Andrew LApril 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I had Darvis Outdoor take care of some drainage issues (water pooling and killing grass; gutters eroding nearby dirt), a bumpy lawn (filled in the holes eliminating tripping hazards), and some garden edging. The photos do not show the full scope of work for our yard, as both the front and back yard were fully serviced, but the attention to detail can be seen. Jacob was very knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything and go the extra mile, completing the job to perfection. He takes pride in his work and it shows. We will definitely use his services again in the future. Thank you, Jacob! Laura MOctober 28, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jacob recently completed a big landscaping project in our backyard and we could not be happier. He was excellent at communicating and sending updates as we were out of town at the time. Jacob sent a plan of what was to be done and included different ranges of price based on what we were comfortable with. He added sod and beautiful Alabama Stone making our backyard complete! He was efficient, helpful and his workmanship was topnotch. His attention to detail and care was much appreciated-he even added a temporary irrigation system until we returned home. Thank you SO much!! SteveMay 31, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jacob was the most professional, knowledgeable and communicative landscaper we've ever worked with. He did an excellent job putting a border around our pool and even went the extra mile without being asked and use the extra bark in our front flowerbeds, killed weeds in our existing flower beds and rock gardens, blew all the debris off the sidewalks, driveway and road and left zero mess. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!! Debbie BMay 30, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jacob did an excellent job on the pavers i requested. He listened to what I wanted and executed better than i imagined. I've used his services twice and look forward to future projects we've discussed. He is prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. Danny COctober 13, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an excellent experience using Darvis for our paving project. They communicated efficiently, gave us fair pricing and finished the project in a timely manner. The guys were really nice and I would absolutely recommend them for any of your paving needs. Ashley CSeptember 11, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Jacob and his team. They came out to reroute our gutter down spouts and preform grading services to prepare for our backyard patio renovations. We are very pleased with their services and appreciate how polite the team was.
