Backyard Living, LLC

I had a wonderful experience with Backyard Living. They built an absolutely beautiful deck for me. The quality is amazing. Also they were very responsive, answered all questions and took care of everything from start to finish. Even my township workers commented on how friendly and pleasant they all are (since they applied for my permits for me). Great work and great people - I highly recommend them.

I recently had a patio installed by Mel & Backyard Living, and I am thrilled with the final result! The team was professional, efficient, and friendly throughout the entire process, from the initial consultation to the final clean-up. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences and came up with a design that perfectly suited my backyard space. The installation was completed in a timely manner, and the quality of workmanship was exceptional. I have received so many compliments from friends and family on how beautiful and functional my new patio is. I would highly recommend Mel & Backyard Living to anyone looking for a high-quality patio installation. Thank you for the excellent work!

Professional, respectful, high quality, Great customer relations , very hard working crew. Highly recomened them.

Backyard Living were dependable and did a great job on our deck. They gave us a very competitive price. We would use them again, and recommend them.

We replaced an elevated wood deck with a composite deck. Half of the new deck is screened with a peaked roof. We called four contractors for this project. Two failed to bid. Of the two estimates we received, Backyard Livingâ s matched our ideas exactly and was more competitive. The deck looks great, and it is square, plumb, level, and rock solid. The project was completed on schedule and in budget. Mel and the crew came on time, worked steadily all day, and cleaned up every night. They treated my family and property with respect. We highly recommend them for this type of work.

Above and beyond what we expected ! Melvin and every person who was involved with this project was extremely professional !

Our old deck was falling apart and Mel came and replaced it with a bigger improved deck of composite for a very fair price. It came out great. Would hire them again.

Mel and his crew completed our deck yesterday and I'm glad to report complete satisfaction. They are punctual, proficient and professional and the deck could support a herd of elephants. If you seek quality and attention to detail, call this contractor first.

I also talked with and got estimates from a few other professionals and also considered having a very skillful handyman do the job. When Mel came to do the estimate, he immediately identified several important issues both in terms of how the previous (now rotting) deck had been constructed and my design for the new deck. Clearly, I wanted to hire someone with his eye for detail! His work was timely and attentive to detail. He noticed some uprights and a crossbeam that needed to be replaced or moved; these had not been included in his estimate. He did not charge extra for these items. He moved the steps to protect a rose bush, adding two additional steps; he did not charge extra. I would hire Mel for any other job within his competency. (Thank you, Mel!!!) Oh, and yes, a pleasure to have him and his men on the job.

They work so hard and our deck is perfect. We are very pleased and delighted with the finished project. From start to finish all of our questions were answered in a timely fashion and their work is perfect in every way. I will highly recommend them to anyone one who is doing any kind of building. Mel and his team are awesome.

Mel was a pleasure to work with! We were looking at replacing our deck for three years, and when we finally made the decision to move forward, Backyard Living made our final decision very easy. Mel's ideas with the color selection, the deck design, and the lighting selection, made the vision of our backyard living space come alive! We made our final decision in mid December 2018, and because of the time of year, a space in Mel's schedule, and the nice Winter weather, Mel started a week later. Mel handled the PA1 call, and the appropriate permits and inspections. When Spring 2019 arrived, Mel and Ben were back to complete the final grading and seeding. From start to finish, everything went very smoothly. Our final deck design consisted of TimberTech Tropical decking and facia, and Westbury aluminum railing with the Magena Star Ornamental Post Cap Lighting. Our deck is gorgeous during the day, and sparkles during the night! We are extremely pleased with Backyard Living's work, and would recommend them to anyone interested in a deck project!

Work and clean up in an timely manner was well appreciated. Answered all questions both on phone and on site. Thank- you for the NICE DECK !! Recommend them to anyone who wants deck work done.

Great work. Professional and courteous. Workmanship and quality above what I was expecting.

Good work.

Great guys. Love the deck!

Great guys! Very trustworthy! I would recommend to a family member!

Excellent duo. Mel finished our composite deck project in Nov/Dec way ahead of schedule (originally scheduled for Jan) . Job was very well done. He was even patient with us when we decided to change our post lights. They cleaned up well after the job was done. Reasonable pricing.

What a great couple of guys. Exceptional workmanship, pleasant, informative. Gave me everything I was looking and hoping for. Would recommend backyard living to everyone.

Mel is easy to work with. He listened to my questions and made suggestions. He did more than I originally requested. His price was very reasonable and he got the job finished beautifully in an amazingly short time. I am very pleased and would recommend Back Yard Living to anyone. My tree guy even commented on their professionalism when he saw the equipment and some of material to be used.

Backyard Living did a wonderful job with our pacer patio! I appreciated Mel's suggestions for how to reduce costs & keep within budget, as well as his design ideas to improve the look. We are very pleased with overall service, timeliness & how fast the project was completed!!

Mel and his team did a great job on our patio. Their work ethic and quality of their work were very impressive. Mel also provided helpful advice on paver and wall ideas for our patio.

Worked around the rain did a nice job. Kept me informed because of the weather conditions
