Home Services reviews in Highlands Ranch, Colorado

Great company. They listen to your ideas and provide thoughts and/or suggestions. Professional, friendly work crew and they do an excellent job, including clean-up.

We had Peter and Elite out again for a patio extension, pavers, pergola, landscaping and lighting. The crew was professional, friendly and on time. They did excellent work. Would highly recommend!

We use Elite Landscaping every year for our Fall Clean Up. They are reasonably priced, professional, and do a GREAT job. Highly recommend them.

I had a very unfortunate encounter with one of the trucks and crew from this company. This driver attempted to run my vehicle off the road, flipped me off and shouted obscenities at me. I believe he did not think I moved out of his way quick enough so he could change lanes. It's scary to think this person is in the community and handling a large truck/trailer that could seriously injure someone. This happened in Centennial on County Line Road near Yosemite.

**Update - after contacting the company, I received a response that they have "taken the necessary action with him and will ensure the incident does not repeat itself". I appreciate the quick response from the business and trust this has been remedied.

Steven came out to look at our backyard to give us a quote for landscaping. He said it would be a week before I got a plan back, it’s been over a month now and I still haven’t received anything. Needless to say, we went with a different company!

I would still love to see the quote, if you could resend it or give me a call to follow up it would be appreciated! Thanks

BIG SUCCESS for a BIG JOB! Elite Landscape and Outdoor Living totally designed and re-landscaped my entire Front Yard and Backyard landscaping. New paver driveway; front porch retaining wall with paver pathway and bridge; new trees, shrubs, grass and bushes; then in the backyard we did a new hardwood deck; hot tub; rock boulders with Waterfall; flagstone patio with all new sprinkers and grass, along with new trees, flowers and shrubs. They did an amazing job! Workers were there early and worked late. There was a whole crew every day for 30 days. It was amazing how fast they worked! The crew was kind and considerate of my family. The design work was thoughtful and well executed. I had a chance to meet and work with the owner, Peter Van, who truly cared about our project and made sure it was done right and on time. We love our backyard and front yard! Highly recommend this company. We still stay in touch and they are always willing to still help me keep the yard in tip top shape!

Will and his team do a great job rach time. From special landscaping projects to improve curb appeal or extend outdoor living spaces to routine maintenance. We feel well cared for by his reliability and follow through.

This spring is our 2nd time we have had Elite Landscaping & Outdoor Living at our home. Last year we had our backyard redesigned, this year it is our front. The workers are real crafts men. Their work is done with precision. Peter, owner, is very easy to work with. He had ideas we hadn't thought of. We highly recommend a visit to the showroom and meet Peter and his wife.

Our patio turned out beautiful. Elite created a great design. They made sure everything was done well. When we made some change during the process they were flexible.

This company stands behind their work. We are very happy with the flagstone patio they completed for us two years ago. We had one minor issue with a crack in the grout from two years of settling and they came out and fixed it right away without any questions or problems. They were priced a little higher than other bids we received but we got exactly what we wanted and were pleased with the warranty.

We would recommend Elite to anyone with an outdoor project. They are clean, efficient, excellent craftsmen and the finished product is an incredible outdoor living space. They did a stone paver patio with a fire pit and a covered patio and deck with a 20’ glass wall/door for us. We love our new space!

Elite Landscape did a fairly good size project at our house to help with water mitigation. This included installation of a french drain, new window wells, a revamped patio with proper leveling for water runoff, a rebuilt set of steps, etc. The team did high quality work and they completed the work in a relatively short timeframe. The crew and foreman were great to work with and I would definitely look at them again for future projects.

Great people and service. Our yard needed a face lift over the years and we found Elite’s design and price the best. They finished ahead of schedule and couldn’t be happier with the finish product!

