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.

From day one Creekside performed above their competitors. The bidding process was far more professional than their peers, this alone weighed heavily on our decision. We were upfront about timing letting all prospects know that implementation may be a year or 2 away. This may have influenced how some responded. Mike and Creekside didnt flinch at this. The design phase was phenomenal! It was clear that Mike took detailed notes on his first visit. After a short discussion with the designer the wheels were in motion. The initial design was breathtaking and no major changes were warranted. It was like they were in my head seeing my vision perfectly! The implementation was seamless. The crew was professional and it is clear that all members of the Creekside team take pride in their work! In 20 years of dealing with contractors as part of my profession, I have never worked with a group that maintained such high professionalism on all levels. Creekside is superb and delivers quality service!

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!

I have used Creekside Outdoor Living in a variety of capacitys from personnel to commercial and all of my experiences have been the same, fantastic!I have had Creekside Outdoor Living mow and fertilize my yard, and it has never looked better. They show up on time and do consistent quality work each time.Further, Creekside installed at brand new bar with pergola at the Gary RailCats stadium where I work and it couldnt have turned out better! They really can make any idea come to reality!

Creekside did a great job on our landscaping project. They listened to what we wanted/needed and came up with a wonderful design for our backyard. When any issues came up they were willing to make it right. They were on time, worked really hard to finish in a timely manner, and wanted to make sure we were happy when the job was completed. They also do a wonderful job mowing our lawn weekly. We can tell the guys that do the cutting take pride in their work. Overall, this company is great to work with and we will continue to be a client of theirs.

We hired Creekside to do the landscaping at our new home this year and they did a fantastic job. We had so many compliments from our neighbors. Nice work!

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 lightingIn 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.

Creekside did an AMAZING job from the quote process, to final product! We did a landscape refresh project, and Creekside was both interactive and adaptive throughout the whole project. Mike personally sent interactive videos explaining landscape ideas, provided great inputs to our plant and bush selections, and adapted to changes along the way. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

THANK YOU Creekside! I know Diane and I had a 3-D Design of what the Patio & Landscape would look like, but not even in our wildest dreams did we expect what we believe is a spectacular finished product. We have had well over 30 people stop and tour the patio and landscaping and of course Creekside is mentioned with an offer of your contact information. However, the best comment was made by 3 ladies who stopped, admired the finished product and said talk about making a statement.Even our fur babies, Annabelle and Holly, love the patio. On Friday evening they took a self-guided tour of the upper and lower patios, walked up the stairs as if they were going to go in the house and turned and jumped off the side ledge and started playing.Finally the crew... simply wonderful! They made a number of suggestions that have enhanced the project such as additional step lights, river rock for better drainage and the placement of the plants and shrubs. I have attached a picture we took last night, but the picture does not show the entire finished product.Next year we will be seeking your help and guidance to finish the South side of the house along with the front which we hope can include a small Magnolia Tree.Once again, thank you for everything!

If you want a company that does quality work, Creekside is the one to go with! Mike was always very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Mario and his crew did amazing work! I will definitely call Creekside for all my landscaping needs and would recommend them to anyone.

They did great work at my house. Both with the backyard patio and then later with my walkway. Along with the great job they did, Im so glad they told me about the lighting in the brick

Landscape design and implementation. Everyone we dealt with were very professional, timely, and we were so pleased with the outcome of our project.

Mike was great to work with. Having a smaller backyard area they were still able to create the space I wanted. They did a wonderful job!

Used them multiple times to help me with my rental properties. Perfect grass, great efficiency and great people. :)

They did good work and found creative ways to work with us to stay in our budget!

Mike and his team from Creekside were absolutely wonderful to work with. The work they did on my parents landscaping was phenomenal so we had them do repair landscaping for our home! Their price was fair, they were timely, and professional. They had to completely take apart past work and reset it properly, as well as move some borders and remove bushes as well as trees. They did the work and our dogs were not even upset at the crew working! Our front yard looks very nice and the front landscaping is no longer falling apart! It was great that they were unable to utilize material that we already had, it saved us a bit of money. We will not hesitate to give them a call if there are any problems, and we have been reassured that they will help if there are any concerns come Spring. We will absolutely call them to complete our next project! Definitely give Mike and his team a call!

