"Above and Beyond"

"We (my husband and I) could not be happier with the work of the Barrett team. From the very beginning, they consistently went above and beyond. When we had them come out to quote us on our idea for landscaping, the designer had recommendations for us that were very innovative and greatly enhanced the vision we had in the first place for our backyard patio/bonfire pit. They provided a fair quote, answered our questions in a timely manner, and the team that worked on our project was diligent, hard-working, detail-oriented, as well as friendly whenever we would talk briefly. Most importantly, our patio/bonfire pit turned out absolutely perfect. We get compliments constantly from friends/family of what an amazing job was done on this project. I cannot say enough great things about this company. If you want high quality, time-efficient, fairly priced work done to your yard, this is where you want to be. We are already looking at other projects that Barrett can help us with in our yard and we look forward to working with them in the future."
