We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Phase One Landscape! After receiving three bids for our major backyard renovation, Phase One stood out immediately -- they were the only team that truly listened to what we wanted and turned our vision into reality. From the initial design phase through demolition and final planting, every step was handled with professionalism and care. The team met with us weekly, communicated clearly, and always set realistic expectations. They never cut corners, and their attention to detail showed in every aspect of the project. The quality of their work is outstanding -- our new backyard is absolutely spectacular! It's the perfect space for relaxing and entertaining, and we'll be enjoying it for years to come. We highly recommend Phase One Landscape to anyone looking for exceptional craftsmanship, great communication, and a team that truly delivers on their promises. read more

We worked with Rick, Justin, and Jose from Phase One to build an iron fence, front gate, brick pillars, and lighting for our front yard, and we couldn't be happier with the result. The project went smoothly from start to finish, and the team delivered a finished product that looks fantastic. We especially appreciated their ability to creatively adjust the design to meet both our needs and our budget. Communication was excellent throughout the process--they set up a group chat to share updates, keep us informed on timelines, and let us know when materials were ordered or schedules changed. We're thrilled with the outcome and look forward to working with the Phase One team on future home renovations! read more

I have to give an update since we have had another house built and needed landscaping done. After talking to our planner again it seemed the right choice to go with them, again. We have had nothing but a great experience with everyone with Phase One. And I must say that when we were in the planning we discussed the winter blowout and it would in fact be covered in the project because the yard was put in in September and needed to keep water on the yard as late as possible. Worked out great. We did our spring walk a week ago and some of the trees and plants are going to need to be replaced and our planner was very receptive to our concerns and what we wanted/need to have replaced. That work is supposed to occur in the coming weeks. read more

I've hired Phase One for two landscaping jobs. I worked with Brendan both times. He works with you on your design and is very knowledgeable. When they tell you when your job is going to begin, they don't waiver from the date and finish on time. For the most recent job, they were able to come earlier and finished the job in the number of days they predicted. Carlos and his crew are great to work with, too. They are experienced, reliable, and honor their warranty on plants. read more

I did a lot, a lot of talking and research during my landscape planning, and ultimately ended up with Brendan and Phase One. Brendan was able to fully understand my goals and vision and completely made it happen in ways I hadn't even imagined. The install team was fast, efficient and super friendly; everyone went out of their way to make it be perfect. Now, first spring, they're still around augmenting the couple plants we lost in the late freeze and backing up last years work. Couldn't be happier with all facets of the experience. 10/10 would recommend read more

Every staff person at every level is exceptionally talented and personable. The design work, the installation and maintenance (if needed) is amazing. We have used Phase One on 2 different homes--our most recent home was basically a yard of weeds. Brendan created the design for the front, back, and side yard and Modesto and his crew did the installation--all fantastic. We have people stop on the street to tell us what a beautiful yard we have. Highly recommend Phase One! read more

These guys are the REAL DEAL. Professionals through and through. I found them initially through a review and from the first phone call I knew they were the ones. We worked with Rick as our Landscape Architect and Jose and Carlos ran the job. Rick was extremely responsive and helpful through the entire process. We couldn't be happier with the job they did removing a mountain of dirt in our back yard along with an old, unusable yard and installing a new beautiful retaining wall, sprinkler system, path, and lawn. What a transformation and totally exceeded our expectations! They got the job done quickly but with tremendous skill. We were in awe watching them work diligently from 7:30am-6:30pm every day even in the oppressive cold and rain. Highly recommend! read more

I recently worked with Phase One Landscapes, and I am not very knowledgeable in this area, so I hired someone to help me out and provide the best information for my backyard. The services exceeded what was expected. My landscape architect, Rick, really provided a lot of helpful advice on the look I was going for and what his company could provide. After working together on the design catering to what I needed, the construction crew was kind and delivered the best product in an extremely quick manner. They provide the best design with great quality and quick installation. I could not be more pleased and would advise others to seek out Rick for help on their yard! read more

