Full disclaimer: I DID NOT use them based on our interactions during estimates. But our HOA sent out a letter to residences that this group fraudulently told homeowners they had HOA and city of Castle Rock water approval, and they did not. Buyer beware.

We just completed a project with mile high landscaping a week ago and we are thrilled with the quality of the work that They completed. We had them install a pergola and also some trees in our backyard that turns our backyard into a terrific entertaining space.

New owner, no supervision. Sloppy and unprofessional. Fountain installation was a disaster, and now leaking. Linx bbq installed incorrectly, now broken. Had to hire sprinkler guy to fix their improper installation. Huge expense and completely disappointed in end result. It's been a disaster. New owner is absolutely clueless. It's a job done for my elderly parents last name Thomas so sadly this is a real review for people who paid far too much for such a horrible experience. My parents had to hire another mason and contractor to repair stone work.

I called Mile High Landscaping based on their impressive portfolio. Within a week Will came out to get a feel for what would work best and fit my budget. He came back with a full design plan and with a couple of small tweaks here and there we were ready to hit the ground running. I trusted Will to create something awesome within my budget and he did not disappoint! I was able to get squeezed in a full month early.
Construction took about 1.5 weeks and before I knew it my backyard was transformed into a beautiful oasis. The plant and trees Will recommended are all thriving and look so cool at night with the outdoor lighting. But the real winner here is the fire pit. Not only does it have the ability to pump some serious heat/flame out, but it is just a beautiful piece of art.

We have used Mile High to re-design and build a more functional space in the front and back yards. Will (owner) has great design ideas and provides a comprehensive plan with scope of work and costs. He is responsive and his crew are respectful and professional. We are extremely pleased with the outcome.

If you're looking for high quality hardscape and landscape design and fantastic client service, Mile High Landscaping can't be beat! Will Hyde managed the design, schedule and construction like the pro he is. We couldn't be happier with the transformation of our back yard into the oasis that it has become, thanks to Will and his team. Shade structure, water feature, new patio, lighting and landscaping - all stellar! During the pandemic, what's better than expanding your home to include an amazing new outdoor space?
