clients. Plant Bed Weed Maintenance – There is no greater adversary to a great looking landscape than weeds. Even the presence of one weed can significantly detract from the aesthetic value of the most manicured landscape. We offer custom programs which can include manual removal as well as chemical treatment by a licensed applicator. Perennial care and hard surface weed control can also be added to any program to manage the appearance of any property to a higher level. Seasonal Color Installation & Change – Seasonal displays provide the ideal opportunity to reinvent the feeling of a property throughout the year. Most displays center on annual flowers, but seasonal props and unique perennials can be incorporated into any design as well. Our team of designers works with our clients to create solutions which meet their needs and catch the interest of all visitors to their property. Programs are custom and can include regular, follow-up care as well.

I usually do not write reviews like this, but I feel that it is necessary so that no one else is taken advantage of. We hired and PAID Danial to completely rip out, redesign, and install all new landscaping around our house as well as fix our broken irrigation system. We should have fired him at the first sign of trouble, but we gave him the benefit of the doubt due to him being referred to us by a friend. The project began at the beginning of May 2019, when he ripped out all of the landscaping, leaving the front, back, and side yards dirt and mud…which was to be expected, but the project was supposed to be completed by the beginning to middle of June. However, the front and side yards—which are in plain view of all to see—were left dirt and mud until the middle of August when he finally completed the landscaping for those parts of the yard. As for the backyard, several of the plans discussed and originally agreed upon, were not done correctly, if done at all, with some plans having to be changed completely. We ordered special rock to be put down, and they put it down before inspecting it to see that most of it was dust and not rock at all; this rock is still in our back yard area. We also paid Danial to fix and reconnect our irrigation system—sprinkler heads, lines, etc.—and it never has gotten fixed. As a result, some of the new plants have died. Danial assured us that he knew how to fix everything from the beginning, but when you would speak to his crew, none of them knew what you were talking about. He also told us that he had experience in building water features such as koi ponds, but it turned out, he had no idea how to do that either, which became evident when his crew told me that they would “figure it out.” Thank God we fired him before we let him build our pond. Most of the time, Danial and his crew would not show up for work. On average, they showed up about 2 days out of the week for at most a few hours. To top this all off, we have paid him for all of this work, and he is nowhere to be found…we have called him, text him, emailed him, and even called one of his crew members of whom could never get in touch with Danial either and got so fed up with everything Danial was doing that he quit. There is more I could write, but I think you get the picture! We have reported him to the Better Business Bureau, and I am going to post this review everywhere I possibly can so that no one has to have this experience like we did! Do not…I repeat…DO NOT use Danial! He may have been good at one time, but he sucks now and is ripping people off!

We had a multi-faceted job completed by Danial Allen from Allied Services. Our half acre back yard was brought back to life with shrubs, trees, sculptured landscaping and new sod. He enhanced our sprinkler system and repaired/replaced and pressure-washed our wooden fence it so it looks new. He also repaired our electronic remote gate at half the cost estimate of another contractor. It’s been two weeks since job completion, and the yard is progressing beautifully. Danial was here every day while the work was being done and offered several suggestions that we accepted, and wasn’t satisfied until we were satisfied. His prices were very reasonable and the quality of work by his company was excellent. Great company, great guy, outstanding performance.
