S&B Scapes was awesome to work with. We had originally contacted them back in 2024 knowing that we would need some landscaping and hardscaping done after our deck was completed. Unfortunately our deck was significantly delayed in completion so we had to wait until 2025 to get the rest done. Mitch was understanding and followed through on contacting us and getting us on the schedule. He was also very aware of how we planned to tie the patio and deck together and made great suggestions in coordinating the stone used with the colors of the deck and the house. We presented him with a huge challenge of working on a water issue we have.
You can see in the "flood" photos how much water we get during bad downpours and one of the things that S&B did was install a French drain system to help alleviate this issue. It hasn't been thoroughly tested by mother nature yet, but based on the rest of the work done by them I am confident things will improve. The real issue is the drain to the holding reservoir in our neighborhood is overwhelmed by the amount of water and we are right on the corner of that drain so we take the brunt of the water.
The completed photos I have are right after completion so the grass had not quite recovered yet and the plants are still working on getting settled, but I can assure you today that after the overseeding and fertilizing by S&B along with the watering we did, all the grass is back to a healthy state, plants are looking good, and is actually one of the better looking lawns right now with the lack of rain our neighbors have had.
Our lead guy on the project was Keenan an he was a true workhorse! Keenan worked hard the entire day, not wasting a minute to get things done. He was there every day bright and early and the job was finished in a very timely manner. My wife and I could not be happier. Our last home we decided after about 18 years to do a patio and loved every minute of it, but we moved about 2 years after it was done. We promised ourselves that when we moved into a new home we would do the deck we wanted and the patio and landscaping we wanted immediately. If you are thinking about it, DO IT! You will not regret it and do it with S&B Scapes!

S&B did a retaining wall, planted almost 70 shrubs and trees and did planting bed preparation for our new house on a bare lot. The quality of their work and the materials they used were very high. They had creative approaches to unexpected problems that came up with the lot. They showed up when they said they would,
persisted through rainy periods and heat and were just very pleasant to talk to and get advice from. They beat their original estimate for the work and were flexible in letting us add work that came up in the process. We can’t recommend them more highly.

Blaise and Mitch were absolutely amazing to work with. From start to finish they were professional, timely and did great work. They did several projects for us including a patio and a wall. I highly recommend S&B and Blaise and Mitch for anything you need!

What started out as “Oh my goodness Aug 2020 took all our trees, what can we do?”…has become a grand on-going relationship with Mitch and Blaise of S&B Scapes.
We had no concept of what our yard could be. It was a destroyed forest. S&B helped us visualize the possibilities.
Their skills of listening, developing, and adjusting helped us to create an environment we will enjoy for many years to come.
Mitch and Blaise are very talented professionals. Their passion for the work they do is evident in the positive energy they bring every day.
