This rave review is LONG overdue. I was introduced to Darkhorse Design after my husband and I got scammed out of several thousand dollars when building our back patio. David came over, identified the work that needed to be redesigned, removed, and replaced. He was prompt with his quotes, very easy to communicate with, and quick to get to work once we signed off on the designs. He and his crew are some seriously hard workers. They definitely came with blinders on and were efficient, tidy, and in and out as quickly as they could be while still doing high quality work. When Darkhorse announced they were going to do Christmas decorating in the winter, I jumped on that immediately!! I had David come up with the design; and, he handled everything from decoration acquisition, to install, to tear down, and storage. They absolutely crushed it! You will not be disappointed in this investment. Darkhorse is fantastic!

We hired Dave to build a raised patio where we used to have a deck. Dave worked with me on the design and helped us pick out the materials. He worked on it in March when the weather can be a little tricky, but it didn’t stop them from getting done in reasonable time. We have spent the summer enjoying our new outdoor area. I recommend Dave and Darkhorse for your paver/ Patio projects.

David and his team made my dream patio come to life! Within 15 minutes of seeing my space, David locked in a vision and was prompt in sending over a design to move forward at a very fair price. The team worked quickly without sacrificing attention to detail. Communication was great every step of the way. Would highly recommend using Darkhorse for any upcoming projects!
