Boulder Landscapes managed to fit us into their schedule when others were too busy to take the job. Brian and John were extremely professional, courteous and polite. They worked extremely hard over a 2 day period to remove some boulders from our property. Most companies would have probably given up, but they saw it as a challenge. I would highly recommend Boulder Landscapes and their services. Great job!

Great. They found that the sink hole was very deep but thankfully had not yet caused any sinking of the porch steps or the walkway. Without impacting any of the plantings or a retaining wall that was very close to the situation, they hand filled the sink hole and compressed the material substantially to address the issue and to ensure there is no future settling. I was really worried and their rapid and professional response but my fears to rest so quickly. Back to being perfect with no additional impact. Not an easy job since it was all done by hand without the benefit of a machine.

Brian and his team did a fantastic job. They were professional and cared about our project as if it was their own. We had a lot of questions and concerns, and Brian fielded every one of them. The end result surpassed our expectations. The stonework looks great and natural, like it's been there forever. Couldn't be happier. And the excavation work looks great for being a tricky task to execute for our project.

Brian and his wonderful team performed a huge amount of work last fall in my backyard and front yard. First of all I would like to mention that I was talking with several contractors, some of them were scared by the large volume and difficulties associated with preforming this project. Brian gave me the best price, his team designed the backyard layout because I had a very slight idea how to make it look good. Brian is very punctual, he calls if he is 30 min late. The team is very skilled and pleasant. They never missed time, unless it was raining. Brian used huge boulders for the retaining wall in the backyard, put mulch on the second level, planted 12 tall grasses, finish design with river stones, planted grass.

His team also installed a block retaining wall in the front of the house, fixed the driveway, made flower beds using smaller boulders. My neighbors were very impressed, a number of them came over to check the place.

Brian is very helpful and friendly, he is also willing to give you an advice, even after the work is done.

I highly recommend his service.

When I initially contacted Brian via messaging him through Angie's list, he was very honest about how busy was.  He told me that he was too busy to help me for the next couple of weeks.  I thanked him for being responsive, and asked him for a referral.  He then told me he would swing by to take a look at my problem, which was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.  He was at my doorstep about 2 hours later.  He took a look at my problem, gave me a few options, and provided a fair estimate.  He told me he could have a crew come by in the next 7-8 days.  I agreed, and a week later he called to let me know they would be stopping by.  He had 2 guys on his crew.  They brought all the necessary gravel in a big truck and banged out the job in about 6 hours.  They cleaned up after themselves.  They were courteous, fast, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing.  
Brian is professional, fair, and honest.  His guys work hard and do a good job.  I couldn't recommend him and Boulder Landscapes more highly.

We couldn?t be happier with the outcome of our project.  From the beginning, Brian knew exactly what was needed to solve our
eroding hillside.  He was very courteous and professional.  The crew was fantastic, professional, very hard working and friendly.  They went above and beyond what we had expected, in fact, we think they were the best company we?ve ever had do work for us.  Jennifer has such vision, a true asset to the company as are the rest of the team.  The hillside turned out fabulous and the dry stacked cobblestone wall they rebuilt came out excellent.  Top stars on all accounts!

The job went extremely well. Brian came out personally and gave us a price on the work. He explained in detail the steps of the project. I felt very comfortable with him that this will be perfect when completed. The job went quicker that expected and I could not have asked for a more relaxing place to enjoy a fire at. The work was done very neatly. I will absolutely be calling him again for more work at our home this upcoming spring.

From the time of my initial call to Brian for an estimate until after the job was complete, Brian always responded very quickly to my calls and was easy to work with.  He was accommodating and willing to communicate in whatever way worked best for me - phone, text, email, etc.   He provided valuable suggestions for how to best accomplish the project without trying to push me in any one direction.  Within a couple weeks of my first contact, Brian sent his crew out and completed the project in one day.  I was very pleased with how the wall turned out.  His guys did a very nice job.  There was one minor finishing touch that we had talked about that they didn't do that day.  When I asked Brian about it he came right out within a couple days and completed it.  Overall, I was very pleased with the work they did and the price was a good bit less than some other quotes I got.  I would definitely hire them again for another project.

