We are very happy with the results. Bob clearly explained how the project would go and explained options. He took the time to fully understand what our goals were with the project.

Bob and his team did a fantastic job on removing and installing a new paver patio for us. Bob was great to work with, he made sure we had the information we needed to make the best selection on the pavers for us. Bob gave us a schedule and stuck to it as the weather would permit. The work area was left clean after the work day was over and his team was very courteous. The patio looks great and I will definitely recommend Carlson Hardscape to our friends and neighbors.

Description of Work: Added on to existing patio; scheduling initially held up by weather, but when they came they did an excellent job. When rain washed away (immediately!) the surrounding black dirt fill, they came and replaced right away.

Mr Carlson was impressive! He took his time to explain each step of the process, he even patiently answered my most ignorant questions. He appeared to be very meticulous and detail oriented in his work. The patio is beautiful!

Bob was very responsive throughout the process of estimating, scheduling and performing the job. He was knowledgeable about the work to be done and his bid was competitive. He rearranged his schedule to accommodate my needs and get the job done before winter set in. He and John did an excellent job and left the site very clean. The pavers look very nice--you'd never know they'd been taken up and re-laid--and the edging is greatly improved. Bob was also meticulous in assuring proper water drainage. I'd certainly hire him again.
Description of Work: Took up a section of old pavers, re-graded to direct water away from the house, put the pavers back, replaced the edging.

I was taking advantage of the 'Big Deal', $450 for a Paver patio. Bob Carlson came over and gave me an estimate of how much it would be to replace the brick area that was next to the garage in my back yard. I also asked him for an esitmate if I were to have that extended to the steps of my deck. He brought a booklet with paver styles and colors so I could choose what I liked best. I told him I would have to think about it before I decided on which plan I wanted to go with. He patiently waited several weeks before I made up my mind. I appreciated that he gave me time and didn't bug me. They came on July 25th and working. They had the patio finished the next day. They came back to fill in around the edges with fresh black dirt so I could reseed that area with grass. Bob Carlson was always a nice guy and very easy going as was his assistant. They did a great job. The patio looks great and I have received numerous compliments on it. Definitely worth it.

The project looks great. We'd definitely recommend him to others and ask him to do other work for us, if needed.
Description of Work: Bob, came and looked at our patio project, reviewed some options for paver styles, colors and patio design. He told us about needing to lower a small rise in our lawn beyond the patio and raising the grade of the fill along the garage/house to avoid water coming toward the house in any rain storm (an issue we hadn't worried about when the area was grass.). He suggested using a PVC pipe to enclose our main lawn sprinkler system line that ran under the patio to avoid possibly needing to dig up a part of the patio if there was any future issue with the sprinkler system. He told us about costs in his estimate. He marked the patio to assist us in getting ready for the project. He returned phone calls and exchanged emails and responded to questions, concerns and our ideas in a timely fashion before, during and after the project as needed. He called after the project was over to check on how satisfied we were with his work.

Description of Work: Bob from Carlson came out and gave me an estimate the day after a big storm hit my neighborhood. He was friendly and professional and promptly provided an estimate of the job. Unfortunately, I have some expensive work that needs to be done due to storm damage and plumbing problems so I don't have the money to do the patio project this year. I let Bob know that I would be unable to do this project at this time.

We purchased a deal on a paver patio through Angie's List. Bob came out to our house, offered great suggestions specific to our space and designed a patio that was just what we were looking for. He didn't try to "up sell" us on the offer, but instead worked within the parameters of the offer to meet our needs. The project itself went smoothly, everything was handled professionally, and the final product looks great.
Description of Work: Designed and installed a paver patio in our front yard with a flagstone transition from our existing front sidewalk.

