No response to request for quote. Note: no work was done since the business did not respond so this is only a review of responsiveness and not quality or cost of work.

After waiting 11 months for Chris to complete the work, with repeated phone contacts requesting the work to get completed or return the money, we had to hire an attorney to get Chris to return our 50% deposit that was submitted on May 3, 2018. Admittedly, there was significant rain last year to warrant a delay in the work but 11.5 months is unreasonable, especially after promising us we were "first on the list in 2019". Chris quit answering our calls and ignored our requests to return our deposit after his last returned call in February, 2019.

I can’t believe I didn’t provide a review for the work Yanton’s did. Chris and his team were top notch. Absolutely no complaints, no problems, and he is a fantastic person to work with and he communicates with clarity, timeliness, and in layman’s terms.

All went very well once they started. They started a few weeks later than expected due to rain. Once they started my project, it is the only project they worked on. We had one rainy day but, they completed the work in 7 business days. It looks great (they designed it and I picked out pavers). They really went above and beyond to put the work area back as it was. They greatly improved the slope of the yard (it was allowing water to pool up by the house). They had an eye for detail and improving some drainage issues and critters. I was very comfortable with the work crew. They were careful with the prep work and, I expect the new patio/deck to last a long while without issues.

We got a 350 paver patio, firepit and seat wall in our back yard. We also had Chris and team fill in an empty area with weed barrier and creek jack (stone). We signed in July, and was told the calendar had us pointing to an October installation. With a very rainy fall, Chris's team kept getting delayed, but Chris did a great job communicating and discussing status with us. Winter arrived, and we didn't get installed until March, but again, Chris kept us in the loop, and I can't really blame him for the weather. Chris has a large backlog of work because of the quality, care, and craftsmanship of his work. He went above and beyond (adjusted some gutters for us, as well as added a pad of concrete at the bottom of our deck stairs to ensure we were setup correctly). If you want a paver patio, walkway, retaining walls, etc.. done right the first time, call Yanton's, they will do it right. We couldn't be more pleased with the patio.

Chris and his team were very professional. They were hard-working and efficient and when faced with a setback, hustled to resolve it and finish on time. Cleanup was well done including reparations to my lawn where needed. The finished product looks great and is just as I had requested. I highly recommend Yanton's and will definitely be hiring them for my future hardscaping projects.

Chris and his team did an awesome job! The outcome was better than I pictured when I hired them. I had 6 contractors quote the project; there were a couple that came in cheaper but didn't have the credentials that Yanton's did. There was a wait to get the project started, but I think that is because of Yanton's reputation, putting them in high demand. The overall project took about 5 days, and they stayed very busy the whole time and took care to not destroy the rest of my yard or belongings. Chris was very honest when making suggestions in regards to quality, looks and costs. I would definitely rehire and recommend.

We could not be happier with Yanton's Outdoor Living. We love our new backyard, it is a complete transformation! Chris is a very professional contractor and a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly resourceful and patient when it came to picking all the materials. His attention to detail is top notch. His crew was all very professional. We received compliments from our neighbors about their work ethic. We would use Yanton's again in a heartbeat.

Chris was awesome, easily the best contractor I have worked with, this is the 2nd job I have done with him and he has been nothing but professional, responsive and does great work. HIs pricing has always been very competitive if not the lowest and the work is 2nd to none. The guys on his crew are fantastic workers and are very friendly and professional as well. He did a paver patio for me last summer and I know almost the entire crew was the same this time as they were for the last job so that tells you how good they are and how good he is to employees. Don't waste your time getting dozens of quotes for outdoor jobs, just call Chris at Yanton's.

.Chris came and evaluated our project he was very detail oriented. After getting his estimate we decided his company was right for us.They started the job running they layed down sheets of plywood to protect our lawn. Everything he promised they would do was done to perfection, they cleaned up our yard and driveway everything looks wonderful !!! We would definitely use them again.
Description of Work
They removed and hauled away 54 feet of old landscape timbers and soil, dug out for wall foundation then backfilled with limestone compacting it until level. They then installed 3 rows of tumbled wall stone gluing between all. They then put landscape cloth with new topsoil mixed with leaf compost inside the planter beds.

Chris Yanton was easy to reach and very easy and professional to work with. He answered all of my questions and showed me plenty of options, explaining the pros and cons of each. The crew arrived when they were scheduled and worked hard. They cleaned up thoroughly when they were done. This was just the sort of experience I want when I have home improvement work done. I was very pleased with the quality of the work and pleasantly surprised when they went above and beyond when finishing. I highly recommend Yanton's for outdoor work, and I would use them again.

