Johnson Creek

We've worked with Mick Johnson and Johnson Creek since 2001. Talented in many ways, Mick is particularly good at transforming small spaces into beautiful, functional areas. He designed our original back and front yard - pavers, raised flower beds, pond/waterfall- and has helped us maintain and improve our landscaping right up to April, 2015. He and his crew are prompt, knowledgeable, professional and easy to work with. He personally oversees the project and is at the site initiating the project, checking in during the process, and making sure to review everything with us at its completion.

They did a nice job. They did a lot of work tore out the old landscaping around the house and put in new landscaping.

Hi crew quickly and efficiently completed the project within the agreed upon timelines and cleared away all construction waste. The final project has garnered multiple compliments! We are very pleased with the results and I highly recommend Johnson Creek.

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.

Yes, I would hire this company for a future job.

It turned out very well; we were very happy with them. I would strongly recommend them for any city lot landscaping job.

They were excellent. We also had them come out and do some mulch. Mick is a great guy. He does great work. I would highly recommend them.

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.

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.
