Our Customers Say
Members of her crew were great to work with. They were able to get to the job sooner than anticipated, and got it done quickly. Although working from a design someone else had prepared for us, they made some suggestions that not only improved the installation but saved a few dollars in the process. High quality from start to finish.
I have seen a couple yards before and after Earth Kind has finished their projects. Let’s just say it’s a night and day difference. Attention to detail and wonderful products. Looking forward to our next add on. Reach out and give them a try, very impressed.
