As a new homeowner, we can say the landscaping and decking done by Dekorte's (hired by our builder) is excellent. The landscaping crew headed by Stephen were pleasant, and great to deal with - they did incredible work (in inclement weather) - and always had a smile. And Alex running the deck / stairs project was also super helpful and did beautiful work (in inclement weather!). Would highly recommend.

I rarely post reviews, but I simply have to in this case. We selected DeKortes based on recommendation from our pool builder and based on Google reviews and let me tell you we were not disappointed. DeKortes built our entire dream backyard, including fence, grading, retaining wall, interlock, landscaping, sod, glass railing, irrigation and lighting. The team was always on time, professional, respectful of the property, cleaning after each day and hard working all day regardless of the weather (they worked while snowing!). Shane was absolutely a joy to work with. Always keeping us informed

Just recently had my backyard re done by Dekorte's. They came on time on the day, removed all the sod; leveled the entire area and re seeded. They did an excellent job and it only took the morning.
