Lifescape

On time and on budget.

See the description above

Never received a return phone call.

They were very responsive to our inquiry and provided a prompt and very professional proposal. It was just more than we wanted to spend so we chose another company.

I think they did really great.

We spent $35,000. The package included the design. We have to pay extra for the designer. That was huge for me. The price was pretty reasonable. They took everything out and put everything new in; new sprinkler systems, new grass, new planting, new planter bags and new lighting. I will use this company in the future.

They are really good with customer service. They are very creative as well.

I hired this company to install a large patio and seat wall. I met with LeAnn, one of the designers, who came to my house and came up with some plans after she listened to what it was I was looking for. I could tell she really "got" it. The thing I really appreciated about her (which was not true of the other company I had come out to meet with me) is that she was very open to doing our project in stages, over several years if necessary. The first company I spoke with discouraged this and didn't seem all that interested in working like that. LeAnn, however, suggested to me that we might want to break the project up if it exceded our budget(we plan to eventually put in a built in firepit and to wrap our wooden posts with stone). Also the first company (Designs by Sundown, which does great work but didn't really meet my needs for this job) said we would have to take out the concrete slab patio we already had to put in the new one, which would have been added a lot to the budget. Lifescape however said they could pave over it (I didn't have to ask-their idea). At first I was blown away by the estimate (Sundown's was pretty much the same for what I wanted). However, when I saw the process I understood. It took about 2 1/2 weeks. They were here every day by 7 am and worked straight through 5 or 6 pm. There were usually 5 workers here every day. They were very professional and polite. When I had questions about the project the designer and project director were very accessible by phone and E-mail. They had to lay new sod in part of the yard they had to dig up, and came by a couple of weeks after the project was finished to see how the sod was "taking". At that time we mentioned that there was a small paver that cracked, and they took a picture of it to bring back to the office to see if they could replace it.We are thrilled with our new patio and we are looking forward to working with this company again in the future.

It went very well, although we won't see many of the results until the spring/summer. The design process involved meeting with Gary Kayser at our home and giving him a sense of what we wanted. A month later, Daniel, one of the company's designers, met with us to go over a preliminary design. We made some modifications to the design and the company then put together a construction bid. Unlike many landscape designers, Lifescape is a design/build firm. Once we accepted the bid and signed a contract, the landscaping was scheduled. The total time was about five days, interrupted by a snow storm. Lifescape removed a tree, several bushes, ivy that was covering the walls, and some ground cover. They extended the front bed, converted the irrigation system to a drip system for all of the plantings and trees, installed a new flagstone path on the side of the house, added four low voltage landscape lights, and planted and mulched the beds with a variety of shrubs, ground cover and perennials.
