Joe and his entire team did a masterful hardscaping/landscaping job this past summer that we are so appreciative of. We had Joe come over to view the potential project and he provided an excellent vision of how it could be accomplished, giving us options to do as little or as much as we wanted. We went all-in, and they delivered. Our place went from pretty drab to fabulous. We could not be happier. It was a large project with some challenging slopes that they solved with their wealth of experience and pure competence. Whenever I had questions, Joe was happy to provide insight on how and why. The team was particularly mindful of cleaning up daily and they all got after their job each day. You can tell when a team works well together because they anticipate what is needed next and get it done without delay. They were on time like clockwork every day too (this is not a given with some businesses). The outcome is a testament to their professionalism and expertise. We provide our strongest possible recommendation for Distinguished Landscapes. So glad to have picked the right team for our property upgrade, we know they raised the curb appeal 100%. We will not go anywhere else for any future projects.
Joe and his crew did an amazing job with our backyard. They were all very friendly and hardworking. He consistently communicated with us, and never hesitated to answer any questions we had during the process. He took our vision and made our pool/backyard into a beautiful space we are going to spend a lot of time in! We highly recommend working with them.
Distinguished Landscapes-Joe and his crew didn’t disappoint. There were a couple of unexpected complications but Joe didn’t hesitate, he put his head down and got the job done on time. The design? Spot-on-he took our vision and “etched” it in stone. And Joe? Down-to-earth and communicated with us every step of the way. Five stars, hands down-hire him before he books solid.
Joe was awesome and his team did an excellent job with our front and back yard. We’ve worked with several other landscapers in the area and our only regret is we didn’t call distinguished landscapes first! They are the best in the area hands down. I will only use them from now on. Joe is extremely professional and highly knowledgeable about all things landscaping. He went above and beyond helping us find our vision for our landscaping and with answering questions about our yard unrelated to what he was working on. He was there for our project from start to finish, and it was refreshing to see his hands on approach to running his business.
Joe and his team were amazing and did a fabulous job! We realized we had serious backyard drainage issues shortly after we moved in. Joe quickly assessed the problem and suggested a solution. We wound up having him do some additional landscaping and add a stepping stone path in the backyard. He communicated well throughout the process, he was incredibly professional and knowledgeable about everything. He listened to what we wanted and quickly understood our vision. The finished product is gorgeous and the drainage problem was corrected. Everything was on time and ahead of schedule. Distinguished Landscapes is the best and we are already planning another project in the future.
