We just finished up our project with Alderwood and we still can't believe this is our yard because it's better than anything we could have ever dreamed. We first met with Tim the landscape architect because my husband and I were clueless on what to do with our backyard that was overgrown in places and not functional. Tim saw the amazing potential in our yard and came up with a plan to redo the pool area, add an outdoor structure, fire table and entertaining area and new fence for our pups and kids. Seeing it on paper and then seeing it come to life over the last 4 months has been incredible. Tim personally picked every plant for our yard because we know nothing about plants and trees and it feels like a peaceful retreat now. Thanks Tim for everything! We also wanted to thank Nate the foreman of the crew who worked daily in all weather conditions and is truly one of a kind-THANK YOU Nate! We also couldn't have done this without Johnny the project manager who helped coordinate all the amazing talent who worked on our home-Kurt who built our fire table and also saved our sad chimney, Cody the electrician, Jeff who built our structure from scratch and hauled it by himself that we were amazed daily, Tom the wonderful plumber, Bryan who built our fence, Dennis the painter, Matt the concrete artist, Justin the warranty manager who helped replace a few plants that hadn't been doing well. Our family thanks each and every one of you for your hard work and we are so appreciative of everything you put into our home to make it a dream where our kids can play and we can spend time together as a family. We are eternally grateful and feel so fortunate to have each one of you help make our dream backyard happen. THANK YOU! Alison & Chad read more

When contemplating our backyard transformation, we spoke with many design-build companies. Alderwood wasn't the cheapest...in fact they were at the top of the pricing estimates. That said, we felt like their process, attention to detail and level of communication was worth it for a project of this scope. wow, am I glad we made that decision. I have been in customer service/sales for 20+ years and it takes a lot to impress me. From the infancy, through completion the entire Alderwood team knocked it out of the park! Tim crafted an incredible design, considering all concerns (above standard drainage, sightlines for water feature/covered structure, partially sunken hot tub, etc.). Johnny answered all project questions and coordinated scheduling for all contractors and material deliveries. Both site managers, Jordan and Jose's attention to detail and level of communication throughout the project was incredible. They took time at the end of each day to explain what they had completed that day and confirm specific design details for the next phases of the project. At project completion, Justin has taken over to ensure everything is functioning properly and answer all remaining questions. Additionally, the two subcontractors recommended by Alderwood, Jeff (carpenter building the covered structure) and Kurt (Mason building the kitchen and fire table) have been excellent! Their level of detail is consistent with the standard set by the Alderwood Team. Needless to say, I can't Recommend Alderwood Landscaping enough! They truly turned our vision into a reality of a backyard, resort style oasis that we will enjoy year-round. read more

If I could give them 1,000 stars, I would! This is white glove service from planning to execution and the team is laser focused on pleasing the customer. I'm completely blown away by the service and hope to be able to use them again. Tim Glass was our architect and not only was he fantastic at building what we wanted within our budget, he also was honest when he thought my ideas wouldn't work out and took time to explain why. He was constantly adjusting plans on the fly when we threw things at him and always had a can do attitude. Tim and Johnny were always available to answer questions or offer opinions about colors, materials, plan changes, etc. Most companies lose their customer service at execution, but here's where Alderwood manages to take it up another level. Nick (you must get Nick!) and his team Jose (another gem) and 2 others have an incredible eye for detail and take great pride in their work and making you happy. Nick seems to think of everything and not only is our new yard perfect, he left our driveway cleaner than when they came, cleaned up after the sub contractors (even after Alderwood was gone), did some cleaning up in areas that were out of scope, ensured the tiniest detail was considered, and chased down the subcontractors. Any tiny change to the plan and he wanted to review with me. He also was sure not to inconvenience our garage bays or us in any way. I've asked him many questions since he finished and he actions them within minutes. If you want a beautiful yard, this is the place to go! read more

