I have used this service 3-4 times this season to give me advice and show me how to take care of my new landscaping, prune trees and shrubs, and they will help me do garden cleanup later this season. Very personable staff, very efficient and knowledgeable. Their advice has really helped me with my garden. I would recommend very highly!

My husband met Jason at The Home and Garden Show. He was impressed with his work and how personable he was and we loved the pictures on Field Outdoor Spaces' website. Because we were slow to make our decision about committing to our project it became a slow process to proceed from initial meeting to full yard landscape plan to implementation of the first phase but it was worth it! We so appreciated Jason’s relaxed, laid-back style in combination with his detailed knowledge of plants and his artistic-creative sense of how best to make our landscape plan work- coordinating all the elements of our vision, together with his great ideas and input regarding what made sense in terms of plant types, sizes, care needs, etc. We also can’t say enough about every member of the crew that was working here to install our trees, mulch and boulders. Everyone was so pleasant, helpful and patient with answering our questions. They worked hard and paid attention to detail. It was really a pleasure to have them here. We can't wait to begin the next phase in the spring!
Description of Work: The first phase a large landscaping project. 6 trees were planted, boulders and mulch placed

Over the course of four months, I engaged them for services three separate times. Each time, there was an excuse as to what they would not be able to do for me. Most recently, I contacted them about some of their fall clean up services that they previously offered to me. Emails took three days to be responded to. I was quoted a price and then told that I would be contacted in a week once the schedule gets processed. When I was contacted, I was told that there was no room in their schedule to be able to perform the work they offered. I asked for an explanation in both an email and a voicemail and never received any response.

Everyone involved, both the Field crew and the subcontractors -- Harold Pietag and Sons Concrete, Kelly Green Irrigation, and Dakota Fence -- were professional, hard working, and friendly. Field did a good job of incorporating many of our preexisting perennials (and pavers) into the design along with new perennials, shrubs and small trees. We now have a lovely new backyard to enjoy, and would definitely use Field again for future projects.
Description of Work: We hired Field for an almost complete redo of our backyard this spring. Jason had come up with a lovely design which reimagined our space. We now have a new round patio, curved sidewalk, vegetable and perennial beds, and fence.

Contacted Field via their website contact form after being impressed with them at the Minneapolis home show. Apparently my e-mail was placed in a and quot;SPAMand quot; file, so the owner, Jason, profusely apologized, via e-mail, for the delay in responding to my inquiry for a landscaping consultation. After I responded with potential dates for the consultation, it was radio silence with no communication. Unfortunately, this is the second time I have had this type of experience with landscapers with seemingly great artistic design skills with less than acceptable business skills, such as follow-through.

The job went extremely well. Field Outdoor Spaces arrived on the work date as arranged. They said the job would take a day and it was completed exactly as they predicted by 5pm. The sidewalk was covered to minimize dirt and wear from the machinery, and care was taken when the digging was done over the utilities area. The curious children that sat on a retaining wall to watch (there was a small audience from the nearby day care) were all well received. The FOS guys were really good with the kids. If the kids or I asked questions, we were given thorough explanations (kids can ask really good questions too). Everything went smoothly. I asked for removed plants to be set aside so I could transplant them in the backyard. No problem with that request and I was given helpful advise about transplanting and dividing them. When the guys were preparing to leave, the sidewalk and street were all cleaned up. No mess. They threw grass seed where part of the existing lawn needed it. I received many compliments from the neighbors about my new front yard and have been very happy with it.
Description of Work: Field Outdoor Spaces provided me with a design plan last fall to landscape my front yard. This plan included a rain garden, tear out of existing lawn and new native plantings. Jason provided a plan, a complete listing and description with photos of plants that would be used. The estimate was very detailed. When I asked for "No mugo pine", FOS found another plant that I really like. This spring I signed the contract . A date was coordinated for the work to take place. My project was small enough to be completed in one day. FOS was very communicative and answered all of my questions. I was also provided with a care list for the new plantings before the work was done so I knew what I needed to do for my new garden. FOS transformed my front yard in a day. :) It's has been a month since the job was completed. Every day I enjoy seeing what plants have flowered and I appreciate the selection of plants (Thanks Jason!) They also went beyond the expected and hauled away some yard trimmings that weren't from the front yard work. They also added mulch to a small boulevard flower bed that I hadn't gotten around to yet. FOS told me that if I had any questions about my new plantings, to contact them (good to know when you don't have a green thumb like me).

