Fantastic craftsmanship, incredibly organized, efficient and tidy work. Love the outcome, David was fantastic and a joy to work with! 10/2020. I just hired Dave's team and, again, amazing work. As before Dave's eye was perfect and his team was incredibly can-do. A great experience.

We had a backyard project (firepit, lighting, some grass) and David came out to review the work and gave us an estimate in just a few days. They worked with us to resize the project when the estimate contained an error. Work was well done and in good time. Team packed everything in and everything out and kept the yard in great shape. Would use them again.

Worked with Dave Graham at Atlas Landscapes. Dave and his crew did an outstanding job on our back yard. From fabulous design ideas to project implementation with amazing efficiency. They did a landscape overhaul for us which included stone walls, patio, decks, fire pit, fountains, planting, irrigation, etc. They are fantastic builders and do amazing stone work. I could not be more pleased with the experience and finished results and dealing with a company with such integrity! Thank you!

Dave and his crew did an amazing job on our backyard after it was damaged in a landslide. The end result was so much better than what we had before, it almost makes us glad that mother nature stepped in and gave us a blank slate. Dave stepped in and carried out the plans to perfection. Work was quick and efficient, communications were prompt and clear and prices were understandable and fair. And OMG the fountain they designed was beautiful. We just love hanging out in our new garden and get so much more use out of it than we ever did before!

I cannot speak highly enough about Dave Graham and his company Altas Landscapes. He does outstanding work including landscaping, Masonry/Concrete, Decks & Railing. We had an unfinished project in our backyard that was a mess. Dave came over, had great ideas, and his vision made us feel great about the project. His crew is outstanding, executed the project beyond our expectations, and in the time they estimated. They also cleaned up every day so that the project did not disrupt our daily lives. A cannot recommend them highly enough.

David and his team did a project for me which included building a new retaining wall and gate, installing artificial turf, custom steps, a flag stone patio and some plantings. I couldn't be more happy with the entire experience and the quality of their work. David has a lot of experience and what I liked the best about him is that he strikes a great balance of listening to what you want but also providing you with his input and vision. Dave has a great eye for what will work and doesn't try to sell you on the most costly options either.

Dave and his crew did an overhaul of our hardscaping and landscaping 5 years ago. They did an outstanding job with their quality of workmanship and the integrity the crew. We still get compliments to this day of the impeccable stone work done on our walkways. I recently had a small stone slab come unhinged from the corner of the walkway. I called Dave 5 years later not knowing what the outcome would be? Dave listened to my concerns and sent his crew out immediately to repair it. That's a company who stands by their work!
