Jack Breckner

Beds and Borders designed and installed a landscape plan for us that touched everything on our property. They basically stripped and replanted the entire yard at our 60 year old home. The new design included re-grading, numerous trees and shrubs, boulder and paver installation, retaining walls, mulch and sod installation. Jesse coordinated with at least 4 other teams that were working on other projects all at the same time. In some cases he helped pull permits for them and combined work to get something done. We really appreciated his flexibility and attitude on this. Every time something came up he approached it positively with a can-do attitude. Our new yard looks gorgeous and we are extremely happy with it. I also feel like they were honest with their pricing. Every time there was a change or amendment they updated our pricing proposal, even if we removed work or material during install. We finally ended up on revision #9 and I feel everything was competitively priced. I have recommended Beds and Borders to a few friends already, they are the best landscape company I have interacted with and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again on anything else. Thank you!!

Eric Ratzlaff

We had such a great experience with Beds and Borders! We reached out to Andy with just a general idea for a patio, and he and Jesse provided us with a detailed video plan that brought the vision to life. During construction, the crew was efficient, organized, and very respectful of our property. The finished patio exceeded our expectations—it looks amazing! Andy was easy to communicate with throughout the entire process and made sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Beds & Borders brought the vision for my garden to life! Andy took the time to really understand the woodland perennials that are important to me and Jesse's design prioritized the organic shapes I love with a clever solution to reuse the old patio pavers. Jared constructed the flagstone patio with incredible care and craftsmanship and Chris and the landscaping crew made sure the shapes for the new beds and the placements of the new shrubs were just right. Thank you for your beautiful work; I'm looking forward to enjoying outdoor dinner parties and weekends in the garden for years to come!

If we could give more than 5 Stars, we would! Choosing to work with Beds & Borders Landscape Design (Andy, Jesse & their entire crew) was the absolute best decision we could have possibly made. We hired them to install a patio, seated wall & fire pit in our backyard, and without a doubt, we will hire them again for any future projects. They are kind, honest and genuinely care about their customers. It's clear they take great pride in the work they do. Everything about working with them and their process was seamless. Their communication is best-in-class: clear, timely and consistent. They truly listen to what you as a customer want and then compliment that with their knowledge and expertise to provide additional ideas, solutions or considerations. They never made us feel like they were trying to upsell us - in fact, just the opposite. They were very honest about things that are necessary for your project based on your goals and preferences vs things that are not, etc. They provided a clear quote for the project, a projected start & finish date and coordinated their work with our irrigation team to ensure a smooth project from start to finish across all parties involved. While not guaranteed for all projects, they were able to double their crew a few days and ultimately finished our patio earlier than expected - and it looks incredible. (We need to finish the shrub beds, but I'm including some pictures of the patio, seated wall and fire pit for reference. The pictures don't even do it justice!). A HUGE THANK YOU TO ANDY, JESSE & THE ENTIRE CREW! If you have the opportunity to work with them, you will not regret it!

Starting from the very beginning of this project until the very end, this has been the most positive experience! Across the entire time frame (initial meeting 4/26 to finished project 9/1/23) communication was amazing. Andy and Jesse were very responsive and timely with phone calls, texts, and emails. Andy (owner & designer) and Jesse (designer) came for our initial meeting. They listened, understood our concerns related to the soft and hardscape issues we wanted to address and offered many creative ideas on the spot that we loved. Ours was an extensive project covering both front and back yards. It included paver walkways, paver patio, site-grading, irrigation, new beds, trees, shrubs, perennials, sod, new boulder retaining wall, repaired existing retaining wall, windows well repair and replacement, drain tile, dry stream bed, natural stone steppers. The design they came up with was detailed, creative and reflected our combined visions for the project. We were very involved homeowners with a lot of input, questions, and attention to detail and they welcomed our involvement, even though it resulted in Jesse updating the design 5 times before the project started. Andy and Jess are true artists as well as wonderful, patient human beings, who were a delight to work with! Once work began 8/21 the crew was here working every day until the job was done. We can’t say enough about the whole crew- Chris, Jared, Brian, Julio, Joe, Nathan, and Riley, (Jesse and co-owner Mike were here a few days as well)- they were friendly, respectful, fun, very hardworking and they really cared about the quality of their work. Despite working through a stretch of 90+ degree days no one was crabby or short tempered and they worked incredibly hard. We had a few last-minute changes that I worried would be a significant inconvenience for the crew but every time we asked for something to change, it was never a problem. They willingly accommodated our requests. Despite being off on a short get-away Andy has stayed in touch providing guidance for keeping our sod and plants alive during this heatwave over Labor Day Weekend. Now that the work has been completed, we are confident that Andy remains available to answer questions, provide resources and will stand behind the work Beds and Borders has done for us. Andy and Mike have figured out how to run a business with integrity, creativity, responsiveness, and kindness. The quality of their entire team is amazing. We feel so grateful to have found Beds and Borders for our project. We are thrilled with our new outdoor spaces, and we recommend them highly!
