I met Steve Hansen and his show yard to get some ideas and begin talking about what I needed for my home. I paid the consultation fee so he could take a lot at my yard and discuss what I wanted and share ideas. This fee counted towards the final estimate. He was available through emails and was quick to respond to my questions. His team showed up on time, were courteous and professional, and did a great job with my landscaping. They left the area clean. There was a follow up a couple of weeks later to see how the plants were doing, and they even replaced a couple of plants that weren't growing well. I'm very pleased with their service and work!
Description of Work: Upgraded my landscaping by trimming trees, replacing old plants with new, and replaced mulch with stones.

Steven Hansen came out to see my yard for the first time and to come up with a design. He sent the completed detailed design and associated costs to me for review. I decided on the options he provided. They added some Japanese maples, tree roses, other plants and landscape light to my front yard. Additionally, they filled in bares areas with river rock. The actual work took place over a two day period. Steven and his staff are very knowledgable, creative, professional, prompt, and provide excellent customer service. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Steve did some redesign of my front yard . I had used Hansen Landscape in my previous home in the East Bay for new design, installation and on- going maintenance. I've had very good experiences with Steve and his staff. While their prices can be a be a bit high, the final work is well worth it.

he did replace the sprinkler head, but then just gave me a list of the other sprinkler heads that needed to be traded around, based on full, half, quarter coverage. with the lighting, he didn't even figure out that there was a sensor on the lighting set and so could not even get them to come on, nonetheless fix them. and I'm not exactly sure how much extra we paid for the time it took for him to figure out there was no electricity going thru the lighting. all he needed was to put a black piece of tape over the sensor to see which of the lights were connecting and which weren't. I ended up having to do the job myself after he was gone. But I have to say, he was prompt, very nice, and good at the sprinkler repair. so if that's what you need, then they were fine.
Description of Work: We asked them to replace/fix a sprinkler head adjust other heads, and get lighting working.

I thought that Steve was excellent and very professional, but I thought his estimate was high.
Description of Work: He gave an estimate for back yard landscaping which included concrete work for a deck.
We are extremely pleased with the work that Hansen Landscape Contractor performed. Our experience was similar to other Angie's list members: the job was done quickly, professionally and with no drama. We were not easy customers and didn't really know what we wanted. We met Steve once at his show yard and he came to our house twice over a period of about 2 years before we decided to proceed with the project. Steve was very patient and professional throughout. Like some other Angie's list members, we found that Steve's quotes were on the high end of the multiple quotes we solicited. However, an analysis of the quotes showed that the main difference was the labor rates. When I discussed this with Steve, he was very forthcoming and indicated that he has many long-term, full-time employees and he insists on paying them a living wage and offering them benefits. We decided we were willing pay a little more to know that the job would be done right and to support a business that treats its employees fairly. That decision was justified when the job was finished in 2 days. The foreman and crew were professional, friendly and easy to communicate with. Even though the job was done after the second day, the team cleaned up the work site after the first day. We wanted a few minor things changed which they did quickly at no additional cost. Six months later we are still very satisfied with the landscaping. We requested deer-resistant plants; after 6 months the deer did eat two of the species that Hanson selected and planted in several locations. Steve did offer to replace these plants although we decided to just try out some different plants on our own. Overall, we are very happy customers, we would definitely use Hansen Landscape Contractor again and highly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Hansen landscaping removed our lawn and replaced it with low water, low maintenance landscaping. This job included conversion of our sprinklers to a drip system, addition of some drainage, creating a crushed-granite path, removal of unwanted plants/shrubs, trimming of some mature plants, and addition of mulch, rock, boulders and edging.
Very professional service. Owner showed up to do initial estimate and went over couple of designs for the front yard, also gave couple of helpful pointers about drainage and sprinkler system installation. The whole project was very well managed, I got regular updates on the progress and the whole thing was done on-time. People showed up on time and did what they supposed to do. Oh and show room is fantastic, if you planing to do a front yard or back yard check it out. Overall very pleasant experience, will recommend for others to use.
Description of Work: We decided to redo our front-yard remove all the juniper bushes and put in a lawn with some flowers on the perimeter. We removed the bushes ourself, Hansen guys reconditioned the soil, then let it burn-in for a month a so. Then sprinkler system was put in, then lawn, and finally some flowers planted.

