Yard Retreat did a wonderful job with a recent fence installation at our home. Kevin and his staff were very professional…from start to finish including the accuracy of his estimate, his timely start of the work, and the hard working & meticulous habits of his crew. Lots of attention to detail throughout, with the quality of materials and workmanship exceeding expectation. They also worked beyond normal hours to keep on schedule in order to achieve the promised job duration. Would highly recommend Kevin and his crew for any outside job around your home.

10/10! Kevin and his Yard Retreat team were professional, punctual, and delivered exactly what I envisioned for a very reasonable cost. They removed >10 yards of earth, properly secured my deck, power washed a wood retaining wall, laid two interlock walkways, replaced a section of fence, redid my front garden, painted my foundation and siding, and installed some outdoor lighting. All of their work was top notch, done on time and on budget! Along the way, Kevin even offered some great options that worked so well with my vision! I can't recommend Yard Retreat highly enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of landscaping projects do you handle most often?

Common requests include fence builds and repairs, deck construction, interlock and stone walkways, and garden refreshes. Smaller exterior improvements—such as steps, soil removal, and touch-up carpentry—are also completed as part of larger projects.

How do estimates and timelines work?

After discussing your goals and site details, you’ll receive a clear written estimate describing scope and expected schedule. Start dates are coordinated with material availability, and timelines are communicated and updated if weather or site conditions require changes.

Can you work within a set budget?

Yes. Projects are planned with material and design options to meet your budget. When helpful, cost-effective alternatives are suggested to maintain quality while controlling overall spend.

Do you handle permits for decks or fences?

Permit needs depend on your municipality and project dimensions. Yard Retreat can help you understand local requirements and provide the documents you may need for an application.

How should I prepare my yard before work starts?

Please clear personal items, furniture, and pets from the work area and ensure access for materials. If specific preparations are needed, these will be noted in your estimate or discussed before the start date.