Great work from all divisions. Very nice cuatomer service

I would highly recommend Creekside Outdoor Living for your landscaping needs. It was time for us to take down our pool after 16 years as it was hardly being used anymore and we were ready to reclaim our backyard. However, our yard was not initially graded correctly so we had a water problem to contend with first. Creekside did a great job with figuring out the problem and providing a solution!! It was a big job, but they did it correctly and our water problem was solved!! Then they moved on to landscaping our backyard. We knew what we wanted and Mason was awesome with making sure everything was completed to our requests!! We are extremely happy with our yard, no more squishy grass!!! And the natural pine tree border looks beautiful!! They provide great quality, at a fair price. Mason was tuned in to our requests and very responsive and punctual!! He even came back after the job was completed to be sure we were happy with our results!! You can rely on Creekside to take care of your landscaping needs!!

We contracted with Creekside to re-landscape our house. Mason was great to work with - very responsive to what we wanted. We had their landscape architect draw up a design and she worked with us until it was what we wanted. Both she and Mason were very respectful of our budget. There was zero pressure to spend more, the workers were friendly, hard working and cleaned up when finished each day. Mason was on site every day making sure everything was done correctly. I would highly recommend Creekside!

We hired Creekside to replace the retaining walls and stairs leading from our house down the hill to the lake in front of our house. It was not a simple task but Creekside did a wonderful job creating a 2-tiered retaining wall, replacing the deteriorated wood that was there when we purchased our home, with retaining block and stone coping, which transformed our yard into a relaxing space where we can actually enjoy the view. Creekside went above and beyond our expectations by enhancing the original design with their insight and expertise. They made suggestions and paid attention to details that we might otherwise have overlooked like built-in lighting and the beautiful Rosetta stone walkway that we had not envisioned ourselves. From the beginning of the project until the end, we were treated with kindness and respect from everyone in the company. Our questions were taken seriously and answered honestly and promptly. We could not have asked for a better experience and we will definitely call on Creekside again for any landscaping projects in the future. We would highly recommend Creekside for your next landscaping project!

Mike and his team did a phenomenal job reconstructing our deck and patio. We were unsure of what we wanted to be done, but with Creekside’s design software they were able to show us many options and we were able to construct our perfect outdoor living space. We had both our back deck and front patio completely reconstructed and they finished in just 3 weeks! They worked through both the snow and cold weather. Talk about exceptional service! I would absolutely recommend Creekside to those who are looking for their perfect outdoor living space!

These guys work at the top of the professional level! The landscaping around our home had gotten out of control. Mike designed a new look for us that would require less maintenance, back in 2017. The crew members that did the work were all conscientious workers. The work was done during October and November of 2017. The old landscape was removed. A smaller area was designed with a brick border with grass planted in the former landscape area. Many of the days were cold and damp. These guys never quit. It was too late in the season for some plantings so they were planted the following spring. A few plants didnt survive the winter and were replaced in the spring as guaranteed. I highly recommend Creekside landscaping.

Creekside helped us with our new construction home including front and back sod, stylish landscaping (using cool 3D interactive software), and a full sprinkler system. Mason was fantastic at communicating and putting in the extra mile on the job site. Highly recommend Creekside for your next landscaping project.

Excellent work, great workers and the owner is incredible at getting you scheduled in at a timely manner. Had our work done in late October and only took 5 days to complete the work. I would highly recommend calling Mike Arnold for any landscaping that needs to be done on your beautiful home!

