Dean Bjorkstrand Landscaping

Dean and his crew were great to work with. In my experience, many contractors send their A-team to win the project, and then the crew you get is hit or miss. Not with Dean’s crew. The same quality I saw in the design stage showed up with the people who did the work. When something in the plan didn’t make sense in real life, they proactively adjusted and used great judgment. Truly a design-build team. Very happy with both the quality of the work and the people.

We hired Dean to create a backyard oasis for our new construction home . The yard was a complete blank slate and Dean made every aspect from design to material selection easy, creative and enjoyable. His team executed the large plan with ease and were wonderful to have on property for the weeks it took to complete. I highly recommend them for any landscape project big or small.

We contacted Dean Bjorkstrand in January, to discuss ways to solve a drainage problem we had at our front entrance, and to redo our patio in the back yard. Dean responded quickly and came over to meet with us, and on the spot he had several ideas how to fix our drainage, and several other suggestions regarding the patio and walkways. He had design drawings and price estimates back to us within two weeks. We ended up hiring Dean Bjorkstrand, Inc. to redo the grading at the front entrance, install a couple of underground drains, lay new bluestone, and install a new stone retaining wall across the front of the house. They also installed a new patio with pergola and walkway, along with new lighting in front and back. We anxiously watched as the first rain fell after completion of the project, and everything worked like a charm: no risk of water getting into the basement! Beyond the drainage fixes, we were blown away by how beautifully everything turned out. I soon learned to trust Dean's judgment - he has a keen eye for design, and he knew what would look right with our house and surroundings. I had a few doubts beforehand, but everything he recommended looks fantastic. The customer service provided by Dean and his crew was superb at every step of the project - they responded promptly to all questions and concerns, and always listened carefully to make sure we were on the same page. I would highly recommend Dean Bjorkstrand, Inc. for anyone considering a large or small hardscaping project.

Dean and his team did a fantastic job on our backyard (new fence with arbor, new patio, fire feature, lighting) and we’re 100% hiring them to transform our front yard next. We actually chose Dean by looking at online reviews, and I can confirm that the great reviews are legit. The customer service was 10/10. Dean was communicative, upfront about pricing, and careful to make sure he understood our vision. When there was a slight cosmetic defect on an item he ordered for our yard - which we wouldn’t have even noticed - he pointed it out and offered a replacement or discount. The guys who spent a few weeks in our yard doing the day-to-day work were polite, friendly, and great at what they do.

Dean did an amazing job from the beginning when we met last Fall to develop a plan to completion of our landscaping project this summer. Initially we planned on updating existing landscaping of rock gardens around our home, but then we expanded that to add a patio off our deck. Our goal was to have a hot tub, sauna and shed. Deans expertise came up with a plan to use the side our home that wasn’t used, and also included a new living area with fire pit. From day one, we found Dean to be a man of character, with immense experience with stone and flowers and the ability to see a space and create a special space for your family. In addition, his team of Sroy, Vladimir and Margaret were wonderful to work with for the 6 weeks it took to get the job done. We would highly recommend Dean and his team for any project you may have.
