On its BBB page the company lists landscaping, demolition, excavation, snow plowing, drainage, paving and masonry. It holds 4.8 stars from 33 Google ratings and an A+ BBB grade. A recent customer said Zach, Craig and the team solved a water problem with a drainage plan, explained the whole process and stuck to the timeline. A recent customer described a landscape plan for the front and side of a house using Nellie Stevens, ilex and boxwoods, with cobblestone lining the driveway and ongoing supervision by Zack. A recent customer said Zak and his crew installed new shrubs and planter beds around the house, digging carefully around underground tanks and utility pipes. A recent reviewer described Craig and his son Zac as a pleasure to work with and called the prices very competitive. A 2026 customer said Zac and Craig built a full pool patio with a built-in bbq and outdoor kitchen. A 2025 customer said Craig's crew built a stone patio and rebuilt the driveway.

A 2023 customer said a rented dumpster was delivered on a Sunday. A 2025 customer gave two stars after a patio and retaining wall job priced around $40k. That customer said they were generally happy with the result, but that Craig had a difficult personality, the project required a lot of handholding and some design requests were ignored.
