Double Tree Landscaping completed work to our front and rear yard including installation of artificial turf, tree planting, and rebuilding a stone patio, garden wall, front stone landing and a natural stone retaining wall. The work was completed over two-and-a-half weeks as scheduled. All the landscaping except for the artificial turf and tree planting was to redo poor work from a previous landscaper. My wife and I had a new custom house built four years ago and all of the landscaping, which was very poorly done, required fixing or replacing. Double Tree Landscaping was recommended by a friend who was extremely happy with the quality and cost of the work. I called Blair in to quote on the job. He gave me a good, honest opinion of what had to be done to redo the landscaping so that it would last. He gave me several options, from less expensive to more expensive, and explained the advantages to each. When I asked him about reinstalling the stone patio, he explained to me how the base should be constructed and stones laid so that it would last many years and won’t shift. Exactly what I wanted to hear! Blair and his entire landscaping crew were friendly, professional and meticulous about their work. They cleaned the job site after every day of work. The best contractors are always those that take the most pride in their work and truly want to do a good job, and Blair’s team certainly did that. They even went “the extra mile” by fixing some stone masonry work for free that was not part of their job. They arrived on time, every day. Blair provided frequent updates on how they were progressing. I would recommend Double Tree Landscaping without reservations to anyone who requires hard or soft landscaping. They do it all and do it extremely well. I will definitely be calling Blair for our next landscaping project. Having had dozens of contractors involved in the construction of our house, I can say that Blair’s team is probably the best of all of them. If only the others were that good!

I hired Finer Edge to repaint exterior metal handrails at the front and rear of my house. Derek, Vince and Drazin were excellent to deal with. They were courteous, responsive and did not try to oversell me on products and services. The quality of the painting exceeded my expectations. The finish was great and the "cut in" was perfect. There were no drip marks on any unpainted surfaces. I have found in the past that some painters cut corners to save time. But Finer Edge did what they said they would do, which was to grind rusty sections down to base metal, prime, and then paint with two coats of paint. I will definitely use Finer Edge on my next paint job and have already recommended their services to a friend!

Outstanding product, installation, and customer service. Dave provided a lot of useful suggestions which resulted in cost-savings and a better end-product. One of the best customer-service experiences ever. If only all home improvement contractors were this good.
