“Brian and Noe did a masterful job on both our front and back yards! The end product was more beautiful and more serene than we ever could have imagined. We’ve gone from never using our backyard to using it daily. Our front yard was an eye sore and now it brightens up the entire block - we especially love the gorgeous paver walkway they built which brings us joy each time we use it. Brian’s pricing is slightly higher than others we had contacted but it was well worth it!We had read many reviews about Brian’s “organic” process and though we were a little skeptical, we got the sense that he was very experienced and a true craftsman and decided to go with him, and we're so glad we did. He has a great sense for how to design a space, balancing form and function. His experience also allows him to bring a calm and a confidence in his ideas, which he used to skillfully guide the process. There were a couple times where we had wanted to interject a point of view that would have resulted in a less nice end product, and Brian was great at hearing us out, but also gently guiding us in a better direction.Finally, here are a few of the things we really appreciated:- The ability to weigh in some design choices (e.g. pavers, turf, etc), but those choices being limited so that we were choosing between better and best- The flexibility that the “organic” process allows for (we went back and forth on the backyard water feature and in the end decided to go with it + we added add’l lighting that wasn’t in the original proposal)- The speed with which he and Noe completed the work - the whole thing was done in < 6 weeks- The handover walk through and accompanying plant map and instructions, which gave us some pride of ownership- Brian’s responsiveness to our follow up questions after the job was completed“
“For a long time, I wanted to have a professionally landscaped backyard garden to serve as a special retreat for me. I finally decided on Madrono Landscape Design, and the owner, Geoffrey Coffey was very helpful in laying out a landscape that reflected the type of garden I had envisioned, sort of a "controlled jungle". I didn't cut corners finance wise, but I am very happy with the results. Geoff suggested various flowers and shrubs, plus incorporating what plants I did have already into the new design, including a drip irrigation system. Now I just have to wait for the shrubs and vines to grow to maturity to get the garden that I've always wanted.“
“Franco's team has been maintaining our garden for 10 years. They are professional, consistent, polite and know what they are doing. I highly recommend.“
“We hired Fisher Garden and Landscape to clean out our overgrown yard. Will and his crew did a fantastic job. They worked fast but were meticulous and made sure our yard was clean before they left. Will is very professional and very responsive. I highly recommend Fisher Garden and Landscape.“
“I really enjoyed working with Terra Ferma. Very easy to work with and pleased with my experience with them!“
“David and his entire team were absolutely fantastic to work with. I worked with him on two (2) large projects, one in San Francisco, one in Los Altos. Here are all the reasons why I'd highly recommend working with David and his team:
- Very easy to communicate with: David was very responsive via email, text, and phone. He's a clear communicator and easy to brainstorm with to really capture your vision for your space.
- Good design partner: David can fully design your space or he can also listen to elements you've thought about and incorporate those into the design so you may add your own personal touch.
- High quality work: The work done on my projects was very high quality and the results were stunning and exactly what I wanted.
- Stands by his work: After each project, David was super responsive to any final touches and/or fixes that needed to be made and he and his team ensured they all got done in a timely fashion.
- His team is solid: I interacted with, and spoke to, David's team A LOT as we spent a lot of time together on these two projects. They were a joy to work with, very respectful and tidy, did great work, and even my little kids enjoyed practicing spanish with them and saying hello and goodbye each day :) I can't say enough about our lead, Eliel, who was an absolutely fantastic partner and worked very well with David and I.
- No major issues: There were no major issues nor problems with either of the two projects David and his team completed for me.
- Ongoing maintenance: In addition to installation, David and his team can handle your ongoing maintenance, which is wonderful given they know all the details of the plants, technology, materials, etc. that went into my/your project.
- Very reasonable price: I looked around and got quotes and David and his team came in at a competitive price, which in combination with the high quality of their work, I'd go with them every time versus risking working with a contractor that could mess things up and create a painful experience (which I've experienced on past projects before I met David and began working with him and his team).
