Waterwise Landscapes

From design to installation to maintenance, WaterWise employees were professional, knowledgable and went above and beyond to communicate with us. We love our yard and could not imagine a better experience.

I am happy to recommend Waterwise Landscapes! Hunter has developed several design plans for different parts of our property and is thoughtful in his planning and very flexible in making changes as we discuss the plans over time. His crews are hardworking and thorough. They have made some suggestions to me that were not in the original work plan that were helpful when we ran into unexpected circumstances on the ground. We have a third project with this group in Spring 2021 and I look forward to the planning and implementation of this final phase. Hunter is always available to provide advice after the project is completed and his prompt to remedy any problem that might arise. I appreciate the professional and friendly approach practiced by all members of this business.

After in person consult, owner sent us two pencil sketches with no estimates attached and charged $500. We called repeatedly, over months, to get some estimates to go with the rudimentary sketches, and never heard back. Then got a voicemail asking if we had any questions. Yeah, no. The woman working for them who consults on water systems was great. Otherwise, lame experience. Obviously, we chose not to hire them for any landscaping.

We hired Waterwise to plant some expensive trees (>$500 each) and install a small section of privacy fence - 2 panels x 1 panel in an L. The first winter 5 trees were blown over because they hadn't been staked. Waterwise came back and replanted them but the crew who did the work were clueless about how to stake a tree. I had to redo all the staking. Fortunately the trees lived. After about 2 years the long leg of the fence blew over because the posts weren't properly dug into the ground. They charged me over $500 to fix the fence. Less than a year later, a different post is ready to come out of the ground. Needless to say, I'm fixing it myself. Hire them at your own risk.

In every aspect of their work the Waterwise team performs to perfection. Great communication is a hallmark of their process. Hunter Ten Broeck listened carefully to our ideas and goals, worked with us to solve some design challenges, and applied his expertise to achieve a vision beyond our expectations. The project required removing the unsatisfactory work of a previous contractor, which was done quickly, and for lower cost than we imagined. The workers checked in with us regularly to be certain that all details were in agreement with our wishes. The result was an amazing transformation of our garden. Waterwise also handles yearly maintenance for our Homeowners Association, and they keep our common areas looking natural but well tended.
