Thoughtful front yard design improves curb appeal and visual balance, creates a welcoming entry experience, enhances driveway and walkway flow, and helps solve grading, drainage, and access issues. When planned as part of a full renovation, your front yard becomes a polished, structured extension of your home that increases resale appeal, daily functionality, and long-term property value — not just an outdoor space.

Posted on Animesh AnandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moh and Aboud did a fantastic job removing our above-ground pool and decking. They were professional and polite over the phone, and the results speak for themselves. They completely transformed the backyard. The grading is perfectly level where the pool used to be, and the new sod looks seamless. They also left the site incredibly clean, removing all the old debris. Highly recommend them for anyone looking to reclaim their backyard space!Posted on Refill MyglassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With guidance from Moe, Mauricio and the crew did a first-rate job re-landscaping my yard over three weeks including removal of the old trees, shrubs and overburden and replacing it with new hardscaping, shrubbery, sod and accent plants. The crew was extremely hardworking and pleasant at all times and adapted easily to slight scope changes. They were a joy to employ. Moe is a very good leader and manager and supremely ethical in all his dealings. Would recommend Oakly unreservedly.Posted on Paul FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a small retaining wall and a new fence with gate installed. The workers were excellent, they were polite and kept the work area very neat and tidy. We are very pleased with the work.Posted on Norma SolomonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are quite impressed and grateful with this landscaping team! Hard-working, organized and so easy to work with. Not completed yet, but beautiful results already!Posted on Kinga GizziTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oakly landscaping did an amazing job! They were professional, creative, and detail-oriented from start to finish. My yard looks incredible, and they made the whole process easy and stress-free. Highly recommend!Posted on Jason MeneguzziTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oakly did a fantastic job. I had about a foot and a half drop in my backyard and they came, graded the grass and placed all new sod. The workers were friendly and hard working. All work was coordinated well from the irrigation company of the sprinkler system to the concrete people for the shed base. However, they did forget to do many things that they talked about. Like remove the concrete borders, add lots of mulch around the trees and to fertilize the grass. You will have to be on top of them to fully complete the job.Posted on Maurice CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Oakly is a great company to work with. From my first meeting with Moh, I could tell he took pride in the work his company does. Mauricio and crew did a fantastic job on the interlock walkway and were accommodating when a slight tweak had to be done. Moh was there ever day to check up on the progress and to address any concerns. I will definitely use Oakly again and I recommend them to anyone looking to have landscaping work done. Update: Sept 2/25 I had Oakly out for yard maintenance back in the spring and again today, and both times they did an outstanding job. The spring cleanup left me with the cleanest yard on the street — it was such a nice surprise to come home to. Today, they tackled all the overgrown shrubs and ornamental grasses and completely transformed my backyard. It feels like I got my space back! Their work is always thorough and professional, and I’ll continue to recommend them to friends and neighbors. Already thinking about what project I can tackle with them next!Posted on W McCTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This team of landscapers had a challenging job at my property. They came first thing in the morning on the day they told me they were coming, and did a thorough and excellent job of removing a vast array (some might call it a jungle) of overgrown bushes, weeds and small trees in front yard and back. They worked efficiently, but they also took time to consult with me and implemented all of my requests. I was very favourably impressed with Oakly and will definitely get them back for more regular upkeep.Posted on Nigel LoboTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a good experience with excellent results working with Oakly Landscape and Construction for our exterior stone hardscape project. We highly recommend their company. The project consisted of using a large stones for our back patio under our deck and some of our backyard creating a patio 20ft x 35ft. Solid steps leading down the side of the house to the walkout basement. The front of the house with both sides of the driveway done in a herringbone pattern with pavers to accommodate a car if needed. The front porch completed in natural stone and two flower boxes in front of our porch and around the front tree. Moh and his very hard working team, Faris, Mauricio, Kaleb & Christian who absolutely did a fantastic job creating the vision we had for the exterior of our home. Moh we want to thank you and your team for the quality work, efficient installation, good customer service and completing the work within the time frame we discussed. We will enjoy the beautiful work for many years to come. Nigel & DianaPosted on Ray BestavrosTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a major project to completely redo my back yard to remove an incredible amount of old patio stones, falling over retaining walls, a very large wooden shed that was taking up way too much prime real estate of the patio, overgrowth of trees and bushes and the grading of the back yard was off significantly as well. I received several quotes and ideas as to what can be done, what would be nice to do, what cannot be done and what must be done. all the contractors leaned heavily on what cannot be done except Mohammed from Oakly. He came with great ideas and approaches to suit my budget. he made the most sense. While others pushed me to redo the back yard the same way and avoided removing a dying wooden shed, Moh took a much more sensible, pragmatic and modern approach to the renovation. But that really is only the beginning of my good experience. I am pretty hard nosed negotiator and hard to please as I am familiar with most of what was needed to get done. But being in my 60's, I have done many projects and hired many many contractors and in all my years I have never ever seen a company run so well, efficiently and proficiently. I was always kept up to date on every aspect at all times. I watched the workers work all day long and I could not believe how diligent each one was. How professional that managed the coordination of communication, work and managing the demolition and getting supplies from Oakly trucks as soon as needed. They coordinated 2 bins on my property at a time with great efficiency to remove probably 1.5 feet of dirt, 5 million (exaggerating) patio stones, trees, shrubs, a Gazebo and the 10X12 wooden shed i had. Trucks coming to replace those full bins with empty one 3 times over. Their work and new patio was unbelievably laser level to my eye, sloped and graded properly. "Perfection" as my wife says even though she fought me hard not to do this project but she is delighted now. I have already recommended and connected Oakly to a family member and a neighbor. I would not even consider another contractor for other house projects because I have seen just how much more professional and customer service oriented Oakly is compared to the competition. This is without a doubt a top tier professional contractor that produces remarkable results and this is clearly apparent with every single person you come in to contact with at Oakly. I am absolutely delighted with the full project, from the brand new much larder patio, the new relocated platform for the smaller shed, the nice, clean and minimal maintenance garden along the back to the sod placement and electrical hook ups. It was a very gratifying and amazing experience to do this project with Oakly Landscaping. Thanks to Mohamed and the professional team at Oakly.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
