I hired Sundown to redo failing retaining walls on a back yard that was more steep than it is long and wide. They took a slope that would be given a black diamond rating if snow covered and transformed it into a terraced design that allows for three useful usable areas. But that’s not what is the most impressive. I’m also an absentee homeowner (yay army life…) and throughout the multi-step process, Jacob emailed me regular progress photos from the day they started work, through the entire process, and the completion of each step – walls, fence, irrigation, stairs, everything. He kept me updated on design snags and circumstances and options to deal with them that needed to be decided on as they went. This job is worth every penny of the $37K spent to make an awesome yard. My tenants are currently enjoying it, but I look forward to moving back home and lounging on my lawn. In 2 years I’ll redo the front yard, and I won’t bother asking around, I’ll be calling Sundown. The scope of this job was so huge, I fully expect them to add it to their website portfolio. I’m super impressed; other companies gave me estimates for the same job that were nearly double.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sundown Landscaping since 2001. They installed the original landscaping on the property surrounding our newly built home, and completely re-did the totally burned landscape following the Waldo Canyon Fire. This includes everything–rock retaining walls, trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, perennials, sod, mulch, and stone. Bob Meldon and his crew are always reliable, respectful, professional, and best of all–fun to work with. They are very knowledgeable about plant materials suited to the Colorado Springs climate and soils. My neighbors, and everyone who drives by, compliment my yard, saying it has the best landscaping on the street! I highly recommend Bob Meldon and Sundown Landscaping!
Sundown replaced a crumbling, landscape timber retaining wall with boulders and completed a design and planting of both the front and back yards. The last step was installing a drip irrigation system. The work was done quickly and beautifully. I’m impressed and will definitely refer Sundown Landscaping to friends. Thanks for taking a rocked yard and giving it life!
I hired Sundown Landscaping to replace some damaged drain pipes, rebuild a washed out rock bed and install a bridge over the rock. They also built up the dirt along the entire back side of the house and put in a beautiful mulch border. All of the workers were very professional and a pleasure to work with. They were very knowledgeable and made several recommendations. I would recommend them for any project.
My grandmother had her yard done by Bob (the owner) and his crew. She and I were both very impressed with them. They were quick, efficient, and did a great job. Very friendly people that know what they are doing when it comes to landscaping and irrigation. I highly recommend them!
These fellas are simply the best contractors I’ve ever dealt with. Prompt, clean, professional, creative, are only a few of the adjectives I would use to describe them. I can’t wait to have them back for more projects.
They really do try to make you happy. Everyone was extremely nice and I am happy with the finished product. The job was completed timely and for a reasonable price. I found most landscaping companies couldn’t even be bothered to show up. Sundown showed up when they said they would.
Bob & his crew have done a wonderful job of landscaping my front and back yards. I had no idea where to start, so Bob sat down with me & created a beautiful design that fit within my budget. Everything they’ve planted has come back strong every year. More recently they installed a beautiful pondless water feature in my back yard. I love it!! Such a relaxing addition to my home.
Laurie and I have very much enjoyed working with you on the landscaping. You can be sure we will be referring you to our friends and contacting you for any future needs. Thanks for your great work!
Thanks to Sundown Landscaping I have the best looking yard in the neighborhood. I feel lucky to have found a trustworthy and dependable landscaper. The professional staff are first rate.
