Tough Oaks Landscaping Ralph J. Young

Cynthia & Ralph did a great job for and we are very pleased with the results. The patio was well laid out and Ralph's attention to detail was appreciated . Really happy with the curved walkway. Ralph realigned our downspout and went above and beyond when hooking it up.

Removing the flagstone from the porch and replacing it with pavers wasn't easy job but it now looks great.

Going the extra depth on the base will ensure it will not move. Did a great job on the removal of a large mulberry tree and root system.

Daily cleanup of the work site was perfect and appreciated.

Overall very pleased and would definitely use them again.

We would like to say how absolutely pleased we are with our new front entrance - the design, quality and artistry of their work . It has added to the beauty of our home as well the function, safety and the feeling of welcome to our home is outstanding. The craftsmanship reflects the care that we wish to extend to friends, family and everyone else that may come to our home.

Ralph and Cynthia are approachable and professional, wonderful people who are environmentally conscious and follow strict environmental and industry guidelines which is greatly appreciated. We would strongly recommend to anyone with full trust in being fully satisfied with the artistry and work they do.

I am completely impressed with Tough Oaks Landscaping. They promptly and professionally repaired my entry stairs and landing which had not been properly installed initially. Over the years the slab steps were being pushed forward, everything was shifting, and the landing was sinking. The situation was difficult due to other features such as retaining walls and columns. Tough Oaks analyzed the situation and presented me with a number of options with clearly defined cost breakdowns. They kept me informed and completed the job quickly and thoroughly. They were highly professional, very personable and genuine. My stairs and landing are now secure and look better than new!

Ralph and his wife were on time did a great job at a reasonable price. Would highly recommend this company.

Fantastic experience with Ralph and Cynthia. They were diligent, informative, knowledgeable, and kept us apprised of everything throughout the entire project. They were fair and honest with costs and given the final result, we are incredibly happy we chose them to take on this project for us. The curb appeal of our home has undoubtedly increased thanks to Tough Oaks. Would absolutely recommend them for any landscaping project.

I really have nothing but great things to say about them. They were very professional, hard working but still took the time to stop and answer any questions I may have had or to update me with any changes and progress. My porch had prior water issues leaking in from the cold storage vent and Ralph made sure to correct that. The design he created suits the house perfectly.

I'm not very experienced with whole gardening thing and Ralph made suggestions that even I couldn't kill (Challenge accepted). I felt bad for them because the weather was not cooperating with them but they pushed on. There wasn't a single moment where I was worried they weren't going to show up - were trying to inflate the cost, or manipulate me into anything other than what we had agreed on. He was very open about everything and I respected that. I genuinely have nothing negative to say about them and I'd hire them again without hesitation.

We had Ralph and Paul at our place for about 8 weeks this past summer. The quality of their work is exceptional. Ralph really envisioned more than we could imagine, and worked with us to ensure our budget was respected, even though we kept asking them to do more and more. We are very pleased with the end result and have no hesitations whatsoever in recommending them. Their reputation for quality precedes them so book ahead to avoid being disappointed and to ensure you get these guys doing your job.

Ralph gave me a proper front entrance step. He also updated and improved our curb appeal by improving the wall and widening and updating the sidewalk.

I am very pleased with the work done by Ralph and looking forward to having more work done in the future.

Ralph (Tough Oaks) did a remarkable job on our front walkway. The walkway looks incredible, I have had people walk by and had only positive comments on the walkway. Ralph was very professional, gave us a couple of excellent options and the job site was always cleaned up at the end of the day. Our curb appeal is by far the best on our street. Can't wait to give Ralph his next project!

Working with tough Oaks was amazing!

Ralph and his team were courteous, friendly and always positive.

Through the initial stages of discussing budget and ideas Ralph listened and suggested and carried out the project exactly as he said he would.

At the end of every day the yard was tidied up and tools were taken away, the material and larger equipment was always kept contained.

As a result of this project (which was my first), I have asked Ralph to quote some work for the backyard.

I would highly recommend Tough Oaks to anyone looking for an honest, professional and dedicated landscaping company.
