Chris & his team are the best of the best. Professional, knowledgeable, and truly care about the service they provide. Chriss expertise is unmatched and the patio he built for us is something that belongs in magazines. Everyone who now sees my patio, complements Ideal Landscape and then wants to hire them for their own patios!

Chris King and his crew at Ideal Landscape are true professionals. The communication was great, they were on time, the work was done thoughtfully and carefully. The replaced a walk, created a paver apron in front of the driveway, replaced a flower bed, replaced a drain and created an overflow basin. They answered questions clearly, adapted to a change I requested, and I'm very pleased with the quality of their work. Highly recommended!

Ideal Landscape did a patio for us with a beautiful three tiered wall and we love it! We have been in our house for almost 15 years and we usually do one improvement every year the patio is by far the best improvement we have done and we wish we had done it years earlier. Chris King, the owner, really listened to what we wanted and then used his creativity and expertise to come up with ideas and solutions. You can count on him to communicate, to be honest and respectful, and deliver beautiful, quality work!

Ideal installed a large patio and wall for us a few years ago and the quality of construction was outstanding. Also, the design process was very interactive and Mr. King went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. The design was very thorough and robust and I anticipate that the patio and walls will last for generations to come!