We had such a great experience working with Alderwood Landscaping company. Johnny is amazing and always focused on clients' needs/likes. He makes things happen, very professional. Very clear with his clients and very creative. Before meeting Alderwood we had met with a few people about landscaping our yard around the house which was not useable space. We were disappointed every time we met someone as they said were not able to do much. When we met the team from Alderwood we were so happy as they changed it completely. We initially met Bryan (Landscaping architect) who designed the landscaping plan and included everything we wanted and more. It was such a treat to hear possibilities and creativity to make that space beautiful. Jordan and his team did all the work and made the dream come true. They were extremely professional, always on time, very pleasant, respectful, worked very very hard, and made our yard look beautiful. They cared that we liked the plan and also checked with us before making even minor changes. Justin( their warranty manager) has been coming and checking on things and making sure everything is looking good. every team member has been very professional. We use our yard all the time and enjoy every minute! Overall it has been an excellent experience. Worth every penny we spent. Highly recommend this team/ company to anyone who is thinking of a landscaping project. (Raman, Bellevue) read more

We hired Alderwood to redo our landscaping that had previously done by another company. We are so grateful we did. They helped architect not only the landscaping but the entire flow of our property. They listened to what we wanted our property to be and incorporated that into the design. They created a flow from the pool into the house that was more practical than what the design/build team produced. They created a true "back yard". They were practical and efficient with what they suggested and helped us create stages of work so that we could phase out the landscaping since we were doing a remodel and installing a pool at the same time. Their guidance was spot on and I have received so many compliments on the landscaping and water feature. They built us a water feature that eliminates street noise and is the focal of our front yard. They also worked with some crazy constraints that our property had (wetlands, septic, private well, setbacks) and gave us what we wanted. They did such a fantastic job..I just can't say enough positive. We learned the hard way that going with the less expensive option is not always the best plan. We will always use Alderwood Landscaping for any future landscaping needs. read more

It's rare to work with a team of people who values their craftsmanship, customer satisfaction, integrity and loves what they do. My experience with Alderwood has been outstanding from day one to completion. They transformed my backyard that was boring, unusable and full of drainage issues, into a modern japanese inspired garden that is truly a backyard retreat for my family and friends. Tim and Johnny, the architects did a great job laying out their vision and collaborating with us personalize the plans, and provided full guidance from a plant pallete to furniture and color selections. They labored through various approval HOA issues on my behalf and was in contact throughout the entire project. Craig and his landscaping team worked hard through many weeks with attention to detail. They were always friendly, considerate and very proactive in helping out. Their sub-contractors for the patio structure (Jeff) and masonry (Kurt) were amazing as well. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone. Well done Alderwood, and thank you for the great work and for making this family feel taken cared of. read more

Alderwood exceeded our expectations. Tim understood our vision and created a modern, elegant, and functional design. Johnny's advice on materials to use for the patio, walls and lighting was spot on. I had originally picked a product that I thought would work, however, after our first meeting I realized I made the wrong choice. I was thrilled he provided his opinion. We were pleasantly surprised that our job started earlier than the original estimated date and that it was finished in a shorter timeframe than expected. Devin, Jose, Jose and Santos were fantastic. The crew was here on time and ready to go every day and they worked very consistently all day. They kept me informed on any changes that arose and gave me daily updates on progress and next steps. Alderwood was very professional and they delivered on all of our expectations. I have recommended them to many of my neighbors and friends with no hesitation and am currently working with them on a project for my front yard. If you decided to use Alderwood you will not be disappointed. S. Garbooshian read more

We recently completed a large backyard remodel that required a ton of land work just to prep the space and included putting in an outdoor room, basketball court, fire pit, putting green, and eating area. From the beginning design stages to the very end, Alderwood was responsive, flexible with absolutely everything, catered to what we wanted, set realistic expectations, always showed up - every single day for months until it was done, communicated with us at every step, followed up to make sure we were satisfied and came back immediately and took serious even the smallest issue. The whole team, Tim, Jose and crew, Johnny, and Justin were amazing and truly cared that we were going to love the outcome. They were professional, responsive, and accommodating at every turn. Alderwood is definitely worth the extra money - you really get what you pay for with them. Thank you, Alderwood! read more

