Dan and his crew did a fantastic job getting a rock creekbed put in place in my backyard to address stormwater runoff issues. They also put some landscaping in place to make it more eye-catching. The work was done on time and within budget - very reasonable compared to other places that provided estimates. I would definitely recommend their services and will reach out again for future projects.

Dan, Oren, Jacob, Bobby and Aaron did a phenomenal job on our landscaping job! They installed a beautiful block wall on our sloped front yard (see picture), laid landscape rock in our ditch to help prevent further erosion, brought in fill and sod around our concrete where water had washed dirt away at the edge, increased the size of the beds around our trees so they match the drip edge of the trees, doubled the size of a shade garden, refreshed the mulch all the way around the house, ran drain lines to control the downspout and sump pump water and the list goes on.
This would have taken us forever! These guys really hustled, completing this major update in a little over one day. This was money well spent. We will be bringing them back for our next big project idea! MANY THANKS Gordan's Landscaping team!

Five-star rating, for sure, for my front yard make-over by Dan and crew. They put in a three-tiered rock garden that is colorful and so well built. It solves my hillside erosion and decades-long problem of a too-shady front entrance. A backyard French drain also went in to solve a muddy problem there. Professional and pleasant from start to finish. Budget conscious. Highly recommended.

Dan and his crew came out in June to level out a spot in our backyard so we could put in an above ground 18' x 18' pool. When I got back in town to see the outcome, I wasn't entirely pleased as it didn't come to the 20' x 20' circle as I thought we originally intended. However, Dan was kind enough to reach back out upon hearing how unsatisfied I was with it and was willing to make the corrections free of charge, even when I didn't have the paperwork available to show what was originally intended.
He came back last week and made the change. It's still not perfect in that both sides don't quite line up right and the full 20 x 20 space wasn't cleared, but it's much closer to what we needed and will work after some easy personal fixes. I appreciate Dan coming back out to make the project complete. It's too late in the season to get the pool up now, but at least it'll be ready for next year. *Ignore the weeds coming up in the dried dirt spot. I need to kill those. Those grew from the first time Dan came out.*

Dan and his crew did a great job with our project. We had a retaining wall that wasn't built properly originally by a previous homeowner and had sloped down over the years as you can see in the 'before' photo. We also had a sidewalk from the front patio to the driveway that had become severely cracked and broken up over the years before we bought the home, which was a tripping hazard for visitors. Dan worked with me on designs and costs while we discussed the project at my house, and was able to provide a quote on the spot, which was nice, since the other companies I got bids from usually took a few days to hear back from. Dan and his crew showed up on time at 7 every morning for the project, were very friendly, they asked additional questions and were able to provide answers to questions I brought up.
My fiance and I are extremely pleased with how the project turned out and the pricing was very reasonable given some of the other bids received. I appreciate their hard work and definitely recommend.
