Colorworks Landscape Design, Inc. is one of the best out there, period!…read more My wife and I started 2025 wanting to do a complete backyard makeover. We began by ripping out existing plants, pavers, brown gravel, and artificial turf for both a putting green and a general use area. We started by building a pool (a cheap plug for Dolphin Pools who did an amazing job). After the pool was completed, the second half of the project was ready to begin. This is where Colorworks stepped up to the plate. I could not begin this without mentioning one of the owners, "Jon Hammel". Colorworks Landscape Design, Inc. received rave reviews on Google and Yelp, so we reached out and were promptly scheduled for a complimentary estimate. Upon Jon's arrival, I could sense his excitement and creativity as he envisioned transforming our dream backyard into the upgraded space we desired. Although we had a plan in place, Jon skillfully incorporated his unique ideas, resulting in a comprehensive rendering of the project. We were immediately convinced that Colorworks was the ideal choice for our project. What truly set Jon apart was his unwavering honesty and thoughtful approach to refining our existing plan, ensuring that it reached its full potential. I want to clearly state that there are many stages to such a massive project. There are always going to be delays, and we had a few. Additional parts needed to be ordered, and of course, the weather did not always agree (lots of rain). Since our backyard is not the largest, every inch of the project required attention, and Jon fully comprehended that. The project included 3 large retaining walls, 164 Sq ft. of pearlescent travertine, 18 Indian laurel ficus trees with 6 tons of topsoil, 450 sq ft. of Daytona 80 0z turf, 4 stoned columns on a pergola, a wood accent backdrop for pots, and white rocks. This also included taping into existing irrigation drip, electrical lines, and reusing leftover pavers in other areas. Jon (along with our ideas) was the brains of the project, but Cesar Aldama is the contractor who brought it all together. Cesar, along with Ginato, is an excellent team. They showed up on time and worked tirelessly each day, and consistently cleaned up before they left. They always treated our home with respect, and we couldn't help but notice. Cesar is an expert in construction projects and possesses extensive knowledge in the field. My wife, being meticulous and OCD, wanted perfection in the job. Cesar meticulously coordinated with us on every aspect of the project, providing valuable advice on what could and couldn't be done. He is truly an artist, and we couldn't thank him and Ginato enough. The straightforward truth is that Colorworks fulfilled their promise! I can't forget to mention other members of the team that did amazing work: Jeff (owner), Mark, Manny (Turf installer and his awesome crew). Colorworks Landscape Design, Inc. is an exceptional choice, and we wholeheartedly recommend it. It's one of the easiest 5-star reviews I've ever written. Gary and Terra!

Swimming Pool and Outdoor Renovation Experience Decision to…read moreUpgrade Our Outdoor Space After more than two decades of use, we realized it was time to update our swimming pool. This decision also made it clear that our landscaping and patio area, which were just as old, needed an upgrade as well. At first, we had no idea where to begin with such a large project. Finding Inspiration and Choosing a Contractor During the summer, we noticed that our neighbors were having some outdoor work done. Curious, I took note of the name on the vehicles parked at their house. This led me to reach out to Lone Star Landscaping through their website one Sunday, leaving our contact information. Initial Contact and Planning Chris from Lone Star Landscaping called me the very next day. He was very informative, asking about our goals for the project and bringing up important questions that I had not even considered. During our phone conversation, Chris provided basic estimates for the various items we wanted to address. Once we confirmed that we were aligned in our vision, we scheduled an appointment to meet onsite and review our goals in detail. Onsite Consultation and Material Selection My husband and I spent significant time meeting with Chris, touring both our front and back outdoor areas, and sharing our vision for the renovation. Chris offered valuable suggestions throughout our conversation, demonstrating the depth of his experience in this field. We quickly realized the importance of working with someone who truly understands the nuances of outdoor design. After we reached an agreement on the project details, Chris provided us with samples of the various pavers, tiles, and travertine options. This allowed us to see how the materials would look in the natural light of our own backyard before making a final decision. Watching the Transformation Once we had selected our materials and gave the go-ahead, the work began. It was truly a joy to watch Chris's team bring our project to life. The Renovation Process and Results Chris and his team displayed exceptional skill throughout the renovation. We decided to replace our backyard patio area with beautiful travertine and add a few new spaces for the barbecue and around the pool equipment. My personal goal was to have a surface so smooth and comfortable that I could walk the entire area barefoot. Watching the travertine being installed was a fascinating experience, as we could see the design gradually taking shape. The finished result is absolutely stunning. Even during the renovation, neighbors walking by would frequently comment on how impressive the transformation looked. Enjoying the Results and Looking Forward The outcome of our backyard renovation has exceeded all expectations. We spend a great deal of time outdoors, and since the project was finished, my husband and I have often remarked on how remarkable the work is. Chris's craftsmanship and attention to detail delivered results that were even better than we had envisioned. We were so impressed with the transformation that we decided to entrust Chris with our front yard remodel as well. We are excited to see how that project will turn out. If you value experience, quality, and honest professionalism, Lone Star Landscaping is an excellent choice. We would gladly recommend them to anyone considering a landscaping project.
