Very pleased working with Outdoor Living by Mr. Mulch and Blendon Gardens to construct a pavilion on an existing paver patio. All aspects of this process from design, to pre construction prep work to post construction finish work was professionally completed by Mr. Mulch staff. The pavilion was constructed by Blendon Gardens with the work coordinated by Mr. Mulch staff. I could not have been more pleased with our final product and would without reservation highly recommend their work.
Outdoor Structures by Mister Mulch recently completed the design and installation of a new outdoor space for our home and we couldn’t be happier. Everyone from their company that was a part of the project, from Andy the salesman/designer, Justin the project manager and the men who completed the installation, were professional and communicated throughly. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. Give them a try for your project, you won’t be sorry!!!
