We had Epicscapes come out and change out our edging to brick pavers. Their prices are reasonable and they are great to work with. We appreciate that the project was done in a timely manner and we are very happy with the results. We would recommend Epicscapes for any landscaping needs

Mike and Jason exceeded my expectations in every way. Mike listened to my ideas, came up with practical solutions and completed the job within budget. Not easy these days. They were here when they said they'd be here, worked so efficiently. To say they transformed a blah backyard is an understatement. The best compliment perhaps is they will be back in the Spring for additional landscaping. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I hired EpicScapes do both construction, land clearing and a front yard designed and installed by them, all completed within 2 weeks. They showed up when they were scheduled, were considerate of my neighbour's and street traffic and gave me clear pricing which was restructured as I decided to do the work in phases. Michael was patient and understanding and offered several ideas that were critical work arounds when dealing with Whatcom County. (And they clean up real good!). Thanks Mike for being awesome all the way. Will be hiring you again very soon.
EPICSCAPES LLC's reply
Thank you so much for the review Cecile! And thank you for the lunches, breakfast, and all the goodies you kept stocked for us during the project, that meant a lot to the crew. Working through the phases with you and figuring out the Whatcom County side of things for the culvert install and rehabilitation was a fun process, and we’re so happy with how the front yard turned out. We feel genuinely blessed to have had the opportunity to do such an epic job for you. Looking forward to coming back and getting that Flagstone installed.
Mike, EpicScapes

Mike showed up on time and was able to address all of my sprinkler problems quickly and effectively. His price was reasonable and Ill definitely have him back for a tune up and other projects. Highly recommend him for any sprinkler or lawn project.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
You may see apps like this push contractors to list flat prices, but honest excavation and landscape construction doesn't work that way. Every property is different, and pricing depends on the job, the site conditions, access, materials, and complexity. What we can promise: estimates are free, and your price is clear and written down before any work starts. No surprise fees. We'll come walk the property with you, and for some projects we can even give you an estimate over a video call. If the full project doesn't fit your budget right now, we're happy to design it in phases so you get real results now and work toward the finished vision over time. You'll always know what a phase costs before we start it.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It starts with a conversation. Reach out, tell us what you're dealing with or dreaming about, and we'll talk through the property, your goals, and your budget. Then we come walk the site with you (or do a video walkthrough for some projects) and follow up with a clear written estimate. Once you give the go-ahead, we schedule the work, show up when we say we will, and keep you in the loop the whole way through. When the work is done, we walk the finished project with you and make sure you love it. And we clean up real good. A customer said that in a review, and we're keeping it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My education is 25+ years of hands-on work: equipment operation, excavation, grading, drainage and culvert work, rock and boulder retaining walls, deck and structure builds, and finish landscaping. In this trade the ground is the classroom, and I've spent decades learning what holds up through Northwest winters and what doesn't. EPICSCAPES is a Washington registered contractor, reg #EPICSL*741L2, which you can verify yourself on the state L&I website, along with our bond and insurance on file with the state.
