We looked at several companies to do our very small courtyard. One company gave us an extremely high price and would not respond to calls about what the work would involve. They just gave us a price with no details. Graham (with Great Outdoors) came over and gave us a very professional and detailed plan for the work we wanted done. There were a couple of minor changes that were done with no increase in the final price. We thought we would get on a schedule for maybe mid January, but he had an opening the suited us just fine and the work was completed within a couple of days of contract signing. The finished product exceeded our expectations.

Graham is THE BEST! He solved a problem I could not figure out, on the spot, and then gave me a fair estimate. He showed up on time to complete the job and transformed our backyard. I cannot recommend his enough!

10 out of 5 stars! No, seriously, I don't have enough words to describe the absolutely stunning landscape paradise that Graham and team created. He listened to what I wanted, added his own flare and came up with the perfect design for my backyard. The crew was incredibly professional and talented. Execution was top-notch! I would recommend them over and over again.

I had some xeriscape done by them a couple years ago. What was sold to me was completely not accurate and I ended up having to deal with even more weeds and eventually had to get the whole thing redone by someone else. Mind you this was a project for over 10k and when I brought up the problem that the weeds are still coming through the landscape fabric the owner just responded with “I still need to spray the backyard even with landscaping fabric. “ the results were very disappointing and not an accurate reflection of what was promised initially.

The Great Outdoors implemented a professionally designed landscape that included retaining walls, paver-based patio, paver pathways, raised garden beds, fire pit area, lawn cobble edging and other hard-scape features. They successfully planted trees, shrubs, perennials and ground covers and completely transformed our back yard with their high quality workmanship. Graham's crew integrated seamlessly with lighting, electrical and irrigation subcontractors as they collaborated to realize our project's design goals We are delighted with their efforts and results and highly recommend them for your project(s) needs, large or small. The Great Outdoors provides exceptional services at reasonable prices. We are highly satisfied!
