Stone Arch Landscapes and Alex completed a project for me in 2022, and within a couple of months…read morethe retaining wall started leaning, and the pavers dropped along the wall. This wall is now out of plumb by 3-1/2" over a 4'-0" area, so out of plumb by almost 1 inch per foot. The pavers have large 1/2" plus gaps in this area, and there is concern that this wall is going to fail, and will fall. Alex has been notified numerous times each year about this issue, and he has refused to respond or answer my calls, texts or emails, he is ignoring the problem. When looking back, Alex failed to acquire a permit or to notify the city, which is required with any wall that is over 4'-0" in height, and he did not complete an engineering review which is also a requirement for walls of this height. Because of the lack of response from Alex and his refusal to warrant his work, I am forced to get quotes to repair and will need to pursue legal means to resolve the issue. Beware.

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.

I rarely write reviews, but these guys are great! BTW, Scott even called us a few weeks after the job and asked it everything was still to our liking--you don't get that service very often!!

Instead her worker guys cleared out all of the plants I've cultivated - that needed time to reseed and also provide shelter to bees and bunnies over the winter. The workers were very considerate - and actually did an excellent job if a perfectly tidy yard is what you want. But it is not what I asked for. I still recommend their service. They were really responsive in timing, and thorough and skilled in the job. But be sure to get confirmation if there are certain needs you have asked for.

Though we…read moredidn't end up working together (we were not 100% ready to move forward at the time), Linda was an outstanding source of inspiration and creativity. She came to our property a couple of times and spent time talking with my husband and I about our goals and vision for the space - it was incredibly useful! I regret that we were not able to fully collaborate at the time, I know that Linda and her team would have done an amazing job. I would fully recommend reaching out to her if you have any landscaping needs.
