Mention of the professionalism: "The employees of Great Outdoors Landscaping are true professionals" Thank you for some Pretty Awesome Work!!!
Great Outdoors and Brad were great to work with. We had an old rail tie retaining wall that was falling apart and asked him for a concrete wall. He and his team did an amazing job with great attention to detail with precise installation. After the work was done, their cleanup was amazing and left us with a more beautiful yard. There is no doubt that we will be contacting Brad again for more work in the future. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for great landscaping work.
Great Outdoors-Brad worked on my landscape project for a few weeks Nov 2023. His crew worked hard, kept the work area neat and tidy, ran into some issues and discussed possible solutions with me, and completed the job to my total satisfaction. It’s two terraced retaining walls, with stairs, and curves. It’s beautiful. Totally recommend them.
I worked with Brad and Miguel to replace my old rotten retaining wall and they have been simply amazing. I have gotten way more than I expected for the price. My backyard will last a generation. We just finished the wall. We will be adding sod and refreshing the flower beds next week, then new plants next Spring. The last two images show the old timber wall before they removed it.
We would recommend Brad and his team to anyone for their landscaping, yard and concrete needs. Brad reached out right away when we asked for anestimate and was very responsive throughout the entire process. We asked for him to do several different projects: a dog friendly section of the yard, a patio area added on to our existing patio, sod installation and some landscaping. It turned out better than we could have even imagined and our fur babies love their space as well. Thank you so much Brad and team! We appreciate you!!! ♥️
I had a vision for my backyard oasis and Brad and his crew were able to put together what I was envisioning. I had to retaining walls that were rotten and damaged by carpenter ants and wanted it replaced as well. I would refer Great Outdoor for your landscaping needs. Plan on using them next year for my front yard.
Brad and his crew did a great job on our large landscaping projects. Brad was great at communicating with us and making sure the project was beening done to our satisfaction. The members of his crew were friendly and polite. Brad made sure we were satisfied with the work and they did a great job of cleaning up when they were finished. We had two large landscaping beds installed with plants, trees and large boulders, we also had large trees removed, retaining walls built and river rock installed.
My husband and I waited a few years before we had our landscaping completed. We knew our landscaping project was going to be more than just adding a rock boarder. We met with Brad and felt very comfortable with him and moved forward on our project. We extended our lower patio, added a gas fire pit, sitting bench/wall, two - three tiered planters in back of the house. Around the house we added poured concrete curbing with larger river rocks, some grasses and boulders. The crew that worked on our project did an amazing job. They were professional and listened to what we wanted. Brad was available for us if we had any questions and came to our home throughout the project. We are so happy with the outcome of our landscaping project. It looks amazing! We had a few neighbors asking the name of the company that completed our landscaping as they were very impressed as well. I would highly recommend this company for any landscaping project, big or small.
Great Outdoors buried some downspouts for me to help with water accumulating next to the house. Good work. Reasonable quote. Would use them again.
Great work. Done on time and budget. Couldnt have asked for better service.
Great Outdoors Lawn & Landscape did a great job. They were fast, efficient and made quick work of our sod project. Very happy with our results.
This landscaping company is great. Willing to discuss all aspects of my expectations to make sure all my needs were addressed. They paid attention to detail . No hidden costs. I would recommend this fine group of workers for any project you have. I will use them again when I need lawn work performed.
They mow my apartment complex. They do an awful job to keep it simple. Miss stuff all over the place. Every time
Posting for my mom who recently had work done by this company. Brad and his team did a fantastic job! They are very efficient and professional. They handled a big project for me and I am very pleased with everything they did. I would highly recommend Brad and his team to anyone!
We had Brad out to rework the existing landscaping around our house that included removing shrubs, revitalizing a mulch bed with border, completely remodeling another mulch bed retaining wall , and laying sod. We re pleased with every aspect of the work that was done from start to finish and he and his crew were fun to have around!
Brad was awesome to work with. Arrived in a timely manner to go over what we needed done and was able to give us a time table and cost estimate before he left. Once his team arrived to do the work, they completed our job in the time frame he gave us and he walked us through what they did to ensure we were satisfied with the work done. The grading on our front yard turned out amazing! Highly recommend Brad and his team at Great Outdoors Lawn and Landscaping.
I tried to schedule and estimate with them and the first time they were supposed to come out, they never showed. Didnt even bother to reach out to me to let me know why they didnt show until I reached out to them the next day. I then rescheduled a second time for them to come out and again, they didnt show. They gave me an hour and a half window of when they would be coming out but still did not show nor did they call or text me to let me know that they would be running late or that they would not be able to come out at all. Very disappointed.
Brad and team were great to work with. They were able to do all the work that I needed done - retaining wall, sodding, seeding, concrete patio and steps, pergola.
I had reached out to Brad to do a small landscaping job in my yard. The job was done in a timely manner & he kept all promises regarding. I would highly recommend his co!
This crew is professional and the owner is a pleasure to deal with
Brad reached out right away, and work was done in a timely manor. Very pleased with the outcome. Would recommend this company!
