ISSAQUAH LANDSCAPING INC.

David and his team were amazing to work with.  He was upfront with costs, completed everything in a timely manner, and was very easy to work with.  His team was respectful, hard-working, and really cared about the finishing details.

I can?t say enough good things about Issaquah Landscaping. We?ve just had completed our third project with them, over two properties. David and his entire team are very easy to work with, trustworthy, professional, reliable and tidy.

Issaquah Landscaping completed the entire project to a very high quality, and the result is beyond our expectations. Everything is perfect, and we couldn?t be happier with the service and dream garden they created.

I would hire Issaquah Landscaping for our next project in a heart-beat.

While Issaquah Landscaping gave us the highest bid for our backyard project, we don't regret going with this company one minute. From start to finish it was a fantastic experience. David Rogers was wonderful to work with. His easy going manner and willingness to listen to everything we wanted was what sold us on this company. He was very professional, always on time for our meetings and accommodated our schedule. The crew were fantastic to work with as well. They were all extremely friendly and professional. Even when it was extremely cold (30's and 40's in February) they were there with a smile and a wave for me and my family in the morning. When I made changes to anything they were courteous and accommodating. The work they did was fantastic. They all really took the effort to make sure things were done right and that everything was exactly to my specifications right down to making sure I was happy with the angle of the lighting that lights up the trees. They went above and beyond what was expected and surprised us with small touches like putting trim around the base of existing deck support legs, drilling a hole through the gate latch and attaching a string so it could be opened from the other side, and even bringing my garbage cans in off the street for me while I was out! The only thing that might possibly be a down side was that due to heavy rains the project ran about two weeks longer than we had hoped but there's not much that can be done about the weather. I highly recommend Issaquah Landscaping and all of my neighbors rave about our beautiful backyard.

We hired Issaquah Landscaping to prepare a landscaping plan for our backyard.  After rescheduling several meetings, the owner presented the plan which looked good on paper but was difficult to follow as the recommended plants were not listed in either alphabetical or geographic order.  Additionally, the owner told us we were on our own for verifying whether or not the plants were appropriate for our yard.  After doing research, it appeared that many of his recommendations would quickly overwhelm our small yard.  I have tried to contact the owner multiple times via his website and phone messages to give him a chance to clarify his recommendations. He has yet to respond and we are left with a $500 landscaping plan that appears inappropriate for the size of our yard.

David and crew did a great job and I would definitely use them again!

We hired Issaquah landscaping to create an outdoor "room" for our new hot tub. It is a small family-owned business with a long track record of successful projects on the east side. Initially we worked with the owner, Dave Rogers,  coming up with a design plan. Having already purchased the hot tub, we were in a big hurry to get it working and Dave was most accommodating in terms of setting up a schedule that allowed us to do that. As it turned out, however, there were some delays in delivery that threw off our construction schedule a bit, but Dave proved to be most flexible.   His son Tony served as the on-site project manager. He was delightful to work with. The project ended up taking about twice as long as originally planned, primarily because of the hot tub delivery delays and we added additional work. There were a couple of days, however, where the crew did not show up when we expected them.  That was a minor inconvenience in what proved to be an overall positive experience.   When it came time to do the actual landscaping, my wife asked that whatever they did that it be "lush."  The end result exceeded our expectations. The plantings and layout are beautiful.   The Pennsylvania Bluestone mortared walkway has drawn many "oohs and aahs" from visitors.  I would use Issaquah landscaping again without question. I've already recommended them to several friends and  family.

We have water pooling in our back yard. Issaquah Landscaping came and put in a drainage system. They were finished in 2days. We were very pleased with the service and how fast it was finished. Finally we have a yard not a mud pit!

The crew was very professional and polite. They arrived on time and did the work without any supervision. They finished well before the time and did all the work I asked them to do.

They transformed our outside to a private, relaxing area for us to enjoy. They showed up on Monday and by Thursday I was sunning in my private garden. I would highly recommend them.

The project was delayed but only due to wet weather.

The project took about 2 1/2 weeks because of weather delays.

Our backyard lawn is now useable for the first time in years because of better drainage.

David told  us that, on the first day, they would arrive at about 9 and that on subsequent days they would arrive at about 7:30 am.  They were always punctual.   We were impressed by all the trucks and equipment they had. The superintendant on the job, Osmar (sp?), was fantastic.  He worked hard himself and supervised a staff of 4 people, all of whom knew what to do and how to do it.  We were told that the entire job would take approximately 7 days (not including week-ends and days when they were rained out).  I think that is what it took, although it might have been 7 and 1/2 days ( but we added to the scope of the work after it started, by increasing the size of the patio and adding stones along the fence).  We have had numerous days of heavy rain since then and the drainage problem has been solved!   All the workers paid attention to detail and didn't try to cut corners. At the end of each day, they cleaned off the driveway where they had had the sand or dirt piled.  
David has been in the business for many years and his professionalism shows!  His son, Tony, was actively involved on the project and is also very knowledgable. They aim to please the customer.  Home improvement projects are not always pleasurable, but this one was and the results are wonderful.

very well

We purchased a new home and had to put the entire back yard in. We were referred through a friend and received a quick response from David Rogers at Issaquah Landscape. We were very happy with the suggestions and we did a little work ourselves with the physical labor. A water feature was suggested by David and we thought that would be a cool idea. We Absolutly love our waterfall feature! The neighbors say it looks like a park in the back yard and they also enjoy the sounds of the waterfall. My husband and I would highly recommend this professional Landscaping company.

