Thunderbird Design

I requested the quote and was promptly ignored. I haven't heard from anyone at all.

Went well. Workers were great. Preformed every task well. Looks great! Showed up early every morning and worked hard all day long. Picked up every evening. Very professional.

They never responded back to my initial email.

It went extremely well. Thunderbird communicated with us daily to ensure we liked the placement of everything before they planted. They chose beautiful natural materials and plants and always left the work site clean and orderly. Everyone on the team was terrific - owner, designer, irrigation specialist, work crew, office staff - all were professional and responsive. We would not hesitate to recommend Thunderbird Design to anyone looking for a landscape company and will definitely use them again in the future for landscape and hardscape.

I spent roughly $1800. There seems to be a bit of a disconnect between the designer and the laborers.

Thunderbird did a fantastic job. They gave me a price, showed up on time and completed the work in a professional and timely manner! I could not be happier.

My yard needed a face lift, and I had some drainage issues I needed help with. Thunderbird Design did a design, replaced rock and mulch bedding, plants, fixed grading against the house, and ran a few downspouts underground through my yard. I won't know if this fixed my basement flooding issues until April, but the yard looks great. The crew of 4-5 was there for 4 days. They were respectful and helpful when I had questions and comments. They did quality thorough work. Even fixed issues with my sprinkler system as they found a leak and an issue with my controls. No discussions or extra charges, just fixed it. Dustin did my design, and was quick to respond and help as needed before and during the project. Now that my front yard and part of my back yard look so much better, the rest of my back yard looks even worse :-) Dustin is coming out this week to talk about a design and price for the rest of my back yard. I felt the price was a bit high, but this may be the first time I ever had work done at my house and was satisfied.

No resolve yet so I would nor reccomend this company at all. My job was fairly basic and did not turn out well at all.

My wife and I were very pleased with our experience with Thunderbird Design. After an initial design quote stalled out, Dustin engaged and rose to our challenge to "value engineer" the project. He listened to our priorities and delivered a really nice design that fit our budget. Felipe and the crew were very proficient and attentive to any questions we had during the progress of the work. The outcome is excellent, and we look forward to enjoying the new landscape as it grows and evolves of the years to come.

Excellently. I could tell the Supevisor knew what she was doing. Her assistants followed her instructions carefully and they all worked diligently I was so happy with their work! The only difficulty I has was the scheduling, not knowing when they would show up. I do not like having to call and call to get my services. It makes me feel like a shrew. Other than that I was perfectly satisfied and pleased.

They were able to send someone out very quickly to assess our needs and get us an estimate - it only took a few hours for the estimate to come in. Unfortunately the estimate came in quite a bit higher than other companies that I was considering so we did not end up using Thunderbird Design. Overall they were very timely and professional and I'm sure they would have done great work, but were just too expensive for us.

Job went great. Work done in a single day and ahead of schedule. Will definitely be on my list for future work.

Thunderbird was excellent. Geoff created a great design and his team was hard-working and professional. They were responsive to all needs and took extra trips over to the house to coordinate with a deck builder and to teach us about the irrigation system. I recommend them highly.

Thunderbird did a great job. The crew at our house was always friendly and Chuck (pergola builder) executed our vision flawlessly. The pergola was positioned in an awkward spot right about against the house and we had concerns about it blocking our windows. Chuck got it just right! Unlike other landscaping projects I have noticed throughout our neighborhood, Thunderbird brought a large crew and got the job done fast. The bulk of the work was done in three days, with bad weather pushing some final staining back one additional day.

Chad, Marcus, Alberto and the rest of the team at Thunderbird did a great job on my back yard. The ending result was better than I had envisioned. I would absolutely hire them again for my next landscaping project!

Job was done ahead of schedule and completed in a single day. They were responsive, professional and did a VERY good job.

PRETTY BAD. Guys came out and looked at the project, but didn't bring the right people. After 3 weeks of waiting for an estimate and no word, I called back. They quickly answered and the woman on the phone sighed when I told her no one had gotten back to me, as if this had happened all too often. The gentlemen who first visited my house then got on the phone (apparently they have cushy offices, btw) and said he was waiting for the owner to take a look and would then get back. He made a comment that he wasn't sure if they wanted to get involved with my project, or something along those lines. I guess $30K is peanuts for these guys. Long story short, these guys never called me, and after that comment, I certainly never followed up with them. I hired JTD Enterprises (John Fennelly) in Littleton instead and have no regrets!! I have not been this happy with the quality of someone's work in quite some time. If you want a fair price and a true professional, steer clear of these guys at Thunderbird. A fancy website doesn't mean they are good. Thunderbird is all "smoke and mirrors". I highly recommend JTD Enterprises.

Contacted Thunderbird Design and asked if they worked with all budgets or if they had a minimum. I was told in an email and by Dustin that there was NO minimum. This is false. The project I wanted completed was estimated at $1,586.57. When I said I wanted to move forward, Dustin said they could not take on a project that small. So, apparently they do NOT work with all budgets and YES there is indeed a minimum amount you must spend before they take on your project. I have to wonder, why wast my time? Why not explain there is a minimum dollar amount before Thunderbird will take on a project? I understand businesses need to make money, but why not be up front about it instead of giving potential clients false information. So before contacting Thunderbird Design I would advise you to let them know how much your willing to spend. That way they can tell you if they are willing to take on your project. Again, even though they tell you they do, they do NOT work with all budgets and YES there is a minimum dollar amount.

