I worked with Dustin from Thunderbird. He responded quickly to my emails and phone calls, accommodated my schedule, was prompt, professional, and listened to what I was looking for. He provided me with exactly what I was hoping for and I am extremely pleased.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. They communicated very well. They showed up on time and did what they said they would do. I have not followed up with the work.

Overall experience was excellent. Dustin and his team did an outstanding job. They got a delayed start due to weather but they kept us informed, came when expected, and kept the job site clean and orderly. The end product was just what we wanted, which they had helped us conceive when they first came out. Thunderbird isn't cheap - there were other providers willing to do the job for less - so you should be prepared to spend a little more with them. But you get a top quality product, done on time and within budget, and they care about their work. For us the extra cost (probably 10% - 20%) was definitely worth it. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Thunderbird built two pergolas for us - one in the front and one in the back yard - which are basically wood structures that provide shading to a patio.

Jessica was personally invested in my project from the start. Everyone involved, from Adam, the owner, down to the last crew member, has been professional and dedicated to completing every detail of Jessica's design to the highest standards. The staff and crew at Thunderbird were and continue to be responsive to my every need. My ugly concrete patio was transformed into a backyard oasis, and all obstacles (a second concrete patio beneath the first, a sprinkler mishap) were given prompt attention and resolved to my satisfaction. Work was completed on time and follow-up, including replacement of dead sod and plants, has been exceptional.

Once the work started, and there was a lot of work, they kept to schedule pretty well. I now have what I consider to be the best front lawn on the block. The foreman and workers were always very professional, and I had all my questions answered.
Description of Work: I had asked 3 or 4 contractors for bids on relandscaping my entire front yard, which was in pretty bad shape. That work was to include redesign of everything: trees, lawn, ornamentals, and irrigation. Some vendors seemed a bit ambivalent and were not responsive. Thunderbird not only came out, discussed what they thought would be a good design, but also invited our input. Then to top it off, they delivered a very nice, detailed plan complete with a to scale drawing, but also provided pictures of the plants they had suggested, and there was no charge. The cost was a bit more than I could handle at the time I received the bid, and I had to wait a year before I asked them to do the work.

Thunderbird was prompt, professional, friendly and exceeded our exacting expectations. We will be contracting with them in the spring to landscape the front yard. Neighbors who watched the activity were impressed with the work and plan to contact Thunderbird for their own projects.
Description of Work: Thunderbird was one of four companies we contacted in July to landscape our backyard. Dustin visited our home, listened to what we wanted, suggested some ideas and developed a landscape plan. The original plan was to create borders around the back yard with color and texture. During the initial excavation we inquired about replacing our antiquated irrigation system and Thunderbird installed new lines and timer. They put new sod in to remediate the torn up lawn afterward at no additional cost. Concrete pavers along the side of the house were replaced with slate and river rock, the pink landscape rock was replaced with mulch, and new perennials planted. They even planted the tulip bulbs I had pulled up earlier in the summer.

My small yard was a disaster. Overgrown trees and nothing but weeds. Dustin and his team removed the old plants and sod and corrected the drainage. Then they created a beautiful flagstone patio with walking paths and raised planting beds. My yard is now a source of pride to me and I am very happy with the work that was done. I am thankful that Angie's list led me to Thunderbird Design. I would use them again and will recommend them to all my friends.
Description of Work: The old landscaping in my yard was replaced with a large flagstone patio that includes drought resistent trees and plants. The work was finished on time and the property was left in pristine condition. Dustin and his crew were always on time, acted in a professional manner and were always respectful of the neighbors and the homeowner's association rules.