David and his crew were very punctual and exceptionally well versed in their work.  While they were not the cheapest, they were a long shot from the most expensive; some of the latter being bid at three times David's estimate.  He stayed true to the estimate, with deviations only when asked by us, or - rarely - when a snag was hit and, say, too little material was ordered.  When that did happen, David only charged for the materials; not for the labor.

His crew was fantastic.  All of them personable, professional, and helpful.  The only one which I was not thrilled with was the landscape designer whom he recommended, and were I to do a big redesign again at some point in the future, while I would strongly recommend David and crew, I would pick a different designer.  Not and F grade for her, but pretty average - probably just a C/C+.

My only complaint with the work was the sourcing of soil from Pacific Topsoil, which turned out to be littered with debris, including broken glass and sharp plastic, but as I've read up since this is a common complaint against Pacific Topsoil, and I don't hold it against David or his team at all.  When we had David and crew back out later for some additional work (we added a few more irrigated vegetable boxes), we simply asked that the soil come from Cedar Groves, and the stuff looks good.

After living with the yard for a couple of years, we decided we needed to make a few minor updates, and had David and crew back out again, the work was great.  Lest people think that the change was a short coming of the design offered up by David's team, they had actually recommended in the first round that we go with what we ultimately decided to change to a couple years later.

We contacted Issaquah Landscaping for an estimate and the owner, David, met with us to review the project, goals and timeline.  David was a pleasure to work with; he arrived on time, discussed ideas and was prompt with an estimate response.  David and his team began the project on time and completed the project within the discussed timeline.  They were able and willing to make changes on the fly to ensure the project met our vision.  We are pleased with the services provided by Issaquah Landscaping and look forward to enjoying our new space.

Dave (owner) and his team were great. Dave met with us for the original estimate and design and listened to what we wanted and had great suggestions. Once we agreed to what needed to be done, work began on time and finished on time. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations. The team quickly removed all the existing grass and preped the area for the patio. We had a drainage issue with the existing grass. Care was taken to ensure proper drainage into the existing French drain. Paver installation was quick and all stones were fit and cut well. The pergola was well constructed.  6 large cedar beams were sunk in concrete. They cut the existing concrete, sunk the beams, and inserted pavers around the beam to give a nice tied in look with the new paver patio. The vegetable garden was a simple rock border. They added composted soil to the bed so it was ready to plant. They converted my grass irrigation zone to a drip irrigation system for the garden.  The landscape lighting is high quality and was a really nice touch.  They ran the wiring around to the side of the house to hide the transformer box. This was a good example of how they always looked for the best way to get the job done. All of the team seemed to take pride in their work.

They did a fine job, got it done on time and on budget. Cleaned up all of the old steps and removed them.

We purchased a new home that had a small 25' x 30' backyard area. There was not much useable space because of a sloping hill that took up about one-third of the area. When Dave came out to look it over and prepare an estimate, he listened closely to what we had in mind and provided some very original ideas on how to maximize useable space. He was very friendly and professional. We received an estimate from him that was very reasonable, and that was also lower than another company that had bid on our small job. The work began within one day of the promised start date. My wife and I got along great with Dave's work crew. They were very hard-working, friendly, highly skilled, and professional in every way. They started on time every day, were respectful of our house and property, and left everything as clean and orderly as possible during the process. When we made some changes and additions to the original work statement during the project, Dave and his crew were flexible in incorporating them. We are extremely satisfied with the work that was performed and we are enjoying our new backyard. It has added immensely to the enjoyment of our new home. As soon as I can, I will add some photos to my report. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND ISSAQUAH LANDSCAPING !!

I think they were very professional and stuck with their quote. They were easy to work with, timely and kept me informed. They had a big team and it took them 3 or 4 days. The owner's son was on the site working and directing the whole time.

David and his son Tony were a pleasure to work with. We had penciled in the time the prior fall to begin work in the spring. David was right on time with the project. The crew was incredible. They arrived at 8 A.M. and by 8:01 they were already moving dirt. The first week, there were 7 employees working. Everything moved like a well-tuned machine. Price for the job was similar bids, but I chose Issaquah Landscaping because they were so professional. I am actually having them start a 2nd project for me this week.
