Excellent!! Team came in and after a brief overview of the job, immediately began to work. The lead kept me posted on progress, with the supervisor and owner stopping by regularly to see how things were progressing. The job was completed on schedule and exactly as i wanted. The quality of work, attention to detail, commitment to task and customer service was outstanding.

I cannot say enough great thing about Exotic Scapes and their work. I put a lot of time into deciding what I wanted and received several quotes for work that needed to be done in my front yard and I chose to go with Exotic Scapes, partially because of their quote but also because I felt that they had my best interest in mind. As i hoped, they were helpful from day 1! I worked with JD and he made sure to advise me on things that i wasn't even aware of and helped me work on the vision I had. All my questions were answered promptly and the job was completed sooner than projected. My yard has given my entire home a face lift and looks amazing!! I would certainly use them again, in fact, I cannot wait until they can do my outdoor kitchen in my backyard!

I would like to take this opportunity to express gratitude and appreciation for the work that Exotic Scapes just performed at my commercial building. Exotic Scapes is very professional, competent and fair. Their workmanship is outstanding and their management is even better. They are competitive on bids, fair with any change orders that occur and thorough in their understanding of the scope of work. I look forward to continuing to build our relationship with them and highly recommend them to any other party seeking high quality paving work for a competitive price.

The crew they sent out was extremely efficient. The job was estimated for one week and they worked hard and got it done. Very nice group of guys too. The turf crew came in a few days later and got that installed in a few hours. We live in a new subdivision. I have watched my neighbors landscapers work. They took several weeks over multiple visits and used lower quality irrigation components. One neighbor already seems to have a big leak or stuck valve. Exotic Scapes will not necessarily be your low bidder, but they are professionals who will carefully design your project and only use the highest quality parts. We worked with Tim Rael and recommend him highly.

I contracted with Exotic Scapes for a fairly complex project in my backyard - including a massive shade structure, outdoor kitchen/bar, travertine decking, sand volleyball court, putting green, basketball court, ~200 plants/trees, sod, etc. Ryan (co-owner) was available every step of the way. When issues came up, Ryan addressed them quickly...He always answered his phone or my texts in a reasonable time frame. When things weren't to my liking or inconsistent with what I expected, Ryan would address my concerns...PLUS, Ryan didn't hold his hand out for money and try to nickle-and-dime me for every change - Ryan was VERY FAIR and REASONABLE. The quality of work was excellent as well...I must admit that I had concerns prior to entering into a contract since I was expecting to spend more than $100,000. Now that work has been completed, I am extremely satisfied with everything. For those of you who value HONESTY, QUALITY, and AVAILABILITY, I would recommend that you at least consider Exotic Scapes for your landscaping project.

Exotic Scapes exceeded our expectations! They designed and installed our entire backyard. We really didn’t know what we wanted to do and they helped every step along the way. They were extremely creative with their design from our BBQ structure to our fountain feature- very aspects was very throughout. They communicated with us throughout the entire process, are very reliable and knowledgeable. A+++ company. A+++ job!

Excellent. Exotci scapes did a fantastic job with the pavers. They even recommended a little pad to put our trash cans on. They removed the big bush quickly and filled the hole so that it didn't look like anything was missing.

Thank you for the review. I believe you may have the wrong company and we are working with our Angie's List rep to correct this error.

Went very well - communication was very good, pricing was in my budget. Team showed up 30 minutes EARLY (I didn't know that was possible), and completed earlier than I expected, even after thoroughly cleaning up! I highly recommend!

I contacted Beverlee through the phone number listed on Angie's List. She was friendly, cordial, professional, and very thorough. She came out to measure the job on a Saturday and was able to organize the crew to come perform the work within 5 days of the initial consultation. The crew themselves were extremely good. They were fast, did an excellent job, and cleaned everything up very well. The job site was left cleaner than when they arrived. The crew consulted us at various stages during the process to discuss options and asked how to proceed. This was on the parts where the pavers bordered existing structures. This was very appreciated since other crews tend to simply make these decisions themselves, based on what is easiest and fastest for them. I'm extremely detail oriented, and I've had to get other landscapers to redo things up to 3 times before I was satisfied. Even scrutinizing the job they did, I cannot find one single thing that I would want done differently. My only 'regret' is that they left too quickly and my wife didn't think to tip them. I really feel that they went over and above with the job they did. I would highly recommend Exotic Scapes, and would not hesitate to hire them again in the future. They did everything right the first time, and their price was very competitive.

Amazing. Best customer service we have every received! We knew we wanted to xeriscape our front yard, but we were not sure what we should do. Tim guided us through the process and gave excellent advice on design elements. From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. Tim and his team were EXTREMELY responsive, on time, friendly and professional. We absolutely love the finished product as do our neighbors. We highly, highly, highly recommend this company. Thank you!
