  • Robert Thomas Landscapes did an excellent job coming up with a design and executing. I had a pretty basic idea of what I wanted and Larry drew something up that was far nicer than I had ever pictured possible. They started the project earlier than estimated. The crew worked rain or shine. There was never anyone standing around. I was briefed daily by Larry or Corey about what was going to happen that day and timelines. At least three of my neighbors have asked me to get a card or flyer for them. I definitely plan on using them again for the many design projects that I have planned for the future.

  • Larry and his team did a great job on our landscaping project. Larry had great vision for the project and he and his team did what they said and when they said which is a rare thing these days. The outcome was beautiful. I would definitely recommend Robert Thomas Landscape Environments to everyone!

  • The team at Robert Thomas did an amazing job on our beach and backyard landscaping. Justin shared a strong point of view up front on how to make the project happen within our budget. (this was something that other companies we talked with lacked) The team was extremely professional and great to work with throughout the entire job. The project was completed on time and exceeded our expectations. Thanks for the awesome work guys!

  • We hired Robert Thomas to replace a rotting cedar deck with pavers and to build a limestone retaining wall and knee wall to match the existing landscape design. The crew arrived on schedule and worked quickly and deliberately, they were obviously very experienced. Justin was very flexible and worked with us to make some last minute changes to the design as we began to see the progress and how it would play out. We ended up extending the patio to make it larger. My wife loves the new patio and we are both very happy with the results. Attached are a couple of pictures taken right after the project was completed before plants were added. It is now a lush natural looking area, We were very happy with Robert Thomas in all aspects of the project from design to completion.

  • The project was completed under budget (which was already much less than any other of the quotes I received), ahead of schedule, and beyond our expectations. The attention to detail, the line of communication, the professionalism, and just old-fashioned commitment and hard work from start to finish with Robert Thomas Landscaping was amazing. I would STRONGLY recommend RTLE to anyone and will be using them again for future projects.
