Haunted – still – with one of the worst landscape contractor experiences of our lives. We hired Dustin / Couture Custom Landscaping last summer for a complete back yard in Kechter Farm. The project was estimated at 2-3 weeks but took months. Now, almost a year later, we are still dealing with the disappointment and financial fallout.

• Every single tree was planted too low. They are now dead, dying or diseased as a result. Our largest and most expensive Bosnian Pine is dead because it was planted in a path of drainage. It sat in an 8” pool of water and died. All the other trees have to be dug up, raised, and sprayed to prevent further disease and/or death. This was confirmed by Lindgren, Fort Collins Tree Care, and Harmony Gardens. The corrective action on the trees alone is going to cost us ~ 2K.

• Dustin / Couture Custom Landscaping also poured our concrete patio incorrectly. It was poured during a rain storm. It wasn’t poured to Fort Collins city code, which states it must drain away from the house at a 2% grade. Instead it slopes towards the house and has puddles up to ½” deep.

• Sprinklers heads were placed at random locations and were not very well thought out– some areas get way too much water due to overlap and others get barely enough (dead spots are evident). Some trees had drip lines but no emitter. Some trees had drip lines and emitters but were placed downhill from the tree.

I could go on, but won’t.

I’m also happy to discuss further with anyone who wants the details. Reach out anytime. The work performed by Dustin / Couture Custom Landscaping Fort Collins was amateur and negligent.

It’s costing us thousands to fix their mistakes and redo what most other Fort Collins landscape companies would have gotten right the first time.

Dustin is an immoral businessmen. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make money even if that means doing collateral damage to you & your home. I do NOT recommend this company.
