Project cost: over $25,000
All Type Landscape was helpful with ideas and layout creation and materials available suggestions when starting our patio, and takes his work very seriously. Actually we had a hard time deciding, but Tom was very patient with us while we figured it out. He also worked with us to keep our project within budget. He was very responsive, and checked in continually as the work was being done to make sure we were happy. His crew was friendly and professional, and the work got done faster than we had anticipated. The end result was a superbly crafted and gorgeous patio, and a much better drainage system than what we had before.
Description of work:
All Type installed a large paver patio with accent walls, fire pit, and lighting, a retaining wall, a leveled pad for a shed, and an underground downspout with a pop up drain.

After receiving proposals from other companies, I chose All Type Landscape to construct a retaining wall / planter box around a pair of basement egress windows in a newly built house. I was impressed with Tom's knowledge and attention to detail. It is obvious that he knows what he is doing and loves what he does! The crew was friendly and Tom communicated with me every step of the way. He made some great suggestions and the project went smoothly from start to finish. I could not be more pleased, they did an outstanding job. I highly recommend All Type Landscape.
Mr. Neal R.
Cleared dense vegetation, trees, and leveled yard. Built 3 timber retaining walls with steps on our sloped yard. Demo’ d out concrete poured walk, corrected pitch around home including putting in multiple drains to correct drainage hill erosion issues. Put in a beautiful permeable flagstone walkway and bed edging.
Tom and his crew were great. The job actually started out being much smaller, but we ran into some issues that increased the scope of the job and needed to be addressed. Tom was very flexible throughout, and very helpful in the decision making process on how to deal with the several challenges we faced in an effective yet cost conscious manner. Our yard is much more usable and attractive than before, and the erosion, drainage and pitch issues we faced were resolved and held up beautifully during the record amounts of rainfall we got shortly after the work was done. Tom has come by several times since completing the work on his own initiative after heavy rains to make sure everything was draining as expected.
We are very happy we decided to go with All-Type and would not hesitate to use them again. Job cost $22,500.00
Mr. Franco R. Built a patio & retaining wall in our backyard and surrounding landscaping.
All Type did a great job helping us develop our patio design and incorporated changes to the layout that we requested along the way. He took into account what we wanted and provided several good suggestions to improve the original design. He was always available to take phone calls and always asked for our feedback. The work was completed as scheduled and within the agreed upon budget, even though we had to pick different pavers when we found out that the original ones could not be delivered on time. The crew was very polite, professional and accommodating, especially Chris (aka “Red”), who was always available to answer our questions and willing to explain the technical details of their work. Overall it was very easy to work with All Type Landscape and we would work with them again if we ever need more landscaping. We would definitely recommend their services. Job cost $12,750.00
Mrs. Rchel R. Built retaining wall in backyard, and landscaped front yard.
All type arrived on time. We had a lot of rain, so they came back several times to complete the job. Was done earlier than I expected with the weather we had. I rate the crew at All Type Landscape AAA. Job cost $9,500.00
Ms. Alex B. Built a Timber retaining wall, plus landscaping.
What fun to work with Tom and his crew from All Type Landscape. My husband and I wanted some privacy in our flat, boring subdivision backyard. But we didn’t want to do a block wall which would entail a survey & high costs. In addition, Tom and his crew did some extra work on a bad drain in the yard and a tree that needed pruning, and did not charge us for that part of the project. He was very “hands-on” with the whole project and we consulted constantly as the items were placed and the plants dug in. The whole project took only about 2 ½ days, and the crew was polite and cleaned up after themselves. We highly recommend All Type Landscape. Job Cost $5,500.00
Mr. Jay B. All Type designed a new landscaped front yard including flag stone wall, flower bed and all plants including several trees.
We originally had a yard with some weeds and a giant hill and decided to do something about it. We originally tried to do the work ourselves and started to clear the pile and grass. Well, after several works of slow progress and it looking much worse than when we began we decided to call for help. After calling several vendors and either not getting a response or mind blowing high quotes a friend recommended All Type Landscaping.
They immediately understood what we wanted and that while we wanted something very nice we did have a budget. They quickly did a computer drawing of their proposal and it was fantastic and much better than we expected. Of course with us now loving the drawing we cringed as we asked about the price.
We were very surprised at the low cost and great value. They did a great job and did the work beyond our expectations. We now have a front yard landscape that we are proud of and are eyeing the backyard for next year!
