I appreciated that they have samples of pavers already laid out to help you see how it will look all put together. It helped me narrow down my decisions when we were remodeling our backyard, front patio, and driveway. We also used RCP for turf and rocks. I would say they have pretty competitive prices.

We recently bought our home knowing we wanted to have the backyard redone. It was covered in dyed…read moremulch which was a complete nightmare. When we started looking for vendors, we had several companies come out and got a variety of answers of what was possible or not, and also how long the process would take. They all had delayed response times, and odd requirements that were really off putting. On a whim we reached out to Install It Direct to get yet another option. Man we are glad we went with them. Steve was great and quickly turned around a rendering and captured our vision almost to a T after our first conversation. The shinning star of the entire project was Troy, from day one we knew he was understood our vision and had our best interest in mind with every decision we had to make. He checked in with us regularly, kept us abreast with everything happening and whenever an issue arose (which were all minor and expected) that we were presented with pros/cons for each solution. He made us feel like we were a priority and that he genuinely cared about the outcome. All in all, it was a great experience. We love our new yard and would highly recommend IIT and Troy to anyone. They were able to make our dream backyard come to life.

I am posting this update as a severe safety warning to anyone considering Installing Direct. Since…read moremy initial review, a catastrophic and life-threatening incident has occurred. The fire pit installed by this company exploded into my girlfriend's face. We had an independent professional company come out to inspect the unit and the gas line. Their findings were shocking: the gas connection was completely loose. This negligence allowed gas to build up inside the fire pit structure, which caused it to explode upon ignition. Because of the physical injuries sustained and the absolute gross negligence regarding a gas installation, we are now taking this company to litigation. If you value the safety of your home and your family, stay far away from this business. A "loose connection" on a gas line is not just a mistake--it is a deadly hazard. We are currently in the process of legal action to hold them accountable for the damage and trauma they have caused. Zero stars. Avoid at all costs.

We've worked with Maria and Sauro twice so far…read more Once for them to build a 35ft. x 6ft. wooden fence to separate from our neighbors, the second time to install a 42ft.-long white vinyl scalloped fence out front. On the first job, their team arrived much later than planned but the job was well done and completed on the same day and we were very pleased with the end result. For the second job, they arrived on time, started promptly, and did a terrific job installing that vinyl fence out front. The work was meticulous and the end result shows for it. Their rates are also reasonable in comparison to other contractors in the area, with similar fields of expertise. We will gladly be hiring them again for other projects soon.

They did a tree and stump removal for me. Highly recommended and would do business with them againread more

I contacted Jose for a quote yesterday to which he promptly replied and came out within the hour to provide me a very fair quote for some yard cleanup services.

I will definitely be having Jose come back on a regular basis to maintain my yard.

He spent hours helping us refine our…read moreideas and improve the design, essentially eliminating the need for a separate landscape designer. He never made us feel rushed or pressured. After meeting with several high-pressure landscaping companies, working with Dan was a breath of fresh air. Once the project started, we met Hector, the foreman, along with Tito and Marcos. They are hardworking, genuine people who clearly enjoy what they do. Over the two-week project they removed heavy roots, took down a large tree, prepared the ground, installed plants, created a beautiful rock garden, added a sprinkler system and lighting, and repaired and painted the fences. Our backyard was transformed from a messy "jungle" into a neat, beautiful oasis. One thing that really stood out: after the job was technically finished, Dan and his crew came back early the next morning to reposition two 300-plus-pound rocks so everything was exactly how we wanted it. Thank you, Dan, Hector, Tito, and Marcos.

We already had a design and they made that design a reality. Daniel and his team go above and beyond for their clients. And, that isn't always easy when you're dealing with a client like us. We would change things up at the last second and his team never made us feel bad about that. They did everything they could to make us happy and satisfied. And they stand behind their work. They came back to add extra plants for us and even moved trees if we weren't completely happy with their exact placement. Also, their flagstone work was simply amazing! We would absolutely without hesitation hire DB landscaping again.
