All reviews for Falling Waters Landscape

Easy to talk to and willing to give advice. One day.. when i save enough money. I will definitely get a project done with them.

Ryan and his team are some of the most knowledgeable, professional, talented and humble landscaping design companies in S.D. They do some of the best work I have ever seen and are always ready to answer questions. Highly recommend!

FWL was on a short list of bidders when we considered a backyard overhaul a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, we had to put the project on hold, and in the interim did a couple of smaller projects with low-budget bidders. Having felt the sting of those decisions (poor finish work and blown budgets), we went back to Ryan and the team at FWL when we were finally ready to do the big backyard project.

And I cannot tell you how happy I am we got to work with this crew. The project was big in scope and our budget was finite, but Ryan and the team worked with us to get it done with the design and trim details they are well known for, but still working with what we had to spend.

What I am most grateful for is Ryan and his team's thoughtful take on the project, and guidance whenever we had to make a critical decision. He knows what really matters, and he never compromises on finish. He even went out of his way to advocate for improved design details with a sub-contractor we had installing a rainwater catchment system at the same time.

At the end of the day, we have the backyard of our dreams, and he it did all on budget, on time and for that we are forever grateful that FWL worked with us.

I'm a repeat customer of Falling Waters. They designed my front and backyards, and we most recently used them for the conceptual layout for our future space after adding an ADU and JADU. I appreciated working with Falling Waters again. Their organic and environmentally sensitive design approach continues to delight me. Our designer was especially thoughtful and creative as we figured out how to make a small, hilly yard with existing hardscape work for three separate living units. The team is not only super smart but also great listeners.

I knew Ryan through a work relationship we shared several years ago and followed falling waters on social media. I always loved their work and fell in love with a project they were doing locally. My wife and I are finally ready to completely overhaul our yard and create an awesome space and choose Falling Waters to design it. We could not be more impressed and happy with the plans Miz and Connor came up with! And very fair and reasonable pricing too! They covered every detail and brought top level professionalism to our relatively small project, treating it like it was one of their big projects! So happy with our choice to work with them!

Falling Waters did an amazing job on our yard. We approached them with a few vague ideas for our front and back yard, and they created a perfect yard for our home. We loved working with Connor. He listened to our ideas, presented a thoughtful plan, and adhered to our budget. He and his crew were always professional. We absolutely love our new peaceful sanctuary and would highly recommend this company for beautiful landscaping. They were outstanding to work with.

We hired Falling Waters in 2022 to redesign both our front and back yards. We are thrilled with the results, which far exceeded our expectations. Ryan was so easy to work with, knowledgeable, and gave us many tips on what to think about throughout the process. Falling Waters also created a plant book, incorporating xeriscape species and habitat for pollinators. The finished product is cohesive, contemporary, and lends itself to indoor/outdoor living. We use every square inch of our yards and love entertaining friends and family. Thank you, Ryan and the whole Falling Waters crew!

We hired Falling Waters for a small front yard project because we really liked their design aesthetic, and they definitely delivered on that front. The finished space looks great and captures the style we were hoping for.

Connor and his team were friendly, responsive, and worked swiftly. The whole team has a great eye for design. Along the way, though, we learned a few things that might help others get the best outcome:

Double-Check the Details: Even with walkthroughs and written notes, items can be missed in the process, leading to unexpected adjustments. In hindsight, I suggest confirming key details multiple times, especially as changes are made along the way.

Plan for the Finish: Toward the end of the project, the team gets ready to move on, which is understandable with busy schedules. As a result, it can lead some finishing touches (like sprinkler issues and care instructions for new plants) slip through in hand-off. Take the time to identify issues early, get questions answered and raise concerns in order to give their team a chance to address appropriately.

Overall, we're really happy with the look and feel of the yard. It reflects the strong design vision that Falling Waters is known for. If you're working with them, just stay proactive on the details and make sure there's time built in to review everything thoroughly at the end. With that, you'll likely end up with something you'll love.

Hired falling waters to do my entry way. Initially they seemed chafed by limiting them to a $20k budget which I thought was sufficient for adding rocks to few hundred square feet of planted area. Immediately after I had issues with the drip system they installed. Opening up the filter it was clearly plugged with dirt. Rather than addressing the issue they made spurious claims that my valves which have been working for years are too low. It was easier for me to back flush and unclog the system myself which was obviously plugged with dirt from construction. I don't feel like they stood by their work at all. At least than a year out I need follow up work.

Very unprofessional team. I found empty beer cans and cigarette butts after my maintenance service throughout my yard. Very disappointed! Will not use again.
Hedges look nice though!
