Luke's Landscape & Maintenance

Luke's Landscape & Maintenance runs landscaping and lawn care work in McKinney, Texas. Luke Truetken heads the company and his crew handles regular lawn maintenance, seasonal cleanups, mulch work, tree and shrub trimming, sod installation, drainage fixes, and full landscaping projects that include planting trees and building new beds. They also handle tasks like hanging outdoor lights and clearing out overgrown areas on residential properties.

Homeowners bring them in for jobs such as installing French drains along house sides to fix settling yards, laying St. Augustine sod over old grass, removing dead trees near pools, and redoing entire front yards with new designs. Luke and his crew trim heavy tree limbs and shrubs ahead of events, clean garden beds, spread mulch on large lots, and adjust plant choices mid-job when materials do not meet standards. Crews divide tasks on site and finish with thorough cleanup.

They answer calls for quotes the same day, arrive on schedule even for short-notice requests, bill accurately, and keep prices reasonable with clear details. Luke stays reachable by phone or message, Heather assists with scheduling when volume picks up, and the team works across McKinney on weekly cuts plus one-time projects. Reviewers note crews respect occupied homes, work fast on big yards, and confirm satisfaction before final payment.

The listed accounts all rate the service at five stars and repeat praise for on-time arrivals, solid workmanship on maintenance and installs, fair costs, and crews that stay professional while getting results on busy schedules.

“Gi-NORMOUS thanks and props to Luke's Landscape and Maintenance (Luke Truetken) for a job MUCH needed and WELL DONE!!! 👏👏👏 Our yard has "settled" over the 18-1/2 years and no longer drains properly out back or along each side of our home. "LL" put French drains in on each side, reaching partway into back yard, and tied to all down spouts! Also brought in a pallet of St Augustine to sod over my puny non-shade-loving Bermuda, and to patch over the new French drain work. What a difference a month and great craftsmanship makes!!! 👍😎”

“I called Luke to get a quote on trim, clean up and mulch. Luke came out the same day and was very knowledgeable on all the shrubs and trees that I have. I hired Luke and his crew and they came out on a Friday at the time he said they would be there. The work they did was great! I am so happy with the job they did I want and have told everyone. Luke may be young but he is a professional and makes sure the job is done the way it should be. I had a few dead trees around my pool. I had Luke and his crew take out a couple large wax myrtles and replace them with little gems. Luke did not replace that day because the little gems he saw were not nice looking and wanted to wait until the next shipment. Luke came out like he said when they got the new shipment in and planted. They are beautiful!! I would absolutely recommend Luke's Landscape, he and his crew are the best!”

“Luke's Landscape & Maintenance is fantastic! The crews are friendly, careful, and thorough. The billing and invoicing is always accurate and on-time. Luke is always friendly and responsive with any questions or special requests. And, the services they provide are not only top-notch in terms of quality, but a great value. Luke's cuts my grass every week, has trimmed shrubs & bushes for me a couple of times, and this past year his crew hung my outside Christmas lights. They've done a great job with everything I've asked them to do. I highly recommend Luke's!”

“Fantastic company. I can’t say enough great stuff about Luke & his crew. After living in our home for 17 years, we finally decided we’d had it with our front yard. My husband always tried to do it himself, but he’s just too busy. Our neighbors used Luke’s & their yard looks great, so we gave him a call. He was able to fit within our budget. After approving his designs, within a few weeks everything was torn out & started over from scratch. Today it looks absolutely gorgeous. Everyone that comes by says something. I’m finally feeling proud of our drive up appeal. His crew was wonderful. Kept everything clean & respected that we were living there. Such a great company. A 10 our of 10”

“Luke and his crew are wonderful! They showed up and tackled our large yard. It needed heavy tree trimming and extensive shrubbery trimming to get it in shape for summer. He even got me scheduled on short notice since we had a party the next weekend. Our yard has never looked better, and his pricing was great. Very honest and a wonderful job. Luke will do his very best to make your yard look amazing, and he goes the extra mile when needed.”

“Luke and his team did an amazing job on an assortment of landscaping jobs including new trees, sod, and drainage. Luke always returns your calls and his pricing is very transparent and reasonable. We changed the job materials on them mid task and they were great at adjusting to our needs. It is good to know there is still a vendor out there that takes pride in their work and respects their customers.”

“I hired Luke and his group to work on my front yard landscape and new trees at my back yard. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He is always on time and trying to be on top of everything that I need to help me out. His workmanship is absolutely fantastic. I am very satisfied with his work and so glad he is my landscape guy. I would highly recommend Luke for any landscape job.”

“Been using Luke's for my lawn for about 2 years now. They do a great job on my lawn every time! Recently I had them do the stone landscaping around the flower beds and trees. Again they performed amazing work! Did the work very fast and it looks incredible. Very happy with this company and will continue to use for everything!”

