"Our experience with

Salt Lake City Landscapers Provider Name Locked

has been great.

came out to give us a bid on our project. We had the quote back within a couple of days. They began work on the project about a week after we gave our OK. We have a cement fence that surrounds our backyard. It is old, and was falling down. Part of the problem was tree roots growing underneath the fence, causing the fence to buckle. The other problem was the steep slope on the other side of the fence.

's crew first removed the trees which were causing the problem. They had to remove the portions of the fence where the tree roots were growing underneath. After removing the trees, tree stumps, and roots, they reassembled the original fence, and fixed it in the process so it was aligned straight. We thought we might have to get a new fence, but they were able to fix the existing fence. It looks great! Then, they built a retaining wall around the back side of the fence using pressure treated landscaping timbers, and filled it with high quality top soil. Since I enjoy gardening, I wanted to do the planting in my new retaining wall myself.

and

were very helpful with suggestions of what kind of perennials and ground cover would grow well. They finished the project by installing low voltage landscape lighting in my back yard. It looks so beautiful! They suggested putting a light up in my apple tree as well as lighting on the ground, along the fence. I never would have thought of a light in the tree. I love it. The light casts wonderful shadows on the ground through the tree branches. The shadows were really cool during the winter on the snow. It took

about 5 consecutive days to complete the project. They arrived on time every day, and completed the project on time. I will definitely call them again next time I need landscaping help."

"Very smooth from start to finish. However, if you plan on hiring

, please book in advance, they are very busy!"

Salt Lake City Landscapers Reviews

"Poor punctuality and responsiveness. Entire crew consisted of man and wife. I must admit that they were very friendly and likeable."

"This was a HUGE project that transformed an overgrown, underutilized and unrealized space into a beautiful (and party friendly) piece of paradise that flows well and maximizes the terrain. The process began a year ago -

assessed the yard, listened to my priorities (including a starting budget), made some great suggestions and scheduled the job for this summer. True to his word, he contacted me this spring and had clearly been pondering the project - including a major change (removing the existing patio) that was my top priority but had concerned him from a budget point of view. Throughout,

remained sensitive to the money being spent and kept me updated on where we were heading. Work began in

, but he fit in a couple days in the spring just to get my front sprinklers going so my lawn could live again. Through two very hot months,

and

worked like crazy without complaint ( at least not to me), including many weekends and holidays. They were very conscientious and went out of their way to be low impact, winning over my neighbors as well. I completely trusted

's design scheme (he spent more time in my yard thinking about it than I had) but he was very open to change and I appreciated the collaborative effort at critical stages of the job. Both during the project, and now enjoying the finished product, I was and am impressed with

's intuitive grasp of what works for both the space and the client. Every rock, stone and plant was placed with careful consideration for function and aesthetic. The change is both dramatic and breathtaking. Despite the scope and duration of this venture, it was easily the most stress free and pleasant remodel I have experienced, both at home and the office, and worth every penny - not only has it added value to my home, but it continues to make me smile every time stand in or even glimpse at the yard!"

"The work began in late January and ended mid May 2010. There were many delays due to freezing or rainy weather, but the contractor also reported many personal issues. When there was a long delay in the work, it was usually I who called or emailed to get the work started again. First the contractor brought in thirteen 6"x6"x10 foot posts and installed them in 2-ft holes, back-filled with gravel. The hand-digging of the holes was difficult because of the rocky soil and numerous tree roots. I had intended for these posts to be tied into the existing fence, but this was never done, and the contractor did not think he had agreed to do so. This underlines the importance of getting everything in writing, in detail with a materials list and estimated labor costs ahead of time. The parts of this large, sprawling amorphous project that were done that way turned out well. Otherwise poorly. Then, two workers hand-dug the French drain trench, piling the soil on the neighbors' driveway. I asked them to move it to our front yard, which they did. I asked the contractor to use rigid perforated plastic pipe in the bottom of the drain, as I had researched the matter and believed it to be the best functioning, longest lasting and cleanable when it clogs. Contractor had already bought flexible pipe and stated that it was best and that I had to have it, because the drain had to curve around the air conditioner. He said it would last ten years. Currently, in a dry month, the basement is moderately drier than when the French Drain was dug. It remains to be seen if it makes any difference in a rainy season. When the workers had dug to the back deck, contractor asked to remove decking boards to get to dirt under deck. Later I agreed to let them permanently shorten the deck on the north to give access to the drain and create a distance from the air conditioner. Had I realized it, the AC actually sits on a plastic base and could have been lifted out of the way, saving $400. To dig the catch basin, a Bobcat trencher/dozer was brought in. It dug a much larger basin than I expected, and in the process ruptured a nearly new plastic irrigation line. Contractor stated that this did not matter, because he could replace the old system in less time than it would take to find the old one and adapt it for drip irrigation. The French drain and catch basins, back and front, were filled with gravel and covered back with dirt. While the Bobcat was on the property, two large Arbor Vitae trees were cut down and stumps removed, along with a number of medium sized stumps in the back yard. New trenches were dug for the irrigation lines in the back yard. In the process, a number of other existing sprinkler lines were ruptured, the lawn was destroyed and the ground compacted in areas I intended to turn into vegetable gardens. The Bobcat also broke up the existing front sidewalk, which

