All You Need To Know About Working With Back40landscaping!

Thank you for taking the time to let us in on your project!

Our goal for our first phone call with you is to learn more about your project, what is important to you, and if we are a good fit for one another.

As homeowners ourselves, we believe that the most important part of a landscaping project is who you choose to work with. We want you to learn who we are, what our qualifications are, and what you can expect when working with us.

Back 40 landscaping is owned by Sam and Natasha Maerz.

When we started our business in 2013, we vowed to:

• Complete each and every project like we were doing it at our own home, and make sure that everyone on the team is certified to do the job exactly how it is supposed to be done.

• Have Natasha in the office to answer the phone every time it rings

• Have Sam onsite every day, at every project. From start to finish you know who is going to be working in your yard.

Education

On our website we have over 200 articles about retaining walls, drainage, pavers, gravel and excavation.

We started this education so that customers could understand exactly what their project entails, and to help you understand the difference between us and other contractors.

You are getting ready to spend your hard-earned money, and should know how your project is being built, material options, and possible problems that can arise so that you know exactly what you are getting.

Why Do We Ask You For A Budget?

Each and every project can be completed using different amount, types, and style of materials, and can be built different ways. 

We build your projects scope of work based on your budget.

Without one, there is no starting point for us to how we are going to design your specific project.

If you do not have a budget in mind, think about what you are wanting and able to spend.
