My wife and I had an idea to improve our backyard with earth moving and landscaping to allow our family to better enjoy our home and outdoor space. Kevin listened to our ideas and came up with a well thought out plan that we discussed together. Kevin communicated costs, time frame, and potential challenges with us throughout the process and proceeded to complete the job in a timely and professional manner. We could not have been happier with his attention to detail and desire to do the job right. Kevin was great to work with throughout the process of completing the job and has followed up with us to ensure we remain happy with his work. Kevin increased our enjoyment of our living space and we are grateful to him for his great service. I would recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a competent and conscientious partner, big project or small. We love the result he provided us.

KJ's Greenthumb LLC did a landscaping project in my front yard, which required building a stone wall and relocating the front steps and sidewalk. I had a vague idea of what I wanted and Kevin had several ideas for the redesign yet he gave me plenty of options for my input. He was a great at keeping me informed as to the timetable to complete the job as the was not cooperative. Once we got started, the job was done in very good time. Kevin started very promptly in the mornings and he did a great job of keeping the area picked up as much as possible when leaving in the afternoon. He was very adaptable and able to adjust little things along the way as needed. The cost of the completed work was very comparable with the rough estimate he gave me at the beginning of the project. I am very pleased with the work and would definitely use Kj's Greenthumb Landscaping again.

Great job Kevin! Our garage addition tore up a large portion of our yard and left us with a 2.5 ft drop off from our new driveway to our yard. We had checked with Cedar River Garden Center about landscaping. They were full up for landscaping jobs, but they gave us Kevin's card. We called him. He explained that he had several jobs and it could be 6 weeks (or longer depending on weather) before he could get to our job. It was worth the wait! He came over in a couple of days to see what we wanted and give us an estimate. He gave us great ideas without being pushy, or completely changing our basic concept. He is mainly a one man show, but had a summer hire for part of the work. They worked extremely hard and very meticulously to make sure the retaining wall was perfectly done and it is beautiful! His prep work for the sod was so professionally done that when he laid the sod it was almost impossible to tell where it meets up with the rest of our yard. He patiently coordinated with our irrigation company to let them install the new sprinklers needed and fix the prior system. I highly recommend him to anyone needing landscaping work. In fact, while he was working on our project one man from a few blocks away was so impressed that he came over to get one of his cards to see about him doing some retaining wall work for him. Also, one of our neighbors, who is a contractor, liked his work and got one of Kevin's card to see about having him do some work for one of his projects.

We are very pleased with the new brick patio Kevin helped design and install. What was once a simple cement patio is now an inviting outdoor extension of living space for our family to gather and enjoy. From adding sitting walls to lighting, Kevin listened to our ideas and offered helpful suggestions throughout the entire process. He is reliable, and an extremely hard and thorough worker, who gives great attention to detail. Kevin does all he can to please the owners with quality work. He even went above and beyond by being so kind to our dog by sharing dog treats with him, and throwing the ball to him. We highly recommend Kevin for your patio and landscaping needs.

I am so glad there are still some honest and hard working people in this world. I consider Kevin to be one of those people! Kevin is very easy to work with and will explain every step of the process. I did not know Kevin before we met but everything went smoothly start to finish. Kevin was always on time, usually early to the job site. I would highly recommend KJ's Green Thumb for any of your landscape needs.

First thanks Kevin for your hard work and job well done.
When we first called Kevin he was at our place within 24 hours to see what we wanted and offered suggestions. Soon after that meeting
he sent us an email with estimate and approximate date he could get started.
After accepting Kevins' bid we went over design again then to Kings to verify block and stones.
Once materials were ordered he started within the time frame he stated, which is hard to do considering supplier, weather & other unforeseen delays
1. Kevin was timely each day.
2. Always asking if to our liking as he went along.
3. Had materials like gravel, lime, sand and etc, ready for next day.
4. Always picked up before leaving & cleaned his equipment.
When completed he stopped by a week later to see if all was good & if we were satisfied.
Kevin is very polite,conscientious, and a communicator.
Thanks again Kevin for your job well done.

I'm very happy with the work Kevin's done for me. Most of it has been finishing the landscaping after other projects (retaining walls, city-installed sidewalks, concrete driveway) have been completed. This means he's great at fixing messes created by my lack of planning and other people's scheduling! He's also great at communicating throughout the project(s); offering a variety of options for me to consider and choose from; and following through with what we've agreed on. The results are wonderful. No more piecework look. Everything flows together and looks very finished. I plan to have Kevin work his magic on more messes around my property next spring.
