Chris was absolutely phenomenal to work with. I needed a full yard beautify in my new home. My yard was complete dirt, a blank canvas. Chris' initial consultation to final walk through was fast and professional. His team worked so hard! They did soil amendment, sprinkler and drip line lay, plants, tress, and sod and shrubs. He was communicative throughout the process and honored my budget. Unlike other landscapers, he was honest and didn't try to bamboozle me for more than I needed or could afford.
I couldn't have picked a better landscaper in Northern Colorado. His has incredible expertise in all facets of landscaping and made sure I was knowledgeable on my new yard at final walkthrough. PHENOMENAL is the word that I would use to describe my experience with him and his team.

This is now the second time we have worked with Megan's Waterwise once in Fort Collins and again in Windsor. Both times Chris was a huge help in the design process and quality of the work we received was exceptional. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and we love our yard!

Not only is Chris a delight to work with, but the quality of workmanship by him and his team is incredible. I'm moving to a new home in Northern California next year and only hope I can find a landscape designer as talented as Chris to make my yard there breathtaking. I can't recommend Chris highly enough!
