The Outdoor Craftsman is a truly amazing company. Chris was awesome to work with. And Jose was great as well. Everyone I met was very friendly and professional. I will definitely contact them again in the future.

Multiple design and construction projects at our home completed with excellent quality and professionalism. Scott and his team designed and constructed landscapes that enhance the feel and beauty of our home. It gives us great happiness and we receive regular compliments on our landscape work from neighbors and visitors. The OC team also does a superb job maintaining our landscaping and lawn. They are very responsive to my thoughts and input. I highly recommend Outdoor Craftsman and their work.

Top notch standards in all aspects. I have not worked with an Outdoor Craftsmen employee that did not give excellent service or do a great job. Even the guys that hand shovel snow for us are polite and hard working.

Finishing up our second project with Outdoor Craftsmen. They also do our maintenance. We went from normal to outstanding on our landscape presentation. Unique elements that are signature to this firms design style are conversation pieces when people visit. Always excited to show others our property after these enhancements.

We have had a wonderful experience with Outdoor Craftsmen. They designed and executed a beautiful landscape in our front and back yard, that has resulted in a natural, private but still light filled home setting for us. They have continued to do productive maintenance for us as well, and have promptly troubleshooted/repaired any issues. They have a great feel and talent for Colorado native landscaping, and I highly recommend them.

Outdoor Craftsmen did a phenomenal job managing my yard last year. They repaired my sprinklers, they fertilized, weeded, mowed the lawn and pruned my trees and bushes. They put down new mulch and edged the garden beds which kept everything looking so nice. They kept a close eye on my plants and made suggestions throughout the year to help them improve. They responded very quickly when I encountered a problem and they took care of my yard as though it was their own. They worked very hard to keep my yard looking beautiful and impeccable. Special kudos go to Eric, who drained my sprinkler system on a particularly cold and unpleasant day; and to Jordan, who picked up on all sorts of things I would have missed (and fixed them!); to Thomas for cleaning out my bubble rock pond on a cold and dark day so I could keep it running all winter to support the local wildlife; and to the crew whose work made my neighbors envious.

We are so fortunate to have Outdoor Craftsmen on our side and on our land. They are so excellent it is almost hard to imagine. Their design work is spectacular, far and above what you will find elsewhere. The expertise of every single person at the firm is remarkable, from the team executing the work to the management. Everyone is experienced and knowledgeable about all facets of the project and the skills to accomplish it. They have equipment to handle any project and know how to use it. Without any hesitation and with significant gratitude, we would say they are far, far above and beyond anything we could have imagined. From property assessment and design to selecting the perfect plants to hearing what would please you, they are paying attention. We learned quickly, listen to them, they are experts! Their maintenance options wonderful, consistent and hold the same standards for excellence.Mike and Hansine GoranBoulder Colorado

Outdoor Craftsmen did a wonderful job on our project. The end result is even better than we could have imaged. I highly recommend them!

My experience with them is that they are overpriced and under accomplishing. When the guy who drives their irrigation van is it rude obnoxious immature and extremely sketchy individual who I dont even want to know where I live.

Outdoor craftsman did a beautiful job in the creation of our backyard and front yard space. This was a very educational process for us, and I am sure that at times we might have been difficult because we didn’t understand every detail that goes into the planning and execution of a project like this. We were treated with the utmost respect from everyone that they employ from the project manager, to the men who worked on sight. They took care of every detail and thoroughly explained the process to us along the way, all along while being available at any time to answer the numerous questions or concerns that we had.We have been more than pleased with the landscaping that was done and feel it was worth every penny we put into it. Our family of 5 richly enjoys the backyard and we are out there all the time with each other, which was our goal. It has been awesome to watch the changes occur even as the grasses and plants mature. The front yard went from hated to loved and we are pleased with the ambiance it creates for the entrance of our home. Your suggestions along the way were thoroughly thought out and planned beyond what we would have thought of. Thank you for all of your expertise.

Very pushy project manager, attempting to upsell at any opportunity despite very clear direction about what we wanted to do. Im sure they do good work, but Id watch out for them if you know what you want.

Outdoor Craftsmen did an amazing job on our yard! Scott is a true artist, the design is creative and original. Their placement of boulders, trees, bushes and plants is truly jaw dropping! I have never seen a yard as nice as ours, it was worth every penny!

