Review from the above retaining wall client:

"When I first began looking for estimates on a hardscape project I ran into many willing and capable companies to work with, but it wasn't until I met with Sunny (project manager) at Designs 4 You that changed all that. Their business model is all around the customer and that is what set them apart from the others. My project was installing a 53 ft retaining wall with steps with terrace in my back yard, it was to be phase 1 of 3. I wanted a reasonable price with good quality and I believe that is what I got from Sunny and his team. Right off the bat they offered a discount in combination with their comparable rates. They also offer a longer warranty than most, they educate you on the process (I learned so much more I didn't know before), they back up their word with a contractor's bond, they work with your budget and really try to emphasize a long term relationship with you the consumer. Sunny was instrumental in the whole process and kept in communication with me at all times making sure things were to our liking and ensured his team understood what needed to be done. Jonathan (the owner) really listened to what we wanted to accomplish and was willing to work with our budgets and timelines on pricing. It didn't feel transactional, but instead working with Designs 4 You felt like I was their only customer."
