We just finished an install with the crew of Augie, Ayden and Danny. They are the hardest working crew and due to the layout of our yard they had some pretty back breaking work to do.They never complained, where always pleasant and cleaned up at the end of each day. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Overall Drab to Fab is a great company to work with. Kurt and Alec believe in satisfied Happy Customers and will go the extra mile. I can now see why when I was checking their reviews before signing the contract they had all great reviews. Very stand up company and something you do not always found these days.
Drab to Fab did an outstanding job on our landscaping. They were timely, well organized, respectful of our property, courteous, and professional. We are doing our large yard in three phases to become more water efficient and we will be using Kurt and his company for all our work and we look forward to phase two next year. Phase one was the removal of all the grass and shrubs in our front yard. It also was the removal of grass around our patio and leveling the ground for the flagstone. We had a problem with heavy rains flooding our patio and they created a drainage system that leads to a stream bed and overflow into the street gutter. We asked for drought resistant plants and they provided us a wide variety. They have set us up with a maintenance plan to ensure the plants thrive. Our property was spotless when they were finished and we got all our windows professionally cleaned.
I loved working with Alec, Kurt, and their whole team!! They're reliable, reasonably priced, detail-oriented, and understood my vision. They transformed my front yard in just a few days, and I couldn't be happier! They installed weed barrier, a drip system, river rock, DG, and drought-resistant plants. And they put rock in my backyard too, but I don't have any photos. You won't regret hiring Drab to Fab, if you want quality work, they're the ones to hire!
Drab to Fab did an excellent work on our front yard. What had been a rocky expanse of weeds is now a nice native plants garden! Their team was wonderful to work with every day and they were happy to answer my questions along the way so I learned quite a bit. Kurt and Alec are great! They worked with our landscape designer to get our project installed exactly how we wanted it. All of their suggestions worked out wonderfully. We're so grateful for their help!
Kurt and Alec are fabulous humans, who are amazing at what they do! They came over for a consultation, and we had a general idea of what we needed/wanted but really left it open to them for creative license! They had amazing ideas that they brought to life, and everything is thriving! Over time, we had about three plants that weren’t doing very well due to the heat, so they went and got new ones and replaced them once the heat wave was over. The new ones are now thriving! They worked quickly and efficiently and did the project in the time they said it would be completed (2 days!) They are extremely professional, creative, and responsive. They were always one text away before, during, and after, and are still checking in on us to see how things are doing. They now feel like great friends, and we plan to use them whenever we have landscaping needs! Thank you, Kurt and Alec!
