### All 10 reviews

**★★★★★ — Orion Rockscapes, Dec. 2019**

> We thoroughly enjoyed making an Exteriorscapes landscape design come to life last winter.  Their selection of natural boulders combined with sleek concrete pavers aligned with our construction services.

**★★★★★ — Gwen Weinberg, Feb. 2018**

> I cannot say enough great things about Exteriorscapes. We had them build a brick driveway for us more than a decade ago, which is still holding up beautifully today, and then last summer had them completely revamp our front yard, with a wood deck, stone patio, cascading planters, and moss hills. The project began collaboratively, with their interpreting our needs and design requests perfectly to meet our budget and particular landscape, adding creative ideas and solutions. They kept the project on schedule and on budget. We are so pleased with the result, we spent much more time outside than ever before... it's as if we have a whole new home.

**★★★★★ — Dorothy Corry, Feb. 2018**

> We hired Exteriorscapes to design and install the landscaping for our new house. Cameron and his crew were great to work with. Throughout the project they listened to our ideas, interests, and concerns with the result that we now have beautiful outdoor spaces that we enjoy year round.
>
> Thank you Exteriorscapes!

**★★★★★ — Jan Hasbrouck, Jan. 2018**

> I wanted to do a major "re-do" of my yard-- all new plantings in the front, sides, and back yards, plus a new fence, deck, and walkways.  Exteriorscapes was recommended to me for this project, and I am so glad I ended up working with them.  Everything was excellent, from my first meeting with the owner (Cameron Scott, who is delightful to work with and extremely responsive to any questions or requests), to my work with the design team, and the crew who actually did the work, which continued over several months. The crew who came every day worked so hard and diligently.  I actually enjoyed having them working around my home.  The results are gorgeous.  I have a terrific new fence and deck, lovely walkways, a backyard fire pit, a gurgling fountain and gorgeous plants and trees that will only get better over the next few years as they mature.  I HIGHLY recommend Exteriorscapes.  You can likely find less expensive landscapers but you won't get this level of quality and attention.

**★★ — User, Aug. 2016**

> My husband and I met with Julie, the landscape maintenance manager for  Exteriorscapes,
> at our house to preview the job. She was nice and attentive, and ask what out budget was for bi weekly service for both the lawn, and plant bed care.  She said that was workable and that they had a spot available on their schedule for the following week, as we wanted someone soon.  We were promised the official quick proposal within a few days.  After a few days past, and hadn't heard from her, emailed her for the reminder.  Julie quickly got back to me saying that they could not service our landscape needs within our specified budget, for the bi weekly service. So then I asked to go just monthly, and their proposal came.  It was way more than we could afford.  So then we decided to forgo the lawn service and just take care of the plant beds, going bi monthly.  That cost came out to almost $1,000.00 for a few hours of work every other month.  This whole process dragged on for over three weeks.  So, I've come away with the following about this company.
> They have no problem wasting people's time, they charge exorbitant prices, and their service is NOT a good value for what they are willing to do.
> There are other good companies out there that do not charge what they do.  But they do have a pretty website.

**Comment from CSDesign llc:**

> We were a bit taken back with this review since she never used our services and all we did was provide free estimates, which do take time for us to prepare. We take clients budgets very seriously and do our best to provide quality service at a fair price. We hire trained horticulturists and experienced gardeners and provide continuous training throughout the year. This potential client had been using a “mow, blow and go” company for their property and were unhappy with their quality of service. We provided an estimate for services to meet their wants and, of course, it was higher than they had been paying. We provided two additional estimates with different scope in an effort to meet their budget. We have been in business 22 years and pride ourselves on making our clients happy and addressing their concerns, so it is frustrating to receive a review from someone that never used our services, except our free estimating.

