We hired Steve Mitchell of Nature’s Elite to implement our landscaping plan. We liked Steve immediately when he came over to survey our situation in March. We had to wait until August for our driveway to be finished, but were amazed when he was able to get started within a week or so after that. He also was great about finding an expert craftsman to build a retaining wall, finding a granite step at a reasonable price, finding someone to attend to our existing evergreens and another person to spread some excellent compost to reinvigorate our lawn. In addition, he had helpful advice about plants – what to get, how to space them and the best locations for each. Steve also came up with a solution for every problem that came up and never seemed too busy to answer a question. Steve’s crew, including his two sons, were a delight to have around: they were polite and hard-working and always cleaned up after each day’s work, as well as being agreeable to any last-minute changes that we came up with. They all seemed to enjoy their work, too. We highly recommend Nature’s Elite.

The job performed by Nature’s Elite in our new house can best be described as OUTSTANDING. Their understanding of what needed to be done in order to correct some severe erosion problems provided us with the options to decide the most cost effective solution. Their work ethic is excellent, they were prompt, friendly and courteous. The additional jobs, a retaining wall, and a beautiful walkway were completed on budget and the workmanship is fantastic. I would recommend them without any hesitation.

We had a large patio complete with underground propane, firepit, circular wall and outdoor kitchen installed at our lakehouse by Steve and his crew. They also handled the landscaping with a wide assortment of shrubs, trees and grass reseeding. We could not be more pleased with how it came out. This was a turnkey operation. Steve handled all the logistics, coordinating with electricians, irrigation, plumbing and granite top vendors and made great suggestions on materials and colors. He ordered and installed our grill, refrigerator, kegerator and fire pit. He even purchased and set up our kegerator so we could enjoy a nice cold beer when we came up for the weekend.

Steve has an excellent team and he is an awesome communicator. I knew where the project stood on a daily basis and boy did his team work fast. In 3 days, he had the layout scoped out, hole dug and filled with supporting gravel. And best of all, the project came in on budget!!! The transformation of our backyard was impressive. Steve was a pleasure to work with. I could not envision us selecting a better team for our project. I would recommend Nature’s Elite to anyone considering a landscape and design project.

Steve Mitchell and his sons and their entire team do only impeccable work. They worked very collaboratively with me to make recommendations as to what solution would work best in each given space and the outcome is stunning. They installed several retaining walls, a huge patio of pavers around our pool as well as all the connecting walkways, a fire pit and patio, granite steps for exterior doors, and beautiful landscaping for aesthetics as well as privacy. Highly recommend this courteous and exceptionally talented crew!!

Steve Mitchell and his team from Natures Elite were highly responsive, professional, and very tallented craftsmen who turned our dreamscape into reality. We initially worked closely with their excellent designer to create a 900 square feet multi level hardscape complete with a propane gas fit fire and hot tub. They worked hand in hand with the other trades (electrical and plumbing) to also coordinate the installation of a 500 gallon propane tank and standby generator. Nature’s Elite also installed two fences as part of the project. They were great to deal with and we highly recommend them to anyone. They were the best!

Natures Elite recently designed and completed a landscaping project for us. The scope of the project was broad, including a permeable paver apron in front of our garage to alleviate water drainage issues and replacing and improving our entrance walkway. In addition, adding a granite and rock border along our foundation, removing Arborvitaes to expand a garden, and planting new trees. Steve, the owner, and his crew were always focused and professional as they worked together as a team. We are very pleased with the excellent quality and beauty of the results.
We greatly appreciate the time Steve took to understand our ideas and project goals, answer our questions, and explain his proposal and process. All of this showing him to be knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a very good communicator. He was on the job, supervising and working all the time. We would highly recommend Natures Elite Landscapers!

We hired Steve and Nature’s Elite to build a large patio, new plantings, rock features and a fire pit for us. The design was unique and Steve and Brandon were very creative in solving for our needs. He listened to our requests and made suggestions without forcing compromises, allowing for changes along the way. They were very responsive and helpful in facilitating the design and permitting process. We are very excited about our outside space.

