Contacted Brad about putting in a paver driveway with Indian summer colored pavers. Finished product looks beautiful and definitely gives the house a unique look. They also came up with the idea of painting the concrete wall next to my driveway a similar color and everyone thought it was a new wall. Ended up adding a final finish to give it the "wet look," which I would highly recommend doing. read more

Brad and his excellent workers exceeded my expectations. My old driveway was so steep that only SUVs could go up it without bottoming out. They expertly excavated a new gentler slope and laid 50 feet of awesome paving stones. His price was very fair and they completed it in 4 days of dedicated work. Great communication too with no surprises which I really appreciated. I recommend highly. read more

Very satisfied customer! Brad and his team just finished up a job for me where they redid my front retaining wall and regrading of the area. Brad is very responsive via email, phone, and text and my project was able to be scheduled quickly. He also has very good ideas and has good vision for how the project relates to the house as well as future projects. I'm very happy with how the project turned out. My shabby very ugly front yard now looks fantastic! I'm looking forward to working with him in the future. read more

Brad and his crew did a great job on our backyard patio that is made with concrete pavers. There is no water pooling when it rains and it appears level with no heaves. They worked pretty quickly. We were glad to be there the first morning when they started and did the design as we wanted them to change things a bit. They were more than accommodating to our small changes (rounding several corners that they planned as square) and didn't charge extra for that. Brad kept saying not to worry as they did this all the time and he was right, they banged it out and took care of some problem areas very thoroughly and professionally. They were a pleasure to work with. 2 years later the patio looks great! Thanks guys. read more

End of 2015 we had Salmon Bay come out and do a paver patio and driveway for us. He really worked with us on design and what the best options for our backyard would be. The crew came out and worked in some of the nastiest, rainiest weather we had this winter. I was shocked that they would work in those conditions. A couple months ago we noticed some of the pavers were loose and contacted Brad. He said most likely the ground had settled and they would come out to fix. It took them awhile and me following up multiple times, but he came out and finished the job. We are happy with the results and would use them again if the need arises. read more

After two phone conversations & multiple emails, Brad agreed to meet me at my home to discuss driveway replacement, or so I thought. Ten minutes after our appointed time I got an email telling me the price to remove concrete. Period. What? I want a dirt driveway? He had previously told me the square foot price to remove & dispose of old concrete so his email was redundant. He never replied to my message saying I was waiting for him to discuss pavers. Needless to say, I have happily moved on. However, this certainly was a very unsatisfactory interchange. I have no idea why this went so wrong. If he didn't want the job, man up and say so. read more

They take care of you! I just watched one of their truck drivers stop 4 lanes of traffic on a busy 45th Ave. so that two sight impaired individuals could cross the street. Hats off to your employee! read more

Preface: this is not a review of the service. Rather it is a comment on the absolute disrespectful, reckless and dangerous behavior of two of their employees/truck drivers. At 430pm on July 24th, going North on 15th approaching the Ballard bridge I witnessed a Salmon Bay Landscaping truck cutting off multiple cars, almost hitting a few in the process. The traffic had backed up due to the bridge raising and general rush hour traffic, and during this time people generally use the zipper method to allow merging traffic in and over to different lanes as it bottlenecks. Not these guys. I witnessed them cut off no less than 5 cars, two of which they almost hit, including mine. When I got into my lane legally (with blinkers and regard for the law and human life) they tailgated me and flipped me off and shouted obscenities at me (and my children whom I had to explain what M-Fer meant. Thanks for that.) When safe I called the number on the side of the truck and got a voicemail which I very loudly complained to. As the traffic cleared and sped up the truck purposely pulled up beside us and swore at us some more. So I took their picture with my phone and then showed them my tire iron, at which point they sped off and made a very fast and aggressive right turn with no blinker. If THESE are the type of people that Salmon Bay are going to employ, I will absolutely make sure they never get any of my, or anyone I know's business. It sounds like some of the same aggressive behavior that has been reviewed before. read more

Brad and his crew had to help us turn around a quick landscape job with new sod and mulch, so we could list our house. His crew was prompt, professional and finished in record time. It was pouring down rain, but they all had smiles on their face. Very pleased with Brad's company and crew and will certainly use them again. read more

