Alderwood Landscape Architecture and Construction

Alderwood Landscaping is a great company. After a couple meetings with Tim, he created an outdoor living space with a courtyard, water feature, and fire pit to compliment our modern/contemporary home. Pat and his crew (Drew, Tacho, and Tyler) were professional and worked hard every day. It only took us 6 weeks to complete our project. We are very happy with our final product and our water feature is a stunning piece of art (they created a water cascade from a trilogy of columnar basalt rocks)

It's rare to work with a team of people who values their craftsmanship, customer satisfaction, integrity and loves what they do. My experience with Alderwood has been outstanding from day one to completion. They transformed my backyard that was boring, unusable and full of drainage issues, into a modern japanese inspired garden that is truly a backyard retreat for my family and friends. Tim and Johnny, the architects did a great job laying out their vision and collaborating with us personalize the plans, and provided full guidance from a plant pallete to furniture and color selections. They labored through various approval HOA issues on my behalf and was in contact throughout the entire project. Craig and his landscaping team worked hard through many weeks with attention to detail. They were always friendly, on time, considerate and very proactive in helping out. Their sub-contractors for the patio structure (Jeff) and masonry (Kurt) were amazing as well. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone. Well done Alderwood, and thank you for the great work and for making this family feel taken cared of.

We had a great experience with Alderwood. We worked with Tim to design a new landscape, pavilion and fireplace area for our backyard. Patrick was the onsite PM and was awesome to work with. He and his crew were courteous and professional. They worked super hard to meet their deadlines and produced great quality. Alderwood also brought in a third party builder for the pavilion who also did great work. We are very happy with the result.

Team ALDERWOOD is the best in class! We worked with Tim Glass and Alderwood early this year with the design for our backyard resort. Tim was super patient with us and really listened to our wants. We could not be happier with the final result - which includes is an icelandic style water feature, nature hedge, aquaqip swim spa and a completely redone backyard. Alderwood did an amazing job with our backyard. Not only we were impressed with their exceptional workmanship, the whole team was extremely courteous and accommodating thru the project. We were extremely impressed with quality of work. Our experience was extremely positive from start to finish. Huge shout out to Tim, Nick, Jose, Matt, Dana and everyone involved in the project.

Kudos to a team of true professionals! Tim worked hard to create a space that would fit my special needs (wheelchair bound), Johnny was super helpful along the way guiding me through the process and Pat, the onsite PM, was phenomenal. The whole team was great but seeing Pat's smiling face and "can-do" attitude each day was great. I felt very taken care of. The attention to detail was over the top! I highly recommend this company. Couldn't be happier.

Alderwood Landscaping did an amazing job with our backyard. We had turf installed, a sport court, pavers and many many shrubs, trees and lighting. It turned out amazing. Exactly like the plans that Tim designed! Patrick and Drew were our onsite contacts and they made it so easy for me to know what was going on and what was coming next. They have a warranty program and our grass developed snow spots and they are going to replace the grass with new sod since grass seed didn't take. Though they may take awhile to do this they offer this warranty program so the customer can rest assured their yard will look great even if plants/grass don't take due to the weather initially.

We worked with Tim Glass and Alderwood over a couple of years to come up with the design for our backyard resort. Tim was super patient with us and really listened to our wants. We could not be happier with the final result - which includes Pool, hard landscaping with beautiful natural stone, repositioning our hot tub to take advantage of our views and an outdoor kitchen and fire pit. The team was awesome and worked fantastically with other contractors - special shout out here to how they worked with Aquaquip on the pool.

We hired Alderwood to complete a backyard renovation with two important goals in mind: more privacy and better use of a yard that was mostly sloped. Although we could have gone with a less expensive company we chose Alderwood for what we hoped would be a stress free experience and beautiful result, and they did not disappoint. Their work is absolutely stunning; this is a company that takes great pride in creating a truly beautiful landscape. A high level of professionalism and courteousness runs through this entire company, and we greatly appreciated this. When our project ran up against what had the potential to be a big problem, Tim and the construction crew quickly figured out a way to resolve the issue - and we didn’t even know about it until a solution had already been found! Tim is an excellent designer with a very discerning eye. He will zero in on any detail that isn’t quite right and make it beautiful. We cannot wait to see how the trees he selected will mature and fill the landscape over time. While Tim is the visionary, Alderwood’s construction crew are the talented professionals who bring the design to life. They work very long days in sometimes challenging weather and they always make sure to leave the working area clean and organized when they are done. Thank you Patrick and crew for such excellent work! We are so looking forward to enjoying many years in our beautiful backyard. Thank you Alderwood!

