Garden Maintenance Professionals in Mercer Island, WA

“Justino and his team did a full remodel of our yard. Justino was a huge help in finalizing the design. He also came up with a number of creative solutions to some of the issues with our property. We had a few challenges that we had to work through. The project was larger than Justino anticipated and it took longer than we thought. We also ended up more over budget than we thought. Overall we are really happy with the way everything turned out. Justino was a great partner and always worked to make us happy. I highly recommend his services.”

“I can’t say enough about George Ortiz’s Caring Landscape Services. My son and daughter-in-law were going to be married and I offered the use of my home for the venue. It would need a lot of sprucing up for the event and I heard about Caring Landscape Services from a friend, so I reached out to George and talked to him about looking at the job. He replied with what was to become a phrase I’d hear over and over from George even though their company was from Washington and my home is in Oregon, “That’s not a problem”. George and his 8-man crew, showed up at my house at 7:00 am, having made the 3 hour drive from the Seattle area to my home in Portland and they got right to work, and after two visits about 8 months apart, my property was transformed into the ‘Wedding Venue’ of my dreams. Their attention to detail and blew me away, they even washed all the windows, inside and out! My property has never looked so fantastic, and I highly recommend Caring Landscaping Services and of course George Ortiz. Dave Hilts Portland, OR”

“Jacob worked with us on planning our backyard project, and was very patient and professional as we changed our design a few times. Jacob was very helpful, making recommendations based on our budget. The Dreamscapes team installed a garden wall to raise the length of my sloping backyard. The 3 foot high stone wall has some curves and includes stairs making it easier for us to tend to our garden without having to climb the wall. They also installed pavers for a nice addition to our smaller patio, this makes for a nicer foundation when we entertain family and friends. We are extremly happy with our beautiful backyard Oais. We will definately use their services again and highly recommed them.”

“Gibraltar landscaped and redesigned my yard and pool surround. Cole and his team are talented and easy to work with. Their ideas were insightful and beautifully executed. Aaron and his crew are professional and work quickly. I would choose Gibraltar again, we are extremely satisfied with our yard.”

“Fantastic job! Britescape is highly recommended. The consultation was detailed and professional and gave me a vision for lighting I couldn't have designed myself. With their knowledgeable placement and advice, the nighttime landscape turned out more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. We now enjoy these spaces in a whole new way. Their crew was super nice and knowledgeable. Everyone was committed to making us happy with the project down to the last details. I will definitely be using them again for the next project.”

“We hired Bret and his crew to totally redo our front yard. The results are wonderful and we love what they did. I wanted less maintenance, new walkway and wall, and to use some of the existing plants. They did all of that and more. Bret made lots of plant suggestions and listened carefully to my likes and dislikes. I would recommend them to anyone considering an extensive yard makeover.”

“I have used Mike Clifford for over 17 years and he is by far one of the best landscapers in the business. We have lived in 3 houses in the Pacific NW and each time Mike's company would design our landscaping. The design is exceptional and the results are even better. His team is simply outstanding. He has done large projects for me including massive 3 acre designs to small things and he always sweats the details. His last job for us was a completely redesigned (and badly needed) driveway which is now the talk of our whole neighborhood. You will never go wrong with Mike Clifford and Bear Creek Landscaping.”

“We recently hired Bill Bowlus with Living Earth Landscapes to design our front yard and are extremely pleased with the result. We had some ideas (add several large boulders, use only plants that are easy maintenance with open mulched space in between), but didn’t know how to put it all together. The fact that we wanted to bring in large boulders complicated the process for us since not all landscapers who can suggest and arrange nice plants are also adept at bringing in and placing large boulders. Since the two processes would have to be coordinated before placing large rocks, we needed one person who could handle it all. What we liked about Bill: 1) His design ability. He listened to what we wanted (besides our ideas, we had some photos from yards we’d seen) and designed it even better than we had envisioned. He sent several plant and tree lists for us to choose from and we had lots of questions about these which he patiently answered after our various trips to different nurseries to see them in person. He brought out the larger plants and we worked together on placing these and marking the spaces for large rocks until we agreed on the design. The day of the rock placement (with large cranes), Bill expertly directed the placement, tuning rocks on their sides and digging them in to look like they were naturally protruding from a hillside and seeming larger than they were, thus we were able to get by with smaller rocks that still looked significant. 2) His plant knowledge. Though we had our own ideas, Bill was able to help us stick with just plants that are known to be currently successful in our climate while still meeting our criteria for the look we were after. He adds new plants and drops off old plants from his suggestion list based on how harsh the winters have been lately (the snow last year made him drop a few items from the list). I liked knowing we were getting the hardiest specimens that met our criteria since I don’t want to have to baby any plants. He steered us away from trees we’d seen in neighbors’ yards because the size they would get in our timeframe would not work well. 3) His reasonable prices. We had gotten another bid and we were having trouble getting back in touch with the contractor whose price was higher (and whose ideas we didn’t care for). Bill gave us a price range for each of our 3 separate bids (we added on a nice flagstone path and a separate drip irrigation system) and the final prices for each were always in the middle—and usually closer to the lower end of the range--for each of the 3 projects. The cost for the landscaping, including rocks, trees, plants and of course the design work, was $9500. We opted to add on the path later since we felt the price for the landscaping was reasonable. 4) His quick response to questions. We’ve worked with various contractors who drive you crazy by not getting back to you in a timely manner, especially when you need information to make a time-sensitive decision. Bill was great about answering questions quickly so we could proceed. We would highly recommend Bill for any of your landscape design needs.”
