I received a referral to Hiep from a relative to get a 2 layer retaining wall built in my backyard and we easily scheduled a time for her to come and check out the space to give an estimate. She was communicative, followed through on her timeline and provided multiple options for the stone blocks. Her team was very friendly, hard working and detail oriented about the build/line-up of stones in the wall. They even worked through the rain in order to finish within two days! I am very pleased with the beautiful appearance and the overall quality! I love my new retaining wall! read more

I would confidently recommend this company. Hiep was referred to me by long time West Seattle real estate agent, Brent Fosso (who by the way is amazing) I found Hiep to be knowledgeable,  professional,  fair and honest. She gave me some references to call prior to hiring her and the client I spoke to was enthusiastic in his recommendation. He sent me before and after pics and indicated he would use her services again. So last winter, Hiep and her crew repaired a failing retaining wall in my back yard. To do so she had to remove our wooden fence. She did this carefully and was able to put the same fence back up, replacing only a few of the wooden planks. This saved me some money and I was impressed that she actually let me know that and reduced it from the agreed upon price of the project Without My Asking! She's a person of integrity and that can be hard to come by in her  field of work. Since I could not be present during the work, I was very pleased that she sent me pictures and videos of the work throughout the day. I plan on having her come out and do some paver work for me as well. I will update my review then. read more

Hiep and her crew did an amazing job for us. She was our second bid and almost 50% less with a more logical design than the first person we spoke with. Her crew did in one week what would have taken me a year. Before we had a slightly sloping back yard with rotting wood borders and now we have a professionally installed engineered wall with two levels enabling us to install a trampoline for our kids. Super impressed and happy with the work. I'm surprised by the negative reviews on here. Some people are just never satisfied I guess. read more

Hiep and her crew were amazing! Hiep was punctual and knew exactly what we were going for. Her pricing was much more reasonable than other landscapers. The crew came in on time and finished in one day when at first we thought it might take two. They also went above and beyond even mulching my potted trees and doing some beautiful design work on the front garden beds and our backyard path. They did amazing work, were dependable, and easy to communicate with! read more

About a year ago I used Active Landscaping to replace a 20 year old cedar fence. It was about 500 ft of fence total with a couple of gates. The crew arrived when they said they would, tore out the old fence and installed the new in just a few days. This year I had them come back to work on the yard. I had removed an old play set and the area underneath was starting to turn to weeds. Active's team came and de-thatched the entire back yard, raked up the old playset bark, then top-dressed with new dirt, leveled the whole yard and reseeded. In addition they cleaned up the flower beds, trimmed the hedges and edged the lawn. Altogether I'm very pleased with their work. The prices are very competitive. The did what they said they would do and didn't leave a mess. I would not hesitate to use Active Landscaping again. read more

Hiep and her team have done landscaping projects for us over the last 5 years and I couldn't recommend their services more. They always go above and beyond my expectations and their price is very reasonable. read more

After years of frustration dealing with unskilled, unreliable lawn services I contacted a very picky friend who lives near me in Redmond and asked who she used. She gave me Hiep's name and I contacted her that same day. We made an appointment for her to see what I wanted. She came out, gave me a very reasonable quote, and her crew started servicing my lawn the next week. That was in three seasons ago and I've been using them exclusively since then. They cut the grass, edge the perimeter, rake and blow the flower beds, and haul away the debris away in their truck. Heip's crew is fast, efficient, and professional. If you hire Active Landscaping I'm confident that you'll be as delighted as I am with their service. read more

This owner is not honest, arrogant trying to build the price first a little then price come more . Please do not hire this person !!!Give me the invoice $4250 and after few days she made the contract $200 more and if I am not agreed I need to pay for cancellation read more

I'm 100% satisfied with the work they've done. Very efficient and completed the project on time. Few items to touch up on, and they plan to take care of that too. Pleasant to work with, and wanting to work with their clients. Highly recommend them to anyone! read more

Hiep does a GREAT job. I went through three landscapers last summer before finding Active Landscaping. She communicates very well, responds to phone calls quickly, does exactly what you ask, and leaves the yard immaculate. I cannot say enough good things about this business! read more

Hiep and her team have done several projects for me. They always do a great job at a great price. Highly recommended.

Very hard workers, who do an amazing job. My back yard was overgrown with blackberry bushes, and now I have my yard back. Very impressed with this company, and would highly recommend them. read more

I had Hiep's team out to clean up a much neglected investment property yard. They came when they said they would, hauled away what was needed, and performed the job as expected. It was a big job and they completed it making the property look sooo much better. I appreciate her service and will use, and recommend her and her team in the future. read more

Hiep and Active Landscaping did a great job in the beginning but Hiep no longer personally oversees the work her team does and so the quality of the yard maintenance has gone downhill drastically. When informed the yard needed work, Hiep said she would fix it but now no one has shown up for 4 weeks and she won't return my phone calls or emails. This is not how you run a business. read more

Active Landscaping did a terrific job building concrete block steps and a beautiful wooden screen in front of our home. Ty went to 3 different lumber stores to find the best wood with no knots. They are very affordable, hardworking, and quick. I will definitely use Hiep and Ty and their crew again!!! read more

Hiep was recommended by two of my friends. They both said her team does good work at a very competitive price. We made our first appointment at 10am on March 26th. She didn't show up. I called and she apologized that she made a mistake on the time and she came soon after our call. I didn't receive her bid for a week. After I sent her a reminder, she sent me the bid on April 3rd and said her first email was bounced back. Her bid was competitive and we verbally agreed to book our project for the first week of May. Since we have about 15 stumps that needed to be removed before her team could start their work, I had her visit our site for the second time to talk about our plans. She recommended an excavation company which we ended up using. I kept her updated on when the excavator would start working and we agreed that her team would start after the excavation is done which would be the second week of May. The timing would work out great for me since I'll be out of the country in early June and the work would be done by the time I leave. I communicated my travel plan to her since the beginning. After the excavator arrived, I called and asked her to stop by while the excavator was working to make sure areas that need to be prepared for her work did get prepped. She said OK but she was busy with something else and would get back to me on when she could stop by. That became the last time I ever heard from her. During the 2 and half days when the excavator was here, I called her 3 times, left her voice messages, and texted her two times. No response. After the excavator left, during the next few days, I called, texted, and emailed letting her know that the excavation had been done and asked when she could start. Dead silence. I thought maybe something bad happened to her? Talked to someone who knows her and was told that he actually spoke to her during the time when the excavation was being done at our site. Clearly she got enough work and probably a bigger project or two somewhere else and lost interest in my project. It would have been kind and professional if she had let me know she's too busy to take on my job and I would have started looking for someone else sooner. So now three weeks before my big trip, I have to start from scratch to gather bids. No one will be able to finish the work before I start my trip. She really screwed me up. Yes, her price is competitive. However, my experience proved that "you get what you paid for" is so true. read more
