Home Services reviews in Spokane, Washington

Richard is phenomenal. He 100% goes the extra mile, takes incredible care in his work, and is easy to work with. He redid a brick pathway and set of stairs in our yard, both which turned out perfect. Highly recommend.

Richard was able to take our basic ideas and transform our sad patch of dirt and rocks into a peaceful sanctuary. He worked day in and day out to get it done before the winter and we couldn't be happier. Thanks, Richard!

Recalling back to the summer of 2022, my wife and I were searching for a landscaper. At the time, our entire backyard was still dirt which was left over from the when it was initially built in 2019. Several designs and quotes later, we contacted Richard from Garden Landscapes. There are a few things I can tell you about working with Richard, one of which is that we will be returning customers for his services. Richard has robust demonstrated experience working with the local plants and fauna and can easily explain his decision-making process. Allowing him to capitalize on his own artistic experience turned our backyard into what will soon be a beautiful PNW-style backyard that will awe and captivate for years to come. The garden, even in its earliest stages, lured butterflies and other beautiful native creatures to share in its beauty. My wife and I have very much enjoyed sitting on our porch last season to take in the view and happenings of the garden so far. Speaking to Richard himself he is disciplined in terms of his punctuality, responsiveness, and overall use of his time. I will be sure to add photos after the first bloom this season!

After getting either no response from other highly rated companies or extremely high quotes for weed removal only, I reached out to Richard and was so refreshed by his quick communication and ability to meet in person to assess our yard. He walked through everything with me, shared insights on what was worth keeping, how to better maintain things, and made suggestions for our sprinkler system. That first meeting alone was so helpful! After we hired him, he was meticulous about removing all of our weeds (which were out of control), and set us up with beautiful new edging that makes our backyard lawn look great. Now that the plants and mulch are in, I can see his vision for a lush, colorful, full garden coming together. I am excited to see the plants mature and fill in and spend less time weeding and maintaining in the years to come. Thank you Richard!

Richard did a fantastic job with my front yard. He really knows his plants and is super dedicated. He shows up early and stays late, working even during the hottest days. He cares about his work and the plants, has an artist's eye, and is totally dependable. Highly recommend.

Richard, the English Gardener, has been an exceptional partner in our landscaping journey. His unparalleled expertise and meticulous planning have greatly contributed to the success of our projects. Even before we officially started working together, Richard provided valuable guidance for over a year. His ability to design and optimize our outdoor space is unparalleled, showcasing his keen eye for detail and creativity. Richard's extensive knowledge of plants and their requirements has ensured a vibrant and thriving landscape. Above all, his professionalism and enjoyable demeanor make working with him a pleasure. We highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and talented gardener for their projects.

We had Richard design and plant our front yard with drought tolerant plants and drip irrigation. Throughout the process of design, planting and follow up plant care after project completion Richard was both very responsive in his communications and prompt with project completion. He takes great pride in his designs and truly bringing a garden to life. This project exceeded our expectations in both the beauty it has provided since its completion and the process of design and planting. We would highly recommend Richard for any landscaping needs you might have.

We cannot recommend Richard Lambert from GardenLandscapes enough! From start to finish, his expertise and attention to detail were exceptional. He listened carefully to our ideas and vision, but also offered valuable suggestions to improve the design and helped us choose plants/trees that thrive in our area with less maintenance than some of our original choices. The result is a lovely landscape that is cohesive from front to back with multiple areas of interest. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and are immensely grateful to Richard for his creativity, communication and superior work ethic! He is truly deserving of his five-star rating and we recommend him whenever we get the chance!
Thank you, Richard!

Kind of scary to have your entire front lawn removed and replaced with multiple plants. But, the promise of less maintenance and awesome looking yard is exactly what we have.
People have stopped and complement the work and the beauty of our garden on several occasion. Its like living on the grounds of a herbarium. And every season it just gets better.

Richard is the small business owner you wish they could all be. He is dependable and does just what he says he will when he says will. He spends time thinking about your project and letting the idea evolve until he sees what he wants to do. So your project doesn’t look just like all the other ones. He is versatile and understands that each home is different and demands a personal and site specific design. When the work begins Richard is there every day, working full days until the garden is done. He is systematic and efficient but also a perfectionist. He does not have a lazy bone and therefore does things right even when that means spending more time than he budgeted for. And he absorbs it not the home owner. Really can’t say enough.

We have been using Richard's services for the past five years and he has always done an exceptional job for us at a reasonable price. Richard takes great pride in his work, and it shows in the results, which are always beautiful! He has always been extremely responsive when we've needed emergency trimming and very helpful and creative when we wanted to change some landscaping. I can't recommend Richard and his services highly enough!

