Harvester Landscapes just did the xeriscaping for our front yard in Denver. Brett Bzdelik and the…read moreteam at Harvester Landscapes were great to work with and did a fantastic job! We had long had a beautiful lawn, but with the progressive drought in Denver, we felt it was time to change to a xeriscape front yard. Brett created a beautiful design with rock, drought-tolerant perennials, flagstone pathways, and a flagstone front porch and patio. The crew at Harvester Landscapes did excellent work in a timely and efficient fashion. They were even able to connect our existing underground lawn sprinkler system into a dripline irrigation system for the new plants. Brett and the team were very flexible throughout the project and were able to make adjustments while the work was in progress. The finished project is wonderful and is a terrific addition to our house! We can highly recommend Harvester Landscapes. Jamie K.

He understood our vision for the yard and was able to produce exactly what we were wanting. Aside from a few rain delays, the project was also completed very quickly. All the workers that came to the house to work were professional and very friendly as well. Our project was very big - and some of the things we needed to get done did fall within John's business. However, he was able to get us in touch with another contractor who does specialize in those things, and those workers and the job they completed was amazing also! We still have 1 or 2 more projects we will need John's help with again sometime in the future - but for now, I would highly recommend using John and Absolute Property Improvement for any or your landscaping needs!

I got bids from several landscapers prior to meeting with John, but I knew we wanted his team even before he sent us a quote. The team was able to start work on our project earlier than projected and we had enough confidence in their team that we let them run the project from start to finish while we were out of town. John's team was meticulous with their work and we were kept up to date with daily progress. We couldn't be happier with the finished project. We got a check-in with an irrigation tech about a week following completion for some fine tuning and things look great!

Jessica (landscape designer) and her husband Mike (landscape project manager) make an excellent team, willing to take an idea, work it, come back to budget and intent, propose the right balance of glorious textures and functional landscaping. Their crew is small and efficient, doing the work well within the time frame quoted. I wanted lots of things- but it came down to "fun and funky" as my guidelines which Jessica realized through combining a formal planting but used surprising colors and textures.

We're excited to let this grow a bit and start planning Phase Two- hardscaping!

They told us that they would get back to us in two weeks with a design proposal---which they did. We had very few suggestions to make---it looked great! However, we were limited with our budget. Painted Plains has helped us figure out how to divide the project into three stages, so it's easier on our pocketbook. They started our project in June and finished in July. After even just one month, we couldn't believe how established and healthy the plants looked. And the yard is so interesting and colorful now! Painted Plains uses many native plants---and we haven't lost one plant yet. (Which is a miracle, since we don't have the greenest of thumbs!) Also, Painted Plains set us the watering system and left us detailed, easy-to-follow instructions. We are starting on the second phase of our design this summer, and we can't wait to see the transformation!

A Cautionary Review of Land Designs by Colton Our Experience…read moreand Lessons Learned Initially, our experience with Land Designs by Colton seemed promising. The project kicked off smoothly, and we had high expectations based on their assurances and professionalism during the early stages. However, as the work progressed, significant issues began to arise, tarnishing our trust and satisfaction with the company. And then they ghosted us. The Tree Planting Disaster One of the first major problems we encountered was with the landscaping aspect--specifically the planting of trees. Out of the nine trees planted, six died within a relatively short time frame. We had been informed that these trees were under warranty for a year, which gave us some initial reassurance. Unfortunately, when we sought replacements for the dead trees under this warranty, the company did not honor their commitment. This was deeply frustrating and marked the beginning of a series of disappointments in dealing with Land Designs by Colton. Contract Issues Another frustration arose when we attempted to obtain a copy of our contract. We had initially accessed the agreement through Google Docs, but it was mysteriously deleted. When we reached out to Land Designs by Colton for a copy, they claimed they could no longer provide it due to changes in their system following an update. This lack of accountability and transparency added to our growing unease with the company. The Deck Extension Debacle The most costly and distressing issue was related to a deck extension they built for us. After the work was completed, we discovered that the extension had not been permitted--they assured us that this was not necessary. As we began the process of obtaining necessary permits, we learned that the construction itself was not done to code. Specific deficiencies included: * Footings that were not deep enough * Railing spindles with uneven spacing * Stairs that failed to meet code requirements These violations have forced us to reconstruct the deck to meet code standards, incurring additional expenses totaling thousands of dollars. In essence, the deck project has doubled in cost due to their negligence. This has been an incredibly stressful ordeal, both financially and emotionally. Conclusion Our experience with Land Designs by Colton has been nothing short of disastrous. What began as a promising relationship quickly deteriorated due to unfulfilled warranties, lack of transparency regarding contracts, and substandard construction practices that led to code violations. We hope our story serves as a warning to others considering working with this company. Proceed with caution and ensure that every aspect of the contract and work is meticulously monitored to avoid similar hardships. Beware of Land Designs by Colton. What seems fine at the start may end up costing you dearly in the end.

Jonathan is among the most unprofessional vendors I have ever come across…read more For background: I hired him to work on my front lawn, and warned him I'd need him to be flexible as I was also getting a fence installed. I paid him half up front and he did some work. When I needed him to return to finish the lawn after the fence was installed, he strung me along on a finish date for months. I tried to press him to finish the job, and he got nasty. I'd often get trapped in circular conversations with his assistant, who hides behind legalese language, while Jonathan's correspondence was filled with condescension, personal attacks, and threats. (As an example: See below his assistant's response as evidence of the kind of legal speak they use, and how they twist it around in their favor. Pegging blame on the customer without accepting responsibility for their own awful service.) And they're thugs. I had to file a police report after he and his workers broke into our backyard _and garage_ to reclaim what he says are his materials. Some $10 pipes. This is something they'll point to in the contract as a thing he has a right to do. Upon terminating his contract for stringing me along, severe unprofessional behavior, and even violating our safety and security, he charged a termination fee. This would be laughable if it weren't so vindictive. Despite it all, I did pay him whatever ridiculous invoice he'd excuse with his contract in order to get rid of all the vitriol he was turning my way. So... Be wary of his, and his assistant's, predatory contract which they rely on to get away with crappy service. You'll know he deems your project to not be lucrative for him, when he gives you side comments about him "doing you a favor." He lacks follow through to complete a job unless it's on his terms, and he lacks professionalism in dealing with client requests. He gets nasty and personal if you get on his bad side. He loves to tout his educational background, as if to reassure you he's somehow different or that you'd be getting excellent service. Don't fall for it. There are plenty of other contractors in the Denver area who do amazing work in a timely fashion without all the drama. Save yourselves the headache.
