When it came to construction, I was just as pleased. The crew who set the very large boulders did so with great skill. The dry stack walls also turned out very well. And the landscape install was also done with great execution.
And finally, I know that the clients are looking forward to working with Native Edge on an ongoing basis for landscape management. Great job, and I look forward to working with you all again...!”
Thank you again Native Edge, you are definitely pros!"
During one project, they worked over the weekend—I was talking with their manager, and he asked if it was OK that they worked during the weekend since the previous week it had rained and they missed a day of work; they wanted to keep going to keep the project on track! Delightful accountability!”
Handed off to his construction team, Chris, Cary, Gabriel + crew. Once they started, they never missed a day and cranked out our project in exactly the 8 weeks they said they would. The finished product is even better than we expected. Would absolutely recommend working with Native Edge!"
This is a top-quality company that offers value, quality, and great communication skills so you get an excellent product."
