Al, Nicole, Alex, Carlos and the rest of the crew at Yard Elves went above and beyond to redo our front yard landscape. Our yard isnt the easiest with the slope. I initially thought I could tackle the project but I am so glad that I did not attempt it and let Yard Elves to it. They built some of the flag stone patio and one of retaining walls 15 years ago and it was still holding up great but we needed a little more room for the side driveway beside our house.They completely redid the retaining wall and did an amazing job! In addition they did new sprinklers, border rock and even added a river like rock bed. It was looking so good that we ended up hiring them to do additional work to extend our flagstone patio they did 15 years ago. They do the best flagstone work around! Large pieces of flagstone cut to fit in a beautiful puzzle.Even with all the stuff going on in 2020 they were able to knock this out of the park. I know its done right and built to last. I highly recommend them. I will hire them for future projects around my property!
The Yard Elves team just completed my full backyard landscaping and I could not be happier with what they delivered. I was expecting it to look good, but the level of detail and time that they took to make sure that everything was up to their standards exceeded my expectations. The entire team was polite, courteous, and treated my yard as if it were their own. I did not intend to set such a bar for my neighbors, but Yard Elves did nonetheless.
My 20 year old yard needed a refresh. Alan and Nicole provided the vision for a new yard layout and created a plan that they promptly executed. They redid the sprinkler system, removed stumps, regraded and resodded, and thoughtfully chose rocks and plants that would compliment our house. They paused the project when an unexpected home repair came up and even drew from past knowledge to help troubleshoot it. They communicated consistently, everyone on the team was professional, and after the project was done they followed up to ensure that the sod/plants were thriving and made tweaks. I highly recommend Yard Elves for a future project.
Yard Elves has been providing residential lawn, landscape, and snow removal services to us for nearly the entire 25 years of their existence and I cannot possibly say enough good things about this local family-owned and operated business. Alan, Nicole, Calvin, and their entire team at Yard Elves are one of the most professionally responsive and quality-driven service operations I have experienced in my nearly 35 years of owning property in Fort Collins, and I cannot imagine having anyone else ever fulfill our never-ending need for lawn, landscape, and snow removal services for our home and pool-house that are consistently delivered in a timely manner at a reasonable price. I sincerely hope that they have yet another 25 years of so successfully doing the same for their many satisfied customers and clients in northern Colorado !!
Were incredibly happy we decided to have Yard Elves complete a large landscape project in our backyard. Nicole, Allen and all of their crew were wonderful throughout the whole process. They take the time to ensure quality in everything they do, and it really shows in our garden box, berm and the entire design. We were initially impressed with the way they were able to quickly map out a design upon seeing our yard during our initial meeting with them. In talking with them it was clear they were an experienced team. We were also pleased that they went above and beyond to meet a completion deadline we had for the project. We now look forward to spending time in our backyard. As a company they really aim to please and take pride in the quality of their work. We would confidently recommend them to anyone in need of a landscape company.
Alan and Nicole have done excellent work in creating a wonderful landscaping plan for a property I own. It is a rental property. They took a unkept eye sore and developed into a neighborhood highlight! We worked together on the plan before their work began. They are thorough at explaining what they recommend. They kept me updated on the progress and what was coming next through the entire process!The professionalism of their work is obvious to all. I have recommended them to two HOAs!Thank you Alan, Nicole, Alexander and all the staff.
I did my research and went with Yard Elves because they had good reviews. They did not disappoint! Nicole and Alan were great to work with from the very beginning and designed the back yard of my dreams. All of their workers are amazing. They are all professional, kind and extremely hard working. If you want landscaping done right...contact the Yard Elves.
Yard Elves completed a full yard renovation with a sprinkler installation for me. They took on the project during a busy time with fairly short notice. Despite being busy, they did a great job. They were good about paying attention to the details and when unseen issues emerged during the job they took the time to fix them correctly. Whenever decisions were needed, they were quick to get my opinion and always had a lot of knowledge on the subjects. Since the renovation, they have continued to maintain the sprinklers and yard. It has made my life easier since they are always available and maintain everything without issue.
I had a small job to do, and some companies weren’t interested. I called Yard Elves, got a fair estimate within a few days, and they scheduled and completed the job a couple of days later. I was very happy with the whole process and finished job. I highly recommend them.
I cannot express my pleasure or good fortune in finding Yard Elves! They listened to my requests, and courteously and professionally made sure I was happy with their work. They have become like family, and I enjoy every suggestion and conversation we have, both personally and work related. Yard Elves knows how to implement your vision for your landscape, and executes it with loving care to you and your home or business. I look forward to a long-lasting relationship, and I know the owners, and their employees, will treat you with respect and consideration! Thank you, Yard Elves, for your outstanding work ethics and the care you take with every request!!
Just had a project completed by Yard Elves. The entire process was very easy and team was a pleasure to work with. They had many ideas to help make the yard look better. I would highly recommend them and look forward to using their services again.
This is a bit of a long review, but in a nut shell, they are professional, friendly, and do amazing work! We recommend them and will continue to use them for our landscaping needs in the future. If you are looking for details read below:Called in July to have new weed barrier laid and to replace some rock in our back yard. We also needed some sprinkler maintenance and a small rock patio built. Our weeds were out of control and general upkeep wasn’t working. Nicole came out and we talked about what I was looking for. She said that she could get the rock, sprinklers and weed barrier taken care of in the next 3 weeks but it would be September before they would be able to get to the patio, which was totally fine. The guys that came out to work on the project were professional. They didn’t leave trash in my yard (this has happened before with other companies) and they were friendly with my dogs. Alex repaired my sprinklers and then we did a walk through to address some of my concerns with making sure that my garden for next year would have water and that all my trees and plants were getting enough water. This last week we were suppose to have some lower temperatures and I had made arrangements with another company to have my sprinklers blown out the next week but Nicole was worried that might be a bit late and offered to do it with the final sprinkler changes. She was right, we got some freezing temps and some snow. I appreciate that she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure that we were protected. The patio that she built for us was more than we expected. It was beautiful. We were not entirely sure what we wanted but we had an idea. She gave us lots of options on what she thought might look good and she really listened to what we wanted our patio to look like. We recommend them to anyone looking to have any landscaping project done, small or big.