Dustin contacted me right away and we met within a day or two for initial design. He helped me with ideas (even what not to do!), and provieded a formal proposal quickly. I had a really short timeframe to work with, and he made it work beautifully. I asked for some additional work, and received a revised proposal. I was pleasantly surprised by a call to see if they could begin work earlier than planned! Work went smoothly and I had hands-on training of the sprinkler timer from the installation crew. Dustin followed up to make sure everything was completed satisfactorily. I have contracted them for maintenance and have a contract for the remainder of the year. Maintenance includes mowing, fertilizer, weed control, leaf and landscape debris removal and gutter and french drain clearing.
Description of Work: New lawn and sprinkler system. Old sod removal, spinkler system installed, soil preparation and new sod installation. Helped locate a plumber for necessary changes. Trained on sprinkler timer usage. Obtained waiver from Denver Water.

I am very happy with the project and consider it very successful. We have struggled getting some "punch list items" completed in a timely fashion this year but I do trust them. Everyone from Thunderbird was very professional and knowledgeable and pleasant. I would use them again but depending on tying up loose ends I would say you may need to be cognisant of their busy time when you need them. It is seasonal work and you do need to fit that into your expectations.
Description of Work: thunderbird came in to redesign existing courtyard. With the requirement they use as many existing plant materials and pavers. They replaced ext steps to courtyard as well as adding a small conversation area.they spent much time with me to assist in plant selection where needed and plantings they selected have done extremely well. They included installing a drip line as well as redirecting our downspout away from house and to prevent winter ice patch.

They warranty all of the plants and grass when you when you purchased their sprinkler services. Our grass came back half dead and they came out and re-sodded it. They stand behind their warranty and I really appreciate that. Not only do they do landscaping, but they also offer a lot of landscaping maintenance with great discounts. They are great and they do a good job.

We contacted 3 different landscaping companies to give us bids on completely re-modeling our fairly large front yard. Adam gave us a beautiful design that was immensely better than the sketch we gave him, and they seemed to be the only company that was not 'scared' at the idea of completely re-doing the sprinkler system. Adam worked with me to include my favorite perennials in the design. He also went through all the existing plants with me to salvage the ones worth saving and they were either worked into the new front plant beds, or the guys planted them in bare spots in our back yard (what a nice surprise). The foreman Chason and his team were wonderful to have around and they had a lot of bad weather to work through. They just kept slugging through the rain, working as much as they possibly could before everything would get too muddy. Somehow they managed to keep on schedule which was very impressive! We learned a lot through the process, and asked them to do additional work on the back sprinklers. The guys were really picky about getting everything just right, like not having any edging showing and partially burying the boulders so they looked more natural (thank you Adam and Chason, those details really matter). The plant beds are beautiful, with a variety of perennials, elevation changes, boulders, and a drip system supplying water to each plant. They are bordered by a rock mix of cobble and smaller rock and mulch covers the rest of the beds. We ended up having two different types of sod because the first order was delivered short. When we weren't happy, they came out and replaced the sod. Great service! Chason also came out to check on the sprinkler settings and plants as the summer went along. We now have one of the best front yards in the neighborhood and have received so many compliments! We heartily recommend Thunderbird Design to anyone that needs landscaping design and installation work.
Description of Work: The work that Thunderbird did included : -providing a design for the front yard -scraping the old sod and beds -re-grading the yard -putting in a new sprinkler system with grass zones and drip zones -covering the side yard with landscape fabric and gravel -laying sod -creating large plant beds -creating a paver stone path.

The project went very well from start to finish. Would recommend them to anyone looking for landscaping and hardscaping.
Description of Work: Thunderbird responded to my online request within 2 days. A landscape designer came out, measured our area and we discussed what we wanted. Within another couple of days he had a schematic drawn up and came over with pictures of materials, and offered ideas that were perfect for our space. The workers were proficient and they worked hard until they got it done. We will now enjoy our new back patio space just in time for spring and summer.

The initial meeting was very professional. The company was given a budget to work within. They came out and took measurements and photographs and designed a yard we were very happy with. The actual construction from start to finish was exactly on schedule with the exception of some bad weather days. The company never asked for a change to the estimate or final payment until we were satisified. Since then, we have had them maintain our yard for 1 summer and have been very satisified with the work. This includes weeding the gardens, cutting the lawn, and fertilization.
