We treat every property as if it were our own, and it’s a philosophy that’s earned us the trust of homeowners in The Cliffs, The Reserve at Lake Keowee, Keowee Key, and throughout Greenville’s master-planned communities.

Help People Connect with Nature

We’re always open to chatting with skilled and dedicated professionals who are ready to don a red shirt.

Red Elm recently worked on a hardscape project in our backyard, and we’re honestly blown away by the results. From start to finish, their team was super friendly, easy to work with, and really focused on the details. They turned our boring old backyard into an amazing outdoor space, complete with a patio, fire pit, and beautiful retaining walls. Our friends and family can’t stop talking about how great it looks now. If you’re thinking about sprucing up your property, we’d definitely recommend giving Red Elm a call!

CLIFFS COMMUNITIES RESIDENT

We’ve been using Red Elm’s landscape maintenance service for over 4 years and we can’t say enough good things about their team. They’re always on time, super friendly, and do an outstanding job keeping our yard looking pristine. They go above and beyond with their work, and even give us advice on how to keep our plants healthy. It’s always refreshing when we see a red shirt on our property making sure we remain the prized property of our neighborhood.

We recently had a couple of dead trees on our property that needed removal, and Red Elm’s tree removal service was a lifesaver… Not only did they remove the trees safely, but they also cleaned up the area so well that you’d never know there were trees there in the first place. Plus, their team was extremely friendly and down-to-earth, making the whole experience stress-free. We’re so grateful for their outstanding work and highly recommend Red Elm for any tree removal needs.

Red Elm has taken care of our entire property since we moved in. It was a blank canvas, only some grass and a couple of builder-grade plants. Nate and his crew designed, installed and helped maintain our small yard beautifully. First, they added landscaping and irrigation. When we had the chance to buy the lot next to us, we jumped at it. Talk about a blank slate…Nate came out and designed a great plan. This year, we added even more plants and they installed lights to uplight several of our trees and plants. Could not recommend Red Elm more.

I recently had Red Elm complete a drainage solution at the entrance of my property and couldn’t be more impressed. After nearly four years of searching for a reliable landscaper — with several disappointments along the way — working with Red Elm was a breath of fresh air. Nate was professional, attentive, and clearly committed to high-quality work from start to finish, and the craftsmanship and attention to detail exceeded my expectations. This was only the first phase of a much larger project, and based on this experience, I won’t be looking anywhere else. Red Elm has earned my full trust and comes highly recommended for anyone seeking top-tier landscaping expertise.

The team at Red Elm are a talented group of landscape & building professionals. With Josh coordinating the weekly and project work we are thankful for his resourcefulness to get things done. Todd is plant knowledgeable and exceptional in providing our weekly landscaping services.

Robert Haause

Red Elm has managed my landscape and hardscape needs for several years. All projects have been first class. The weekly landscape teams are experienced and knowledgeable. The hardscape managers have consistently designed solutions for difficult situations. I recommend Red Elm without hesitation.

Richard Bromer

I absolutely recommend Red Elm. Over the last 10 years they have completed many projects for me. I have always been very satisfied with the results. And, they are just a great group of people! Very knowledgeable, very competent, very friendly! Always a “can do” attitude!

Gail Maconkey

Have been very satisfied with the work ethic and finished product produced by the Red Elm team! I especially enjoy working with Parker, as he is easy to get in touch with and explains everything thoroughly. The estimates are very detailed and they will work within your budget and help you develop a long term plan for drainage, plantings, irrigation system and maintenance. I have seen the crew at work several times and they are always working hard, happy to answer any questions and are a great crew.

Natalie Lamound

My husband and I have worked with Red Elm since 2018. We first hired them to remove a pine forest and replant specimen trees, and since then they’ve completed numerous projects including new gutters, zoysia grass, an architectural patio with custom fire pit, hot tub, raised flower and herb beds, a custom “he shed,” and now our pool hardscape and softscape, which is coming to life. We’ve collaborated closely with their incredibly talented team throughout every phase—sharing ideas and watching imaginative plans become reality. Most importantly, Red Elm is a landscaping company you can trust. They show up on time, work extremely hard, and are always professional and kind. Highly recommended.