Update:I got my work done and it exceeded my expectations for my awful yard. I spoke with Mike, and he explained it had been a mess of a summer and apologized for the inconvenience. I believe this was an off season for them and not how they usually run business.Creekside did a great job of filling in a low spot of my yard and putting in drainage tiles in April or so, which I imagine was their off season and that was why it was such great service.Ive had a contract signed with them since May (I think) to redo a lot of my yard and Ive been pushed off for almost 3 months now. I was given a date around the middle of June with no show. I waited a couple weeks and called for an update. I was given a reason that it was rainy weather and they had a staff shortage. I was understanding. I was also understanding each time I called or emailed about an update for the following 2 months. Then I started getting a next weekend answer from them. Then wed get a day or two of rain, so I figured it would get pushed back. I kept calling and calling and finally had the utility company come out and mark my yard. Okay, great! Any day now. That was 3 or 4 weeks ago now. Then I got a on Saturday if theres only one day of rain this week answer about 2 weeks ago. There was a day of rain so I figured sometime the next week. It wasnt.I called today and was told I would get a call back in 45 min when someone was out of a meeting. Up until this point, I was always told we just reworked the schedule and youre schedule to start [fill in blank]. Well its been about three hours now. When I called, a girl named Amber answered and transferred me to Ginas phone, which was not set up for voicemail. Then I called back immediately to talk to Amber, and no one answered.I cant tell if theyre about to go out of business so theyre giving everyone the run around or what. Im thinking of either demanding my deposit back or asking for a very steep discount because this is just appalling. If I were one of the receptionists and had to deal with all of their complaining customers, Id be pretty embarrassed and not work there. They probably take a lot of abuse.

Owner took his contact information off his truck because he drives so irresponsibly. Not only that, but he got in arguments on tik tok when people called him out on his reckless driving habits. He mentioned phone calls happened weekly, just how terrible of a person and driver do you have to be to get calls weekly?I couldnt imagine how badly this company would cut corners if this person is this reckless, rude, and difficult. Nice looking website though. In the words of our buddy Mike Just triggering people hahaNice website though.

In the Spring of 2017, we needed to have extensive sewer work done on our property. This partly entailed digging up our existing backyard patio, which was quite old and out of style. We wanted a new one that was of a more modern design.We were very impressed when we contacted Creekside Landscaping for an estimate on the project. Mike Arnold came out on a Saturday and showed us what could be done at a price that was within our budget, using a design very up-to-date that we never imagined.The patio was installed and completed in a very timely manner. Crew members were very industrious and answered all of our questions and concerns.Mike, Bob and crew were very helpful to work with. The design included some plants that we liked from our old patio. They also added new plants that we had never before heard of but worked out beautifully in the design.All-in-all, we were absolutely pleased with the price, workmanship, and overall appearance of the patio and will definitely refer Creekside Landscaping to others.

This was the only company to call back for our project, and I am so glad they did. The patio looks great, and they left the yard as good as I had it before the job started. I will definitely call them for our next project.

Hands down the best landscaping company. The best thing about Mike and his guys were they were always consistent with their products and getting the job done by the deadline. They brought our lawn back to life from what was mostly weeds and dirt! I will never let another company touch our lawn! I look forward to many more sessions with them!

We partnered with Creekside to landscape our new construction house. From the first meeting, Mike and his team made us feel like family, and wanted to understand what we wanted (not trying to sell us on what he wanted). The design team put together a fantastic 3D drawing for us to review, and modifications were simple, and sent back very quickly for review. Once we finalized a design, Mike and his team were very transparent on pricing, and even suggested ways to reduce cost if desired (mulch instead of rock, natural edging instead of aluminum, etc.). Once we signed the contract and agreed on a start date, Mike and his team were very efficient in completing the job. The Creekside team were fantastic and made sure we “signed off” on all aspects of the installation. Once complete, they cleaned up the job site, and made it seem like they were never there! After installation, Mike and the team made sure to stop by and check out the sod, while making sure all the plants and trees were in good shape. What I love about Creekside is that the “job” doesn’t just end after installation, they make sure that you are 100% satisfied throughout the process, and even after! I would highly recommend Creekside for your next job!

