Custom Water Feature Companies in Boise

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a great experience working with Alderwood Landscaping and Dillon on our landscaping project. From day one, Dillon did exactly what he said he would do. The crew showed up on the exact day they promised and remained focused on our project until it was completed. We never felt like they were trying to rush through the work to get to the next job. What really stood out was their commitment to customer satisfaction. Dillon was always more concerned about making sure we were happy with the final result than simply checking a box and calling the project complete. He took the time to listen to our feedback and made sure every detail was right. Even after the project was finished, Dillon didn’t hesitate to come back and make a few adjustments we requested. That level of responsiveness and professionalism is hard to find and speaks volumes about the pride he takes in his work. The quality of the work, communication throughout the project, and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a landscaping contractor who is reliable, stands behind his work, and genuinely cares about his customers, I highly recommend Alderwood Landscaping.”

“Working with Chuck has been a pleasure. Despite the challenge of our large rural property Chuck incorporated our practical needs with aesthetic features we would never have imagined . We now have an amazing concept and user friendly plans that we are excited to begin. He is knowledgeable, precise, and works well within set budgets, all while being personable and available for questions throughout the process. The highlight was showing our family the cd, our children and grand children were so impressed they are already planning events and activities before we have even broken ground! We will happily work with Chuck in the future.”

“We contacted Will Howard at Stack Rock last summer when we decided to remove the landscape provisions from the builder's contract for our custom home in Eagle and hire a landscape architect to do the work right. At that point we were behind the 8-ball for time frames with only three months to home occupancy and so it put Will, Krisjan and Jesse, the three people we worked with at Stack Rock, in that same position. We were grateful to all of them for the top notch design that addressed challenges due to lot arrangement and also that my husband and I, having had three custom homes and landscape designs done in the past in other states, had specific preferences for plant materials but also needed expert input from the Stack Rock folks on what works here. We also needed to achieve privacy on sides as the lot is narrow and our home was right at setbacks, but also to keep open outlooks to the Greenbelt behind our home and Bogus to the east as the lot is deep. Since I have MS and need to have accessible surfaces and minimal slopes and cross slopes on pathways, those all had to be factored into the design as well; my husband and I had absolute confidence in the Stack Rock team to get that right and they did. Within a couple of weeks of our first meeting Stack Rock delivered three or four creative conceptual plans for the landscape design, all organically related to the house and setting and yet all unique from each other. We choose the plan we liked best and they worked to bring it from concept to a biddable design in the next six weeks. (As aside I'll note that the general contractor said when he submits landscape plans to this HOA for approval, as required, he receives feedback that is "change this" or a simple "OK" in response. He went out of his way to say that for the Stack Rock plan the HOA feedback was "This is great!" with exclamation included.) Stack Rock also did an excellent job of managing the bidding process with three quality landscape construction firms they recommended, new to the area we would have been lost without their direction on this, and we were absolutely delighted with the landscape company we choose, Sterling (see separate review), as a result of Will's recommendation to have them on the bid list. As part of the contract with Stack Rock we also chose project coordination services and in that piece they also did a great job of working with Sterling when needed during the construction. There are key learnings in every project and so I'll offer those here as well. As it relates to the design for plant expertise, that went swimmingly well and was uber-easy at points where Will was personally involved. It took perhaps more time than it might have when a more junior member of the team was on his own given the breadth of plant materials my husband and I were interested in using. Also, we set what we all thought was a reasonable budget in our first meeting with Will and Krisjan. During the design process, at each step and meeting my husband asked the Stack Rock contact doing the design "how is this working with our budget" and assured all was well. Right before the design was to be packaged for bid, when Will was able to review it in detail, we found we were in fact a good amount over budget and needed to make a few key revisions. Thanks to Will's expertise the revisions were able to be made in short order, although it would have been ideal to have the budget factored in at each step of the design's evolution. This was likely just a function of the member assigned to our project being in learning mode, everyone is at some point in our careers, and Stack Rock being so busy that Will's focus was elsewhere. The important outcome was we were delivered a great design that did come in on budget when all was complete. This is a young firm with the energy, creativity and unflappable "can do" spirit that comes with that. We anticipate Will and his team are going to be major players in landscape architecture in the Treasure Valley for many years to come. We would definitely work with Stack Rock again. As final note; Houzz asks for an approximate project cost as part of review format. The cost noted is for the total landscape project, factoring in both Stack Rock's design work and Sterling's construction work. This was one great team!”
