Kris and his team put natural stone all along my garden areas, trimmed some bushes, and put in some edging. It looks great! They were courteous and professional.

I initially contacted Joanna from Evolving Landscapes after receiving a referral through my…read moreneighbor association. I reached out a year before I was ready to have a major job completed. What Joanna provided was transparency, guidance, and warmth. Since that original project was completed, I have subsequently had more work done. When Kris has made his visits to the property to discuss the scope of the projects, I felt like I was visiting with an old friend. It is very easy and assuring to work with Evolving Landscapes. My questions have never gone unanswered, and I was never made to feel uninformed by asking. The quality of the work continues to be noticed by those in the neighborhood, and I feel proud that the work has added value to my community. I would definitely recommend, and I plan to use Evolving Landscapes again.

The area has very little grass and was mostly an eye sore. My front and side were not meeting in a cohesive manner and we wanted some river rock for appearance and also some grading away from the house from rain. Cody again was punctual, fair, and also made sure he scheduled us in and got us in time for me to plant some flowers in the landscaped area. The outcome is great and our yard looks nice. If anyone is apprehensive about handing over a deposit, don't be here. He is honest and dependable. I've had bad experiences before but as far as landscape maintenance Cody is the right hire.

Blue Atlas, in one day, leveled the river area of our yard, buried our downspouts and installed pop up valves to re-distribute the water. This resolved our problems and after heavy rains lately, diminished the water flow significantly. We would recommend Cody and his company, Blue Atlas, for your next landscaping project.

He worked with my budget during the bid process, communicated throughout, and finished the project ahead of schedule. He and his team rebuilt a retaining wall, filled soil erosion, installed a flagstone path, and seeded over the new soil/flagstone. They repurposed sod and carefully worked around beloved shrubs. The project wrapped almost a month ago, and I remain very happy with the quality and care Axel's team put into my yard. I highly recommend Axel. He takes pride in his work and it shows.

I've been following Colonial Gardens on social media for a while and they have some fun events . I…read morefinally made it to one, plant bingo. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was so fun, that I attended a second time in the same month. The event is held in their greenhouse, which makes the perfect backdrop for this event. You play three rounds of bingo with three cards each round, and each game has one plant prize, so one winner. There's a Plant Bar serving cocktails and popcorn, plus a coffee shop on site with small bites available during the event. Jessica, the events coordinator, is friendly and fun. After all games are played you have time to shop. I went during January and there wasn't an abundance of plants and flowers, but I'm looking forward to spring to check out the greenhouse when it is blooming.

Update 8/26/20 - after my original review I was contacted by Will Andersen, the owner of the…read morecompany. What a night and day difference from our initial impressions! Increasing my review from two stars to five, and that's only because six stars aren't an option! Will checked into what had happened with our original quote. Turns out the lack of follow up was due to a bad handoff of info when the estimator who we originally worked with was let go from the company, and our estimate had fallen between the cracks. Will sugarcoated nothing, and was straight with us on what had happened. Not only was he extremely apologetic for the situation, he was extremely determined to show us that our original experience is not what Andersen Contracting is about as a company. Will came out personally to rework the original quote, which we had in a matter of days. He was helpful in assisting us in planning the project, answered all of our questions, and went above and beyond in adjusting the quote as our scope of work evolved. Here's the kicker - over a period of weeks while it took us far, FAR too long to make our final selections and decisions, Will was nothing but patient and helpful... I'm embarrassed to admit he was far MORE patient with us than we were in our first dealings with his company. He checked in periodically to check on status and offer any assistance we might need, but was never pushy or pressuring. Great customer service, and I can't say enough good things about how well we've been treated. I'm pleased to report we've finally made our final selections and are ready to move forward with our project - and that we have now experienced the reasons why Andersen contracting has the stellar reviews they carry here and on other sites. I look forward to reporting back on the finished project and sharing pictures, and I know we're in good hands.

Jeff, Chris, and everyone at Andersen did a great job and went above and beyond. Thank you.read more
