From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, they were professional, reliable, and incredibly thorough. The new landscape--with lush plantings, an improved irrigation system, and beautiful boulders--looks fantastic and has completely transformed our yard. Steve was on-site with his crew every day, ensuring every plant was placed precisely and the boulders were within a 1/16 inch of perfection. He has an amazing eye for creating a soft, rhythmic feel in the landscape. The crew arrived on time, paid close attention to detail, and left the work area spotless each day. Communication was excellent--clear estimates, thoughtful design ideas, and prompt updates. It's clear they take pride in their craftsmanship. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space.

As issues came up (permit delays, grumpy neighbor, too tall chair ordered on my part), they helped us navigate it all and offered support even when they didn't need to The subcontractors they used to dig, build a large retaining wall, install turf, build the patio, install the pergola, and lay lots and lots of rocks were wonderful--nice, patient, and hard-working. The whole team even took an old playhouse and redesigned it safely for our kids on the hill. Matt's design, attention to detail, and the time he took with our project was above and beyond. He answered every call and text quickly. I couldn't have asked for more. I've already recommended SD3D to all of my neighbors, and recommend them for small or large projects.

He explained to me that they only provide this service to clients that they have provided turf for. He then went on to refer me to two landscape companies near my home where we could purchase the infill and the broom to do the maintenance ourselves. He willingly spent about ten minutes helping me, and was so friendly and nice. When we are ready to have more landscape work done, I will definitely be calling Install It Direct.

I am posting this update as a severe safety warning to anyone considering Installing Direct. Since…read moremy initial review, a catastrophic and life-threatening incident has occurred. The fire pit installed by this company exploded into my girlfriend's face. We had an independent professional company come out to inspect the unit and the gas line. Their findings were shocking: the gas connection was completely loose. This negligence allowed gas to build up inside the fire pit structure, which caused it to explode upon ignition. Because of the physical injuries sustained and the absolute gross negligence regarding a gas installation, we are now taking this company to litigation. If you value the safety of your home and your family, stay far away from this business. A "loose connection" on a gas line is not just a mistake--it is a deadly hazard. We are currently in the process of legal action to hold them accountable for the damage and trauma they have caused. Zero stars. Avoid at all costs.

The finished product is genuinely a 10/10, the design, layout, attention to detail, and overall quality of the work exceeded our expectations. What impressed us just as much as the final result was the entire experience getting there. Ronnie met with me numerous times to walk through details, answer questions, make sure everything was exactly how we wanted it, and accommodate plenty of little changes along the way without ever making it feel like a burden. His communication and flexibility were incredible. His crew was equally impressive, professional, respectful, hardworking, and clearly takes a ton of pride in what they do. They were even able to start earlier than originally planned and finished ahead of schedule, which was a huge help for us during an already hectic home build. Ronnie also went above and beyond in ways he absolutely did not have to, including a very thoughtful gift for my wife and me at the end of the project. That kind of personal touch says a lot about the way he runs his business and treats his customers. We've worked with a lot of different contractors throughout our build, and Ronnie and his team truly stand out. The craftsmanship is outstanding, the service was exceptional, and the entire process could not have gone better. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering pavers or a driveway project. Thank you Ronnie and the entire crew, you guys absolutely crushed it!

I would highly recommend this business.

I had to kick another company out of my house because they wanted to spend 2 hours giving me a weirdo slide show to upsell me. Not my style lol. James basically said hello, measured, and gave pricing within 30 minutes. I knew that moment I wanted to hire them ... but it gets better! Everything was clear and concise. Nu Wave offered the best material with excellent warranties - both workmanship and manufacturer warranties. Nu Wave's pricing was extraordinarily fair compared to the other 3 bids I had prior. You can tell they care to give clients the best options. Something my husband and I, as new homeowners, were super grateful to find. The install went SUPER smooth! Everything from the removal, to the irrigation, to the install, and even the clean up. Their crews were super nice and respectful. They were in and out in less than a week. They worked hard in the blazing sun - so we made sure to give the crews water and lunch daily for their tireless effort to help us turn our house into a home. When I say James was responsive .. this man was R E S P O N S I V E!!! He showed up to check in almost daily, and always made sure answer our calls or call back ASAP if myself or my husband had questions. We are now 2 months post project, and he still responds to questions/suggestions we ask about for planting, etc. I 10000% recommend Nu Wave. As someone that is very Experienced with working with contractors and manufacturers regularly, Nu Wave is the best!! I dare someone to try and prove otherwise. ;)
