The Outdoor Advantage

Dave and his team are absolutely top notch! We had stone steppers put in and landscaping done around a pool that was put in and left extremely rough grade. They transformed my back yard in 3 days. Dave does not cut corners and is honest about pricing and how to save you money which sadly isn't always the case with some companies. The workers were on time everyday and worked so hard to get the job done within the timeframe given. They also left the job site cleaner than it was before they came. We are absolutely thrilled with The Outdoor Advantage and will be using them in the future! Thanks guys!

The company did a great job completely redoing my front yard and putting in a new driveway. Friendly, on time, very professional evaluation and consultation to select the right elements for the job.

They took a pit in my backyard and turned it back into a functional yard. They performed all the work in three days and I could not be happier with what Ricardo and his crew did. I highly recommend them and if I ever need anything else done to my backyard, they'll be my first call.

Dave came out to provide an estimate for our new home and was incredibly thorough and helpful in explaining what his recommendations were to address some water grading issues. Additionally, there was so much overgrowth that we really just had no idea what we had to work with. Among the projects we needed done were the removal of an old rusted fence and two dead trees, a general clean up of the way overgrown lawn, and regrading the area so it would be more functional.

They were done in a day, incredibly efficient, and when they finished, we were amazed at how much bigger (and better!) our property looked. We look forward to using them for future outdoor projects!

I am very thankful for the reviews posted here. I did not read them until I was about to sign a contract for landscape work. Dave seemed nice enough at the time until I informed him that I decided to go in another direction after reading the two previous reviews posted here. All I can say is WOW! He called me in response to my email declining his estimate of $4200 for work he said would be closer to $3000.

He said he doesn't give a s__t about Yelp reviews. Bragged that he does $5million worth of business a year and then attacked me personally! When I told he I was ending the conversation and hung up, instead of just letting it go he took tie to rage in an email! All I could think of is how grateful I was for the reviews posted here. This man evidently cannot accept criticism of any kind.

If there would have been any issue with the work he did, it would've resulted in a nasty confrontation as cited in the two previous reviews. If you have taken the time to read these reviews, consider yourself warned of what you may be getting into if you choose his company. Like many contractors, his aim is high volume and big bucks with total disregard for customers who are not satisfied with his work. As the one review states, "He really doesn't care about how you feel."

I worked with Phil and his team to clean up and re-plant all the beds at the house I had recently purchased. On the business side of things, I found Outdoor Advantage to be reasonably priced, easy to work with, and prompt to schedule. As for the work itself, the guys did a phenomenal job. We're very happy with how everything looks. Not only were no corners cut but they did things like - when they had extra mulch toward the end - recommend where else might benefit from it and then spread it there for us (outside of scope). Very good experience, will work with them again!

Dave, Phil, James and team did a great job on our yard. True professionals that took pride in a job well done. They always arrived early and stayed late, and even did some work beyond the initial scope to make sure we were happy.

We could not be happier with the work done by The Outdoor Advantage. We've used this company for years to do our leaf pickup, but in the past few months we've experienced their professionalism, expertise and responsiveness in new ways. Dave Ewell and his crew first built a retaining wall for our son, then completed a major stream erosion project for us - both went exceedingly well.

We appreciated how Dave worked with us to keep costs down - the projects were very reasonable in comparison with other quotes. The crew showed up promptly each day and worked hard -we were amazed by how much they accomplished in a single day. The final result was better than we could have imagined. We highly recommend The Outdoor Advantage!

I highly recommend The Outdoor Advantage for all your landscaping, hardscaping, and exterior repair needs. From the owner of the company through the site manager and work crew to the office staff - everyone is professional, skilled, and friendly. I had a variety of projects needed at my older home that TOA not only completed, but did so beyond expectations. For this I am thankful.

Our first job was completed yesterday, in what we hope to be a staged total landscape program this year. I was entirely delighted with Phil and his crew, who works quickly and accurately, while maintaining a personal touch. They are skilled and thorough. Knowledgeable and efficient. Choose this company for your landscaping needs.

I would highly recommend The Outdoor Advantage for any landscaping jobs you may have. The work they did was phenomenal. Highly recommend 10/10.

Phil Soper is impressive with his knowledge & professionalism. He quickly understood our issues, made suggestions which we appreciated & agreed to have done. On the day scheduled to start work, Omar & Edwin immediately began our project & within hours transformed our backyard. The best part for us was after they left it was difficult to see the 20+ ft trench they had dug. With sod deftly laid down you couldn't see the trench. We highly recommend Outdoor Advantage.wow

They did a fantastic job on my yard and I couldn't be happier. I have already had several compliments from neighbors. I will definitely be using The Outdoor Advantage again for any landscaping needs I have in the future.

We had a positive experience working with Outdoor Advantage to power wash and seal our deck. Dave, the owner, provided a free estimate which did not require us to be present, resulting in less time off of work. We were scheduled within a week, and the work was completed the following week. The deck was cleaned w/ a power wash; Dave reassured us that no additional cleaning chemicals were needed.

We chose a semi transparent color, that should protect the deck from water/sun damage for approximately 4 years. The crew of 5 guys, was hardworking, respectful, and professional. They completed the work from start to finish very quickly, and worked hard during one of the hottest days to date this summer. There was a bit of miscommunication about the schedule, which ultimately resulted in the project being completed earlier than originally anticipated; no complaints here!

The finished product looks great, and the crew left us with the leftover sealent for touch ups in the future. Price was reasonable/ what was to be expected for the work. We would be happy to work with them again.

They did an amazing job and were professional and pleasant to work with throughout the planning and actual job. Phil was extremely responsive to any questions. They got the job done in a timely manner and it turned out very well! We are very happy with the porch and are pleased to recommend this company to others!

Best decision ever! I met with multiple companies/contractors and felt "bummed out" after each meeting. I was so annoyed and overwhelmed that I was considering putting the project off for a while. I had one more consultation scheduled with Dave from The Outdoor Advantage and decided if this one didn't go well, we would wait. The first meeting was awesome! (And so easy!) Dave seemed so confident, but also really listened to my ideas and concerns.

The crew was professional and always on time. They even came on a couple of Saturdays to keep on schedule. My biggest pet peeve, when dealing with contractors, is lack of communication and not getting back to me quickly. That was never an issue with Dave. They turned my hideous screened porch and not so functional deck into my dream, back yard, living space. I couldn't recommend more!

We had a big job with lots of pieces, and Outdoor Advantage was able to schedule us quickly. They installed underground downspout drainage to prevent erosion, removed & replaced rotten timbers on a retaining wall, spread loads of mulch, and reseeded eroded lawn. The crew was professional, showed up on time, and cleaned up each day. They checked with us to make sure we were satisfied and came out again to correct a couple of things. The price was about what we expected for all the work.

DON'T LET THESE PEOPLE NEAR YOUR TREES! I cannot stress this enough. They completely ruined 6 mature trees on the property, cut away to many lower branches and destroyed the aesthetics of the trees and the whole property. When I told them about it they completely ignored me. Plus they charged an exorbitant amount of money - $4000 to ruin the trees and the property value. Like the other review says, PICK SOMEONE ELSE TO DO ANY TREE WORK!