Company contact refused to even talk to me

After reviewing the positive information on Angie?s List, I decided to hire Thunderbird Design to install a small side yard area for my new home in Stapleton. I hired them for the following: -- Create patio/landscaping plan-- Replace a 4 foot fence with a 6 foot fence-- Install a paver patio-- Install landscaping plants-- Adjust existing sprinkler system to accommodate new plantings In early July 2014, Dustin created a great design that utilized the small space effectively. I also really liked the plants that he selected for the landscaping. Once the design was created and I submitted my deposit, I was told the installation could not begin until early September. I was happy to wait, as the comments that I read on Angie?s List, along with the beautiful photos on the Thunderbird Design website, it appeared the company would be a good choice. However, once the installation process started, I found that I had to spend a good deal of time managing and reporting many different problems to Dustin. Here is a summary the problems that I encountered with Thunderbird Design: The design called for a two level paver patio. When the pavers started to go in, I had to notify Dustin that the installers were only putting in one level. So, the pavers had to be pulled up and started over. Once the second level was in, I noticed that it was crooked, so I notified Dustin. This had to be rebuilt. With a two level patio, two steps from the house needed to be built. The two steps from the house to the patio were built at different heights. So, when you would walk down the steps, it was awkward with the steps being different heights. The steps had to be rebuilt. The crew started planting around the patio on a Friday. They didn?t finish planting everything before the end of the day, but they left many of the plants out of the pots, with their roots exposed. This was over a particularly hot weekend when I happened to be out of town. When I came home on Sunday evening, I noticed the plants were beginning to dry out and turn brown. Also, it looked like the crew left in a hurry that day, as their tools were scattered all over the yard. They even left a wheelbarrow full of cement, which had hardened. After all the plants went in, mulch was installed around the patio and around the new plants around the front. The installation of the mulch was haphazard and sloppy ? the lower branches of the smaller plants were covered, and in some places, the mulch was several inches think, and in other places it barely covered the ground. My home came with a four foot fence that I wanted converted to a six foot fence. Thunderbird said they would reuse as much of the existing fence to build the new fence. They were good about reusing the materials, but the construction of the fence was sloppy. One of the new posts is crooked from the fence line. Also, as I was staining the fence after the construction, I found that many of the nails ?missed the mark? and were pointing through on the other side. I also found that in many places, the center nail wasn?t installed, so the boards (which run horizontally) were only secured on either end, and not on the middle post. I notified Dustin and he sent out someone to correct this problem. Also, there are many places along the fence line where the soil covers anywhere between 6 ? 12 inches of the bottom of the fence. When I expressed a concern about the amount of soil sitting up against the fence and that it could rot the lower portion of the fence, Dustin said they would take some preventative measures to correct this. The correction was to lay 4 x 4s around the base of the parts of the fence. It looked terrible and I asked for those to be removed. Dustin does not believe soil against the fence can cause rotting and I told him that I disagree. The patio has been in place now about six months, and there are already low spots where the rain and snow-melt collect. It appears the sub-layer was not installed properly, causing spots in the patio to sink. My suggestions to anyone considering Thunderbird Design:-- Once you are satisfied with your design, insist on having an in-person walkthrough with the designer and the manager of the installation. For my project, the designer and the installation manager did not communicate well about what was in the design.-- Meet with the installation manager at the end of each day during the installation phase to review what has been completed. If you wait too long, you may need to have things demolished and rebuilt.-- Thunderbird?s fence building abilities are okay, but nothing very skillful. You might consider finding a fencing company who know how to properly build a fence. The design services from Thunderbird were great ? the installation services were sloppy and very frustrating.

We had reached out to them to give us a quote for new landscaping for our unlandscaped backyard. Eric was extremely professional and very diligent in his inspection/measurements for the area. He was prompt, professional, and extremely polite to work with. While their estimate was beautiful (at least from an architectural perspective), it was out of our budget and we had to go with our alternative. However, should we require any re-design or any further work in the future, we will most certainly call them!

We bought a home built in 1971 and moved in four years ago. Since then we've hired countless contractors and specialists as we've renovated the house. We've had numerous really good experiences, but for the most part, it's been a challenge, either with timelines getting way out of whack, the work being shoddy, or the service is just not great. With Thunderbird Design, they were top notch. Our experience has been amazing. Adam and Amber have been so courteous, reliable, and professional throughout both parts of the project. We had people over last week and the yard looked so good - everyone commented on it. We have wanted a peaceful, low maintenance yard and Adam listened and delivered on it! I know they work on much larger projects all the time, yet I never once felt that in their level of attention to detail and professionalism. I cannot say enough about these guys. They charged a bit more, yet we knew after getting three bids we were going to be much happier with our investment with Thunderbird Design. Thank you!

I originally had Thunderbird Design put in a sprinkler system, lawn, landscape the front and back yards, and put in a brick patio. This work was done in July 2013. I have used them to service my sprinkler every year. Recently, my beautiful brick patio sunk a little. Thunderbird Design staff came out to inspect it and decided they could fix it free of charge. Dustin was prompt when he came to inspect the patio. The workers who came out to replace the applicable portion of the patio were prompt and cleaned up their mess. The portion of the patio that was re-done, looks just as good as it did before. They did a wonderful job! I also have to add that every time I ask Thunderbird Design to come to my home either to service the sprinklers, replace plants that died during the winter, or to fix my patio, they are always willing to answer my questions even if the question does not relate to what they came for. I would highly recommend Thunderbird Design.

Was just wanting a consultation and plan for future reference. No additional work was performed.

I can not sing praises high enough to give the men adequate credit for a job so well done! In other words, I am VERY pleased with their work, their attitude, their friendliness, their professionalism, their humor, etc etc. George was fabulous as the on-site leader. He really sweated the details to make my wife and I happy with the plan, the materials, and the final outcome. Really great! Greenwood Village is very fussy about leaving the street clean without washing any materials down the storm sewer drains. The men left the sidewalk staging area cleaner than when they arrived!!
