  We hired Creekside to fix our failed retaining wall that was done incorrectly by another local contractor. We could not be more pleased with the end result. Creekside was professional and took pride in their work and it shows. I am confident that this wall will hold up and I love the aesthetics of it as well. They were on time and completed the project when they said they would. The whole team was a pleasure to work and communicate with. They recommended the added lighting and it really made a big difference. We are so happy that we went with Creekside and we will be using them for all of our future outdoor projects! You will not be disappointed if you choose them for your landscape and hardscape needs.

  It has been nearly four decades since Tom Peters wrote In Search of Excellence, detailing his quest to find the best run companies in America. Creekside Outdoor Living could have been on that list had they been around. From the top down to the laborers, this is a first class organization. The sales staff led by President Mike Arnold is remarkably responsive. The incredibly talented designer showed great patience as we worked on her brilliant design. Finally, our Project Supervisor Mason led the crews who painstakingly executed that exquisite design with the skill of old world craftsmen. Importantly, there were no surprises on price. I knew what this project would cost from the start and they stayed right on budget and on time. When they needed stone, it was there. Never once in over three weeks did this project stop for lack of material, labor or equipment. Every step of the process was flawless. Of course nothing would matter unless the folks in the trenches, who must determine elevations, excavate the site, lay the base, and then cut and lay the stone were not the extraordinary craftsmen they are. And indeed these gentlemen executed brilliantly and with exacting detail the design plan that was months in the making. We had two levels of circular stone patios created that connected two separate composite wood decks that likewise were at different elevations. The determination of elevations was critical to this project, and it had to be coordinated with the separate contractor installing the decks, both of which were either complete redesign, or in the case of one, a brand new deck serving new patio doors off the master suite. Creekside worked diligently (six days a week often from shortly after 8 until 6 pm) to both set the proper elevations and properly coordinate with the deck contractor to make sure the stone met the deck stairs perfectly. They also built a grill island, helped create a stunning water feature, and finally installed beautiful landscape lighting In a word, Creekside transformed our home both front and back, as they also did a “front entry makeover” involving new steps and planter boxes all in Unilock Estate wall and Ledgestone steps and coping. The front project, too, is stunning and called upon the great design team to create another masterpiece. Simply put, we could not be more pleased. Five stars are not enough. Before they did our project, I read their on line reviews and thought, no one is this good, for I am not the first make note of their excellence. I was wrong. They are that good. I cannot recommend Mike and his team any more highly. I have a much smaller spring time project and they will be the only bidder.

  I spent probably a full year researching local landscaping companies to help me with my backyard project for a new construction home. After talking to a dozen or so companies and hearing nothing but uninspiring proposals, I found Creekside and knew right away they were the one. Mike listened to our ideas and came up with a plan that was exactly what we were looking for. The price was fair and the work was done extremely well. The only downside is a bunch of jealous neighbors!
