Thank you very much [Member Name Removed]. Working with you and Member Name Removed] on this project was fun and a pleasure. The crew enjoyed all the warm drinks and snacks you provided them! It takes collaboration between client, design and installation to pull off a great project-and this one worked out very well. Leo and Raphael really did an amazing job. I am sure you (and the wildlife) will enjoy the garden as it continues to grow in and mature. Here’s to lots of warm cups of coffee on the patio! Brandon

I had a contract with this company to get my irrigation system going last spring. The person they sent ended up coming four times and messed it up every time. It took months to get my correct sprinkler heads. Customer service was rude and ineffective.

We started your system up on June 7. At that time, we replaced 1 head and 5 spray nozzles with water saving MP rotating nozzles to improve coverage with your old system for a cost of approximately $40. We had a no charge follow up visit from the same technician a couple days later to makes some additional adjustments. You later notified us that you preferred the original nozzles. A different tech returned to make those replacements in August, again at no charge. In October, we returned to winterize your system per the contract. I'm sorry to hear that you felt you had a bad experience with us. The newer water saving nozzles apply water differently that the older nozzles. Steve

We LOVE our new patio, retaining wall, and walkway. They are beautiful, solid, and so meticulously constructed! We couldn’t be more pleased with our designer, site supervisor, and the whole crew. They were so professional, courteous, and competent. They listened to our wishes, incorporated our ideas and preferences, and weren’t satisfied until every detail was perfectly executed. They showed up on time, worked hard, and took the time to answer questions and tweak the plan to accommodate the roots of a blueberry bush. Major thanks to Matt, Bryan, Sacramento, and the entire crew!! It was expensive but worth the money.

Frequent no shows. Insistence upon payment for services not rendered. Failure to listen re desired succession of blooms/colors in front bed. Long delays after contracted services. Raised bed filled with soil so hot (new compost) it was literally burning. When I mentioned this I was told I was "mistsken". Had to dig it out and replace it with aged soil to be able to plant in bed. Bed wood cracked and splintery. Workers themselves were very nice. I got the sense that they were over-extended. I highly suggest seeki g out a?more honorable and reliable company.

[Member Name Removed], Thank you for your comments. I'm really not sure how to help you out with your comments since the work you are referring to was four years ago. I recall some concerns with your expectations and our services not aligning well, but I don't feel that our quality and reliability is at or was at the level of your review. After doing this for many years, I understand that we are not a perfect match for everyone, but I always make a point trying to find a win/win solution. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss in greater detail if you wish. Steve Stewart - President
Excellent workers. All work was done quickly and area cleaned at the end of each day. Major redo of my front yard was just as I wanted it to look. Neighbors were impressed with the end results and were interested in consulting with the company about their yards.

Excellent! He was very informative and responsive.
Description of Work: They did landscaping and put a drip system.
Brandon did an excellent job of listening to what we were looking for. He came up with a design plan and estimate that met our goals. Rick and crew were very conscientious and thorough. They started on time and stayed on schedule throughout the job. The neighbors complemented how nice the crew was and the overall result. I was hesitant to pay a retainer up front but in the end it worked out very well. We also had them add on items that weren’t in our initial design. They have a good change order system. Overall we were very pleased with the job.

We emailed this company using their contact form, and then followed up with a call to make sure the maintenance sales manager got the request for a bid for landscape maintenance. The receptionist assured us that he did. However, he never called back. Based on the other reviews, this seems to be par for the course.

Work was performed efficiently and professionally. The crew were always well informed by the project manager. We were always informed of scheduling or needed modifications. Options were discussed with education about performance differences (esp electrical). Materials used were of good quality and there were options for change orders without extra charge (as it should be).
Description of Work: Patio cover, pavers, electrical, sprinklers.
We contacted Landscape East & West this summer when we discovered that we had persistent leaks from our yard into our basement. Bryan Backman came out and helped us figure out creative ways to redirect water away from the house, add an irrigation system, lay down new sod and change out some of the plantings in our front and backyard. Bryan was super hands on throughout the process and worked well to come up with solutions with our concrete guy and our contractor. His attention to detail and desire to help us make our home waterproof and our yard beautiful went above and beyond! I also highly recommend the project manager, Kirk, the foreman, Jose and his coworker, Isidro. Jose and Isidro were highly conscientious and committed to the job. Despite multiple days of deluge like rain, they were out there working away and getting the project done not just on time, but early, in fact. They also made a point of cleaning the yard and keeping the walkway open and usable at the end of each day. Having the whole team work on my yard was a real pleasure. They did a beautiful job and were very pleasant to my family and neighbors. I highly recommend Landscape East & West and look forward to seeing all the beautiful work as it blooms this spring and summer!
Description of Work: We need french drains installed, installation of an irrigation system, lighting installation, sod, plantings, and a rock wall built.

