I don't know what it is about landscape architects or deck builders, but if 50% of the companies I…read morecall even bother to return my call within a week, I consider it a win. Of the eight landscape designers I reached out to, Dave was the only one to get back to me within 24 hours. His responsiveness continued through the life of the project. That alone would be worth repeat business, as I'm sick of having to chase contractors down when I'm trying to give them money. We asked Dave to give us a bid on about a dozen individual projects in our yard and then let us select which ones to actually implement. He was happy to accommodate and patiently answered a multitude of questions. The actual job went smoothly and quickly. It started on time, there was no fuss or drama, and a few minor changes were easily accommodated while the work progressed. We plan to hire Glacier again.

We had a…read morefair amount of river rock we wanted removed from the side of our yard, and given the fantastic job he did before we wanted to go with Dave again. Nearly five month lead time and a crew was sent out to dig it - by hand - in nearly 100 degree heat in the middle of August. They did the best they could given the temperature and lack of oversight, but in the end the job was left 90% completed. Gatorades and freezer pops couldn't have saved them. Dave came to the door seemingly in a hurry, asked for the check and left, not checking up on the work his crew did (who also left without saying anything to us). I've already hand-dug and hauled four dump-carts full of rock with, I'm estimating, maybe four more to go. I'm happy I didn't have to do the whole thing so am grateful for that, but the stark contrast between the first job and the second had our necks feeling like we got whiplash. What happened? It's great that Glacier View has blown up, meaning more work for his crew, and it's likely that we're such small potatoes now it's barely worth scheduling us, but it sucks to be treated as an afterthought. Maybe they aren't great for repeat business. {edit}: Dave reached out offering to finish the job, and while I'm admittedly still a bit sour over the extra work I do respect how he tried to make it right. More importantly I'm satisfied with the acknowledgment of the lack of communication and a reassurance of improvement moving forward: small job or large. So, I'm increasing the rating to what it should be.

Sav a tree is awful at communicating and follow up. We had an arborist visit our house because we…read morehad a tree infected with kermes scale and wanted to have it treated in August. Because of the type of infection it had to be treated before the end of September. The arborist never gave a quote. We called the office and spoke with numerous people who would tell us Cody the arborist isn't good at his job and lead us to think someone would get back to us and have our tree treated but never followed through. It's really disappointing having this experience and sad to see our tree slowly die. I would not recommend using sav a tree to anyone because they could not act with professionalism and ultimately lied repeatedly making us miss the window to treat our tree even with another company. Extremely dissatisfied and upset with them.

They did the immediate cleanup up and came back for the large removal project. It could not have gone better. Fast forward 2 years and we needed to remove our last 2 conifers for wildfire mitigation in a high risk neighborhood. I called them back as I feel they are the best arborists around. Locally owned and staffed. The set up for the project went well, the timing perfect for summer between the move out of last year's students and the arrival for the upcoming year. The house closest to the tree is the house next to ours which is student rental home for CU off campus housing. When they are between summer moves , there are fewer parking issues as well as not interfering with their lifestyle. The team came this morning m, right in time, having procured the no parking signs for such work and having the utilities locators done in advance. The work when exceeding well, removing the already broken spruce and the aging and badly place piñon pine, too close to our house. The team of arborists were amazing. I would certainly use them again if I could but I am out of trees that will ever need removals. Call this place first if you are ever in need. In Colorado, we are facing terrible wildfire risks and all communities will need evaluation. In this area, Blue River can't be beat.

5-star review…read more Superlatives are often questionable, but believe this one: J&S is the best landscaper my husband and I have worked with over many, many years of building new houses. Scott Haugland's execution and management combined with his and Mike Woods' design of our new home's landscape plan was exceptional. The entire project was such a pleasure to experience as the crews arrived promptly, worked long hours and were clearly experienced and specialized in each area of their responsibility. From plants to hardscape to fencing to a bocce court, the work was done in a caring, accommodating, professional manner. Scott is an outstanding leader and gentleman, whose crew obviously respects his leadership. We really appreciated and recognized that Scott, who has been in the business since he was a teenager, was at our home every day bright and early to ensure crews, supplies and materials were arriving just as they were needed and planned. He continues to stop by to ensure the systems are working as appropriate. Scott and Mike were a pleasure to work with, and the various J&S crews were incredibly committed, polite and hard working. Their attention to detail is unsurpassed. We could not be happier with what we consider a beautiful enhancement to our new home and the neighborhood. J&S is simply the best.

Large buff stone steps were laid on directly on top of topsoil! And, of course they quickly started shifting. The plants were no better. Consultation with experts subsequently revealed that many plants were planted in inappropriate sun/shade locations. J & S seemingly gave us the tiniest, scrawny plant specimens they could obtain. Furthermore, we feel they advised us poorly on plant choices and gave us a terrible, off-kilter plant layout. Now, less than 2 years later, we are having EVERYTHING redone. We wasted ~$50K with J & S.

He recently removed a dying ash tree for me that was right next to my sunroom (lots of potential shattered glass) and leaning over my roof. Chris does maintenance cabling/trimming on a neighbor's huge bracket backyard cottonwood tree and removed two huge cottonwoods for my next door neighbor last year, so he was highly recommended. Pricing was also very manageable; of about 7 total quotes, Reinholt was among the less expensive group that was willing to remove the tree by climbing rather than with a crane. I delayed the job by about 6 months from the time I got the quotes and had some communication misses when I went to reinstate contact, but we cleared that up painlessly. Chris showed up with a crew of 4 guys. Within 90 minutes the tree was down and they'd cleaned up and moved on to the next job. Everyone was polite, mindful of the landscaping and they definitely left the area cleaner than they found it. They brought what looked like 3/4 or full inch-thick sheets of plywood to protect the windows and left no damage. As a female homeowner with no "man of the house" contractors can be challenging, but Chris is not one of those and I definitely recommend him.
