Customer Reviews
Joey Couling
We had an extremely disappointing experience with Bay Maples and the owner, Alan. They installed a greywater system in our new home, but it has never worked properly. Despite reaching out repeatedly for over six months, they refused to come and inspect or fix the issues.
We ultimately paid other professionals to assess the system, only to discover it was poorly and dangerously installed—with disconnected and missing parts, loose fittings, and exposed wiring. It’s clear they lack the expertise to properly install greywater systems, and the result has been both costly and heartbreaking.
Do not hire this company for greywater work. We would never use them again or recommend them to anyone.
Elsa Manco
The designer incorporated our ideas into the blueprint with minor adjustments. We were very satisfied with the backyard design. We wished that we had a 3D rendering of the blueprint as we weren't good visualizing the final garden. Workers were courteous and clean. Alan was good at answering all our questions before, during and after the project. He modified and/or added details as a response to our concerns. The result is a beautiful, professional-looking, and earth friendly backyard.
We just had our first maintenance visit before the rains, Aiden left the backyard looking great.
PD We were happily surprised at the amount we got back from the landscape rebate program.
Thank you, Alan and his team.

Bay Maples was able to take my modern mantle design and make it a stunning reality. Alan and his crew worked with me in their shop as well as on the job site. They took the time to insure all the details were going to work. My clients are very happy with the results. We went back and had a custom back plate made for a wall mounted wine opener, it's a huge hit at parties. I'll be working with Bay Maple's again, they are a wonderful company.
