Perfect from start to finish. Careful and thoughtful planning, prompt and meticulous construction, excellent communication. I would absolutely recommend Phase One to anyone planning a residential hardscape or landscape project. Dave Graham (President) and Jose Valdes (Project Manager) are the best!

We met Scott Kleski of Phase One Landscapes at the Garden and Home Show and out of all the vendors we spoke with, he was the only one to really engage with us and make us feel like he truly cared. He followed up promptly and came out to our house for a consultation. We have a very challenging space and he spent a ton of time with us walking through every inch and listening to everything we wanted. He also had a lot of great ideas and suggestions for the space that we had no idea what to do with. We were very impressed with him so we hired him to complete the full design plans. The survey team came out and did thorough measurements of our space. Scott then met with us again to go over the initial plans. We were blown away by the beautiful design he put together for our space! We couldn't have even imagined how fantastic it would turn out. We aren't quite ready to move ahead with the actual work yet because of cost, but when we are ready, we will call Phase One!

The crew did a great job working with us the the architect. When we had a suggestion to move the stonework for the planter to better match the asthetics of the house, Todd came out to discuss and agreed with us after seeing our concern.
Phase One had landscaped out patio 10 years ago which was one of the main reasons we went with them again. They did an outstanding job and would recommend them to anyone in the Denver area.

They have done work for us for years and they do a good job. They are reliable about coming and they seem to do a good job with the repairs.

The salesman's visit to my home went outstanding. Salesman was on-time, nice, professional, polished and was a genuine "good guy". Although I felt the quote to be expensive, the "presentation", salesman's assurance that an absolute top notch job would be performed, and overall professionalism exhibited to that point was unparalleled by any other competing company that had been to my home.
The job went on for approximately one month. Workers were courteous and kept my property clean. By the end of the job, I would assign the following grades:
Grading/Sod/Gravel/Sprinklers: A
Concrete Work: C (concrete was not troweled to the highest quality)
Walls: B
Deck: C (deck unstable, some corners not square, quality of boards was less than the best)
I voiced a number of concerns at the end of the job to the project manager. The concerns I brought up revolved around issues I found to be easily correctable (I did not ask for the concrete to be repoured or for corners that didn't meet up nicely to be addressed though in some ways I wish I would have). The project manager addressed the concerns that I had to a reasonable degree. My final grades were as follows:
Grading/Sod/Gravel/Sprinklers: A
Concrete Work: C
Walls: C (a noticable lean in the longest wall developed less than six months after job completion)
Deck: C
Overall, I don't feel that this job was worth $47K given the quality of work that was ultimately delivered.

We interviewed them first week of July, hired them. Was told the $350 fee to do the design would be deducted from total contract amount if we hired them to do the work. It was not, even after weeks of arguing, they refused to deduct it from the contract amount. They were supposed to start work end of July, then early August, but didn't begin until end of August. They take on contracts and commit to a date but never meet the date because they overbook themslves. They mislead us constantly about their start date, how many men would be on the work crew, when they would do what. It was a nightmare. Their contract sprinkler system guy replaced the new sprinkler box w/another one so we would have enough watering stations and was told there would be no charge since it was part of the contract. They still billed us for the sprinkler box.
The backyard is beautiful, albeit after one month we have eight dead plants which we'll have to wait to get replaced until spring next year. But the grief and lies and delays were overwhelmingly stressful.

