Our sod prep, sprinkler install, and sod installation went so smoothly and very professionally done. We definitely recommend this company.

I'm really surprised reading some of the negative comments here. I called Creative Landscape designs and asked for an estimate for a backyard project involving artificial turf. Seemed most companies didn't have time to come buy, but Don was here the next morning. He was friendly, courteous and professional. We went over my project. He was great at listening to what we wanted and when done presented u with a written proposal. He said they were about 2 weeks out on work, but ended up only a week away.

His crew showed up one afternoon as they finished a job early. They did the prep wok and finished the next day. The crew was very friendly and courteous. They didn't mess around and got with it and answered a few of my questions as they went. They did a great job on clean up before they left. Overall I am very pleased with the job! Thank you Don and crew!

I had to laugh when I read the comments about Don being pushy on payment. He contacted me upon job completion and payment was made. All handled over the phone by his office staff. Easy stuff. These guys don't work for free and have expense that have to be met. I have no hesitation in recommending Don and his company to anyone. Kudos to them for doing a great job in a super timely manner.

Go to Yelp for additional reviews of this company. I wish I had. I contacted several companies for adding a back patio. No one would contact me back except for this company. Therefore, I felt like I would go with them although I found them to be quite expensive. The owner Don was very nice and did an estimate for the work. We wound up doing half the job since it was so much money and one thing I wanted to do was remove a shed, which Don told me he would not do. I got a quote and then decided to do the patio a little bit smaller. They did not take anything off the price. This should have been a red flag for me. Once work began, they were prompt and the workers were friendly. They created a border, for which I thought could be removed. This is not the case. The border for the paver patio is awful. It’s 2 x 4’s in bad condition. There is unfinished wood holding it in place and I will have to eventually have to hire someone to fix this. The patio itself looks nice. They also butchered the grass surrounding it but did lay seed to help replenish.

Secondly, the owner Don is pretty aggressive with the payment. I wanted to use a credit card for liability reasons but he just showed up for a check. He said that he doesn’t like being charged for credit cards. I paid by check. After the work was done, he was by for the final check. Interesting because most companies email or mail an invoice. The guy was right on my doorstep in no time at all. In fact, I think he rushed to the bank to deposit it. Therefore, I wonder why. To get my money before I noticed the terrible border?

Anyway, I would not recommend them.

We hired Creative Landscape to demo and put sod and sprinklers in our backyard and then demo and some basic low maintenance landscaping in our front yard. Overall we had a great experience and would use them again if we needed. There were a few hiccups, such as a sprinkler head of ours was broken during demolition of the front yard and was not brought to our attention and a post that was being used as a border around our planter was haphazardly cut during installation instead of trying to make it leveled. However on both occasions when it was brought to their attention it was fixed without any issues to satisfaction. We had quite a few people come out to provide estimates and they were definitely on the more affordable end than a few of the others. They also were able to schedule and get the work completed a lot faster. Other companies told us it would be like a 2 week process where as Creative Landscape got it finished in 3 working days.

We worked with Adam and were very pleased with the work he and his crew did on our backyard. The owner actually also came out to make sure we were satisfied with the job being done which was thoughtful and unexpected. The result is a beautiful, reasonably priced, quality landscaped backyard. Thanks Adam for all of your hard work!!! We are in love with our new backyard!!!

The only good thing is they show up on time.
They installed my turf. First of all we agreed on 585 sq ft (per contract) but ended up installing 300 sq ft, when I approached Don with it. He blamed it on me, saying that I looked over the sketch (never seen the sketch). Even if I would have seen it, it is not my responsibility to measure the sketch to make sure the dimensions are what was discussed.
When they added a second piece of turf (which originally supposed to be one piece) they told me I won't see the cut. I was frustrated but I accepted to leave with it.
Two weeks later after the rain. I discovered that my turf had bunch of voids over the previous trenches they dug for irrigation pipes.
I asked to have it repaired.
They showed up made bunch of cuts in the middle of the turf filled it, and told me that this is how they make repairs. And I won't see the cuts.
This is not supposed to be a repair. IT WAS A NEW INSTALL!!!

My experience with this company was great. The design was very well done, they were on schedule, and the owner did what he said he would do. The whole experience was wonderful. My yard should be in a magazine.
