It was such a pleasure working with Legacy. Nelson was right on time (which doesn't seem to happen at all any more) and his crew got my two jobs done in one day. I love the end result and couldn't be happier with what they did for me. I am looking forward to using Legacy again for projects next Spring.

I connected with Nelson on behalf of a client that I assisted to purchase a new home. After closing, they tore out all the trees and brush, landscaped, and laid down turf for her active children. It went from a completely unusable back yard to a kids paradise! She just called me yesterday to RAVE about her experience and said she cannot get her boys off the new turf filed. Nelson had wonderful ideas, customized it for my clients exact needs/timeline/budget, was extremely professional and reliable + a breeze to communicate with! So happy for my client and Highly recommend Legacy Outdoor Living to anyone!!
Details: Residential • New turf installation • Small area (500-1,000 sq ft) • Old grass or weeds • Landscape turf

Thanks Kelsey. So glad Liz and the boys are enjoying their new home and backyard. It was a challenge transforming the backyard but very rewarding.
Cheers,

Nelson was very quick to respond to questions, concerns, etc. He listened to what we wanted and transformed our desolate backyard to a perfect kid-friendly, low maintenance oasis! Would recommend to anyone considering turf. We loved all of his ideas, but our budget would only allow the turf this time around.

Nelson and his crew completely transformed our back yard and we could not have been more delighted by the process or the outcome. The Entire Legacy Crew were dedicated, hard working, polite and professional. The scope of the job included major concrete work, 2 retaining walls, sod installation, stone work, irrigation, in ground drainage and landscaping. All of this work was completed by Legacy in two short weeks. Nelson was "hands on" throughout the process and treated our job as if it were his own backyard. I can not say enough good things about our experience. Thank you Nelson and Legacy Outdoor Living for enhancing our home and for providing us with an outdoor space that we love are so very proud of.

Thank you for the kind review Kara,
I love projects like yours. It shows how with just a little creativity and some abstract ideas we can reclaim and re-establish a beautiful and functional backyard. And we didn’t need to spend a small fortune to do it.
Enjoy and thank you for trusting Legacy Outdoor Living with your backyard project.
Sincerely,