We had phase one redo our whole backyard and add a bunch of drainage to fix a issue we were having. Plus a paver patio. They were great to work with. Responsive all the time. We worked with Brendan and he was the best. They might not be the cheapest out there but they did everything perfect and in a timely manner. Such a better experience than other contractors I've used. I would highly recommend them! read more

We've had Phase One do one major and one mid-range project, as well as our routine upkeep. Both projects were brilliantly designed and competently executed. An outdoor room increases our living space and looks as if it's always been there, a beautiful place to be. Maintenance has been reliable and, equally important, friendly. Couldn't be happier with design or maintenance (including snow plowing and shoveling). read more

We have been using Phase One for years, including for several major landscaping projects, as well as smaller projects. From design to installation, they do a terrific job. The are customer-service oriented, fix issues if they arise, and work to make the project go as smoothly and efficiently as possible. read more

I had Phase one redo my backyard!! Brendan the Architect is the best!! Justin is amazing!! Justin addressed any questions I had right away in a nice and friendly manner!! The whole crew is GREAT!!! I would highly recommend them!! read more

I had Phase One do a fair amount of work last year and the winter prior. The Sales person promised many things that were not delivered. I had to remind him numerous times to return phone calls and emails. He lost the plans but had given them to me so I lent him mine. It was the end of the year and he really pushed the sale I believe to make a bonus. The company only has a few flowers that they get in bulk like daisies and if you have them plant your own bulbs which vary they won't give you the year inurance policy. Their storehouse might have something you want to plant one week but they might be out of that plant on the day they plant . My sales person/landshape architect either did not or could not reserve any of the plants we decided on, he said he could not. His proposal was based on the daisy. The crew took twice as long as possible, they have looking busy down to an art. They did what was contracted. In the spring before my daughters wedding they were to come back in March but I had to beg them to return before the wedding in May to plant some of the things that my architect said would be no problem to plant earlier. They were under staffed and did not come with everything I had ordered the December before hand. When I told my architect I wanted more than daisies he was extremely defensive and angry. He wanted to over plant many area with generic shrubs and flowers. I ended up running to a plant store last minute to get bulbs because they were and I could no reschedule them as it seemed it was their way or no way. He was so difficult to work with I called his boss but his boss basicly told me it was my problem. The architect may have been related to the boss. The sales person/architect became so difficult and unpleasant that I decided for the few "covered" plants that did not make it through the year that I would not ask for replacements because I never want to see him again. One issue was the billing. They ask for half of the costs upfront which was fine but after that they demanded payments immediatly and their billing was usually incorrect. They don't track well what you bought and what you paid. They were times that they were off by several thousand dollars in their favor. I receive resistance and anger when I brought these issues up or was ignored. I had to have my husband, a lawyer, talk to them about their miscalculations. You can do better elsewhere. read more

Rick and his team at Phase One were fantastic! We did a major front and side yard remodel and they worked closely with us every step of the way. The work was done on time and on budget and they worked hard, had great communication, and were always open to new ideas. I would highly recommend this team and we would use them again without hesitation. read more

Nothing but bad news about this company. Working with them was a nightmare, and I paid plenty for work they didn't do well at all. Installers wouldn't show, when scheduled. Or would show up when unexpected. The sales rep was a very nice guy, but I had the feeling that the installers were telling him they'd taken care of things that they had not done. I needed a simple privacy screen of aspens put in, with a couple of spruces. Wanting a virtual forest of aspens, I bought five large clumps of good-sized trees, which Phase One planted. About three trees died within the warranty time. We are two years out now, and very few of the aspens survived. Come to find out this week, Phase One had not put the drip system on the aspens as they were supposed to do. Our sprinkler people found the system was within a foot of the aspen tree clumps, but Phase One had not bothered to attached the little drip hoses to reach the trees. Absolutely no quality control, and no dedication to doing a job right. So, all this time, our aspens have been slowly dying for lack of water. They have been plagued with blight and aphids, which I have been fighting, in order to save the trees. Then, I discover the aspens aren't getting any water, even though I was told they were on the drip system and I have it set for 10 minutes every day. How does a company explain this kind of slipshod work? The other item I had them do, was to stabilize an existing gate. It required new lumber, and i noticed after the fact that they used a much cheaper grade of lumber than my fence, which is clear of knots. I had been told they would use matching materials. Also, there's a cut end of a piece of wood which looks like it was chewed off, not finished nicely. Really poor workmanship and service. Do not hire these people. read more

