Had a wonderful experience working with Koch and Associates on a backyard project. The entire team was very professional, responsive, and helpful. They understood our needs and were able to meet them very effectively. We are very happy with the project.
In 2023, we engaged Koch & Associates to make some significant landscaping updates in our backyard. We were so pleased with the outcome that we engaged them again in 2025 for a larger project to redo our front yard landscaping. Our experience in 2025 was just as good!We had a few very helpful design consultations with Garrett. He took measurements, delivered a design, and cost estimate promptly thereafter. We were pleased with the suggested design which met our goal of no longer having a lawn and instead having two large mounded elevated areas calling for a variety of plants and stones. They provided a helpful document that included a portfolio of suggested plants and trees for our selection. We also upgraded the existing drip system.Garret was a pleasure to work with – professional, knowledgeable, and personable. He was sensitive to the budget that we set for the project. Garrett was also the project manager. He scheduled the job and was on-site the first day to walk the workers through the project. He visited throughout the completion of the project.The project was completed on time and hassle free. At the last minute, I expanded the scope to include replacing my lights in both the front and back yard as well as adding a few additional plants to the design. Garrett and team were very accommodating.We have received lots of compliments on our newly landscaped front yard. I highly recommend Koch & Associates and should the need arise, I would not hesitate to engage them again.
We recently hired Koch & Associates Landscaping to completely re-do our front and back yard, and we could not be happier with the experience. Doug was incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and diligent in helping us design a space that fits our family’s needs perfectly. When we unexpectedly had to change plans due to emergency tree removal, he rolled with it without hesitation and came up with a fantastic alternative design that we ended up loving even more.The construction process was exceptionally smooth and efficient. Garrett, our construction manager, was outstanding — friendly, communicative, and on top of every detail. He kept us informed every step of the way, coordinated seamlessly with our neighbors on fence work, and worked closely with our concrete contractor to ensure everything tied together beautifully.Rosa in the office was also wonderful to work with. She handled billing promptly and professionally, and even went above and beyond to assist our neighbor with a few unique requests.Koch & Associates is truly a gem. Their team is talented, hardworking, and a joy to partner with. We absolutely love our new yard and are so grateful to have chosen them for this project. Highly recommend!
We couldn't be happier with the work that Koch & Associates did for us in our front yard. We've lived in our house for 5 years now and the front yard needed help. It was full of boxwoods that were not doing well.I googled several different landscape/design companies in the area and Koch & Associates were the first one's to respond to my request. I could tell from their website that they really knew what they were doing. I felt like they could deliver the specific look for the front yard that my wife was looking for (country garden).I had two initial phone consultations with Paul, who walked me through their process and asked questions. He gave some valuable suggestions about our project. We met Paul in person a few weeks later and we were able to walk him through what we were looking. He took measurements of our entire front and delivered a completed plan a few weeks later. We made a few small tweaks to the plan, but we loved it right away and were really excited.Work started the last week of June and took about two weeks. We were thoroughly impressed with the crew of gentlemen they sent out to complete the work. They were all friendly, helpful and easy to talk to. Most of all, they were very respectful of our property. Every day they took their time cleaning everything up before they left. We really appreciated that.I also have to mention that Garrett and Rosa were key in keeping everything moving along smoothly. Rosa kept us updated on upcoming deadlines and schedules and Garret kept the crew running smoothly. They both always had answers whenever I had questions.I would have to say that this is the first time that work has been done at our house and there were no surprises, issues or headaches to deal with. Everything ran very smoothly.We are incredibly happy with the outcome and would highly recommend working with Koch & Associates on your job.
We had a wonderful experience with Koch & Associates. We hired them to completely redo our backyard, replacing a long, somewhat narrow yard broken into a weird cement conversation pit, a small patch of grass and a disused play structure. We now have a beautiful Trex deck, a lovely fire pit with seating and a swimming pool with a substantial swim deck. There's drip irrigation and low-voltage lighting throughout, and they even ran Cat5 twisted pair in conduit to the back of the yard so I could blanket the yard with WiFi and provide wired connectivity to the pool equipment.During our initial meetings, Doug Koch assured us that they'd take care of the entire project, and they did. Paul, who did the design work, was friendly, thoughtful and responsive to our questions. Garrett, who led the crew that did most of the work, and the crew themselves were responsible and respectful. Garrett took time to communicate progress and answer questions. We couldn't be happier with the result.They also stand behind their work. We recently (five months after completion!) noticed that two small trees they'd planted were looking dry and withered, and I'd meant to contact Koch about it but hadn't gotten around to it. Paul happened to come by to take some photos, noticed the trees and contacted us to ask if it was okay to replace them. That's service!I wholeheartedly recommend Koch & Associates to anyone looking for top-quality, conscientious landscape design and construction.
