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 had Jason and his crew (three total) come - several years ago - and help with our large yard…read more The reason I gave him 4 stars instead of 5 is the price ($60. each) and the time it took them to weed. Their real talent is pruning and also designing. They (Jason) pruned two of our Japanese Maples and they are both still beautiful. They are show stoppers! I will have them back to do pruning but have to find a cheaper alternative for weeding. They are all really nice, fun guys and I think very creative.

Heads up....do not use Jason Kibbey of Kibbey Landscape Design…read more During the Spring of 2020 we reached out to a number of landscapers to revamp our backyard. The project scope included a small hardscape patio, a small retaining wall so that the lawn area would be level, some fresh soil and plants to supplement what already existing. As we were getting ready to rent out the house, we needed this work to be completed quickly and with the minimal expense possible. We ended up selecting Jason Kibbey of Kibbey Design to prepare a sketch and submit a bid offer. Initially, at our on-site meeting Jason was very forthcoming and offered several great suggestions. A sketch was prepared and we asked that he prepare a bid. Our experience went downhill from there. There were long periods where we did not hear back from Jason and email messages where not returned. Eventually we received his bid of over $50,000 to complete this work and a multi-page contract document that was full of errors which we had to point out to him. One such error in Jason's contact document included his expired L&I insurance information. As Jason's bid broke our budget, we found someone else to do the hardscape work for a fraction of what Jason had offered. We set up an on-site meeting with both contractors where we explained the scope of work for each party and encouraged that they work together to coordinate the project schedule. Jason was amenable to this arraignment but soon was again not responsive to our phone and emails as well as the attempts by the other contractor to coordinate the project schedule. At one point, he and his crew showed up install the plant material (without speaking to us or the other contractor) and within an hour left stating that he could not install the landscaping with the hardscape still being installed. Again, his lack of communication. Once the hardscape was completed, we informed Jason and he brought his crew over to complete the installation of the landscape. Soils were not properly amended, landscape material that was to remain was relocated, and existing plant material that was not to be used was placed into the landscape. This I believe was done because Jason underestimated the quantity of landscape needed for this project. Finally, there was no final walk-through with Jason, no phone call, no email....he just left the job site and sent the invoice. In summary, I cannot recommend Jason Kibbey for any landscape residential projects. We found him to be very expensive, non-responsive to our phone and email attempts to contact him, he did not work well with the other contractor, and he did not follow planting instructions.

I have owed Nick a review for too long for the beautiful custom backyard he built for us in the…read moresummer of 2022, so here it is. Previously we were not using our backyard too often - we had huge leyland cypresses along our fenceline that absolutely choked any sunlight out of the backyard. We had moss everywhere, grass that struggled to grow in the shade and grew patchy, and some large magnolia trees that would constantly get damaged by the winter snows. We love being outdoors and spending time in our backyard, but wanted to upgrade the space. We worked with Nick to create a custom plan and redesign our backyard from the ground up, including a covered patio area with BBQ grill and flat top, mini fridge, and a beautiful stone fireplace. Nick's team wrapped the columns of the patio cover with stone, and laid it all out on a bluestone paved patio. He was also able to accommodate a hot tub, and finished it all off with lovely landscaping and plants. We even added a shed and wired it up as an extra entertainment room. Throughout the whole process Nick was patient and accommodating, and was flexible as we encountered problems or changes that needed to be made. Nick's guys were on time and professional, and basically spent months with them as they did their work! Would highly recommend Mill Creek Landscapes for your backyard project, big or small.

Boom. Correct. We already had a design from a landscape architect but Nick was able to adjust our rough plans to be even more precise and suitable for the space. His crew was equally conscientious. At least three separate times, Tony asked for my opinion on what he had started building, and when I said, "How about this way instead?" he graciously took the more time-consuming route to ensure all of his meticulous stone work made me smile. We could not be happier with our new space. All the neighbors are jealous. Hire these guys if you can!
