Earth Ideas Outdoors

What an efficient organization. From the moment we called for an estimate to provide drainage from our back porch until completion of work, they were so professional. They showed up exactly when they said they would for the estimate and answered all our questions. As soon as we agreed to do the work, they contacted septic, cable and gas people to mark all lines. The work was done in a few hours(God bless those hard workers out in the scorching sun) and answered follow up questions by phone and email quickly. What I love most is that they are active members of the BBB, certified and belong to a lot of professional organizations. That shows they want to be the best in their field.

Mike and his team are just great at all your landscaping needs. They give accurate estimates and do a fantastic job. I have found my new Landscapper! And they are very responsive unlike other landscapers I have dealt with in the past.

I had a significant erosion problem around my foundation. Earth Ideas installed a retaining wall that will solve my erosion problem and it looks great!!! Would definitely hire them again!!!

Earth Ideas installed a new paver patio in our backyard and did a great job. The price was fair, the workmanship was high quality, and the project only took a few hours. I'd highly recommend them.

We had Earth ideas handle our drainage issue plus landscape back and front. Mike listened to our wants/needs and worked to meet our requests. We had them come back a year later to do more and there were major delays due to Covid and employees being out of work plus weather. We were pleased with the final project--Mike went over and beyond what we anticipated. Michelle was always nice when I called in. The employees were very nice and worked hard to get the job done and clean up afterwards.

I made an appointment 4 weeks ago for today, and nobody showed up. I called after waiting for half an hour for someone to let me know why they are running late, and the rude woman who answered the phone told me that I wasn't on the schedule for having an appointment. DON'T HIRE THIS CONTRACTOR. Beware of people who are not even organized enough to write down their appointments. I wasted 4 weeks of waiting for them to have an availability. I would prefer to give this company no stars.

DON'T EVEN BOTHER, RUDE STAFF...I'd give NO STARS if I Could

I had submitted a request for a quote via their website. They did respond back but unfortunately, I was delayed in getting back to them as I had work obligations that superseded my home maintenance. Nevertheless, when I did call back the person answering the phone, Michelle, was very RUDE and condescending. I have many items to address with the most important one being the lack of drainage in my backyard. As I was explaining the situation, she very rudely cut me off and asked what did I want done. I told her I was trying to explain to her what it was was. She condescending asked did I want to have my yard re-graded or drainage install. I told her I didn't know...hence I was contacting the experts to get their advice for the best solution. I didn't mind the 3-week wait for the appointment. We set the appointment, and before I could even provide her with details of the other items I wanted addressed, she HUNG UP ON ME. No, "Thank you for calling, We'll contact you before we come out." Or, Is there anything else we can help you with". NOTHING, JUST CLICK AND HUNG UP.

If this is the service from the get go... thanks I think I'll pass.

We were very concerned about our home slab, this is Houston after all. I called Earth Ideas. Their engineer, Mark Haas, used a sophisticated laser to measures our home foundation. I was glad to learn our foundation was fine, but tree we tree planted in 2003 was pulling the moisture from under our garage; however, Earth Ideas had a solution.

They suggested a root barrier system, which I researched to my satisfaction. Shortly thereafter, we hired them to install an affordable root barrier system, and commissioned them to install a French drain, and level our flagstone walkway. I'm thrilled to report the entire one day installation process was exceptional. They hand trenched all the necessary areas, and that was hard work! They went above and beyond to accomplish the task, which included work outside of the scope, and cleaned the entire worksite. When they left you would have never known they were there. Amazing!!!

We started this job back in March. First what they did do. The over charged me $400 more than the price we agreed on. They installed six of the seven drains, but they did so incorrectly so there is almost always standing water in the drains. My entire outdoor space is overrun with mosquitoes as a result. They installed my flagstone patio, however it's more gravel than flagstone, so much so it's hard to walk on barefoot. What they didn't do they were supposed to prepare my existing flower beds to get the ready for planting. They removed the existing weeds and plants, but nothing more. No additional soil or prep. They were supposed to create beds in my back along my fence including a plastic sheet between the beds and fence, they didn't. They were supposed to level out my yard and lay sod. They didn't level it at all as there are lots of dips and hills. There idea if the flower bed was to just not lay the sod in the area. I spent over $13k and feel like they didn't do at least 5k of the work unfortunately
