"Tony did a walk through and described how the job was going to get done. Then sent me a contract. He then did the job and left out a vital aspect of the job. Asked why a step was not performed as we discussed during the walk through of job. He stated, well that part was not in the contract. Also, had to call him many times and file a complaint to the BBB. Once the BBB complaint was filed. He came back to complete another portion of the job he never finished. By the way still trying to figure out how to remedy the issue I now have. Due to the vital aspect that was not in the contract. Thank you Tony, real nice!"

"I wanted to give them a great review, the owner is extremely friendly and patient and had fair prices. They were going to redo my paved patio and install front landscaping. I was away for work when they installed landscaping, I was told about the pavers for edging they were going to use. But when I came home, I saw that the just used leftover bricks from the patio. They put one with a huge rust stain right in front that looked terrible and one brick was cracked on the side part of edging. I Ended up Removing the edging all together and redid it myself with different edging. ( I was also supposed to have bright fuchsia-colored lilies and I had dark red.) Also, the entire outer row of bricks on my patio came loose. The owner called back and sent someone to fix it without any issue. It is ok now but they used yellowish sand when they came back to fix it and the other sand is gray. It is noticeably different, when I removed the patio rug there is a huge line of the hardened sand on the concrete that I cannot seem to get all of it out just yet. The owner also told me he would get me a specific ground cover for a portion of the landscape, and he never did. I was very excited when I hired them and had high hopes that my outside would finally look like it should. While it looks better than it originally did, I feel like they tried to cut some corners on this project that ended up costing me more afterward. I just wish they would have put a little more care into it and really made it a quality work."

Keep your landscape healthy with a steady routine: prune trees and shrubs, mow and edge the lawn, fertilize, aerate, and test the soil every season. Water deeply on a schedule, reseal decks or hardscape when needed, and shore up retaining walls right away. Finish with seasonal chores—mulch beds in spring and winterize tender plants before the first freeze. Following this checklist keeps your yard looking its best all year.
Start by sketching a wish list—shade trees, a patio, maybe a water feature—then set a realistic budget. A landscape pro can walk the yard with you, point out drainage or grading concerns, and turn your ideas into a detailed design. Break the work into phases if needed and lock in a timeline that fits your schedule. With a clear plan and price range, you’ll avoid surprises and keep the project on track.
Landscaping project timelines vary. Planting flowers might wrap up in an afternoon, but building a patio or outdoor kitchen can take several weeks, plus extra time for design approval and material delivery. Add in tasks like grading or utility work, and the calendar stretches further. Map out each phase—design, permits, construction, and cleanup—so you know what to expect and can keep the crew on schedule.
Achieving a refreshed landscape on a limited budget does not demand a huge investment. You can transform your yard with smart, cost-controlled improvements that deliver a striking visual change. A focused budget of under $5,000 supports projects such as installing a simple patio, updating mulching, and adding attractive border plants. This approach not only revitalizes your outdoor space but also optimizes every dollar spent, ensuring an appealing and functional design without overspending.
