What do customers say?

Al's crew excels at hardscaping, landscape design, and solving drainage problems. Multiple reviews highlight Robert, David, and the team's knowledge, follow-through, and willingness to advise against solutions that won't work long-term. One recent complaint about office management contesting a warranty claim on sprinkler reopening work stands apart from overwhelming praise for field performance and design expertise.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