in jagged pieces many weeks before it was removed. Contractor was careful to tape off the area to warn of trip hazards, wherever they occurred. After waiting weeks for contractor to find appropriate bricks, we searched for them ourselves and found very nice salvaged brick, harmonizing with our historic house and had them delivered. Many more weeks later, a curve brick walk, that we are very happy with was installed. Workers used a mechanical tamper to prepare the ground. At my insistence, contractor appeared several times to make sure grade was draining and bricks were installed properly. This was an agreed upon add-on after the work started. Contractor was flexible and cheerfully worked this into the schedule. Workers installed Railroad ties as landscape timbers along the

of the parking strip, doing a careful and conscientious job in a difficult situation, since the

was crumbling in several places. They had to miter one corner at an wide angle, and anchor the timbers by drilling large holes in them and hammering rebar through them into the ground. It looked so good that I asked them to also put a border of RR ties all the way around the small front yard. They worked with me as I tweaked design details. They did a great job, and it looks good now with the xeriscape installed later by another contractor. The corroded old metal sprinkler system and stop-&-waste valve were removed and replaced with the underground components for a new drip irrigation system. Workers and contractor dug by hand several feet into the parking strip to remove and replace the old main valve. They laid plastic line for 2 watering zones. The system sat this way for many weeks, and I wondered if I would ever get a working system. Finally, after several appeals, contractor sent workers over to install the backflow pipes that complete the system. These pipes now leak underground, and the whole system front and back yard are inoperable. Fortunately, the contractor had showed me how to shut off the system at the street, so at least it is not leaking. The contractor said he would include drip irrigation and plantings for the cost we originally agreed on, but he never came up with a detailed plan or a plant list. He did drop off three small boulders and two bunches of

dug out of someone else's yard, that we did work successfully into our final design. To sum up, we are pleased with the landscape timbers and the brick walk. The jury is out on the French drain. We still have to figure out how to finish the fence. We had a high-end sprinkler system that is now destroyed, and an non-functioning drip system in its place. Our own inexperience with irrigation systems and our failure to thoroughly research the subject and the contractors in the area (why didn't we rely on Angie's List?)

to a mixed result. When we did our job well as consumers--insisting on exact plans, time schedule, materials specs and labor estimates--before the project began, things turned out well. When we put up with vague plans (fence posts) or didn't blow the whistle when things were not what we expected (Bobcat tearing up sprinkler lines)--things became very expensive and very disappointing. This contractor had good references from wealthy people with big, expensive, long-term projects. He worked hard for us while present, and his two workers are hard-working, careful and courteous. The Bobcat was a disaster for us, and just not appropriate for our small lot. This contractor works best with either unlimited time and budget or with very tightly structured small projects."

is a great landscape designer! She was very attentive to our desires, and took the time to get our input and include it in the design. We're very satisfied with the design, and so far (we're not done doing the work yet) it looks great.

first came to give us an estimate. Based on measurements of the size of the area and the style we wanted, she gave us an estimate of $600. After we approved, she took detailed measurements of every nook and cranny of the yard, including where the slopes are, and a list of some plants that we like. She came up with four different designs of the yard, and we selected one (which we hadn't even thought of, but it was a nice linear / modern looking design). She later send an email with many other waterwise plants and fruit trees, which we selected from. She gave us a draft design, which we made a single change to, and then she returned a final drawing, and had it printed on large format paper so we'd have a nice document to use when doing the landscaping. As a bonus, the final price was $100 less than the initial estimate. Overall, we are very happy with her service -- her style and individualized design work won us over."

"Everything about this company is first rate. All trees and other plants (including several Japanese Maple species) were obviously carefully selected both as individual specimens and by variety as well as sited with regard to mature size, to ensure minimal trimming requirements in future years. The final result is cleanly beautiful, peaceful and above expectations-and expectations were hight as

has done other projects in this neighborhood. This is a prompt, clean, thoroughly professional crew, and the most pleasant to work with. Costs were clearly addressed before hand and the final bill was itemized in detail."

"Our job request began with a recommendation from our home inspector that we should consider changing the slope on one side of our house to improve drainage some time after we moved in. We took several quotations and suggestions, but felt that

's was the most sensible for our needs. He was straight-up about when he could fit our job into his schedule (we were not in a rush) and kept us informed along the way. When the slot for our job opened

started and completed the work in just over a week's time, working until literally past dark most days and dodging some autumn rain showers. His work made my job of installing a

of protective garden cloth topped by decorative mulch all that much easier. We're quite happy with the results which will allow us to rest more comfortably over this winter knowing that any rain or snow melt runoff will not undermine our homes foundation and likewise permit us a great starting point for next spring's planting effort."

"I called

for the job. We scheduled a time for him to come out. He called me just before our appt. to say that he had a flat and could we reschedule. We did for a couple days later on a Saturday. He arrived on time, was friendly enough, and had great suggestions. He told me he'd put an estimate together. Three weeks later he contacted me to ask if I still wanted the estimate...which I'd already hired to someone else able to get me immediate pricing for the cleanup and prompt estimate for the other work."

"They were very professional and prompt, got the work done quickly did a really good job. When I did have a problem they were very quick to come out and repair the problem."
