Nothing was done.
Description of Work: I called and left a message at the office number. I got a call back saying that they are not taking on any new customers. That should be updated in Angie's List so that people don't waste their time calling these people.

In the landscape business, it can be very seasonal and there are times (e.g. Spring or Fall) where we get an influx of calls/work and feel we can't take additional clients (temporarily) as to take better care of existing clients or new clients that are on the books already. It's unfortunate she gave us an F for letting her know we weren't taking new clients at the time she called. Angie's List members please know that no work was done for this client.

Description of Work: Rich walked around our property with my wife, discussing landscaping issues and offering suggestions. He did not try to sell anything, just offered suggestions and advise. My wife was very pleased. The main issue was a collapsed drain line that carried gutter water and surface drain runoff away from the house to the foot of the property. Nearly the entire length of the drain line was under the driveway, so it had to be abandoned and a new drain solution developed. Rich worked with me to arrive at a solution that was do-able, expedient and forever maintainable (not under the driveway). They did it all in a day and were able to squeeze the job in weeks earlier than he originally estimated. Couldn't be happier.

Description of Work: Backyard Creations completed work on our retaining walls. They worked hard, consistently and were very flexible in taking down our single, railroad crosstie retaining wall and making it into two retaining walls (two-tiered). The walls are well done and enhanced our value of our home . We would recommend Backyard Creations for anyone with this type of work. The cost was reasonable and they were able to complete the work even when the weather was not so cooperative.

Overall, it went great and I would use "Backyard Creations" again, ad well as recommend them to friends.
Description of Work: Mr. Collins was at my neighbors as I was leaving. Our houses are zero lot line homes with gardens along one side. My garden area had been landscaped several years ago, but had not been maintained for over a year and was horribly over grown and had become a burden driven by health. I stopped and asked Mr. Collins if he would provide a quote to clean the area, trim the overgrown trees, growing vines and general cleaning. He said he could write the quote then, and if we agreed on price, do the job. We agreed and I left. When I arrived home my garden area was beyond belief. Mr. Collins and his crew had done almost the impossible job. Where one could hardly walk through to get to the gate, the total area was pristine clean. The four trees were appropriately trimmed up, all of the flower pots were clean, the area clean and all within the negotiated time per hourly rate we agreed!

We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service that we received from Creative Boundaries. From the very beginning, Mark Hicks was responsive and delivered on every commitment and promise. His ideas were very helpful in steering us to the optimum choices. We initially were interested in repairing/replacing our front stone border along the landscaping beds. Mark gave us alternative suggestions and we instead decided on a flagstone patio and some trees planted in the backyard. Because we work during the day, Mark came by the house in the evening and helped us decide on the work to be done. Mark continued to be very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Mark was present on the first day when the workers arrived and stopped by periodically to check on things.
Description of Work: The work that was done is as follows: * Flagstone patio and walkway to the gate at the driveway. Our initial concrete patio was first extended and then the flagstone was laid on top of the concrete. The finished work is beautiful and has not experienced any issues. * Three trees were planted * The front stone wall, which was falling apart, was removed and the landscaping was cleaned up with a "V-cut" between the lawn and the landscape beds

Always great quality and attention to detail. I have used Backyard Creations for many projects for the past 2-3 years. Rich oversees the work so his expertise is present in what is done and where. He is available on the phone to discuss issues and what needs to be done. He also knows quality contractors for other services like patio/concrete work, etc. which we used to complete our backyard. They come when they say and are professional in every aspect. Would recommend Backyard Creations to anyone.
Description of Work: Winter lawn cleanup, leaf pickup, mulch/weed out beds, trim bushes/trees where needed, fertilization/weed control yearly program, landscape design
All the projects I've had performed by Backyard Creations have gone very smoothly. They are very professional and come prepared. The team arrives when scheduled, or they call should an issue arise. They work quickly and always clean up after. They don't cut corners like many companies do. As an example, I've had my backyard re-sodded almost every year since I've been here (it's a sun issue). Prior to using BY Creations, the other landscaper would just lay the new sod on top of the old and call it done. As you can imagine, over the years, my backyard became and uneven mess. When I first hired BY Creations, without any prompting from me, the team came in, dug up the old grass, leveled everything and the planted the new sod. My yard looked better than it had in years. No matter how big or small they treat all their jobs this way.
Description of Work: Backyard Creations has performed many jobs for me over the last couple years. They have totally re-done the landscaping around my house and created a beautiful inviting environment. I had them create a path for me from the sidewalk to the back gate, it's made up of granite gravel and flagstone and it's just beautiful. It's easy to walk on and is not impacted by the lawn mowers going over it to get to the backyard. Last year I had them install path lights in my flower beds out back. Rich knew just where to place the lights and what type of light would work best where (uplighting vs. path lights). I was so thrilled with the outcome I recently had him install pathlights for me out in front as well. I have been totally satisfied with all the work Backyard Creations has performed. I would highly recommend them.

