| - Short version: We paid what I thought was a reasonable amount for an awesome pool / hardscape / landscape combo that we love. I would not hesitate to use Artistic again and recommend them to everyone who asks.
My wife and I built a new house in Providence (northwest area of Las Vegas) and had a dirt lot to work with. We had some ideas about what we wanted to do back there, but weren't entirely convinced we were going to go in the right direction since this was something completely new to us.
After some preliminary investigation by my wife I reached out to 6 different companies who listened patiently while I laid out our initial ideas. Ron (the owner) was the only one of those who had his own ideas about what was possible in our blank canvas. I told him I wasn't entirely convinced but would love to see the design they came up with.
When I went into the office I was told I'd be working with Ace as he was the one who put together our design. I tried to remain poker faced but I think they knew how excited I was about what they put together. Step one, the design, was great. The price seemed reasonable and was within the price range that I expected (hint: building a pool is expensive).
We iterated a bit, my wife and I chose the options important to us, and we decided to go ahead with Artistic. After permits were issued and plans approved, the build started nearly immediately. There were a couple bumps the first few days because their subcontractor's dump truck for the dig out was broken down, but everything proceeded smoothly after that. We were given clear indications of when payment would be due and, because we always paid promptly, work continued without interruption. I think we ended up finishing 2-2.5 weeks ahead of schedule.
Our backyard is beautiful and we are constantly being complimented on it by anyone who comes by. The work was completed on-time, on-budget, and wholly professionally. I would definitely work with them again.
One other note that I think is important to mention. My wife and I were in a unique situation in that my wife was back in the midwest taking care of family with some health issues. She was not available for the consults with the six companies that I invited out. Artistic and one other company were the only ones who would provide me renderings to show my wife and they argue with me about it because they saw the situation for what it was. The other four companies were immediately disqualified because there was no way i would make a decision to spend $65k+ on something without being able to talk through the options with my partner. I am truly appreciative to Artistic for making things so easy.
