It took a while from bid to installation because I decided too late last fall that I wanted a patio....
Mick came over mid-fall to give me a bid.  His bid was comparable or a little lower than other bids - including the cost of more expensive baked clay bricks instead of concrete pavers.    By the time I said "yes" however, winter was coming -- so we ran out of time. 
Then spring was so slow to come. 
I called Mick in early April to confirm that I wanted the work done ASAP since company is coming for a graduation - Mick said he'd be here as soon as it stopped raining/snowing.  And he was -- He called Sunday 5/5 (he apologized for calling on a Sunday) to say he'd be here the next day - and Mick, 3 guys and a lot of equipment showed up promptly at 7:30.
The demo was a little difficult since my yard is fenced and the gates are narrow - so everything had to be dug up by hand and hauled in wheelbarrows.  The old concrete was way over-built with lots of re-bar - so it took a lot of sledgehammering. 
Around 1, they got it all dug out (about 10 inches, I'm guessing), and started putting in the gravel and sand foundation.  Then started cutting and laying the brick, and finally tamping and filling the cracks with sand.
They cut all the edge bricks to a perfect semi-circle, then layed the soldier course to finish it off - cutting "keystone" bricks every 4-5 bricks to makes sure the bricks stayed tight.  
They were done and cleaned up by 7 - in time for us to take the lawn chairs out and enjoy an adult beverage on the new patio before sunset
It is beautiful.  And I'm really happy Mick recommended the clay brick - it cost a little more - but looks great with our old house.
The crew was very professional; the crew leader, Adam, checked in regularly to see whether I had questions, or to make sure I liked how it looked.

They were excellent.  The contractor listened to what we wanted and a year and a half later we are still very pleased with the work and the way it looks.

They are very good. They are very professional. They do a job when they say they are going to do a job. Even though their prices are high, it's worth it.

It was very good. He was very good at listening to what I wanted and applying his own talents to make a creative solution that met my needs; he understood what I wanted. In some deconstruction, in the tear down, they ran into more problems than they thought they would. He didn’t come back and get us for more money. I’d go back to him.

"Member; Thanks for your positive report/review of our Landscaping Services. I know Lori enjoyed working with you. I'm aware that we have a modification of the work completed yet to do. Normally we would have made the change this year but due to the late installation date and early snow we will complete the work this coming spring. You are on our "Things to do this Spring" list for 2011. See you then! Thanks for your business."

Mick did a great job with our landscaping throughout the entire process. He returned phone calls promptly and came to the house a couple of times to review plans and work through budget constraints. Mick was a great partner to meet our budget and also provide guidance for what additional planting we could do over the years. The crew was professional and did a wonderful job with the new area without harming existing lawn and cleaned up beautiful before they left. Mick not only gave me detailed directions on how to maintain the new landscaping, he also walked me through other areas of our yard that were landscaped a few years ago and gave advise for additional plants/transplanting. Overall, we were very impressed with Mick's expertise, design, plant choices, communication, and value. We highly recommend utilizing Johnson Creek.

"Members: Thanks for your positive review of our Landscaping Services. I enjoyed working with you as well. I'm very happy with the high visual impact the landscaping created for your front entry for a "modest" investment. Thanks again."

everything went very smoothly from the first visit and estimate. The job started exactly when stated it would. The workers were wonderful. They were friendly and courteous. They did an excellent job, and were done in three days. The patio is beautiful, and is the best home improvement we've ever done, because we spend A LOT of time out there with our neighbors. What could be better than that? In a few years, I am going to rip out the deck on the side of the house and have them connect a matching patio.

Mick was very accommodating and flexible with scaling back original plans and also with modifications and additional requests as the work progressed. I trusted Mick and his crew to do their work while I was away from the property doing mine. I wasn't disappointed. The work was done well and any further requests I had were dealt with in a very reasonable amount of time. They were also neat and tidy. Mick's choices of shrubs and trees make the yard more visually interesting and will provide more privacy with time. The neighbors have even offered their own comments that it looks very nice. It was a pleasant experience. I will likely work with this landscaping company again.
