Articulate Landscaping & Outdoor Living

Very good job everything cleaned up looks great

Kevin and Articulate came to us on a recommendation from our Landscape Designer, Kathy Heath of Diggin' It. From our first meeting, Kevin was very professional and offered a ton of options. He had a dozen samples with him on our first meeting based upon some information we provided over the phone. We initially thought about using one generic type of paver for the entire patio and moving stones around for different patterns and interest. Kevin has a great eye for design and gave us the idea for different sizes of the same brick with an outline of a much thinner brick. It is hard to describe, but the result is Better Homes & Garden's worthy. We thought about bluestone for a minute, but then had the sticker shock. Ultimately Kevin's supplier has an engineered bluestone that looked better and will last decades longer. Kevin's crew was always on time and very detail orientated. They came back as many times as necessary to get the grading done right. There wasn't a single step or detail overlooked and if he wasn't satisfied, they would keep going until it was perfect. We had a complex yard with lots of angles and swails. The resulting patio looks amazing and from up close or a distance you'd never know it is purposely pitched in two different directions (for water drainage away from the house). When it rains, there is absolutely no standing water anywhere on our patio! We have neighbors stop and tell us what an amazing transformation our yard has taken on. Thanks to Kevin and his crew at Articulate, we have an amazing outdoor space. If you are looking for a very fair and easy going contractor who gives you lots of options in material and design that is meticulous and vastly experienced, this is your guy. We almost went with a "craigslist" contractor that used run-of-the-mill pavers. We are so glad that we took a little more time and found the right guy for the job. I can almost guarantee the pitch would have been wrong and we would have been tripping on uneven sidewalk/brick meetups.

They put in a better foundation. Spent a lot of time and consideration regarding the stones shape, color, and depth for placement. They worked long hours and consulted me with any questions or comments. They were always polite and professional. The patio looks beautiful. We plan to have them for other work around the house.

Job was great! Looked even better than we could imagine. We were so happy with the patio job that we are hiring him back to finish the backyard, to landscape and design around our new pool and deck to create an amazing entertainment space. We cant wait- he will be starting soon!

Every time I hire Kevin, his company's work exceeds my expectations. His crew is professional and very courteous. Kevin has new ideas every year, and always shows me the newest trends in the industry. We are already planning the next project for 2013.