Richard did a fantastic job on my small sandy lot in Spring air Estates. Working with mostly native type plants that will require low water once established and very maintenance free. Drip lines were added from my existing system which saved time and money. Just what I was looking for. Highly recommended. Thank You Richard!

Richard installed a large paver patio for us this spring. We planned to get a hot tub for the new patio and Richard took great care to create a level spot and recommended pavers that would easily handle the extra weight. I was also impressed by the time and care he took into the prep work which gives me great confidence in the quality of his work.

His communication style is very direct which may rub some people the wrong way but we appreciate his directness and honest opinion. We hope to hire him in the future for some additional work in our backyard.

Richard has excellent ideas of how a yard should be developed for a specific purpose and listens to the desires of the home owner. His work is first rate, especially for a one man operation and we have had enumerable complements on our new yard and anticipate it looking even nicer as develops in the next few years. He takes a lot of time looking at what exists and what would fit in nicely and comes throughout the day to see how the sun strikes the different areas so the thoroughness gives you a great deal of confidence in his recommendations.

Richard was an incredible consultant as I went through the decision and design process. He came with options, design choices, samples, and inspiration. He was open to sharing previous designs and shared his personal passion and expertise for native plants and contemporary spaces. He listened to my needs and budget, and led me in creating a vision that fit within budget and elevated the usability and aesthetic. He was a wealth of knowledge and a tireless worker. He took great care to transform my neglected yards to beautiful, low-maintenance, spaces to watch the seasons change and entertain.

Richard completed a full scale remake of our front yard, removing sod, adding topsoil, planting over 200 low maintenance, low water flowers and plants, and completed it with a deep layer of bark. In addition, he converted our sprinkler system into a drip-line system. He worked tirelessly for an extended period of time, often twelve hour days in temperatures 100 degrees plus.

When we first met with Richard we described a basic outline of our desired layout, colors and preferences. He proposed original ideas working within our suggestions. We were happy to allow his creativity and choices to give our yard a unique identity. He adapted the plan as it progressed as he noted additions that would enhance our project.

Richard showed great care, energy, and commitment to this project and kept us informed of his intentions and progress throughout. He has stopped by intermittently to check on the progress of his lovely creation. He will do a simple annual pruning and maintenance job at the appropriate time per our request.

We highly recommend Richard for consideration in completing projects such as ours.

We wanted to re-do our large yards’ planting beds to make them easier to maintain, have less weeds and use less water. Richard took out a large amount of old landscaping shrubs and replaced them with plants and grasses with a very nice design. We liked his style of planting which is why we hired him. He is a very hard worker and stays until the job is done. He and his helper with machinery did an amazing job of removing old bushes and prepping the soil for mulch. The plants were still quite small but we are very excited to see them in bloom this spring. I would highly recommend this business. Richard is talented, dedicated, very knowledgeable and he gave us a fair price while respecting our desires for the plan.

Discovered Richard through SpokaneScape and fell in love with the garden designs on his website. He knows which drought tolerant plants and varieties work well in our area. He did a lot of work to remove my old landscape and took into consideration how his design would improve the curb appeal of my house. It looks great and I look forward to seeing the plants thrive next year.

Richard did a wonderful job turning our drab lawn into a water-efficient oasis! He is an artist with a great eye for detail. I look forward to seeing the colorful blooms all year long. Richard also listened attentively to our requirements and worked with us to ensure our new front yard met our needs. He was extremely efficient, which was amazing considering he did everything himself. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to transform their garden!

We highly recommend Richard! He created a beautiful garden from scratch. We bought a new house with no landscaping. Richard puts so much thought & effort into his creating a low maintenance, ever evolving garden. It has been a joy to watch as the garden matured. Every season has its beauty.

Richard was an absolute pleasure to work with and did an amazing job on my front yard. When I initially contacted Richard, he responded right away and offered to come out that same week to talk about the project. I told him I wanted to get rid of my lawn and put in native and drought-tolerant plants that would attract bees and birds. He understood what I had in mind and immediately struck me as knowledgeable, straight-forward, and honest. He was quick in getting me a quote. Once he started the project, he was incredibly meticulous, never cut corners, and was an unbelievably hard worker. He took out the lawn, replaced the old, broken sprinkler system with a new drip system, then designed the garden, planted the plants, and mulched them. He often worked ten hour days in extreme heat. Richard is an artist and it is clear he takes great pride in creating beautiful spaces. I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience of working with him, and with the new, beautiful front yard he created for my home. I can’t recommend Richard highly enough; he’s terrific.