They were very professional. They have a show place with samples of stone and little waterfalls. He was very flexible and asked us what our goals and budget were. Based on that he made us a couple of different plans. We made some modifications and he made it fit within our budget. He made it very manageable. It was expensive work and we didn't check with anybody else regarding pricing.

Very quick response to my call for an estimate. Provided great ideas and willingly incorporated our ideas into the design. Work was started when it was scheduled. The crews that came in were courteous, professional and worked with us when I requested minor changes. The area was cleaned up thoroughly at the end of the day every day.

Once I told them I would not pay for an estimate, they were very nice. If I had a $50,000 job, I would not call them - more power to them to get $135 an hour for manual labor, but not from me.
Description of Work: We called 3 companies. They were the only 1 that would not give complimentary quote - just to visit our home they wanted to charge us $89, and then $135/hr (for sprinkler repair, installation). I understand the job is small, but I'd rather they just tell me they don't want a $1000 job than be so heavy handed.

Response from Hansen Landscape Contractor
The Member called our sister company AAA Sprinklers with a dissatisfaction with his existing old sprinkler system. He stated some of it worked and some not. He had leaks and areas where the system did not cover properly. I spoke with the Member personally and based on the information he supplied me, I determined his project required initial troubleshooting and investigation in order to first locate and determine the extent of repair needs. I told him that we would have to handle this type of service at least initially on an hourly basis before we could consider offering a fixed cost to get him up and running. Our fee for a sprinkler service call is $135 which included travel time to and from the site along with the first 1/2 hour labor. Additional hours would have been at $85 per hour. The Member was looking for a professional technician to visit his home, locate, dig up (literally) and investigate the problems, and only then provide a free estimate upon becoming familiar with the job and the problems needing repairs. This may have taken a couple hours or more. We are sorry Member we could not accommodate your request by sending out a sprinkler technician and providing you labor and professional advise at no cost.

Currently we have not had any services completed. However, we are in the design process and we look forward to starting our project. So far Steve has been great with responding to emails and phone calls. He has offered many different options that can fulfill our landscaping needs. I feel very secure that Hansen's Landscaping will do an excellent job once we decide on a final plan.

I broke off one of the automatic sprinkler valves while doing some other work and needed a professional to replace it. I found them on Angie's List and was very happy with the work. They came when they said, fixed the problem in one day. I need some other work done to find a leak and when I have a few extra dollars I will definitely use them again.

Hansen Landscape Contractor has come out to do a consultation and speak with us. When they came out they brought a whole selection of pictures of other jobs that they have done, including pictures of their site. They were perfect. The gentlemen who came out were very nice and easy to understand. They were very quick and all of the pictures were very pleasing to the eyes. They did a very good job. We have been very pleased with the landscaping work. I like that I could call them up today and they would come out to fix anything I had a concern about.

This was almost a dream job. Steve Hansen was terrific. He took the time to understand what I wanted, offered design suggestions and determined how to get around some problems in the layout. Numerous emails were exchanged about dog doors and plants and he patiently addressed all my questions and concerns. The workmen were courteous, showed up on time and cleaned up the worksite quite well. One glitch occured because of the sudden illness of one of the workmen and that was handled very well. I am extremely pleased with my dog run and so are my dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Hansen Landscape again.
Description of Work: Completed a dog run on the side of the house including installing a dog door, an enclosure in the garage, and landscaping and a gate.

The sprinkler system suddenly developed a leak which necessitated turning off the water to the system. The company sent someone out within a day of my call. He was a little later than expected, but called ahead to let me know. It transpired that we had more than one problem - he ran all of the stations and identified all of the system problems and then fixed them. Very polite, very helpful, and very reasonable. Absolutely will use again.
Description of Work: I needed a couple of leaks repaired - the technician identified the problems and noted a couple of other issues - checked the whole system and made repairs as needed.