Description of Work: I understood when I purchased the deal that there would be some additional expense for excavating the area and the base layer of gravel/sand, but when Bob Carlson came out to consult, I was shocked to hear him say that those items typically add an additional $2000 to the project cost. Despite the fact that my project area is wide open and completely accessible (no additional charges for removing existing surfaces, accessing tight spaces, etc.) and smaller than the voucher would have covered, his bid came in with a project cost of $2150. He did offer an Angie's List discount of $750, but that discount included the $450 voucher I'd already paid for, so the project would actually cost me $1850 - more than four times the price of the voucher, for a space 40% smaller than the size offered in the voucher. While I won't go as far as to call this a bait & switch, it was certainly misleading to say that the voucher would get me a 100sf "Paver Stone Patio, Driveway or Walkway (Delivered and Installed)". I would like to clarify that I don't hold this against the company - Bob was prompt, professional, and gave me thoughtful feedback and suggestions for the project. I don't think he intended anything deceptive in this. But unfortunately, the additional expense is too far outside my budget and I simply can't afford to do the project at this cost. It's unfortunate that the Big Deal listing wasn't clearer about the actual costs of completing the project. Offering "$450 off a completed paver project" would have been more accurate.

First of all, I assumed and I'm hoping, this is my first experience with Angie's List, since I did not have anyone in my peer or influence that could recommend a company, so based on reputation or past work, that's why I went to Angie's List and thought out 2 ideas and decided to do the pavers just based on my own preferences and when I contacted them, they responded came out and very agreeable, very helpful, explained my priorities and were just really willing to work with what's important to me. They've been very responsive. Initial impression, both my husband and myself and that was the first time alone and then the second time he came back with a quote and with some discussion if what we're going to do, my husband was here and he felt the same way, that he felt that he appears to be a man of his word and integrity, he explained and we don't know how long we'll be going to be in this house so this is something that needs to be done at the same time if we were 10 years younger and thought that we would be here a longer time, we would take a little different approach and cost was important and he was able to give suggestions and provide ideas that met the goal on how we want the project to be completed. So far so good and if not, we will certainly not hesitate to register a complaint.
Description of Work: We've just had the initial meeting and signed the contract with Carlson Hardscape Inc. It must have been the first week in June, they offered a special and I was why I responded, I was able to decide to use them based on a special coupon offer that they had it on Angie's List. They're removing an old patio and putting in a new one, a paver patio and it would be wonderful.

When I originally called, it went to voicemail. He returned the call promptly. We talked about the project that we wanted to have done at our lake home. Unfortunately, he does not service that area. He did provide give a general quote of what I would be looking at for the work. He has a very professional demeanor.

Bob was excellent to work with from the first contact to completion of the project. He consulted with us throughout the installation process to make sure our wishes were being met. His work was meticulous and the outcome more than met our expectations. We would not hesitate to use Carlson Hardscape again for future projects and, in fact, plan to do so.

Sue Carlson does what she does because she loves it. She takes great care in the plan development, keeping your personal thoughts and issues in mind at all times. Would we use Sue again? Yes! She is a treasure to work with, has a great knowledge of the planning, design and selection of plantings.
Description of Work: Sue helped us create a new back garden. The current plantings had become over powering regarding up-keep and work. We decided on a garden with Asian feelings. Lots of grasses, new trees, Asian accent garden pieces an will add a stunning TEA HOUSE in the garden this summer to finish it off. Sue was totally hands on from the very start. She was present to get the plants in place, there when things happened that were not planned. We had a few issues with plantings that were not available. Sue worked it out and the feeling of the garden never never changed.

Description of Work: Bob was really nice and came by twice to look at the area we were wanting to put a patio on. We felt like the estimate was a bit on the high end and ended up contacting a few other landscapers to price out our project as well. We ended up deciding to go with a different provider who is able to do a larger project for us at a cost lower than what Bob was able to do. Bob was really good at responding to emails and phone calls and was always willing to answer any questions we had. It just came down to cost for us.

Excellent See statement above.
Description of Work: Carlson Hardscape installed pavers on a patio in our back yard and also installed a patio and walkway on the front of our home. Bob Carlson and his crew were on time and worked within our budget to produce a wonderful product for us. Bob came out and helped us select the material and design for the project and his judgment was right on the money. Bob,s many years of installing hardscapes was quite evident in his attention to detail and professional manner. The work was started on the scheduled time and was completed on time. When they were done and cleaned up you could not tell they had even been there except for the wonderful patio and walkway they left behind. We were completely satisfied with the work and would suggest Carlon Hardscape to anyone who needs this type of work done.