Brian was very responsive and professional from the initial contact. His enthusiasm and energy was very refreshing - it was obvious he takes pride in his work. When we decided to move forward he made arrangements to complete my project that following week. Throughout the entire process he was involved and on top of everything. The cost was fair and the finished project is awesome. I would recommend him without hesitation.

Brian and his crew were fantastic.  They were professional, friendly and easy to work with.  The end result far exceeded our expectations.  We are proud of our backyard and are looking forward to spending lots of time there next summer.

I also feel it's necessary to explain how we came about hiring Brian.  We had just replaced our retaining wall and had an awful experience with the contractor we had used.  He left our backyard a mess and I started looking for landscapers to repair the yard.  When Brian came out, I was only asking him to look at the landscaping projects.  He took it upon himself to inspect our retaining wall and informed me of its poor construction and dummy drains.  He wasn't trying to increase his own scope of work, he was genuinely looking out for our investments (he actually encouraged me to contact the original contractor to repair the wall).  Because of his care and concern, we decided to use him not only for our landscaping, but also to rebuild our wall.  Best decision we made!

The owner is very creative and made something that I could not even envision.
Great communication from him as well as collaboration on the approach throughout the process.  I am very happy with the outcome.
The job was done on schedule and on budget.
The team of workers were very professional, very hard working and took every care to ensure that there was no damage to my existing property - even though they had a very narrow passage into my back yard.
The team was also professional friendly and generous to my neighbors who had to live through a few weeks of construction activity.
The outcome is a decorative dry creek bed, bordered by a small retaining wall to frame the entrance - the dry creek bed acts as a natural path to the back corner of my yard where there is now a new small sitting area with a natural stone bench.
This area sloped area originally had huge and dangerous pine trees - and was very dark and gloomy.  Now it is a paradise.

I found Boulder Landscapes through Angie's List.  After reading all the great reviews, I contacted Brian, the owner and landscape/hardscape designer.  From the get go, I knew he was the contractor for us.  Brian had the experience on the type of wall construction we were looking for.  A Versi-Lok wall is a formula construction.  Building a wall of boulders is a science of design, know how and workmanship.
Brian and his crew did a great job from initial contact, to design, to installation, to cleanup.  Brian was in constant communication and promptly returned any of my calls or texts.  If he had to be a little late, he always told me.  I never had to call him wondering where he was.  Brian and his crew worked on our job until completion-no leaving to work on other jobs in-between ours.  Everyone did a great job.  They were hardworking, conscientious, and loved what they were doing.
The retaining wall is huge.  It is 37 feet long and 5-6 feet high and has an extension along the steps that is 16 feet long and 3 feet high.  It was so interesting to watch the crew select, chisel, move and fit these 1000-2000 pound boulders together into a wall.  The boulder wall actually cost less than the Versi-Lok wall that he had an estimate on.  If you want something average, go with Versi-Lok.  Boulder Landscapes will do a great job on that too.  But if you want something "Wow", go with natural boulders, either on a large scale like ours, or smaller to fit your needs.  I can't say enough great things about Brian and Boulder Landscapes.  Thanks!

This company did work for me a few months ago. They did a great job. I wasn't disappointed this time either.Brian was  wonderful with returning calls and keeping me updated. He also has good suggestions.
The workers arrived on time and were very nice. They never seemed bothered if I had a question or comment.
I would highly recommend this company and hope to use them in the future. My yard looks so much better!

Brian and his crew did such a great job from initial contact to  completion.  Had some delays at first due to all the rain in July.  However, Brian kept in contact and updated us all the time.  when it wasn't raining, they were here. We worked closely with Brian as the project moved forward  running ideas and tweaking things.  Brian has a great sense of landscape design.  The project was quite large and the crew worked extremely hard.  Always very polite and proud of their work.  It shows.  We can't say enough how pleased and happy we are with the end result.  They transformed a ho-hum, I hate going into the backyard into something beautiful!  We have another project in the works with Brian for the front yard.

It all looks great and working with Brian was easy. Always available/reachable. Brian is very personable and makes the process painless. He promptly responded to my voice mail/ inquiry to answer any questions and/or make an appt to come out and provide an estimate. I had other landscapers that live streets away from my house never even respond.
