Lasting Impressions Landscape Services Inc

We are happy to day we have finally found a landscape contractor we can rely on and does exceptional work. We had several phases of work performed by them. Tony Cordes and Lasting Impressions Landscape restored our faith in landscape contractors. The water feature design and end result are absolutely gorgeous. The retaining walls and walk ways not only added function and beauty but enhanced the value of our property. In addition to all the hardscape services Tony and his company also provided erosion and water control. Installing several lines of drain tile and reshaping our side yard as to cure water intrusion issues.  <br /> We had specific desires and needs - Tony Cordes not only listened to these but took them to another level. His crew was professional and respectful of our property. We had several estimates done - we found them to be in the average range - however the attention,  execution & creativity made this the best value by a mile. While constructing our pond (approx 15x22 and 5 feet deep) Tony treated every stone and curve as it were a painting. The end result exceeded our already high expectations. We were having an addition done soon after we started some of our landscaping - Tony worked seamlessly with our general contractor and was another reason we had him back for the final phase of yard work after our addition was complete. <br /> If mother nature ever stops this winter - we will take some photos and post - they are gorgeous.  It is always fun to see neighbors and friends as they see the yard for the first time - eyes pop wide open - just another validation to us that we made the right choice for a landscape contractor. <br /> So in summary if you are you tired of inconsistent and undependable landscape contractors and are looking for a contractor that has vision, creativity, listens to his clients needs, someone that can execute and deliver and go that extra mile for their client you will find it at Lasting Impressions. If you are searching for a landscape contractor that delivers highest level quality of service at (what I feel are) average prices -  we confidently recommend Lasting Impressions and Tony Cordes.  <br /> <br />

Tony and his crew did a great job!  I was building a new deck and the retaining wall was going under the new deck stairs.  We also had an upcoming family event planned at our home.  So Tony had to wait for my deck framing to be done before he could start his work, and I wanted the job done before our planned event.  No problem.  Tony arranged his schedule to come in the day after my deck framing and was done in plenty of time for our event.  And when I insisted the bobcat not be used because of our yard being so soft from all the rain, he had no problem or hesitation and just wheelbarrowed  all the material back. Tony had great and creative ideas for how to design the patio and landscaping.  He and his crew showed up the first day and got to work.  It appeared heavy rain was coming in that night, so they worked a 12 hour day to ensure the pavers were all laid before the rain hit.  The next morning they were back to handle the wall and landscape.  A very hard working crew.  They were in and out in two days. I talked to Tony a number of times over a two-week period before deciding on a contractor.  He was quick to return calls and came out to the house multiple times to look at the area, offer ideas and discuss options. VERY satisfied with Tony and his crew, the quality of the work and appearance of the final product.

He is committed to excellence and is very good at following through--very conscientious. We had two weddings this summer and he was there before the weddings to ensure that everything looked good and to touch up where needed. I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

WE HAD A FEW PEOPLE COME OUT AND GIVE US ESTIMATES. WHEN LANDIMAGES CAME OUT AND GAVE US AN ESTIMATE, THEY WERE VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND THOUGHT THEY COULD REALLY WORK WITH US TO DO THE LANDSCAPING WITHIN OUR BUDGET. WHEN ALL WAS DONE, WE SPENT ALMOST 3 TIMES WHAT OUR BUDGET WAS. WE DID DECIDE TO GET MORE EXPENSIVE STONE, BUT WE DID NOT GET ANY TREES OR SHRUBS AND DECIDED TO DO THAT ON OUR OWN TO HELP CUT COSTS. WE THOUGHT IT TURNED OUT GOOD, BUT IT WAS LARGER THAN EXPECTED. THEY HAD ALSO REMOVED MORE LAWN THAN NEEDED SO OUR SOD COST MORE THAN IT SHOULD HAVE. THE STONEWORK HAD LEANED BACK BECAUSE THE BACKFILL WAS NOT COMPLETED AS MUCH AS NEEDED. THE CREW LAID THE SOD AND THEY HAD A PROBLEM GETTING BACK TO STRAIGHTEN THE STONE. WE HAD TOLD THEM PRIOR TO THAT, BUT THERE SEEMED TO BE COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS BETWEEN THE CREWS.
