Elijah walked us through the different cedar and post options, which was very helpful. When our neighbors expressed interest in having part of their fence done as well, Elijah was happy to meet with them promptly to provide a quote. Andreii was extremely communicative and kept us updated throughout the project. They completed our fence (including our neighbor's portion) in just 2.5 days. Our fence required some shrubs to be trimmed, which they handled as well for no extra cost. They did a great job cleaning up afterward. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the work and the overall experience. Highly recommend Optima!

I cannot find enough good words to say about the fantastic job they did on a fence replacement…read more They were conscientious about what we wanted explaining everything they would do and having suggestions for us as well. The estimate included every detail. Work began within days and was finished after two days. The workers were polite and hard working showing great patience with changes made during construction. Nothing was sloppy as even precise cuts were made where needed. Double and single gates included steel posts for extra strength. A baseboard along the entire fence keeps animals from digging under it and holds back ground where it was uneven. On top of all this the price was reasonable and competitive. Optima gets my highest recommendation.

My yard was left clean of any debris after the work was done. When I was working on the design, Jose was patient and reassuring as I talked it through and sent multiple photos of examples that I was wanting the fence to look like. On the days of construction, I made sure to check in from time to time and see that what I talked about was what I actually wanted when I saw it in front of me. They were all very accommodating as I asked questions and double-checked my measurements as our property had different grades to consider. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat again and am so pleased with the final outcome!

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.

They follow through on what they say they are going to do and did not leave my family hanging or in the dark. I will definitely use them for future work and recommend them highly.

I added a picture for reference. We didn't have any special requests for the new deck so it was a standard deck replacement project. Estimates: Dmitriy came out soon after we contacted Open Space Design. He had good suggestions on how to tweak the layout of the new deck to move the stairs to a better place. The estimate provided was right around what we expected to pay. We got other estimates but the other decking companies we tried didn't really listen to our requests for simplicity, and as such, their estimates were much higher. Build: It was about a month or so from estimate to build which was quick. Jose and his crew were great. From soup to nuts, I think they completed the project in about a week. The weather was typical for Seattle this time of year, sunny one minute and pouring the next, but they kept on going all day long regardless. I couldn't be happier with the look and quality of the new deck. You can tell when people are experts in their craft. If I ever need a new deck, I will be calling Dmitriy again.

They were affordable, knowledgeable, and very willing to work with my needs and my budget. They were able to obtain the permits that were needed which is an important and valuable service. They also took care of the structural engineering that was needed to make sure that we had sufficient support for the deck. Their showroom is very helpful. There are samples and some mockups of decks, railings, lighting, etc. There are lots of options and the staff was great about explaining the options but not pressure-upselling. I felt comfortable choosing the materials and extras with their help. After the project was finished, there was one support post that didn't look finished to me when I looked at it from our dining room window. All Decks was great about coming out. After seeing and understanding what I wanted to upgrade, they were able to install a matching trim piece that made the post look complete. The deck has been installed now since Oct 2024. It still looks great and I couldn't be happier.

Jason Russel, Dr. Decks, replaced our deck in 2025. If I could give this review 10 stars, I would!…read moreOur deck is 1,300 sq. ft, with five levels, five staircases, and a height of 15 feet - very challenging. Jason and his team, Bently and Rylan, arrived bright and early each weekday morning and worked their tails off regardless of the weather, much of which was nasty winter weather! They are all pros and just good guys to have on the property. Jason was on-site throughout the entire process and worked as hard as his guys did. His super creative design ideas, absolute perfectionism, and craftsmanship are of the highest value. He and his guys build as though it's their own home. We asked for some outside-the-box solutions, and Jason surpassed our wildest dreams. He also installed beautiful deck lighting and landscape lighting. Yes, we had to wait about six months after receiving the estimate - they're busy guys. Yes, it was expensive, but he's worth it, and much of that was our choice.

I'm disappointed, but also feel I dodged a bullet if this is the kind of communication I can expect from this company. Don't waste your time.