We had Great Outdoors L&L do several small and some large landscaping projects (3 trees removed, privacy screen & front bushes replaced, brick edging and replacing mulch with rock). Prices were very reasonable for what we had done. All of our projects were done in an excellent and timely manner. Brad, the owner, is very easy to work with. Once I saw how good the brick edging looked, I asked them to add another area or edging to their busy spring schedule and they were happy to do so. I would highly recommend Brad and his company to anyone with a landscaping project.
Great job I will use them again
Absolutely great work done had 2 concrete sections pour and 2 harder retaining walls along with sod and mulch landscaping with plants! Never had any issues he conversed with me before doing things well priced for excellent work! Couldn t be happier with the final job done! Awesome people to work twitch and thank you for your time
Brad got back to me right away with his estimate and started work within just a few days. Vegitation was cleared, a drainage trench cut/dug, drainage laid and a truckload of dirt put in to fill a ravine. Then sod installed, its looking great. Freindly crew & work was done in a day. Would use them again.
They do amazing work.
We had Brad and his team landscape our entire yard front and back along with putting up a retaining wall. They were fantastic! Very responsive, easy to work with, and very knowledgeable. The cost was also very reasonable and they completed our large project quickly and efficiently. We would recommend them for any landscaping needs.
very reliable and depenable. brads to good to the latino he has! cased his check for a few guys . my new check cashing service is very efficent for all races. mr. anderson does not discrimanate and actually had a few weidos using my new check cashing service lol
Brad and his crew came out and removed our old retaining wall and replaced it in 2 1/2 days. They graded the yard to make it slope correctly for drainage and cleaned everything up when they were done. The new wall looks fantastic! They made sure to not block the alley when they were done each day, so my neighbors could still get to their garage s. In a time where the price for retaining walls is sky rocketing, their quote was very competitive. I will definitely call on Brad again when we re are ready to finish our backyard.
Brad and his team were amazing. They totally transformed our front yard! We have two toddlers and our yard sloped into a steep driveway. Not only did the retaining walls help add major curb appeal, but Brad evaluated what would look the best with also keeping our kids safe! We could not be happier with how our yard turned out. Super fast and professional. Noelle
Excellent work. Fast. Looks great!
They were very efficient, on time, did excellent work. I would recommend to everyone, big or small they can do it all. Workers are very pleasant to work with.
Was given several dates and times to come out and give estimate for Spring 2022 project. Never showed, confirmed, or followed up for scheduled date/times to look at and estimate project.
Couldnt be happier with how our patio turned out. Brad and company do excellent work fairly and for a solid price, with great professional communication and recommendations. Highly recommended.
Brad and his crew have done two different landscaping jobs for us. The first was a beautiful retaining wall and his crews did an amazing job. The second was a patio/planter and a stone path. All are excellent, done with care and professionalism and priced fairly. I would recommend Great Outdoors to anyone!
Brad and his crew did a beautiful job of replacing a retaining wall at my house. He and his staff were quick, precise and listened to my requests. I would definitely recommend them for any of your landscaping needs.
Everything from beginning to end was above and beyond our expectations. We had a huge job and everything turned out PERFECT!! Plants, mulch, grading, trees and a fire pit. 100% recommend!!!!
I can t say enough great things about Brad and his team! They are very dedicated and hard working. Brad is always available day or night when you need to talk thru designs, project status, etc. I had Great Outdoors do a complete transformation of my entire backyard to include a large retaining wall, new concrete patio with stone fire pit and sod/mulch. I also contracted Brad and his team for a new concrete driveway and retaining wall in my front yard. It all looks amazing and I am very happy with all the work!! Brad is a no pressure guy! He s flexible with planning and design. Open minded to all ideas. I will use Great Outdoors for all future projects. Highly recommended crew!!
They the worst snow removal ever
Dont know
The landscaping job needed at my property was not a small undertaking. Brad and his crew were efficient and professional in attacking the task. Brad was careful to call with any questions or concerns. He kept me informed during the whole process and is someone I would use again.
This is the second year in a row weve worked with Great Outdoors Lawn & Landscape. From beginning to end Brad and crew were very professional in all aspects of our front and backyard projects. The quality of work they provide is top notch and would recommend to anyone looking for a landscaper.
Thank you Great Outdoors Lawn and Landscaping for making over our landscaping. We are repeat customers and they always do an amazing job. We would highly recommend them for any of your outdoor projects.
Highly recommend great outdoors for any of your projects. Always there to help you a long the way .honest reliable. Greg j.
Outside of playing phone tag a couple times, Brad was very easy to work with. My wife and I are very happy with the work they did for us. The craftsmanship of the work is excellent. Every task was done with care and professionalism. I would highly recommend Brad and his crew to anyone who doesnt mind coordinating over text.
we had a rock wall next to our driveway that was failing we had Brad come out and look at what we needed done he bit it at a very very fair price and then had his crew come out and do the job at turned out excellent couldnt ask for a better job
Brad and his staff have completed many projects for me over the past several years, both at my business and residence. His prices are reasonable and his people do excellent work. Routine lawn work or complicated design work, his company does outstanding residential and commercial work. I will continue to use them as often as I come up with projects.
