Everyone arrived promptly on time from outdoor expression. Even though the scope of the job was rather large, they made it look effortless. Not a leaf or weed was left where it didn't belong. Working with Andy was smooth, and quite enjoyable. It is not often that my husband raves about Work that we have done. Andy's design was and is spectacular, and even my picky husband had not a single complaint.
Description of Work: Andy provided a design worthy of a resort. His people planted 198 plants and edged around the existing yard. They removed more dead plants than I care to count, and did a great deal of pruning on the property as well. Pine straw was carefully laid around all of the plants, along with Pinebark. The backyard looks amazing! The improvements made to the front beds are very good as well and my husband and I are very pleased.

Andy Stewart and his crew did an outstanding job! They were always on time and even when the weather was bad, they still came out and we able to get a lot of work done. I would highly recommend this company!
Description of Work: We replaced our driveway, walkway and front stoop. We replaced all landscaping in the front yard, moved a small tree, and had some drainage issues corrected and installed a parking pad using pavers.
Our home is nearly a year old, but the 'contractor' landscaping has been planted without regard to growth pattern - front items are taller than the bushes behind, corner bushes will grow tall enough to take out our gutters. The sides and back of the house have had no plantings at all. Being an experienced professional designer, Andy Stewart has developed a plan for our entire yard that flows beautifully all around. Our side property line is about 15 feet from the house, but we have been able to plant a columnar shaped tree that reaches our second floor window - it's a great tree that keeps a narrow design....we love it! About 8-10 of our original bushes have been transplanted in other areas. We have a 2nd story deck in back and, because the sunlight is minimal underneath half this area, Andy has created a whole new look with shade bushes, hydrangeas (that like less sun), and 2-tones of ground cover. Also, the problem drainage has been completely corrected with gutter water moving underground and a (back-up) new above-ground drain being installed (surrounded by smooth stones and a dome cover to prevent debris issues) - it looks very garden-like. The added step-stones from our stairs to our patio make the entire area complete. New sod has been placed around the stones (rather than pine straw) for neater maintenance. Several areas of our yard have had gutter drainage re-routed underground to a main (non-sewer) drainage area. We absolutely love this, because the gutters are no longer dumping water near the house foundation nor washing down our landscaping. The whole design of our yard is beautiful - the neighbors have given many compliments. Plant choices are a little less traditional in some areas and not symmetrical. Our crew, headed by Ishmael, has been extremely hard-working. They are detail-oriented and never leave a mess. This has been a very positive experience from start to finish. We have had other estimates, but no other company has identified or provided the irrigation solutions we have received with Outdoor Expressions. From the beginning, we have had total confidence in Andy. His actions have consistently proved him to be extremely capable and high in integrity. This is a wonderful company - you should not hesitate to use them.
Description of Work: Installation of new landscaping on all sides of our house with redesign of areas; modification to existing and installation of additional irrigation.

He was very prompt; his was the first quote in. He came when he said he would and he called and gave the quote very quickly.
Description of Work: I got a quote from Outdoor Expressions for landscaping.
This was the best experience I have ever had with a contractor! It started with landscape architect Allan Struletz, who really listened to what I needed, noticed what problem areas there were in the yard, then created the perfect landscaping plan. Juan did an absolutely stellar job with the actual installation! Juan and his team are highly skilled professionals and the hardest-working crew (I believe) on the face of this planet. Allan and Juan even added to the original plan in several areas where they thought attention was needed. The result is a stunningly beautiful (and functional) back yard. I'm still getting calls from neighbors who are as thrilled as I am with the results. Thank you, Outdoor Expressions, for such a fantastic job. I recommend their work without reservation and with the highest accolades.
Description of Work: Outdoor Expressions provided a detailed landscaping design for my back yard and then accomplished the installation of that design. Work included (1) hardscapes of stone steps up a hillside, and rosestone path in a problematic soggy area; (2) removal of old material and landscaping with a variety of drought-tolerant plants, and sod; and (3) correction and remediation of some drainage problems.

