Columbia Basin Landscape

After reading the reviews I contacted Stephen for an estimate. He sold himself and company well so I hired him for a major project on our new construction. His work included paver installation, laying gravel, curbing, sprinklers, low voltage landscape lighting, and sod. On November 28 he guaranteed the work to be done by December 15 (except sod). On April 16 we entered into an agreement to void the contract with a reduction of cost to compensate for the work not completed. Over the 4 plus months I received many excuses why he could not do things, many no shows for days he committed to work, and a lot of less than truthful information. I could go on but I think the 4 months’ delay and the list of work that I need to finish the job speaks for itself. The low voltage lights are not installed, the sprinklers were not set and had no flow nozzles in them, 3/4 of the sprinklers pop up at an angle and need to be reburried, the pavers are scratched because he didn’t use a pad on the compactor, no pressure reducer or filter on the drip irrigation, drip irrigation runs not attached to a water supply, and solenoid valves not connected to the timer.

NO, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!! I hired him to do a large backyard project. He did not follow the plans. EVERYTHING he did needs to be redone. He built retaining walls without proper footings; he used inferior/incorrect materials in the retaining walls. He lied about how he spent my money: he told me he had purchased plants, all the electrical for the lighting, the fireplace, the water feature. I never saw any of that. He was to put in the sleeves for the electrical, irrigation, and propane. He never did it. When we asked him to draw out the placment for those, he continually put us off saying he knew where they would go as he continued the work. He incorrectly buried a propane tank which now has to be removed and recoated before it can be used. EVERYTHING he did needs to be redone. I gave him $35,000; the lowest bid to fix his mess is double that amount! That doesn't include the damage he did to my existing irrigation and the front yard. I give Stephen Youseff /Columbia Basin Landscaping a negative rating.

I had them put in some flower boxes and build up the corner of my yard, they did a very good job and were very nice to work with, I was very satisfied!

Sprinkler blowout the other day - it so happens that rental company was unable to provide enough hose to reach remote KID locations on some properties like mine, I watched Columbia Basin Landscaping Employee disengage the compressor rig for the towing rig and pull that heavy compressor up my steep driveway and across the soft lawn to the closets location he could get the machine and complete his assignment- then return compressor to street in same manner as brought onto property - A Heroic effort to get the job done!

I met with Steve the owner of this company on a Sunday, had a need for a huge tree that needed to be removed. He give me a more than fair bid, and told me he would do it on the following day. He showed up at 9 a.m. the day promised, and worked nonstop til 5:00 p.m. Job was DONE ! Thank you Columbia Basin Landscaping. R M. Robinson

Was extremely pleased with the yard work they done for my daughters wedding. It definitely looked like I had it done professionally!