Alderwood was outstanding from start to finish! If you are looking for a higher level of customer service that takes care of every detail then go with Alderwood. We looked at 4 companies for our backyard remodel and went with Alderwood because of their great reputation and that they handle every detail including the subcontractors such as gas, electrical and fencing. Alderwood made everything so easy for us. We are 1000% happy with the backyard remodel. They took the design to a higher level and gave us our dream backyard. The team of Jordan, Harry, Landon and Riley worked very hard everyday in the harsh weather and really were the nicest people. Johnny and Tim helped us plan and updated us every step the way. Alderwood really is the best! read more

Team ALDERWOOD is the best in class! We worked with Tim Glass and Alderwood early this year with the design for our backyard resort. Tim was super patient with us and really listened to our wants. We could not be happier with the final result - which includes is an icelandic style water feature, nature hedge, aquaqip swim spa and a completely redone backyard. Alderwood did an amazing job with our backyard. Not only we were impressed with their exceptional workmanship, the whole team was extremely courteous and accommodating thru the project. We were extremely impressed with quality of work. Our experience was extremely positive from start to finish. Huge shout out to Tim, Nick, Jose, Matt, Dana and everyone involved in the project. read more

I can't recommend Alderwood strongly enough, we underwent a huge background remodel and every phase of the project starting from design, to build, to touch ups at the end the people were wonderful to work with. Not only were we thrilled with incredible quality of the results, but all aspects of the construction were super professional. The crews worked super hard, were always on time, always showed up, always finished earlier than estimated. Communication was excellent! Huge thank you to Bryan (design), Devin (build), and Johnny (project management), and Justin (warranty crew) and everyone else involved with our project. Seriously after dealing with them its hard to go back to working with other contractors. read more

We rarely write reviews, I am in sales/customer service so it takes a lot to impress me, that's why we want to share how amazing Alderwood was to work with! The amount of care and detail from the design process to the finish work to make sure everything was perfectly executed. Even picking out the plants they explained what each one was and made sure the colors were what we wanted and made sure we were happy with placement. The Boulder work they do is so impressive, the quality of boulders used and how they placed them makes all the difference in how it turned out! Johnny, Devin and Justin were so professional, knowledgeable, we really enjoyed working with all of them. Highly recommend Alderwood Landscaping! read more

The entire team from Alderwood was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional from start to finish. Dealing with our local city isn't easy, but they took care of that entire headache, working with us to adjust plans as needed to meet local code. Once we had worked through the planning process, Craig and his crew came out to execute on our dream backyard. It was really impressive watching his team work. It was a huge project spanning several months (due to scope and COVID causing delays) but they showed up on time and did a fantastic job day after day. I can't say enough about how happy we are with the final product and the team that made it happen! read more

I am absolutely impressed with Alderwood Lanscaping. Rarely in my experience construction has been so smooth, from planning, to execution, to cleanup. Good landscape architecture and great scheduling, ability to stay on top of sub contractors, amazing crew for actual construction. In our case, we also had really tough drainage problems that they were able to solve flawlessly. We worked with Tim Glass for architecture, Jonathan Struiksma for scheduling and management, and our construction crew was led by Nick Lane. Across the board amazing service, even the ones I haven't mentioned here. read more

This was our second project with Alderwood and just like the first time, it was amazing from start to finish. Tim Glass did an incredible job architecting things. Beyond pleased with how Devin and the crew executed Tim's vision in our our side yard and front yard. Thorough and detailed work that went by very quickly, with excellent communication throughout the process. Highly recommend these professionals! read more

I hired these guys for design services for a full "back yard resort" plan. The working sessions and resulting outcome were worth every penny. Upon completion I was given a huge set of plans to scale, with elevations so I can complete the work at any time. I highly recommend using this service, it's worth the wait and the money! read more

These guys are simply the best. Not only is the end product amazing, but they were quick, efficient, and on time. The communication was stellar and follow up was top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a great team to design and implement their dream yard!!!! read more

We had an amazing patio designed and installed by Tim and Nick at Alderwood landscaping. They were efficient and worked very hard daily and completed the project in a timely manner. We are thrilled with the outcome! read more

They actually contacted.me to let me know that their landscaping company only deals with businesses and large companies and would not be a fit for my smaller household job.. I appreciated the information. read more
