Fantastic company for landscaping. The team were on-premise for just under 2 weeks and the team varied in size between 2 and 5. Nolan was the foreman and always happy to provide ad-hoc updates when I was sticking my nose in. His role also evolved to helping us chase down escapee labradors. The rest of the team were pofessional and pleasant guys and took pride in their work. If you have cranky or nosy neighbors, I'll add they did perform a tidy up at the end of each day. The quality of work and final result far exceeded our expectations. Curb appeal has gone through the roof and we can't wait

Really happy with the work done on our outdoor kitchen, the work was timely and on budget. Steve the foreman was a rock star, he worked with me through the whole project making sure we were on the same page with some of the design features. I am still completely impressed with how they brought a 4X8X3 slab of stone into a very tight working areas and placed it as my counter top, they were very respectful and careful with my property. Will definitely hire them for my next project.

We chose to have Earthworks do our front walkway this summer after seeing their great work on a family member's patio, and we are absolutely thrilled with the result. We've had so many compliments from neighbors and friends! The team was very efficient and professional, and were great at keeping us in the loop throughout the project, which we really appreciate. We'd definitely call them again if we have another landscaping project in the future!
