I moved to North Tacoma two years ago. I purchased and remodeled a home to be close to family. The home had good bones and location, but what sold me was the big backyard that had lots of potential to create a garden oasis that I knew I wanted. I did a lot of research and price comparisons for a landscape contractor that led me to a meeting with Chris at FN. After he left, I knew from our initial meting that I didn’t have to continue searching.Chris and team had no problem taking on a project knowing the design would be a collaboration by owner and others.The project was to be a garden for entertaining as well as plans for a future studio,/EDU, water feature and possible hot tub.Tasks involved total demo of concrete and existing landscape, as well as trenching for water, electrical, gas and drainage.Father Nature was nothing but professional and transparent regarding cost as well as working thru the areas that needed tweaking for the project to work. I cannot say enough good things.The FN team are like a second family to me now. Michael, Izzy, José and team were always there when they said they would be; (that alone says a lot in the construction industry)I did spend more than I initially budgeted for due to the fact that they knew what they were doing and I wanted it done right the first time.They say “You always get what you pay for!”…And I did. I couldn’t be happier.Phase 1 is complete.Phase 2 planting is already scheduled for spring!
Father Nature Landscaping has been incredible to work with. From Chris, who we first met during planning, to the project managers Michael and Isaibel, and Osvaldo the foreman, the entire team was outstanding.They paid close attention to every detail and made sure we were satisfied at each stage of the project. Once the work started, we made several changes to the original design. Instead of pushing back or making excuses, they adjusted quickly and made the changes exactly how we wanted them. Even better, everything stayed within our budget.We are extremely happy with the results and look forward to working with them again on the remaining landscaping for our yard. We highly recommend Father Nature Landscaping.
We hired Father Nature to install an irrigation system, build a second retaining wall (above an existing retaining wall), and update our landscaping. The management team was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our questions. The installation team did a good job. We are happy with the final outcome of our project. The wall looks great and the plants are growing well with the new irrigation system.
Professionalism: ? ? ? ? ?Communication: ? ? ?Project Outcome: ? ? ? ? ?The crew was professional from start to finish. We had our entire front yard redone to replace the grass with stones and native plants, and we had a patio added to the side yard. The result is gorgeous, and we're very happy with the work.There were quite a few communication snafus - times where "someone will back to me" but never did, and others where my emails simply went unanswered. However, I know this is a smaller company and just took it upon myself to continue following up with them. Example - currently my yard has a giant, dead bush because that one plant didn't survive. I asked them about paying to have it replaced over two months ago, and haven't heard back.(My AFTER picture crops out the dead bush, which is on the front corner. Overall it looks fantastic.)
Our experience with Chris, Isaibel, Michael, and the rest of their team was fantastic. The yard looks fantastic and the water feature came out beyond my highest expectations. The landscaping team was professional throughout the entire project, it was timely (actually earlier from what I had expected), and there were no hidden costs. Chris and Isaibel explained each step and each cost, and any last minute unexpected changes occurred, everything was discussed and approved by us at that time.We are moving into a maintenance contract with them. While not the cheapest option out there, I shudder to think of the shortcuts that would have been taken and the lack of input from us if we went with a cheaper contractor. Cost was definitely worth it.
