The project

How it came together

This backyard was redesigned into a complete outdoor living space built for comfort, entertainment, and year-round use. The project features a spacious Trex Lineage deck, a screened porch with durable metal roofing, and a Belgard paver patio with a London Cobble border that ties the entire layout together.

The space was finished with a custom fire pit and sitting wall, creating a natural gathering area for family and guests. Integrated lighting and under-deck details enhance both the look and function of the space. With recessed lighting, low-voltage accents, and a ceiling fan, the outdoor living area is comfortable and usable throughout every season.

Absolutely perfect job landscaping the front of the house! This is the second large job they did for me, the first being the planting of around of 30 trees a year ago. All work has been excellent and will continue to work with Matt and his team.

Lawn Artists completed a new patio and deck for us after a tree took our old ones out, they were on budget, timely and did beautiful and detailed work, would highly recommend them to anyone, Matt and his team were wonderful!

We will continue to hire Lawn Artists for future projects. Not only will they work with you, but they definitely deliver on their promises. Whether you need your gutters cleaned to a new patio, they are definitely your guys.

Several companies would not bid on my job because the job was small. Lawn Artists came out, talked to me and my wife to gathered all the details. They did the job perfectly! I was looking for a company for a long term relationship and Lawn Artists is now that company. Matt and Kenny will take great care of you!

Loren Willcock

Absolutely wonderful company. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Lawn Artists transformed my lawn with a 4 1/2 month project that addressed dire drainage issues on the property. They are professional, personable, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. At the end of the project they had replaced three retaining walls with ones that work and are beautiful as well. Also they built a paver walkway around the house to again, focus on the erosion issues. Pavers were used on our driveway and beautiful patio. The project has been completed but they continue to check the property and tweak if needed. I can not recommend them enough. Jan Stohlman

We had a large hardscaping project to demo and rebuild retaining walls, patio areas including stairs and deck. Lawn Artists came through with a great design and executed it well at a fair price. The work exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have been happier with the final results.

We had our existing small Trex deck reboarded and expanded 200% by Lawn Artists. Kevin and his crew did a fantastic job - smooth process from the estimate, contract, permits then the meticulous work including reseeding the disturbed grass area - all finished in less than a month! We love our new deck! Highly recommended!

They do great work. My husband and I enjoyed working with them. Matt and his team did everything we asked of them and more. We had a large excavating project in our yard that only two companies we could find would be up to the job. We chose Lawn Artists and we are glad we did. Our lawn looks awesome. Would recommend 10/10!

Lawn Artists everything I could want in my lawn and Hardscape Adventures. I just happened to get their phone number off of one of their vehicles and set up a free consultation with them. They came took measurements photos and aerial drone photos. Then through video conferencing we worked all the details and my concerns out on an interactive 3D model scale. It was like I was right there doing the design. The crew was fast, efficient, and very knowledgeable about what they were doing. Many compliments from Neighbors around the block. Also they came in lower on price by the time we were done then you're bigger companies that I have visited. Also they periodically check their jobs when they are in the neighborhood and immediately set up to correct anything they notice more I notice needs Revisited. Thank you very much. My walkway and family really appreciate all.

Lawn Artists, led by Matt Curtin, designed and installed landscaping, walkway pavers, and fire pit and stone bench that have completely transformed our home's "curb appeal". Matt was easy to work with and patience with our schedule as we completed major upgrades to the home's roof, siding, and porches. His selection of plants and trees were right on the mark. His employees were always courteous and ensured they left the job site in great order. We strongly recommend Lawn Artists for any work you might be considering.