We used Outdoor Craftsman to design a major makeover to our front and back yards. Our main goal was to eliminate the traditional bluegrass that occupied most of the space and to have a more natural landscape that would use less water in the long run. Outdoor Craftsman did the design and the landscape work. The crew that worked on our project did a great job. They worked every day the weather permitted and worked well as a team. We had major work done in the removal of grass, a concrete patio and rock wall and established trees and shrubs. These were replaced with more natural plantings and landscaping, as well as raised garden beds, new patio block, an outdoor kitchen, pergola and yard lights. We are very pleased with the end result, and working with Outdoor Craftsman has been professional and comfortable.

Outdoor Craftsmen turned my humdrum suburban yard into a work of art! The project took about 6 weeks and it was fairly extensive -- they eliminated all of the grass in the backyard as well as a few dead or dying trees. Then they added 45+ tons of boulders, a bubble rock, several trees and bushes, and hundreds of plants. They also enlarged the concrete patio to make it more functional.My backyard is visible from a popular bike path and I can’t tell you how many people stop to tell me how much they love my new yard. I love it, too!I also loved working with them. Everyone I came into contact with from Outdoor Craftsmen was extremely professional and conscientious. They each took great pride in their work and they very much wanted me to be happy with their work. I think they named their company well because each of them really is a “craftsman”. I highly recommend them.

We have worked with Outdoor Craftsmen since 2016 to design, implement and maintain our landscaping project. Our 10 year old house on a 1 acre lot had minimal builders landscaping when we purchased it. We wanted to create an outdoor living space that incorporated flowering plants, mature evergreens and native elements.When Scott Deemer first looked at our space, he quickly realized what we wanted and created a design to accomplish our goals. This was a large, complicated, and time-consuming project, the results of which we ultimately were and are very pleased with.Attention to quality and detail is a hallmark of the company. Outdoor Craftsmen is just what its name suggests.

Scott and his crew from Outdoor Craftsmen have recently completed a major overhaul of our front and back yards. They gave our yard a lot more depth and character, introducing boulders and steel-work, along with lots of unique and interesting trees and plants.Whats even more spectacular is an outdoor fire pit and pergola they designed and built. Those projects are so artistic and beautiful, along with being functional.The work crews and foreman were always punctual and eager to take care of requests and concerns. They were more expensive than their competitors, but I think totally worth it in the level of craftsmanship, artistry, flexibility and professionalism.

After a year and a half remodel and being out of our house, our yard was completely torn up. We were very involved in the house remodel and by the time we were done and moved back in, we were exhausted. We met with Scott Deemer and told him we were open to ideas. Our designer was Chris Holthouser and he came up with some incredibly unique ideas. We looked at his ideas and tweaked them a bit with our own thoughts and that was it!!! What he did was amazing!! We had to make so many decisions in the house remodel, it was nice to sit back and let them do what they do best. Everyone was professional and respectful of our privacy while they worked in our yard. No loud music and no daily trash to pick up. They kept us informed of the progress and it came out GREAT. We were so happy with the plants, landscaping and hardscapes. We can now sit back and enjoy our beautiful house AND our beautiful landscaping. Several of our neighbors have since hired Outdoor Craftsman after seeing what they did to our house and their homes look amazing, too.

