I had a deck resurfaced with composite decking and a privacy fence built around my hot tub. The father/son team did a wonderful job, were very professional and the deck is beautiful. Their attention to detail was amazing, and they showed up on time and cleaned up very well. I would heartily recommend this team for future projects.

If you want to be made to feel like a complete idiot who’s wasting someone’s precious time, definitely contact Dave Silverman, president of Terrafirma. If you’d like to be treated with respect and collaborate with a landscape professional, gain valuable insights, and get inspired to transform your outdoor space, look elsewhere!
Dave came to our… house to provide a quote for removing and replacing our old concrete patio. I made the appointment with Dave by phone, and when he insisted that my husband be present for the in-person consultation, I brushed aside my concerns.

We had our deck resurfaced and screen around it replaced this year, and Mark and Rick did an excellent job! They were very professional and completed the job in the estimated time frame. Excellent workmanship and left everything cleaned up too. I would recommend them for anyone needing their deck redone!

Dave quoted me a price to replace a rotten timber about 3 ft long. He based his quote on a picture and estimated it would take a half a day for two men and it would involve resetting two layers of bricks above and below the timber. The actual time spent on the job took only 15 minutes and the bricks did not require resetting. I called a requested a refund of a portion of the job. He was not willing to do so. I would not recommend Terrafirma for any repair work on your patio. They simply charge too much for the amount of work involved.

Eric and his team at Terrafirma helped us transform the walkway and landscaping in front of our new home. As first time home owners, we appreciated Eric’s guidance and transparency about cost. The team worked efficiently and overall, the process went smoothly from start to finish. We look forward to working with them on future projects and would strongly recommend Terrafirma for your landscaping needs.

We had a fantastic experience with Terrafirma! Not only do they do quality work, but they are extremely trustworthy and timely. They arrive when planned and work through poor weather to get the job done. Ryan was so helpful with picking products and design for our deck and surrounding areas. Highly recommend!!!

If anyone is interested in having work done by Terrafirma Landscaping they might like to get my reference to attest to the kind of work that they do, as well as how constructive - not to be confused with misleading or deceptive - contracts they they can write. I am amazed to see how the pavers at my home continue to self destruct..
