I had a leak in a sprinkler valve after a late freeze last Fall. I called Boulder Landscape & Design because they recently completed my new back yard and I liked working with them. Cory tentatively put me on their schedule for the Spring. After a few months of winter and once temperatures started to warm up again I called and BLD still had me in their plans. On the day of the job the team arrived on time as they always have and they got to work. I asked them to move my entire valve manifold/box about 15-20 feet to a new location which required hand trenching. They replaced all of the valves and manifold, installed new valve cover boxes, and tied into the existing underground water lines and electrical for the sprinkler timer. Based on recommendation from BLD I also had them replace the vacuum breaker so that everything was new. After the install/repairs all of my sprinklers are working great with no leaks. The team even pointed out a few flaws in the old installation (separate company) that either caused leaks or eventually would have, and BLD installed the new parts with proper standards. BLD came back to help me troubleshoot when the sprinkler timer would not operate a few zones. Cory gave me advice and tips via text, and when that didn't work they came out and fixed all of the electrical connections. They even had a multi-meter to test electrical continuity to pinpoint the issue. I really appreciated their professionalism, attentiveness and responsiveness. The price was good for the work performed. BLD is a great company that I will continue to use for my outdoor project needs. I highly recommend them.

It didn’t go at all! I called this company and left a voice message and waited almost a week and no one ever called back. It’s scary to wonder what kind of work they would do or if they would even show up had I actually hired them if they can’t even return a phone call.

Boulder Landscape & Design is one of the best companies I have ever worked with. From start to finish the project was executed superbly. BLD has exceptional communication regarding the start of the project and progress throughout. The project pricing was reasonable, and once the project commenced there were few changes to the base price except for change orders that I requested. The change order process was simple and smooth, and increases or decreases to the contract price were clearly and thoroughly explained. The work crew was always punctual, and courteous, and they were great at maintaining a clean work site. Their workmanship is great and the final product that includes grading/leveling, fences, sprinklers, sod, soil amendment, edging, and mulch is superb. Cory was at our house everyday to oversee the job and direct the team, and he was always willing to consult and answer questions. Cory was also the person who provided the initial bid that was very thorough. The BLD contract process with Cory was simple and easy to execute. I highly recommend Boulder Landscape & Design.

Sent a message to see about getting an estimate for a water feature for the front of our home. When I received a call back they did not seem overly interesting in helping me out at all but scheduled a time for an estimate two weeks later. When the estimate day arrived we had received some snow so they called to reschedule for the following week an hour later than the current week. When the day arrived this time they arrived 2 hours early and I was out running errands. They called to say that they were at the house and I stated that I thought the time was to be 2 hours later but that I could be back to the house in 5 minutes. They told me that they could not wait and that they did not think things were going to work out, that sometimes a provider and a client just did not click and that maybe we should just forget the whole thing. I told them that I would be leaving a negative review for them on Angie's List and they said that was fine.

Cory runs a quality operation. He's a straight shooter, native to the area, familiar with our expansive soils. His staff is seasoned, long term, honest, and he and his workers operate with integrity. Additionally, he really stands behind his work, has great communication and you get no surprises, everything done according to plan, with quality results.

Boulder Landscape & Design initially did a complete overhaul of our backyard in 2015, including sprinklers, sod, a flagstone patio and walkway, and additional landscaping and plantings. They did an amazing job, and they were having to work with a yard that had been completely destroyed by another contractor who tore it up and split. We've enjoyed the space for the last year and a half, and when I noticed there was a bit of settling on the flagstone steps, they had a crew out to repair at no charge. Cory is extremely friendly, professional and responsive. I'd highly recommend the company to anyone looking for landscaping assistance, big or small.

