Five year update: There is not a day gors by that we don't love the view of our landscaped yard…read more As requested, Trio installed native plants that attract birds, since my hobby is photographing birds. But the result was much more, the variety of flowers, shrubs and trees, (some bearing berries for birds) is the envy of the entire neighborhood. The plants have matured into a planned "painting" of contrasting foliage. My experience is that money spent outside of the house goes further than remodel money spent inside...maybe it is the "alive" thing that plants have. That sounds dumb, but seeing the seasons change in my yard is life affirming. Thanks, Diana. Larry and Helen

I called Trio Landscaping last fall to discuss a landscaping project we needed for our backyard…read more This is a duplex that hasn't had much loving care to the landscape due to it being a rental property. Now that my husband and I, the owners, moved in, we wanted a space that felt "finished", cozy and a place where we would like to hang out. Diana, the owner of Trio Landscaping, was excellent to work with. She spent a lot of time getting a good understanding of our budget and what we wanted before she created a plan and sent it to us. We had several zoom calls discussing the plan and making minor revisions to ensure it met our needs. Her design is spot on for our space. We were out of town the week the construction took place and came back to a completely new backyard! It has transformed the way we spend time in the back yard - hanging out with friends, grilling and just reading and relaxing. I now have a backyard I am proud to show off. The Trio Landscaping team are all top notch professionals! Thank you, Trio Landscaping!

We are extremely happy with Myhra Design Groups work for us. We had a kidney-shaped swimming pool…read moreof decent size and a pond close to it in our back yard surrounded by different structures, including paths, concrete patio, lawn, a gravel covered hilly area. We contracted Dan to replace the pool and the pond with a new large patio in the center of the yard. He and his team did an amazing transformational job.   The owner, Dan, was very pleasant, effective, responsive, and reliable. During the project we had to make some changes on the design, he was very reasonable with price adjustment without giving us any headaches. During the construction, he visited regularly on site.  After job completion, when we notified him about a few spots of grass that died he immediately brought his crew back to check the irrigation system and replaced the dead grass without hassle or additional cost.   We have compared the cost with other company's offers; Myhra Design Group is competitive and very reasonable. They offered a service that is personalized with high-quality in design, custom relationship, and craftsmanship.

I selected Inspired Landscaping based on Kara's previous very positive review. I have no 2nd…read morethoughts (well, maybe the overall cost but in the end I think it will prove to be of good value). In any case, ~20 years ago my son and I terraced the slope & garden on the East side of my house and installed timber retaining walls. Despite the fact that I used treated lumber the once pristine barriers had begun to deteriorate. I also had started but never finished several other projects. The patio and backyard were getting shabby and overgrown. It was time for a change. Anyone who may have read some of my previous reviews knows about my somewhat recent physical challenges. I'm not exactly a Spring chicken either. A professional job was in order. In addition to choosing Inspired I selected bluestone rock to replace the rotting timbers. The resulting walls and edging look great and the old beams were hauled away. Finished work included river rock and mulch. Gustavo partners with his father and brother to schlep, prepare, install and clean up. Gus was personable and I found him easy to work with. Everything was completed on time and according to neighbors looks: "amazing." Bluestone is not inexpensive. At first I was hesitant to spend so much, especially since I had done much work myself. But I think that in the long run the landscaping/hardscaping will more than pay for itself in providing years of entertaining and peaceful contemplation. Not to mention that it will likely raise the value of my home. If I have any major landscaping additions, I won't hesitate to contact Gus and his crew. Together they are effective, efficient, courteous and meticulous.

Gus was horrible to work with, we called him in may of 2020 to get a quote, he originally scheduled…read moreus in July, then pushed it back further and further until it was winter! He said "you are the first on our list next spring" spring comes around and he continues to push us back further and further. May 1st then end of may then end of June. I get an email at the start of June saying maybe Fall of 2021!!!! That is over a year and a half Gus! I understand being busy but this was just disrespectful to my time. Overall, completely unreliable and unresponsive.