We have had Brad and crew do 2 jobs for us on the recommendation of a friend who used them and was pleased. Likewise, we have been very pleased with the outcome of both our jobs. Last Fall was a large paver installation for our driveway and a continuation of a back patio. The driveway is now 7 months old and looks beautiful. So we had Brad's crew come back to give our irrigation system an upgrade and to give our garden beds a big facelift. We are thrilled with the job. The crew is very hard working, nice and try hard to please. Brad started and ended both our jobs on time and on budget. They even power washed our grimy patio on the last day. We will use them again. read more

I have been very pleased with Brad's professionalism. He has shown up to estimate my backyard project on time or called saying he would be ten minutes late. He texts and communicates very well with his clients. He gets his bids to you when he says he will. I needed a plan drawn out for the City to submit for approval on my sloped yard and he referred me to a very reasonably priced designer, who was also excellent. Salmon Bay's pricing is very competitive and Brad is a very pleasant person to deal with. Quite frankly, I find it hard to believe the one bad review here...there has to be much more to that one sided story. This is NOT the company I dealt with because they were always professional and Brad is a very mild mannered individual. I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone! read more

Brad and his crew were great to work with. Brad was particulary understanding and great when it came interpreting city permit requirements and ways to work with these in a low stress way. Brad was open to last minute amendments and stayed in our budget easily. Kelivin, his lead guy was also great to work with, although the crew did have some quite loud banter at times and left a bit of garbage on site from snacks, etc. They did a huge job for us, retaining wall, basic landscape and pavers and the quality of work is very good! A few pavers were chipped, but brad does a site check and is open to any amendments. Over the summer there has been some settling, so we will need to call them back, but overall great to work with, reasonable in priven, and good quality work. Salmon bay was our second lowest bid of four and we in no way regret choosing them! read more

I've had Brad & the Salmon Bay crew out to clean & resod my lawn + install a paver patio at my Seattle home back in 2008. The experience then was SO GREAT that the first person I called was Brad, but this time... to quickly turn around an estimate to repair the same lawn that was left with huge holes in it (our Tenants moved out). As expected, Brad was super responsive, terrific to work with and was able to turn around the quote within 2 days!!! Even though the work hasn't been performed yet, I have to say that this company is top notch! Give clear requirements & they ALWAYS come through with precise results. Thanks Brad!! read more

I give this establishment one star because Brad's crew is great, and they work their a*ses off. However, this was one of the weirdest experiences I have had. I hired them some time ago, and frankly, have been scared to place a review. The work started out great, but everything took longer and cost more than expected. It was nearly impossible to get any kind of realistic invoice from them. Still, we proceeded, but it was clear that Brad did not have the money to complete the project until we paid him. He started and stopped working several times, demanding more money, and eventually stopped showing up. He was to install a retaining wall in addition to some other work, and the quality of the wall was horrible. It was curved when it should have been straight, it had weird jags in it, and they completely failed to coordinate with the fence installer that had been contracted to install the fence on top of the wall. Ultimately, they ignored the type of fitting and locations that the fence installer told them to do, and just went to Dunn's and purchased fittings that were not strong enough for the fence. On top of that, they placed them in the wrong locations, and in the wrong configuration. When we refused to pay until corrections were made, which Brad agreed to do, he just stopped work again. But that was not the strangest part. One night Brad and one of his crew showed up on the doorstep and rang the doorbell for at least 30 minutes. I was terrified and did not answer. He then started removing the large boulders that his crew had installed, and throwing them around the front yard. He destroyed some of the paving his crew had installed, then started throwing rocks and dirt at the front door. He removed an iron decoration from the face of the house and threw it at my car, nearly missing it. By this time, the police were there, and for some reason they did not arrest him. Go figure, I guess he had not actually hurt the house or me, that's all I can figure. But they did escort him off the property and instructed him not to return.This was a terrifying experience, and he runs a shoestring operation. That is my opinion...I love the pavement his crew installed, managed to fix the wall (to the tune of several more thousand dollars), but Brad, in my opinion, was unstable. Period. And as I say this, I fully expect him to return to attack me again. How scary is that??????? Scary enough to install security video at the house. read more

They never replied to my request for sprinkler repair. I would have appreciated a quick email stating that they were currently too busy (if that were the case) and to not keep me hanging. read more

Brad and his crew helped transform our small townhome patio space into an amazing extra living area. He demolished the existing concrete slab, and installed beautiful pavers. He also designed areas for our vegetable "farm", using large tubs at hip height that are great space savers. He also had a great eye for plantings, designing a lovely landscaped area in front that will provide color year round. Brad listened to our requests and offered helpful and practical suggestions to achieve our goal within our budget. His crew are very responsive and polite. I would recommend them for any landscaping and patio changes. read more