I had three very negative experiences with Outdoor Craftsmen. One in 2011 (which, like a fool, I forgave), one in 2017 and one in 2018.The sum of my experience with Outdoor Craftsmen is that they overcharged and undelivered and were extremely unprofessional, almost bully-like.In 2017, I hired them to do pots for my yard and to do cleanup. Their staff would arrive unannounced and prowl through my yard, oftentimes early in the morning, and startle me as I was getting ready for my day. I complained several times.It was embarrassing to be relaxing and see people I didnt know right outside my bedroom window. Also, they didnt get my approval on work they did and overcharged me significantly. When I informed the manager, he was rude and demanded I pay anyway, even though it hadnt been approved.Before you even start with them, you need to understand they make you spend thousands of dollars for them to create a design for you and then they force you to let them maintain ownership of the design. So, if something doesnt go well, you are out thousands of dollars and you have *nothing* to show for it. I was very reluctant but the owner told me he had my back and would take care of me. That would prove to be untrue.In 2017 and 2018, the owner of the company (Scott Deemer) and one of his designers (Chris Holthouser) put together a design for my yard that they called epic. The price was astronomical. Beyond astronomical (over $700,000!!!!!!!!!) and while the design was cool, it certainly wasnt worth $700,000. My budget was $300,000. But when I asked them to create something less expensive, they couldnt make it happen very effectively.Also, it was getting late in winter, they had forced me to sign a contract saying they owned the design and I felt it would be very difficult for me to start over. So, I swallowed hard, thought about my priorities and decided to just to say yes, believing they would make it totally amazing.They promised me we would start in Spring 2018 (which was a significant wait for me) but when it came time to start, Scott callously informed me that they booked up their schedule and they wouldnt be able to start my project stating, The improved economy continues to give us many good projects to develop for our clients and going on to say their construction schedule is booked.This was after I invested thousands of dollars and several months coming up with a unique design with them.He also went on to say he didnt feel comfortable taking on a project of this magnitude. This was a design he came up with!!! Then he blamed the city (which he said from Day 1 was totally fine.So, if you want to sign a totally one sided contract, work with people who are bullies, pay 2X the going rate in the industry, be dropped at a horrible time and be left without your landscaping dreams fulfilled, then consider hiring this company.But, if you are having second doubts, dont believe me, read the Yelp reviews. Youll see.

Based on our personal experience of 40+ years of owning multiple homes in Boulder County, including two remodels, trying to work with Outdoor Craftsman was by far the worst experience of working with any contractor. Essentially, you are locked into a contract with thousands of dollars invested before you receive any type of estimated final cost. When asked for an estimated cost of the project, we got the evasive answer of somewhere between $10,000 and $1 million - when we finally received the estimated cost of the project, it came back at twice our budget. When we decided not to move forward due to the cost, we were handed a final invoice for the balance of the plan, of which we had only received a plan for about a third of the yard. My advice is to know what you are getting into dollar-wise before signing anything.

Scott Deemer and Outdoor Craftsmen transformed our average landscaping into a dream outdoor living space. Our front yard, formerly a sloppy mix of rock beds, gangly trees and builder-grade juniper bushes is now an absolute work of art. The front of our home is beautifully inviting with stone pavers, a flagstone walkway, nighttime lighting, and a gorgeous array of cool boulders, colorful plants, flowers, and fantastic trees. Our once boring backyard now features a fabulous outdoor kitchen, expanded flagstone patio, awesome fire pit, and vegetable gardens. We checked every box on our wish list to create an outdoor entertaining oasis!The Outdoor Craftsmen team is extremely attentive to detail. They provided good communication, quality materials and a VERY hardworking crew. They managed our large project from concept to completion with the utmost care for our property, respect for our family schedule and concern for our happiness. Scott himself ensured the quality of work at every stage in the process. He is a master of his trade - a true artist. Rarely will you find a vendor so professional. We felt like valued clients from the very beginning. We couldnt be happier and would highly recommend Outdoor Craftsmen.

We love the work Outdoor Craftsmen has done! For us its been an amazing transformation from an outdoor space we didnt want to be in with a lot of overgrown, ratty volunteer stuff to a beautiful border that accents & sets off our home, and provides an inviting place to spend time. We get as many compliments on the landscaping as the house itself.It was a great experience from decision through finish. As with any project this size (scraped the whole lot other than large trees to bare dirt) there were some mistakes but more importantly OC stepped up and handled them.We appreciate the friendliness, courtesy and dedication of the OC crew; they showed so much care in doing the work as if it was their own home.

At the end of 2015 we completed a major re-landscaping project with Outdoor Craftsmen. The project was a complete refresh of our property including building a new backyard paver patio and outdoor kitchen, rebuilding large boulder retaining walls, creating attractive planting space on a very steep, shaded curbside part of our lot, installing new irrigation, sod, trees and plants throughout the property and a new paver driveway to replace our old concrete.The project took three months to complete (as scheduled) and we are very happy with the work. Their crews were extremely hard working, friendly, respectful, prompt and incredibly skilled. Their attention to detail was stellar. Our project manager was highly attentive to our needs and concerns - whether large or small, throughout the entire project from the design aspect through installation and beyond. He was highly responsive and always available for questions/consultation. He was sensitive to our budget and put forth reasonable options for us to discuss and base decisions on.We give OC the highest possible recommendation.

Better options.

Great