The first time my wife and I met with Andy Stewart, the project manager and a registered landscape architect we could immediately sense his integrity and professionalism and knew that we wanted Outdoor Expressions to handle our landscaping project. Andy said they were only interested in doing the job if we wanted them to fix our sink hole issue permanently and not settle for any stop gap measures. That's exactly what we wanted to hear. Andy designed a beautiful landscaping plan for our whole property down to the minute details and his crew executed the plan perfectly. We were so impressed with their attention to detail and dedication to doing the job right. The foreman, Ishmael carefully supervised the 3 other workers to ensure that everything was on track. Andy came by the job site each morning to inspect their work and provide any directions needed. It was a completely professional operation from start to finish. Our property has been transformed into a lush paradise and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. It's such a pleasure to work with a company and people that care deeply about delivering quality. I highly recommend contacting Outdoor Expressions and giving Andy Stewart and his crew the opportunity to transform your property as well. You'll be so glad you did.
Description of Work: Removed 3 Maple trees in the back yard and repaired an enormous sink hole; Graded the back yard and installed new sod; Designed and installed new landscaping throughout property; Installed drainage system which includes 2 drains in back yard and a French drain on side of house that carries water to the front curb

They had an Angie’s List deal. They were excellent. The price was great with the discount.
Description of Work: Outdoor Expressions just did the tune up for the sprinkler system.
The project went flawless. The crew was extremely professional and paid attention to every last detail. The owner was involved in helping me select the proper sod and plantings to ensure longevity to the investment. I would absolutely recommend Outdoor Expressions and plan to use them on future projects.
Description of Work: Outdoor Expressions helped me design a simple but beautiful backyard that would work with several hills that had been graded poorly previous to this project. The yard needed grading, clearing, sod & plants.
Outdoor expressions completed a major renovation on my backyard and front yard, and I couldn’t be happier with their work. The project included a new deck, new fence, landscaping (new grass, tree pruning, new trees, new plants), new irrigation system, and new outdoor lighting. I gave them a pretty tight deadline and they met it completing the majority of the work in three weeks. Andy Stewart was outstanding in designing and managing the effort. He listened to my requests and managed the process exceptionally making adjustments throughout the process. The crew was very professional and hardworking. I really can not say enough good things about the work they did and am thrilled with the results. From my experience, you cant go wrong with Andy and Outdoor Expressions.

Our project manager Andy was exceptionally responsive to all our questions and concerns. His crew took care of our yard and they fixed any issues that came up later and replaced dead greenery.
Description of Work: They talked with us and put together a beautiful landscaping plan. They did hardscape (ie. concrete stone work) as well as landscaping installation.
There was never a glitch in the whole process. I would never use another landscape company but their's. Their professionalism, honesty, and integrity is above board.
Description of Work: I cannot say enough great things about this company. They have worked for us for the past 10+ years. They completely redid our landscaping - hardscapes, design, installation, irrigation system. They built a beautiful arbor for our yard. They also maintain our property weekly.

Excellent! Andy and his crew were very professional. He spent about 80% of the time doing design, plant selection and measuring. So the install was flawless. We, the homeowner were encouraged to sit down and review all plants and pricing prior to work.
Description of Work: Installed a drainage system in the back yard because water was pooling at the foundation. Installed a back patio and landscaped its perimeter with holly, roses, etc.

We have used Outdoor Expressions several times over the last 5 years - each project as gone smooth without any glitches or unexpected problems. Their architect (Andy Stewart) is extremely professional, personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Outdoor Expressions has performed several landscaping/hardscaping jobs for us. They built rock walls, installed dry creek beds, constructed a shed, built a bridge and improved some issues with drainage. They also have designed beautiful plans that include specialty plants - mostly periennals - in several places in our yard. Their work is outstanding!!

Disappointed. Initial response was excellent - the company came out within 48 hours of the first inquiry. Upon viewing the property, the representative stated he needed to come back with a landscape architect, which he would do the following day or within a few days, and then submit a proposal. He didn't return. I called multiple times to follow up - each time I called (at weekly intervals) the receptionist stated she was unfamiliar with status and the principal would call us back that day. Weeks have passed with no response. I can't recommend this Company to Angie's List members.
Description of Work: Was requesting an estimate for structural yard redesign (including drainage, retaining walls, etc.). At initial inquiry I asked if this type of project/our location was within scope, and was informed that it was "exactly what we do."