Charges 55.00 as a service call and 85.00 an hour, but will give estimate first if asked. Works quite rapidly and efficiently when discovering what has to be repaired/fixed/replaced and then checks zones twice to make sure it's working. Quite satisfied with his work, Mike was the technician. Would not hesitate to call again.
Description of Work: Fixed broken pop-up sprinkler, (replaced) six in total and replaced one with a longer stem. Checked all three zones carefully. Checked 3 zones that had drip units to make certain all were functioning OK.

It went quite well. Mike was very patient in explaining the system and quite efficient in identifying and fixing the problems. I am very comfortable that I will be watering efficiently this year. I will do this "spring tune-up" every year from now on.
Description of Work: Spring sprinkler tune-up: inspected lines, heads, and made sure each station worked. Found drip lines that weren't working and fixed them as well as a break in a sprinkler head. Instructed me in how to program the system correctly (I was doing everything manually and watering to excess).
I had four landscapers that I interviewed. Steve Hansen provided the best overall to me in customer-client relationship, vision for design and professionalism. He offered ideas to help with the cost of the project. The project was done in stages. Everything was removed from the backyard with the exception of five trees/shrubs. The project took about six weeks or so to complete. Concrete went in first and then electrical. The backyard was leveled and the irrigation installed. Boulders were delivered and paths laid out. Plants, trees and sod installed and finally the rock paths finished. Everything went very well. Hansen has been in business for 30 years and it shows. He has everything fine-tuned for the workers and clients. I really appreciated the hard work the guys put in every day they were here. Jack, the foreman, kept me apprised of every detail. The crews cleaned up meticulously at the end of each day. It went beautifully and I am extremely satisfied!!!
Description of Work: Complete front and rear (large) yard landscaping. Work in front yard included new stamped and colored concrete driveway and walkway, flagstone porch. Irrigation system, lighting, new sod and plants. Lodi rock, boulders and bark added. Back yard included stamped, colored concrete patio, pondless double waterfall, irrigation system and lighting. Sod installed, lodi rock pathways and boulders. New plants and trees added to compliment design and existing plants. Fence repaired and new gate installed.

Although their work is beautiful, we decided not to hire this business because of the estimate gap.
Description of Work: We paid $250 for the Site Design Consultation. Steve spent about forty minutes with us as we told him what we were looking for, what elements we wanted, etc. He then took measurements of our yard and about three days later gave us a proposal of $25,000 to $45,000. This description of the work to be done included a bulleted list of seven things which were exactly seven things we told him we wanted, he did suggest a different stone wall to us but that was about it. We did ask for explanation, perhaps a sketch or description of what the finished product would look like etc but thirteen emails later, we decided to just eat the $250 and look elsewhere. Steve's workers do beautiful work but an unexplained $20,000 gap in the estimate didn't leave us in a comfortable spot.

THE CONSULTATION EXPLORED VARIOUS PROJECT DIRECTIONS THAT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A WIDE LABOR AND MATERIALS COST RANGE FOR CONSTRUCTION. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO THE CLIENT THAT THEIR BUDGET WOULD ULTIMATELY DICTATE THE DESIGN DIRECTION. THEY WERE UNABLE TO MAKE UP THEIR MIND IN SO FAR AS HOW MUCH THEY WHERE WILLING TO INVEST INTO THIS PROJECT AND CONSEQUENTLY NO FURTHER DESIGN WORK OR DRAWINGS COULD BE OFFERED.

THE START TIME WAS TO HAVE STARTED WHEN CREW SHOWED UP, HOWEVER, AFTER THE CLIENT SIGNED THE WORK ORDER TO THIS EFFECT, ONLY PAID FOR THE PORTION OF WORK THAT OCCURRED ONLY AFTER CREW GOT THEIR TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT INTO THE YARD.
