“What a great experience overall. They transformed our outdoor space. Matt and his team were great. They made sure we were completely satisfied before taking the final payment. He has also been around to answer a few follow-up questions and add some details to our outdoor kitchen after completion. Highly recommend!”
“We called Clark Outdoor Designs and Bailey came out to give us an estimate. Did some research and looked at some of his teams work and knew they were going to be the ones for the job. Two days and they were done. Such attention to detail and the finished product is amazing. Only wish I would have chosen them for the fence as well.”
“We had a good experience with Clark Outdoor Designs. They provided computer images of what the final result would look like – we have worked with several larger contractors and no one has ever provided renderings like that so it made a difference in our choice. He was patient in answering our questions and re-working the estimate until we landed on exactly what we wanted.”
