Buyer beware! We gave Barbara Safranek literally months to…read moredraw up a complete redesign of our small landscape. We wanted the plan on paper, as we were putting the plants in ourselves, and we had previously had a good experience at our last house in another state. She charged us twice her normal rate, just to put her plan to paper ($1,000!). Expensive, but It would have been worth it, if she had put in more effort on it. Here is a rundown of her mistakes, and how she treated us when we asked her to make things right: 1. She didn't come up with a plan until 6 months after we hired her, and just before planting (putting time constraints on changes). 2. In spite of a walk-through describing the complete re-do of the property, she failed to plan for 3 beds at the front and sides of the house. She didn't bother to take notes at the time, so she was just relying on her memory. Which isn't good enough when you procrastinate for 6 months. When I asked her to please complete what I asked her for in the first place, she threw in a couple of "tips" for plants in those three beds, instead of the thorough plan I asked for. 3. In addition to not even designing all of the beds as agreed upon she made rookie mistakes, like placing dense conifers right in front of a window, blocking both view and light. In parts of the plan she did not accurately do measurements or account for permanent structures in the landscape. Her placement of plants contradicted recommendations for spacing and light requirements for healthy plants given me by professionals who actually DO know plants. Then, not all plants in the plan were even labeled in the legend. All of the crisscrossing lines must have confused her when she went to double check that. If she double checked that. Then I couldn't even find most of the plants that she put on the plan, in local nurseries. In some cases those plant varieties had not been seen in local nurseries for YEARS. Finally, when I asked her to address the problems in the plan, instead of fixing them, she got huffy about my questioning her choices or work (When you are hiring her, she is sweet and personable. But she is extremely arrogant and unprofessional, once she gets her money, so if you do hire her, don't give her money up front and just trust that she will be professional!) I asked her to please fix the problems with the plan, or at least give us a partial refund on the printed out design, since it was full of mistakes. She told me that she usually works with clients (out of the goodness of her heart?) after she does a plan, but she wasn't going to do that for me (because I insulted her pride?). I can only surmise, that having procrastinated in doing the work for me, it cut into her time collecting jobs/receiving money from other clients. A year later, I am still paying for the mistake of hiring her. I am still faced with having to redesign my landscape by myself or hiring someone else to do what I hired her to do. I am still dealing with the aggravations that I hired her to prevent. I am baffled by the testimonials on this site. But then, they are all from 2013. Maybe they are friends of hers. Maybe she relies on the companies that implement her plans, to correct her mistakes on the fly. I don't know. I realize it is more difficult to put things into a plan, than to just artistically group colors and textures, and have someone else put in the plants. But that's why I paid her DOUBLE. I expected her to know her business and give me what I paid for. I don't know what happened in the five years since her last review in 2013. But you certainly can't trust those reviews now. Very, very dissappointed.

My husband and I bought our house during winter a couple years ago and we had no idea what the yard…read morelooked like because it was covered in snow. Come spring, we were horrified to see the hideous state of the front yard. It was so embarrassing coming home to such an eyesore. We tried ripping the hodgepodge of plants out to no avail, and it didn't help that the lawn was basically a weed patch with a giant hole in the middle. We knew we couldn't transform our yard without professional help. That's where Legacy Landscapes came in. Joey drew up multiple options for the front yard and was very accommodating to our ideas, especially with our desire for a low-maintenance yard. Once we settled on a design, we were pleased to hear that our project could be started way ahead of schedule. The crew was very hard working and communicative throughout the process. I really appreciated the time they took to make sure that we were happy with the project along the way. Now, I'm no longer embarrassed of our home because the yard is immaculate and beautiful. Thank you, Joey and team! To anyone thinking about landscaping, I highly recommend the Legacy Landscapes crew.

We purchased a property on a one-acre lot in Sandpoint two years ago and we invited Legacy to give…read moreus a bid on the landscaping. It was a bit of a challenge because although the property is waterfront, only the backside of the garage faced the water, and the rest of the property was seriously overgrown and cluttered. Legacy first drew detailed plan proposals and after three iterations, we had a final plan that more than embodied our vision. Some of the design elements we would never have thought of and they really added to the total. Next we got a detailed cost breakdown and timing. Having dealt with other contractors extensively, I did not expect the budget and timeline to be followed, but they were! We of course, made changes as we went, but each time, Joey would come out to discuss and then he would produce revised schematics, timing and pricing. As a result, there were never any surprises. The end result far exceeded our expectations and we have received lots of kudos from our friends & neighbors (some have hired Legacy themselves!). So this could not have been a better experience and I think this comes down to excellent architecture, superb project management and a steady team that not only knew what they were doing, but also had an artist's touch. I can highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.

I have seen work that this landscape company does, and it's very nice. They did a neighbor's house…read morethat came out nice. I have not spoken to my neighbor as to how things went, but I decided to contact PGD and requested a quote back in May. Tom came out, he is the designer. We said great, give us a design that includes a fire pit and helps keep water away from our foundation. He said he would come up with something. He said they have a crew that can start late July. A month went by, I called Tom and left a message that I am heading out of town and would like to get a bid. Tom and the estimator Jack showed up that day without responding to my message, they just showed up. My wife who wanted input was in her home office on a call with a client and could not get off. If we knew they were coming we would have made the arrangements. Either way, we had a pleasant visit and Jack and Tom appeared to have a plan in mind. A few more weeks pass and I call and speak with Tom. He said they have been real busy and Jack will have an estimate to me by the end of the following week. After that following week, I call and leave a message with Tom on his answering service. No response. A week later, I call the office directly and spoke with a very nice young receptionist that I left all my information with for Jack to please return my call. She assured he he would get the message. That was now 10 days ago. I did not give 1 star because I have not had them actually do any work for me. They did not get a 5 because they did not do any work for me. They do deserve a review because I did deal with their customer service through the bid process, and this review comes 3 weeks after they originally told me they can start. If there is a logical explanation as to why this went so poorly, I would love to hear it and I would adjust my review accordingly. But when I do business, or try to do business with a company, I will always give an honest review of how the process went. In this case, the process went nowhere.
