We hired Eastern Sky to replace a dated and poorly designed patio surrounding an inground pool. We could not have had a better experience! Chad listened to our needs and created a design that transformed our outside living space. He has an outstanding crew that works efficiently and is focused on high quality installation. I can strongly recommend Easter Sky as an outstanding and quality driven contractor.

Where do I even begin? We could not be pleased with every single aspect of our patio project! Chad and Lindsey are excellent to work with. This was our first major project with our home and Chad put our vision to life. He and his whole crew were so efficient, arrived on time and were always reliable. They did fantastic and high quality work! I ended up adding several options on as the project progressed and I am SO glad I did.
The landscaping and lighting are top notch and we relied on Chads expertise in this area to choose the entire design of the landscape/plants. I still can't believe this is our home! You can not go wrong with inviting Eastern Sky Landscaping in to make your back yard dreams a reality!

Chad and his crew were very professional and timely. We couldn't have been happier with the results.the LED lights surrounding made an awesome difference. We love the sound of the waterfalls while sitting in front of the fireplace. I would highly, highly recommend Eastern Sky for any of your landscaping needs.
