They listened to everything I wanted and were able to get a design that looks aesthetically pleasing, works wonderfully, and drains exactly as expected by using the materials I'd wanted to use based on a bunch of research. They worked diligently and afterwards it looked great and in going with the border strip has helped avoid needing to use a weed trimmer near the wall for easier lawn work. Would definitely hire again if I needed more landscaping/hardscaping.

This was a big project and it was completed seamlessly. My entire property got a huge facelift. The design of the landscaping truly makes a statement. Because of the design by Travis, this property defintetly makes a statement. It is exceptional, looks stunning and could be featured in Better Homes and Garden. I spent a lot of time with Travis and it was a pleasure interacting with him. It is rare that you find an individual who really cares about the quality of the work, and an individual that has integrity and good character. Travis is really talented, and the finished product speaks for itself.

We got to work with Travis P. on our project and he was more than helpful and responsive. They were able to get it done quickly and exactly how we wanted it. The retaining wall around our new raised deck looks great, and Travis was able to provide ideas to make it look how we envisioned it. We have worked with a lot of contractors and Design One was one of our better experiences. We will definitely be using them again if we have another project.

Design One was a great company to work with! Travis came out to assess the property and delivered a beautiful design. The team installed a patio, pavers along the driveway, prepped the yard and laid sod. They were very good about keeping the job site clean when they left at the end of the day. Travis was always responsive with our questions, and when we asked about making a change, was able to work it out even late into the installation process. We are so happy with the way everything came together - the yard and patio look fabulous!

Overall it went excellent. They did a great job and satisfied about all the work. When I had a small issue with one of the projects, they promptly without hesitation came out and made sure I was completely satisfied. This is when you know this is a great company to use and work with. They already do great work, but if you have an issue, how do they solve your issue? This Company will go the extra mile for you. That's how I measure a company. I will use them again and refer them out.

Our landscape project with Design One could't have gone any better from start to finish. Our landscape designer, Carol was professional and patient through our entire process. She knew just how to respect our ideas while guiding us in the right direction. The crew worked diligently and was able to finish the job in two days. They left the work site clean and the project turned out just as expected. We would definitely use Design One in the future for any of our landscaping needs.

Travis and his team were professional from our first contact through completion of the project. The project included removing brush, sodding and building a stone retaining wall. Travis helped me through the design and as a project manager was readily available to answer questions. The landscape team was amazing. They worked tirelessly to make sure the project was completed quickly. I highly recommend Design One.

Great! The team that came out was very professional and compassionate to our needs. The work they did was not only structurally sound, but beautiful. They taught us a lot about what it takes to build brick and mortar structures to last a life time. There was never a "hard sell", which we find very annoying with companies that come out for bids. They also did the work in a very short period of time without disrupting our current landscaping and even mulched our surrounding landscaping after which made the final look just perfect! The small issues we have had (we are very picky) have been quickly resolved. Customer service is excellent.

They arrived after I left for work and were completely finished and hauled away any waste before I returned at the end of the day. It was a work of art!

Exceeded my expectations. The finished product looked even better than the renderings! The quality of workmanship was excellent, Carol and the work crew were very attentive, responsive and great to work with. This is the second project I have worked with Carol on and this is why I went to Design One for the second project.

I would recommend this company for work to anyone. They are fair on price and deliver on what they promise. You truly feel like they value your business.

Company never responded or contacted me.
Description of Work: I sent inquiries twice through Angie's List about some landscaping work we want done and never got a response from this company. We wanted to inquire about having our retaining wall replaced with a better one. I find it to be poor customer service and unprofessional to not get any response at all.

My apology for the error. There was a time when we just could not get to all inquires but I certainly thought the few that we were not able to attend to were notified. Let us know if your needs have been met.

Design was unique. Work performed on time. Disappointed that we have weeds in the bed when the cedar mulch was supposed to come with preen to deter weeds. Whike the design was great their shrubs/trees were expensive.

Well we met with approximately 7 different companies that specialized with brick paver patio installation, which all prices ranged from a little higher and little lower than quoted. I must say though, immediately meeting Travis in person I had a sense of trust and responsiveness that we did not receive from other companies! I knew right away we were going to get the customer service we were striving for which lacked in so many other companies. I truly think making a big purchase like this, we felt a sense of comfort with this company and I would recommend them any day! Thanks you Design One and Travis for being there for the first big project in our home and giving us a patio we love!!

Purchased the premium mulch deal off of Angie's List. That was quality mulch and very please with it and the work crew cleaned up well. Unfortunately work was preformed while away on vacation. The weeds were not pulled even though charged for it and paver patio I was not completely impressed with, it was just an ok job. Because the job was so small, it was not worth their time to give me any call back to resolve the issues. Paid what I thought was fair for the job with a note explaining why and I have not heard from them since.

Response from Design One Landscape Services
We explain very clear on our proposals to customers that have EXTENSIVE weeds that even though we attempt to weed 100%, there will be break through weeds after the mulching. As in this property. We inform them up front that additional weeding may be needed in such cases that have been let go for so long. Payments are to be made upon completion. Several calls were made to collect and we were ignored for a month. Finally she called and said some of the sand on her pavers had washed out and she was having weed issues. We again referred her to the proposal about weeds after the fact. We went out within a week of the call and resanded the areas and again explained the weeding has to be done due to the condition of her extensive weeds from the on set of the job. After going out to resand we again made attempts to collect amount owed and was ignored. Finally, 5 months ( mid winter ) after the install she sent in less than owed and said she took care of the sand????? So we chose to just write off the balance owed and cancelled any future work for the customer. We only heard from her once and very efficiently responded to her concerns.

Initial conversation on the phone wasn't great. The rep that I got wasn't real interested, but I went forward regardless. The rep on the phone ended up getting the appointment wrong, so the person to quote the project showed up and no one was there. I explained the miscommunication and he came back out the next morning. Conversation went well while he was here and I was planning on moving forward. I received the quote from another person at Design One and had some general questions on the breakdown. The contact who forwarded the quote was great and she indicated that she had followed up a couple of times with the person who initially quoted the project. Regardless, it has been about a week and there hasn't been any follow up on my questions. I guess answering the questions and explaining the breakdown wasn't worth the trouble.
Description of Work: I had Design One quote a small landscaping project (less than $5,000). The work consisted of converting garden beds from mulch to rock and other misc items in the yard.
