What do customers say?

Every review is five stars. Clients consistently praise John and his team for bringing genuine design thinking to outdoor projects, not just executing a stock idea. The crew (John, Eduardo, Bernardo, Gifford, Armando named repeatedly) delivers polished work in Douglas fir, cedar, and steel-with daily photo updates and meticulous cleanup. Projects finish on schedule and budget, and the team handles unexpected obstacles without complaint or cost creep.

Multiple reviewers note that BigDecks sources premium materials, executes custom details (steel planters, pergolas, limestone benches), and approaches each job with care that feels rare. The collaborative design process using renderings and their project management software earns consistent praise. Clients describe the experience as smooth and enjoyable, with a team that respects both the property and the homeowner's vision.

Reviewers on Google keep describing the crew as friendly, professional, and dependable. Owner Abe comes up often, with reviewers saying he answers quickly and talks through options before work starts. Many customers have used the company for years and say they would hire them again. Most of the recent praise covers lawn and yard upkeep: mowing, edging, cleanup, and rock installs around trees and flower beds. Several reviewers also praise the Christmas light work, saying the crew hangs and removes lights easily and fixes problems fast. Review text is limited to the most recent reviews, and none of them mention tree service specifically.
