“Sam and crew were extremely flexible, responsive and conscientious. We had a custom design retractable pergola which required extra time and work. It has transformed our outdoor space to be able to use it 9 months of the year. We went with white which has been more work to clean every few months versus black, but black wasn’t an option for us. Pricing was in line with others and they were the only ones able to do a fully retractable custom sized pergola. We love it!”

“We spent a lot of money to landscape our front yard about eight years ago and over time, a lot of the plants didn't make it and the yard ended up being a lot more maintenance and work than we expected or wanted. We saw a sign (for Bayside) on a recently renovated yard near our home that we liked and decided to call and consider reworking our own yard. Rick at Bayside was exactly who we needed to redo our front yard. He was easy to work with and helped us develop our thoughts and wishes into a functional plan that he executed on flawlessly. Rick was on schedule, competitive and reasonably priced, easy to communicate and work with, and all around just a great guy. Rick was hands on, working with his crew, and they did terrific work very quickly. Our whole project was done much quicker than we expected whereas previously it took at least twice as long. We are absolutely thrilled with the results, our yard is now exactly what we were hoping for. We would definitely work with Rick again without a doubt and highly recommend Bayside to anyone who asks.”
