Landscaping reviews in Kirkland, Washington

Best place for any kind of your landscaping needs.
Brandon is just amazing.

Left significant gaps in my fence after they repaired them. When I pointed it out, they would find other ways to retaliate. For example, trying to modify a signed contract claiming there's an error on their end and even charge me a late fee on it. Many rude languages in the text messages they sent me and tried to confront me in person when I don't want to meet them at that point, I had to call the police.

Brandon and his team are very professional and take pride in everything they do. Great company! Highly recommend if you need any sort of landscape makeover or design!

Brandon is an exceptional designer and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend using Grote's Garden Design for any of your landscaping needs!

Brandon has helped me with many projects over the years. He is very knowledgeable and very creative in how he approaches every project he does! He is great with problem solving and very committed to doing the job right, what ever comes up in the project. I am so thankful I found him!

Brandon has been working with me for years. Zero issues. Upfront, answers the phone, and work is done on time. ALWAYS on budget. Id give 6 stars if i could.

Brandon's work ethic, planning, vision/skills, leadership with his crew and ability to communicate with his client is outstanding on every count! He has restored and given new life to the landscape on all four sides of our home! He has gone beyond our expectations by creating a new welcoming front low-walled garden; in addition, a sanctuary we reach from our patio doors onto a new stepped deck and then to a courtyard created with new pavers, generous beds and handcrafted arbor and cedar bench. The north and sideyard have been restored as well with a walk of pavers and beautiful new plantings. Such outstanding work and restoration that has given our garden, home and us new life!

I hired Grote's Garden Design to do multiple projects for me on our property and they did a phenomenal job! They helped us with taking down trees as well as trimming several others. They also rebuilt our aging deck and fence as well. They do excellent work at fair and reasonable pricing and I highly recommend them!

Brandon was terrific to work alongside. He collaborated on design and materials so there was a free flow of ideas. This was a complete makeover of a small yard. So knowledge of materials, preparation, design and planting were critical. We rebuilt a fence around the perimeter, new pavers, artificial grass, trees, plantings etc. A small yard is quite difficult to execute to give form, function and design. Brandon mastered the project. It was done on time within the budget and the neighbors fully appreciated the clean up after completion. Could not be happier with the results!

Brandon runs an exceptional business. From my first conversation with him he showed himself to be not only knowledgeable, but caring. He made my visions of what I wanted for my yard become a reality. Additionally, he made suggestions for my yard that showed his expertise and improved upon the plans that I had.
I would definitely recommend him and will call him again for future work in our back yard.
Hands down, he is the best contractor that I've worked with, and I've worked with several.

EDIT:

Now that my landscaping and fence has been in place for 9 months, the gates to the fence were improperly built and drag. Brandon attempted to fix one of the gates, but it’s clear that he doesn’t know what he’s doing. He offered to come back again, but I never heard from him again. The bushes were arranged without any thought or planning, and now I need to rearrange them. Some of the (junky)bushes died or didn’t do grow/bloom through not fault of my own. He makes unsolicited promises that he doesn’t keep. At this point, I’d be glad to use someone else.

Brandon did an absolutely fantastic job in my backyard! It was pretty much a blank slate; he came over and he asked me what I wanted to do to it. I just said that I wanted a patio with a firepit and I didn’t know what else. He said that he would design a whole backyard for me, and the design was really great, but the result is absolutely amazing. Every time I walk by the window to the backyard, I have to stop and stare at it! It’s just about the prettiest backyard I’ve ever seen. Brandon does what he says he’s going to do, but he really exceed my expectations. He was reliable, a good communicator, and if I asked him to do add or do something, he not only did it, but he went beyond the task. He even hung my cafe lights! The cost was very reasonable as well. I’d hands down use him again on any other projects I plan to do. Brandon loves what he does and it really shows.

Brandon and his team went above my expectations in transforming my front yard into a beautifully functional space. Each day they maintained a clean work site, gave me regular updates on the project's progress, and made sure I was satisfied with the end result. Their professionalism made the entire experience a pleasure.

