Great Job, Yard looks great . Highly recommended.Thanks
Great experience with Topscape.
I had let my yard get a bit out of control so I contacted Topscape Landscaping to come do a fall clean up to get it back in order. I was very impressed in all aspects, from the initial response to get a quote, to the quality of work and the speed with which they got it done. Everyone has been friendly and professional and skilled. What more could you ask for?
Topscape replaced our old railroad tie retaining wall. It was incredibly reasonable pricing and Giovanni was excellent with communication. When they started work, they completed everything in a timely manner, even repairing the steps between the walls that wasn't part of the bid, and thoroughly cleaning the driveway and street of dirt and gravel. We highly recommend Topscape!
Just had one of their wrapped vehicles run through a red light and almost T-bone me they should probably reconsider who they get to drive their vehicles originally was a one star review the owner reached out to me and is addressing the driver of the problem
Great company, easy to work with and flexible, very reasonable pricing and the work looks great. Please see the before and after pics. I will be recommending to others and using their services in the future.
They did an AWESOME job. We couldn't be happier. They provided an estimate ON THE SPOT! We didn't have to wait a week for just an estimate. Our job had its challenges due to current patio that was there and had to be taken out, but they made it look beautiful. They were very meticulous. The workers were prompt and friendly. Cleanup was awesome. Can't say enough good thinks about them.
This company did a great job transforming my jungle of the backyard into something I can enjoy again.
Quick response and great work at a fair price.
Very impressed with communication, promptness, pricing, and quality work. Highly recommend.
We hired Topscape Landscaping to do some re-grading around our house and to bury our down spouts. Not only did they return our quote quickly, they completed the job in 2 days! That included them putting our existing landscaping (brickwork) back! They were professional, very knowledgeable, and soo nice to work with. Extremely impressed!! Cannot recommend them enough!!!
This company did a great job on what we requested. Very accommodating. They moved their schedule, gave pair pricing, worked hard. They were one of the best parts of a crazy project.
The Topscape crew removed a dead tree followed by adding mulch and plants to the area at the end of our lot. They did an excellent job at a very reasonable cost.
Topscape Landscaping were very professional and very easy and accommodating to work with! Loved the suggestions that Giovanni made with our project. Giovanni and his team were very courteous and helpful and answered any questions we had while they were working on our landscaping project. They were also very mindful of our newly laid sod and were very meticulous with cleaning up afterwards. Communication with Giovanni by texting and email was very responsive. Will highly recommend to others and use Topscape Landscaping for future projects.
We've used Gio and his team for two different projects. Both times were great experiences. Good communication, transparent with pricing, and delivers great outcomes. There's a reason they don't have anything lower than a 5-star review. We'll be reaching out to Topscape again for any future projects!
They were super patient, respectful, and communicative throughout the entire process. The work was absolutely stellar and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping work! They built an entire retaining wall and replaced my rotted stairs in about a week (barring the raining weather). I asked for a shortened timespan due to the failing wall and they delivered in SPADES! Thank you, Giovanni!
I am writing to express my appreciation for the exceptional service provided by TopScape Landscaping. The retainer wall is beautiful and it meets all our expectation. In addition, the landscaping in our backyard went above and beyond and we were so grateful for the extra care you provided. Your team's dedication, hard work ethic and attention to detail has set the benchmark for excellence in landscaping services. Once again, thank you for your outstanding work. Sharon & George Meister
Very professional, patient, artistic and great work ethics of entire team.. loved the work and end product with reasonable pricing!
Mr. Giovanni Cedeno, Topscape Landscaping and his crew did a 5-star job. I am incredibly pleased with his quick response to requested spring clean-up, which also included a fresh top mulch to cover my flower beds and bare landscape. They are easy to work with, very thorough, an excellent landscaper at what they do at a very fair cost.
The Topscape Team did an amazing job on my backyard woodline. The weeds and leaves had overtaken part of the yard and they cleaned up to my property line along the entire backyard. Giovanni and his crew were very professional, and the price was right. I highly recommend this company and I would definitely use them the again.
It was a pleasure getting to work with Topscape! Giovanni was top notch at communicating when the team would be present to work on our retaining wall. Throughout the process he asked questions and communicated with us to be sure we were happy with the final product. His team worked tirelessly and finished a large job in 5 days. We are beyond happy with the finished product and how clean they left the space after they were finished. I’d highly recommend Topscape to anyone looking for landscaping/retaining wall needs. I would love to use Topscape again if we have any other needs arise!
Gio and his team addressed my needs extremely fast and the service was done immediately! They sent me pictures to see the work before they left as well as made sure I was satisfied with the work. Thank you!
