GENUINE CARE
FOR A
PLACE WORTH PROTECTING.
AJ & A Rake started with one simple idea: the people who live and work in the mountains deserve landscaping that actually works here.
Summit County isn't like anywhere else. The soil is lean. The season is short. The elevation throws curveballs that no big-box lawn care guide will ever mention. My team and I have built the company around what actually works here — native plant-centered design that fits the landscape rather than fights it, irrigation systems engineered for water conservation from the ground up, and hardscape that integrates with the natural environment rather than sitting on top of it. That's not a sales pitch; it's just how we work.
My team and I work exclusively in Summit County, and that focus matters. This landscape comes with real responsibilities — fire risk is a genuine concern at our elevation and in our forests, and water is a resource that deserves to be used carefully. We take both seriously on every job.
Our clients include homeowners who take pride in their yards, HOAs and property managers who need a crew they can count on, and commercial properties — hotels, resorts, and businesses — where the outdoor space is part of the guest experience. No matter the project, the approach is the same: show up, do it right, and communicate clearly along the way.
I personally oversee every job we take from start to finish. No subcontractors for the core work, no hand-offs, no wondering if someone showed up. When you hire AJ & A Rake, you're hiring me.
If you're ready to put your outdoor space in good hands, I'd love to talk.
