The entire staff was professional and responsive and the quality of the work was top notch. Additionally, the work was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Catherine, it was a pleasure to work with you on your landscape project! We appreciate your review. **★★★★★ — Karin Wollschlaeger, Dec. 2021** > Excellent company and people working with and for them. Professional, answer questions, follow through on things they say they will do. Detail oriented and always involve you in decision making. > Highly recommend. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Karin, it was truly a pleasure working with you on your landscape project. We appreciate your review! **★★★★★ — emiller2631, Dec. 2021** > Peter and his crew from Elite are fantastic! They did some landscaping, installed tongue and groove on our patio ceiling and built an incredible outdoor fireplace. Each of the projects exceeded expectations and the finished fireplace is greater than we ever imagined. We have a pool and concrete project for them next spring. They were great at listening to what we wanted and then delivered above our expectations. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Liz, it was truly a pleasure creating your outdoor space. We are excited to work with you on future projects. Thank you for your review! **★★★★★ — Gabe Mackelmore, Jan. 2021** > Definitely one of the best Landscaping Companies Colorado Springs has to offer! I only know of a few contractors like PurelyPonds.com and other big names. Certainly, Elite Landscape belongs to the best of the best! **★★★★★ — holefamily, Sept. 2020** > Elite recently completed the 4th project for us and we couldn't be happier with the results. We wanted to extend the Belgard pavers of our lower deck (installed by a now obsolete company) and Elite is a Belgard Authorized dealer. We love the final results and the skill of the crew that did the work. Peter was great to work with. Adding before and after pictures of the patio extension. > > Elite also brought in 2 very large ponderosa pines 4 years ago to replace 30 foot cedars. The location was tricky but they were able to bring them in and build a berm. The trees are thriving today. Elite also created 2 flagstone sidewalks for us and replaced 7 sprinkler valves. We are planning to use Elite again next spring for additional garden work. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Jan, > > Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to work on your projects throughout the years. Peter has enjoyed working with you on all of your projects! We appreciate the review and kind words. **★★★★★ — Eddie Hackstaff, Sept. 2019** > Outstanding job. On budget and an early finish. We couldn't have asked for a better project manager. Matt was always available and quick to respond. His positive attitude, smile and follow through made this a great experience. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Eddie, > > Thank you so much for your kind review! Matt and the crew loved working with you on your project. We are so glad you are enjoying your space! **★★★★★ — Linda Bush, April 2019** > Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living completed phase 1 of our backyard makeover last fall that included 3 tiers of retaining walls with built in steps between a landing. We've asked them to come back this spring for the next phase. We are so pleased with the results that Tony Ipson, and all the staff - foreman, crew, office staff and designer did. Always professional, very helpful and provided terrific ideas to help craft our vision that is within our budget and time line. We solicited several bids and while not the least expensive, we had a great connection with Tony, got great references, and the quality of the workmanship is the best. We've had neighbors stop by and comment about the work and point out about how clean and tidy the work area was put in order each day. It left a great impression. We would recommend Elite to others looking for a friendly, professional and quality company to help them realize their dream space. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Linda, > > Tony, the crew, and the office staff truly enjoyed working with you and Fred on your landscape projects. We appreciate your kind words. We hope that you will enjoy your new outdoor living space! **★★★★★ — Miriam Whitney, Sept. 2018** > Elite Landscape and Design just completed a retaining wall in my front yard and did an excellent job! I was impressed with Matt's professionalism as well as his efforts to help me find just what I wanted in regard to a compatible brick to match the existing brick on my house. Matt spent a great deal of time discussing the project with me. I appreciated the fact that he always responded to my phone calls when I had a question. The end result and the work his skilled crew did is just beautiful. I checked several other places before hiring Elite and found that with Elite I could get a nicer end result than with other companies who were charging the same amount if not more for the blocks that stack with no masonry whatsoever. I highly recommend Elite. I found Elite to be a totally reliable, trustworthy company that you can feel comfortable working with. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Miriam, > > Thank you for giving Elite the opportunity to install your landscape project! Matt and the crew truly enjoyed working on your project. **★★★★★ — Terry Witherow, March 2018** > Derek and his crew were awesome! They worked dawn to dusk mon - sat. They did a wonderful remodel on my backyard adding a paver patio, a gas firepit and a hot tub. It’s better than I could have imagined. Elite also cleaned up all of the job site, it looks great. Highly recommended! **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Thanks Terry! Derek, the crew and our office staff truly enjoyed working with you both. We hope you enjoy the new outdoor living space! **★★★★★ — Connie Hieb, Aug. 2017** > Great service & work quality you can count on. In our case, since about the early 1990s when our home was recently built and we realized that we needed consistent maintenance with the overall landscaping, including special projects as they developed. We appreciate the weekly lawn mowing and its seasonal fertilization. In addition, we have asked Peter Van and his crews to please complete both a spring and early-winter yard cleanup, including trimming. Recent winters we have added snow plowing of our long driveway to the project list. Elite Landscaping is always responsive to requests and for us, seem to go that extra mile. We very much appreciate their consistency and professionalism in managing our property. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Connie, > > It is truly a pleasure to work with you. We have enjoyed taking care of your yard and creating a beautiful space for you to enjoy! **★★★★★ — Pete Hart, Aug. 2017** > I have had the pleasure of working with Elite in refreshing, fine tuning and maintaining our property in Highlands Ranch, CO. The assessments and recommendations have been thoughtful and well executed, and the prices have been reasonable. Peter and Heidi have been a pleasure to work with throughout and their follow through has been exceptional. I look forward to a long relationship with Elite. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Pete, > > As always, the pleasure is ours. We are so glad that we had the opportunity to work with you and look forward to working with you in the future! **★★★★★ — Mike M, Aug. 2017** > We couldn’t be more pleased with the work Elite did for us! > > Peter and his team were great to work with. From start to finish they displayed the highest professionalism and customer focus. > > We interviewed and received bids from several other landscape companies for our backyard. Peter was the most knowledgeable, offered great ideas and suggestions, and communicated consistently throughout the project. > > Their crew was fantastic. The foreman and crewmembers were incredibly hard workers, not to mention polite, conscientious, and true craftsman. Their team exemplified professionalism throughout the project. > > The final product is impressive. We love showing everyone our new outdoor living space. We highly recommend Peter and his team for any landscape/hardscape/outdoor living space project. **Comment from Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living:** > Mike, > > It was truly a pleasure to work with you as a client.