Jason came out and was great- spent over an hour understanding my wants and needs. Estimate was in my inbox the next day, along with the and quot;diagramand quot; of new layout (he was the only provided that submitted a drawing). Sadly when I called to tell him I wanted to go ahead, they were booked out almost two months. Because I have a timeline, I needed to go with another firm. I liked Jason's ideas so when the time goes to do the front and side yard, I will definitely contact them again.

They were very good in helping with the design. They did a good job installing the stone work. I did have to have something corrected but they were very cooperative in correcting it. They brought down the price from the initial estimate, it was too high.

With spring weather turning warm early, my thoughts went towards finally taking on a backyard vision I had since buying the home four years ago. This was the year, compared many company's sites and favored Field over the others. Met with Jason to discuss my ideas to try and cram in as many things as I could into a tiny backyard. Jason came back with the plans incorporating my general ideas. Those ideas were a fire pit, patio around that, paver path from home to driveway connecting the fire pit, picket fence to keep my young daughter in the yard, a space for growing veggies, enough spaces for me to garden in, and something to deal with an inconvenient elevation change next to the driveway. Loved the plan. The crew was dealt setbacks from some excessive rain that pushed completion a whole week, but this was utterly understandable. I changed my desires for the fence which also added some more work and cost, Field rolled with this well and kept me in the loop on how this was impacting them. Not to be unmentioned, the rain events did add to the cost per the contract, which Field split 50/50. Ann was my contact at Field once the date for work was scheduled until the very end, she was very responsive. I've since built the square foot garden space I wanted for vegetables, and mulched the new garden spaces and started planting new ideas.
Description of Work: Since we bought our house I had a vision for my backyard that had a fire pit. Four years later I had an opportunity. I had a rough vision for my small backyard and lots of things I wanted to cram in. I consulted with Jason at first and he offered to draw up plans, for a fee. I didn't need to bring in any new plants, I mostly needed a new paver path, fire pit, paver patio, a space for me to grow veggies, picket fence, and something to deal with a slight inconvenient elevation change along the driveway. The crew was dealt setbacks from excess rain which sent the finish date a full week late, but this was completely understandable. I also changed my mind of the scope of the fence which added more work and cost. Included in all this was removing the old worn lawn and installing new sod on leveled ground.

I met with the landscaper and did a walk through (no charge) and discussed ideas and visions of what we could do to our yard. After we decided to use Field, I requested a full-yard plan ($400) to be drafted. We just got our plans and I love them! Can't wait to start implementing the design. We can't afford to do it all at once, so will be doing it in stages. They are very accommodating, and offered a lot of different ways that we could use the plans to improve our yard.
Description of Work: So far, have just gotten our plans, but are now in the process of estimating portions of the plan we can do this summer.

Love this company! Our yard was pretty beat up and we needed help getting it to "curb appeal" condition before putting it on the market for sale. They came out and talked with me about what I needed and then followed up promptly with their estimate. After giving them the go-ahead, they got the work done quickly. They did an excellent job!! Highly recommend.

Field's style is local/native plants which complements our goals quite well. Jason reviewed our goals and budget. He came up with a plan for our entire front yard. When that was beyond our budget he worked with us to scale it back. In the end we did the work in phases over a couple of years. They have been great about changing the plan based on our preferences. They emailed us detailed plans in pdf format including pricing for each plant and were happy to work with us to modify as necessary. There were no suprise charges. Work was timely and they cleaned up after themselves. The yard looks great.
Description of Work: Field initially did landscaping for us about 2 years ago. We liked them so much we hired them to do the maintenance work on our garden and then again this last Fall to do more landscaping.

The initial work on installation of the gardens went very well. Field performed the work when scheduled and completed it in a timely manner. When I had some damage to trees over the winter, I was able to work with them to get replacement trees for a reasonable cost. They have continued to provide me with suggestions on how to maintain the garden and some recommendations for improvements.
Description of Work: Field Outdoor Spaces did an excellent job of providing me with a great plan for gardens in the front of my house. Included in the plan was a rain garden for the side of the house; an innovation that I had not thought of. I have continued to use Field Outdoor Spaces for seasonal maintenance and have been very pleased with their responsiveness, suggestions, and quality of work.