Alex with Yard Elves did a fabulous job for us. We had several drip lines that were eaten by the rabbits, he located all of them and repaired them. Then did a yard clean up. We had quite the accumulation of leaves and pine needles under our trees. He and his crew raised the canopies on the huge pine trees and cleaned up all the debris under and around them. He was on time, worked very hard and our yard looked great and the drips were fully functional. Highly recommend this company.
This Family owned and operated business provides friendly professional services. Everything looks great; from the landscape renovation, to the custom flagstone patio addition. They do not stop caring after the install is complete; providing lawn maintenance, aeration, and full sprinkler services. Id recommend them for both personal property and business!
Yard Elves has done a wonderful job taking care of the mowing and trimming of my yard when we have not be able to do this task. They also fixed part of my fence that had previously blown down due to being old and a wind storm. They have fit me into their tight schedule when I had a last minute request for my yard to be mowed. I am looking forward to them helping me with redoing my old outdated sprinkler system and clean up that is needed in my yard as well as using their expertise in adding plants/flowers to my yard. Have always found them to be very pleasant when dealing with them no matter if it was office staff or field staff.
Nikki and her crew are amazing! Truly great people. Fantastic work!
Yard Elves did a total re landscaping of my backyard this spring. Initially, the job was beautifully done. However, about mid summer, the fescue sod which they laid down started to die. It took me almost a month of constant phone calls and emails (only 2 of which were returned) to get them to come out and take a look. They admitted that there was a definite problem with the sod, and promised that they would get back to me right away after contacting the sod farm about what should be done. They even took several photos.It has been a month. They never came back. Never called. Nothing. I have given up on Yard Elves. I cannot recommend them as they do not take responsibility for fixing what is wrong, even when they acknowledge the problem. I will have to re sod the yard - with a different landscaper.
Do NOT hire this company for snow removal. Terrible service, unprofessional people sent out all winter, bills sent 6 months late! Many better choices!!!!
Yard Elves did a large landscaping project 13 years ago which came out beautifully and we have been using them ever since for irrigation, plowing and lawn care. They are prompt and everything gets taken care of automatically.
Fast and friendly! Ive used Yard Elves Landscaping for years on all of my home projects and they transformed my yards into masterpieces! The family themselves were very helpful and very friendly, working through obstacles and around my budget. I highly recommend Yard Elves to anybody who needs any landscaping work done. I am a repeat customer and I will continue to use their services as long as they are around. Thank you Yard Elves for the gorgeous yards, my pup couldnt be happier with his back yard play area, and my Fiancee and I couldnt be happier with the price.
Yard Elves is the best lawn care service Ive used. Ive used them a few times, and theyve always been very helpful and professional. They show up when promised, and the results have always been fantastic. I would recommend Yard Elves to anyone looking for a lawn care service in Northern Colorado.
I can’t say enough good things about this company. They recently did a complete remodel of our front and back yards. It turned out absolutely fantastic. In addition, they also replaced our completely screwed up sprinkler system. They are super hardworking, clean and organized. They kept me updated on their progress and completed the job in a timely manner. We couldn’t be more pleased.
Yard Elves does high quality work! They installed red stripstone edging for some flower beds, stripstone around a large red flagstone walkway and a large cement pad/patio that would support a hot-tub at my first property in 2013. The cement pad/patio has not cracked or chipped and the pour was very smooth. The walkway was done in such a way that it is rare that weeds ever take hold in the cracks between the pavers. This home was new construction so there is often shifting and settling that happen with the clay soils. For the items Yard Elves installed, there seems to be no problems with the clay soil. The front step of the home that was poured by the builders is experiencing wash away of soil from underneath but the Yard Elves installed patio is not having that problem. If you want quality work done that wont require a redo in 5-10 years, contract with Yard Elves!
DO NOT USE THEM. They took my $100 deposit, claimed they mowed twice (citing dates and times, which we know are not true), refuse to return the deposit, and now will not return phone calls or emails.
I wish more companies were as trustworthy, knowledgeable and cared about the customer/people as yard elves does. I have worked with Nicole and Alan for 12 years on multiple projects. Not only did they install my entire landscape design impeccable according to the architect, but the work was done in a very quick time frame and was seriously amazing. I had so many compliments from neighbors on the detail of the work. The crew and job managers are so respectful and detailed in the work. They totally respect your property and are considerate to neighbors. The irrigation system for the lawn and drip system I have never had problems with and this is after 12 years. When repairs and maintenance does occur they have the upmost skilled technician available, who will explain everything in detail on site. Over the years, I have had yard elves come refresh the property (the most resent June 2018), mow and do general maintenance, and now will be using them to upscale my backyard Koi pond! I am so excited to have them give their Koi pond expertise to my back yard. Not many landscape companies know anything about pond installation or maintenance, but trust me, you want a company who knows about ponds! One thing most people dont know or appreciate is that they have a vast amount of knowledge regarding tree and shrub health and have contacts with local experts regarding disease and weed mitigation. These folks hit the ball out of the ball park every time. I highly recommend them. Melinda Poland.
