Changing Landscapes, Inc. offers a complete cycle of services, from conception and design, working with your landscape architect, or utilizing the skills of our own on-staff designers and consultants.
We begin with the hardscape phase of grading and contouring the soil,
Meandering wet or dry streambeds, blooming water gardens, koi ponds and splashing waterfalls can be incorporated into your landscape. With sub-surface watering and highly technological irrigation controllers for automated systems, we employ water-wise techniques to generate living and self-replenishing ecosystems even in the driest of seasons. We utilize indigenous and xeric plants whenever possible. Changing Landscapes, Inc. is a green companyrecycling all plant and construction materials that can be reused.
In the final phase of landscaping, we plant colorful and fragrant garden beds, healthy shrubbery and hardy shade trees. Strategic lighting illuminates a nighttime garden, porch or patio. Custom lighting stretches the post-dusk hours for optimum enjoyment of your landscape, during the changing seasons and shorter daylight hours. In the bleakest of the dormant months, strategically illuminated boulders, shadowy evergreens and structural plant forms that stretch up through the drifting snow provide starkly beautiful winterscapes.
When spring returns with bursts of colorful blooms, your landscape sanctuary draws butterflies and songbirds, accompanied by the gentle rush of water from a sparkling water feature.

Ive been using Changing Landscapes since 1997. It is always pleasant and rewarding to work with Paul on our projects. He is knowledgeable of plants and site work and has the ability to contribute good ideas to help improve landscape design. As a contractor, I always look for people who know what theyre doing, can be trusted, respect a budget, are responsive and dont require a lot of hand-holding. That is why I continue to use Paul. He delivers on his promises, and I would recommend him highly.

Weve had the good fortune to work with Changing Landscapes on several jobs. On each project, their excellent landscape work has greatly enhanced the homes weve built. Im very happy with their artistic hard and softscapes, all delivered on time and within budget. And, theyve stood behind their work, rapidly responding to our service requests. Changing Landscapes has definitely earned a spot on our list of dependable sub-contractors.

Changing Landscapes has done three projects for me during the last seven years. Owner, Paul Hartman, has made a success with each of these jobs because he understands scheduling, timing and most importantly--quality. Once the job is started there is no down time until it is completed. The entire crew takes pride and ownership in their work, and it is reflected in the finish product.
Dear Paul, We want to express our appreciation to you and to congratulate your team on a quick, excellent job with our landscaping changes. Everyone loves the flagstone steps and patio and the stone wall. The Flowers and shrubs look great too. When we had a slight miscommunication, you resolved the problem in our favor without complaint or extra charges. Your punctuality and professionalism were a refreshing change from our past experience with others in the home services industry. You are welcome to use this letter as a reference for future customers if you would like, as we know they will be as pleased as we are.
Dear Paul, I just wanted to thank you and compliment you on the absolutely incredible garden, patio, stream and waterfall you created at our home. It is truly a work of art and we enjoy it daily. I have to say that if all the subs on our project were as timely as you the project would have been finished on schedule. Your punctuality was amazing. Finally, I also totally respect and admire your willingness to repair and replace the plants or mechanical issues that occurred during the first year break period. The results once again were spectacular. Please feel free to use me or Laura for a reference to any party that is unsure of your quality of work or willingness to honor your warranty. Best of luck, I am sure when we are going to finish the front yard, you will be involved.
