REVIEWS

“I am working with Colby and Buddha Builders for one year as a contractor and doing photo and video production for them. I saw a lot of companies, but Colby is one of the best. He loves what he is doing, he knows all about outdoor spacing and doing his job very well. As a contractor I saw back side of the work process and can say that they are doing very good job!”

“Had a great experience with Colby and his team. From the vision and recommendations, to pricing and timeline, and the overall quality of the work. It was a good size project that involved knocking out a large chunk of cement patio and walkway and replacing it with pavers while extending the space and adding a retaining wall on the backside of your yard. His crew was always punctual worked hard and I am very happy with how it all turned out. I recommend Colby and his team to anyone that is look for quality, value, and a hard working crew.”

“After wanting to install a retaining wall for over 20 years, Colby and his crew made that possible. I love my new retaining wall and I wish I hadn’t waited so long! It turned out much better than what I had envisioned. I appreciated Colby’s helpful suggestions, attention to detail, and work ethics. His crew members were very hardworking, respectful, efficient, and skilled. The project was completed in just 3 days…far quicker than what anyone else quoted. That means a lot for someone like me without a lot of patience and demand perfection! I would definitely hire Colby for future projects.”

“Dylin did an amazing job clearing the weeds and junk from around our townhouse walkways. It was very “PNW jungle” before (sadly, no before pix) but the “after” is amazing! Clean and safe walkways and no more worries about weeds growing where they shouldn’t. I will definitely be calling on Colby again for future outdoor work like fence replacement and building my new arbor, as his company is proven to be meticulous and attentive. Excellent work!!”

“Colby of Buddha Builders works with great heart and integrity. He’s creative, competent and efficient. I wholeheartedly recommend him. Brilliantly and compassionately, he saved the day after another company botched, then abandoned my driveway project. During his estimate visit, he noted what needed to be corrected, then went on to improve on my original vision: Safer, more beautiful, weed-free and guaranteed. To that end, he brought in and worked closely with another company who specialized in just the work I needed. Colby’s expertise shone. Together, they addressed challenging compexities as though they were no big deal, transforming the abandoned disaster into a showpiece entrance that fits perfectly with the surrounding landscape. Walkers and drivers often stop to admire and praise it.

At least as important as the gorgeous driveway and seeming ease and speed with which it went from vision to reality is the healing I experienced in daring to trust Colby after having been cheated, and finding him to be a considerate contractor who not only was as good as his word, but who also thought of ways to go the extra mile. You won’t be sorry if you hire him.

Written in great gratitude.”

“Colby, Freddy, and the entire crew were incredibly friendly, responsive, and overall wonderful to work with. They helped us to translate the key design elements we did and did not want into a coherent final plan for our patio and walkways. We love the final result and would happily work with Buddha Builders again!“

“Colby and his team are incredible at their craft. The artistic visions are wonderfully executed, done with such pride, and integrity. Highly recommend for any outdoor needs big or small, this is your team for the job!!“

“Buddha builders helped us craft our yard exactly how we wanted it – in fact better than that. We approached Buddha builders with a pretty good idea of how we wanted our yard to look like – replacing concrete with natural looking pavers, adding gravel, incorporating our raised planter beds in the design, and creating a walkway in the garden.

Colby and Tamara understood our design and provided excellent suggestions on how to execute this. There are probably very few landscape designers / builders out there who could do this job so well and within a budget.

One of the tricky things in our yard was a tiny circular drain – other contractors were unsure how to handle that effectively. The crew raised the drain and carved the pavers around it perfectly.
We did have the project delayed a bit, and had to communicate frequently to ensure that we got the details right. But that is understandable for a small business during Covid. The crew was efficient and respectful and did a great job not just working on the pavers but also cleaning up after their work.

We recommend Buddha builders, particularly if you’re looking for high quality paving and aesthetic design.“

“Colby is one of the kindest people Ive met. He was working on my neighbors backyard and knocked on my door to see if I needed anything while his guys were in the area. Buddha builders helped me out with some simple things and later on we worked on much more difficult projects together

The team is great, high quality work, clean, on time, easy to communicate with. Some of my questions seems silly to me, but he responded in a kind way, and made sure that I felt heard and that I was comfortable with what was happening. He went above and beyond to show me the products available for our project and knew way more than the other contractors I talked about as well as had more interesting ideas of how to use the space. Overall a great company to work with and I’m looking forward to the next time they are doing work for us.”

“Colby and his team are AWESOME to work with. They take the time to listen in order to understand exactly what is needed from all parties so that everyone is on the same page. Their work exceeds all expectations; based on photos alone and previous reviews, you can truly see that Colby and his team are passionate about what they do. They provide quality work from start to finish and maintain an open line of communication throughout the entire process, which is a huge plus in my book. Don’t miss out on the beautiful work the Buddha Builders team can do for you, I highly recommend them to everyone!”

“Colby and the Buddha Builders crew made our visions come to life! Throughout the whole process, Colby was extremely helpful. Anytime we had questions, he had answers. Super knowledgeable and friendly. The crew did an amazing job – super quick and they definitely didn’t slack on quality! I will no doubt be calling Colby for more work in the near future.”

“Colby and his crew are amazing. Very personable and the end result blew my expectations away. 10/10”

“Colby and his crew did a stellar job on our backyard. He always made sure that the quality of work was up to our high standards, and made it clear that our happiness with the final outcome was his priority. Our project had many different phases and areas of complexity – demolition of our concrete slab driveway, construction of retaining walls, building a new fence and installation of pavers, grass and a gravel firepit area. As soon as we said go, the team jumped in and got right to work on our project. We were very pleased with the high level of professionalism, positivity and strong work ethic that each and every member of his team showed throughout the project. We appreciate that it’s not easy to take on an outdoor project in the middle of winter when the weather is extremely cold and wet. Regardless of the weather, Colby’s team often worked long days through heavy rain and even snow to keep our job moving along. We used Yardzen (an online landscape design service) to design the structure and layout of our yard. Colby was able to take these ideas and drawings to deliver on our vision and make them a reality. At many stages, he also provided additional ideas and alternative solutions to multiple aspects of the design. Colby and team were also very responsive to any and all questions or concerns that we had along the way – whether it be about budget, materials or changes – and always provided thoughtful and resourceful input to us. We confidently recommend Buddah Builders for your next project.”

“Veteran owned company, very reliable, responsive and creative! Would suggest to anyone looking to spice up their outdoor living!”

“Colby was great to work with! Started when he said they would and transformed our outdoor spaces into beautifully livable and functional gathering places. What started as a simple lawn project, Colby was able to identify other design aspects that elevated all the elements in a straight forward approach. What was key, was his sense of customer care and satisfaction. He was not hesitant to “fix” or change the slightest request from us. Maybe this is the “Buddha” in the Builder;)”

“Really good people, very professional, and have great design’s and ideals, would highly recommend. Awesome work”

“My back yard resembled a paintball gaming park after the neighbors’ wall fell into my yard. Buddha Builders not only fixed the damage but made my yard usable and lovely. They are responsive, reasonably priced and do great work.”

“Great craftsmanship and attention to detail. The crew did an excellent job! Thank you!”
