“My yard needed a total renovation, everything from end to end needed to be demolished and replaced with the exception of the pool. I received several recommendations but Modern Yardz had the earliest availability for a consultation. Frank came out to review my yard and my wish list of things...walls, pavers, turf, lighting, landscaping, pergolas. I had no idea where to start but Frank made me feel immediately at ease and guided me on some options. After that first meeting and walking through the virtual design, I decided I did not need to talk to another contractor and trusted that Frank and the Modern Yardz team could do the job. It ended up being a 3 month project with a few unplanned issues along the way, but we worked through them and Frank was always there to guide on the options and provided quick responses to all my questions. Sebastian the foreman and his team on the hardscape side were efficient and do quality work. They often made up project time when we had delays on other parts of the project. Everything was worth the wait. I went from having an old, run down backyard to a Modern Yard that I enjoy, morning to evening!”

“I highly recommend not only adding a sunroom to your home but using Skyline Sunrooms and Patio Covers. It is the favorite room in my home! My sunroom was actually installed in 2003 by a different homeowner. I have lived here seven years and have called Skyline often with questions about things like paint or hanging things from the walls or questions about elecrical, etc., and they were amazingly accommodating despite the fact I was not the original owner. Fast forward 23 years later post-2003 (which is great longevity), and I had the roof/ceiling replaced, and the staff jumped all over helping me make decisions on ceiling style and lighting and doing all they can to make the process easy and within budget. Scott in particular. Great service and product.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the work this company did on my driveway. From my first interaction with the sales representative to speaking with the owner and watching the crew in action, every step of the process was professional, organized, and handled with real expertise. The crew worked incredibly hard. They broke up heavy concrete, removed large tree roots that had caused major damage, and poured a beautiful new driveway that completely transformed the look of my home. What really stood out to me was how well they worked together. There was constant teamwork, positive energy, and even laughter while they tackled some very tough labor. To me, that says everything about a company’s leadership — when a crew is that upbeat and cohesive, it reflects owners who treat their team well and run a solid operation. I had been living with cracked and raised concrete for far too long, so seeing the finished result was such a relief. The driveway looks better than I imagined it ever could. I also discovered they offer more than just concrete services. Had I realized that sooner, I absolutely would have used them for other projects I have coming up. They will definitely be my first call in the future. If you’re looking for quality work done by people who truly care, I highly recommend this company. They exceeded my expectations in every way.”

“Great experience from beginning to end. The crew showed up on the day and time we agreed to do a walkthrough of the project. There were two spots where he said his crew could do the work, but said it would be really easy for me to do in a couple hours to save some money. Which I really appreciated him not up selling me. Then I received the bid the next day. After we went into contract his team showed up and started the work. It was started on Monday and pouring concrete on Saturday. They were great to work with and respected our house. What I especially appreciated was the care they took to ensure nothing around the house was damaged.
