Land Design Group

It is with absolute pleasure that my wife and I have the opportunity to review Land Design Group, LLC and its owner Christopher Feldkamp. We have been through three major renovations in our “forever home” including Kitchen remodel, Basement remodel and now the Outdoor Patio/Living space designed and implemented by Chris. The entire process from design to implementation was nothing but a joy. As business owners in a service industry (medical), we understand the importance of providing quality service, communicating effectively all while completing an endeavor in the most cost effective, time conserving manner. On all accounts, every member of the team at Land Design Group succeeded with a resounding A+++++ rating. As with most home owners going through the process of a renovation, we performed our due diligence and met with four different companies/contractors over a period of two months. We entertained and enjoyed hearing the varying sales concepts and design ideas all while trying to adhere to a budget with which we were comfortable. Chris Feldkamp, was our third contact and, in all reality, was our last. His approach to the job at hand was both methodical and efficient, yet hands on and personal. His initial computer rendition of the project was stunning and he was most open to hearing our thoughts on what we wanted changed. While the initial design did change slightly based on our wishes, Chris easily and quickly made the changes on the computer rendition to our satisfaction. The final product appears just as the computer rendition outlined, albeit in wonderful 3D reality. The scale of our project included an addition of a new flagstone patio (2-tiered) over a new concrete base (2 tiered) extending 2/3 the length of our home in the backyard. A semicircular 2-foot seating wall was added to the lower elevation that now serves as our firepit area (purchased separately). A 14 foot by 14-foot cedar pergola was built on the upper elevation under which we put our dining table and six chairs. The pergola was wired with electricity as well as an outdoor wet rated fan to provide air movement. This entire 2-tiered patio was then surrounded by beautiful landscaping including adding berms with topsoil to create elevations and then covered by mulch in a dark brown. Grass sod was then applied to all the remaining dirt areas to complete the transformation. This was then augmented by the addition of 40 plants/shrubs and 3 new trees to give definition. Finally, the patio as well as the landscaping, were completed by the addition of low voltage lighting (approximately 45 LED lights) on the stairs, elevations of the flagstone patio, seating wall and landscaping. The lights were put on a timer to come on at dusk and turn off at the time of our choice. Behind the scenes of all the work done were the hardworking employees of the company. Each and every one of employees involved in our renovation not only acted and performed in the most professional manner but are deserving of much thanks. We cannot finish this review without mentioning the wonderful personality of the owner, Chris Feldkamp. His educational background (BS degree in Landscape Design from Kansas State University) paired with his incredible work ethic demand the respect all including the most demanding critic. We look very forward to having Chris, his wife and his employees over for a night of enjoyment in our new outdoor oasis.

I have worked with Chris Feldkamp on several landscape design projects that could better be described as outdoor living space. Chris has an uncanny ability to understand the clients needs/wants and his attention to detail from start to finish far exceeds the standard in the Kansas City market.

Land Design Group was recommend to us by a local stone yard. We were looking for a company to install a fireplace and do a couple retaining walls. Chris and his crew really delivered. They install a fireplace, the retaining walls, and we also decided to up date the landscape around the patio and do some landscape lighting. It looks beautiful. We would highly recommend Chris and Land Design Group they did an excellent job!

It's hard to find good contractors. Chris and his group are exceptional. We have worked with him on a couple projects. We started with the front yard a couple years ago. They recently finish up the backyard with a new patio, fire pit, lighting, and pergola. The attention to detail is superb. We have compliments every time we have someone over.

Chris and the Land Design Group team was recommended to me by a friend. I am had a couple other companies out before speaking with Chris. I just wasn't pleased with either the design or the process. Work with Land Design was great from the begin to the completion of our project. They created a beautiful backyard space with a fireplace, pergola, outdoor kitchen. Chris vision was outstanding. He an his crew worked through the rain and heat to complete our project before our son's graduation party. The project was completed before our party as promised. I would recommend Chris and Land Design to anyone who is looking for a landscape or hardscape project.

We hired Chris in June of 2014 to complete a project that had already been started. He had verbalized that he was about 8-10 weeks out from being able to start on ours. When that time came, all communication from him was timely; however, it was always initiated by me and the time frame always kept getting pushed back! Our project wasn't started until December of 2014 and planting was obviously held due to weather and planned for the spring of 2015. When spring rolled around, I contacted him to get a timeline for the plantings and final completion of our project. I could never get a firm answer and always received excuses as to why a date wouldn't be set. We had some settling issues with our hard scape that were sinking and needed fixed so I contacted Chris to see when his crew could come fix it as this portion had been paid for and completed! To this day, I have not had a response from him nor has anyone come to fix the sinking stone! I've been very patient throughout this process but enough is enough.....it's truly hard to find contractors who care about doing quality work and delivering exceptional customer service these days. Severely disappointed as I was very impressed with Chris initially !

Chris of Land Design Group did a brick paver patio for us. His attention to detail, professionalism, and hard work were outstanding. The finished result was just what we wanted. We would definitely hire him again for future landscaping projects.

I have worked with Chris at Land Design Group many times on various level projects over the last 5 years and I have always been pleased..Chris provides a high level of product and landscape knowledge accompanied with a touch of creativity that truly makes his firm stand apart...I always know referring Land Design Group to my clients will bring the quality we would both expect!

Chris Feldkamp is truly an expert in his field and able to translate a client's vision into a reality. We interviewed several landscape and hardscape companies when having our back patio and front walkway area re-done. In both instances, Chris's design recommendation was exactly what we wanted. Chris and his team were able to complete all aspects of the project from removing the existing "stuff," pouring the concrete, doing the brick work, installing the outdoor lighting and planting the shrubs, flowers and bushes. He is very professional and is only satisfied when you, as the client, are satisfied. Again, we have used Land Design Group twice and have been very pleased both instances. I would highly recommend him for any outdoor project. The reason for my 4 vs 5 star rating is timing. Both of our projects were done very well but took longer than expected to get started and then also to be completed. Otherwise, Chris and his team have great attitudes, are hard workers and deliver an exceptional product on-budget.