We just had Phase One completely redo out back yard. A new paver patio, outdoor kitchen, built in seating area, four new flower gardens and even a shuffleboard court. We couldn't be more pleased. The work was done on time and professionally. I am very picky. I inspected every detail and had them change anything that was not exactly how I wanted. The next day those changes were made. The designer (Trevor) was great to work with. He listened to our desires for the space and drew a great design. We reworked it several times, to add new details, and he couldn't have any more professional, and just a nice guy. We met the company at the Home and Garden Show, and they stood out as someone we'd want in our home. We've been in our home for over 30 years, so we'd been wanting to do this for years. As I walk out the back door, i just smile. This is the first review I've written. I saw the negative one that was on the site, and my experience has been completely positive. I am recommending them to our friends. read more

Phase One did a large patio and pondless water feature project 6 or 7 years ago. A few bumps in the road but the end product was wonderful. I sent an email to Chris Leinster at Phase One last week asking for a call. My water feature has settled a bit and I wanted to have it cleaned out. 8 days later I have no response or acknowledgement of my email. I call him this morning and asked if he had receive my email. Basically, he said yes and that it was "That time of year". No apologies for not even acknowledging my email or returning my call. I explained what I wanted and he told me he turned that over to maintenance and what I requested wasn't in their "wheelhouse". He told me I would be better off contacting someone who takes care of ponds. WOW....I thought they did this since they installed mine! I expressed my frustration that he could have returned my call or email to tell me that. His response was this. "We'll agree that it's not in our wheelhouse and we can't help you." Then he hung up. It must be nice when everyone is so busy that a key employee of the organization can be that RUDE and arrogant to a prior customer. I can't express how disappointed I am in this reponse and will only deal with Phase One for warranty issues (not that I expect them to return my calls or email). I certainly would not use them in the future or recommend them to anyone. read more

These folks completed a wonderful project for us back in 2000. When we wanted to add more hard scapes in our yard in 2015', we immediately thought of Phase One because of our past experience with them. Not only do they do great work, but it must be a terrific place to work! It was like a family reunion seeing guys like Gerardo and Jose again after 15 years! read more

Business must be booming, because I have been trying for over a year to get them to repair a water feature that they installed on our patio, and they just don't seem interested in the project. In late 2011, the water feature began leaking large amounts of water (50+ gallons per day) so we were forced to turn it off so that our patio and garage wouldn't float away. I contacted them in January of 2012 to arrange for someone to take a look at it, and assuming that this would be a slow time of the year for them I expected a fairly quick response. I was wrong. After several follow up calls and promises that someone would get back to me, I finally got a call back that May. When I expressed my frustration at how long it took to get a response, they asked me to understand that May was a very busy time for them (which is why I called them in January...). Several more months passed before someone finally came out to look at the water feature in September (nearly 9 months after I called). Dennis (the construction manager) and one of his crew leads determined that the design of the feature was causing water to back up and flow down behind it, thus leaking out under the patio and garage. They discussed various ideas on how to fix it, and told me they would be back in touch with some options. That was the last I heard from them. Keep in mind that this is a feature they designed and installed. Because it was nearly 7 years old, I wasn't expecting it to be under warranty, and was perpared to bear at least some of the cost of repair. I was dissappointed in the poor design and even worse customer service, but I contacted them because I hoped that they would be familiar with how it was constructed (most of the pipes, etc. are behind the stones and mortar) rather than bringing in a new company and starting from scratch. Apparently they are not interested in supporting their previous work, and have decided to instead focus on new projects. I am now left with a stagnant pool of water that I will need to drain and cover so that it doesn't become a mosquito pond. I'll be sure to do my homework before I select a new contractor to remove it and design a new water feature for me, and hopefully this time I will find an outfit that stands behind their work. read more
