Testimonials

Excellent on-time project execution for complex basalt block staircase to street as safety improvement. High quality of building materials and install team expertise combined for a flawless process. Bonus support resolved unconstrained retaining wall junction. Impressive was the team leader’s proactive instruction of team for install strategy and best known methods. My high valuation of supplier quality is confirmed.

Shovel & Thumb delivered my order of 10 yds of compost when and where agreed. Good quality product at a fair price. The whole process was easy and smooth. One little glitch on delivery timing was handled with good communication from S and T. I look forward to working with them again, soon.

Amazing selection of plants and landscape supplies. And not just a few. I counted at least 200 blueberry plants in 5 gallon pots. Cute artsy stuff available to spice up your garden too. Located on the corner of 10th and 199th near Ridgefield, WA.

I purchased bark dust for my back yard. I had a in-person visit & one phone call. Both times the staff was professional & helpful. Quickly handled my request & provided multiple e-mail & text follow-up. Excellent customer service.

So, I really hate to write reviews, I always have so much going on lately. However, Shovel and Thumb, especially Anthony and Nico, have gone out of their way to hook me up and deserve the highest of praise! Anthony first helped me to order sod and then later set me up with Nico to have him come out and look at an issue on my property. The sod quality and delivery was stellar. Anthony was so helpful, working with me to decide what sod would best grow best in my backyard. He nailed it! Nico came out weeks later, to ascertain whether or not there was an issue with drainage on a poorly built paver patio done by a crooked "contractor" we unfortunately hired. They did not have to come out here and look at something they had nothing to do with, but they did. The customer service is beyond exceptional! I wish I had hired them to do the landscaping/hardscaping! I knew our budget was too depleted because of all the work we had to do before we even moved in. Hindsight is 20/20 though, now we know. Anyway, Nico also helped out with other issues on the same property that he also didn't have to address, but did! If you're on the fence about hiring them for ANYTHING, just do it. You're going to get what you pay for. Quality products/installations and excellent customer service, period! Thank you Shovel and Thumb, I will always be grateful and recommend you to anyone needing top-notch, high-end landscaping/hardscaping services!

We had an excellent experience with Shovel & Thumb! They delivered rock, dirt, and bark dust for our landscaping project, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish.

Brian was especially outstanding. His knowledge and expertise were incredibly helpful as we planned our project. He took the time to answer questions, provide recommendations, and ensure we ordered the right materials for our needs. It’s clear he genuinely cares about helping customers succeed with their landscaping projects.

The delivery was prompt, the materials were high quality, and every member of the staff we interacted with was professional, friendly, and helpful. Great customer service can be hard to find these days, and Shovel & Thumb exceeded our expectations.

We highly recommend Shovel & Thumb to anyone looking for landscaping materials and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be using them again for future projects!

I can't say enough of how I appreciate this company. Shovel and Thumb did a side yard and front yard landscape design that I am sooo pleased and proud of.

The crew that was sent out were so polite and professional. They kept me informed every step of the way.

Cohan brought out the plants and trees for the project and did not plant them until I saw the placements. He even moved some at my request.

My neighbors still comment on this wonderful job today! The project was done in June 2025. We did lose a few plants to the heat and Cohan immediately said he would replace these. They will do that this spring.

I have two other projects that I will be doing next fall and will certainly contact this company again.

I have only pictures of the side yard.

Thank you so much team for your knowledge and professionalism!

We wanted to make a major transformation of our very bland backyard and Shovel & Thumb came highly recommended. Cohan came out and helped us visualize and create the perfect solution for our yard. We were able to get on the schedule very quickly and they completed the project in less than a week. Nick and his crew were amazing and kept us updated throughout the project. They were prompt, friendly, professional, patient, and left our property completely clean upon finishing. Nick's attention to detail and determination to complete everything to the highest standard was greatly appreciated and valued. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to improve their property.

Shovel & Thumb replaced our broken front walkway with pavers. They did a fantastic job and it looks great. The crew was super friendly and professional and our dog loved greeting them each morning. I will definitely have them bid on future projects if needed. Highly recommend!

I’ve purchased bark twice from Shovel & Thumb and have been very pleased with their staff and friendly and professional business practices. They also have an excellent line of landscaping products, including a variety of bark and pavers. I’ll continue to purchase my bark in the future from Shovel & Thumb.

Joseph and his crew were timely and did a fantastic job! Joseph communicated with us throughout the project to make sure we were happy.

It turned out gorgeous!

Shovel and thumb was amazing to work with, and Brian helped educate me on how to properly plant certain types of plants to help them survive in my clay based soil. I appreciate all the help and the ease of working with everyone there.