We can’t thank Gio and his team enough at Topscape! We had a company fail us on 8 properties for snow removal. Gio and his team were able to clean up the disaster the old contractor left us and has earned our business moving forward. I highly recommend this company if you’re looking for quality and honest work!
Highly recommend this company. Customer service was outstanding and the work completed was a 10 out of 10. They were a blessing to me and are definitely a blessing to the quad cities. Do not hesitate to give them your business!!!
The BEST and I don't say that easily!! Today you don't get kind and honorable customer service and I received both. They took us on as a new customer in the middle of the unprecedented storms we are having. Showed up when they said they would and dug out 2 days worth of blizzard at a very, very fair price. Giovanni was very kind and when they arrived, for their second plowing, they spoke to us to make sure everything was okay. I just cannot say enough positive things about my interactions with this company!!!
This company was very professional and did an excellent job with landscaping my front yard. I am excited about using them to do my backyard in the spring.
Topscape was a bit more expensive than others but I worked on large construction jobs for 40 years and have learned that generally you get what you pay for. I paid the extra and received a very professional job that was well worth the money. They met or exceeded all my expectations. They somehow even managed to clean up the street and driveway of all the top soil. Can’t even tell they were there. I would highly recommend them.
Topscape did a great job on our retaining wall and landscaping project. Strong recommend if you're looking for quality work.
Did a great job making our vision for our front yard become a reality. They worked quickly and efficiently. Made sure I was still able to access my garage and driveway during the process. If they ever needed to go to our backyard they always made sure to close the gate again so my dogs wouldn’t escape.
Giovanni and his crew did a great job on my lawn. He designed a great look all around my house. Highly recommend to use them. You will not be disappointed.
Topscape landscaping did an awesome job installing a retaining wall. I will definitely be using them again for my landscaping projects. The guys are polite and know what they are doing!
Top notch! From start to finish these guys were great. I was always informed of the progress and details. These guys are seriously the best! Thank you guys for a job well done. Definitely exceeded my expectations!
Have used Topscape for two different projects. The crew works hard and does the job right. They’re respectful of your property, clean up after themselves, and do a great job. Communication is great and timelines and budgets are kept. Will use again and always refer.
They did a great job putting up a retaining wall, fence, and landscaping. Professional staff and did a nice job cleaning-up after the job was done. Highly recommend them!
We couldn’t be more pleased with the work Giovanni and his crew did on our front yard. We love our beautiful new two tier wall and the regrading of our hillside will make it so much easier for us to mow. Beautiful new plants too! 😊 Giovanni and his crew were skilled, friendly, hard working and paid attention to detail. Definitely worth the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Giovanni and his team did excellent work on our retaining walls / flower beds. Extremely pleased with the work that was done. Giovanni is professional, responsive and ensured that the work was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend this business!
Giovanni and his team did an outstanding job on our yard! They were skilled an meticulous with their work. The job was finished in a timely manner. The site was completely clean when they were done. We highly recommend Topscapes.
I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs you may have. Our back yard was a mud pit. After they put down the new sod, our back yard looks the best it ever has. The entire crew was wonderful and professional. So happy with the finished product!!!!
Topscape installed Holland paver edging and mulch for our flower beds, and our experience with them was terrific! Gio was very responsive in both quoting and scheduling the work. His crew (Josh, Adrian and Jason) is very talented and made sure the finished job was exactly what we wanted- and it looks great! I would highly recommend this company!
Would recommend this business to everyone! Very professional, friendly, and quick.
Giovanni and his crew just completed a wall that will enclose a new garden. He is very responsive, and he and his crew are very professional and efficient. I love the finished project and will hire him for future work.
We brought them on last fall for fall clean up. They did a great job then so we brought them back now for spring clean up, hard raking of the grass and putting down 22 cubic yards of natural mulch. All this work was completed in two days. Their cleaning up afterwards last year and now is fantastic! All of the employees are kind, courteous and great to work with! When you bring them out for an estimate, you will get a fair price for a task well done!
Excellent work, and very reasonable price when compared to other's. Owner is very professional and delivers as promised. If your looking to get a retaining wall save yourself some time and go with Topscape. I had 4 quotes and they were by far the best when it comes to materials used and price.
Giovanni designed and built our retaining wall and patio. They did an amazing job.
Did a great job removing a bush for me. Didn’t take long at all
If you are looking for a hardworking, professional, knowledgeable crew I wholeheartedly recommend Topscape Landscaping. They removed all weeds and mulch and replaced it with river rock which, along with several new plants, transformed the look of our beds. They accomplished in a few days what it would have taken us weeks to do ourselves. Wish we had them do this years ago!Thanks Giovanni, Matt & Josh for such an outstanding job, we really appreciate it!