The 2-week project was tidied up at the end of each day, and never once did we feel like we were in a construction zone, even though there was demolition, grading, and lots of disposal of mature plantings going on the first week and deliveries, planting over 130 individual plants, mulching and top soil going on the second week. A clean area was maintained throughout the process. The team was professional, knowledgeable and efficient, with the project starting and ending on schedule. BLD stays true to their estimate and even accommodated our request for some add-ons as the project progressed. I will definitely be recommending BLD to my neighbors!
Description of Work
The BLD team transformed our front and side landscaping from overgrown and out-dated to water-wise and appealing. Paige's design layout utilized natural plantings, boulders, and grasses to form a welcoming front entryway and Chuy's expertise in irrigation and draining improved the flow water from our downspout and assured water would not collect near the house.

Cory and his experienced team were punctual, communicative and delivered a very professional, attractive, clean job. They even re-routed a sprinkler head that would have been blocked by the new fence.

Created a river rock rock filled railroad tie border next to the sidewalk on our side property. The railroad ties were dug up and reused from another area on our property. Then, they installed a decorative fence completely around the back yard to keep in a toddler and keep out the neighborhood dogs. They did a great job!

Little by little the quality of the mowing jobs has been diminishing. They no longer tend to the areas around the perimeter of the lawn, as far as mowing under the shrubs, trees. They built a birm in the back yard at her request, and planted 4 bushes on it. The grass has grown up so high around the bushes that you can't see them, and the birm appears as a big lump of wild grass. They don't keep it trimmed. A couple of weeks ago, she called the office to request that someone come out and connect her sprinklers. As of today, no one has called back or showed up. Her lawn was dying. Thankfully we've had a dab of rain. I personally am very disappointed with the company. Travis is a very nice man, and the lady who answers the phone in the office is very pleasant.... the workers are pleasant. However you ARE made to feel as though he takes on way too much work and simply doesn't have time to get to it all. Travis needs to listen to customer concerns and take them seriously.

I encouraged a little friend of mine in Boulder (87 year old widow) to use this service to take care of her large yard last year. At first they were really responsive and did a beautiful job. This year, however, they have been very lax and I'm suggesting that it would behoove us to find another company. She has expressed to me that she feels as though she must be on the bottom of their list and not very important to them. On the above date, the grass was mowed.

Overall, the outset with Paige was GREAT! But the response to our repeated issues with the irrigation/sprinkler was what led me to give Boulder Landscape and Design a "C" overall.
Description of Work
It bothers me that I have to give Boulder Landscape and Design a "C" for the work they performed at our house. Our initial experience with Paige the designer was good and the stonework the design crew did was great. Unfortunately, the sprinkler/irrigation work completd on our home was lacking to the say the least and the response to our repeated complaints about the work was terrrible. I felt sorry for Paige -- the designer -- who had laid out a great foundation for our relationship with Boulder landscape and design, but I kept getting the run around from Travis, her manager, about fixing our sprinkler issues. In sum, Don't use them for irrigation -- our plants kept dying because they were receiving weigh too much water and the Boulder folks didn't realize that they had planted them in clay in section of our yard facing North. Don't use a credit card -- in this day and age when credit card use is a norm -- they charged me an additional 6% for using a credit card. Don't use them if you live outside Boulder. They finally told me that our job -- in Broomfield -- was outside their service territory and that they were no longer doing jobs in Broomfield. That would have been nice to know from the outset of the job. That is, it would have been nice to know that we were such a burden.

We started talking with this company in April before we even closed on the house. We were told that they could start as soon as we moved in (June 5th). However by the time the landscape design person came to the house in May the start date had shifted to end of June early July. I paid a third fo the quoted cost for the entire job to 'hold the date for July 9th' and the day before the work was to start I still hadnt heard from them. I emailed them to ask what time they were showing up the next day and was told they werent able to come until the following week. After talking with the owner of the company they agreed to start that week as agreed however the job that was estimated to take "~2 weeks, no more than 3 weeks for sure" ended up taking almost 6 weeks to finish. They underestimated the cost of the project and I was upcharged just under $1000 for various 'unexpected costs' including the doubling of the cost to run a gas line to the fire pit and an extra $190 for having curved stairs instead of square going down to the patio. I was told they actually lost money on the job so apparently they underestimated the job to an even greater extent than what I was asked to cover. The amount of colored concrete required was underestimated because they had to stop 3/4 the way through the pouring to wait for another load which led to a change in color where the two loads joined. Hopefully there wont be a 'cold joint' issue there down the road. On the positive side, the landscape design person took a lot of time working with me to get the patio design we wanted for the cost we could afford. It was not easy to find the compromise considering our budget. Aslo the overall the finished product looks nice and we have been enjoying our patio and the fire pit with no issues to date.

