M aybe it…read morewas me, maybe I had some kind of bug infestation, maybe it was the lowest bidder doing the work. I just wanted a quick and simple project - for a fair price, pull out the old stuff, do the proper prep work, and lay new sod. Holten Services was super easy. Told them the square footage, sent them a picture, got a quote, and they showed up four days later! Given that it's the start of the season, not having to wait two months was huge. From start to finish, it took them maybe two hours here. Easy!! And it looks good. Yay for lawns that don't look like they're dead. Phew!

I contacted Holten Services after reading decent reviews on Yelp. My experience with them was a…read moredisaster and we're still fixing mistakes they made during our yard renovation. Ryan may seem like a good deal but I would not recommend him to anyone. Our yard was scheduled to be completed in one week and it took over 2 months. He wouldn't show up when he said he would, then wouldn't answer calls, texts, or emails. He had an excuse for everything and was argumentative when we brought up our concerns. He used rocks covered in dirt which started growing weeds and failed to use weed barrier in several areas. After calling to complain multiple times, he came with a shop vacuum to remove some of the dirt (we still have weeds coming up from the rocks he used). We knew we needed a French drain for one area in our grass where water pooled and we asked him to install one. He convinced us we did not need one because his grading/leveling would "fix the problem". He did not fix the problem and we recently had to install one ourselves. The sod he used died within 2 weeks due to poor grading/leveling and the sprinkler system he installed missed large portions of our grass. We now have to replace most of the sod and need to reconfigure our sprinklers. Overall we had a bad experience and I would NOT recommend this company at all.

Steve was personable, professional, punctual, hardworking, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life. He communicated clearly throughout the project, showed up when he said he would, and left the worksite clean and organized each day. The quality of their work is outstanding. Our property not only looks beautiful, but it also feels more functional and inviting. We've already received countless compliments from neighbors and friends! It's rare to find a company that combines exceptional craftsmanship, honesty, reliability, and customer service the way they do. If you're considering any landscaping project, large or small, save yourself the time and money and hire Steve! We will absolutely use HI-DEF again for future projects!

I cannot recommend Professional Landscaping and Design to other homeowners in the greater Parker,…read moreCO region. We solicited their help with our backyard design and installation after some neighbors gave initial high marks on their work (each has since rescinded their recommendations for similar struggles). We wanted a pathway to our back for a lawnmower, patio, retaining walls, and vegetation/sod. They provided a design that looked nice but didn't meet our request for a pathway to the back but instead, stairs. We resisted twice but they kept saying it would be better, so we trusted them. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Installation took about 4 days and on the final day the owner could tell I was not happy. I expressed to him that I was certain I would not be able to get a lawnmower down the stairs he built, to which he said he'd build me a free pathway like I originally wanted. I said I didn't trust his team on the execution and that I'd prefer he provide me the materials and I'd build it myself. After some back and forth he provided about 1/3 of the materials he originally said he'd provide. In addition, his team never installed 6 plants or irrigation, they planted 4 bushes in the wrong spots, they used natural stone steps instead of gray, they failed to install sprinkler heads throughout the lawn, they damaged my existing landscaping, broke my existing sprinkler box and flooded it, and left our property in disarray. Their wiring in the sprinkler box is janky at best and they ruined the wiring in our original box too. We also had 9 trees and plants die which he took nearly two months to replace under his warranty. At times it took them over 2 weeks to reply to requests for feedback or service and they copped attitude along the way. One of their workers, specifically, is a horrible human and I can't understand how he's employed. He's the one that flooded my box and collapsed the soil around it and he told me to my face I was lying to him. What's weird is it wasn't flooded before they came and I found him mere 5 minutes after. When he and his supervisor returned, the Sup said it was his fault and he was sorry for him. Overall there is a lack of integrity. For nearly $30,000 I do not feel they can provide you with value or the respect that you'd deserve. I would never be able to recommend them and encourage you to look elsewhere.

Greg had great ideas on how he could do the work to beautify the area and yet keep the yard low-maintenance. He noticed things I hadn't seen before that could be issues and offered ways to fix them. He also helped me prioritize the best items to refresh vs items that could be left alone or completed later as I was on a budget. Greg and his team showed up and started work when they said they would. They cleaned up each evening, they place cones out around the rocks that were staged in the street - overall I was very impressed with their style of working, as were all the neighbors. I am so happy to refer him to anyone that wants to works with a quality landscaper.