Project was priced right and the job was done fast. Will refer others to Brad and his team!
We have used Brad and his company several times in the past year and have been more than satisfied each time. The workers are professional and work hard to satisfy our requests. His prices are more than reasonable and he is always willing to do whatever project we need. As the years go by, and our property becomes more difficult for us to handle, we definitely plan on using his services more and more.
Brad and his crew are the best. We had a pretty big cleanup landscape job..lots of overgrown weeds, dead trees, etc. Brad and his crew turned our little wilderness into a groomed, pristine looking yard in one day. This company is a trusted group of people. They were professional, timely, and thorough. We are very pleased and highly recommend Brad and his crew.
Great outdoors does great work and goes above on customer service. Thank you for your guys hard work!
I use Great Outdoors for contract mowing, special projects, and snow removal. Brad is always happy to meet and build projects around my scope and budgets. Always happy to go the extra mile and provide quality one on one service. While this company continue to grow Brad holds to his foundation of customer service and loyalty.
Brad was great to work with on my yard issues that were causing some water issues in my basement!! His employees were so nice and quick!! Communication was amazing!! I highly recommend Great Outdoors Lawn and Landscape for all your lawn needs!!
Brad and his crew did a great job on building a retaining wall and laying sod at our house. He was willing to work on our schedule which required several trips to our house. They did a good job cleaning up. I would recommend them.
I had them tear out a patio and retaining wall that were falling apart, cut down a tree, and grind away 2 stumps. Told them I wanted a simple low maintenance patio that looks nice and left the majority of the design up to them as Im terrible at this stuff and they absolutely nailed it. I wish I took a picture of the old patio so you could tell the difference.
These guys did an amazing job on my retaining walls. The workers were very nice and cleaned up after the project was done. Im very pleased with the attention to detail put into this job. The neighbors have all commented on how beautiful it looks as well. I would highly recommend this company for future lawn/landscaping needs.
They might do good work (we dont know yet) but their customer service is terrible. They are supposed to be out working on our house and have put my wife off several times. She has wasted her time waiting around the house all day on them, they dont call back about half the time and they dont meet their timelines. As of right now we are very dissatisfied customers and if we could get our down payment back we would.
We contacted Brad after he had done some great patio and lawn work on a few friends properties, and he came highly recommended by them. We are very glad we did! Brad completed a paver patio, new wooden fence, and some other fencing work for us. A few things that impressed us in particular: We are very happy with the quality of the work. Brad stopped by after one of the work days, and wasnt completely satisfied with the sloping near one of the patio edges. Before we even said anything (or even noticed the issue), he apologized for the mistake, and said it would be fixed the next day. It was fixed 24 hours later. Brad was great at communicating with us throughout the process. With a lot of rain early in the spring season, his teams schedule was understandably shifting often. He kept in communication about how a rainy day was affecting his teams schedule and when he expected to be out completing different parts of the project. He also was great at working directly with us as we mulled through paver options and what might work best. His team was professional, courteous, and cleaned up after themselves each day. Their attention to detail on some of the fence work was definitely above and beyond what would have satisfied our agreement; they were clearly looking to make sure they did a good job. After the project was done, Brad came over as part of a final payment to make sure we were satisfied with the work. Id recommend Brads team for your future outdoor projects!
The crew did a great job. Very friendly and professional. The retaining wall was done earlier than expected and looks great. I was referred by a friend and I would refer them again. Thanks guys!
Brad and his crew has done multiple landscape projects for me over a number of years and has always done quality work at a fair price.
Ive known Brad for many years and very aware of his work ethic. So calling him to do the work in my yard was a no brainer. Several years ago my retaining wall collapsed in the back yard from so much rain. Brad and his crew got right out and replaced the wall to include fixing my damaged yard. At that time I had them install a patio since I didnt have one in the back yard and to clean up an out of control flower/bush area. His crew came out and did a fantastic job! About 2 years later I had him come back and expand on my current back yard patio. It was the same professional job that was done previous. The crew always cleaned up after their selves and were respectful of my place. That alone is hard to find now a days.
Brad came and met with me on my project multiple times and had many ideas. I am not a visionary so I tried to convey my ideas to him and he helped them come to life. I had water coming into my basement after each heavy rain and some re-grading of my lawn miraculously fixed the problem. The team buried my downspouts, added a small retaining wall, and removed sod in preparation for landscape edging to be poured. I was in no hurry for my project to be completed but when Brad called saying they were ready, the project was completed within the week. Thanks so much for your hard work Brad and the team.
In the past, my husband and I always did our landscaping projects on our own, however, after moving into a new house, we had a big project that we knew we needed professionals to complete. We were nervous to hire a company for this big of a project, so after meeting with many companies, we chose to go with Brad at Great Outdoors, and we are so glad we did! He and his workers were extremely helping and flexible in making our backyard exactly what we wanted. They were very reliable and always there when we needed them. I especially appreciated that at the end of the project, before we paid our last installment, Brad came out one last time to really be sure that we were happy with everything. They left no mess behind and instead, a gorgeous patio and lawn. We couldnt be happier with their work!