Topscape landscape is absolutely fantastic! They responded to our inquiries with speed and were just a great team to work with. They tore out old retaining wall, created drainage, put in new stone wall retaining wall, hauled away previous debris, and landscaped with stones and mulch. The workmanship is excellent, and we are so happy with the results!

When planning outdoor firepit construction for your backyard, there are several factors to consider to ensure safety, functionality, and aesthetics. Here are some important aspects to keep in mind:
#1. Location: Choose a level and stable area for your firepit, far away from flammable structures, overhanging tree branches, or vegetation. Ensure there's ample space for seating and circulation around the firepit.
#2. Local regulations: We are familiar with local building codes and regulations for any restrictions or requirements related to firepit construction, such as permits, property setbacks, and approved materials.
#3. Fuel type: Determine whether you prefer a wood-burning, gas, or propane firepit. Each type has its advantages and drawbacks. Wood-burning firepits create a traditional ambiance but may require more maintenance, while gas and propane firepits are often cleaner and easier to use but do require additional utility work to connect the gas.
#4. Materials: Select materials that are heat-resistant, durable, and complement the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space. Common firepit materials include natural stone, concrete blocks, bricks, and metal inserts. As professionals we're not going to use an unsafe materials.
#5. Design and style: Consider the design and style of your firepit, such as in-ground, above-ground, or fire table, and whether you want a simple or elaborate design. Your firepit's style should complement your home's architecture and the surrounding landscape.
#6. Size: Determine the appropriate size of your firepit, taking into account the size of your backyard, the number of people you typically entertain, and the desired intensity of the fire. Ensure there's enough room for comfortable seating and circulation around the firepit.
#7. Safety features: Incorporate safety features such as a spark guard or screen for wood-burning firepits, proper ventilation for gas or propane firepits, and a fire extinguisher or water source nearby for emergency situations.
#8. Seating and landscaping: Plan the surrounding landscaping and seating to create a comfortable, inviting atmosphere. Consider built-in seating, freestanding chairs, or a combination of both. Incorporate plants, pathways, and lighting to enhance the overall ambiance.
#9. Budget: Establish a budget for your firepit project, taking into account the costs of materials, labor, and any additional landscaping or seating. Typically pricing can be anywhere from $2500 to $10,000 or more. We don't want to show you options that you cannot afford.
#10. Maintenance: Plan for ongoing maintenance of your firepit, such as cleaning out the ashes for wood-burning firepits, inspecting gas or propane lines, and protecting the firepit from the elements with a cover.
By carefully considering these factors, you can create a safe, functional, and aesthetically pleasing outdoor firepit that enhances your backyard and provides a welcoming space for gathering and relaxation.

FAQ's About Firepit Construction
What types of firepit designs are available?
Firepit designs can range from very simple designs to more elaborate, custom-built structures. We work with local suppliers that also offer pre-designed firepits that come in a kit form for a professional to install.
The most common and popular design options include in-ground firepits, above-ground firepits, fire tables, and fire rocks. We can help you choose a firepit design that best suits your backyard space, aesthetic preferences, and your budget.
Can you build a gas or propane firepit instead of a wood-burning one?
Yes, we can certainly design and install gas or propane firepits in addition to traditional wood-burning firepits. Typically we'll subcontract with a qualified plumber to install any required gas lines or connections. Gas and propane firepits offer benefits such as ease of use, cleaner burning, and fewer restrictions in some areas. If you would like to discuss gas or propane options for your firepit we'd be happy to provide you with those options.
How long does it take to build a backyard firepit?
The construction time for a backyard firepit depends on factors like the size, design complexity, and the materials used. On average, we can complete a firepit project within a few days to a week. We do however book up quickly for these types of projects so it's a good idea to contact us several weeks if not months ahead of time if this is a project you plan on doing. We generally cannot accommodate requests to build a firepit on short notice.
Do I need a permit to build a firepit in my backyard?
Permit requirements for firepit construction vary depending on your local municipal regulations. Some areas may require a permit, while others do not. Generally a permit is not required for a wood burning fire-pit but for gas or propane firepits a permit is often required and can be handled by the plumber who is hired to install the gas piping.
What materials can be used to construct a firepit?
Common materials used for firepit construction include natural stone, landscape blocks, bricks, and metal inserts. Each material offers different aesthetics, durability, and cost. We can help you choose the most suitable material for your specific needs and design preferences.
What should I consider when selecting seating options for my backyard firepit?
When choosing seating options for your backyard firepit, consider factors such as comfort, durability, maintenance, and style. You'll also want to consider how many people do you expect to enjoy your firepit? You'll want enough seating for your family and possibly some overflow if you have guests or host an outdoor gathering. Seating options range from built-in benches to seat walls to freestanding chairs or even outdoor furniture. We can discuss seating options with you during our on-site consultation.