Brandon and his team are creative in design suggestions, thoughtful in their work and responsive to client needs. Based on detailed contracts, I have now hired Brandon for 3 jobs, including a complete reconstruction of my 50 x 25 ft raised bed vegetable garden, laying pavers and building steps to and from my hot tub and construction of a greenhouse. In all cases they met timelines at a reasonable cost, with no cost overruns. They are very courteous, always clean up at the end of the day and do a good job keeping me informed of progress and next steps. I highly recommend their services for all garden landscaping work.

With his extensive experience and knowledge of garden design, drainage issues and plant materials, Brandon was able to rejuvenate our yard. He moved overgrown plants, helped us choose new ones, and added rocks that really enhanced the garden design. His outstanding crew restored our mossy and uneven lawn, transformed our garden areas, cleaned our driveway and applied mulch. Both Brandon and the very skilled and agreeable Omar emphasized their commitment to making their customers happy. The impressive results of their work are worth every penny.

Brandon, Omar, and the crew did an outstanding job relandscaping both my front and back yards after they were torn up during construction. With fairly loose direction from my husband and I, Brandon was able to craft beautiful, usable yard space that we appreciate every day. The work included a complete redesign of the space, hardscaping, lawn installation, selection and installation of plants and trees, incorporation of an existing fountain, and irrigation. As we maintain our outdoor space and as it continues to evolve, we'll continue to rely on the professionalism, expertise, and hard work of Brandon and his crew.

Brandon is committed to providing excellent work. He used my vision and mapped out a comprehensive overview of what his plans consisted of. With transparent communication, he began the process of making my outdoor dreams come true.

We have had the pleasure of working with Grote's Garden Design for more than 3 years. Working with Brandon has been a fantastic experience. His extensive knowledge and proactive approach keep us well-informed about any changes in his business. As a savvy businessman and a great landscaper, he ensures that his operations run efficiently and smoothly. He and his team work incredibly hard to make their clients happy, delivering outstanding results every time. We truly enjoy collaborating with him and appreciate his dedication to excellence. Highly recommend!

We have been working with Brandon from Grote's Garden Design for nearly 3 years, during which time we have transformed the garden supplied with our new construction home into a tranquil oasis that attracts a variety of birds throughout the year.

The original garden had a number of issues that ranged from poor soil and drainage through to trees overgrown with ivy or poorly planted.

We wanted a garden that reminded us of the time we spent living in Asia, filled with colour and variety, and had a natural look. Brandon translated our ideas into a plan that set the foundation for the garden we have today.

Lawn was removed to make way for garden beds and a flagstone path in our backyard. French drains and catchments were installed that effectively improved drainage, while the existing water system was modified to suit the new garden design.

Trees were removed or relocated and various Japanese maples were planted in garden beds that received good quality soil. Existing plants were redeployed and joined by various ornamental grasses, firs and shrubs and dressed with generous amounts of mulch. All up Brandon and his crew took around 6 weeks to complete the first phase of the landscaping.

Brandon returned to help us add a Japanese-style gazebo to the garden, and over the course of the next 18 months we collaborated with Brandon to improve and extend the garden.

We really liked Brandon's ability to quickly understand the vision we had for our garden, his expansive plant knowledge, his expertise in identifying and correcting issues with a landscape, in addition to his enthusiasm and drive to deliver an outstanding result. We definitely recommend Grote's Garden Design for any landscape design and installation!

Grote's Garden Design has helped in reworking my landscaping after a major renovation, replanting plants into better locations, replacing struggling plants, and repairing the sprinkler system. It is still a work in progress, but I appreciate the attention to detail, proactive recommendations for my garden as it matures, and consistent timely responses to my inquiries and requests. I'm very happy with the results and look forward to my continued working relationship with Grote"s Garden Design!

Brandon is simply awesome! We went through 3 other landscaping companies, that all messed things up before Grote's Garden Design, fixed it all!!

They finally came with a solution that fixed our drainage, he cut down and pruned tree's to increase my light; he helped design the layout of the garden and helped me pick fabulous tree's and installed some amazing lighting that made all the difference!

I highly recommend Brandon and Grote's Garden Design!

Here are some before and after pictures, drainage, lighting, sun, oh, and he took out all the "horse hairs" that were under the tree, plaguing the whole back area!
