Landon designed & installed a water feature (waterfall, stream, small pond at the end) for us about a month ago, and it is GORGEOUS. Throughout the process, he was very easy to communicate with - email, text, call - he would always follow up quickly. He worked with us to get rendering done of the water feature so that we could get HOA approvals, helped understand costs, and worked within our budget to get us an amazing product. He installs water features w/ concrete on top of the liner, which means that our dogs can play in it (they love it) without damaging anything. The waterfall has completely transformed our yard. We've already enjoyed it with family, friends, and neighbors. Everyone always comments on how natural looking it is, and how it blends in well with our existing patio area. Highly recommend LCM Landscape & Design! read more

I wan to start out by saying the interaction with the people in the company were pleasant however, the outcome was not. I hired LCM Outdoor Living to perform what they quoted as a "Full Water Feature Clean Out" for my pondless waterfall at a cost of $1,608.92. Before scheduling the work, I explained that I had recently purchased a home with an existing water feature that needed a thorough spring cleaning and start-up. The written quote described the service as including inspection and cleaning of the equipment, power washing the feature, checking water quality, ensuring proper filtration, adding beneficial bacteria, and, most importantly, "one thorough cleaning, which includes the complete cleaning of the pond, removal of debris, and deep cleaning of all pond equipment." When the crew arrived, they drained the water, pressure washed the exposed surfaces, added beneficial bacteria, refilled the pond, and left. I was told the cloudy water would clear within a few days, which it did. Unfortunately, the water then turned a deep orange only days after the cleaning. When I contacted the company, I was initially told the discoloration might be caused by well water. I explained that my home is not on well water. Wanting to understand the issue myself, I researched common causes of orange pond water. One commonly cited cause was decomposing pine needles, pine cones, and organic debris. I went outside, moved several of the loose rocks that the water flows over, and found large amounts of pine needles, cones, and other debris trapped underneath them. This was surprising considering I had paid over $1,600 for what was described as a complete clean-out with debris removal. The same technician returned to inspect the pond. He first suggested the rocks themselves might be causing the discoloration and later suggested a small amount of rust on one of the filter brushes. To test that theory, I placed the brush in a clear pitcher of water. It did not discolor the water. When I showed him the debris hidden beneath the rocks, he told me their crews are instructed not to move rocks when cleaning because they could damage the liner if the rocks were glued down. That explanation didn't make sense in my situation because the crew had already moved rocks during the service to cover exposed liner. More importantly, the company's own contract specifically states that the service includes "complete cleaning of the pond" and "removal of debris." In my opinion, leaving significant amounts of debris beneath the rocks where the water flows does not meet that description. Afterward, I contacted the salesperson who prepared my estimate, hoping the company would either offer to correct the work or provide some type of adjustment given that the contracted work did not appear to match what was performed. Instead, I was told the technician had been correct and that they simply do not move rocks during cleanings. At that point, it became clear that my expectations and the company's definition of a "full clean-out" were very different. To me, water that turns orange within days because debris was left behind is not a successful deep cleaning, regardless of whether the water is technically clear. I understand that every company has its own methods, but I believe prospective customers should clearly ask what "complete cleaning" and "debris removal" actually include before agreeing to this service. Based on my experience, those terms did not match the work that was ultimately performed. I cannot recommend this service. I feel I paid a premium price for work that did not meet the written description, and I left feeling that I could have purchased the necessary equipment and achieved a more thorough result myself for much less. read more

We met Landon at the Denver homeshow in 2022. We were looking for ideas for a Kitchen remodel and were not looking for water feature but his artistry caught our eye and definitely peaked our interest. We spent about 45 minutes just getting to know him and discussed the different options that might be available. Prior to moving to Denver 18 years ago we had a Coy pond in the back yard and we definitely missed the sound of water and the sereneness of the water feature. This time we were considering something with less maintenance that we could enjoy but not have the regular maintenance. Landon worked with us on a pondless water feature that would give us what we were looking for. We had some unique circumstances that would affect the project so Landon came to the house to survey the surroundings and helped us work on the placement. He then came up with a digital rendition that we could use as a starting point. We next scheduled an early June start date as we wanted to be able to enjoy the project this year. As promised Landon was here on time and brought a great crew to work with. His team was very conscientious of our pets and made sure to secure the property each day. We live in an HOA community and his clean up each day was amazing, if not for his trucks in the day time you would have never known he was here in the evening. The project came in on budget and Landon went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the end result. The final project is amazing and we are enjoying it everyday. There are many Landscapers out their that say they can provide you with similar options but I challenge they can compare to LCM!!! I would post pictures but they do not do the project justice so here is a link to the video on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/landon.malave/videos/751723105974630 read more

The team at LCM were absolutely amazing! The talent, creativity, professionalism, commitment to excellence, unquestioned integrity and patient are terms to describe this company! Landon, his project manager Sergio, and the team implemented a vision I didn't know I had. Landon created a masterpiece, from a yard full of river rock to a outdoor living space of trees (evergreens, deciduous), bushes, perennials, a second patio curved around a waterfall swimming pond with its own beach! Words can't express my sincere appreciation of their work. They were meticulous in every step of the project, adjusting to a number of my change orders extending the project. I highly recommend Landon and the team for any outdoor project, of any kind! They create magic! read more
