We wanted to turn our old (tiny) back deck in to a much larger outdoor living space, and the front of our house was starting to look overgrown and neglected. Jeff had even more vision for what we wanted than even we did. The project(s) changed and morphed a few times, and Jeff and his crews were there every step of the way. He was always available via text/email, and made us feel like we were their only clients most of the time. I also wanted to point out just how fantastic the crews all were. Everyone was polite, tidy, and professional. They even put up with my exuberant golden retriever who couldn't wait for his friends to show up on a daily basis. The end results exceeded our wildest expectations, and we couldn't be more thrilled. The front yard gets complements often, and everyone wants a new back yard/deck like ours! I highly recommend Reflections for your next project - you certainly won't be disappointed.

Tiny backyard maximized for year-round use!

Jeff and Monica are a fantastic team and the crew they brought in to do our backyard was wonderful. The process started with getting Jeff our vision for our relatively shallow yard. Making it more usable year-round, maximizing the space and making it care and maintenance free as much as possible. We were presented with different plans, talked through each of the options and ended on a design that met both our budget and the ideas we envisioned. Crews showed up on time, cleaned/cleared anything every day. We have a new concrete back patio, new planting on top of our rockery, steps and a 'trial' to a top deck with amazing metal screens that create a focal point. Added a gas fireplace that seamlessly integrates with the rockery and really is the highlight of our yard! Project delivered on budget, on time and exceeding our expectations! Highly recommend Jeff and Monica and their team for any project, small or large!

18" drop into living room that Jeff left despite his claims of caring about safety (we have 2 young children)

We hired Jeff Skierka from Reflections Landscape and Construction of Sammamish, WA to demolish and rebuild our indoor fireplace and the surrounding area. Jeff quit our project without any warning or real reasons. (Although he did quit two days after we mentioned permits.) He failed to finish the job and left our house a dangerous construction zone, which is extremely unsafe for our two young children to be living in. The following are additional facts from our experience of working with Jeff: Safety/unfinished work: -Jeff's work appears not to be to code. The insulation he used for the chimney is not rated for fire safety (it would have melted), and it's exposed and affixed with paper tape (so it's not there permanently and the tape is an additional fire hazard). There are not enough screws in the wonderboard (nearly two feet between screws in some places - directions on the wonderboard clearly state screws should be placed every 6-8 inches), and the plywood on the roof was not even screwed in. When we asked Jeff about code, he became very defensive and yelled at us. -Jeff did not do any permitting for the project. He quit two days after we mentioned permits. -Jeff removed stairs around our fireplace (but did not rebuild them) leaving an 18" drop into the living room. -Jeff removed the chimney (but did not repair the roof), so our roof leaked. -Jeff left holes in our ceiling. -Jeff left the subfloor exposed, which is dirty and full of splinters because he pulled up flooring, but did not replace it. -Jeff damaged the insulation in the crawl space. -Jeff left debris from the demolition in our crawl space (we were told it was all going to be removed). -Jeff refused to remove the old fireplace unit from our entry (we were told it would be removed during demolition with the other debris). -Jeff left demolition debris on our front lawn for two weeks. It was only removed after we asked him repeatedly to remove it. But he still didn't remove the old fireplace unit. -Jeff's electrician overloaded a circuit (one he was specifically told not to connect to), and later he denied that he had been told not to use it. He also connected to live wires and left the our house without any explanation of the work he had done. Lack of communication skills: -Jeff does not communicate. We never knew when to expect him/his crew to show up. Several times we were told he would be at our house, but he was late (by several hours) or did not show up and did not call to tell us. When plans changed because of weather, we only knew after we contacted him. -Jeff does not listen to his clients. At our first meeting, we told him we wanted a minimal look. We also asked him to remove an unfinished column (it was splintering) and half wall adjacent to the stairs by the fireplace to open up the space. He proposed building a nine-foot wide outdoor-style fireplace. And later he claimed the column and wall removal were not part of the original project. -Jeff did not deliver architectural or conceptual designs. He drew one tiny sketch of one idea (no measurements), and when we told him again that we wanted a minimal design (as originally discussed), he didn't offer anything else. We had to draw the plans ourselves and take time to explain them to the subcontractors. -Jeff showed up at our house when the framing subcontractors were on site (they had told him not to come). He interrupted their work and tried to bully us into building his idea (without any actual design plans) instead of building what we wanted (which we had designed and discussed with the subcontractors). Jeff verbally attacked my husband so obviously that the subcontractors felt it necessary to apologize for Jeff's inappropriate behavior. (We also paid for labor time here, which was wasted by Jeff stopping work, yelling, and trying to change the design on the fly.) -Jeff charged us 20% on materials and dump fees, which he never told us he would do. This was in addition to 20% on labor. He also provided no receipts - only one invoice from a subcontractor. For a total of nearly $16,000, Jeff severely damaged our house and then walked away. And now we have to do all the work over again, since we have to fix everything he touched and finish the work ourselves. Time management: -The project was drawn out for five weeks. Only six days in those five weeks were days where work was being done. -We had two full weeks where the main part of our house was unable to be used because it was masked off and full of cement dust. Only three days in those two weeks were days where work was being done. -Jeff confirmed the install of our new fireplace unit himself, but he was unable to meet his deadline by over two weeks. We were present for this phone conversation, but Jeff denies that he confirmed the deadline with the fireplace store.

