Structure Landscapes NW

We first contacted David in February to put in a patio, change out dangerous lava rock stairs and make a clean and usable space for our recycling toters as we wanted to give ourselves plenty of time to get bids, finalize a design and have the work done in time to enjoy it this summer. He called us back while still on vacation, he asked some basics about the project and what our address was to determine how to schedule the site visit and he let us know that he was already booked through May and into June and would that still work for our timeline. We had viewed some of his work on his website and facebook page and thought he was worth the wait as we had already had a few other bids on the project and discussed design, but nothing looked like what we wanted as much as his work. He promptly scheduled a site visit upon his return from vacation, showed up when scheduled asked about our proposed use for the spaces and the basics of the design elements that we liked. We received our bid with the details of the design to be determined on site. At first that made me nervous as I had imagined a detailed drawing as part of the bid, but having never embarked on this type of project before, I really didn’t know what to expect. They showed up to do the work per the contract, giving us a few days notice that they would start the following Monday promptly at 7:30 am. That day began with David once again walking through the site with us, going over the plan for the excavation and then starting the design details on site. We had originally planned on using 2 foot by 2 foot pavers with gravel or decomposed granite between and asked him where we could see the materials prior to committing to them. After going and looking, we decided that the pour in place concrete was more to our liking, was still in our budget and was possible given our site issues. The crew worked hard on the project and also make sure the site was tidy and safe for our dog at the end of the day. David kept in touch with us on an almost daily basis either via email or in person to discuss the evolution of the design and to deal with the inevitable surprises that showed up. He kept us informed in writing of any additional costs and gave us the option to decline. As he is an artist as well as a contractor, it was interesting to watch him finalize the design after spending time working in the space. He was a great communicator and answered our many questions throughout the process. Any concerns we might have had at the end of the day were quickly resolved once he showed up on site in the morning and talked us through the next steps. They did a really nice job on a very challenging set of stairs that they built snuggled between the foundation of the house and an existing rock wall. Just this morning we did our final walk through with David and he spent an extra hour giving us planting ideas for the multiple spaces that are adjacent to the project area to make it look even better. I would gladly use Structural Landscapes NW again.

Emailed to request an estimate, indicating I wanted the work done within the next month. Got an email right back asking me for my address and where I heard about them from. Provided this information, THEN they emailed back saying they were busy through June. Why did they ask me for my home address if they knew they weren’t going to be able to do the work? This gave me the creeps. Won’t be attempting to use them in the future.

We are very happy with our new backyard! David and his crew removed a deck, an old concrete patio (a surprise underneath the deck) and masses of bamboo, after which they created a beautiful backyard space with a paver patio, low stone wall and new plantings. The site presented many challenges and surprises, but David happily dealt with all of them. His crew was great all around and their clean up at job’s end was very thorough. We will use Structure Landscapes NW again.

I was very impressed with David and his team throughout the entire landscape remodeling process. David was timely, professional, organized, and the outcome was superb. We would highly recommend Structure Landscape NW!

We have been extremely happy with the results from David and his crew. We’ve had him complete several projects in our yard including plant removal and pruning, tree installation, stonework (including building a stone retaining wall and creating an ‘outdoor room’ in our back yard) weeding, mulching, installation of a drip irrigation system and general yard maintenance. For the first few projects, we did get several bids and found David was always competitive without sacrificing quality, skimping on plant material, etc. He is a professional and both he and his crew are always courteous and a pleasure to have around. I highly recommend Structure Landscapes.

As a landscape designer who has worked with David Dang I feel qualified to highly recommend Structure Landscapes NW. David has high standards for his work and a great sense of design which makes me extremely proud of the work that he has done.
I have been impressed with Structure Landscape NW’s versatility. If I have a client who needs a flagstone patio or an elegant wood structure or just a simple gravel pathway I trust this crew to do a professional job that will produce beautiful results.
Another great quality that I have heard from my clients is that Structure Landscapes NW installs projects while respecting the property owner’s space. David and his crew arrive to a site ready to execute the project in a professional, thoughtful and efficient manner — and their work is beautifully executed.
I personally appreciate their efforts in sustainability as well. This mirrors my own beliefs and I think many others who live in this area. In the end I trust both my designs and my clients with Structure Landscapes NW.

Had David Dang and his crew out to put in a simple sideyard pathway. Not a glamorous job but something we needed done. They came in about middle on quote and did quick and clean work. I really like the aesthetic of the path and David helped us make the most of a neglected space. Would definitely use again and he got my wheels turning about some other projects.
