Looking for a landscaping business to pretty much overhaul my entire yard. I started Googling, and there are quite a few in the COSprings area, but I can't seem to find as many testimonials.

So, I'm looking for recommendations and/or reviews if you've used or know someone.

Thanks in advance!

I need one as well. My yard looks like an Arizona landscape.... Dust tornadoes and everything.

I used to be a landscaper. The way my job search is going, maybe I should get back into it...

Sarah, my brother in law is a landscaper. Call/txt Michael Johnson at 303-968-5622 or email at ugomj @ hotmail.com

He's been in the biz for 20+ yrs. Tell him his sister Kristina Rice sent you. :)

Thanks, Suki! Would he be willing to come down to Colorado Springs, though? (Basing my comment on his 303 area code...)

Oh, lol! I didn't see your location. you could always call/txt him and ask. It's slow right now so he might. We're on the south end of town so the springs isn't too far.

Threadjack - I'm going to call Suki's brother-in-law for my yard :-)

LOL, omg I'm such an ass! Okay well I don't frequent CSC much and I just hit "new posts" when I do, so I apologize that I didn't see this was posted in the south forum.

You're all welcome to contact him anyways, I just got off the phone with him to let him know and depending on the job (he most likely won't go out there to cut a limb off a tree) the Springs is not too far.

So happy landscaping! lol

Thanks Kristina, I might need one in Denver too once I get my deck built. Right now searching for a deck builder up here in Denver Metro area...

I got my whole yard and a giant patio done by Erik at Weston over the fall. Ended up being the best yard in my neighborhood and much much nicer than I ever anticipated. Let me know if you want pictures or contact info. I got many quotes and they gave me the best design by far. Erik is an architect and designs everything and oversees the work, did great work.

Would you mind shooting me some pics, info and what you were charged. I am going to be too busy with other house crap to get the yard taken care of right away.

... Still needing recommendations & testimonials on COLO SPGS landscapers here! :wait: Post or PM me.

I'll check out any recommended Denver peeps, especially if it's a spankin' deal, but most likely it won't happen due to convenience/cost on both of our parts.

Colorado Custom Rock Company. Ask for Jeff Schondeck. He and his crew did a great job with the house in Monument:

Randy's Landscaping. They've been around forever, used to sponsor the short track car we ran out at CSIS in the late 70's and early 80's. They also just totally redid my folks front yard, they live up near the Air Force Academy.

Sarah,
I’ll second the recommendation for Randy’s Landscaping- Randy designed and landscaped about 75% of my yard about 10 years ago. Randy and his wife were running the business and are experienced and pleasant people.

That's the kind of review I'm looking for. I appreciate it, Dave!

Haven't called anyone yet as I'm finalizing all the questions that I have, etc, but I plan to do so this week.

Might be kind of late, but a friend of mine owns Foothills Landscaping and they are local to the springs.....

Might be way off on the time frame but I have a landscaper that I have used several times and a hand full of friends have used him, does great work for a lot less. Most quotes I got when I did mine were $15K-$18K, he did mine for $11K. His name is Sergio Selinas, 719-382-5958
