Holly Terry met with us and we immediately knew that we would be working with her and the team at Designscapes. Holly listened to what my wife and I wanted out of the project and then created a beautiful full lot design for us. We relied upon her expertise in the selection of plants, trees, shrubs, boulders, etc and have been incredibly pleased with the results. In addition to designing the landscape plan, Holly was on site to map out the design in the dirt ( we had several on site meetings with her) and participated along with the crew on “planting day”. Holly saw the project through to the end and beyond! We were so impressed with her and the team at Designscapes, we signed up for the maintenance plan, Christmas light installation, and snow removal service. They do it all and do it well! **Comment from Designscapes Colorado Inc.:** > Thank you for taking the time to review us. Holly really enjoyed working with you and wants to thank you for allowing her vision to come to life! She is very excited to see how your landscape will grow. ### All 17 reviews **★★★★★ — Daniel Esposito, March 2020** > Brian Breed and the team at Designscapes were exceptional! The quality of the architectural drawings and the craftsmanship dedicated to the build were unparalleled in excellence. The projects extended from hardscape design and build of stone patios, outdoor fireplaces, a beautiful stone fire pit and most recently a complete rebuild of outdoor stone grill and counter. Truly the best crew ever. On time, at or below estimated cost. Designscapes and Brian Breed are absolutely the team to employ. **Comment from Designscapes Colorado Inc.:** > Hi Daniel, > > We are so happy to hear that Brian and the team have exceeded your expectations with the design and build of your landscape. Thank you for sharing photos of your new space! We look forward to our continued partnership with you and thank you for taking the time to write a review. > > Cheers, > > Phil Steinhauer **★ — Christina Bass, July 2018** > Our initial contact with Designscapes Colorado was with Kaitlyn Davis who contacted us soon after we submitted a request online. She scheduled our consultation a little over two weeks after our contact on June 5th - which was no problem. When the designer (Holly Terry) arrived on June 22nd it took less than 20 minutes for her to scope our property and talk with us about what we wanted - we expected more, but I trusted her as the professional. Holly requested we provide her a plot plan - which we supplied prior to her departure. She then stated it would take 3 weeks for her to provide a design and quote. It's been 5 weeks since we meet with Holly; we've attempted to contact her several times via email, the main office and her personal cell, but she has not responded. It's unfortunate this has been our experience. We feel disrespected and disregarded. We contacted Designscapes because we were in desperate need and we waited patiently for a quote and design. If they had no intention on landscaping our property a phone call or email letting us know would have been appreciated. Hopefully we can find a new designer who can landscape our front yard before October. **Comment from Designscapes Colorado Inc.:** > As the Owner of Designscapes Colorado, I wanted to tell you that I'm very sorry that your experience with our team didn't go as you had hoped. We strive to make every client a priority, and unfortunately were not able to show you our best work. It is not our standard policy to ignore future clients, and no excuse will properly explain why this situation slipped through the cracks. We will nevertheless, take your comments and review how we handle the scope and scale of projects such as yours and continue to make improvements with our staff and policies. Thank you. - Phil Steinhauer **★★★★★ — Tammy McLaughlin, May 2017** > Design Scapes > > Thank you so much. You guys are the BEST!! Everything looks beautiful and the guys did an amazing job.

Designscapes has performed other landscape work for us, so we asked them to do the sprinkler system work as well. Oscar was in charge of this project and did a magnificent job. He has an extensive knowledge of plant materials and sprinkler systems. Oscar was careful, thorough and meticulous. He matched sprinkler heads and types to the water needs of the plants served. He made sure that all of the planted areas were getting sufficient water coverage. We could not be more pleased with the finished product. Thank you, Oscar, for a great job! **Comment from Designscapes Colorado Inc.:** > Shkrantz, > > Thank you for your kind words. We are lucky to have dedicated employees like Oscar who strive for perfection in everything they do.

We are glad to hear your project came out well. It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Dawn Repola, Sept. 2013** > We're original owners of a "semi-custom" home built in the early 90's. For nearly 20 years we had a cookie-cutter front yard -- bluegrass, one tree, builder front porch. > > In 2012 -- the hottest summer on record for the Denver area -- we decided to break the mold in the neighborhood and xeriscape the yard. Phil and Designscapes came highly recommended and we now see why. Our yard is no longer cookie-cutter or boring in any way! New driveway, redesigned front porch that is safer and easier to navigate, xeriscape groundcovers that are more beautiful than bluegrass now provide a lovely welcoming entrance to our home. We've added a water feature and seating this summer, along with pots full of flowering annuals. > > As expected, we had a few plants that didn't make it through the winter, but they were promptly replaced under Designscapes' warranty this summer. > > I can't recommend a company more highly. I'm sure they aren't the least expensive. I am sure they produced the highest value for our money and I can't wait to do the back yard! **Comment from Designscapes Colorado Inc.:** > Jdrepola, > > Thank you for your kind reviewing and including some beautiful pictures! We are glad we could help you break away from the "cookie-cutter" landscape and ad some uniqueness to your landscape.
