Deck Builder reviews across the US

Owner, JJ, was extremely polite and professional when we hired him to paint our home and landscape our backyard. His pricing was definitely fair. Now, when we have friends over for gatherings, we get so many compliments on the color of our home and the well-designed paver patio and fire pit in our back yard. We are very proud of the work he did for us and highly recommend him! He’s smart, trustworthy and creative - bringing new ideas to the table with a high standard of quality work!

JJ is great! He recently re built deck stairs for us — he had great ideas to expand the landing, and put them farther forward which made a huge difference in ease of use for our backyard. He communicated timing expectations upfront and it was quality work at a fair price. The end result is exactly what we were looking for and we are so happy with it. I would highly recommend working with JJ!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Walker Outdoor Solutions building our new deck. From start to finish, they were professional, polite, and incredibly easy to work with. The entire crew was friendly and respectful and not pushy or aggressive at all, which made the whole process feel stress-free and enjoyable.

JJ listened to what we wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and delivered a beautiful finished product that exceeded our expectations. You can tell they take real pride in their work. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their outdoor space!

Walker Outdoor Solutions (JJ Martin) did an excellent job of demolishing an old timber retaining wall, cleaning up the mess, and installing a new concrete block retaining wall. I highly recommend Walker Outdoor Solutions -- an eye for detail, gets the job done, and at a fair price.

JJ and the team at Walker Outdoor Solutions were very hard working and great communicators! I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or family. They do great work and a fun to do business with!

JJ did some work for me on a rental property I own. He was very thorough and professional. He did a great job , and took the time to make sure the job was done right. I look forward to more work in the future, and recommend him to anyone seeking quality work for their projects.

JJ and his team at Walker Outdoor Solutions did a great job building our custom privacy fence. I appreciated that he asked questions and had me check in so it got done exactly the way we envisioned it!

JJ was easy to contact. Quick response to my call. He was professional, accommodating, and great follow through.

JJ was hired to re-stain our cedar fence and replace some boards and a post. He was very professional and did a great job. I would definitely hire him again.

JJ and his team did a wonderful job on our new fence! We have used them multiple times for fence related services, and have loved the finished product every time! Good communication and easy to work with!

We had JJ and his crew out a couple of time for repairs. The first time was to replace rotting deck boards, the second time was to have him replace panels and rotting cedar on our privacy fence, and he also power washed our patio and other retaining
walls. He and his crew were respectful and did a great job, and would definitely recommend.

JJ was super easy to work with and made it easy to schedule. Communication was excellent. Highly recommend him and the team!

Walker Outdoor Solutions redid our landscaping beautifully! Our home looks great with the new edging, mulch and deck stain. They worked hard, communicated well and handled every small detail even after they finished the project. Definitely would recommend to anyone needing new outdoor spaces!

JJ was super helpful answering all of our home exterior remodeling questions. Their back patio and deck construction expertise should put them at the top of your list when researching local Hopkins/Minnetonka contractors.

JJ offered to clear my walks and driveway on the coldest day of the year! What a nice young man to work with! If I had more work to be done, I’d call his company.

They came by and offered to shovel our sidewalk and driveway for free. Did a great job and it really helped us out as I have a bad back and it didn’t seem like enough to get the snowblower out for. Friendly shoveler, really appreciated him doing that for me.

We are thrilled we found JJ and Walker Place LLC. JJ was great to work with, communicative and positive. His crew are hard workers and polite. We love the professional work they did in building our beautiful deck. Highly recommend!

We hired Walker Outdoor Solutions and JJ back in 2023 to replace a crumbling retaining wall in our backyard near our pool. It was a project that looked small but with the amount of old railroad ties to be removed, earth to be moved, plants to be moved and replanted and weight of stone to be brought in we knew it wouldn’t be an easy one. JJ was very responsive, provided a fair quote, scheduled us in without over promising on timeline (which I feel like can be a huge issue these days), and did a wonderful job ok the project! Going into the project we thought we knew what we wanted and JJ provided some suggestions that he thought would make it look nicer, these suggestions didn’t increase the price of our bid at all, and indeed it looks way better than we could have thought. 2 years later we still love our backyard retaining wall! We have sent JJs name to friends and family across the twin cities because he is attentive to his clients, is a very hard worker (especially for his age!) and does phenomenal work. Can’t wait to have him back for more projects!

Had a great experience with JJ and his team! Easy to schedule, excellent communication and very friendly. We highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again!

JJ & his team do amazing work. They are reliable, respectful, priced fair, and keep a clean work space. Their work is beautiful from decks, patios, landscaping & more. Absolutely a joy to work with

We hired JJ and Walker Outdoor Solutions for a hot tub paver pad and a walking path from our driveway to the backyard. This also included designing and building a set of stairs to the current screened porch. JJ met with us to discuss designs and paver choices to match with our existing color scheme on our home. The project ended up being a pretty big job as we also had Walker LLC rip out our old outdated plastic landscape edging (around the entire house) and replace it with new bullet pavers. Everything looks so clean and just fantastic! We are extremely happy with the final product!
