Were buried in 19 inches of snow right now and I cant wait for spring to see the results of the wonderful landscaping and hardscaping job done by EA Quinn! The design process with Darlene was fun and educational; the installation with Justin was smooth and both were always willing to listen to and accommodate our requests. The hardscaping looks fantastic around our new pool. Now we just need to see all the flowers and grasses pop up this spring! It was a long process but will be well worth it in the end.

I reached out in regards to a project that was not the smallest one but was shocked to get a similar response as stated by the previous reviewers that the project was pretty much not worth their time. This is very insulting considering they didnt event bother to look at the property. I will never refer and or do business with this company. Terrible customer service.

Exceptional customer service from first contact to the end of our home landscaping project! It is so rare to work with a company that surpasses one's expectations and hopes. However, EA Quinn was beyond great to work with. They are knowledgeable, friendly and conscientious. We loved working with Fran, Debbie, Erick, Craig and his 'crew.' Thank you all!
