**★★★★★ — Alesha Yamal, Sept. 2017**

> Honestly one of the most professional company I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my home-owning existence!  Bret was a pleasure to work with and so patient with us in the proposal process, rewriting the proposal several times to meet our vision and budget needs. Once the project began, I was beyond impressed at how quickly they completed the work, incorporating the original landscaping design as well as our in-the-moment inspirations!  Throughout the process they were on time, communicative, responsive and always did everything they said they would. The icing on the cake was when they helped us when another unrelated contractor failed to complete our fencing work on time - they jumped in and completed that work so our landscaping project could proceed on time.  I have kept in touch with Bret since the project completed and rely on him any time I have a question on anything plant related (hopefully I am not a nuisance!)  Honestly the most professional company I have ever worked with and I highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — John Pritchett, Sept. 2017**

> InsideOut Environments is the finest Landscaping design and implementation company I have ever experienced. Mr. Brett Laird is a fine person and a very responsible business owner. He was the technical expert on my son's Eagle Scout Service project. The project could not have been achieved without his help and guidance.

**★★★★★ — Christina, Sept. 2017**

> We have used IOE since 2010 for major landscaping projects and annual Spring/Fall clean up.  Bret and his team are very dependable and committed to doing exceptional work. They are always on time and maintain a clean jobsite.  Over the last 7 years we've put in 2 pools and used IOE for landscaping both.  These were large projects in excess of $10,000 that included design and installation of rock bed formations, pathways, fire pit, trees and shrubs, and drainage. My trees and shrubs continue to thrive!  IOE has a great eye for design and the expertise to select trees and plants that are beautiful, hardy, and easy to maintain.  We always receive compliments that express the "wow and awe" factors that make us appreciate the service we've received.

**★★★★★ — Elizabeth Honeycutt, Sept. 2017**

> We love the Bret Laird and his crew from InsideOut Environments!  My parents consulted Bret for a reworking of all of their flower beds, along with redesigning their driveway and installing a sprinkler system.  Everything went very well.  When we bought our house in 2013, landscaping was one of the first things on our to do list, and we went straight to Bret.  He and his crew start early in the morning and are very efficient, and we have been very pleased with how our landscaping looks.  We have them come back twice a year (spring and fall) to refresh the area, clean up plants, and replace any plants that have died.  Bret's crew also installed up lights in our front yard and fixed the broken ones the former homeowner had in our backyard.  We highly, highly recommend this company.

**★★★★★ — abs2, Aug. 2014**

> Inside Out Environments landscaped my back yard around a new pool. Bret came out when it was a disaster zone of excavation and immediately had ideas and creative options. He took into consideration anything we wanted and was highly knowledgeable about what plants thrive and what does not. He took the pool design and sent us simulated pictures that showed the pool with the plants he mentioned around it. He showed different angles so that we had an idea of what it would look like from different parts of the yard. It was GORGEOUS! Our whole sprinkler system had to be redone with the addition of the pool. Excellent job and much better system and easy to understand and control. The landscape lighting he used in the trees and around the walkway reflects in the pool at night. It is just beautiful. We also added an iron fence. It was added with great precision and was built around some guide wires that come down at the back of the property. Welding was done on the spot and it looks beautiful. Bret is extremely artistic and creative. He made what has always been an average to ugly back yard a truly gorgeous showplace. We wanted a mosquito misting system and he has that available. Wonderful for here in Houston! It has been an amazing transformation!  Next year,  the front yard!
