Backyard Barber does a great job of clearing my driveway in the winter months. It's pretty important to be able to get out to care for elderly family members and Backyard Barber makes it happen for us, thank you Backyard Barber for getting us out of the snow storm!

Having recently installed a pool, we needed to do some landscaping around it.

Backyard Barber did a wonderful job putting down weed barrier, decorative rock, and edging. They were great to work with…the crew of guys were hardworking, friendly and pleasant.

Backyard Barber always responded to my questions by text or phone promptly…which I totally appreciated, as that is rare today!!!

It looks great! Thank you !

Comments from Emily S.

Working with Gavin and Kelsey was so refreshing and easy!! After having a horrible experience with someone else removing our over grown bushes from in front of our house, Backyard Barbers did everything so smoothly! Gavin and Kelsey were great to work with and answered any questions we had, their crew were friendly, and everything was done without a huge mess and they cleaned up everything so nicely when they were done. The buried drains and landscaping give our house a fresh look that we wanted! We will definitely be using them again!!

Comments from Joyce B.

We just moved into Quincy last year and luckily found Gavin and Kelsey. Front of house was completely overgrown with out-of-control bushes. They removed everything, re-established the planting areas and just put together a beautiful arrangement of evergreens and color. I just smile every time I walk out the front door. I highly recommend and will be using for my future projects!

WOW! Our landscaping looks amazing! Backyard Barber did an outstanding job on tearing out all the old overgrown bushes, cleaning up the old rock and debris, and installing a beautiful landscape that makes our home look incredible! Their staff was great to work with from design, plant selection, implementation and execution - can't say enough about how hard they worked and how professional each member of their team was in the creation of our new landscaping!

Highly recommend - Thank you Backyard Barber!

BYB took a blank canvas, listened to homeowner’s ideas and created as close to a tropical oasis as is possible for the MidWest. They did their research to find out the most practical plants for this area and always considered cost. They provided advice about what would and would not work short and long term. They also took on a lawn with drainage and other problems and worked to fix it in a cost effective way. BYB are versatile, creative, hardworking, punctual and listen to what their clients want. The project is ongoing and I look forward to continuing to work with them to complete it. Kudos!

We had Backyard Barber Lawn Care install rocks and hydrangeas in the front and side of our home. They did a wonderful job and we are so pleased with how everything looks! Thanks so much!

I can't say enough about these guys - I use them for my personal home and my rental properties. Communication is key to me, I need to be able to send a text explaining what I want and they will respond back with options and pricing and boom the project gets done. It's getting harder & harder to find contractors that are reasonable priced and reliable that do a good job and that's what these guys offer.

before and after - Melanie A.

We had Backyard barber out to do a fall cleanup- I came home to a new yard!! It was amazing! I wish I had before and after pictures!!! They did such a great job we hired them to do our lawn all year long! They are professional, offer a great price and are great to deal with! We live this family run local business- they make us feel like one of the family!!!