We hired LBT in spring to do an overhaul of our backyard. Engaging LBT is our biggest regret…read more A design is a living and breathing blueprint that gets changed and fine-tuned over time, so there were naturally plenty of questions from our side throughout the engagement. The company's responses were always prompt, yet minimalist and a bit non-committal. Numerous details were missed along the way. In the end, most of these can be chalked up to simple human error. However, what came next was truly the straw that broke the camel's back and WE URGE EVERY BUYER TO BEWARE. When you confirm in writing the type of stone you would like for the project and reconfirm that many times over...and months go by - during which time you even receive a rendering of how your stone will look - it is by this point common knowledge just what stone you have selected. As a consumer, you trust the accuracy of your contractors. You also trust their honesty and fair dealing. So you rely on the most-current bid (on the dynamic, ever-changing bidsheet) and assume it reflects the RIGHT type of stone. Just two weeks from install (on the 4th of August) Emily wrote asking: "Is everything as we left it? Maybe review the bid and let me know if everything is still accurate?" This suggested to us LBT had prepared an accurate bid. We had no reason to second-guess their pricing. We confirmed in writing that the bid was accurate and reiterated our balance and how much we had paid down, just to have this on the record. Then, literally at the 11th hour, Emily wrote that she had failed to apply a per cubic foot up-charge for the stone we had selected...leading to a very steep last-minute price hike for us as consumers. Unfortunately, it was too late for us to pull away. All the stone was meanwhile sitting on pallets on our driveway and we were on the hook. This is not what you expect from a company that has your back. Improved hydrology was a crucial part of our landscaping plan from day one, due to low spots and issues with flooding. Emily recognized this, proposed a rain garden and designed it. We loved it. We only made one small change to the plan, and that was moving the rain garden a little closer to the house. We never removed the idea of a rain garden from our plan. Ever. Just a few weeks from installation, however, Emily claimed to have deleted the rain garden component from the project somewhere along the way. A central component of a landscaping plan doesn't just get accidentally deleted and mysteriously added back a few weeks from install. In either case, the rain garden was NEVER listed in the bid under that name...at NO point! Emily could have apologized for this grave oversight and dealt with it in a professional manner, but instead she wrote us a "slap-in-the-face" email saying "I have added it back in. It's yours if you want it." To just nonchalantly make a core feature of a project seem expendable really got us thinking: "Do they even care?!" Of course, here again was a significant charge getting added to the bill at the very last minute, when it was too late to pull out. In May, Emily had informed us that "we will do a final walk-through before we get started so that all of the grading issues can be addressed on site." However, when we attempted to schedule a date where we could be off from work to meet with La Belle Terre, Emily's response was "It's hard to schedule a start date by appointment because we employ a whole crew who can't wait around for a job to start. We roll from one project to the next so if the 24th doesn't work out just right we may have to push someone ahead of you and try again." Ultimately, La Belle Terre conceded in writing that it was important that we all be on the same page. But it seemed like a real labor to get them to this point. And that's not what you expect from a company that has your back. When we emailed to inquire about these grave oversights and last-minute price hikes, we were ignored. We woke up the morning after to find an early email signed by both Eric and Emily. In it, Emily wrote that the necessary trust to continue the relationship had been undermined and that the company could not proceed with our project. This was mid-August. After 5 months of waiting. In a state where you either have a contractor lined up to complete work before frost, or you wait another 6-7 months without a patio, without a yard. Something we had waited 2 years for. With supplies just sitting around the house on pallets. Pulling the rug out from beneath is precisely what La Belle Terre did. Eric urged me not to post any reviews, as "I think we all know we don't deserve that." We beg to differ. We feel we were sorely short-changed in this risky operation and that the least we could do is tell our story. It is the unsuspecting homeowner and consumer who DESERVE this review!
