We are completely satisfied with the work of Outdoors by JK on our walkway.The work crew was on time, treated our property with respect & did a very professional job. Jack made sure the project was explained thoroughly & visited the finished project himself-highly recommend!!
Workers very carefully removed old plants from the landscape rock while making sure that they picked out the rocks that fell in the old hole. They also put down new plastic to cover the old holes to keep weeds from coming through. Overall a very nice job. You could tell the workers took pride in their work.
Jack and team did a spectacular job on our patio extension and rock around the house. Could not be happier with the product and work!