Response from Phase One Landscapes
"I find it necessary to rebuke the Member comments made by this client. The design contract was agreed to on July 9th, we had a construction proposal to them on July 20th – 11 days later. We discussed a start in early August, however the project that was in progress before them added scope, so we delayed their project to accommodate the project underway. We divided the crew to finish the existing project, and move into this project so that we could get some initial progress going. After only two days the full crew of four was working and stayed on the project until completion. The client went out of town the second week of the project and our Project Manager emailed pictures on a daily basis of our progress. This is outside of our usual scope, but we wanted to make sure that they were kept abreast of the project status. We were given a deadline of two weeks at the start of her project, which we agreed to, and which we met. The design money of $350.00 was given back to them as clearly stated on the summary of our construction contract. The total was $17,850.00 and we contracted for $17,500.00. I still do not understand this misunderstanding. We were told that the controller for the sprinklers was operational as installed by their builder. Our contract clearly stated “will use existing controller”. I do not know when it was stated that it “was in the contract”. To meet their deadline we installed the sod on a Friday, on Saturday morning we went to program the clock as we did not have access as they were out of town We had two foreman, our irrigation tech (not contract), and numerous phone calls going on that morning as the clock did not work. It was inoperable, and we had to replace it – not because we needed more zones. The clock and the labor that we incurred due to their clock not working was in the hundreds – and they ended up paying only $50 for a new controller. It is unfortunate that this client has such a bad feeling about our company. From start to completion it was about 7 weeks, which is not bad in the middle of the summer for our firm. The 9 dead plants were only 2 at our completion walk through and it was agreed to by both parties that they would be replaced next spring under our standard warranty. She states that the project is “beautiful”. Construction is never without problems. We overcame those problems and delivered a lasting garden and patio – which is what the ultimate goal is."

We had PhaseOne come do a rather large landscape project 5 years ago, and while they were expensive, they were professional and our yard looked beautiful when they were done. However, only about a third of their plants and shrubs lasted for more than a year, and this year we were told that the watering system they installed should have been adjusted to accomodate the growth of the plants. It is totally our fault that when the design was not doing well, we did not notify them for advice, but we let it go too long. This year we have had them out a couple of times, and they have no explanation as to why our yard looks so bad and why their perrenials did not live. So now that the plan for our yard has been scaled back (we just don't want to spend the money they wanted us to) we have slow response times and have not yet received our backyard design from a meeting over a month ago. While I do think their knowledge of plants and the Colorado climate is adequate, their customer service is lacking. We have decided to finish our project with another company.

They did great. They did a good job. The quality of the work was the best thing about them.

We had a rough start but I am very impressed with the way they caught up with their errors, cleaned up, and produced satisfactory results. It is difficult to find service professionals who own their mistakes and produce good work. This was their first year for the maintenance department. I understand they typically they perform landscape renovations and installation. I think they will do a fine job next year. Although we a difficult start ,the owner did an outstanding job with follow through. I really appreciated his effort. I would recommend them.

The experience with this company was fantastic. They were really knowledgeable and came up with a great design. The quality was work is first rate and if not they will keep working until it is. They are very professional and helpful as well. I would recommend this company to anyone.

They were fine, A's across the board. The thing that stood out to me was the quality of their work. They seemed to have the best design and their materials seemed to be the most durable. They were on time and their work was great; they did a good job. I have a great patio and they were good to work with.

Dealing directly with Todd the designer and Modesto the foreman was a dream! I had met the company at the Denver Home and Garden show in Jan. 2010; by March we had our design and construction began in late April (delayed because I had surgery). As we saw how wonderful they were; we added more elements to the design so true to their word they were done by noon on Aug. 28th just hours before my father in law's 90th birthday party with 65 guests. They honored my deadline. Modesto and his crew were extremely hard working, punctual, polite and cleaned up after themselves everyday. Todd was very responsive to any questions or design changes. We will use them again when we replace the other half of the old deck and they know what our requirements will be on that.

I felt that everybody who worked on the project was exceptionally professional. Sometimes, the communication was a little lax, as it can be with some contractors. Ultimately, I got everything I wanted, and they did great work. The owner of the company has been back to make sure I'm satisfied with everything. He is very personable. I've certainly gotten the impression that he cares about how my yard work has come out. I thought the work was top notch. They are probably one of the best landscapers in the city. The scheduling went really well.

They are extremely good. They do excellent work, they clean up after themselves and every one of their workers knows what they are doing. I would highly recommend them.