We enlisted Creekside to create us the back/side yard of our dreams! We met with 4 other landscaping companies and no one compared to Creekside from initial consultation and ideas to the incredible 3-D presentation of our project. I felt like I was on an episode of an HGTV show. Thank You Creekside for our end project being as amazing as the design. And for having the ability to see our vision to completion.

Could not be happier with our new brick patio and landscaping! The crew was professional, hard working and Bob was a perfectionist!Owner provides outstanding customer service! We would recommend these guys to anyone in the region!

Love my patio. The finished product is awesome. Mike and Bob were very easy to work with. Everyone at Creekside is very courteous and professional. I highly recommend them.

We just had a house built and had Creekside do the landscaping around the entire house, sod the entire yard, and patio in the back yard. Mike and crew were very pleasant to deal with. I would, and have recommended them several times already. Thanks for your hard work guys!

Last fall/winter we were looking for someone to do a yard cleanup. We live on a corner and get many oak leaves from neighbors who do not take care of their property. With that being said, they came out when we were not at home and there was not a leaf, branch or debris anywhere on the property. So, when we decided to update our landscaping, we called Creekside. Great contact with staff. They were polite, professional and hard working. Job was done in no time. Love the new updated look!

We had Creekside install a patio & fire pit, as well as plants around the house. Weve been very pleased with their services and will use them for future landscaping projects. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

Mike and Bob and their crew are terrific. Bob asked us what we wanted and didnt want when it came to our patio design and then let his artistry do the rest. We now have a beautiful patio, better than wed hoped for, and were able to repurpose our old pavers as another part of the project. We were so pleased, in fact, that we also had Creekside design and install a new front walkway, steps and retaining wall for us! That project exceeded our expectations, too. Wed highly recommend Creekside Landscaping!!!

Creekside put in a new patio at my mother-in-laws and she is very impressed. Mike even suggested a much better design then we had originally asked for and its really beautiful. I would not hesitate to hire them again. The crew was very polite and they did a great job of cleaning up at the jobs end.

Very happy with the finished patio and walkway. CreekSide did an awesome job.

These guys are great!! We needed a paver wall on the side of the driveway, and wanted someone professional to do it because we were worried about drainage issues. Mike came out, and gave us a quote that was significantly lower than a few of the other places I called! When they came out to do the work, the crew got the demo and construction done in two days! They were friendly, and let me add another tier no problem! They did wonderful work, and I would definitely hire them again!Oh- and the final bill was LESS than the quote.. gotta love that!!

Mike and his crew did a big landscape job and some outdoor lighting for me. I am very happy with the work! Every question I had was answered and he followed up along the entire process. I was so happy they are now finishing a retaining wall for me.

We had Creekside do the brick and stone around our pool and deck. The work they did was phenomenal and at a very fair price. There crew was very polite to both me and my wife. I highly recommend them and will be calling them again next summer to do more work to our yard.

Creekside Landscaping put a gorgeous patio and fire pit in our backyard. The entire crew was thorough, knowledgable, and pleasant to work with. Our back yard is now a place we can relax with family and friends. I highly recommend Creekside Landscaping and will use them for any future projects at our house!

Creekside was professional and efficient with their installation and Mike even brought up a few ideas I hadnt thought of to better enhance our backyard retreat. I will be recommending Creekside in the future.

Creekside did an amazing job designing and installing landscaping around our deck and house They were professional They listened to us and helped us find solutions to remain on budget and were even able to work within our strict time frame to get the work completed in time for our sons wedding They were awesome to work with I would hire them again without question

Im so glad my brother referred Creekside Landscaping to me. They did an awesome job on my backyard patio. couldnt have turned out any better.

They did a great job on my retaining walls and they did it in a timely fashion.

Great staff. Very reasonable pricing. Good people to deal with.

Mike and his men did an excellent job on my courtyard. It really makes a difference in the way the front looks.

