Brad and his crew came out and removed our old retaining wall and replaced it in 2 1/2 days. They graded the yard to make it slope correctly for drainage and cleaned everything up when they were done. The new wall looks fantastic! They made sure to not block the alley when they were done each day, so my neighbors could still get to their garages. In a time where the price for retaining walls is sky rocketing, their quote was very competitive. I will definitely call on Brad again when were are ready to finish our backyard.

I had a vision for my backyard oasis and Brad and his crew were able to put together what I was envisioning. I had to retaining walls that were rotten and damaged by carpenter ants and wanted it replaced as well. I would refer Great Outdoor for your landscaping needs. Plan on using them next year for my front yard.

I cant say enough great things about Brad and his team! They are very dedicated and hard working. Brad is always available day or night when you need to talk thru designs, project status, etc. I had Great Outdoors do a complete transformation of my entire backyard to include a large retaining wall, new concrete patio with stone fire pit and sod/mulch. I also contracted Brad and his team for a new concrete driveway and retaining wall in my front yard. It all looks amazing and I am very happy with all the work!!
Brad is a no pressure guy! Hes flexible with planning and design. Open minded

Brad and his crew did a great job on our large landscaping projects. Brad was great at communicating with us and making sure the project was beening done to our satisfaction. The members of his crew were friendly and polite. Brad made sure we were satisfied with the work and they did a great job of cleaning up when they were finished. We had two large landscaping beds installed with plants, trees and large boulders, we also had large trees removed, retaining walls built and river rock installed.
