"Had the opportunity to experience Lilco's work on several projects. These guys always had a professional attitude and took the time for all preparations and quality control. They did not leave a mess or unwarranted damages like so many fly-by-night contractors tend to do. They even magnet swept driveways for screws/nails whenever they finished loading out for the night. The owner is always up front about any costs, with no hidden charges to get the jobs done."

"I had an old pond in my yard that hadnâ t been maintained in 10 years. My wife and I didnâ t know what to do with it we wanted to just get rid of it. Matt and has crew came in and redid the entire project putting in a waterfall and some cool looking koi fish. My wife and I sit out there at the table next to the pond and our flower garden that they also redid every night during the summer for dinner! I highly recommend him and his company to anyone looking to redo their outdoor living space."