We hired Creekside to do basic landscaping for our new construction home in September of 2017, and that was the biggest mistake we could have made.When we were researching landscaping companies in NWI, I came across all of these wonderful reviews and pictures that people were sharing about Creekside, so my husband and I decided to call them for a quote. Mike, the owner, met us at our new home. He was very friendly and informative. We received the quote for our project from him on the same day, and we let him know within a week that we had decided to hire them to do the job. When Mike met my husband to have him sign the contract and collect the deposit check, he informed my husband that they were a few weeks out from getting to our project, which was no problem at all.The middle/end of October came around and Bob, the guy in charge of our project, came by our house to introduce himself, let us know where he was at with starting our project, etc. Wow, that was great!After the first interaction with Bob, everything went downhill from there.1) Our project was not started when we were told it would be and Bob never once communicated that to us. In fact, Bob was absolutely terrible at communicating with us during the entire time that we dealt with him, or this company. Our project was started one day, then the crew didnt show for a few days, then would come back to work again, etc. etc. Never bothered to call or communicate in any way. November had arrived and all we had on our property were buried downspouts and landscaping bricks. No visible signs of Bob and his crew for about two weeks, no phone calls to let us know when he was coming back to finish, or what we were looking at as far as timeline. We were extremely frustrated at this point.2) To top off our frustrations with Bob and the lack of progress on our project, the Creekside office called my husband to let him know that they never received our deposit check. What?? The funny thing is, my husband personally handed our deposit check to Mike, the owner, on the day our contract was signed in September (the 22nd to be exact), and my husband told the woman that. Long story short, when the woman in the office called my husband back, she said she had spoke with Mike and he said that he remembers my husband giving him the check but he had lost it between the time he picked it up from our house and went to the airport for a personal trip that day.At this point we were so unbelievably aggravated and fed up. My husband called Creekside and spoke with the manager. He told the manager that we were not going forth with their company and we would just pay them for the little work they had completed. The manager insisted that we stick with them, gave him this whole speech about how Bob was new to the foreman position and that he needs to learn to communicate, blah blah blah...We gave them another chance, and we were so stupid to do so.We had to have the lost check voided, pay a fee to have it voided (Creekside did, however, reimburse us), and then issue Creekside a new deposit check. The manager spoke to Bob, and Bob made sure to have our project complete within two weeks (at this point in time, the weather was very cold and rainy). We are now looking into the middle of November.Bob told us that he was adding us to their list to have our sod rolled again with their machine the first thing in the spring. Spring came, and Bob left a message on my husbands voicemail letting us know that if we needed anything to give him a call, but never came to roll the sod.As the weather started getting nicer, our sod had started dying and coming up in quite a few spots and a few bushes looked dead. My husband called Bob and Bob said that he would come out to take a look and figure out what they needed to do. Never called, never came by, never had our sod rolled or our dead bushes replaced.You have lost a customer, and we have been and will continue to tell people about our horrible experience. Money was thrown in the garbage.

The work was well planned out and the men how did the work are very creative and are very easy to discuss details with. They were very professional.

Definitely a great business to call, theyre prompt and respectable and put their customers first! I would recommend them to everyone!

Creekside landscaping did a phenominal job on giving us a backyard we now want to spend all of our time in. When looking to re-do our backyard and rip out our deck we consulted with MANY landscaping companies. Creekside was the only one to not only present us with a 3-D image/video of what we could expect with them, but also to make a plan that we couldnt have imagined ourselves while playing into our personalities and all the things we had mentioned would be nice. Their design team is extremely talented and from the moment we saw what our backyard could look like, we knew it needed to look like what they showed us. The on-site crew was also very talented, professional, and worked with us to modify the project as needed during implementation. They were patient, knowledgable, and patient. With any hiccups that came along in our project, Creekside as a whole tried to make sure we were informed and happy customers. Their customer service is really great and even after the completed project, we are still able to contact them and ask for help on how to winterize our fountain. I truly do not think another landscaping service could deliver the way they did. With that, I would recommend them if you are looking for innovative design, craftsmanship, and service.

Rude in the phone. Wouldn’t bother

One of the best companies in Indiana, if you need any landscaping or patios work, dont hesitate to call ...