Overall you are going to have a very nice experience with David and his team, you will get your money's worth and he will stand by his work, and the end result will be a very professional, polished, and beautiful space without any hassle or major issues. I'll be using David and his team from here on out for any project!!!“
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Paul Tamate on transforming our challenging hillside backyard, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. From the beginning, Paul was very professional, punctual, responsive and committed to making our backyard a usable extension to our home. His staff was always also very nice, polite and helpful.Given that we had not had any experience with this type of renovation, having someone like Paul was priceless. He asked a lot of questions to ensure the vision for the space was being realized and that we were satisfied with the progress.Paul was also very detail oriented and helped us design a nice seating area with a firepit for entertaining friends, and recommended the right plants and trees that would complement the space. We could not be happier with our new backyard and have already enjoyed it quite a bit with friends and family. We feel very lucky we found Paul to do the work and highly recommend Tamate Landscaping for any backyard renovation project.“
“I've worked with JML for several years and have always been pleased with their work. They have worked on many projects that have turned out great. Please keep up the excellent work!“
“Paul is an awesome find. He gets the job done, at a competitive price. I have been working with him for years and will continue to do so.“
“We hired Jesus based on his reviews here on Yelp and after meeting him in person. The reviews here could not have been more on point!He was on time for our first meeting. He quoted us a fair price. He started the job on time and finished ahead of schedule. His crew was professional, polite and they cleaned up during the process which was very important since the job was on a busy street that has heavy foot traffic.Jesus was very honest with the scope of work. We discussed options for our project and he came up with a product that would be durable, economical and would suit the needs of the area we were addressing. It had been an eyesore for years and a constant weeding problem that we wanted a solution for. We will be using Jesus and his crew in the near future to address the front yard. We would highly recommend his company.“
“Jose and his crews were amazing. Very professional, kind, and prices were very reasonable. They showed up on time, and finished the project in a timely manner. The project was to get rid of our grass area and place pavers and artificial turf. Their work looks amazing. I have no complain at all. Highly recommend them to others.“
“Second time hiring Silvio and his team. They did wonderful work cleaning our front yard again, which was a terrible overgrown mess (again). Very thorough and very responsive.“
“Glenn is an incredible advocate for tenants! We used him for help with decrease in services and found his expertise beyond incredible!“
“Elliot and his team were fantastic! Great advice and really frank and honest - does not try and oversell. His team was incredibly friendly, did an beautiful job and left the garden cleaner than before! Highly highly reccomend.“
“I worked for months with Jeff and his team. We had 3 large, custom outdoor lighting projects to accomplish. The entire crew worked patiently with us until we got it right. We couldn’t be happier with our results. R&R is an amazing group of skilled, friendly folks. Highly recommend them!“
“If you care about results, hire Kasorn's team. They met all my expectations, rescued two old houseplants over 10 years old and over four feet tall, repotted and groomed to look fresh and new. The two professionals arrived promptly, were very careful, gave me all the options, and cleaned up meticulously. Dealing with Ground Cover Landscaping was such a positive experience.“
“Chris is amazing to work with and does wonderful work. We contacted Earthtones because we wanted to replace our traditional yard with something that was low/no maintenance, drought resistant and beautiful. Chris listened carefully and created a one of kind design that met all our needs. He is an expert on succulents and what works here in the Bay Area. He was on time and on budget- before we knew it our yard was transformed to a beautiful oasis and our water bill slashed in half. Highly recommend Earthtones!Services: Landscape installations“
“Working with Juan at KB Landscaping has been great. He is very responsive and has been able to schedule within the week (sometimes even same day if I have a small-ish task). He and his crew do excellent work and leave the yard cleaner than when they arrived. Juan also gave great advice on my plans and has continued to respond to my questions via text to help me maintain my yard. I think the prices are very reasonable by Bay Area standards. Highly recommend!“
“Tin and his crew replaced my old rotting fence a few weeks ago. They were on time, reliable and hard working. I really appreciated their professionalism. I'd highly recommend their work.“
“This company comes highly recommended. Joel and his staff are very professional. Communication was excellent throughout the course of construction. They managed to complete the project in a timely manner with no long delays throughout the project milestones. Joel did not hesitate to ask questions to make sure we resolved issues that were not clearly detailed in the landscape architects drawing and offering advice on what he recommends. Joel did an excellent job of capturing the changes and adds to the project both in scope and cost. His staff left the job site safe and clean everyday. Overall I could not be any happier with the outcome. My family and I spend much time in the back yard and my front finally has curb appeal.Joel was also the one who recommended Tammy. The landscape architect that prepared my project plans. She also comes highly recommended. Great communication even after the project has been completed.I completed my project almost a year ago. Joel and his staff have continue to maintain the landscape and they do a great job at making sure the site looks tip top.Services: Tree landscaping“
“Professional, courteous, quality work! Kevin helped design exactly what I wanted for our front yard. I was so lucky to find them! Cannot recommend highly enough.“
