What Our Customers Say

"Marc and his team are amazing. We did retaining walls, a paved pool and hot tub area. They worked with the electrician so all wires were 2’ beneath ground. My retaining walls will last 30-40 years (wood) as they were done well above code and with full drainage. Seriously their crew do it like Holmes on Holmes, they come in do it right the first time and it will last a life time."

"While 2nd Gen was not the lowest bid, they were the only one who seemed to ‘get’ our vision. They completed construction of two small landscaping walls (3’ exposed), fencing with louvres, new plants, an irrigation system, new sod, and a new deck with lighting focusing on our beautiful vine maple. We were very satisfied with the final results, and have received many compliments on how beautiful and functional our backyard now is!"

"We feel really lucky that we chose Second Generation for our retaining wall project and the rebuilding of our backyard garden. They know everything in their business and are very resourceful. When we had any questions or new ideas, they easily had the problems solved. No doubt that both projects were completed to our full satisfaction."
