My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

We couldn't be more happier with the results from Alderland Pools & Landscaping! We hired them to help design our backyard and front yard project with pool, decking and hardscape, and the experience from start to finish was fantastic. Their designer, Aaron, was an absolute pleasure to work with. He truly listened to our vision and translated our ideas into a stunning, functional design that perfectly suits our lifestyle. His communication was excellent; he was professional, incredibly creative, and was very responsive to all our questions. The quality of work is outstanding, and the process was smooth and efficient. We would highly recommend Aaron and Alderland Pools & Landscaping to anyone looking to create their dream outdoor space.

What a seamless communication and design process! Aaron was very responsive and calming as we entered into phases of uncertain design decisions; he guided us and met our needs with his expertise and knowledge. We are just entering the next phase of determining our installation team and will give the team very careful consideration. They are wonderful to work with. Thanks to Don and Aaron for their creative efforts.

My husband and I chose Alderland through a friend referral and backed up by the company's online reviews. We were in need of landscaping for our entire 1.15 acre property. Don and his team worked with us through the entire design process, which included a tricky hillside. He was able to keep the natural look we were going for as well. Don was able to stay within budget and finished our project on time. I even called with a water emergency (that turned out main water pipe burst to our house and wasn't a landscaping pipe) and he came out within hours with a team member and fixed it for us the day after Christmas! I highly recommend Alderland and his team!

Don and his team have done an amazing job on my entire landscape overhaul. I added all new pavers and updated the wooden deck area to and existing deck, removed an old outdated hot tub and turned that area into another deck area, resurfaced an existing pool, and redid the entire front landscaping. Their work is exceptional. They respond quickly to any questions/concerns/requests I had. Everyday when they left for the day, they clean up and left my yard neat and tidy. I highly recommend the Adler Group for any project big or small.

Don and the team did an excellent job on constructing my pool and spa. For me, I was building my house at the same time, which means it requires coordination and patience. Don was patient enough to work with me through the project. He is honest, the contract we signed was a couple years ago right around the time I started my new house build, but during this pandemic, materials and labor cost has been increased. Don was able to absorb some of the cost and be honest on where the increase was significant and pass me the added cost directly from his sub. Most importantly, the quality of the project was good, they used high quality materials, didn’t cut corners, and craftsmanship was also top-notch. This is verified by my landscaping contractor and my pool service guy, they all appreciated the quality of material and work which I think also made their jobs easier. It’s a pleasure working with Don, very easy to communicate and always try to make things work at his earliest!

Finding a reliable contractor is not easy. After interviewing several candidates for renovating our backyard, we selected the Alder Group. Don prepared the plans for our renovation. Don Vivatson was very knowledgeable, open to our suggestions and needs, and we relied on his experience and taste in selecting the vendors and materials. His crew were both skilled and efficient and paid particular attention to details. We enjoy our beautiful outdoor kitchen and large firepit with family and friends. We highly recommend the Alder Group to anyone who is planning to build or renovate their backyard.

Don and his crew did an amazing remodel of our backyard! From start to finish there was professionalism and a commitment to a beautiful result. We added a hot tub to our pool, replaced all of the old concrete with pavers, added a seat wall, re-landscaped and put in lighting. Don had great ideas, like a barbecue pad and light, and had such a beautiful plan for the landscaping and lighting. He kept the project moving in a timely manner and was responsive to our questions and requests. We have worked with several contractors in the past and were definitely impressed with The Alder Group. Highly recommend!

Don just finished a complete renovation of our front and back yard and it looks amazing! When we bought the house last year it had an empty pool and old overgrown landscape. Our original plan was was to remodel the pool and refresh the landscape. We got quotes and interviewed multiple companies but decided to hire Don because he had great reviews, had done amazing projects, and we felt comfortable after talking with him. It was also a big plus that he could do both the pool and landscape so we didn’t have to deal with multiple companies. After getting started we discovered that the pool had structural issues and our project morphed into removing it altogether and building a large retaining wall in its place. Don helped us through the architects, engineers, and the permit process. His crew and foreman were extremely hardworking, friendly and reliable. Even when we had to change course, we always felt that Don’s pricing was fair and he never took advantage of the situation. By the end we fully trusted Don’s recommendations and let him implement his vision. The results speak for themselves and we wouldn’t hesitate hiring Alder again.

This team is second to none! We contracted the Adler Group for a complete package, from design through construction for a complete remodel of our back yard....landscape, pool, pavers lighting, drainage.... This team is respectful, easy to work with and very experienced. As project go, changes come to mind and they are open to listening and working with you for the ultimate outcome. I highly recommend the Alder Group for you next project. We love our new yard!

Don has been wonderful to work with. He is incredibly responsive and attentive. We worked with him and his architect/designer to do a high level design for our project upfront and it was super helpful to make our key design and layout decisions.
