Love working with Jeff. He's good at listening and discussing ideas to make your outdoor space unique and personal. Job site is clean and picked up at end of every day. Very pleased with a water feature and a bricked in courtyard. Patio steps turned out amazing. I've scheduled my third outdoor project with Scratching The Earth Landscaping come spring. Can't waite.

The water feature that they built for me FAR EXCEEDED my expectations!!! It is truly an AMAZING work of art that I will enjoy for many years to come. Jeff is a master craftsman who has an incredible eye for design and aesthetics. I cant say enough about Jeff and his crew, Cody and Ryan, two of the nicest, most creative, hard working guys. I highly recommend them and would give 10 stars if I could.
