Scott replaced some aging concrete + wood stairs on our front slope with natural stone steps and a stone wall to help with some erosion and mulch spillover trouble. Scott was extremely attentive and helpful throughout the process. Scott was there from the initial quote to actually doing the landscaping installation work himself...fair and transparent when drawing up an estimate, and very thorough and helpful when it came time to decide on materials that would look good with our existing wall and driveway. He, Noah, and Caesar were punctual, polite, and kept a clean workspace throughout the project. They didn't cut any corners and touched base with us about possible changes to our plan whenever the need arose. Overall we're very satisfied with the finished job and would gladly use Scott's services for future landscape updates.
Highly recommend. Scott was very attentive throughout the planning and installation process. He consulted at every decision point and gave helpful insight / recommendations when needed. Could not be happier with the quality of the finished product.
Dalton,
Thanks for the kind review. It was a pleasure working with you. I’m glad you are enjoying the end result. I hope you build many happy memories there.

TomLocal Guide · 121 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Tom has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
This project was necessitated by a water erosion issue in our yard caused by the clear cutting of a neighborhood up the hill from our property. We brought in Perspective to resolve that issue and add some visual interest.
We provided Scott with an overview of what we were looking for and he came up with a design to resolve the erosion problem and add the visual interest to the yard. He was e responsive to questions and updates throughout the project.
The project required boulders to be brought in and placed in various locations throughout the yard which were brought in and placed without disturbing the existing landscaping. The crew was very professional and respectful of the property as the project progressed.
We would recommend Perspective Landscape Solutions for both creativity in the project design and professionalism in the project execution.

Great experience with beautiful results! Scott does it all from design and grading to installation. He took the time to understand our wants and needs, develop a plan and execute the job. Scott was easy to communicate with and on site daily. The process was always fluid with changes made as the installation was in progress. With one point of contact from inception to completion the job was seamlessly developed. Our project included boulder stairs and walkways following the side yard which incorporated water runoff solutions and planting beds. Midway down a patio with sitting area were added. The result is a very natural addition to our shady wooded landscape.

We could not be happier with our decision to hire Scott with Perspective Landscape Solutions for our backyard patio! We were looking for a natural-looking stone patio with a short retaining wall for our sloped backyard that leads into a little forest. From beginning to end, he worked with us to ensure our vision was executed to our expectations and exceeded them from the get-go. He balanced our ideas with our budget, offering expert options and solutions that allowed us flexibility and left us completely in love with the final result. On top of all of that, he is a genuinely nice guy to work with, a great communicator, and equally skilled as a contractor and an artist. 10/10 recommend!

We wanted to tie our deck and gazebo together in a seamless way. Scott came in and made suggestions that we have not thought about. Created an amazing patio. He exceeded my wife’s expectation, which is not easy. I would highly recommend Scott for any project, he was prompt, professional and passionate about his craft.

It was a pleasure to work with Scott. Our project was small but Scott offered helpful suggestions and ideas. Once the project was scheduled, he and his team had it completed very quickly. His pricing is very reasonable.
