As a new homeowner, we can say the landscaping and decking done by Dekorte's (hired by our builder) is excellent. The landscaping crew headed by Stephen were pleasant, and great to deal with - they did incredible work (in inclement weather) - and always had a smile. And Alex running the deck / stairs project was also super helpful and did beautiful work (in inclement weather!). Would highly recommend.

We just recently had our driveway done and they did a wonderful job. Eric the owner was on site working along with his staff. Very professional and the quality of workmanship is top notch. Even after a rain storm some of the sand washed away in our interlocking driveway Eric came back and added more. We would definitely recommend them. Worth every penny. Thank you Eric and team

Just recently had my backyard re done by Dekorte's. They came on time on the day, removed all the sod; leveled the entire area and re seeded. They did an excellent job and it only took the morning.
