Home Services reviews in Powhatan, Virginia

Chris did a great job with the planning of our project. He spent a significant amount of time taking measurements, providing expert advice, and acted as a consultant to fit our must-haves but also provided suggestions to make it even more functional. His response times are excellent and would highly recommend his services.

Chris came up with an amazing pool and patio design that fit our house and landscape perfectly. He listened to what our needs and wants were and completely over delivered on what we envisioned was possible.

Chris did an amazing job of coming up with a practical but also creative design for our relatively small outdoor kitchen space. He was always quick to respond to feedback and requested updates, including months after the original design was finished when, after construction had started, we realized we needed a different approach to part of the kitchen. I feel confident that the only reason things turned out as well as they did with our project is because we started with an excellent design. Thanks so much Chris!

Chris was referred to us by a friend and we hit it off with him straight away. We needed a full yard design including a pool, deck and hardscape beginning with a pretty blank slate. Chris was extremely thorough, asking lots of questions and taking measurements from the get-go. We instantly knew we chose the right person for the job. He was patient when we needed more time to make changes and really mull over the design and our needs and the end design result is a dream. We can't wait to see it take shape.

I also want to mention that his new assistant sat in on our final meeting to hash out last minute changes and Kessed was a huge help in solidifying the design! A fantastic experience throughout!

We were blown away. Words can't express how excited we were as we watched the initial design in video form. We had a complicated property with a lot of constraints but they provided us with not only a workable design but one that we absolutely love. We would recommend this team (Chris and Khesed) to anyone that is considering a pool. Thanks CREATIVEscapes!

We highly recommend, Chris Johannsen with Creativescapes! He brought our visions of our backyard oasis to the (3D) life in such a short period of time. It only took 2 meetings and a few inspiration photos and bam we got what we want. He is very understanding, easy to work with, very responsive and professional. We can’t wait to start the installation of our pool, fireplace, driveway, etc based on this design drawing soon. Thank you!

Amazing experience working with Chris and his team. His attention to detail in unbelievable. If you are in the market to get a backyard of your dreams designed contact them! We are excited to see this project come to life!

We contacted Chris to help us imagine a design for our challenging backyard. Have a very sloped yard and some restrictions on space to build out. Chris and Khesed created an absolutely incredible design. We were blown away. The plan is beautiful and takes into account all of our preferences. Could not recommend them more.

Absolutely an amazing experience with Creativescapes! Worth every penny both for confidence going into my project, sharing the plans with friends for feedback, and for long term tracking of the space. Most valuable money spent on my entire two car detached garage build. The team is professional and impressive with some outside the box ideas that made my project pop even more.

We worked with Chris to design our small backyard and he and his team did an amazing job. They were able to incorporate all our design requirements and odd requests. He made several adjustments for us until we got the design just right and now we can't wait to make our dream a reality! I highly recommend him.

Chris is the bomb!! He helped create our design for a patio, pool, and retaining wall back in October of 2020, and our project was completed in July 2021. Chris was so responsive and quick with making modifications to our design when we would move things around or pick a different material or landscaping item. Our project was a pretty big one, and I cannot imagine going through the process comfortably without having been able to visualize it first, through Chris' design.

Chris is amazing!! We were looking to work with an independent designer who would truly listen to our vision and bring it to life. Chris far exceeded our expectations. We recently signed a contract to have the project completed. Chris was available to answer any questions/concerns our contractor had. Highly recommend Chris. You won’t be disappointed.

Khesed And Chris were a joy to work with! They brought my vision to life and help me to see what our project will look like! My only regret was not calling them sooner! Thank you so much for your services- couldn’t imagine doing this process without yall! Can’t wait for you both to see the finished product in person

Last week Outdoor Escape rebuilt our front walkway. We are thrilled with the results (!) and are pleased to get landscape projects underway before the heat. Working with Jack was great for a residential customer like me who didn’t have the lingo to describe what I wanted. We found an eco-friendly solution using a locally made interlocking paver system. I highly recommend Outdoor Escapes and the friendly capable work crew. This project took two full days:

I had outdoor escape to do a retaining wall and walkway, they went above and beyond what I expected. I am very pleased on there landscaping ideas. I give jack and his crew a big kudos!! Next project I do, I will call them again. Thanks outdoor escapes.

Good communication, responsive, fair pricing and the work was done quick and thoroughly!

Ours was a relatively simple driveway project, but the price was reasonable, the team professional, and the final result exceeded our expectations! Thanks for a great job.

Jack and his team have done many landscaping projects for us over the years. Garden design,planting, irrigation, patios, outdoor grill, landscape lighting, pool surround and water featureats. He has created a beautiful, tranquil outdoor space at each home we have lived in. Always superb work. Always on time and as promised. I would recommend Outdoor Escapes without hesitation.

Jack and his team did an outstanding job with our patio. We liked what they did so much, we had them come back to make it larger. They have our highest recommendation.

Jack and the team were incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in creating a fantastic pond with waterfalls for our backyard. Jack's experience in horticulture was truly impressive as he selected trees and plants for the major landscaping renovation we commissioned as well. Appreciated the communication and attention to detail in lighting the water falls and surrounding trees. Highly recommend Jack and his team!

Jack and his team did a great job on our pool hardscaping repairs. Due to settling, most of the pavers had to be removed, leveled up and replaced. They power washed the whole area and the space looks brand new. We will definitely use Outdoor Escapes again.
