We were looking for options to redo our backyard wood deck. My wife saw the website for Backyard…read moreOasis of Edmond and after reviewing the many posted photos of their work - I contacted Matt Bennett (owner/operator of Backyard Oasis of Edmond to have him come and give us an estimate. Matt is a Veteran - which is a big plus in my mind! Since I was going from "treated" wood to "Trex" material he informed us that our sub-structure would need to be strengthened. Our supports were on a 24" spacing and "Trex" required no more than 12" spacing - so it made clear sense that he needed to redo the support system. For what-ever reasons - Matt lost a couple of his employees during this project and the schedule got stretched. Matt brought in an entire new crew to complete the project - with results that both my wife and myself are very pleased with. Here are a couple of pictures of the completed job:

I want to start by listing some red flags about my experience with Backyard Oasis…read more - I received a quote from Matt via text message stating that he would build my deck for $5000 less than my current quote. - At our first meeting Matt asked us to make all checks out to him because he doesn't have a business bank account yet, even though he said he had been in business for years. - At our first meeting Matt asked if he could buy 10 of our acres for him and his wife. - Matt said the 76 x 16' deck would be done in one week. - At our second meeting Matt brought a "blueprint" made with sharpie on a page of notebook paper that had misspellings. - The first time Matt was on my property he asked if he could come out and shoot guns. I decided to move forward with Backyard Oasis because of the way Matt talked about his subcontractor, Clint. After meeting Clint I was ready to move forward and I cut a check for half of the total amount directly to Matt. The first day of work Clint hit the ground running but materials and tools needed from Matt were late, not ordered or simply and usable so Clint was not able to work at full speed. At one point Matt was delivering the metal for the roof and was walking on it after he haphazardly threw them on the ground. The rooftops are all scratched. Matt was not here very often but after he left each time I was picking up his cigarette butts, lunch and candy bars covered in ants. Due to the lack of communication from Matt, the owner, to Clint, the subcontractor, the deck was not built to the specs on the "blueprint." Matt asked me to pay for the miscommunication and I said no. After that Matt said he would "just go over there and cut the post down" then I asked him to leave my property due to his threat to undo Clint's work. The next day Matt sent me a text saying that he hoped I had not gone behind his back and "advanced Clint any funds." I had not. When the job was close to completion I cut a second check for the final payment to Matt, including taxes to the state. I would not recommend Backyard Oasis to anyone based on the emotional drain it put on my family and Clint's family. There is also Matt's lack of knowledge for building decks. I have a beautiful and structurally sound deck now and wish I could go back in time and hire Clint without Backyard Oasis. Clint is a master carpenter, hard worker (even through the July heat) and creative. Most importantly he was respectful of my time, my property and my family. We all enjoyed getting to know him while he was working on the deck. He's a 10 out of 10. Anyone is welcome to email me if you'd like his contact info. Alchemylake@gmail.com

These gentleman did a great job and their boss is actively engaged on the job…read more I have been looking for a reasonable hopefully inexpensive lawn care company and noticed that the majority the companies in Oklahoma are fairly expensive. ( probably because it freezes so much ) Im a new homeowner and have been graciously trying my best to upkeep my home. However I don't have all the skills I need yet. I received two quotes by other companies and was flabbergasted. I decided to just go ask someone who was receiving lawn care near my neighborhood. These guys were working on a weekend when I was home so I was very much surprised and happy to see that. I asked for a quote and a card. The young gentleman said I could call his boss who was actively working in the neighbors backyard at the time and just leave him a message. The boss called me back that same day in about an hour and asked when would be a good day and time to give me a quote. I explained what I wanted to do. He then explained EVERY thing the front lawn was needing and WHAT I WAS ABLE TO DO MYSELF ( because apparently I have some special little brushes that need hand trimming ) He taught me how to hand trim them if I wanted to do the work myself. The boss was great. He even knew the name of the grass the neighbors had vs mine. I was impressed with the work and the quality. Very nice group. I'm a woman and often feel that I get taken advantage of when it comes to all things "manly". This company was very respectful. Treated me very well, explained everything to me. I hired and I paid them the day they did the job. They offered to arrive and do the work when I was home so that I could oversee the quality. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

My husband found Richard's listing on yelp as we were looking for someone to help us with our yard…read more We just moved in to our new home not too long ago and needed some help. He was quick to respond to my call (and text). He made the process very easy! We scheduled for him to come check out our yard the following day and he had great suggestions right off the bat. You can tell he's extremely knowledgeable just with the consultation. Him and his team came back the next day and did an amazing job with cleaning up our front and backyard making it look brand new again. After the initial clean up was done, he offered to check on our sprinklers since he noticed that there are some areas where the sprinklers didn't seem to reach. As we were checking them out, he knew exactly what needed to be done so we can fix the issues. He came back with a sprinkler specialist the same weekend so they can assess what we need in order to improve our sprinkler system. They did a full sweep of our property, pointed out issues, all while providing us solutions and next steps which was impressive and gave us a peace of mind! From the consultation all the way down to the service, Richard has been extremely professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy! We're very excited to have found him and we can't wait for him to help us improve the yard in our brand new home. If you're looking for someone dependable that knows the ins and outs of yard care, we highly recommend Richard's Lawn Service. Thanks so much, Richard! Can't wait to see how everything's going to look.