**★★★★★ — winpfa, Dec. 2014**

> I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Cameron and his entire Exteriorscapes team for many years now, since 2002! He did a complete re-design of the hardscape of my yard taking into account the layout of the house, maximizing accessibility and showcasing the view of the sound. Over the years and many visits of friends and service folks, the yard never fails to get compliments!
>
> A few years after the hardscaping was done, Cameron and team took on the daunting project of replacing the original deck, significantly adding to it and thereby making the connection complete between the house and the yard enabling a flow around and into the house from all sides of the property. At the same time they replaced an old boring fence, extending it in two directions, beautifully complementing the landscaping and the deck.
>
> His use of natural stone for multiple low walls, courtyards and walkways never fail to receive comments and questions from visitors on who did the work! His inclusion of a low-key water feature in the courtyard of the main entrance to the house has been a haven for years for birds taking baths, raccoons cleaning their food and the local cats stopping off for a quick drink on their rounds.
>
> Over the last five years Cameron and team came to the rescue after there was a small landslide on my property. They worked diligently with the City of Edmonds while bringing in a stellar Geotech firm, Structural Engineer, Biologist, Survey Engineers and a pile Driving company to stabilize the slope, restore a boardwalk/deck and to ensure my house is protected from further soil erosion and slides. The work they did was even commented on in glowing terms by the Biologist in his report to the City of Edmonds as part of the required permitting process. Since the work was completed late this spring, there have been several major rain storms, saturating the soil causing many slides in areas around me while my slope has held!
>
> Cameron always provides detailed bids and is open to questions and suggestions. He works in a collaborative manner which I greatly appreciate. With the last multi-year project to maintain and preserve the slope on the south side of my home, he took into careful consideration budgetary limitations, always working closely with me on resources being brought onto the team along with working diligently to ensure that the City of Edmonds permitting process and review went as quickly and smoothly as feasible.
>
> He and Exteriorscapes are my go-to company for any changes or work I need on my yard, deck, fence and slope. I am always mentioning the when I have new visitors to the house as I give them a tour of the fabulous yard I have because of him and his team! Many pictures of the projects Cameron has worked on for me have been on, and remain scattered throughout his website.

**★★★★★ — jobit1, Dec. 2014**

> I have removed my review as it was for a prior iteration of this company. I am not able to opine on the current organization.

**★★★★★ — sekanode, Dec. 2014**

> Our experience in working with Cameron and his staff at Exteriorscapes, LLC was positive throughout the planning phase and the two months they came to our home.  Their professional skills, knowledge, and execution of our landscape design was superior.  All staff members consistently conveyed a warm, engaging attitude, demonstrating respectful effective communication.  They were easy going, relaxed, and delightful to work with.
>
> Cameron worked with us by compromising and collaborating in a few areas to facilitate the commencement of our project.  Exteriorscapes completed their work within the expected budget and within the time frame they predicted even with three work change orders.  We live on the Olympic Peninsula, some distance from Exteriorscapes main office; Exteriorscapes staff never complained about the working arrangements and schedule to make our landscape design project a reality.  Matt, as the project manager, and Will, skilled stone/mason, were conscientious and precise paying close attention to details in their work.
>
> Cameron placed approximately 20 large granite boulders throughout the yard.  To create privacy he installed a large berm, removed all of the grass except for a small area, and reshaped the elevations utilizing heavy equipment.  He extended a portion of the yard by using several of the large granite boulders as retainers to hold added soil and compost.  Cameron consistently worked to create the effect we were striving for in this major landscape project.
>
> Through Matt and Will's work three rain gardens were installed in addition to revamping the majority of the yard by changing elevations, adding a flagstone patio, creating crushed granite pathways, installing two off-road permeable parking areas, a turn around, and preparing two structure bases one for a 14' x 16' garden shed, the other for a 12' x 10' tea house, which would be built upon completion of Exteriorscapes' work.  Due to unpredictable elevation discrepancies in the our landscape design, Matt and Will skillfully added granite risers creating three steps and adding a few smaller rocks to readjust the plan, which made the look of the yard design aesthetically pleasing and fluid.  The collective years of experience between the staff assigned to this project made the difference between an average project outcome to an excellent one.
>
> Between my husband and myself, I was the primary decision maker for this project.  There were times   I did not understand the direction they were going in or I had questions concerning the outcome of the work; all the staff skillfully guided me in visualizing various options and they helped lead me to a conclusion that was cohesive with the printed design.  I really appreciated their expertise and ability to communicate their vision, we truly worked as a team.
>
> We continue to receive numerous complements on our yard because of the beautiful changes that have taken place.  Even though I have not completed all of my planned planting, the landscape structure gives a new feel to the yard, it is the cake.  All the plants will be the icing on the cake.  It is a yummy cake indeed.  We are excited, satisfied, and thankful we hired Cameron and his excellent team at Exteriorscapes.  We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to make changes to their yard.

