Outdoor Escapes

I've used Matt and his crew for about 10 years and have recommended them many time to neighbors family and friends. They are always helpful, responsive and respectful. It's hard to find that sort of consistency coupled with good work. I just had a new project completed and could not be more pleased. Thanks to Matt and the crew. they worked so hard on such a hot day. I appreciate all you do.

Matt and his crew did a great job installing a drain system below ground, in our front yard. Solved the moisture problem in our basement. The last few days of heavy rains proved that the system works. There was no debris or trash when finished and they left the yard in great shape. Pretty amazing!

Outdoor Escapes has done multiple projects on my properties including but not limited to trees, snow removal, dirt work, retaining walls and concrete. We appreciate all the hard work the do and how respectful they are to others property. Every project has been done in a timely and tidy manner.

Couldn't ask for a better experience! We were planning for an outdoor wedding and these guys came to rescue. They did all the landscaping in the front, the sodding, and this beautiful "serenity garden". They had a tight window to get the work done.and met all their deadlines. These guys worked hard and were a pleasure to have around!

Outdoor Escapes installed a dry creek bed in my backyard and did an excellent job. Everyone that see's my backyard always compliments me on the beautiful landscaping Matt did. Plan on using his services on future projects.

Outdoor Escapes refurbished our playground area at our lakehouse. This involved removal of old pea gravel, adding weed barrier and placing new pea gravel down. What a great job and what a relief that was to be able to enjoy the area without constantly pulling weeds all year long! Thank you!

Our experience with Outdoor Escapes was outstanding. Matt was extremely knowledgeable and patient with us during the design phase of the project. He listened to what we wanted and designed a space which exceeded our expectations. His crew was professional and courteous during the construction phase. Even after the project was finished, Matt and crew worked with us to ensure we were completely satisfied with the final product. Can't say enough great things about them!

A-MA-ZING! I had a hard time finding a landscaper. I called several places (google search) before Outdoor Escapes was referred to me by Colonial Nursery (who knew Colonial didn't offer landscaping?). Matt and I met to discuss what I wanted done. Matt then drew up a beautiful design for my yard and sent it to me along with the bid. The weather didn't cooperate for a long time but Matt and his crew were finally able to start in last week.

I had Outdoor Escapes remove my DIY attempt at laying borders and my old, out of style bushes. Then the transformation began! Outdoor Escapes added French drains to my lower backyard where I had problems with standing water from rains; graded and seeded my yard; addressed downspout drainage; created a couple of tree rings and beautifully installed edgestone, plants and MO Rainbow rock around my house, and created and installed a firepit area.

I couldn't be more pleased with the result. Matt was great to work with and his crew "ROCK"ed! Matt and his crew were great to work with and did an absolutely amazing job. I love my Outdoor Escape!

We bought a house that had neglected, extravagant, landscaping. Matt and Outdoor Escapes did an amazing job cleaning it up, removing unwanted trees/bushes and replacing mulch. They are helping us get our grass in good condition too!

They completely transformed the landscaping around our house, and we couldn't be happier. Our landscaping was such an eyesore with weeds galore and drainage issues, and now we get so many compliments on our landscaping. I tell everyone who did the work. They are so easy to work with and all around nice people. We will definitely be calling them again for another landscaping project.

We have hired Outdoor Escapes for 2 projects. One was a pretty massive transformation of our back yard! Matt and his crew were awesome from start to finish. We plan to have them bid another job for us in the spring!

After obtaining several quotes for the project we ultimately decided to use Outdoor Escapes for our projects. Many of the other contractors were focused on just the patio with no landscaping or lavish landscaping with minimal patio features. Matt listened to what we wanted and brought us a design that we loved that was also well within our budget.

Matt and his team at Outdoor Escapes have completed several landscaping projects at our home. They are professional, dependable and the quality of work is unmatched. We've received may compliments from our neighbors and friends and we wouldn't think about hiring anyone else to do our landscape work.

Matt and his crew are a pleasure to work with. They are professional, thorough and reasonably priced. I began by asking Matt to do a long range plan for me years ago. The team planted flowers, shrubs, and ornamental trees along the entire front (ranch style) and both sides of my house.

We've had them work on landscaping projects 3 times in the last 2 years at our corner house, which had a problem yard when we bought it. We needed to terrace it in order to make it easier to mow and to create better patio spaces.

Matt Smith is an honest, hard-working expert at what he does. His team solved a drainage and water problem in my backyard. My project required extensive hand-digging and they left my yard in great condition (with better drainage).

Outdoor Escapes did a good job on the hardscaping in my yard, but I was not satisfied with the landscaping. The job got pushed farther into the fall than the original agreed-upon date. When I asked about postponing putting in new plants until spring I was assured that it should be done now.
