We had so many mature trees with above ground roots that we needed landscaping help with. They did a fantastic job designing landscape and implementing it. The finished project exceeded our expectations!

Visited for the first time around mid-late summer last year and was surprised at the selection of healthy plants. I’ve even talked with helpful staff about various things on growing certain varieties in Alaska for our lawn.

I’m eagerly waiting on them to open this season so that I can take some home.

This is an update 1 year after my original review to again praise the work and expediency of Faltz Team and in particular, Storm Faltz. When our project was completed last fall, some of the tall grasses we wanted were unavailable as it was late in the season. However, the Faltz Team had installed place-holder plants to be replaced the following spring. When I contacted Faltz, I was directed to Storm Faltz, son of the owner, Jamie Faltz. Storm was fully aware of the need to replace the place-holder plants and arranged to meet us to discuss and confirm what grasses we wanted and where they would be placed. Shortly after our meeting, a crew was dispatched along with Storm who coached us on plant locations and outlined the crew. Not only did they replace the place-holder plants, they planted several extra, types of grasses that significantly enhanced the overall appearance of our yard. Furthermore, Storm reminded us to call him if any of the new plants died or became distressed so they could again replace them!

We again were extremely pleased with the professionalism, neatness and knowledge of the entire Faltz Team and highly recommend them as your landscape designers, installers and maintainers. Thanks Storm!

Original Review: My wife and I solicited quotes from 3 other landscaping companies before settling on Faltz Landscaping. The 3 others met us at our home and listened to our ideas and took measurements of the areas to be landscaped. Within a week we received quotes from two of the other companies that simply parroted back our ideas without any design drawings or detail. The third company jerked us around for 3 additional weeks before telling us they were too busy and gave us a baseless and wildly expensive “estimate” for next year.

In contrast, Josie Blumenthal from Faltz came to our house twice to sketch the area, take dimensions and develop our design ideas. On the 2nd trip she took aerial photos with a drone and prepared a concept design based upon our ideas. At our third meeting, Ben Brown, Faltz Landscape Architect, who was mentoring Josie, joined the Team and proposed some new design concepts that we liked a lot. We signed a contract and within a week the Faltz crew was on site.

The 3-man crew were experienced, polite and professional. Most of the time while the work was in progress, either Josie, Ben or both were on site, assuring the work was in conformance with the plan. At the end of every workday, the crew cleaned our yard and driveway. Three days later the work was complete.

The final product far exceeded our expectations, and we are very happy with the entire Faltz Team, especially Ben and Josie. We felt that Faltz provided a superior product and good value. We’d highly recommend Faltz for your landscape needs.

Just had two 5 ft Lilacs planted in our back yard. The crew was terrific. Made sure the best side was facing the direction we wanted. Placed them in exactly to best spots. Made sure they were planted well and watered and explained future care. They did a nice job of cleaning up (which seems to be rare these days) and they were very friendly and polite. I'm very, very happy!

Don't assume, like I did, that the landscapers at Faltz know what they're doing. My yard had a twenty-five-year-old timber retaining wall that had reached its expected end of life. I planned to replace it with something more durable, like concrete blocks. A landscape architect from Faltz recommended a stacked stone wall, and I agreed. A month and thousands of dollars later I had a beautiful wall, for awhile. With each freeze thaw cycle the wall moved. Five years later it was clearly failing. When I contacted Faltz, the owner and the landscape architect looked at the wall and essentially said that failures occasionally occur. They speculated that adding drainage might help. Faltz didn't offer to repair it. I hired a civil/structural engineer to give an opinion. He cited several construction mistakes (for example, stones that are too small, lack of gravel below and behind the wall, absence of geotextile fabric, and absence of drainage tubing). I got estimates from other landscape contractors, and they cited many of the same design mistakes. Now I have to pay to have a five-year-old stacked stone wall removed, and pay to build a new wall.
