Chad and his team were awesome. They completed what was thought to be a long, difficult project in under a week. We had a multi-level retaining wall built and could not be more pleased! His team were not only friendly, but they were also knowledgeable in the product and the project. Very professional, and they left the job site as they found it. No debris, no dirt mounds, and a high-quality product. Thanks, Chad!!

Chad was very accommodating to the Landscaper and I in our schedules. He was very professional and friendly and would use him again!!
This was an extremely large job but Chad and Ernie handled it like champs. They tore out the old tile, which created a massive amount of dust, which they minimized with plastic sheeting as best they could. They had to pour a base floor to make it level and then worked their magic in putting down the new floor. Initially Ernie showed us a sample that we liked, but their first try didn't look like what they had shown us, so we explained what we really wanted and they got on their hands and knees to wash the various colors into the floor. Their customer service was exceptional. They always arrived on time, we're professional and friendly throughout the entire project. Now two years later we are still so happy with our low maintenance beautiful floor and get many compliments on it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend A Better Edge to anyone looking to have a unique interior floor put in.

Chad and A Better Edge were amazing. The primary job was to replace a crumbling retaining wall comprised of stacked stone boulders. Other contractors wanted to bring in heavy machinery to remove the old rock and bring in a fresh load of stackable stones, this was expensive and would tear up the lawn. Chad said they could pump concrete via hose or wheel barrow down the hill, and use the existing rock as fill. He saved me a bunch of money, didn't damage the grass at all, and provided a much better finished product. With the savings on the wall we decided to add a back patio to the house and an additional round fire pit patio in the back yard. Every bit of work they did was top notch. Ernie's work on carving the faux-stones out of concrete on the wall was a work of art that greatly exceeded our expectations. Already recommended to co-workers who have hired Chad and also been very happy with the work performed.

Answering service/scheduler was very polite. Made accommodations due to Chad's travel schedule to come to my home and perform a quotation on a Sunday. Chad was early to the appointment and very polite. Quickly reviewed my objective and took measurements of the job site. He worked up a quote. Thoroughly answered my questions. Meeting took < 30 mins total. Not certain that I will proceed with the job due to the $$.

Absolutely first rate, quality work done on time and on budget. I used A BETTER EDGE for another project a few years ago after interviewing several contractors. Chad is very impressive and knows his craft. for my latest project, there was no question and I didn't even need to look for any other bids...I went straight to Chad at A BETTER EDGE! Honesty and integrity are hallmarks of their work, not to mention the very fair pricing. You will not be disappointed!!

IF YOU WANT DECORATIVE CURBING HIRE THESE GUYS! We called and scheduled estimate and the estimator was right on time and provided a rendering right away. The detailed estimate was emailed to me along with the rendering. We scheduled the work and again, the guys were there right on time and the job was finished beautifully - LOVE IT. Professional office staff, everyone super to work with. The "artists" sure knew their stuff!

We had A Better Edge install edging at our home about 8-10 years ago. In preparation for installing artificial grass we had Chad and his crews come back out to help design extending the existing edging out to the front sidewalk. We needed to break the existing edging to extend the new edge to create 2 new rock areas plus pour a new stamped concrete pathway and bench patio. In addition they cleaned our existing edging and stamped concrete patio by the front porch and resealed everything. Due to the weather our turf install took additional time but they had worked with Chad at A Better Edge before so they coordinated all their work together. Chad's crews adapted to the compressed schedule and got the job done. The results are outstanding. I have people stopping or walking by now asking who did the edging work. I am always proud to answer "A Better Edge"! They didn't let us down 8-10 years ago and they tied all the new work in with that for a spectacular result.

The overall job went exceptionally well...on-time, on-schedule, on-budget...and completely as expected. The Crew: The crew was punctual, professional, and friendly throughout the job. The crew was very experienced in this work (some have been with A Better Edge for over a decade)...and seemed to have a single focus...the perfect job! The were on-site for two full days and cleaned up the job site during and after the job. The Proposal: included everything...there were zero hidden issues, charges, or work expansion; there were NO surprises! The Work Performed: exceptional in every regard...wish I had this done a year ago! The Owner: Chad was available at the start, throughout and at the end. There were no issues, but Chad was there to ensure complete satisfaction throughout the project.

The entire project went exceptionally well. Everything was completed as planned -- on schedule, on-budget, and exactly what was discussed and planned for. The crew was on-site for 3 full days of works. The crew was exceptionally professional, committed to a superior job, and maintained a very clean, safe, and organized job site. Execution of the work was clearly well planned and performed to a high standard and with great attention to detail. The owner, Chad, was instrumental to the success of the project. His expert advice added depth to the overall solution without expanding the scope -- meaning, Chad's technical expertise and professionalism identified and eliminated several "short cuts" to ensure the structural integrity of the final solution without increasing cost. (exactly what you expect from a professional) I would bring A Better Edge back to my next project without hesitation and with full confidence of a good deal with exceptional performance!

Concrete edging was poured in our front yard and back yard, approximately 225 linear feet. This is the second house we've had edging done by A Better Edge Landscaping & Lawn & Garden Edging. I would highly recommend edging by A Better Edge Landscaping & Lawn & Garden Edging. The patio slab was subcontracted out and the results were good (not great) and we're happy with the results. The patio is stamped and stained, looks good.

Most recently we had them back to consult on revising our landscaping to accommodate artificial grass. Their ideas were great and matched our ideas and the quote was reasonable. Thus far we haven't had the work done because we're undecided on the artificial grass. Live in Briargate/Pine Creek area and need to be more comfortable that the artificial grass fits the area standards.
Description of Work: Previously had Better Edge borders poured around the yards. The initial borders were poured several years ago and still look great.

Chad, Ernie and crew were so professional and eager to please. I can't say enough about how nice a job they did on our driveway, front sidewalk, patio and side sidewalk. We had cracks, pock marks and other problems from 20 years of use and abuse. Our concrete now looks like it did when our house was new. I highly recommend "A Better Edge"!

It went great! Chad, the owner, came out for the initial estimate then we scheduled the work for a couple weeks later. I cannot recall every single detail as it was almost 10 years ago, but all I know is that I was very pleased with the entire process from beginning to end. I was able to chose from the many stone design options, and went with one that looked like a large rounded corner block (I know that style has a name, I just forget what it was called) and they accented the concrete with 2 or 3 different colors that matched the cultured stone accents we had on the house - and it matched perfectly! Having that nice border just completely changed the appearance of our lawn, our yard just looked so neat and tidy once it was all done!!
