We hired Alderwood Landscape Architecture and Construction to completely revamp the majority of our back yard space to include water features, fire pit, lighting, landscaping, hard surface replacement and an outdoor living space. We met with Tim who did an outstanding job listening to us, translating our landscaping and building needs into amazing plans and connecting us with the right contractors to handle all elements of the building construction. Tim's overall design was fantastic and his plant selection was inventive and colorful!!! He has a true eye for developing a warm, year round color palate for planting areas. Additionally, he listened well to what I was looking for and was willing to change his plans as necessary to incorporate my personal likes and dislikes. We plan to do additional work in the front at a later date!
Dann was our overall project manager. We never had any problems with scheduling, project management, or accurate budgeting and billing information. Given how many projects he oversees were very impressed with his willingness to help us out at every turn when we had questions about the project, timelines, materials, product specifications, and alternate materials as necessary. He provided me with multiple sub-contractors to interview and select for other aspects of the project and was helpful every step of the way.
The landscaping, water feature, hard surface, and lighting team was led by Nick Lane who had a great team of very helpful, conscientious team members, Jose, Drew, and others. Every day they were on time, worked hard, and were always willing to answer my myriad of questions regarding the processes they were using to dismantle the old hardscapes, dig fountains, lay stones, water feature maintenance, etc.. It was a labor intensive process and we were so happy with every aspect of the implementation.
For the building construction we hired Nick Alexander and his team to do the outdoor living space that had multiple elements to the project and required several sub-contractors. Nick and his team, Don and Zach, were amazing. From the beginning Nick listened to what we wanted and quickly converted our thoughts into an amazing CAD drawing. Nick offered great input into the design process, listened to our changes and seamlessly implemented them into the final design. Having built a lot of projects from the ground up over the years, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the process was from planning through implementation. The schedule was well managed, the construction site was always clean and safe at the end of the work day, and the materials were always top notch. There were no corners cut anywhere. Professionalism was the constant mode for communication and project management.
Shortly after the entire project was finished we had over 100 people over and the comments about the space, landscaping, water features, etc., were all positive and people really enjoyed the space, the quality, and the design.
We would highly recommend this company and their team and would hire them for additional work as needed! read more
