Michael Backes was one of 3 vendors that we asked to quote reworking an existing stone patio and adding another stone surface as well as finishing a stone walkway that we had started to build. My wife swears that he could see the vision that she had for the back yard.

He gave us a reasonable quote for the work and a reasonable window to start work. We accepted the quote.

Michael and his PM, AJ, came onsite we talked over the job and AJ came back the next day with equipment and material ready to start. Overall it took 5 days to complete the work - including some extra work that we requested.

Overall, I can't say enough positive things about Backes Landscaping. 5 for Quality, 5 for doing what they said that they would. Would I use them again? Yes...

Highly recommend Michael and his team for any project. We worked with him from out of state to install side and backyard landscaping which included drip irrigation, rocks, boulders, stepping stones, grass, bushes, and room for us to install our own flower bed. Being new to the area his team was super helpful with explaining irrigation. I have worked with many landscapers professionally in the past and Michael and his team are the best!

Backes Landscaping does beautiful work and if you are not happy, will keep moving a rock until you are satisfied. To top it off they are very fair and reasonably priced.