“I was desperate to get my yard done before this Thanksgiving and didn’t have an ongoing maintenance crew. I called Luke last Friday and he was able to get his crew at my house on Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. All my shrubs needed trimming and my gardens needed cleaning out. They took out two tiny trees that had sprung up and bagged all the fallen leaves. Mowed and blew front and back yards. Watching his crew was amazing! They walked around my yard talking, then divided up the jobs and went to work. About two hours later they’re packing up and I am in awe! Such a thorough job and very reasonably priced. I will recommend Luke and his crew to anyone that has yard work to be done! 11-25-17”

“I recently had Luke's Landscaping clean, clear and mulch all of my landscape beds. This is a fairly big undertaking as I'm on a large corner lot. They showed up on time, did a fantastic job and the price was right. I was also very impressed with the fact Luke hires local young men from around our area whom he knows and trusts. These guys worked SO hard to get the job done right and when I spoke to them, it was "yes, sir" and "no, sir" and with big smiles. Luke himself is a very hard working young man and is well liked, respected and trusted throughout the McKinney community. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great result from the services they offer.”

“Luke is a busy guy. He told me it would be several weeks, and it was, but the results were well worth the wait! We only talked by phone and e-message. I sent him photos of what I wanted, left markers, and “POOF!!” - I came home one day and the Gnomes had created just what I wanted. I was not only pleased at the work done but also the cleanup done. Everything was top notch. Luke even confirmed that I was happy before he would bill me. Amazing! Oh here’s what all they did: turned 7 years of overgrown bushes into well shaped and manicured ones. Planted 3 crepe myrtles, 2 Japanese maples, and a large Possom Haw Holly. He also gave some advice on future maintenance. Finally, the price was more than reasonable. Great work at a great price — no wonder he’s busy. Thanks, Luke!”

“We have been using Luke's Landscape & Maintenance since we moved to the area in 2014 on the recommendation of our realtor/landlord. We moved across town and kept his service. He's affordable and they do an excellent job making our house look well kept and tidy. While the company is not super fast with requests, they have definitely gotten better with the addition of Heather. They're very popular and very busy, so sometimes that just happens. I just know to ask well in advance :) They are honest and take pride in customer service. Give them a chance. Luke, Heather and the Rest of the Team...Keep Up the Good Work”

“We have used Luke for our lawn maintanence for 3 years now. They are very reliable and consistent! Luke has asked me numerous times if there is anything he can do to make things better for us. I love to support local small businesses and I know that Luke as a young adult has built this company from the ground up and has been very successful. He’s taken all the right steps to better the efficacy of his company!”

“Our Company hired Luke's Landscaping to come clean up our landscaping at our business. They showed up as scheduled and completed the work in no time. We couldn't be happier, it looks fantastic! Luke and his team were extremely professional. We HIGHLY recommend!”

“Luke's landscaping has been my company for about 3 1/2 years now and Ive been very satisfied with the timeliness and quality he's always delivered. I recently hired him to trim trees and bushes and they did a great job. I'd refer him to anyone needing yard , landscape and design maintenance. I believe the owner Luke trukten is a man of integrity and honesty.”

“Had lawn service with another company, prepaid and they didn’t come back to do the job. Called Luke’s and he was there in just a couple days. They did an amazing job and my yard has never looked better! So happy with their customer service. As far as people saying that they don’t communicate, I’ve had instant communication! Top notch service!! Highly recommend to anyone.”

“I recently had Luke's company come out to my house to do a winter clean-up and mulch. They did a great job. They were very professional and worked fast. I will definitely use them again.”

“LUKE IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSIONALS I HAVE EVER USED AS A HOMEOWNER... He is reasonably priced, 100% professional, creative, on time and in budget and best of all a Christian man that truly cares about installing and maintaining your landscaping! Blown away with the landscaping he and his awesome crew planted around my pool and entire backyard. It went from ordinary to extraordinary in 2 days. Do not hesitate to use him for ALL your landscaping projects!!!”

“We called Luke on a recommendation from our neighbor after our lawn guy simply stopped showing up. Luke said he would be by Wednesday morning. We had a little bit of a long night so I didn't even see his text saying he was on his way at 8 AM By the time I woke up at 10 the yard was pristine and I had a message from him saying to reach out to him to pay you for the job completed . I have rarely met anyone who would show up at jobsite without meeting the homeowner complete his agreed-upon task without so much as banging on your door to get the money This kid is honest trustworthy and hard-working 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼”

“I became aware of lukes landscaping through our neighborhood website. He was highly recommended so i thought i would try him. We walked through all that needed to be completed and i requested that we spread the work over a couple of visits. He completed the first visit today and the work was exceptional. I will be using him now for my weekly lawn service in addition to other work needed. Oh yes he is also knowledgeable on trees.”
