With extensive hardscaping - rock walls, steps, and patio - complete, I've gotten a full experience of their business sense and the importance of their relationships with customers; and I've also witnessed the fruition of their artistry. With the former, I found the communication they encouraged related to budget, shifting scope of work, then followed up with ongoing check-ins, to be refreshing and empowering.

Allison and Brian designed the most beautiful landscaping for our new home with gorgeous plants, trees, boulders, pathways, berms and a patio/fire pit. Their work is excellent and creative, and their team is professional, polite and personable. The subcontractors they recommended were top notch as well. Perfection and a spectacular result is their goal. Our yard is a showpiece and we continue to get compliments from anyone who walks by! Thank you Allison, Brian and Crew for our Durango paradise 😍.

So happy with Down-to-Earth landscaping and gardening. We had a lot of grass that we wanted to get rid of and do more of an interesting landscape project that would enhance the entry of our home. Allison and Brian were wonderful to work with and had such a great eye for detail and functionality. We are very impressed with the entire crew! We will definitely use them again in the future.

Following the construction of our home we were surrounded by a large plot of dirt. Alison and Brian completely transformed our property! They were creative and designed a beautiful outside area for us. The project included planting many trees, bushes, flowers, some sod, use of wood chips, flagstone, creek bed and more. We trusted them to choose the vegetation and placement and I couldn't be happier with the result. They bill fairly and we never worried we were being overcharged for this large-scale project. We've continued to use their company for spring and fall gardening work and on the small

Watching Down to Earth "bloom" over the last several years has been a delight. Our first experience with DTE was a small project in our front flower bed. Everything was professional and well done from the bid to the bed. They were very through with explanations, which included, but not limited to, the cost of the plants and trees and their care when completed. In the spring of 2013 we had a sprinkler system installed and had the same wonderful service. We have recently moved into a home with a yard that needs a face-lift and we are SO excited to work with DTE once again to turn our yard into the
