The work is good, but was a little excessive.

This company is wonderful ! They've done a number of jobs for us (stone patio, walled garden, lawn restore, tree removal, gutter cleaning, and others) Everything they've ever done has been done the best, very impressive When we asked for small changes they were done immediately They are definitely our "go to" company for outside work

They knocked it out in the span of a single shift, and I came home to find them finishing the clean-up process. Gave me personalized advice for the care of the lawn that kept everything looking great.

The crew was awesome though the reply time to my emails from the office staff was not good when they did reply

Outdoor advantage did a superb job. They removed a large (20x12) fish pond that had been in place for over 30 years. They had to haul away about 6 tons of field stone then create a flat and level surface for the pool. They then seeded and put straw down on the bare area. They showed up on time and finished at the end of the day. Outdoor advantage is my go to company for any landscaping project. I've used them many times and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

Very well, despite two rain delays. Omar and Erwin, the landscapers, were super--professional, hard-working, and most of all, highly skilled in their tradecraft. Have hired The Outdoor Advantage four times now and will do so again, as needed.

He did an excellent job and was very thorough! We will definitely call on him next time it snows. We also shared his name with one of our neighbors.

I am very please with finished sidewalk and the surrounding area. It looks excellent. The workers laid grass sod around the walk to finish it off. It made the finished product look so much better.

A representative came out quickly to review the project and provide an estimate. It took about a month to get the work scheduled. Once scheduled the work was done quickly and professionally.

The two workers did all of the work in the proposal and then went above and beyond the scope of the work. They cleaned up under a large holly tree; edged the grass in the front yard. They were very pleasant and answered any questions that I had. The supervisor was also very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. The only "negative" comment that I may have is I created a diagram of the yard for the workers to follow and that was not sent to the job.

James and his partner were those who did the manual work and they were timely and fantastic. A fair-large project got done with 2 1/2 days labor. Phil was great as the communication between us and made sure to keep within budget. Dave the owner provided our original estimate and made sure that we were happy with our estimate.

Phil and his team did a great job and had great suggestions to how to accomplish what I was looking to do. They took all my downspouts below ground, combined them together including my sump pump and installed pop up emitters. Overall, it is a much better solution than the previous plastic flex pipes that discharged directly on my lawn. Also regraded a few poor drainage areas of the yard. I thought the pricing was reasonable and would hire them again.

Outdoor Advantage was very easy to work with....responsive to e-mail communications and adhered to schedule it promised. I rated the quality as "good" instead of "excellent", because there were some areas of the side of the house (down the back stairs to our basement) which were not as clean as other areas it washed, but for the most part, the job was nicely done. I have used this company before and find it very professional.

The Outdoor Advantage team was great to work with on our patio project. The crew was punctual, professional and paid close attention to details. They answered all our questions, completed work on time and did a great job of cleaning up when done. We are very pleased with our new paver patio.

Very well, looked exactly as I’d imagined when it was done. The crew was very flexible and willing to adapt on the fly as the garden unfolded.

Two different crews on two different days did the work. Both crews were terrific. They were totally professional and responsive, worked extremely hard and their skills/tradecraft were exceptional as was their attention to detail. And their clean-up at the conclusion of both projects was outstanding.

Outdoor Advantage has done 2 jobs for us, one a small stone patio and the other a major front yard landscaping with digging out 2 large tree stumps, and then grading, planting, sod, and a small stone wall. They have just done a tremendous job in all respects, with timely service, great attention to detail, and coming back to fix some small things that made it perfect. Great job!! Will definitely use again, and recommend to all.

Great experience with this company and would totally use them again. I was looking for privacy in my backyard. They made an excellent suggestion and came in with a lower price than others. Like all the reviews say, Phil is a pleasure to work with. He knows his business well and treats his customers well. I needed the job done quickly and he was able to do it in my timeframe. He kept me informed of when the crew would come and checked in with me afterwards to make sure that I was happy with the work. I am looking forward to using The Outdoor Advantage again in the coming years for my yard projects.
