St Paul Water Fountain Installation

We got a daily report of what they were doing. I knew what to expect and when. Work crew was nice and courteous. All members of the crew answered our questions . The clean up was great. They did not leave anything behind. We did not have to clean up anything. We choose to put down sod or grow grass where the machines were used.

The work is progressing wonderfully. I now have a deck with attached octagon gazebo overlooking a water feature (4 ft. stone waterfall) with new arborvite and lilacs planted. Next season we'll add gravel paths, flower beds, a fountain, and pergola. Within the next two summer seasons I'll have a little bit of Britain in Minneapolis thanks to CHW Landscape/Design.

This is the fourth project we’ve worked with L&R on, the first project was helping with sump pump drainage, then building a car parking space, then two years ago they put in a water feature boulder with surrounding landscaping in the front and now the best, just last week was where they revived our tired old creek. The result is breathtaking. The team, all the way from Layla in the office to the designers and the builders is always a good experience.

The guys with Magnolia came and gave us an honest estimate. They were courteous and had some amazing ideas for our yard. They arrived each day on time, and cleaned up each evening. They were amazing group that worked hard, but truly enjoyed what they were doing. They helped us learn about our new water feature as well as mulching and the plantings.

I would hire these guys 6 times over if I had to ever do this again. We did a major renovation of our landscape/hardscape and backyard seating areas. Given the scope of the project and the complexity of how our house is situated it was important that we picked an excellent company with good follow through. More importantly we wanted a team that we would enjoy working with and an on-site crew we could trust. Laura and Tony listened to all the things we wanted to accomplish, worked out an amazing design and gave us options that aligned with our budget concerns. As we got into the project the crew and site managers they assigned were exceptional: incredibly competent, really hardworking and, as a reflection of Laura and Tony, highly professional and attentive to the tiniest details. One of their guys wielded this gigantic paver saw like a paintbrush and literally hand carved our front walkway. In the backyard I wanted a certain slope and level to the yard and after talking through it for a bit the guy (Erik) gets into the bobcat and literally re-sloped my entire backyard in like 7 minutes (while avoiding sprinkler flags) exactly like I wanted. I couldn?t believe it. Throughout Laura and Tony quality assured, were engaged with and were very responsive to both my wife and I in addition to their crew. What you won?t see on this board is other professional appraisals of ALD. If you are reading this you should know that we hired for other specialist work and asked their opinion of ALD (knowing they work with other companies as well). They all without exception stated that Laura and Tony do some of the best work out there. Those opinions in addition to the work they did and the continual follow-up left me completely satisfied with our decision, our beautiful new yard and the experience throughout. Sometimes you don?t know if you hired the right crew until the middle, end and follow-up on a project and these guys are the real deal. Thank you Laura, Tony and the crew!!!

Southview gave my yard a much needed makeover. I met with our designer several times prior to actual install going over all the details and making sure we got things just right. The designer put in numerous elements I never would've thought of that are nice touches. The demo and install wont mostly on schedule and the crew was very professional. I checked with project manager near daily and he always had a small and took the 2-3 minutes to give me recap of the day and what was next. They cleaned up the site at end of each day and really paid attention to the details. We plan to do future upgrades to our exterior and will be using Southview for future work as well.

We had several estimates with requests to show us their design recommendations. Landstyle Design and Construction took a little longer however, we felt their design was by far the best and went way beyond what the others offered for the same approximate price. Where others offered only front yard features Landstyle was able to complete the front and back for a similar price. Their crew arrived when they said and was one of the hardest working crews we have seen. They were respectful and completed the project including cleanup in about a weeks’ time. In addition they offered a two year warranty on their shrubs and flowers. We had a few of the shrubs and flowers that did not come back this year and contacted them. It took several weeks for them to respond because it was their busiest time of the year however, they sent a crew out and replaced all of the shrubs that had failed. We are completely happy with their job from the beginning through completion and recommend them highly.

We are very happy with the work King Scapes did for us. Don, the project manager, was with us every step of the way making sure we got exactly what we were hoping for. He was very responsive to our questions and requests, and he was also willing to simply make decisions for us when we were uncertain. Getting the job done right was their top priority, and Don and the team went above and beyond to do so. They even fixed things that really were not their responsibility and did it for free. Highly recommended!

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!! SCOTT WAS GREAT TO WORK WITH. HE LISTENED TO WHAT WE WANTED AND DESIGNED LANDSCAPING THAT WOULD WORK WITH OUR YARD AND SKILL LEVEL OF MAINTAINING IT. THE PROJECT STARTED EARLIER THAN EXPECTED- AND TOOK A LITTLE LONGER- ONLY BECAUSE OF THE HORRIBLE RAINS WE HAD IN THE EARLY SPRING/SUMMER. THE CREW WERE ON TIME EVERYDAY AND WORKED IN THE POURING RAIN SOME DAYS. THEY WERE ALWAYS POLITE AND COURTEOUS AND MORE THAN WILLING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THEY EVEN CAME BACK ON THEIR OWN TO FIX SOME PAVERS THAT HAD BECOME LOOSE- I HADN'T EVEN NOTICED!! I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS COMPANY- AND THE PRICE WAS GREAT FOR WHAT WE HAD DONE. ALMOST $10K-$15K LESS THAN COMPETITORS!!!
