Sherry and Glenn prepared a whole yard landscaping plan for us in 2012 when we first bought our…read morehome. They did the front yard portion of the plan in 2012 which was quite extensive. New fence, multi-level rock garden on a steep front slope, front yard gardens/paths, garden faucet installation and the back rock patio. It turned out beautiful and they do all of the work themselves. We had the back yard landscaping portion of the plan completed in 2014, which included redoing the back fence line and building an arbor over the back gate. We get tons of compliments on the yard. Sherry and Glen are a joy to work with and very helpful with questions and taking into account the special needs or requests of their customers. I highly recommend their company.

I recently moved into a house and wanted some tips on how to take care of the garden. I called…read moreSherry and asked if they had a consulting fee, or an hourly rate where I could ask questions. She said not to worry about it and scheduled an appointment on Sunday, just a few days later. Sherry came right on time and spent a long time walking us through our garden, giving us ideas, tips and telling us how to take care of the plants. She taught us cool things like how to tell if individual branches are dead, or the best place to prune a rose back to. We didn't identify any major landscaping projects, and she didn't ask for any charge, just that we keep them in mind if we end up getting work done. We certainly will!

He met with us at the same day and gave us a reasonable quote. Project was smooth, quick, on time, on budget, and beautiful. Chris is very easy to work with, open to suggestions, and has a passion for his work. By the way, he's a nice guy, too! Could not have asked for more. Will definitely call on Ascent for future projects.

He had great ideas for how to improve our yard and re-do a retaining wall. We got a few bids for the work but I was the most impressed with Chris' creative ideas, clear communication, and reasonable pricing. I'm very glad we went with Ascent Landscaping -- their work was excellent and our yard and retaining wall look great. Chris listened closely to our priorities and was very thoughtful in putting everything together. I would definitely recommend Ascent for other landscaping work in Seattle.

I have owed Nick a review for too long for the beautiful custom backyard he built for us in the…read moresummer of 2022, so here it is. Previously we were not using our backyard too often - we had huge leyland cypresses along our fenceline that absolutely choked any sunlight out of the backyard. We had moss everywhere, grass that struggled to grow in the shade and grew patchy, and some large magnolia trees that would constantly get damaged by the winter snows. We love being outdoors and spending time in our backyard, but wanted to upgrade the space. We worked with Nick to create a custom plan and redesign our backyard from the ground up, including a covered patio area with BBQ grill and flat top, mini fridge, and a beautiful stone fireplace. Nick's team wrapped the columns of the patio cover with stone, and laid it all out on a bluestone paved patio. He was also able to accommodate a hot tub, and finished it all off with lovely landscaping and plants. We even added a shed and wired it up as an extra entertainment room. Throughout the whole process Nick was patient and accommodating, and was flexible as we encountered problems or changes that needed to be made. Nick's guys were on time and professional, and basically spent months with them as they did their work! Would highly recommend Mill Creek Landscapes for your backyard project, big or small.

I was so nervous about signing with a contractor to build our retaining wall and patio because of…read moremy incurably high expectations, but I had the sense from the beginning that Nick would care as much about the details as I do. Boom. Correct. We already had a design from a landscape architect but Nick was able to adjust our rough plans to be even more precise and suitable for the space. His crew was equally conscientious. At least three separate times, Tony asked for my opinion on what he had started building, and when I said, "How about this way instead?" he graciously took the more time-consuming route to ensure all of his meticulous stone work made me smile. We could not be happier with our new space. All the neighbors are jealous. Hire these guys if you can!

Here's the bad: They've gotten very expensive at $55 per hour per gardener and require a one year contract. Your lead/contact gardener will NOT be on site while work is done. You will see gardeners on their phones while working one-handed. We have a hydrangea that borders on our neighbor's garden. The PPNW gardeners chose to prune only half of it leaving it weird looking and incomplete. Why they didn't knock on the door or call to ask if it was okay to prune the whole thing is a question unanswered by owner Shannon. Instead, she chose to cut off service to us as she felt it was rude of us to ask.

We've been working with Plant People Northwest for about 1.5 years now. They come when they say…read morethey will, are responsive to emails, and truly care about maintaining the health of our yard. We worked with another landscaper who completely butchered our bushes and sheared them beyond their natural shape. Plant People has helped us care for them in the specific ways they need, making sure to keep their natural shape and using safe soil and fertilizers. I agree with a few other reviews below that the $55/hr cost and minimum commitments add up over time. We've also had a lot of back and forth about the cost of taking items to the dump vs. putting them in our compost bin. But overall we appreciate the care they show our plants and reliability, so we plan to continue working with them and would recommend them.
