  Miracle workers!! I cannot recommend Backyard Bros enough! They are professional, responsive, efficient, and meticulous. Overall just masters of their craft! My husband and I bought a 125 year old fixer-upper 2 years ago with a small and severely neglected backyard. The before pictures don't show truly how horrifying it was. The yard was uneven, completely overgrown with weeds, broken and mismatched pavers; there was a 4-foot drop-off 6-feet from the back fence with a collapsing retaining wall that only went partially across the property. The drainage on the house was not properly routed which caused water damage in the basement and must have damaged the yard because the previous owners put down a 7x10 foot turf rug in its place. Visually, the yard was an embarrassment. The backyard neighbors even planted pine trees to block their view of our yard before we bought it. More importantly, it was incredibly unsafe. I nearly twisted my ankle just walking out there when we were first looking at the house. I wouldn't even let our dogs go out there, let alone our children. When Jose came for our consultation, he completely understood our vision for the space and talked us through exactly how he would make that a reality. The team just finished the job yesterday and it is even better than we imagined! Our yard is now a beautifully manicured oasis. They did such an incredible job that it looks like it was always well cared for. Looking at the final product, you would never know how much work they put in; truly a flawless job! The team built a beautiful and sturdy retaining wall, backfilled the drop-off, leveled and graded the yard, reinforced the posts and put the fence back up, installed a proper drainage system that routes away from the house, removed several metal chain-link fence posts, laid sod and designed a gorgeous Cambridge paving stone patio. We could not be more thrilled with the job they did. We will eventually updated the front yard and redo the driveway and we greatly look forward to working with Backyard Bros again. Thank you guys for everything!

  Backyard Bros were a pleasure to work with on my pool project here in Scotch Plains. From start to finish they did an excellent job communicating and showing up when they said they would. The work was very well done and they also accomodated a couple changes along the way. The project included our pool pavers and coping, site prep and grading, water mitigation (french drain and drywells), fencing, and landscape lighting. Jose and Javier are great guys and will do whatever it takes to make your project a success.

  Unreliable and Zero Communication We decided to go with this company because we had seen their work before, and the quality looked great. Unfortunately, while the workmanship may be good, this company has zero respect for their customers’ time. We signed a large contract for our backyard, fence, front walkway, and driveway. During the initial consultation, we were told they had a large crew and would be able to start at the end of May. After we signed the contract, the timeline suddenly changed to sometime in June. Then communication became almost nonexistent. We had to repeatedly reach out just to get a response. At the end of May, we were finally told to choose our colors and materials, which we did immediately. After that, we heard nothing again. After multiple calls and messages, he eventually responded and said he would check his schedule and get back to us—but he never did. Once again, we had to chase him down. Eventually, he confirmed they would start on June 22nd or 23rd. About a week before the scheduled start date, I reached out to confirm everything and ask how payment should be made. Again, there was no response until I followed up several more times. He finally replied, confirmed the June 22nd–23rd start date, and told us to have the payment ready. We took time off work, made sure the payment was ready, and prepared our home for the project to begin. No one ever showed up. There was no phone call, no text, and no explanation. I had to call him myself, and only then was I told it was because of the rain. While weather delays happen, the complete lack of communication is unacceptable. Customers should not have to take time off work and then chase a contractor just to find out why nobody showed up. Before you sign the contract, they are responsive, friendly, and talk about having a “big crew.” After the contract is signed, communication disappears, deadlines are missed, and you are left waiting with no updates. The quality of their work may be good, but reliability, communication, and respect for customers’ time are just as important. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this company.

  I reached out to a few contractors. When we met with Jose @ Backyard Bros, he had a creative mind for what we wanted. He listened to our needs and came up with a plan. From start to finish, Backyard Bros were absolutely amazing. We love our completed project and would definitely use them again. Highly recommended!!
