BEAUTIFUL WORK!! We are so thrilled that we selected Father Nature Landscapes to do our landscape…read morejob - and it was a BIG JOB! We replaced a lot of lawn, they designed all new plantings, a water feature, and installed complimentary lighting. They even connected us to a curbing company without taking a percentage.... that's unheard of! Their follow through & professionalism was A+ every step of the way. We worked primarily with Joe Farkas, who was patient, very creative, honest and super hard working. The team of workers, led by Jose were wonderful! Always smiling - they were diligent, friendly and their work was impeccable. I would recommend Father Nature to anyone looking for professional landscape work. They aren't the cheapest game in town, but they are not the most expensive, by far! And you definitely get what you pay for! Thank you Father Nature - we are so excited to enjoy our new yard, front and back!!

We originally sought out FN to design around a swim spa that we were going to have installed for…read morelandscape & hardscape. We paid such a premium price for a frustrating experience: over promising and under delivering. From the timeline expectation (From start to finish approx 2 years) We had to reach out to the company consistently for updated timelines on the project.The company has also poor communication amongst each other, Which caused even further delays. We worked with James for a project manager. We appreciated his candor and usual responsiveness in the beginning. Although it wasn't uncommon for a whole month to go by with multiple unanswered emails. There was minor issues continuously, some of the major included: *The Design. Our designer was Bruno, who did a good enough job (we sent Father Nature a swim spa .pdf installation guide, so he could design around the specs) While his design was very nice, during the execution of it, modifications had to be made for functionality AND safety. We found their 3d computer rendering imaging pretty deceptive. The biggest issue here was a lot of confusion around clearance pertaining to the swim spa. (Although it was stated in the .pdf) *Our sales manager was Cameron. Concerning the cost proposal, We were shocked to spend tens of thousands more as not everything was included. While unforeseen circumstances happen, Cameron (who presented our proposal) was not detail orientated when it came to outlining what we will need to pay for to have the backyard that was proposed. Some example: Concrete base pad for the swim spa, Trenches dug, Gas line, Seating/bar area, Lighting package- some path lights were installed instead of uprights, There was Not ENOUGH lights proposed, as they did not measure it out-leaving the south side of our yard in the dark. Cameron did attempt to amend some of this pricing and adknowledged our frustration. He did add an additional 12 inches of fence for free (To mimic the 3d rendering image they presented) *Concrete work that the average eye would question and professionals would call embarrassing. Measurements that are off with an uneven result. Not smooth. *The work team was lead by Oscar, who we didn't have arising issues with. He is friendly, approachable and kept communication open while him and his team executed the project. There were days the work team was pulled away from our job to finish up other pending jobs, although I don't fault Oscar in that. *Our plants arrived earlier than the the work team were able to plant them-leaving myself to have to unexpectatily care for them. We also did have to utilize their plant replacement policy. We were initially told one year, but when we reached out, they said it was only a six month warranty. (Not ideal when these are planted fall, and some of these plants won't show until the following summer time.) A a few did not make it, including a cypress tree. We did get them replaced, but there was concern the tree didn't get enough water. (Did I mention FN did our irrigation???!) *May 2022 The irrigation was not connected. (Which I was informed by our typical irrigation company), I reached out to Father Nature to fix it. Luciano was one of the guys who did the original wiring in the fall but then we were introduced to Carl, who had to come back out to fix it in the spring. *The last pending item of our project was a seating area designed by Bruno. The concrete walls had holes in it and didn't have a "finished" look. Not being contractors ourselves, what we had to go by was that beautiful 3d rendering image plus the proposal stating: "smooth finish on exposed areas". Asking Cameron and Carrie about this type of look, they stated that the holes mean we have "strong walls" ...(Whew...I hope so?) and it was suggested we could have an epoxy paint on there for a more finished look. It was also suggested we do a "back splash". We decided to go forward with that. Father nature did some brief amending on this pricing, but it was still thousands more-another unexpected cost. *The seating area Benches, Originally discussed with Cameron, for the remainder of our project our contact person was James. James told us he took measurements and ordered brackets. Months later after radio silence, we were introduced to, yet another Father Nature employee, Chris Sheer, the president of the company. Chris' did measure. We found out brackets were never ordered. *Dec 2022 we sought out to requested a final bill from them as they went dark again. When the final invoice was sent, we noticed some of their service descriptions were not accurate with the work that was actually done. We settled on a price and on Jan 2023 we paid the final bill. We do get a lot of compliments on our yard. It has a lot of very beautiful features but we would not have taken this bumpy journey again with this company.

He went above and beyond by replanting them when he was complete I highly recommend you check him out and get pricing.

The process couldn't have been any more smooth and he was so easy and pleasant to work with! It was certainly worth every single dollar that we spent!

Highly recommend Travis for any irrigation or landscaping repair needs!

For decades, Momma & I have used almost every landscaper out there (some which shouldn't even use…read morethe word to describe what they did!) We were positive that there weren't any reliable, decent companies/people out there for the simple job of mowing, edging and blowing. (God forbid we needed something else done.) Well. That was until I searched all my local Lakewood Facebook groups and saw how many +++++ recommendations LAKEWOOD LANDSCAPING / Travis had. We figured it was worth getting him out and giving him a whirl. (True, we had low expectations, colored by decades of our poor experiences.) To say we were simply floored is actually an understatement. Travis is the real deal: honest, communicative, professional, knowledgeable, flexible, and reliable. What more could you ask for? He makes himself available whether it is by phone, text or in person always. I appreciate his willingness to talk to us, to make sure we are all on the same page. Something that I have found working with other landscapers is that they don't listen. That simple. There's a lot of nodding and "sure, sure" but they are only half-heartedly hearing us. I have been continually surprised by his ability to repeat our wishes back to us --weeks later-- which builds trust. Another thing we were happy to hear is that he'll do what we want, even if it doesn't make the most sense to him. He recognizes that Momma and I collectively have 70 years of gardening experience between us, and may be coming at a project a little differently than standard landscapers. How refreshing! We have used services on the whole price spectrum, basic budget to high end and everything in between. I would place Travis in the middle range. We have used him for a month or two now and we couldn't be happier. Mowing, edging, blowing, weeding, spreading bark, trimming bushes... so far the guy's a beast! He just does not quit. He gives a 120% as do the crew members we have seen thus far. I would HIGHLY recommend Travis and Lakewood Landscaping -----serving Lakewood, Steilacoom, U.P, et----
