“The proof of a job well done and a more-than-satisfied customer is repeat business. I have used Tim Johnson on two separate custom-built homes and a third separate project that involved adding a pool and surrounding deck, plantings, grasses, shrubs, etc. to our second custom-built home.

Tim is equal parts artist and engineer. He has the best judgment for picking plantings, patio materials, fences, use of boulder walls, all of which have turned out beautifully. But just as important, he stands by the occasional small tree that doesn’t make it through the winter and his work is stable (referring to the walls specifically) and lasting. He is dedicated and by that I mean, he SHOWS UP. And finally, he knows how to communicate. I have never wondered what is going on with a project, because he keeps his customers informed, always.

Livit’s work is of such a quality that I have referred countless friends, neighbors, even people I barely know (“Hey, check out our property, it’s awesome”) if they take a wrong turn up our street.

So: Quality. Engineer. Artist. Communicator. Value.”

“We’ve worked with Tim on several outdoor projects and have been extremely pleased. Our most recent was a complete re-imagining of our outdoor living space including the addition of an outdoor kitchen, pergola, bar and fire table. An existing deck on the main level needed to be connected to the new lower level patio and kitchen which we accomplished with a spiral staircase. And, the fire table was added to change the deck from an eating area to a leisure seating area.

A unique feature of the project was to incorporate an area for brewing beer – not an easy task and required several design iterations to get it right.

Once the design finished, Tim guided us through the selection of hardscape materials, lighting and furniture. He just knew the right places to visit and the products/materials that would look great!

Construction oversight was an especially important phase as Tim and his LIVIT Site + Structure subcontractors gave attention to the incredible details that were needed to convert our ideas into reality. He even had a solution when we discovered a surprise fresh water spring running under the area planned for the lower level patio.

The finished project is a comfortable and fun place to entertain guests and to relax after a busy day. We’re grateful for the support Tim gave us along the way!”

“Tim has been our -go to- Landscape Designer through five properties we have owned. His creativity combined with his genuine and trustworthy nature has earned him our business again and again. He’s designed and built amazing outdoor living spaces and structures for our family. Each design is as diverse as the home itself and makes the quality of our lives better with each project.

Tim’s recent construction projects with us have been large in scope. His ability to organize and manage a successful project reduced what we thought would have been a stressful process. He provided added value by managing the city’s complex approval process. His drawings, budgeting, approval process and streamlined billing has made each design decision flow efficiently. I am looking forward to future projects with LIVIT Site + Structure.”
