“Luke and his crew at LML Contracting Designs were a prime example of a hard working and straight forward group of people. I hired LML to regrade my property, ensure proper water drainage, burry extended downstop extensions to pop up emitters at the street, etc. Luke communicated with me weekly to ensure I knew the status of the agreed up schedule and made sure I understood everything before and during the project. Luke's professionalism, communication, and work ethic is what set him apart from other options for me personally.”

The three things our customers write about most often, in the order they happen.
We come and look
We answer the phone, come out to the property and walk it with you, then get a quote back quickly. Not a number guessed off a photo.
We book it in
Once the quote is agreed we put you on the schedule and turn up on the day. Showing up is most of it.
You hear from us weekly
While the job is running you get an update every week, so you always know where it stands and what happens next.
What people say
“Luke came out for a very small job that nobody else would do. He offered to do more work there because they have a minimum. He leveled out two other spots in my yard, but he still felt bad charging the minimum. This shows how honest he is!”
“From the beginning of our experience Luke promptly responded to our request, did onsite inspections and provided reasonable quotes for the jobs very quickly. Within two weeks of the quote, he scheduled the jobs and completed both jobs with quality work. At a time when it is hard to get a contractor to show up, we were very impressed with LML Contracting and we will use this company again.”
“Luke and Chandler just installed a screen for our deck. Their work was well done and it looks great! They were meticulous in measurements and making sure the job was done correctly. I also appreciated quick and consistent communication from estimate, to ordering supplies, then with confirmations on time for installation. We will absolutely use LML Contracting Designs again in the future!”
“Luke is super talented and responds in a timely manner. he is super efficient with bids and to fit you into his busy schedule. He did a retaining wall for me and it's everything I could've asked for. Very professional work. Very pleased with my decision to hire LML Contracting Designs. Well done Luke!!”