Hi Everyone, If you're looking for a good landscape design and installation team, I highly recommend Jeff and his team at Reflections Landscaping. After interviewing multiple landscape designers, we chose Jeff at Reflections because he was easy to work with and responsive. And a few weeks later, we couldn't be happier. He has been a pleasure to work with and now we have a gorgeous backyard and I never want to leave my house. We just want to hang out in our new beautiful back yard with all the songbirds and butterflies. He's honest, extremely knowledgeable, listens well, does quality work, shows up when he says he will, and provides a good value. We had a great experience working with Jeff at Reflections. You'll love your yard after the team helps you! Email Jeff today! From Rebecca D. P.S. I was skeptical about the installing lighting when he first mentioned it and now I'm the biggest fan. The trees are so artistically lit that they become the chandeliers themselves--our lawn is gorgeous both day and night!

After

We had Reflections do a fireplace makeover for us. They removed an old fireplace with rock facing and a cast iron stove and then built a new hearth, installed ledgerstone facing with a masonry mantel. Jeff gave us excellent design ideas and talked us through the decisions to be made. He helped us select the stone, hearth tile, and mantel and was outstanding to work with. He listened to our ideas, made sure that the fireplace would fit well with the rest of the house, coordinated with gas/electrical contractors, and kept us informed at every step. His crew was fantastic. They were respectful, prompt, courteous, and talented. The fireplace was so much better than we even imagined, and transformed the entire room. Highest recommendation.

After a heavy snow day, I had trees and limbs down. I called Eastside and Amanda was quick to…read morerespond to my inquiry and schedule the service call. The on-site crew- Brian, Donnie and Tyler-were great. They were on time, kept me continually informed of their process, made suggestions and improvements to prevent future damage, answered any questions I had and were always polite. The cleanup was nice as well. This was my first experience with a tree service and would hire them again if needed!

I really appreciated how they owned the entire end-to-end process, including coordinating directly with the city on the permit. That made everything much easier for me. The crew did an amazing job on both visits. Their pruning work was incredibly precise, and everything looks beautiful. They also did a thorough job cleaning up afterward, leaving the yard in great condition. There was a minor misunderstanding between myself and the project manager initially, but Eastside Tree Works handled it exceptionally well. They followed up with me, took the time to listen and understand exactly what I wanted, and promptly sent the crew back to complete the additional work. The crew truly went above and beyond. This was my second time working with Eastside Tree Works, and I would absolutely hire them again. I continue to recommend them to others. I really appreciate their customer service and love supporting small businesses like this. It's not always easy to find companies that care this much about doing great work and making sure their customers are happy. Thank you! And, extra shout out to Amanda. She is the best.

Ya'll, listen, Gerard's Landscaping is GREAT! I wanted a fence built, a flagstone path laid, and a…read moreretaining wall built. I talked to multiple contractors - some who just didn't call back, a few who said they couldn't (wouldn't) build the fence I wanted, and frankly, a few that I just didn't like. Gerardo showed up, chatted with me about what I wanted, took measurements, and gave me a bid on the spot. I was moving into a house I was rehabbing and needed a portion of this fence done right away because I have a dog and he hustled to not only build the new portion I needed, but went out of his way to do some repairs on the existing fence to keep my dog safe and secure. He and the people working for him showed a lot of attention to detail, checked in with me often about the project to make sure it was coming along and looking as I expected, and every day at the end of the day the work site was clean and organized. I'm planning some plant installations and a new deck and Gerard's Landscaping is going to be my first call!

They asked me technical questions on the grade for my backyard and the kind of material i need for the steps, which i had no clue about. So I told them that i would need guidance. They sent me a very lengthy message. Whoever was responding, was in the field and took time out to respond and didnt like that I had not done my due diligence. They told me that the market has changed and they need their customers to do some research. Then they gave me an arbutrary deadline to join a COMPLIMENTARY 10min call. The number of red flags in 1 message exchange. First of all, if you are in the field don't respond to the message or hire someone who can do it without getting upset that their customer do not know what they need.

We have new neighbors who we wanted to share the cost of the fence with, and we were getting bids that were astronomical, is the only word I can think of. At the suggestions of our neighbor, who did some work with Merino's for the other side of their yard, I reached out to them. Gerardo responded very quickly, got the pertinent details from my yard requirements, and showed up precisely when he said he would. They put together proposal, which was very competitive compared to the other ones, and I also had seen their work that was done on the other side of the yard. I was going to be out of town at the time, so I told him I needed it to be done before I left, or after I got back. He responded very quickly and said he could come out that afternoon and start the job. He showed up as promised, got the majority of the poles set that day, and his team came back the next day and knocked out 90% of the replacement and repaired fence. They showed up a day later for the final touches she clean up! Great job! I'm planning to bring him back to do some work on the front of my fence, which will be all on my bill. As far as splitting it with my neighbor, he did an excellent job of sending split invoices to both of us, no issues there! I would definitely recommend Gerardo and Merino's again.
