Aspen has been in business since 1997. We help clients who are frustrated because they want a nice outdoor living environment but can't envision it or they have tried to do landscaping themselves but did not get the results they were after. Typically our clients have used another company in the past to find out after spending thousands of dollars that the company was not a good fit. Other clients use us because they want a well-maintained yard but either don't have the time or the desire to do the maintenance themselves. Does any of this sound familiar? If so, please feel free to contact us for a short conversation on how we might be able to help.
For me it?s just nice to work with people who understand what we want. They told us the big picture of the work and told us how to do this. They explained everything in a step wise process. They were very good about presenting to us what they thought was best and gave us good options on different types of plans. It was a very pleasant experience working with them. They are very organized and listen well too. They give a one year guarantee on all the plants they give. I rate them high overall.
Description of Work: I used Aspen Outdoor Designs Inc this month. We first used Aspen two years ago when a friend referred them to us. We contacted them because we wanted to come up with a five year plan for our yard. They wanted to do a lot of things, but we could not do all of it at once. We worked with them and they created a five step plan for us. The first step was done in the end of 2009 and now they have done step two. They are doing outdoor planning for us. This time they planted a lot of new plants, bushes, and trees. There was a lot of landscaping done. They helped us design what plants to use.

Aspen Outdoor Designs Inc. has done a lot of landscaping for us in the past and we like the way they do things. They have done great work with the stone work around my yard in the past and do a great job with the landscaping. They also installed outdoor lighting and snow plow my driveway in the winter.

They charged us about $2000 for the last job and it was fine. They did the original design and I like them. It is fine and they are pretty responsive. They are pretty creative about their work and how they do it. They also repaired our outdoor porch, which was okay. They are easy to work with. Their price wasn?t inexpensive, but was fair. It?s hard for me to compare since I didn?t get a lot of quotes, but it seemed reasonable. I recommended them to my neighbor and they were pleased with them too. Their quality was fine. They came back and did whatever they didn?t get right.
Description of Work: We have used the services of Aspen Outdoor Designs Inc. off and on for 10 years. They did the original landscaping. We had some work done last summer too and one other time. They did our stairway and also reset the pavers that they had originally put in.

I was happy with the designs they made; however, I am not that happy with their performance. They dint do the job as I thought they should have. They did not respond to the problems that were there. Many plants died.

The design that Aspen presented was just what we wanted but was still innovative and much different than the run of the mill designs that we received from other companies. Although their pricing was a little high, the quality of the work that was done, the friendliness of the workers and the competency of the design and sales effort more than made up for the slightly higher pricing. Recognizing that weather has a major impact on their scheduling, we were kept informed of rain delays to the start of the work. Once on-site the crew was extremely professional and had a work ethic that was very impressive. The crew cleaned up our yard completely at the end of each day of work. I made a few minor changes to the design while the crew was on-site...and, after receiving authorization, they completed the changes without any complaints or hesitation. With the heavy rains we experienced after the work was completed, some of the re-seeding was washed away. Also, the design itself was completed in early spring and in some areas our existing trees provided more shade than expected. Aspen returned and re-seeded the washed away areas, transplanted some plants that needed additional sun and planted new shade plants in the area under our trees. There was no charge for this work. These are very easy people to work with and provided a very high quality product.
Description of Work: Aspen provided a design for replacement of our existing landscaping in the front yard. Unlike every other design we obtained, Aspen listened to what we wanted and provided a design that was innovative but yet still conformed to our wants. They removed all existing landscape materials and plants, transplanted some items, rerouted downspouts, provided new beds and plantings and installed a flagstone walk connecting our front and back yard.

This has been a good project so far. The landscaping design was exactly what we had pictured/wanted from a hardscape perspective and even had a wonderful surprise in the shape of a water feature in the backyard. The plantings were not quite what we were looking for, but Jeff was very very agreeable to any modifications or to the idea of having them work on the hardscape with us filling in the plantings on our own later. Having his designers create the plan was well worth the money!! For the two projects we worked on first - the crews were great to work with. They were on time and worked quietly and cleanly. They did not leave a mess. They did what we would consider a lot of hard work in a surprisingly short amount of time - excavating and buildling a stone retaining wall and 2 stone gardens in 3 days. When the project was completed and we noted that one stone was not cemented in, Jeff came out personally, within the week, to fix it for us.
Description of Work: Two projects were completed: a play area was excavated, leveled, and wood chips placed - a small retaining wall was built at the south edge of the play area once the area was leveled; the second project was buliding a garden on one side of the house. Two semi-circular stone walls were built to contain the gardens.

Estimate called for two removals @ $270/ea. Called several times. Neighbors complained about leaves. First showed up 11/9/05. Leaves were all down, wet from rain & snow. Week before everything was dry & would have been quick job. Charged 75% more than single removal. Dropped $72.50 when complained. Still 48% more than single removal estimate.
