After reading HomeStars reviews and working with another company to complete the design and obtain quotes, I signed on with Matt & Ryan in March 2021. The work was completed in late September. This was a few weeks later than originally planned but it was well worth the wait! Doing all the work themselves, in 2 weeks they transformed the front of our home.

Both Matt & Ryan did exceptional work, were pleasant and patient with my questions and requests. I am very detail oriented and therefore have high expectations and they delivered. In addition to high quality work, they cleaned up well every day and kept me informed if they were not able to come due to the weather. They also altered their scheduled work to finish the driveway borders before the other work when my paving contractor wanted to come on the Saturday a couple days before they were going to be finished.

I highly recommend Land Escapes Durham! Thanks Matt & Ryan!

Cannot recommend Land Escapes Durham enough. We only had a general idea of what we wanted to complete our backyard transformation and what was designed and delivered was better than anything we could have imagined. The attention to detail from concept to completed design has resulted in a retaining wall and walkway that is not only functional but something that blends into and enhances our rural property. Our friends cannot believe the transformation. I am already thinking of a reason to get them back for another project. Thanks so much guys!

I would highly recommend these guys and definitely will use them again if we decide to work on other areas! Right from the beginning we knew we were in good hands. They listen to our ideas, and offer sound advice. Everyone was done well: grading, privacy screen, patio stones, electrical for our hot tub, and the landscaping too! They were professional and worked hard while they were here. Ryan and Matt turned our sad, messy, dirty patch of a backyard into our little patio oasis!

Very hard to express in words the complete satisfaction with working Ryan & Matt. Land Escapes Durham are a top notch company to have on any of your projects. We had two areas in the front and back of our house that needed a little work done and they knocked it out completely. From start to finish they were very easy to work with, explaining and answering any questions along the way. Without any hesitation we would choose Land Escapes Durham for any future projects. Well done!

We can't express how happy we are to have chosen Land Escapes Durham for our landscaping job! Ryan and his brother Matt were a perfect pair. Right from the beginning Ryan was attentive, professional, detailed, thorough and creative. He was able to work with us within our budget and made changes along the way without any issues. During our construction we noticed the smallest details in their work and love how they didn't cut any corners. It didn't feel like the job was rushed. We plan to use them again in future projects, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!

Ryan and Matt upgraded our railings on our backyard deck, replaced the steps and changed our Interlocking in the front of our house.
They did an amazing job, we love it. Thank you Ryan and Matt.

Ryan and Matt did an amazing job on my backyard patio!! We couldn’t be more pleased with the entire process and end result. Everything from the initial consultation, design and construction was extremely professional. Absolutely a pleasure to work with and we are already planning phase two and will definitely have Land Escapes Durham for the job!

Ryan & Matt are just simply amazing to work with and I've never been more impressed by any other contractor. They are professional, open minded, hard working and dedicated to perfection. Ryan is super patient considering all the questions and concerns I pushed his way during the planning phase and he always had an answer to help the project come together. They took our home and gave it the wow factor. I'm waiting to finish some work around the porch but will post some pictures. I would recommend these gentleman to anybody! Exceptional team that will turn your dream project into reality and I'm looking to bring them back next spring for another job.

We used Land Escapes Durham for our Backyard Patio and Retaining Wall project, we couldn't have made a better decision. First we met with Chris who helped us design our new Patio, select the stone and presented us with three estimates. That's how we picked Ryan and Matt at Land Escapes Durham. Chris was in constant communication with us before, during and after the project completion. We could get in touch with Chris and Ryan at any time day or night and they would always answer our question right away. Ryan and Matt's attention to detail and the exceptional quality of workmanship was far more than we expected. Both take tremendous pride in their work and it shows throughout the project. Ryan and Matt worked 10 hour days and never did we see them take breaks. They were very respectful of our property and cleaned up the site at the end of each day. It was an absolute pleasure having Ryan and Matt work for us.
We used to look at our backyard and found excuses not to go out there but Ryan and Matt transformed our backyard into a new living space. Now we use it every time we get a chance and we added to the resale value of our house. We highly recommend Land Escapes Durham and we will be using them for any work we need done in the future.
Thank you Chris, Ryan and Matt

Ryan and Matt showed great care and attention to detail from beginning to end. Ryan did a great design (drawing first, so we could see what things would look like), helped us pick the steps and stones best suited for what we wanted, and did a great job excavating, leveling, and laying the stonework, steps, and sod with minimal waste. They cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day, and we are thrilled with the final result. Highly recommend!