Last spring, I was excited to find Field Outdoor Spaces for my project. Over the course of the project, it became clear that Field's communication was poor, they forgot earlier project discussions, they didn't understand their client, and they neglected details making closing the project out difficult. (See detailed examples below.) For this project, I had a clear sense of what I wanted so I interviewed three contractors. Jason seemed to grasp my need to balance goals of 1) a space for people 2) using permaculture principles, and 3) incorporating stormwater management if possible. I was excited to sign the $500 design contract. The design process included an assessment meeting, a design, a review meeting, and a revision. The plan was to include a detailed planting plan, a drainage plan, a space plan and an implementation bid. The planting would be developed with permaculture-expert Harvest Moon Backyard Farmers. If design went well, I'd hire Field to implement Phase I - my limited $7,000-$10,000 budget (including design and tree removal) could not it all. I shared my budget to avoid misunderstandings about my 2011 project scope. Design began in late May. I was surprised when Field provided multiple revisions beyond the one in the contract. I liked the first plan, but had minor concerns. However, it is the contractor's job to manage time, to manage client expectations, and to lead the client through the process; it is the client's job to clearly express their expectations up front and during the process. Therefore, when they came with updates, I had no objections. At points through the process, Field provided more than I expected/wanted (for example, major design revisions when I had approved a prior plan) or less than I expected (for example, no or very delayed response to communications or no direction on next steps). One issue during design was determining whether storm water management made sense, as the decision would be a function of earning storm water credits from the City. Through several conversations, Field struggled to provide me with inputs for the financial analysis (the cost of installation and the portion of water managed onsite.) Eventually, based on a rough cost from them and my own guess at what could be managed and what credit the city might award, as well as the design purpose of the garden, I included it. I never received calculations adequate for the application from Field and had to measure impervious surfaces on my lot on my own. The final design did not include detailed planting plans, but I liked the use of space and general plan. The Phase I bid came in at $14,500 - and I'd already spent $1750. I responded noting that it was far beyond what I could afford (this year); Field's reply came very slowly. However, they pushed hard to get my business, offering to use the difficult site access through the alley at no cost. (I would not have expected this at no cost.) The final Phase I bid was $6,500. Strategies to get this down included me doing planting/mulching, providing plants, building my own raised beds, and building one set of stone walls. Dollar costs for this will total over $1000, plus many days of labor. Several details we'd discussed (stormwater credit calculations to submit to the city, staging) needed annotations in the contract. After the design phase, other problems emerged as the on-site work unfolded: Poor communication/implementation - Despite the complex staging and contract language, Jason did not follow-through and do a staging walk-through with me. The project was predicted to take three days, it took 8. It was so difficult to get final details completed, I had to refuse to pay until they were done, including negotiating that some things wouldn't be done in exchange for credit against the invoice. Poor communication - The on-site crew was great, but they were not able to answer as-yet unanswered questions; they directed me to Jason, who did not respond. If an e-mail included three questions, he would answer one and the other two were not acknowledged. For example, when I had a list of questions around wrapping up the project, it took six explicit requests for answers before most of them were answered (some were never answered). Poor communication - The staging required cutting through a recently established native flower garden included in Phase II. It also required driving a Ditch Witch around the house over compacted grass. Field took great care to let me know that my yard might be harmed - no problem. However, they did not communicate with me about the damage to the native garden, and while I would have been OK with some damage, it was significant and also created drainage and washout issues. Poor follow-through - With the stormwater design, water from the house (30 feet away) was directed to the rain garden through underground pipes. However, the water from the garage (three feet away) was not. The gutter was left in place, directing water around the garage into the alley. At multiple points, I asked both the designer and the on-site crew about the plan for the gutter and was directed back to the designer. He did not respond to my inquiries. Once the crew had left, the gutter remained in place. This remained unaddressed even as I received the final invoice. Someone did eventually return and redirect it into the rain garden - but using an unsightly length of downspout pipe across the top of the soil. Not only is it ugly, it is likely to result in washed out areas in the rain garden unless I address it further. Unprofessional behavior - As part of the cost-saving efforts, I organized a volunteer crew of friends to do plantings for a Saturday or Sunday. Wanting to respect Field's work schedules and availability, I confirmed the timing was OK with Field prior to planning, as Field wanted to place the plants (to be taken from established plants elsewhere on my lot). Field arrived about an hour later than planned and didn't check in how much of the plants from the established gardens could be harvested. I was horrified after the plants had been placed to see that nearly all the plants from the recently established native garden (Phase II) had been removed, and many of those remaining were dug up and lying uprooted on the ground. This garden will need to be largely replanted and reestablished. Unprofessional behavior - The planting plan was never provided for final approval, and the recommendations on draft plans did not make sense based on my own experience with the named plants. After repeated inquiries, I Field told me they were NOT working with Harvest Moon Backyard Farmers as had been implied. I felt the only way I could be comfortable with the planting plan was to hire them independently to consult on the planting plan. They confirmed that some of the recommended plants were inappropriate. Missing details - they installed an underground pipe to provide close-by watering access. I prefer easy maintenance and durability, and was concerned about how to clear the pipe of water in the winter. They did not tell me the set-up was an experiment, never before tried. They put it in before answering my question about winter - and then told me I needed an air compressor to empty it of water every fall. Finally, after it was installed and activated as intended, I discovered that the elbows in the pipes had leaks, so using it resulted in constantly wasted water. Missing details - Field removed landscaping pavers elsewhere in the yard in order to get equipment in and out, and never replaced them. Missing details - the new stormwater system required alternative downspout extensions, which were installed but not attached to the end of the vertical downspout sections. Unprofessional behavior: I noted that I had some concerns about how the project was going, and would be happy to discuss them in order to resolve them. That offer/request was ignored. Unprofessional behavior: I received a final invoice prior to work being completed. I responded with a letter including specific items that needed to be completed, a good-faith payment of $1000, and a note that I looked forward to working with Field to resolve the remaining work items. Field's response was a lengthy e-mail that blamed me for their poor project management and communication. In summary - if you have a project for which you have no specific goals and are comfortable with embracing a designer's vision - and an unlimited budget - I think Field might be a good fit. If you have something specific you want and limited funds, I suggest looking elsewhere.
Description of Work: Design of a multi-phase landscape plan and installation of most of phase I. This included stormwater management (rain garden) design and installation, removal of asphalt and some gravel, stormwater capture from the house and installing drain pipe to the rain garden, excavation, building a rock wall, building rain garden, delivery of topsoil, rocks, mulch, and plant placement. In an attempt to manage costs, I purchased all plants, completed all planting and mulching, building raised bed gardens myself, and built some rock walls. I also spent $1250 on tree removal prior to the project. I spent an additional $850 on plants - and have more to purchase and install in the spring, as well as materials for half a dozen raised beds.