Alderwood did a fantastic job for us starting with the great design work done by Tim followed by several months of outstanding work by the construction team. Nick was great to work with as the day to day lead - talented, creative, responsive, reliable, excellent communicator. José is a real craftsman and Matt and Mike did excellent work day in and day out, always pleasant; there was great attention to detail by everyone on the team. Johnny was excellent with budget and schedule management, change orders and issue resolution. I specially appreciated how effectively and seamlessly the Alderwood team worked with our general contractor and pool contractor on related projects. Alderwood is great; don't hesitate to hire them for your project; you will not be disappointed.

We hired Alderwood to complete our recent landscaping project. They did a fabulous job. From site review, architectural design, construction to clean up they were very detailed and excellent to work with. We would definitely recommend them for your large landscaping project.

After researching several landscapers, we settled on Alderwood Landscaping and we are so glad we did. Professionalism from top to the bottom of the company. Not only was I impressed with their exceptional workmanship, the whole team was extremely courteous and accommodating thru the project. My neighbors were always commenting how friendly, helpful and hard working the guys were. Everyday they cleaned up and I never felt like I had to stay on of the top project because Mike and Seth’s teams never cut corners. They always gave me updates, asked questions and sent pictures as they moved thru the project...basically treating my project/home like it was theirs. They are top notch group of guys “finish carpenters of landscaping”. Plain and simply this company does beautiful work!

This is a long one, so here’s the bottom line: these guys are highly professional, dedicated, responsive, experienced individuals who will bend over backwards to create your dream outdoor space. The nitty gritty—We contacted these guys in July 2017 to discuss our project involving a large covered stone patio, water feature, hot tub, and fire pit. About a week later we met with architect Tim Glass who we ended up meeting with 4 more times over the next 2 months to finalize our dream concept. While concessions had to be made in order to accommodate our budget, all the features we wanted ended up being included in some form or another. Tim doesn’t cut corners just to get a design done. He really takes the time to work and rework his plan in order to make you 100% happy. Once we approved the design and paid a hefty deposit, work was scheduled to start the week before Thanksgiving. That’s when we met the best workers and human beings we’ve gotten to meet in our lives. Our assigned team of builders showed up everyday by 7:30 am and worked daily until after dark. Seth (aka Cuddly Pitbull), the project manager, isn’t just a outstanding builder. He’s a true gentleman, an artist, a guy who takes pride in his work, a joy to have around. He and his sidekicks Collin (aka The Flash) and Jordan (aka Johnny Depp) worked steadily in the rain and the cold with the most positive attitude. I would sometimes interrupt them in the middle of challenging work to request that a certain thing be done a certain way and they would happily comply. Their energy and composure in harsh weather conditions were truly inspirational. Our project was completed in 6 weeks, quicker than expected. They left everything spotless, which was no small feat considering how muddy the whole situation had been. The result was mind blowing. Not only did everything look beautiful, but it was DONE RIGHT. No more drainage issues or poorly located sprinkler heads. The materials used make everything a breeze to maintain. We enjoyed having these guys around so much, it was hard to see them leave. The supervisory team was equally outstanding. Johnny Struiksma was in charge of communication and supervision. Not only would he stop by the job site on a regular basis, he was easy to reach via email and responded to our inquiries within a couple of hours. On the rare occasion that he wasn’t available, Dann Van Hook would step in for him. Johnny also took care of communicating with the subcontractors on our behalf, which relieved us of ay additional burden. Work and payment schedules were always communicated to us clearly, and always in writing. Towards the end of the project, Johnny emailed to make sure we didn’t have any final requests and that everything was done to our liking. It’s now been a few months since the project was completed and we LOVE our backyard. We spend more time in our outdoor space than inside, rain or shine. Alderwood is simply the best builder we’ve ever worked with and it’s heartwarming these days to know that there are still people out there who take pride in their work are not just out to make a quick buck. Sure, it was an expensive project, but we got our money’s worth and then some.
