Highlight Landscape & Design’s customers describe planting projects alongside patios, retaining walls and other outdoor construction. An August 2026 reviewer praised the team’s trimming of hemlocks over 20 feet tall and the clean condition of the property afterward. The company says it has 20 years in business and offers free estimates. In March 2026, a customer described Dave and his team redesigning and planting both the front and back yards. They saw plans and planting selections in advance and made changes to the design. Dave also made custom fence panels to conceal utilities. The customer said planting was completed in one day, followed by mulching and cleanup. A February 2026 customer in South Glastonbury described a retaining-wall and landscaping replacement with pavers, steps and a river-stone drainage run. They praised updates throughout the project. When an unrelated well-line problem arose after completion, the customer said Dave came that morning to help find and resolve it. Another customer writing that month described a completed patio and landscaping installation, including changes suggested during the work; a front walkway was planned for the following spring. A further February 2026 reviewer said Highlight had been their landscape and design company for more than eight years, involved in foundation planning for an addition, swim-spa and patio design, and planting design. They praised punctuality and project pricing. In May 2024, a customer whose mower had broken said Highlight provided an immediate quote and mowed the lawn the same day.

The Highlight Landscaping team did a great job trimming my 20 ft + Hemlocks. Team left the property clean, organized and accommodating.
Dave and his team did a fantastic job re-designing and planting all new landscaping in our front and back yard! Having an in-house landscaping designer and planting expert made all the difference!! We loved seeing the plans ahead of time, details of planting selections and making adjustments to the design. He also helped us deal with a tricky spot in our back yard making some custom fence panels to hide some unsightly utilities. Dave's communication and patience with our ideas and changes throughout the project was excellent. His team did all the planting all in one day, mulched and left the place so clean. I would not hesitate to recommend Dave and Highlight landscaping team for your next project.
Dave and the Highlite team replaced our retaining wall and landscaping at our South Glastonbury home. All pieces of this project from design to completion and follow up were exceptional. We trusted Dave’s experience in the industry for creative ideas including the newest wall block on the market, pavers, steps and a functional river stone drainage run. The team are friendly, professional and always sharing updates with a smile. When we had a well line issue on site after completion that was not related to the Highlight work, Dave was here that same morning helping us find and resolve the problem. All and all we highly recommend the Highlight team and already are planning another project here in the near future.
If only every home improvement contract could go as well as this one did. Dave and crew built our patio and installed landscaping and we couldn't be more thrilled. The craftsmanship is immaculate (down to replacing some section of gutter just to make it look nicer and fade further into background. He made numerous suggestions throughout that just improved the overall usability and appearance. 6 out of 5 stars! They'll be doing our front walkway and landscaping this upcoming spring.
Highlight has been my "go to" landscape and design company for over 8 years. They have been involved in our addition foundation planning, swim spa and patio design process as well as our general landscape and planting design. Their team is punctual and professional and they offer fair project pricing. I would recommend Dave and his staff for ALL your landscaping/hardscape needs.