The member and I have exchanged many communications about her dis-satisfactions. This was a project that we were both really excited about when we first met. Even though I am proud of both the design and the installation we completed and know she received a tremendous value for what she paid for - I do take her comments to heart. In particular, I agree that I was not punctual in returning her designs and I think that really infuriated her. This is something I value as a designer and sales person and value in others, and is something she has every right to be dissatisfied with. I know that she feels I wasn't cognizant of her budget and failed her objectives, which for me is the ultimate challenge of being a designer - finding a design that matches the clients objectives and budget. I don't see a smaller budget as necessarily a bad thing - on the contrary, sometimes this constraint makes for the most interesting designs. For some reason, I felt that evertime I tried to right-size the project to her budget, she would hold onto or add new objectives that would then bring the budget back up and then she would be upset that the budget was more than she wanted. This is a very disappointing review. We have gone over the history of this project as a company several times and brain stormed why we ended up where we ended up with the member. We are going to redouble our efforts at clear communication, expectation setting, and punctuality. I hope that is the silver-lining in an otherwise dark-cloud.

We don't remember how much we spent on their services. They were prompt and thorough. If they had any issues that came up, they let us know right away. They stayed within budget and they were very professional. They checked with us afterwards and made sure things were good. They were just very easy to work with. We will definitely use their services again in the future and we have recommended them to other people.

