His creativity and professionalism made the planning process easy and exciting. The team, led by Youssef, demoed the deck and built a stunning paver patio with lights, pergola, and walkway. They kept the area tidy, worked hard every day, and were always polite and considerate. The final result is beyond anything I expected. I'm so grateful for their work and highly recommend them to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space.

We recently hired Eric Kowalski and his company, Earth Concepts LLC, to replace a seawall, replace…read moreand enlarge walkways and patios, and create terraced planting beds on our property. The job was begun with great energy and the actual hardscape is acceptable. We did, however, experience several problems which appeared to be the result of Eric leaving the state, with multiple week long absences while work was underway leaving inadequate supervision. At one point our job was interrupted so that Eric and his crew could do another nearby job despite Eric's initial assurances that he would have his crew dedicated to our job from start to finish. There was improper attention paid to landscape grading, which resulted in the height of some of the concrete being raised in order to properly cover the base layer of stones under our limestone slabs. This change, in turn, negatively affected the transition to two separate sets of stone stairs which had been previously laid. Lack of attention to proper grading also played a factor in severe drainage issues which became evident after job completion. Multiple passages with heavy machinery carrying heavy loads over inadequately protected ground created a shallow bowl shape which was not corrected prior to laying new sod. Water was unable to drain from the heavily compacted soil and pooled in the "bowl". To make things worse, our gutter and downspout drainage system was not adequately protected from heavy machinery being driven over; nor were all the damaged drainage pipes replaced and connected. This, combined with the bowl shape that was created by the heavy machinery, resulted in a serious drainage problem. The drainage was so poor that the grass in the affected area could no longer be cut due to how boggy the soil became, and even our neighbor had difficulty cutting their grass near the property line due to excessive water accumulation. Prior to commencement of the job our drainage system was independently evaluated and found to be in good working order. The existing condition and location of our underground drainage pipes was discussed with Eric prior to beginning our project. After project completion Eric was advised of drainage issues and sent out a crew who only partially corrected the problem. I contacted Eric again advising him that we still had a significant drainage issue and he responded that he would stop by to take a look. We currently live in the same neighborhood making that a fairly easy task. Two weeks passed without any contact from him. My husband and I wound up hiring another company to fix the numerous problems Eric and his crew left us with, having arrived at the conclusion that they were unable and/or unwilling to fix the problems. We spent $4000 to fix their unfinished work. As if all this wasn't enough, upon learning that we had hired another company to fix these multiple issues Eric responded by informing me that "Now that another company has modified our work all warranties are void".

Sad to say but I cannot recommend this company at all. We had an appointment for them to come out to my property to see my excavation project on Monday, 8/19/24, at 4 pm. I rushed home from work to be there on time to meet them at 4:00 pm and they were a no-call, no-show. I called them at 4:05 to check and see if they were on their way and left a message. No call back. I called them the next day to find out what was going on and left a message. Still, they did not call back. I called a 3rd and final time a couple of days later, and I have still not heard from TB Excavation. When I scheduled the appointment with them, I spoke with Vince Snyder, who does estimates, and everything seemed cool, and they sounded very on the ball and professional. But after blowing me off and not returning my calls I am appalled and feel disrespected. They wasted my time and energy. If that's how they do business, forget it! That is NOT someone you want to hire!

Great Outdoors never lets me down!…read more Cesar, Jorge, and Alonso removed grass netting on an acre that didn't take due to the drought and the company who installed it, didn't bother to return my call. They mowed the location and trails afterwards. It was a massive job! Under my large deck, Cesar, Jorge, and Alonso installed chicken wiring and trimmed my shrubs. Brandon and Fernando handled fall clean up on two acres saving me hours of leaf blowing. Most recently, Cesar and Alonso removed a 20' spruce, installed a 10' black spruce, and mulched my beds. I will definitely be scheduling work in the spring. The Great Outdoors staff are a hard working TEAM!

I strongly advise potential customers to stay far away from Great Outdoors…read more Great Outdoors failed to complete the contracted scope of fall cleanup at our home, yet attempted to charge an arbitrarily high price for extremely limited and poor-quality work. Large portions of the agreed-upon cleanup were not performed at all. More concerning, the company later claimed credit for work that I personally completed myself, such as clearing one of our garden beds. They continue to assert that services were performed that demonstrably were not. Despite the minimal work completed, Great Outdoors is attempting to charge nearly $400 for what amounted to cutting back several hydrangea bushes--not even proper pruning--and little else. This charge is wildly disproportionate to the work actually done and was justified after the fact with unsupported labor claims. In addition to inaccurate and deceptive billing practices, communication was inconsistent, responses were delayed or evasive, and scheduling services was difficult throughout the process. Based on my experience, Great Outdoors' billing practices lack transparency, and their representations about work performed cannot be relied upon. I would not recommend this company to anyone seeking honest, professional landscaping services.