AMAZING! Brad took 1 day to come out and bid, 2 days later laid perfect sod (looks so good I watched a neighbor come over to feel it - he thought it must be artificial!) and all for LESS THAN HALF of the other 3 bids I got. These guys were so meticulous and the sod is so green and gorgeous, I couldn't have asked for more. They have all my future business and I highly recommend them to everyone. read more

First rate paver install. Brad showed up and gave me a decent estimate and let me know he could start late the following week. His crew was awesome. They worked their butts off and got a big job done quick. I would recommend them. Reasonable price and the job was done quick! read more

I cannot recommend Brad and his crew highly enough! 4 years ago he transformed our large swath of weedy lawn to a gorgeous, natural, ever-blossoming backyard oasis. The only guidance I gave him was that I wanted plants that attract "bees, birds & butterflies". Now there is a gorgeous stone patio, natural steps that lead up to different sections, plants that bloom throughout the season, and an irrigation system that is efficient and easy to use. His crew is terrific! My neighbors say that they are friendly and quiet, and quick. Brad is the plant guy-he really knows his stuff. He has a great eye, and a knack for natural, unfussy design. His crew do amazing stone and landscape work. I have them come back each spring to prune, clean up the bark and ready our grounds for the summer. Finding Brad was truly one of the best investments we've made in our home. read more

Love working with these guys. I had contacted Brad to help design and install the perfect backyard for our new home in Seattle and were not dissapointed in the least bit. Brad came up with the perfect mix of hardscape and landscape to provide an intimate setting while creating an atmosphere that was idea for enjoying and enterainting year round - from the custom deck, wrap around pavers, to the beautiful foilage and trees that adorned the propery. Could not be happier with the results as well as the service. Brad is always on time, right on estimate and has a kick-ass crew that gets the job done right. Highly recommend Salmon Bay Landscaping! read more

Brad is a nice buy, but his business practices leave a lot to be desired. We engaged with him recently to landscape our yard and he literally refused to provide a design or any sort of plan. Of course, when the day came to start the work, there was confusion about what was included, the size of plants, drainage, sprinklers. He seems to think that everyone should just trust him. And, the price kept going up and up (like a 50% increase). I don't suggest that you trust him and you should consider looking elsewhere. Even though he did work for us previously, we will never use him again. read more

We've just had our third project completed by Salmon Bay landscaping. The first time, we had several overgrown shrubs removed. The next project was installing a path after completely renovating our house -Brad and crew designed and installed a really cool path that matches the contemporary style of our house. Before we found Brad, we'd used two other companies for projects and have been less than satisfied. We had two giant trees, an apple and a Rainier cherry (neighbors claimed them to be 75+ years old) destroyed by a company that pruned them improperly. Another company took so long to complete a simple path and then, once it was completed, the path was not only unstable but bits of shredded tarp started surfacing all around the border of the path and mixing in with the plantings. What a mess. We ended up having the path removed entirely in order to clean up all the debris and unstable stone. So after working with Brad we were so pleased that we no longer bother shopping around for quotes. We either do it ourselves or we call Brad. His crew is really hard working, respectful, approachable and fun to have around. We just had them back last week to put in a patio and a second path... The crew checked in with us throughout the project to make sure things looked ok and they even finished before they said they could. We are absolutely loving the new path and patio. This company is solid -no need to look any further. read more

Took a week to get an estimate for a one time mow/edge with a one bush prune. $220? Seemed high but I needed it done and agreed, it took 5 more days, then a C- job, no edging done at all. I will say the crew is very diligent with a rake. read more

I'm very pleased with the work Brad and his crew did in our front yard: from tree/shrub removal to plant selection/installation to concrete stairs/walkway removal and remodel. The good: high engagement from Brad (text/call every day with updates/questions), an accommodating crew, flexibility with changes mid-course, and a very competitive price compared to other offers. We had a couple bumps along the way (i.e. how I wanted the pavers placed for the walkway) that resulted in required changes and therefore more hours for his crew, but Brad didn't sweat/fight it, quickly acknowledged 'hey, I just want to make sure you're happy", and made the immediate changes. What also has been great: Brad made himself and his team available to do follow-up weeding at little/no charge, which I've utilized twice (since the project was finished in the early summer), and he's acted on almost immediately after I've made the request. I've recommended Brad & his crew to others. I'll use him again for sure. read more
