“This is the coolest secret hangout in Mill Valley. Such a special place to pop in and chill, or bring a friend and enjoy a cup of tea and a game. Not only are there several really cool chill spaces, there seems to be an endless supply of tea and sometimes cookies that just magically appear. The art installations are top notch. What a unique find and creative idea, we are so lucky to have a place like this. It's kinda hard to explain, so just go check it out for yourself and you'll see what I mean.“
“Exceptional paver installation by Boomerang Pavers! Professional, detail-oriented team delivered stunning results on time. Highly recommend for anyone seeking quality craftsmanship and outstanding customer service.“
“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.“
“I have been using Marin Tree Service for years.Bob Morey is an expert, experienced arborist that has given me advice on many occasions.His crews are fast, efficient and experts in all facets of tree care. The cost has always been very reasonable.I highly recommend Marin Tree Service.“
“We needed a new deck so I had three deck companies come and give bids. All had good reviews on Yelp. All three had similar opinions on what would work, what we should avoid, and other considerations when it comes to how much we wanted to spend. In the end, all three bids had similar parameters, but Arrow came with the best price. Also, they could start quickly, within 2 weeks, while the other two wanted two months to start. The job took less than three weeks and it looks great. If I saw something I wanted to change, they did it immediately without any pushback. Within five weeks from the day I met Gary, I had a nice big brand new deck. Gary and I would text or call each other whenever he or I had a question. He was very responsive. Great service. During the final touches I was so impressed I asked Gary to give me a bid for a new set of stairs on the side of the house. I had a price in half a day and the guys stayed on the job for one more week to make it happen. Fast, courteous, and affordable. If you need a deck, stairs, fence, etc, call Arrow.“
“I am incredibly happy with the gardening services the business I hired delivered. The gardeners showed professionalism, excellent communication, and a dedication to producing top-notch outcomes. They made sure my garden was generally healthy and beautiful by carefully choosing and arranging the plants, using efficient watering and fertilization methods.“
“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 Planted Earth to completely renovate the landscaping around our house in Oakland. This included design, demolition, earth removal, hardscaping (multiple retaining walls), decking, planting, lighting, and irrigation.The results were spectacular and working with Mick, Ann, Manuel, Carlos, and the various crews was great. Mick and Ann were attentive and hands on during the design phase, incorporating our ideas with their experience and helping us to understand the full process. They are holistic in their approach, considering soil condition, native plants, irrigation and drainage, and fitting into the local environment. They are clear to present the pros and cons of various decisions and didn't try to sell us extra work at any point.The build phase went as smoothly as possible. Planted Earth tries to work with the same crews as much as possible, building strong relationships with talented professionals. Everyone was kind and conscientious, even when our dog tried to apprentice himself as a landscaper. They gave us advance notice when work could be disruptive (e.g. concrete pour) and tried to minimize the disruption as much as possible. We always felt like we knew what was happening and where we were in the process.Planted Earth continued to be available as the work wound down and the new plants took. Small issues with irrigation, questions about plant care, etc. were addressed promptly. We feel like we have a personal relationship with Mick et al. and have recommended Planted Earth to our neighbors. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone with a residential landscaping/hardscaping project!“
“We have worked with Zach and the team at G on two hardscape projects over the last five years. In both, we basically had the design vision, and Zach helped us refine it and execute on it. We are very pleased with the result of the projects, both of which have made our home more comfortable and enabled us to realize indoor-outdoor living. The projects included large poured concrete pads for the front walk, laying of prefabricated concrete pavers on the sideyard and back, a pergola and deck, and lighting, drainage, and the main irrigation lines throughout.Zach was very responsive, and his team leads knew their stuff and were very friendly easy to work with. The pavers on the side- and back-yard took longer than Zach had initially planned for, in part because this was a product his team had never worked with. Nonetheless, they stuck with it and did a good job with the grading and fulfilled our rather complicated design vision perfectly. Guests always comment on how nice the pavers look. Zach's team was also kind to all our established plants in the process, which is not always the case in hardscaping efforts. The team coordinated well with other contractors, too, as we had window replacements and fencing occurring at the same time.Both projects were very reasonable in their price given the labor involved.We highly recommend working with G on your next landscaping project!(*Note that messy plantings in the photos are fully our responsibility, not that of G).“
“Earthly Sites such a really good choice for landscaping designs, best service all around San Francisco Area so far, Ingrid a really great person, always taking care through nice results!“
“Everyone is great there I’ve been working with them for years I love these guys … except for the new guy in the office at the window he’s super rude so if you have a bad experience with him don’t let it deter you from buying from them I doubt he’ll last long“
“David and team helped us plan and execute an entire property landscaping project including a pool, multiple retaining walls (concrete and wood), a custom outdoor kitchen and pergola. David was helpful throughout the entire planning and building process and was able to deliver on multiple changes we requested during the build. I'd highly recommend Heritage for large / complex landscaping and hardscaping projects.“
“We couldn't be happier with the transformation of our backyard by Bon Terra. Johnny did some amazing design work and really helped us establish a vision of what we wanted, and then Isaac came in and executed the plan flawlessly with his team. The project went faster than expected (which seems to be a rarity) and we are thrilled with the results.“
“Jose and his crew did a great job in our garden. We had 2 jobs. Pruning trees and bushes at the front and back of our property and installing a french drain around a garage. I found J&R on Yelp and rang them to ask for a quote. To put together the quote (for free), Jose turned up on time (unlike many other companies we had asked) and reviewed the project. Jose provided the quote quickly with adequate detail by text. His price was the most competitive and he was the most efficient in getting us the quote in hand. On the job itself, Jose and his team were respectful, on time, and tidy. They completed the work within 2 days and we're really happy with the quality of the work. I highly recommend them and will you them again.“
“The Shades of Green team is very friendly and fun to work with. Ive Haugeland has an impressive background and has built an impressive company. Would recommend!!“
“Lynn is such an invaluable resource on all things landscaping and ponds. Plus he's just a good guy too“
“Brilliant work carried out, Fences all round the property, looks great done to a high standard would definitely recommended.“
“Great work ethics, professional service was on time we recommend this company for yard cleanups , we gad a neglected yard , and they transformed to a oasis, thank you guys“
“Francisco and crew have been taking care of our yard for the past year. They redid my sprinkler system, which reduced my water bill,and come every other week for maintance. They do not hesitate to do any extra Thais requested. They are prompt, courteous and professional. One of my neighbors is now using his service. I am very pleases. Carol B. San Rafael“
“Cathy came out a gave a detailed estimate for a renovation project we are doing on our back yard. She had a lot of interesting ideas about how to change the space, which included the moving of soil and the re-using of cobblestones from an old wall. She addressed specific issues like gophers and sandy soil that we had, and had very specific ideas and good solutions regarding how to make the yard into a livable space. She was punctual and professional.“
“My garden was overgrown with weeds and really needed help. I interviewed 4 different landscaping companies and Bill had the best quote for the big job needed. He completely landscaped my garden according to my vision of having a sort of French country garden. He installed a drip irrigation system that continues to save water use several years hence. He also provides monthly upkeep and is always responsive to my phone calls. I don't know what happened with the prior customer review, but I know from my personal experience with Bill that he would give an honest response regarding feasibility of landscaping a garden for a reasonable cost. I wouldn't use anyone else as he has proven himself trustworthy over the three years he has worked on the upkeep of his design. I love driving up to my home and seeing the beautiful, lush garden surrounding it. It makes such a difference!“