Scott Shapiro, my salesperson for Elite showed up on the first morning of our project and introduced me to the Project Manager Mike Bowen. Scott said Mike would be there 2-3 times a day. As for our project, we were having a flagstone path installed from our driveway around the side of the house to the patio in the back yard, a 9ft x 9ft concrete slab poured to relocate our existing hot tub on and we were also having them replace mulch inside the fence (approximately 100 linear feet) with 1 1/2 inch river rock. We had one change order to remove a 10ft tall (3-4 inch diameter trunk) Asian pear tree and replace with a similar sized clump Aspen tree. I told them I needed the project done by the following Wednesday and they assured me that would not be a problem. So this project that was supposed to be done within a week ended up taking more than 2 weeks. After walking the project both Scott and Mike left and there was a crew of 2 individuals left to start the project. My first sign that the project was not going to go well was when the crew only worked on average around 5 hours out of the 9 hours they were present each day. My next sign was on the first day when a truck showed up with a load of river rock and a pallet of flagstone and dumped in within a foot of our garage doors which we had just had painted with the entire house about a month prior. When Mike came the next day he said that was a "bone headed move" and that he would have the crew move the rock off of the driveway so we could access that garage. In the process of moving the flagstone, they put a 2 inch in diameter chip in the garage door and the river rock left numerous pock marks in the driveway. Mike showed up with them on Saturday morning to walk through the days activities. Mike left at 9:00, the crew left at 9:05 for an hour. They showed back up at 10:00 and set in their truck for 30 minutes, worked from 10:30 to noon and then took and hour and a half for lunch. Part of the issue was they had no supervision. As Scott had promised, Mike was supposed to be there 2-3 times day only showed up once and for a couple days I'm not sure he would have shown up at all if I hadn't texted. On Monday, I told him about the crew not working and the trash we had to pick up after they left every day and he was shocked and thanked me for letting him know. He told me he had no confidence in them being able to do my job yet the next day they were back. The crew spent one afternoon picking all of the pears off the tree we were wanting replaced and proceeded to dig it out of the ground. As they exited the backyard with it, they carried it between the house and fence managing to scratch both. Now they needed to repair that long with the garage door. As the project drug on, I called Scott back to express my frustration and left a detailed message. I told Mike I had done that as I didn't want to go behind his back and he said Scott was busy on other consultations and he never had the courtesy to return my call. On the second Saturday of the project (after it was supposed to be done on the previous Wednesday) Mike texted me to tell me they wouldn't be out to - after he had told me on Friday they would. He said they didn't have enough workers and again he didn't trust Ruben to do it. I asked him for the owner's (Peter) contact info. He surprisingly sent it to me so I called Peter and left a detailed voice mail. To Peter's credit he called back and he said they had a meeting every morning at 5:30 AM and he was fully aware of all our issues. When I told Mike about the scratches from the pear tree, Mike said Peter had asked them to try and save it. I asked Peter about this and he denied it, throwing Mike under the bus. Leadership starts at the top and Peter admitted to knowing about all the issues we were having yet never once tried reaching out. The project turned out satisfactory but if we hadn't been there to micro-manage it, I can't imagine how much longer it would have taken or how it would have turned out. I would not use Elite again.

We filled in our pool, added a patio, covered roof and Elite Landscape & Outdoor Living was the perfect construction and design company. The people who work for them are the best people and most knowledgeable we have ever had work for us. We are so impressed with how everything turned out and our backyard is amazing. I would hire them again in a second.

After getting a glowing review from our neighbors, we had Elite out to build a couple of retaining walls, fix some flagstone grout, and clean up some landscaping. It was the right choice. They did great work! We were very impressed with the crew. Always on time, very polite, extremely accommodating, and very detail oriented. The end result was even better than we hoped. We would absolutely use this company again!

My husband and I interviewed a lot of companies before selecting Elite and we know we made the right choice. Like many construction projects, there were bumps in the road but what puts Elite above other construction experiences is how the project continued and, ultimately, ended. For that, we are grateful.

Our experience with Elite was very positive. Our project manager, Mike, was amazing. He was responsive, communicative, professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Scott was also really helpful and of course sold us on Elite in the first place.

In short, we are very happy with the finished project and thank you for your work.

Excellent work installing a patio, gas firepit and sidewalk. Love it and try to enjoy it as much as we can. Hard workers with a beautiful result.

Elite did an amazing job on our new build landscaping! They were so professional and easy to work with during the entire process. We were very impressed and we are so happy with the final product! Thank you Elite!

Elite did a massive overhaul of our entire backyard, during Covid, and managed the project beautifully. From retaining walls, to pavers, to an outdoor kitchen, TV, speakers, massive covering, lighting…everything turned out so amazing! We’ve now hired them to manage our landscaping and fall/spring cleanup. We’ll use them again when we update the front of our house. I can’t speak highly enough of their team, the professionalism, attention to detail, and overall kindness!

February 2023, Elite designed a new patio with a fire pit that would complement the yard and give me a feeling of Colorado. They came back with a great concept that allowed us to pick the colors, textures, and patterns. The crew worked thru a cold snowy March to tear out the old and prep for the new. Everyone was friendly and professional and did a great job on the hardscape and plants. The Elite team also added 100’s of perennials, shrubs, and 5 trees. My only complaint is that they don’t have any guarantee on the high priced trees. One tree started dying before the work was done and it took arguing with them to get it replace and we still had to pay $150 for that and a pine tree died by the end of the summer.
I would recommend Elite to anyone.
