We needed a professional who would provide us with design ideas for our yard as well as perform the actual work. We chose Ironclad Yard Management based on their very high review scores on Thumbtack. This was going to be a big job for a personal yard space and we needed it to be done right. Bret and Shirley, owners of Ironclad, were quick to respond. Bret created a design for our yard (a fairly big space), and gave us the cost estimate, which was reasonable for the amount of work they did. The work included hauling in 8 tons of rock (no more replacing old mulch every other year), re-running/modifying sprinkers, sodding, planting, and the actual design layout. We happened to point out a few other spots in the yard that were not of big concern, but Bret also had great ideas for those areas too. The result was outstanding (see the photos). In addition, Shirley has an eye for detail, so she made sure that everything looked nice, professional, and finished in the end. The Ironclad team was great about communicating and getting the job done in a reasonable time and cost. I feel very fortunate to have found them, and will be using them again! (PS: the photos don't capture everything they did, just the 'big' part of the job.)

Bret, Shirley, and their son did a great job on our front yard project. Replaced multiple bushes and planted 2 new trees. Also added a couple new sprinkler heads and replaced the older ineffective heads. They helped with the design and communicated great during the entire process. Will definitely use their services in the future.

Details: Residential • Sprinkler head(s) need to be relocated • Sprinkler direction or spread needs to be readjusted

Ironclad did a great job upgrading our existing landscape. Their work included: removing existing shrubs, tree stumps, and rocks; designing better drainage solutions; programming and rewiring our irrigation system, adding fresh sod, bushes, plants, and flowers. They went above and beyond in several ways: they added a small dog area and fire pit to our backyard and trimmed several trees along our fence line. They worked tirelessly throughout the month to give our lawn a brand new look. Above all, Bret & Shirley were wonderful and professional people to work with. They had excellent communication, great vision, and strong family values.

Details: Residential • Large (5,000 - 10,000 sq ft) • Installed onto bare soil • Clear gravel • Clear old grass or weeds • I need the pro to provide the sod
