We used Glacier View to replace our whole front lawn with xeriscaping this year. Everything from Dave's vision to communication to material and plant selection to execution was excellent. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We had Glacier View do a large landscaping project which included the removal of old landscaping materials, irrigation repairs and redesign, and installation of new landscaping. Dave and his crew were fantastic from the initial estimate to the completion of the project. I really appreciated the consistent communication during construction, and their flexibility in making some design changes along the way. Everything turned out great and it looks beautiful. Great job guys!
Tim MuchaLocal Guide · 16 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Tim has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Glacier View Landscape and Design recently updated, refreshed, and expanded our landscaping in Gunbarrel Estates. We chose Dave over two other local landscapers because he was the best fit for our needs. He is on-site, has excellent ideas, is fairly priced, and is easy to work with. His team is friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, and hardworking. We are very happy with the results and look forward to having them back next season for our next project.

One of the most responsive vendors our HOA has ever worked with! They are passionate about what they do, incredibly knowledgeable, reasonable and fair. Highly recommend!
Glacier View Landscape did a great job in our yard. We had dirt on one side of our house and wanted Glacier to grade and rock it. We also wanted them to refresh the rock on the other side of the house. They got the job done quickly and they did a very nice job. They also made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. Highly recommend.
