What recent reviews say

Sublime divides sharply: half of reviewers praise Josh's design skill and crew diligence on complex projects, with some returning customers over two decades. The other half report Josh's rudeness and serious structural problems-unpermitted work, material failures, and incomplete fixes-suggesting inconsistent quality control and communication.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: Recent one-star reviews (3-4 months ago) cite rude behavior by founder Josh; older five-star reviews (6 years back) are uniformly positive, suggesting recent interpersonal or operational decline.</shifts> </invoke>

Praised for
  • design vision and quality craftsmanship
  • crew attention to detail and care
  • on-time project completion
  • responsive and personable service with loyal customers
Watch-outs
  • founder Josh unprofessional and rude with some customers
  • poor communication or misunderstood job requirements
  • structural/material flaws (wrong wood, leaks, electrical redo)
  • lack of permitting and inspection oversight
skilled-crewpoor-communicationattention-to-detailresponsivegreat-design-ideasreliable
Best for: Homeowners seeking detailed custom patio and hardscape design who can navigate initial discussions diplomatically.
Think twice if: Request project manager or coordinator (Amy) instead of direct contact with Josh; require full permit and inspection before starting work.

Strengths

  • strong design eye and personalized recommendations
  • detailed execution on complex outdoor structures
  • long-term customer relationships

Worth knowing

  • Founder Josh personally oversees design and selects materials (e.g., handpicked succulents)
  • Coordinator Amy praised as professional and helpful
  • Some projects span years; others completed ahead of schedule
  • One customer reported wrong wood type (pine instead of outdoor-grade) leading to future rot risk
  • Unpermitted work and roof leaks documented in one project
  • Electrician had to redo wiring on outdoor kitchen install

Over 13 years, this drainage specialist has built trust by solving foundation and backyard flooding with French drains, retaining walls, and stone work. Crews arrive early, finish fast, and treat homeowners fairly; the owner Kyle sets a culture of honesty that stands out against contractors who upsell unnecessary work. One long-term customer struggled to reach them two years later for artificial turf issues, and a few note drainage is their strength over pure landscaping design.
