They laid down 4x8 wood boards to protect my walkways, made sure nothing was broken, cleaned up after themselves, and they were fast and speedy but with great quality.

They are not completely finished, but so far I would recommend them. They are coming back in the spring to plant some flowers.

Ray and Outside Landscape Group did an exceptional job for us. Communications, design and quality of work were all top notch. We had some drainage challenges that he was very mindful of and he also incorporated what he could from our builder's landscaping. He came with a variety of ideas and was good at accommodating our requests. We worked with another vendor for a pool installation during this same time and that vendor was a disaster. Ray was beyond patient in working around them and getting us out a mud pit as soon as was possible. We found Ray's communications and proactive updates very helpful, and frankly atypical for a contractor. His teams were respectful of our property and keep things clean and orderly. They also showed up when they said they would. His recommended subcontractors also worked out well. Overall, we were thrilled with the outcome and the process to get there. We would recommend highly recommend this company.

Communication

Communication - Ray's communications were excellent overall. He was listened to us, was proactive, followed up. Way better than any other contractors we've worked with to date.

Schedule

Schedule - Ray went above and beyond to work around our pool project delays. I really appreciated it as neither of us had great visibility into the pool contractors schedule, which I'm sure made it hard to Ray to schedule us.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Ray made this project as seamless as it could be. Between the weather and the pool guy, he kept us updated, worked whenever it was possible and completed the job in a much shorter time frame than we would have expected. We really enjoyed working with him and also thought he did a great job.

Areas For Improvement

Areas For Improvement - There were just a couple instances when one plan had been agreed to and something in the topography (for example), caused Ray to change his plans. He proceeded with those new plans without running it past us (i.e. the low brick wall). We usually agreed with the change in plans but would've liked to hear them first and discuss any potential alternatives before he proceeded.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Keeping us updated on the schedule, working around our pool guy

I thought the plans that they presented before we got started were well thought out and thorough. The project management overall was really good. I'd give them an A-.

Outside Landscape Group did everything as planned. They kept to the plan and pretty much kept on schedule. They did backyard renovations. I'd rate them as an A.