My front yard was a disaster for over a year then Steve Mitchell and his crew came to our rescue. He showed up when he said he would and he did what he said he would do. For months people would ask, “what happened to your lawn?” Now they are driving by slowly and staring, totally amazed at the green velvet lawn. One guy said it looked beautiful like the green at the golf course! We can’t say enough nice things about the quality of work. Highly recommended by a totally satisfied customer.

Extremely please with the work. Workers were professional and left the work area clean.

Steve was great and his workers professional and conscientious and it was obvious they took pride in our project.

We are very happy and have received numerous compliments.

We recently had to have some landscaping work done on our shoreline. Steve and his crew arrived every
morning eager to work, they kept us involved with the process. Our new retaining wall will be there forever
and it looks beautiful.
They were very professional and the workmanship is fantastic.

I give Steve and his sons my most enthusiastic recommendation – and I rarely write reviews!

As a project manager myself, I have pretty high standards when it comes to a contractor’s work ethic, attention to detail and craftsmanship. Steve envisioned an affordable and beautiful solution to replace a failing retaining wall and a monstrosity of a front porch on my home and got it done on time and within budget despite a week of terrible weather.

Steve communicated clearly and frequently throughout the project and answered all my questions quickly via texts and phone calls. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and obviously maintains excellent relationships with his vendors to readily acquire materials and services needed for projects.

He literally thought of everything – from protecting my newly paved driveway with plywood to including flower beds for my boyfriend to plant next spring to cleaning up mid-project so we could decorate for Halloween. I was thrilled!

My neighbors keep complimenting Nature’s Elite’s work as they walk by and I’m now dreaming up new projects so I can hire them again!

We recently built a new house and Steve and his company were recommended by our builder. We’ve done two projects so far with Steve and have been very happy with the entire process both times. We did walkways, 2 landscape beds and 2 patios. From our initial meetings, to picking out stones and plants and reviewing plans everything was done in a timely manner. They were always on track with their dates, estimates and the quality of their work is outstanding. Any obstacles in our plans were addressed immediately. He was also helpful in coordinating work by other vendors for the projects. We are so pleased with their work we have hired then to do our weekly maintenance.

Natures Elite was very helpful in working with Winn/Stock’s Property Improvement (PI) Committee to enhance the entrance to Winn/Stock. Steve Mitchell, the owner, worked with the committee to design and select the appropriate plants and trees for the area. Natures Elite crew worked diligently, persistently and personally to help us create our new look. We are very pleased with their work and our new “Face Lift”. The project was completed on time and within budget.
Thank you Natures Elite landscape crew for a job well done! The PI Committee

Nature’s Elite was selected to do some landscape work in our homeowners’ community as part of a project to remove old shrubs and bushes (and within budget). Brandon, Kyle, Dustin, Ryan and George were part of the Nature’s Elite team and worked diligently and thoroughly (even through lunch) to complete the work. They are knowledgeable and able to deal with issues as they arise and all are extremely personable. The company also takes care of general landscape maintenance throughout the community. We highly recommend them!

I hired Natures Elite Landscaping towards the end of September last year to replace 2 retaining walls that had early signs of collapse and was beginning to damage the siding on our home at the entrance of our basement walk out french doors. I went online and did my research. They were one of the very few that had a great website or one at all. I loved the fact that the owner, Steve Mitchell (and his workers) regularly go to seminars to stays current in their field. Steve himself came out and gave me the quote. He described the whole job process he would have to do and why, in terms that I would understand. He happily answered any questions I had. They were able to reuse the existing paver stones that were in good condition which saved me money. I found them to be extremely professional and trust worthy. They arrived and left on time and was explained in detail what was going to be done that day, each day. The job was done on time and as quoted. Steve had even called a few days later to follow up on his work and to see if there were any issues. I waited to write my review to see how the walls held up over the winter and they are just perfect. I HIGHLY recommend Nature’s Elite Landscaping.
