Reviews of local pros in Athens, Alabama

Incredibly professional and friendly. They graveled and repaired our drive way beautifully! Thank you for your hard work 😊 we recommend them for any type of driveway you might have. Reasonable price for the amount of work put into it.

I ordered dirt from Bama in 2024 for some raised beds I made. Their customer service was fantastic and they made sure I got exactly the dirt I needed. They worked around my busy schedule for dirt drop off. The dirt was great and everything that I expected. Overall fantastic people and quality product. My tallest ever sunflowers grew in their dirt (12 ft).

Not impressed with the workmanship and being men of their word. I had talked with operator about what I wanted being marked with orange paint. We agreed to a price and potential more loads being needed. He even told me he sent a load back but had to bring another load back. It was not communicated that everything was not done inside the orange paint. When manager went to view lot he said I would have to pay another 1400 to complete that they weren’t going to eat that cost. So someone who’s already paying 10k needed to be charged more than agreed price to finish the job. So again poor workmanship standards and they DO NOT Honor their words.

Bama Dirt of Madison was able to work us in their schedule last minute to deliver a 5 ton load of oversized river rock. Customer service was excellent & prices were cheaper than competitors. Product looks great under our deck. Highly recommend this company!

First time visit to Bama Dirt for bulk purchase of Pine Nuggets (versus my usual bag purchases at big box stores). Exceptional service. Beautiful pine nugget spread. And I figure I saved over 30% purchasing by the pickup truck load. Set for the summer. I’ll be back next year.

5 stars all the way! They did an amazing job with our sod, dirt, and mulch installation. After calling around, their price was the best by far. The team was polite, professional, and got everything done quickly without cutting corners. Highly recommend if you want great work at a great price!

Jason and his crew installed our zoysia sod and did an amazing job!!! The yard looks absolutely beautiful. They were professional, hardworking, quick, and paid attention to every detail. Pricing was fair and worth every penny. You can tell they take pride in their work. Highly recommend them if you want your yard done right!

Terrible and rude customer service!!!!!!

Chuck Farmer Landscaping is outstanding. I have been 100 percent satisfied with my lawn care for over 10 years. His crew shows up on schedule, do excellent work, clean up afterward and I never have to worry about anything. His price is fair and he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend.

Great service!

These folks do fantastic work and in a good lead time. There is no "yeah we'll schedule you in for 6 weeks from now." These guys go to works within a couple of days max. You can't go wrong with these good folks!

Matt’s folks did everything he said and more. They were professionals. If you need landscape help, Piney Creek Landscapes is the place you need to call. Great work at a great price.

Absolutely exceeded all expectations! Matt and his team are truly craftsmen. The quality and value they provide are second to none! Highly recommend!!

Matt is great to work with and his team does a fantastic job. I use them on a regular basis and have always been satisfied. Great prices as well!

Matt and his team were awesome! I made several requests in advance and each of them were fulfilled. I would recommend his services to anyone!

Matt and his crew are great to work with. He's polite, easy to communicate through text, call, email and is flexible. His guys come out and mow our lawn weekly and just recently helped with a landscaping project. We'll definitely be using them for any future needs.

Excellent service from start to finish. I contacted Matt to completely re-do the two flower beds in front of my house. He promptly came out and came up with several options utilizing digital renderings. The digital renderings are priceless because what we initially thought we wanted changed once we saw the renderings. Matt had great two way communications with me regarding weather and scheduled the work within days. His people were very professional and courteous. They pay attention to detail and make sure everything is 100% to your satisfaction. You know a company is great when they take the time to really clean off your sidewalks and edging from all the dirt debris. I will 100% recommend Matt and his team to anyone in North Alabama who needs landscaping services.

Absolutely 10 plus stars! They have done two big jobs out on our property now and we are very impressed with their professionalism, work ethic and pricing. We won't use anyone else. Matt and his foreman, Jeremy, are always on time, easy to talk to and helped us with making the right decisions with our garage driveway and drains!
Day two Ashton and Toby came out to finish and did a great job on garage drains!
I would recommend them to anyone for any job! Hard to find quality like Piney Creek!!!

Very pleased with our landscaping. Matt was attentive to our needs and made suggestions to help us decide what we wanted within our budget. His foreman, Jeremy and Tyler were courteous and professional. So glad we found them to do the job!

I have always dreamed of having a beautiful outdoor kitchen and sitting area where my family could spend time cooking and relaxing. After living in Chicago for 40 years, I faced the challenge of not having any yard space. This dream has been a long time in the making.

In September 2024, my wife and I moved to Hazel Green. We were uncertain about where to start and which landscaping companies to trust. After a disappointing experience with 5-Star Landscaping (you can read my review about them), we approached the entire landscaping process with caution. The only thing I was certain about was my desire to use Unilock bricks, as I believe they are far superior to any other landscaping bricks. However, Unilock has a very challenging vetting process that companies must go through to use their products, which requires time and dedication that not every landscaping company is willing to invest.

To find a reliable company, I called Unilock for a list of certified landscapers. One of the names I received was Piney Creek. I contacted them and spoke with Matt, the owner, who came out to assess our project right away. I also had three other companies come for estimates, but they lacked vision and creativity in their proposals and provided hand-drawn estimates that were difficult to read. It was clear they treated it as just another job.

In contrast, Matt returned with CAD designs and 3D renderings, giving us a clear idea of what the finished product would look like. This attention to detail spoke volumes about his dedication to his work. Additionally, his estimates were competitive with those from other companies. Throughout the process, most of the design ideas came from Matt himself. He treated our project as if it were his own backyard, which reassured us that we had made the right choice.

The entire process from start to finish had its challenges, mainly due to unforeseen issues left by the builder. Any contractor or landscaper who claims there won't be any challenges is not being truthful. Matt and his crew were proactive and addressed every issue without complaining or overcharging. They consistently asked, "How can we help solve these problems?" Their approach to handling these obstacles is what separates the exceptional from the average. They answered all our questions and dealt with any issues with great care and attention.

Overall, Matt went above and beyond throughout this entire process. I truly believe that if we had chosen one of the other companies, we would have regretted it. Everything Piney Creek did and how they managed each challenge reaffirmed that we had made the right decision by choosing them.

Now, every time we step out into our backyard, we smile at the transformation. The final result exceeded anything I could have imagined, and we owe that to Matt and Piney Creek Landscaping. I will share pictures of the before and after, as the transformation is incredible. My dogs now have a complete backyard to run around in, which was another dream of ours.

I hope this post helps others understand the hard work, planning, and effort that go into creating something like this. They handled everything you see in my photos—from running the French drains to laying sod, to building the pergola and privacy fence, and all the brickwork you see. I opted to hire my own electrician and countertop company for those specific jobs. So, do yourself a favor and call Piney Creek right from the start. Don’t waste time with unnecessary phone calls to other landscaping companies. Just call Piney Creek. They are the only company we plan to use in the future. Great job, Matt and team! Kudos to you all on a job well done!

We recently had Kendall Outdoors out to our home, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. They completely refreshed three of our flower beds with beautiful blooming shrubs and fresh mulch, and the transformation is incredible, it truly brought our landscaping back to life.

On top of that, they handled bringing in dirt and laying sod to repair areas of our yard after some concrete work, and everything blends seamlessly now. It looks like it’s always been that way, which is exactly what we were hoping for.

A big shoutout to Jake and his team …  they were professional, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. It’s not easy to find a crew that takes this much pride in their work, but it shows in the final result!

We could not be more happy with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for quality work and a team you can trust, I highly recommend Kendall Outdoors!
