If you're going to do landscaping, how about don't block an entire section of cars, leaving them incapable of leaving.

Many thanks to First Impressions Landscaping. Although the amount of time our job would take was underestimated by the foreman, the crew was great. Pat worked so hard and ended up laying the sod by himself and cutting and placing over 100 stones for our new patio area.

Needed to redo entire backyard and after doing a few estimates, First Impressions came in with the lowest bid. Matt and his crew were very professional, respectful and Matt was always available through email.

Bryan Tennant came out to our home, asked pertinent questions to get a good idea of what we were looking for. He had great suggestions to help us create a beautiful backyard. Once we accepted his very reasonable quote, he and his crew came out within the week and in two days installed a 4 zone sprinkler system, created planters with decorative mounds and laid sod. Bryan and his crew were professional, friendly, and informative throughout. Thank You Landscapes NW :