The initial bid looked great, but the design was not properly vetted. When the project manager arrived on the first day, we were told that they could not do the work as planned. We had the option of keeping the budget the same but vastly changing the design (we were uncomfortable with the choices offered at the initial budget level), or paying an additional $1,000 to $3,000 to keep closer to the original design based on modified plans and materials. We opted for the more expensive redesign. The work schedule (Tuesday through Friday only) was not communicated to us, and we were not informed of changes to that schedule where the crew was being redirected to complete other projects due to the weather. Poor planning and communication continued throughout the project, and six days after completion, we still have a port-a-potty in front of our house despite multiple requests to the designer and PM to have it removed. The finished project looks good, but I would not use this company again due to the lack of professional communication and planning that I would expect for over $20,000.00.
Description of Work: We hired Landscape East and West to design and implement a backyard landscaping project that included a stone paver patio, planter box, and some stepping stones in a gravel area.

[Member Name Removed], First let me apologize for the experience you had with us on this project. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. While I'm glad the finish quality was good, I too am disappointed in our overall performance on your project. I can't argue with your review, in fact, it's very fair. That said, this isn't how we expect our projects to go and we're going to strive to improve our performance moving forward. We are going to focus on improving communication, not only with your crew, but with the entire installation department. Additionally, steps have been taken to ensure that the design mistake that occurred on your project will not happen again. I hope that you're able to enjoy your new back patio space and, again, I apologize for the difficulty in completing it. If you would like to discuss this further, feel free to give me a call. 503.849.9607. Take care, Bjorn Nordquist Sales Manager, Landscape East & West

I shouldn't need to contact a contractor multiple times to remind them I want to give them my business.
Description of Work: I requested a quote for a retaining wall and a paved area (cement). Estimator came out within 2 weeks and said he would get back to me in a couple weeks. Multiple e-mails later, I was contacted by another estimator who indicated that he had been passed the job since it was a 'small job.' I was left with the impression that my job wasn't worth their time. The new estimator came out and looked at the job and said it would be more than previously discussed, initially about $6000, to closer to $8000 and the new estimator had not included the paving. The new estimator said he would get back to me in a week and there has been no response. To be fair, I have not contacted them again since they seem to not want my business.

They fixed my fountain, correcting a poor installation of a repaired portion of the piping. They adjusted several sprinklers and added dippers to an irrigation system. later in the season they replaced the actual pump for the fountain. I now have a water maintenance contract with them to provide service twice yearly.

Fabulous experience! We can't say enough great things about working with Lee Glasscock and the entire team at Landscape East & West (Kirk, Miles, Herberth, Ricardo & Antionio). They designed our new patio / outdoor living area, completed the project (a look of perfection) and prepped our front yard for phase two (2) of the project (new landscape design). We are also working with them to have a new fence installed too. They have always been responsive to our calls and have definitely performed above our expectations. If your looking to work with a landscaper that takes pride in their work and creates a thing of beauty, Landscape East & West should be your choice.

They are fine. There’s nothing wrong with them but they want a contract for a year to do the back flow testing and start up your sprinkling system and we’re not using them because of that. They are really busy so you have to book way ahead of time and the other thing was, we did have problems with our sprinkler system being setup by them where it didn’t work quite right and it was really our fault because we called them once and told them about it and we never insisted that they’ll come out and fix it so it wasn’t really their fault but it wasn’t setup right, our sprinkler system. It wasn’t like they were unresponsive, it’s like we didn’t pursue it. I think their price was getting high.