I found Field on Angie's list. I had a few different companies come out to give me bids. I was very impressed with Jason Rathe and his "can do" attitude. Plus he is a very nice guy and fun to work with. I had been planning this project for a couple of years and knew pretty well what I wanted. After a couple of in-person visits, phone conversations, Jason sending me to look at a few properties, and me sending him to check out a couple of places, it was clear Jason understood what I wanted. I really appreciated his patience and willingness to adjust his design for me. He was great at coming up with suggestions that complimented my ideas. He was also very professional in letting me know if my ideas would not work, and why. I have a friend with tons of wonderful and unique hosta plants he was willing to give me. Jason actually went over and dug them up and planted them for me. My friend is a little fussy about his yard. But Jason left it looking untouched. He transplanted several things in my yard too. His knowledge of plants and his creative eye were very impressive. He always responded to my phone calls in a timely fashion. I was very impressed with all the employees who came to work. All were friendly, very hard working and very respectful of my property. Every night when they finished they swept the steps and left everything very neat. Jason checked in regularly overseeing and helping. His partner Shannon O'Halloran was also here a lot of the time. She was great. I am absolutely thrilled with the finished product. Jason saw my vision and surprised me with some great enhancements. With all the changes I kept throwing at Jason I didn't make clear that I wanted spring bulbs put in. I missed that they weren't on the design plan. So he is going to let me know what that will cost and we will be doing that this fall. I look forward to having Field people in my yard again.This is a very good company and it is obvious that they all like their jobs and each other.
Description of Work: We had 80% of our front yard landscaped. We have a rather steep hill. They removed the turf, built a wall, put in about 12 boulders, put in a step stone path, brought in black dirt, planted about 150 plants, and mulched it all.

Thank you. It is rewarding to hear when you can help someone fulfill their vision. That is definitely what makes me excited to start each project.

The job went really well. Jason was quick to return phone calls and make appointments to speak with me. He started on time and was very helpful in letting us pick out our own boulders. When we had a problem with the placement of some of the trees, he was very agreeable and re-planted them in the locations we had agreed upon. The workers were very pleasant and easy to have around.
Description of Work: We hired them to put in a front walkway and re-landscape the front yard and the side yard. They used boulders, trees, shrubs and plants.

Thanks for the nice comments. The boulders were a key aspect to the project. The clients wanted to make sure there was plenty of negative space between plants. It was fun to pick out boulders with the client. This will be a fantastic front landscape when it matures.

Again, weed removal isn't their core business. But I was very impressed with the care that was taken in the application of potentially dangerous chemicals. Each time an application was made, a confirmation note was left and I knew exactly what had been done. I really appreciated the care and pride taken in a job that was very important to me. More importantly, I was impressed with the environmentally sensitive and sensible approach that Shannon took to my landscaping redesign. When I am resettled back in the Twin Cities, I will definitely revisit the plan and implement some version of it. I have recommended them to several people in the neighborhood already.
Description of Work: Field provided me with a "yard rescue" after thistle had completely overtaken my yard. They sprayed weedkiller over a period of approximately 8-10 weeks and removed all the deadened weeds. Although it's not their core business necessarily, it was absolutely necessary before I could possibly contemplate any redesign of my landscaping. Shannon did provide a landscaping design but I didn't ultimately move ahead with the work because I have been working in a different city for the last six months.

We take very seriously the potential use of chemicals. We walk through the pros and cons with clients. There are some situations where it is really the only solution and when that is the case we try to do it with the utmost care. Glad to hear that our "leave behind" notes were appreciated.

Shannon, Jason and their crew are great to work with. Shannon did a plan for us last year, incorporating our ideas into a plan that made our backyard into an extension of our home, rather than just an outdoor space. We waited about nine months to implement the plan, and when it came time to make it happen, the crew was amazing. They worked hard, left not a trace behind (even my neighbor whose driveway they had to use was complimentary!), and implemented a spectacular design. We love our new outdoor living area. It's inviting and beautifully done. We have used Field before and will continue to recommend them to friends and neighbors. Thanks, Field!
Description of Work: Installed a bluestone patio and granite steppers, built an amazing pergola, landscaped our backyard and installed front yard foundation plantings and sod.

Thanks for the kind remarks. It is nice to hear that our design was appreciated, but always, I think even better to hear get confirmation that our crew was hard-working and cleaned up. This is something we work very hard on.

As above, great experience, they started when they said they would and finished in a week. Recommend calling instead of emailing.
Description of Work: Relandscaped the back yard by removing all existing plantings, designed rock garden and then replanted larger trues, shrubs and smaller plants. It looks amazing. I was fortunate to have one of those perfect weeks in April for the plantings, then it rained and now things are starting to bloom. Incredible crew from Jason, who I started working with last fall to the staff. Very professional, prompt, clean, courteous and everything went right according to schedule. I couldn't be happier.

Really fun project. A little Asian-inspired rock garden in a small, urban backyard. Thanks for the kind remarks.
