However, designer Evan Moore and his excellent crew led by Brandon treated us like their most important customer. All are incredibly hard working, friendly and expert at what they do. The wet spring weather was the most frustrating aspect of our project, for us and them! Also waiting for the concrete for the stairway and path on our steep lot to cure was also frustrating but necessary. The crew, Evan and Brandon went above and beyond with good humor providing the additional changes I requested and adding to our drip watering system in front of the house. 5 stars for everyone involved! > BTW: they do appreciate the occasional gift of cookies! **★★★★★ — Becky Ruppel, Aug. 2019** > Evan designed a beautiful backyard landscape that was within my budget and HOA requirements. > The install crew, lead by Manny, were very respectful, professional and friendly. They let me know what was going to be done and how long it would take. They kept the site very clean and neat. I am very pleased with everyone at Alpine that I have had contact with!! Great work! > Beautiful sod!! Thank you for creating my backyard sanctuary!! **Comment from Alpine Gardens:** > Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Becky. You're very welcome and we hope you enjoy your new backyard! :D **★★★★★ — abiddison, Aug. 2019** > Not only was the landscaping project beautiful at the time of completion, it has maintained it’s beauty through years. Something is always in bloom from spring to fall. We love our outdoor space! **Comment from Alpine Gardens:** > Thank you Annette and Todd! > We always strive to create spaces with beauty as well as longevity, and it's so great to hear you are continuing to enjoy yours. We appreciate the opportunity to build it for you and the kind words. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — Jack & Charlotte Williams, July 2019** > We cannot begin to say how awesome it was working with Jack, Ryan, Brandon & the crew. Jack came to our home in Estes Park and reviewed our boring backyard. We wanted a water feature with some trees, shrubs and flowers and he created a design that was beyond our expectations. Brandon, Ryan and the crew worked hard to complete the beautiful water feature and landscaped yard we now have. Every day was a challenge between snow, rain and wind storms but the job was completed in a timely manner which was such a pleasant surprise. The people in the work crew were all first class workers and they knew exactly what needed to be done. No one would ever know that this waterfall had not been in our yard for years as it is so natural looking. Thanks to everyone who worked on our project. We would give nothing less than a 5 star rating to Alpine Gardens. **Comment from Alpine Gardens:** > Thank you so much Jack & Charlotte! We're so glad you love your landscape so much. We will let the crew know how much they are appreciated. **★★★★★ — Wayne Wexell, July 2018** > Kris Nylander had a great design that followed our desires and it fit our house perfectly. The installation crew was great and followed all of our suggestions for placing hardscape and plants without complaints. Follow up on issues that needed fixed were very prompt and courteous. **★★★★★ — Amy Larson, March 2018** > We had Kris draw our landscape plan that transformed the wasted, ugly space in front of our house to a useful space that makes our guests gasp at it's beauty. He drafted the "bone structure" and we did the planting. We're hoping to have him do some more work for us for an attractive windbreak. **★★★★★ — Paintingsbyreb, July 2017** > Alpine gardens did a fantastic quality job building a flagstone firepit for us. We're definitely going to be working with Jack again. > > 2018- we hired Alpine again to do another round of improvements to our almost acre lot. we couldn't be more pleased with the quality and the service. **Comment from Alpine Gardens:** > Thank you so much for the review Rebecca! We are thrilled that you love your new outdoor entertaining area and look forward to working with you again in the future! **★★★★★ — Mark Kozlowski, June 2017** > Another Terrific project taken on by these guys for us...always a pleasure to work with them. The workers are courteous and professional, and the managers stay in touch throughout the job to make sure all is well. They totally stand behind their products and their work **Comment from Alpine Gardens:** > Thank you Mark! There is nothing better than hearing a review like yours! So happy to hear that you are loving your new landscape and we hope to work with you again in the future! **★★★★★ — tony pariso, May 2017** > Over the past 20 years I have had the pleasure of doing business with Alpine Gardens. They have provided landscaping services for my homes, my businesses, and for my homeowners association. In every instance they have provided outstanding service. Most recently they installed concrete pavers on my patio. The installation was fairly complex since the pavers had to be cut to match an existing wall, landscape boulder and a fire pit. As always their crew was polite, efficient and highly skilled. The results were outstanding and is literally the talk of the neighborhood. I can recommend Alpine without reservation and wil use them whenever I need landscape services. **Comment from Alpine Gardens:** > As a long time client Tony, we cannot thank you enough for the wonderful review as well as the gorgeous pictures you took and shared! Here's to 20 more years! **★★★★★ — Kelly Carlton, Oct. 2016** > We hired Alpine Gardens to Xeriscape our front and back yards. They provided detailed information regarding the proposal along with an easy to understand graphic plan. Evan was easy to work with and the guys who did the labor were polite and helpful with changes that we requested. We were pleased with the final results. > > thanks! **Comment from Alpine Gardens:** > Kelly, thanks for taking the time to leave us your thoughts on your project experience with Alpine Gardens! If there's anything we can do for your xeriscaped landscape this year, please don't hesitate to let us know! > > Have a great day! > -Alpine Gardens **★★★★★ — ddvvhenry, Aug. 2016** > We had been trying for several years to remove overgrown juniper bushes next to our house in Estes Park and replace with attractive but low maintenance landscaping. This was both for appearance as well as wildfire mitigation purposes. > We finally decided to research reviews of landscaping companies from Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont and Boulder. > Alpine was one of the few companies that had consistently high reviews from its customers and we knew they had done work in our mountain community. Alpine has now completed our project, and we are extremely happy with it. > In just a few days after we contacted them, Jack came in person to meet with us and help plan the work we needed. We also expanded the scope to build a flagstone patio where we had removed a hot tub, and to help us with some eroding areas behind our house. > We highly recommend Jack and Alpine Gardens. Their crews were friendly, professional and cleaned up at the end of each day. They started our project early and worked full days until everything was done. We are very happy with the results – we now have a landscape that much improves the look and value of our property, plus being relatively low maintenance. Exactly what we wanted! **Comment from Alpine Gardens:** > Hey there! > > Thanks for taking the time to leave us your thoughts on your project experience with Alpine Gardens! We love the mountain neighbors that we work with.

A: Hi Danette, the stone is a buff sandstone from Arkins Park Stone Quarry in Masonville, Colorado. **Q: Stain color?** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of wood and stain is this? A: Hey Jenny, Thanks for your comment. If you still have questions about this particular project, please reach out to us here: http://www.alpinelandscaping.com/contact-us-today Have a great day and hope to hear from you soon! **Q: What are those purple flowers?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Blue Clips Bellflower https://www.fossilcreeknursery.com/product/bellflower-blue-clips **Q: What does something like this cost? Rough idea?** *(in Photo Questions)* We currently own home in Peyton and would like to look into this design for our deck. Mrs. Rose A: Hey Mrs. Rose, Each Alpine Gardens project is created to match client's needs and budget. We'd be happy to sit down with you to discuss the deck options available through Alpine Gardens. Contact us here: http://www.alpinelandscaping.com/contact-us-today  Thanks and hope to hear from you soon! -Alpine Gardens **Q: What do you do about rain water collecting in the hole?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi and thanks for the inquiry. We have never really had an issue with water collecting inside the "bowl". There are two cores that are drilled into the rock. One is for the gas line coming straight through the bottom of the boulder. Another comes in horizontally for the gas valve key. There is enough room around the components to allow water to drain out. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-16.*
