Client Testimonials
I worked closely with Ray and his team on a very large drainage project when we built a new pool to comply with township drainage requirements. His team, specifically Scott and crew, are fabulous to work with, always on time, follow through, communicate well, and most importantly go the extra mile. I deal with lots of third party service providers and often feel the need to supervise closely...I never worry about Distinctive Outdoor Spaces. In addition to the drainage, we installed new landscape lighting, front landscaping, bed maintenance and are currently working with them on a new driveway with Belgian block curbing, paver circle, etc. Ray takes pride in his business and is a true pleasure to work with! I am a very particular (and I am sure demanding customer), and I highly recommend Ray, Scott and their teams as I am always very pleased with the results.
We have worked with Ray and his team for over five years and I can say without hesitation that we couldn’t be happier with everything that they have done for us! The results of our initial landscape lighting far exceeded our expectations so we engaged Ray on three additional projects including landscape design and a stone walkway. The quality, professionalism and value that Ray and his team provide were immediately evident to us and we have been happy to recommend him to our family and friends.
Working with Distinctive Outdoor Spaces is a pleasure. Ray and Scott are honest and knowledgeable. My company has worked with DOS for several years, on various projects. Most recently they completed a very large drainage project, which included sloping, grading, drainage, and even concrete work. The results were exceptional.
We wanted our back patio upgraded and more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. We had some ideas but really needed help with design and materials. Ray listened to us and knew exactly what to do. He gave us ideas and options and helped us with final decisions.
Our project started on time and he or Scott checked in with us regularly, keeping us in the loop and moving forward. The crew was friendly and respectful.The last week of the job, we were on vacation and upon returning found the most beautiful patio and walkway all lit up!
Ray and Scott’s attention to detail, work ethic and honesty made for one of the best projects we’ve done so far on our home. They have become personal friends and are looking forward to doing more with Mr. Ray!
Distinctive Outdoor Spaces did a wonderful, professional job grading and laying sod for a major pool renovation of an old cement pool last summer. Ray Moran designed a stone pathway from our home to the decking around the pool, enhanced with plantings. We were so pleased with the good communication and high standard of work, we hired them to do lighting in the front of our historic home. Ray suggested uplighting of our 2 large Cooper Beech trees which was something we would have never thought of and we love the result! I would highly recommend working with Ray for any landscaping and lighting projects.

Scott and the company did an exceptional job on a gazebo, earthmoving, site prep, pavers, and paving project at our non -profit club. He worked with building plans and water drainage issues in a superb manner. A++++

Highly recommend Distinctive Outdoor Spaces for any landscaping projects. These guys are the real deal and made our vision for a new front walkway and landscaping come to life. They also installed new landscape lighting which really makes the house pop at night.
Ray, Scott and team were very professional and easy to work with from design to installation to the final walkthrough. They listened to our ideas but also knew when to push back which resulted in a beautiful renovation to the front of our house.
We likely have more work that needs to be done to the back of the house and look forward to working with Distinctive Outdoor Spaces again in the future!

These guys are the real deal. You get what you pay for and more. From early inquiry to the final broom sweep, Ray and crew put my mind at ease every step of the way. Scheduling and weather forced me me to delay the start date; they handled that and other changes better than ANY hired contractor/builder to date.
