Brian Breed and the team at Designscapes were exceptional! The quality of the architectural drawings and the craftsmanship dedicated to the build were unparalleled in excellence. The projects extended from hardscape design and build of stone patios, outdoor fireplaces, a beautiful stone fire pit and most recently a complete rebuild of outdoor stone grill and counter. Truly the best crew ever. On time, at or below estimated cost. Designscapes and Brian Breed are absolutely the team to employ.

After meeting with another landscape design firm, we contacted Designscapes to discuss the landscaping at our new custom home. Holly Terry met with us and we immediately knew that we would be working with her and the team at Designscapes. Holly listened to what my wife and I wanted out of the project and then created a beautiful full lot design for us. We relied upon her expertise in the selection of plants, trees, shrubs, boulders, etc and have been incredibly pleased with the results. In addition to designing the landscape plan, Holly was on site to map out the design in the dirt ( we had several on site meetings with her) and participated along with the crew on “planting day”. Holly saw the project through to the end and beyond! We were so impressed with her and the team at Designscapes, we signed up for the maintenance plan, Christmas light installation, and snow removal service. They do it all and do it well!

Our initial contact with Designscapes Colorado was with Kaitlyn Davis who contacted us soon after we submitted a request online. She scheduled our consultation a little over two weeks after our contact on June 5th - which was no problem. When the designer (Holly Terry) arrived on June 22nd it took less than 20 minutes for her to scope our property and talk with us about what we wanted - we expected more, but I trusted her as the professional. Holly requested we provide her a plot plan - which we supplied prior to her departure. She then stated it would take 3 weeks for her to provide a design and quote. It's been 5 weeks since we meet with Holly; we've attempted to contact her several times via email, the main office and her personal cell, but she has not responded. It's unfortunate this has been our experience. We feel disrespected and disregarded. We contacted Designscapes because we were in desperate need and we waited patiently for a quote and design. If they had no intention on landscaping our property a phone call or email letting us know would have been appreciated. Hopefully we can find a new designer who can landscape our front yard before October.

Comment from Designscapes Colorado Inc.:
As the Owner of Designscapes Colorado, I wanted to tell you that I'm very sorry that your experience with our team didn't go as you had hoped. We strive to make every client a priority, and unfortunately were not able to show you our best work. It is not our standard policy to ignore future clients, and no excuse will properly explain why this situation slipped through the cracks. We will nevertheless, take your comments and review how we handle the scope and scale of projects such as yours and continue to make improvements with our staff and policies. Thank you. - Phil Steinhauer

Thank you so much. You guys are the BEST!! Everything looks beautiful and the guys did an amazing job. They got everything done that we needed and even did extra things with out being asked like cleaning up some dirt in the street that had washed down with the rain. Everyone is so polite and they are such hard workers. Thank you for always taking care of everything for us with little notice!
With great appreciation!!

Designscapes is great. The entire staff is so helpful. Compared to a lot of their projects, I am sure that our residential plan was not a huge account, but they treated us like we their most important customer. Phil was personally available to help us with every aspect of our project and even went pot and planter shopping with me! Very rare for an owner of a company like Designscapes to be so attentive. They desigend an incredible fireplace and pergola in addtition to all of our landscape and design. The entire project turned out fantastic. We highly recommend them.

We bought a new home and the team from Designscapes helped us with the design of our backyard. They drew up a wonderful design that included the waterfall and picked all the beautiful plants that now are in full bloom. Their team of completed our backyard in just a few days!! We were thrilled with the way our backyard looks! They were awesome with follow up and guaranteed all the plants and their work. The next summer we had them come out and relandscape our front yard!!! We would totally recommend them.

After 20+ years, it was time to upgrade and overhaul significant portions of our antiquated, patchwork sprinkler system. Designscapes has performed other landscape work for us, so we asked them to do the sprinkler system work as well. Oscar was in charge of this project and did a magnificent job. He has an extensive knowledge of plant materials and sprinkler systems. Oscar was careful, thorough and meticulous. He matched sprinkler heads and types to the water needs of the plants served. He made sure that all of the planted areas were getting sufficient water coverage. We could not be more pleased with the finished product. Thank you, Oscar, for a great job!

Designscapes managed our property for 7 years in Greenwood Village, doing many
beautiful landscape additions and regular maintenance. We were always happy with their customer service and quality work.
Most recently they designed our entire new property
in Denver, both the landscape and hardscape. We love our brick and bluestone patio's with the gorgeous fire pit. We cannot say enough great things about their professional and creative staff - everyone is wonderful to work with and we absolutely love our new yard and
gardens. It looks like it has been here forever! Phil is doing great things with Designscapes
and we would recommend them to anyone!

Phil and his colleagues designed a beautiful high plains/xeriscape garden for our home in the foothills of Colorado. Both softscape and hardscape design and implementation reveal Designscapes' quality and expertise. Always honest and professional. When doing landscaping remember , Mother Nature has a way of altering and directing your plans!

We're original owners of a "semi-custom" home built in the early 90's. For nearly 20 years we had a cookie-cutter front yard -- bluegrass, one tree, builder front porch.
In 2012 -- the hottest summer on record for the Denver area -- we decided to break the mold in the neighborhood and xeriscape the yard. Phil and Designscapes came highly recommended and we now see why. Our yard is no longer cookie-cutter or boring in any way! New driveway, redesigned front porch that is safer and easier to navigate, xeriscape groundcovers that are more beautiful than bluegrass now provide a lovely welcoming entrance to our home. We've added a water feature and seating this summer, along with pots full of flowering annuals.
As expected, we had a few plants that didn't make it through the winter, but they were promptly replaced under Designscapes' warranty this summer.
I can't recommend a company more highly. I'm sure they aren't the least expensive. I am sure they produced the highest value for our money and I can't wait to do the back yard!