I called Yanton?s for an estimate to extend the walkway/create a new patio are on an existing paver job. Chris showed up, and we discussed the details of the job to be completed. Chris is a consummate professional, he explained he would do the project anyway I wanted, but wanted me to reconsider a change in the plan. After he took the time to show me the flaw in my original idea, and explained the benefits of changing the plan, the steps he would take to ensure the existing layout and materials would match as best as he could possibly do. Based on Chris? years of experience, passion for his craft and very reasonable estimate, I decided to go with Yanton?s. When Chris? crew actually showed up to begin the project half a day early, and went right to work. They worked together like a well-oiled machine, as they begun the site prep, it was obvious to tell this was not their first job. When I got home from work (being surprised the job had started) the crew took the time to explain what they were doing, and the steps for the remainder of the project. I?ve been around a lot of tradesmen and crews, and this one by far was the most polite, enthusiastic and professional I?ve seen to date. They left nothing to chance as they laid the pavers in place, using a schematic to match the pattern and custom cutting the pavers for an exact match. The area around a window well, was never discussed, yet Chris and his crew dressed up an otherwise mundane feature with a custom cut soldier course brings life that that area of the patio. Chris estimated the job taking 4 days, and was finished in 2 ½. Chris also went above and beyond, ensuring plywood was placed on grassy areas to drive the bobcat across, and they even raked the grass back to at ?standing? position when the plywood came up at the end of the job. Another impressive clean up service, power washing the driveway! Chris and his crew went to extraordinary lengths to ensure the property was better than when they arrived. They are truly artists in the their craft. If you are wanting/needing hardscape work done, look no further than Yanton's Outdoor Living!

Hello [Member name removed], Thank you so much for the kind words. Hearing these types of reviews is what truly makes me happy and strive to put my customers first. At the same time, you were a very pleasant and kind person to work for. And should honestly become a chef/king of the barbecue!! The pulled pork lunch you made for our crew , was nothing short of amazing. Thanks again. And best wishes

The experience with Yanton's and the end result exceeded our expectations. We received several bids, but decided to go with Chris because he provided the best solution for our specific situation. His quote was detailed in explaining everything that would be done and he followed up with additional information when we asked. Since our backyard is difficult to access we were concerned about damage to our property. Chris explained how that would be handled and there were no issues at all. Chris and his crew were professional throughout the entire process, and we couldn't be happier with our new patio. Highly recommended.

Total professionals and true artists. We were told the job would take 5 to 7 days and they were done on the 4th day. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience. Now we are stuck looking around our property for more projects to employ their services. Worth every penny.

Excellent experience! We have no complaints whatsoever, only good things to say. We have recommended Chris to our neighbors and friends who need similar work done. He is an honest business owner, very hard worker and his team are long term employees that we could trust. They work like a well-oiled MACHINE and get everything done on time and to specifications.

Could not have went better. I had 7 bids done for this project and hands down Chris and Yanton's was FAR superior to the competition. His prices were the most competitive, his responsiveness was WAY better than most other vendors, he was VERY good at communicating with me through the process (including texting back and forth during the project which I really liked). If you are in need of a outdoor project I would give Chris a call for sure, if we do any more work he will probably be the only person we call next time and I have already sent 2 family friends to him for quotes. Thanks

He first prepared the yard by removing part of an old wall made of railroad ties, and dirt so the wall could be built on the property line. The wall died into a hill at the beginning, and at the end. The finished product of the wall itself is beautiful, far more than a man has a right to deserve. He then correctly filled in enough gravel to facilitate drainage, and employed other methods so that there would be no pressure or unneeded demand on the wall in the future. The final work consisted of filling in the yard with dirt, and leveling it at a slight decline for added drainage. Everything was extremely professional, and left no doubt as to his skill and experience. I know of no other man I would trust more in the accomplishment of any work that he does in his business; even his employees harbor the same professional character in behavior and performance. I am more than pleased at the overall result.

The whole process went well. Chris Yancey was excellent. He communicated well and him and his crew worked from start to finish. The pavers and fire pit looks great they even cleaned up their mess and planted grass after they were finished. They had to use the neighbors driveway to access the back yard so Chris went out and bought the neighbors gift cards to show his appreciation. Thanks Chris you did a great job!!!!!Q

We priced out stamped concrete and paver patios with about 7 different companies. We originally decided on stamped concrete thinking we couldn't afford pavers...until we received the estimate from Yanton's. We had a 14x19 paver patio installed. The crew was on time, very friendly, and efficient. Installation took about 2 days. They made a mess but cleaned up before they left on both days. Chris was easy to get a hold of and checked on installation after day 1 and day 2. We would definitely use Yanton's again and highly recommend them.
