Earth Ideas Outdoors

We used Earth Ideas for a pretty major landscaping overhaul of our place in the Heights. Grading, soil replacement, new sod, adding gravel, sprinkler installation, new gate in fence, etc. Their sales rep Mike was very knowledgeable and gave us an itemized written estimate, which we appreciated. Mike showed up every day while his crew was working to check on things, and I even saw him grab a shovel and jump into our muddy ditch to do some of the work himself. We were so happy with the work for the price that we used them again for our next project without getting any other bids. Mike is a nice guy who knows what he is doing, and his guys are conscientious hard workers who clean up after themselves.

Heads up that this company does not service the areas reflected in the map. I called the company to set up an appointment to assess and bid on drainage work. They were given my address, and set up an appointment a couple weeks out. On the day of the appointment, they called to cancel on the ground that they do not service my area. I live inside the loop, just a couple miles southeast from downtown. As this company is also inside the loop, I find it a little hard to believe (though they were nice enough when telling me).

All this to say, don't count on this company. If you need some work done and reach out to this company, make sure you call other companies and get other appointments set up. Otherwise, you may wait weeks only to be stood up with nothing to show for it.

Mike and his team transformed my backyard. No one used the yard other than the dog a few times a day as it was ugly and covered in dead grass and leaves. I was initially looking to improve drainage and replace the grass with gravel after lots of heavy rain and to keep things low maintenance. Mike gave us lots of ideas on how to make the space usable, aesthetic, and kept our dog in mind.

We had a few follow-up meetings/calls with Mike, and throughout the process he was very responsive and receptive to our thoughts. After deciding on the final look, Mike's team came out and completed the project quickly and was sure to keep things clean at the end of both days (despite it being muddy).

My yard now looks fantastic and is a cozy place to enjoy with friends and family. The pup loves it too. We're so pleased with the final results and are happy to recommend them to anyone who needs drainage or landscaping. Compliments to Mike for his outstanding service, too!

Earth Ideas Landscaping is very helpful and knowledgeable about whatever you might need. I had 2 giant oak trees and one creaked concrete driveway needed to be taken care of. The work crew showed up promptly. They were polite, and always greet me with a smile. I had them removed the cracked concrete slabs from the driveway and filled with gravel instead. They cut my trees branches down, cleaned up all the cut branches, and completed the work efficiently. They made my trees and the driveway look great in just 3 days. The owner of the company and his employees Mike and Daisy were so nice and so easy to communicate with.
Over all, this company went above my expectations. They gave a good quote and finished ahead of schedule which is what I needed. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs landscaping service.

They are so great! Talk to Mike first then Brian, them both and the team are so friendly and pro and willing to work with client. Finished the drainage project in 2 days. Wish they would grade my high side back yard a little , but it still look great & it should work well. Now waiting it to rain and see if it's will work, which I think it will. Both my next door neighbor was impress and asked for the #. Highly recommended.
Thank You Y'all!

They did a great job on the brickwork, but I never got my second bid and my tree died. When I called to have them out again the owner said they have a very high minimum in landscaping jobs and won't remulch.

eek-Edit
My experience with Earth Ideas was that they have very poor follow up once they have completed the job. Their failure to communicate creates frustration and a feeling of having bad business practices. The good work they initially did in landscaping my yard was lost in the way they handled follow up issues. They have a serious lack of communication. I cannot recommend this company .

If you choose them to do work for you, don't expect them to come on time. I unfortunately hired them, they showed up 4 hours later.

Be forewarned

I had a great experience with Earth Ideas until the end. They came to my property to install gutters, new drain around the house, regrade the yard, and lay new sod down. All the major issues look good but they didn't bring enough sod to complete the job. They left a patch on the side of my property with out sod. They also were suppose to sod the entire backyard but failed to do so. For the backyard part of it they dug up the current grass(full of weeds) took some dirt out to regrade and put the old grass on top and didn't not sod one section. Spoke with Mike the salesman said he would be back out later that week to put more sod down but never showed. Contacted Jennifer the office manager though email about the problem and no response. My advice for anyone going to use these guys is to make sure the job is done before you pay them because they will not come back out to finish what we agreed they would do.

I did my due diligence in receiving three estimates for my project to remove a rotted wood patio, replace it with a stamped and stained concrete patio, as well as re-grade my back and side yards for natural water draining and adding sod to the mud pit.

Why I chose Earth Ideas: Comfort and Communication. This was the only quote I wasnt able to be home to show around, but my wife was. She HATES being at home with contractors. Earth Ideas Rep, Mike, was phenominal and made my wife feel comfortable and explained clearly to her everything they would do. In contrast, every other contractor I met with had a lack of communication or provided an unclear quote. Mikes quote was detailed and well itemized so I knew exactly what I was getting for my money.

The process was pretty effortless. After a standard contract, they communicated timelines well, even through rain delays. The workers were clean and tidy throughout the project. In the end I got exactly what I expected for a reasonable price.

Earth Ideas will be my one stop shop for landscaping needs.
