I came to Oak Hill lost on what to plant in my yard and frustrated by landscapers that were with astronomical or weren't plant experts (or both). Immediately Marion jumped in as though she'd been my gardening advisor for years. I shared pictures of my yard, she helped my devise what might go where and which plants needed certain environments....already she knew 100% more than me and the landscaper I had tried before. Not only did she visit my house to consult, she delivered to me and sent me all sorts of ideas and pictures. I am so grateful for her help- and so is my yard!! Highly recommend.

From the moment I contacted Dan, he was helpful and responsive. He listened to what we wanted and was patient with me when I changed my mind from a live edge to a traditional table. We sent a picture of the legs we wanted and he made them! The table was ready exactly when he said it would be, and Carlos was super helpful scheduling delivery. Even the delivery itself was wonderful. Can't say enough about these guys. We love our table. Can't stop looking at it.

Have had nothing but positive experiences with this vendor. They have FANTASTIC "live displays"…read more(aka outdoor showroom) with multiple set ups showing the materials they sell so customers can easily visualize the end product. Patty Silvester is awesome. She has been impressively responsive throughout our shopping experiences. Sent a customer to pick out pavers... he walked out with an almost brand new outdoor kitchen!!! (Although, his wife's eyes looked like they could shoot lasers ha!) that is... until he told her he got EVERYTHING, the grill, mini fridge, cabinetry etc all for $4k!!! (When retail, was about $11k!!) The pavers were great too. And BYL even delivered them down the narrow south end alleyway between abutting brownstones which was rediculously stressful. I thought my jaw was going to fall off. We couldn't even get pick up trucks down there! They brought a forklift on the back of the delivery truck, zipped right down and dropped the pallet EXACTLY where we needed it!!!! Needless to say, very pleased with our experience. Now, had the 2 previous reviewers had more patience, maybe they wouldn't have spent $20-30k on materials but half that AND SCORED SOME! Oh well, their loss - Our gain! We have since gone on to work with BYL for 4 projects. We have gotten to know the team very well. They are responsive to email, pay attention to detail to make sure that nothing is overlooked and when it comes to renovations-- man, even the smallest detail overlooked can have consequences of EPIC proportions. THEY GET IT. THEY GENUINELY CARE FOR THE CUSTOMER AND MAINTAINING A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP. Love these guys and until they give us a reason to not, will keep coming back.
