I am pulling my hair out trying to find a good landscaper to finish my backyard. Has anyone had a good experience with a local (Reno) landscape company?

Thanks for any replies.

That's pretty expensive for a bunch of concrete.

<-- wants a paved backyard for car parking purposes.

My friend Allan does that on the side..does a good job and is affordable..all depends on what you need done. Last summer he did a yard next to one of or LT's home..He wanted him to do his yard also..that and he did most of the block in his neighborhood.

I just used Arrow last year or so to do my entire front yard down to bare dirt and back up. They were the least expensive, the easiest to work with, and did fairly good work. Not perfect, but pretty good.
