Monica Kirgan

Brilliant Borders did excellent work on a patio upgrade project for us. The most impressive thing (and it shouldn't be but in this day and age it was)--they were true to their word, arrived on time, worked hard each day, and created an updated outdoor space which we love at a very fair price. We definitely would use Brilliant Borders again and highly recommend them. We have also hired them for their monthly weed control offering. They are awesome!!!

Brilliant Boarders Landscaping gets 5+ Stars. Jason observed and discussed ideas for our overgrown landscaping for work around the entire perimeter of our house. We are Extremely happy with the results. The work was thorough and the work was done by experienced personnel. I have to admit, I was surprised by how quickly the process was finished. The results were well above my expectations. Neighbors have All given high praise with some asking for company contact info. You know it's a home run when neighbors are jealous! I Highly Recommend Brilliant Landscaping!

Often times you survey your land and over a period of time there may be some erosion— Brilliant Borders can solve this issue. Especially if you are close to water. Engineers will recommend a good quality landscaping company that could help by constructing a quality retaining wall. In review, the wall seems level with a good set back. The most important thing is the drainage to retard problems in the future. This company offered good specs, were on time, used quality materials and were very professional in taking the soil type and size into consideration. Here’s hoping for good curb appeal improvement once landscaping is complete.

Valentina Huszar

We had a great experience working with Brilliant Borders this spring. We have a very steep yard and needed two retaining walls and a paved patio built. Jason was phenomenal from day one, promptly working through proposals and open to making multiple adjustments. The entire project was very reasonably priced. Their crew completed the work within a few weeks and did an excellent job. We are very happy with the whole experience and would highly recommend Brilliant Borders for any hardscaping projects!

The team displayed a high level of professionalism throughout the entire project. They meticulously designed and constructed our patio, ensuring every detail was attended to, from the layout to the choice of materials. The firepit they built has become a stunning focal point, perfect for gathering with friends and family. Overall, their craftsmanship and attention to detail resulted in a fantastic outdoor space that we absolutely love.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Brilliant Borders help with permits for landscape projects?

For larger builds, the team prepares and submits drawing packages and responds directly to reviewers’ questions; those projects may require city approvals, setbacks and documentation.

How are commercial snow crews dispatched?

Crews are dispatched according to snowfall depth rather than on a fixed schedule.
