I asked them to remove several sick shrubs, design and install new shrubbery and an irrigation system, and put down new sod on most of my yard. They kept me informed about scheduling and worked quickly. All of their employees were professional, friendly, and eager to please. There work was great. They even came back after final payment to adjust my irrigation timer and add some additional sod at no cost. I highly recommend them.

They make it simple and automated, so I literally don't even think about it anymore. But I knew their specialty was patios and landscaping, so we reached out when we were ready to do more with our backyard. They've been super booked this summer, but were able to fit us in. The concrete patio they installed looks incredible. We love the space it created for our kids to play and for us to enjoy. It's so nice to have a space outdoors where we can entertain and be proud of how it looks. During the patio process, they let us bring our own drawings and ideas to the table, and guided us according to the best practices they know so well. They went over and above, allowing us to add some additional space and came back to add sod in some places where the yard grade had changed and drainage needed to be adjusted. Both at no extra cost. Cole and his team know their stuff, they're honest, fair, upfront and who I'll call for any landscaping needs.

It may be beneficial for you to be present during the installation to make sure you are getting the results you want. Some subcontractors did a good job, while others did not. I had to hire someone to fix a few of the items done by his subcontractors after the job was completed. Richard is not very detail-oriented, so you will need to stay on top of things and communicate in writing to avoid any misunderstandings, as some details were occasionally forgotten. I work in construction, and finding a good, detail-oriented contractor who treats your job as their own is quite challenging. If you choose to work with Richard, it's important to manage your expectations. I tend to be very detail-oriented, and when I read the other review about him on here I almost did not to hire him. However, after working with him, I wanted to provide more detailed feedback to help determine if he would be the right fit for you. If you are more easygoing and don't prioritize details, you may find that he suits your needs. I would agree with the other reviewer on here that after the job is finished, it may be difficult to get a response if any issues arise. I used Richard for my pergola, fireplace, grill, and bar. I used another company for my pavers which was Chad at Environmental Standards Construction. I would highly recommend Chad and his team. They were great!

Back in February 2021, they built a cedar pergola and Trex patio at our old house--in just seven days. It was so fun to watch their process that I was honestly disappointed when the project wrapped up! Fast forward to April 2025: we brought them back to build a cedar storage shed attached to our house and install a new concrete pathway in the front yard. Even after I changed the design and scope mid-project, they still delivered everything flawlessly in just five days. Once again, it felt like they had just gotten started, and suddenly, it was done--beautifully. Wyatt, Sterling, and Jakob are true craftsmen and genuinely rare finds. They're earnest, collaborative, and clearly take pride in their work. I recommend them without hesitation and am already brainstorming more projects just so I can hire them again.

On Oct 10. the owner posted a response to backtrack on their story to claim they have refunded me "immediately". I HAVE NOT BEEN REFUNDED at all, this business is LYING. After I posted this update, the owner must have determined his false action was not good at deceiving readers of this review and changed his post again. (Screenshots added) Series of events: 1. We had them at our home 2. They provided a free cost estimate 3. We liked the estimate and discussed next steps. They informed us it's to pay $600 to get a completed design. We asked them point blank if paying for the design is going to provide us a complete/finalized design and that it does not require us to move forward with this business. They said yes we will be provided a complete and finalized design and no we will not be required to contract with this business 4. We payed $600 and entered the design phase 5. During the first review of our design we provided them with defects in the design based on the specifications provided and new requests we wanted to add. We were told we would be provided the complete and accurate designs with the defects corrected and the new requests added. 6. They provided a second design iteration which also had design defects which do not align with or meet our original requests. They had failed to incorporate the additional asks which were told would be provided 7. During the design review phase we aligned this business isn't an appropriate service partner for us to contract to build due to concerns we had with their contract regarding payment scheduling, accountability for damaging our personal property, and potential for cost increases. 8. We requested they finalized design plan which had already been paid for. 9. This business, as a result of us not choosing to pay the $10K+ non-refundable to move to the next phase, is refusing to complete the designs we have already paid for

We recently finished a two year journey that took us through discussions with no less than six…read morecontractors on a project to extend our gabled roof from our house over a portion of our patio so we could get more use out of the area. We finally decided to pull the trigger and proceed with the process right at the same time as Covid hit and at the onset of higher wood prices as well. Contractors for home improvement projects like what we wanted to do were in high demand. Ours was a small but complex project (due to several different roof lines) and we found out the pool of contractors was small. Some were upfront with us and said it was more complex than they could handle. A few of the very well known contractors around Frisco acted like they were up to the task of the project but when all said and done they didn't have the knowledge to actually build the specific design that we wanted. We went the extra step to get a structural engineer to prepare a report but unfortunately he turned out to be totally worthless and inept, his design was horrible, and he was a waste of money. He ended up being more of just a "concrete slab guy" rather than a structural engineer. We mistakenly thought we would be better prepared if we had a structural report ready for whatever contractor we picked, but we finally found a contractor that had a competent structural engineer they used that knew what they were doing - read on. Because it took so long to find a contractor we trusted, we had a lot of time to really plan out what we wanted. We were wanting to extend the gable over the patio, but had some specific preferences for the finish out. We wanted certain lighting accents, fans and electric heaters to get more use out of the covered space. We came across Beautiful Backyard Living (BBL) and after seeing the videos they had online, we gave them a call. Austin came out and worked with us during a consult where we talked about our vision and what we wanted to include. We knew it was a challenge, from a design and build out perspective, but Austin was great to work with. He took our concept and ran with it. They created a design that was structurally sound and that fit our vision perfectly. He came up with a visual rendering of the build out and took us through a couple iterations adding his ideas to ours to come up with a great plan. I was impressed with how professional BBL was and the fairness of their terms. NOTE: we even had one contractor that tried to discourage us from actually signing a contract for the work; if your contractor won't agree to the work in writing, run, don't walk away from that company! But with BBL, it was part of the process. Everything was in writing, pricing was agreed to up front, leaving nothing to chance - I really respected that. I'm not sure if our project was as involved as others, but we had carpentry, roofing, brick work, guttering, and electrical sub contractors involved. Austin, was there every step of the way making sure things got done right, corrected any issues to fit the plan, and adjusted as needed. He was working for us, and held his subs to his high standards. Suffice it to say the end product looked great. The brick addition blended in so well, and the carpentry on the covered gable, ceiling and cedar accents looked great. The patio cover extension looked like it was part of the house all along. We highly recommend working with BBL, their work is absolutely stunning!!!