**★★★★★ — fishforwine, Jan. 2014**

> We would like to thank Exteriorscapes for the wonderful experience associated with our recently completed landscaping project.  Cameron and the team were true professionals and partners throughout the entire project.  Our appreciation of the results increases every day!
>
> I would whole heartily recommend Exteriorscapes to anyone.  We were impressed with the creativity, problem solving, and project management all while maintaining our project budget.  The on-site team also deserves accolades for their professionalism and warm, enjoyable approach to their jobs.  It reinforced to us the dedication they have to ensuring the client is satisfied with the job from beginning to end.  We can't wait to use Exteriorscapes again.

**★★★★★ — psseattle7, Oct. 2013**

> We hired Exteriorscapes to turn our boring and sad backyard into a Zen meets Pacific Northwest sanctuary, having no real idea how it could be done or time to figure it out, and they made it happen! During the design phase, I felt that the team did an excellent job listening to our vague inputs and responding with suggestions that fit. We had a sloped yard with some areas that were overgrown and inaccessible. They came up with a unique design using Cor-ten steel walls to create simple terraces, which ultimately made our yard look bigger and much more usable. During the construction phase, the team excelled by being punctual, courteous, and cleaning up after themselves without fail every night. Finally, they did a fantastic job during the plant selection and installation, again having great intuition about what we were looking for and then pulling it all together. Other awesome highlights included a unique treehouse for our daughter clad in upcycled fence boards, amazing and well-established plants for the entire front and back yards, various cool walking paths throughout the property, a beautiful new fence, and custom made shoji-type screens around our patio that add a diffused glow of light to our outdoors living space. All around, we couldn't be happier with Exteriorscapes. Communications and project documentations were great, everything was top quality and worth the price, and the team was flexible to meet us when we could per our busy family schedule.

## Community Q&A

**Q: where did you get the corten planters or are they custom? thanks** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: We custom design all of our cor-ten elements.

**Q: May I ask how you curved the metal and what gauge it is?  Thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: It is 1/4" and we had the steel rolled. The client wanted a whimsical courtyard to do yoga in, so there is a deck and patio on the other side with a 3000 gallon cistern underneath!

**Q: Flexibility of 1/2" Corten** *(in Photo Questions)*

Thanks so much. Is the material flexible enough to bend onsite and weld or did you need to have the curves pre-formed by a metal shop?  We're working on something similar and hoping to have some flexibility in the layout as it'll be a collaborative process with the homeowner. 

Thanks so much !  Eric

A: You have to have it rolled. Even 1/4" will be difficult to form on site.

**Q: is this 1/4" corten steel?  it looks fantastic!** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This is 1/2", any thinner and it doesn't hold the curves as well.
Thank you for the compliment :)

**Q: material for plant beds** *(in Photo Questions)*

what is the material used in the curved planting beds and where can it be purchased?

A: It is Cor-ten Steel. Talk to your local steel supplier.

**Q: what color is the stain on this deck and what looks like cedar siding?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: This is Ipe with Penofin Ultra - Transparent Sierra
