Mr Garrison gave me a bid 0n 27 April and his crew came on May 1st and accomplished everything we discussed plus did extra work
that enhanced our landscaping project. His crew is highly professional and very efficient.

Review of work completed by Sandstone Creation I selected Jim Garrison as my landscaper because I saw the first rate job he completed for my neighbor. It is noteworthy that Jim is also a professional artist who has created enormous sculptures that would take your breath away. I wanted landscaping that would endure but also take your breath away, and I got it. He listened to my thoughts, then drew a detailed plan so there was no ambiguity.
The old, disintegrating sandstone retaining walls are gone, replaced by boulders - an attractive mixture of sizes from humungous on down. The neighborhood shook on the day the boulders came. The new walls are not merely 90 degree structures. They are artfully layered with plantings on both levels. I believe the layers give it graceful lines.
The plants were chosen by Jim to withstand drought – and are surviving even through the current conditions.
The rotting railroad tie steps are replaced by tinted (adobe yellow) concrete steps and a sturdy, stylish bronze-toned railing. Not fussy, just smart looking. From the steps, the walkway divides into two narrower walkways, also of tinted concrete.
Over the first winter a single crack appeared in one of the walkways. Jim's solution was genius. He cut and removed a section – about 20”x36” – and replaced it with a dark bronze tinted concrete section. He cut our house numbers from brass and embedded the numbers in the concrete while it was still wet. The new section is finished and it's beautiful. He truly 'made lemondade', as they say. Admirable, too, was how he used ethics to solve the problem. He simply asked himself what he would want if he were the homeowner. And then he did it.

I found them on Angie's List. The owner was on site. He came out and gave us a quote and was willing to work with us on the price. He went under budget and he was able to cut back on his original quote for us. It actually came out less than everybody else. He was pretty responsive. He was a likable guy and did absolutely great work. We would definitely use him again in the future.
