Impressions Outdoor Living, LLC

"We are thrilled we have had the opportunity to earn yet another happy customer who found us on Angie's List. Our goal is to always exceed expectations!"

"The member approached my truck in a Starbucks parking lot and asked if I were interested in offering an alternate proposal on a patio proposal he had already received. We quickly connected and our proposal for the project moved forward. As the member mentioned, the original scope of the patio project had expanded to address grading, drainage and other aesthetic concerns on all four sides of his home. We were able to adapt quickly, which entails prioritizing while we have heavy equipment on site. Considering the many variables and challenges involving this project, upon completion, we successfully transformed a circa 1970's landscape into an inviting Outdoor Living space. We are thankful for the opportunity to offer our services and thrilled to deliver the results! We look forward to building on this relationship and providing our services for future projects. Thank you again for your business the member!"

"Impressions Outdoor Living, LLC provided an initial consultation for a relatively simple paver patio design and installation. Due to ongoing discussions with this member, the project gradually expanded in scope to include a significantly larger patio which required a retaining wall, a free standing seating wall and two access points [stairways] from the home. The expansion of the original project naturally entailed greater cost than the originally stated budget. As mentioned, we did offer alternatives to scale back the project making it both more palatable and consistent with their budgetary constraints. We offered further clarification that our firm does in fact provide peripheral plantings as part of our service to our clients, but in this case, we deferred the peripheral planting to the gardening firm from our initial consultation. We pride ourselves on clear and open communication throughout every project, from initial consultation through final implementation and execution. I enjoyed meeting with this member and sincerely hope we have an opportunity to be of further service."

"This project was a collaborative effort with a highly regarded garden design firm that Impressions Outdoor Living has an ongoing relationship with. We provided consultation and assisted in the hardscape design and installation suggesting a retaining wall to level out a portion of the garden and thermal top and bottom glacial boulder steps to provide access to this area. The idea was to retain and level this area in preparation for a circular flagstone patio with a possible freestanding seating wall and firepit as the next phase to enhance and complete this beautiful outdoor garden retreat. We are currently working on concepts toward this goal!"

"My client contacted me through a referral in need of assistance removing decorative landscape rock so they could explore more creative opportunities. Though this is not the type of project we typically engage due to the limited scope, I am happy to have been able to help them resolve their issue and offer some helpful suggestions/referrals."

"This project involved a major drainage issue and budgetary constraints that we were able to resolve both esthetically and within budget though a phased in approach. There was approximately 8" of sand beneath an existing patio and negative grade causing water to literally pool beneath the patio and next to the foundation, ultimately penetrating the foundation walls causing interior water seepage. We resolved this issue by removing the sand base and installing new compacted base material and a new patio so water would drain off of the patio properly. Although this resolved water next to the foundation, it did not correct water now standing in the surrounding area. To resolve this issue, we installed a dry creek bed allowing excessive water to drain properly to the street and providing an esthetically pleasing element to their landscape. It was a pleasure working with this client to resolve their drainage and budgetary dilemma. I look forward to assisting them in the next phase of their project!"