A Cautionary Review of Land Designs by Colton Our Experience…read moreand Lessons Learned Initially, our experience with Land Designs by Colton seemed promising. The project kicked off smoothly, and we had high expectations based on their assurances and professionalism during the early stages. However, as the work progressed, significant issues began to arise, tarnishing our trust and satisfaction with the company. And then they ghosted us. The Tree Planting Disaster One of the first major problems we encountered was with the landscaping aspect--specifically the planting of trees. Out of the nine trees planted, six died within a relatively short time frame. We had been informed that these trees were under warranty for a year, which gave us some initial reassurance. Unfortunately, when we sought replacements for the dead trees under this warranty, the company did not honor their commitment. This was deeply frustrating and marked the beginning of a series of disappointments in dealing with Land Designs by Colton. Contract Issues Another frustration arose when we attempted to obtain a copy of our contract. We had initially accessed the agreement through Google Docs, but it was mysteriously deleted. When we reached out to Land Designs by Colton for a copy, they claimed they could no longer provide it due to changes in their system following an update. This lack of accountability and transparency added to our growing unease with the company. The Deck Extension Debacle The most costly and distressing issue was related to a deck extension they built for us. After the work was completed, we discovered that the extension had not been permitted--they assured us that this was not necessary. As we began the process of obtaining necessary permits, we learned that the construction itself was not done to code. Specific deficiencies included: * Footings that were not deep enough * Railing spindles with uneven spacing * Stairs that failed to meet code requirements These violations have forced us to reconstruct the deck to meet code standards, incurring additional expenses totaling thousands of dollars. In essence, the deck project has doubled in cost due to their negligence. This has been an incredibly stressful ordeal, both financially and emotionally. Conclusion Our experience with Land Designs by Colton has been nothing short of disastrous. What began as a promising relationship quickly deteriorated due to unfulfilled warranties, lack of transparency regarding contracts, and substandard construction practices that led to code violations. We hope our story serves as a warning to others considering working with this company. Proceed with caution and ensure that every aspect of the contract and work is meticulously monitored to avoid similar hardships. Beware of Land Designs by Colton. What seems fine at the start may end up costing you dearly in the end.

Jonathan is among the most unprofessional vendors I have ever come across…read more For background: I hired him to work on my front lawn, and warned him I'd need him to be flexible as I was also getting a fence installed. I paid him half up front and he did some work. When I needed him to return to finish the lawn after the fence was installed, he strung me along on a finish date for months. I tried to press him to finish the job, and he got nasty. I'd often get trapped in circular conversations with his assistant, who hides behind legalese language, while Jonathan's correspondence was filled with condescension, personal attacks, and threats. (As an example: See below his assistant's response as evidence of the kind of legal speak they use, and how they twist it around in their favor. Pegging blame on the customer without accepting responsibility for their own awful service.) And they're thugs. I had to file a police report after he and his workers broke into our backyard _and garage_ to reclaim what he says are his materials. Some $10 pipes. This is something they'll point to in the contract as a thing he has a right to do. Upon terminating his contract for stringing me along, severe unprofessional behavior, and even violating our safety and security, he charged a termination fee. This would be laughable if it weren't so vindictive. Despite it all, I did pay him whatever ridiculous invoice he'd excuse with his contract in order to get rid of all the vitriol he was turning my way. So... Be wary of his, and his assistant's, predatory contract which they rely on to get away with crappy service. You'll know he deems your project to not be lucrative for him, when he gives you side comments about him "doing you a favor." He lacks follow through to complete a job unless it's on his terms, and he lacks professionalism in dealing with client requests. He gets nasty and personal if you get on his bad side. He loves to tout his educational background, as if to reassure you he's somehow different or that you'd be getting excellent service. Don't fall for it. There are plenty of other contractors in the Denver area who do amazing work in a timely fashion without all the drama. Save yourselves the headache.

Sir Nicholas and I bought a pretty old home (it's over 100 years, barely, but there) and it was…read moreoriginally a one story brick craftsman styled home. Apparently some time in the 70s the owner needed more room because they had a lot of children (13 according to the owners we bought the home from) and so they dug out the basement and made a brand new floor. While this expanded the house by almost double I'm fairly certain there weren't bothersome things like building permits or regulations back them because one of the rooms was dug out of a crawl space and the dirt was simple put behind dry wall. Now I know next to nothing about construction, but I do know dry wall isn't made to hold a lot of water and it certainly isn't very sustainable against water, which happens to find it's way into the dirt under homes on occasion. So, when Nick and I bought this home it was with the concession that the drywall get torn down and replaced with a concrete retaining wall and that is where Park Range Construction comes into this story. Nick and I called multiple construction companies for quotes on this project and the professionalism ranged from people who never showed, showed up and never sent us quotes and people who showed up on time and sent us quotes in a timely manner. Park Range was in this third bucket. And not only were they prompt and polite they also bid this job at the most reasonable price (in comparison to one other company the bid was several thousand dollars less. Yes, thousands.) And not only that they said they could start the soonest and be done the quickest. So we hired them. At the end of the day what we had them do wasn't pretty - it's a concrete wall for crying out loud, so aesthetics aren't worth mentioning but the workers that came everyday were so polite and did a really great job. Not to mention that the downstairs was completely covered in dirt, dust and muck due to all the construction and they cleaned up after it all in a way that left me very impressed. The finished the job in the quoted time for the quoted price and I really don't think you can ask for much more than that. Why not 5 stars then? I think there was a couple of mis-communications around progress and when workers would show up. For example, after pouring concrete you have to let it sit for a day so no one came the day after they poured the concrete. No big deal, but since they were coming at 7, which means I was waking up way early it would have been nice to know I could have slept a little longer that day. And I think a foreman was supposed to do a final walk through with us. One was here when we did a walk through, but he stayed outside rather than coming down with us which wasn't exactly what we thought would happen, but worked out okay anyway. So, neither thing was a big deal, but they did leave me with a little confusion at times throughout the process which can maybe be avoided in the future.
