We worked with Gabe, Martin, Leo and Leah (among others) to completely remake our backyard. We…read morecouldn't be happier with the result! Gabe and Martin walked through before the start of the project to ensure they understood how to translate the plans into reality. Sage and Stone also worked with us on options to reduce the overall scope and budget, for instance suggesting we could lower costs a bit by doing some of the demolition and prep work ourselves (which we did). The project started on schedule and the team reliably showed up every single day for the next ten weeks. We had them remove and create a new retaining wall with Techo-Blocs, relocate a freestanding structure onto new footings, install pavers under the structure, and install a new composite deck. The team also leveled out and rebuilt a small path in the yard, evening out a slope and creating a more graceful grade by installing large 4' black granite steps. Everything was edged using Colmet to keep the lines clean and they even installed a freestanding outlet in the yard to bring power to the seating area. There were minor adjustments along the way and the team showed great attention to detail. For instance, the freestanding structure posts required a skirt to conceal the post brackets. These were hand scribed onsite and featured backcut cedar with an elegant slope, cleanly mitrered and sealed joints, and most importantly, sealed undersides to protect them from water damage. Small details like aligning paver joints with the natural lines in the steps or landing, finding materials to patch up areas of the house that were newly exposed by the updated deck profile, and concealing electrical lines were most appreciated. When the inevitable issues arose, Martin walked us through the situation and we quickly reached a suitable outcome that he effectively managed. I can't stress enough how hard everyone worked and that effort consistently carried to the end of the day until they cleaned up the jobsite. Tools were neatly arranged and materials were moved into inconspicuous places before the crew left everyday. The yard looks fantastic and we love spending time out there. We're extremely happy with their work and would love to work with them again! Highly recommended.

However, less than a year after the completing the work the top patio stones started shifting. The last row of paver have almost completely tilted into the bed next to it. Despite, my contacting them several times and giving them the opportunity to respond and fix the problem they have chosen not to. I believe a good company takes responsibility for and pride in its work. The lack of follow up and response from them has been truly disappointing.

We were really excited to work with Mitch. His portfolio online was unique and beautiful, so we…read morewere disappointed when it didn't work out. We reached out last October when we moved into a new house and wanted someone to envision our space with a deck and patio. We agreed to pay up to $3k for design work, which we thought was a bit much but worth it if we were getting creative ideas and a beautiful design. The design that he gave us was fine, and while Mitch says there were creative details (like special railings), he was not transparent about any details in his design work. It was a very simple picture that I'm sure had more details underneath, but those were never shared with us. His original estimate was $100k for the project, and when we told him that was over our budget, he reduced the price to $50k with seemingly small items removed from the project. Instead of giving us options for saving costs so we could make the decision about what we wanted to pay for, he just fit the project to a predetermined budget and wasn't clear about how he arrived at the costs. The lack of transparency is what initially made us question him, so we went to another company that drafted an incredibly similar plan for free, could start months earlier, and gave us unlimited options for upgrading or cost savings. Throughout our entire experience with Mitch, he was condescending, lacked transparency, and was unprofessional in his tone with us. We wish it would have worked out since he is a fellow local WS community member that appears to be able to do creative work, but our experience with him was disappointing.

He and his crew have been thoughtful, professional, and even clean up after themselves. On top of all that, he let me do a little DIY to the extent that I had time to do. Ex. He pushed our comfort zone with an idea about using steel planters. We took a deep breath and trusted him. Not only does it look beautiful, but I kept seeing similar ideas in the garden mags/garden show a few years after that. I see a couple of negative comments in here, and understand what they're talking about. Mitch is an artist who sees his work through with great quality at reasonable cost, but the details of his planning process is mostly in his head, with discussed revisions. My husband is a spreadsheet guy who likes every cost accounted for and idea considered and agreed upon, so was a little uncomfortable during our project. It came out great and now we're both very happy!
