Alderwood Landscaping

Have used Alderwood twice on large backyard living space projects and recommend them highly. First, they take the time to work with you on a design (they have designers on staff) that incorporates all elements, provide you with material samples, pictures, etc. When we struggled to make decisions they took us “shopping” to see samples (light fixtures, paver types, etc) and helped us visualize. We’ve been really impressed by this process. The construction crews are highly professional. They are thoughtful and careful with neighbors when dealing with moving equipment in and out, noise, and those kinds of things. They are great communicators and set really good expectations about project length and other details. When we asked for tweaks or changes midstream there was never any grousing or grumbling - they were very focused on making sure we were 100% happy. The guys are our crew were Colin, Max and Michael, and Patrick was the Construction Manager. In both cases, the finished projects were even more stunning than we expected. Top notch.

The work was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. The value was incredible. We had pre and post construction meetings with the Owner Mike Semerad who explained how the project would progress. We had daily briefings with the Site Supervisor explaining what was to be accomplished each day. At the end of each day everything was cleaned up and put away. We had interaction with the Crew who answered any questions we had about what was going on. Everyone who has seen the completed project has been very impressed at the attention to detail. We are so pleased with our yard that we have contracted with Alderwood to redo our front and side yards this year. Of all the home improvement projects that we've done this is the highlight of all our work.

Alderwood Landscape is an exceptional company to work with in all respects. Our experience was positive from start to finish. The landscape architect was especially good at listening to our need/want list and incorporating them into a beautiful and realistic plan. He met with us at least 4 times to help refine the plan and make whatever changes we came up with. He was always very patient and happy to do it, genuinely concerned about making sure that we were happy with the plan. He was also very conscientious about making it all work within our budget. The work crew surpassed all expectations and were extremely professional. There was a project manager on site at all times working in conjunction with 2 crew men. They arrived on time every day and worked hard the entire time they were here. The job site was always cleaned up and orderly when they left at the end of each day. They were fast but very proficient!! The project was completed in just under two weeks. We are extremely happy with the quality of the workmanship and also the materials they used. They were always happy to make any changes we might suggest and were great at problem solving when needed. They all took great pride in their work and showed a high level of dedication to our project. This company really is all about making sure the client is happy and goes to great lengths to make that happen. We could not be happier with the final result, it is everything we wanted it to be. We wouldn't hesitate to hire this company again or to recommend them to everyone we know. In addition, all of their work carries an exceptional guarantee and they have no problem returning to address any issue you might have. Fantastic company!!

very pleased with front yard. Still trying to complete problems in back yard. A new home with many issues that need to be resolved. Worked with Kris who is excellent. Owner came and looked at yard and told us lawn will be complete in July 2014. We have been waiting and hope to see positive results soon!

The customer service provided by Alderwood was excellent. Tim (our architect) worked with us to create a backyard design with which we would be pleased but also worked to stay within our budget (we chose to exceed our originally planned budget to include additions we didn't plan on but wanted). Joe, who oversaw all the onsite work was exceptional. He was friendly, helpful, on schedule, kept us informed on progress and aimed to please. Our project was complete (on time) just a few days prior to a graduation party we hosted for our son and we received LOTS of compliments on our yard. Alderwood was recommended to us by friends, who were equally pleased with their backyard project.

Kris, from Alderwood Landscaping, far exceeded our expectations. He is the only one we worked with so we can't judge the company as a whole. He was professional and really thoughtful about what we were trying to accomplish.
We went back and forth several times on the design and he always responded and followed up immediately.
I feel we got more than our moneys worth on the design and would highly recommend working with Kris to anyone in need of landscape design. A month after our design process was over, I sent him an email asking about a certain tree species and its placement in our design and was blown away by his very detailed and thought out response. He's GREAT!!

My husband and I thought long and hard over taking to leap in doing some fun landscaping for our backyard. This included removing some large tres, building a raise stone patio, installing a louvred gazebo over a new hot tub and fencing. All to blend with an existing very large backyard area. We were afraid it would/could turn into more chaos than we were ready for. At the time we made up our minds to pursue bids from area contractors, a Rep with Alderwood Landscaping happened to stop by our house with information about the company. We thought the company would be beyond our budget after looking at examples of their work, but instead we were pleased to discover that Alderwood worked with us to design something within our budget. It was amazing to us how Alderwood Landscaping's employees and sub-contractors worked with much regard for our neighbors feelings throughout the noisy construction phase. Work was completed in record time with a creww that was extremely considerate. For over a year now we have enjoyed our remodeled backyard, and while enjoying our hot tub (which is nearly every day) in the evening with our yard lights focusing on the details of their work, my husband and I comment every time on what a fantsastic job Alderwood did for us. We are thrilled with the results and would sek them out for ANY landscaping project.

Although they are not inexpensive, the quality of their work was excellent. They responded immediately to our request for a bid, got the bid to us quickly, provided pictures of what they had in mind, and followed up on any questions we had. They started and finished the project exactly when they said they would. Their crew was professional, neat, and efficient.

We are extremely satisfied and would definitely use Alderwood Landscaping again.

Our experience with Alderwood Landscaping was great! From our initial introductory conversations, to visiting sites where their work was in process and completed, we were impressed. We were listened to, our specific considerations were accommodated, we received options and advice and benefited from their experience and knowledge in creating a beautiful landscape in total keeping with our unique outdoor space.

The entire process from, planning to implementation, went very well.  There were a few small unforeseen hiccups in the construction phase. Alderwood worked with us to ensure that the project would be completed on time and on budget.  We were impressed with the quality of product and the employees love of their work, even in the rain.  I've had one irrigation warranty issue and it was fixed within 24 hours after it had been reported to the Alderwood office.