First, our apologies to Customer. We try extremely hard to do our best to give people the service they expect, and more. So we are not pleased that we did not meet her expectations. Yes, we did underestimate how quickly we could get to her job. We had two jobs ahead of her that went longer than expected and we were not able to start when we had promised. We truly regret this and we have learned that we need to add a buffer to all of our projects. And yes, we did underbid the job. We charged less than what it cost us. We constructed a very lovely stone bench that went over time and costs. In fact, her neighbor called us to say he wanted the same design! So again, our apologies and we will try to improve our performance and take her comments seriously.

The above scenario had been happening since Boulder Landscape Design turned on our sprinkler system on April 13th, 2012. They did not believe we had a problem and kept blaming my husband and I for changing the water zones! They woud come out and say the grass looked fine when it was dying in the front everywhere. Stalling was their middle name. When they finally spent the time to check it out the end of June it still took until July 3rd before this problem was resolved. Until then Travis the owner wanted to be paid immediately before we knew if any of this would work. He was very rude asking for the money at the front door before the second Rainbird was installed. Now I have many dead grass areas in the front yard with huge weed patches where the water did not cover for a long time and they are not concerned to remedy the damage thier neglect brought about.
Description of Work
I wanted them to fix our poor water coverage from the sprinkler system that they had installed 7/2012. The 17 zones kept lining up on the same hour after they would come out and reset them three times. They finally figured out it was the Hunter sprinkler system that was failing. So they replaced the system with a Rainbird and that one started doing the same thing so they replaced the new one after turning in the first Raindbird which was under warranty. Finally accomplished on July 3rd this year!

It’s just based on the estimate; I met with the guy who came out here to give us the estimate. Basically on their website, their design is great. They guy who came out to talk to us was very personable, willing to listen and give us ideas. The estimate was high. Other than that, he was prompt and polite. We didn’t end up going with him though because of the high estimate. I will use them in the future if the price is right.

They touted how well rated they were on Angie’s list as one of their sales pitches and that’s one of the reasons I chose them. They came out and walked the property with me and just disappeared so there was no call, no bid, no quote and no nothing so I just forgot about it. I wouldn’t find it that professional it’s all related to one issue and I don’t want to ruin their business but they came out telling me how high rated they were in Angie’s list and they don’t call me.

I had high hopes for Boulder Landscape and Design. I left a message stating that I needed work done and Sally called me back right away. We set up a time for Travis to come over and meet with me. He took a good amount of time going over my property and all of the yard/landscaping work that we needed done, including tree trimming and removal, bush trimming, fixing of fences and flower beds as well as some new landscape plantings. He said it would take him a week to get an estimate to us. That was on August 19. I heard nothing from them since. So, finally, I called and left a message - 4 days ago. (Monday was a holiday, so they've actually had 3 days.) Still, no word from them, no email either. That really makes me frustrated because of all the time wasted waiting on their quote and now I have to start the process over with a different company. Meanwhile, my yard look unkempt and overgrown.

They were not responsive (at least as compared to other reputable companies) and finally did decline the business because ''it wasn't enough money'' for their business. The offered only ''good luck'' finding someone at this time of year to fill my needs. Note that I was open to pursuing business in the spring but since they declined the business without choosing to talk to me in detail they did not know this. In addition they did not offer other landscape companies as an alternative. They left this customer with no alternatives but a dead-end.
