Services
Once your design is finalized, we will expertly install your zone-hardy plants that will bring years of beauty and enjoyment. You can be confident that our experienced staff will use planting standards implemented by the Horticultural Society of America. Materials will be installed using screened topsoil amended with Healthy Start 3-4-3 plant fertilizer and Soil Moist, a moisture retention product.
More and more families are moving their living rooms outside, so why not do it in style! No matter the size of your yard, your outdoor living spaces will work better together if you establish practical traffic patterns to designated "areas". You can do this in a variety of ways, including creating shifts with hardscape materials, ie: patios, walkways, water/fire features and focal points and the finishing touches with strategically places plantings.Plantings will provide privacy, secluded spaces, beauty and color to soften and complement the "hard" surfaces.
Diamond is a premier installer of a diverse line of paving products. We take pride in our meticulous craftsmanship and array of options for elegant patios, winding walkways, and functional driveways. Diamond's hardscape foremen are ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute) certified installers.
Concrete pavers are a popular choice for driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool surrounds. Pavers are manufactured to high standards, creating a durable product that can actually create a stronger surface than traditionally poured concrete. They come in an almost unlimited variety of shapes, styles, patterns, and colors, giving plenty of choices to allow a unique area that complements the house and landscape.

We are beyond satisfied with the work Diamond Landscaping did at our home. We had an old stone walkway and front porch replaced with a paver walkway and porch. We also had our front and back yard landscaped, as well as professional lighting installed. Tom and Barb are joys to work with. We had an initial consult at our home, and then we went to their office where they showed us a rendering of the plan, providing an itemized quote.
We found this very helpful for visualization. Ultimately, the hardscape and landscape teams worked efficiently, but without sacrificing detail. We made a few last minute aesthetic changes (on us), which we understood would take extra time. I was struck, through the whole process, at Tom and Barb's insights and ideas to further beautify the end product.
My home is a old Tudor style home, so I had my reservations about the end product, i.e. replacing an old stone walkway with pavers. However, with the input of Tom and Barb, we added features that put the end product over the top. For example, we added a black brick border to the walkway and threshold, which added aesthetic appeal. Also, Tom recommended adding limestone capstones to the porch portion, to better compliment the natural stone on my home's structure.
The end product exceeded my expectations greatly. We have a beautiful, new walkway and porch, and they honestly look amazing with the old house, a perfect fit. The landscaping is gorgeous, and I am ecstatic that I took their advice on adding lighting, for both aesthetics and security/safety. Don't skip it! It's wonderful to work with professionals who are not only highly skilled at their craft, but also know what will look beautiful! Tom and Barb, and their crew are so nice.
Everyone is friendly and down to earth, just good people. The guys took pride in their work and would ask me if I wanted to take a look along the way. They also kept a clean and orderly work space, which is difficult when you're digging up someone's yard. Lastly, based on quotes, Diamond's pricing is extremely competitive, and given the stellar results, I would say a bargain. I would recommend Diamond in a heart beat for all your hardscape, landscape, and lighting needs.

We can not recommend Tom and Barb of Diamond Landscaping more highly. Any job big or small and Diamond is the way to go. This is the second time that we have used them. The first was a stone back patio with sitting wall, firepit and pergola and they just completed the patio surround for a pool installation along with a water feature and surrounding landscape.
They are true professionals. Tom (owner) was there every day of work at the house to make sure that we were comfortable and that things were done right. They come when they say the will and keep you updated along the way. Our project got moved up several weeks unexpectedly with our pool installation occurring sooner than expected. I called Tom and he answered while on vacation, came back late Sunday night just to meet my pool guys early Monday morning to make sure things were done right.
Along the way things came up during our project that needed changed or adjusted and they always kept us up-to-date and made sure we were comfortable. Diamond will not be the cheapest option that you find but for something that will last a lifetime in our back yard the quality that you receive is well worth it. Congrats Tom and Barb and as always you help at our home was much appreciated. -Matt Wheeler

Diamond Landscaping was recommended to us by friends and we could not be happier with the work they did! Barb and Tom were so helpful and responsive during the design process. They really helped us figure out what we wanted for our backyard by listening to our ideas and offering their honest expert opinions. The whole crew is friendly, prompt and professional.
We have used them for two projects and will definitely use them again in the future! They really do quality work and take pride in doing so, which is hard to find! Highly recommend!

Diamond Landscaping has done extensive work over the years to help us create our backyard dreams. They installed a beautiful paver patio with seating wall, grill island, additional island with sink and bar style seating and pizza oven. We could not be more pleased with the quality of work and professionalism of the team. They have truly been a pleasure to work with and their finished product is always outstanding. Highly recommend!

Diamond landscaping goes above and beyond and takes great pride in their work. They make sure everything is perfect. Where some contractors may try to hide a flaw or an issue, diamond will fix it and make sure it is done right. I very highly recommend them for your landscaping or hardscaping project.

We have worked with Diamond Landscaping for 20+ years. The work they do is impeccable. Our flower beds, perennial plants, trees and shrubbery are beautiful. Every Spring the crew arrives and within two days we are ready for Summer; and then in September, they arrive again and make us ready for Fall and Winter. They take all the seasonal plants and trimmings away with them too!
The mulch beds are edged beautifully and mulched perfectly for the summer plantings. And the Fall clean up is immaculate. Diamond Landscaping ensures the quality of the mulch and plantings are superior. Unfortunately, we've seen what can happen with neighbors who use "bad mulch". We have never had any issues. Maybe twice in 20 years we had a shrub or bush that did not thrive, and it was replaced. We highly recommend the quality of Diamond Landscaping. Five Stars!

I was interested Diamond landscaping because of their experience with pavers and retaining walls. I set up with Tom & Barb. It took a couple of weeks for them to visit because Tom was busy. We agreed to buy a plan for$500 and gave them a 50% deposit in advance. Proposed delivery presentation was a month later. Four days before the presentation date we got an email that they were pushing back the presentation for two more weeks.
I imagine Tom was still busy. I emailed them about my concern about the slipping schedule. Barb replied that they were quitting because they couldn't satisfy my timeline. They refunded my deposit by mail. I was very dissatisfied that they set back my project. If they were too busy they could have refused the work without wasting more than a month of my time when I could have been finding another firm.

My LawnCare company services two places that were hardscaped by Diamond. I see a lot of places where people have put some money into retaining walls, patios, pavers, firepits, pillars, steps, and all the other things you can imagine with today's engineered block. The two properties I am speaking about are the best looking hardscaped places I have seen.
So much so that I purposely asked the home owners who did their work. While I also do some less complex hardacaping, I wouldn't hesitate to call Diamond if I were to add a larger feature or area to my own property. The stuff I've seen that they do flows very nicely. It's level and designs are centered. And most importantly, retaining walls seem to be installed structurally sound the way the manufacture intended. I've never met these guys or had the opportunity to consult with them, but their work speaks for itself.
