Bookcliff Landscaping quoted $740 for the work. When the work was completed I received a bill for $1040, a 40% increase. No mention was made that there would be additional costs till the bill came. I have lived here 15 years and I have never had this problem from any contractor. My opinion they are crooks

Description of Work: They did a good job clearing out the old courtyard. We told Russ the CLP that we have a huge rabbit problem and needed plants that were rabbit resistant. Within 2 weeks the rabbits had eaten 25 plants. When I told Russ from Bookcliffs Garden, he said it would be additional $600 to replace them! I understand nothing was guarenteed, but they are not willing to work with me after spending that much money!!!

We did not care for the landscape architects at Bookcliff personally. In addition, they were very expensive. They also would not give any ideas before being paid. We had no idea how he sees the job and if we would want him to work for us. We also did not care for their contract which they asked us to sign. It was not reasonable in our opinion.

I only had them once and I would never have them again. They came out last Fall or early Spring. I wanted them to rake up the leaves and cut back some of the dead growth. I wanted them to do a clean up and tidy up. I have a container garden. I wanted that raked over and cleaned and the containers stacked up for the Winter. They did not stack them up. They had to use blowers and I wanted them to use rakes. They charged too much. They were here most of the afternoon and it was a mess. They charged me over $200 for 5 men. It was ridiculous. It was not satisfactory work.
Description of Work: I used Bookcliff Gardens for lawn and yard work. They were terrible. I have a very small yard. Someone came out to see the work and see what had to be done. Five people came out and they were tripping over each other. They did not do what I asked them to do. I had to call and ask them to come back. They are through!

The provider did nothing and never provided an estimate. It appears they are not interested in doing any work.
Description of Work: I contacted the provider to give me an estimate to landscape my yard. I was told they would look at in in a few days and provide me with an estimate. As of this date I have not heard from the provider.

The project started on the scheduled date and went without any glitches. It wasn't an easy job! They had to remove rock and then put down pavers. The guys that worked on the project were very nice and tried very hard to please us. The yard looks wonderful!
Description of Work: Bookcliff designed and then re-landscaped our yard. They were very professional and helpful. We couldn't be happier with the results!

Very professional and knowledgeable. Had them quote design they came up with and they were a little high. However, if I did not install myself, I would have used Bookcliff.

We purchased trees from my parents home in Grand Junction about 15 years ago. They have a beautiful nursery and the trees are still alive and well. I'm not currently in the Grand Junction area but when I move back, I will go to them again.

He is very good and reliable. Sometimes I have to do the trimming myself and sometimes I have to tell them to do certain things. They do all the work I ask them to do. They are very good and professional.

Great experience. I was very pleased with Bookcliff Gardens from start to finish. Having never been a gardener, I was at a loss as to where to begin with my yard. The landscape designer was very knowledgeable, forthcoming with design ideas and in explaining his ideas in detail. He made the design process fun and provided the price quote on time. Work actually began ahead of schedule. The on-site team was very hard-working, capable, courteous and pleasant to deal with. The office manager was also very helpful, knowledgeable and responsive to my questions. The entire team was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend this company. The project was completed on schedule even accommodating changes that I made for additional work. My yard looks great! Thanks Bookcliff Gardens!
Description of Work: The Bookcliff Gardens landscaper came to my home to assess the state of my yard and then gave recommendations for new plants and trees to replace sick or dead ones. They removed two trees, several plants and completely redid 4 flower beds and laid new rock. They planted 2 trees, several hedges and plants.

Their plants are always in great condition and do exceptionally well but are at a higher price than at the big box stores. I find that I am paying for the advice and the variety of plant selection when I shop there.

I would use them again. They were very helpfull.
Description of Work: We went to the nursery to find some scrubs for a planter we put in. They were very helpful in educating us. The experience was very good. The only problem was that you have to go chase someone down to get help. Once we did get some to help us they spend all the time we needed.
