Emily L. says, "Alikssa and her team are incredible. We hired her to do a full outdoor remodel, including new native landscaping in the front yard and a pergola and outdoor kitchen in the back. She impressed us from the initial walk-through, asking thoughtful questions and letting us know how the permit process would work. Her bid was competitive with the other 2 we received and the most thoroughly presented. Once we began our project, she handled everything seamlessly, and it was such a positive and stress-free experience. She managed the permits, engineer review, and inspections and always kept us informed about what was happening and what to expect. Her team was there on time every day and they worked efficiently and stayed on schedule. The only delays were related to material availability and inspections. I truly appreciated her communication and transparency, and it felt like our project was a top priority for her. She also finished the project on budget, with the only additional expenses for things we added to the original project, like extra lighting.
There were several uncommon plants I wanted for the front yard, and she scoured local nurseries to find them for me, and had helpful feedback and suggestions for alternatives to the ones that weren't locally available. I felt that she knew her stuff and she was always receptive to my questions and concerns and willing to explain anything I was curious about. She gave honest responses and could tell us the pros and cons of either choice when we needed to make a decision. She did a good job choosing healthy plants at the nursery and picked out especially pretty trees. She also replaced our slippery, ugly stamped concrete driveway and porch with pavers, and they did beautiful work on them.
We get frequent compliments on the front yard from people walking by, and I love going out my front door or driving up to my house now!
We wanted a real all-season outdoor living space, so our backyard installation was complex. Our pergola has seating, heaters, a fan, and an entertainment system. She managed the complicated logistics of doing every step in the right order masterfully, and the electrician was even able to add functionality to the sound system after installation. After the structure was completed, I wanted to add some sun shades. She did research and found a well-reviewed motorized blinds supplier. When I decided on non-motorized ones and had questions about those types, she was able to show me some images of a previous project that had used the brand I was considering, and was so helpful in figuring out the installation logistics needed to order the correct size and configuration. She made sure we understood how to use the apps and remotes for the various systems, like irrigation and lighting, as well. We are loving our outdoor space, even in the cold weather, and I am so happy that it is everything I had wanted and more.
You can trust Alikssa and her team to make your dreams come true, and to do it with dedication, integrity, and friendly, professional communication."See more