He took out a lot of flowers and replanted other ones for us. He redid the entire front yard and it looks great! His personality is very pleasant. He is very efficient and does things in a minimal amount of time and always shows up when he says he will. I give him my budget, and he comes up with something that I can afford. He is just very nice. He is interested in you as a person and what you want done, and how he can best take care of that for you. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: He has done work for us for quite some time. The most recent time was in November and he planted some flowers for us in the shrub beds.

For the past 4 years I have had very bad experiences with landscapers. Usually, they did not seem to be knowledgeable about plants and trees nor the best way to care for them. They rarely weeded our flower gardens unless asked and killed a few young trees with their weed whackers. I very early on realized I needed a 'gardener', someone who would really take care of my yard. We live across the street from a park and I wanted our yard to appear as an extension of that lovely park. We just could not find anyone who was capable and honest. Then one day, I found Backyard Creations Landscaping Co.The owner is a horticulturist (A Gardener!). He knew more about plants and trees than I can think about. He knew what worked best in our Texas soil and heat and how to put it all together. He had his landscape designer create a drawing of how the backyard would look and how to carry that look around to the side of the home. He talked me through different flowers/plants and which ones would give the look and feel I wanted. He gave me a very complete price upfront with no hidden fees. I was very excited.I became ecstatic when his team came out. They rerouted my sprinkler system to better service the new flower beds that they then put in. They put in a walking path through the flowerbeds and trees. They expanded the patio to flow with the curves of the flowerbeds and I have requested that they stain the concrete of the patio to enhance it even more. What I really love about this Gardener and his team is that now that the creation is done, they will maintain it regularly for us. THAT is what I was looking for. I am content. ;-)
Description of Work: Based on the information I gave as to what I wanted Backyard Creations Landscaping Company had their landscape designer create a color rendering of what our backyard would look like and how they would carry that look around to the side of the home. The Horticulturist talked me through different types of flowers and plants and which ones would give the look and feel I wanted. He gave me a very complete price upfront with no hidden fees. I was very excited. They rerouted our underground sprinkler system to better service the new flower beds and plants that they then put in. They put in a walking path through the flowerbeds and trees. They expanded the patio to flow with the curves of the flowerbeds and I have requested that they stain the concrete of the patio to enhance it even more. Their ability to handle the hard scape and soft scape as one was just what I was looking for.

We had a wonderful experience working with Rich. He worked with us to design a yard that we absolutely love! He was very professional and knowledgeable and was extremely responsive. He is a very good listener, and was able to translate our ideas into designs. He made suggestions along the way the improved on our plans and we ended up with a wonderful yard. His crew worked hard and were respectful of us and our neighborhood. Rich has a great talent for designing beautiful spaces and the know-how to implement it. He was always so friendly and easy to work with. We definitely recommend him to anyone!
Description of Work: We had our entire yard dug up and replaced with new landscaping and hardscape. Backyard Creations worked closely with us to create a design that fit perfectly with our needs and lifestyle. They then dug up the old stuff and replaced with new groundcover, shrubs, trees and hardscape. It is absolutely beautiful!

The owner was always on time for appointments and available for follow up questions. Plant selection was excellent and properly installed. He was very prompt to answer his phone calls. He has excellent equipment and a good crew. Addendum: 2/16/12 He came ten days ago. He did some relaying of the sandstone. He did a great job and re-did the landscaping, as well. He put in a small drain to accomodate the drainage in the back yard.
Description of Work: Rich prepared a three phase landscape renewal proposal for my home designed to reduce maintenance using plants that are proven to be best suited for local conditions (soil, water, weather).
