“Many years ago we had Jenna Bayer Garden Design completely remodel the backyard of our first home: new plants & trees, water saving irrigation system, a charming water feature, Adirondack chair area with a granite boulder as coffee table and the perfect deck roof addition with overhead gas heater. It was perfect!We loved her work, her eye for great design and her attention to detail so much that many years later when we moved into out new larger home (and larger property, we had her completely redesign the front, back and side yards. This included again all new plants & irrigation, plus a brand new deck (with 2 electric louver roofs, copper hammered fire table, water feature between two raised vegetable garden beds, several salt and pepper granite boulders added to complement the several existing 85 year old Redwood trees, a decomposed granite pathways and a wandering bluestone walkway leading to a new stone lined driveway.Today the garden and ground look wonderful and as our hobby is maintaining the garden ourselves, we are always being complimented on how beautiful the yard looks. So much so that we keep the landscape summary binder we received handy so we can answer the multitude of questions we receive about the plants in the yard. We have recommended her to others in the past and will continue to do so in the future!“
“a few months ago we hired Bary Scenery to start with a design for our ADU and backyard landscaping. After looking at a few contractors and also designers we decided to go with a design and build. Talked to the owner, Ali, about the process and he was very clear as to the fact that they design under the contractor license so if they end up getting the permit they are the only ones that can build it but he also said if they decide not to build with them we can shop around and get our own contractor but that contractor has to do their own permit work. Checked with local city and they confirmed that is the case, so we hired them to start with design.
Their team is local in Mountain View and have a nice design studio, worked with head of design Behdad a lot, he has a lot of architectural educational background from Italy and his style of work is very unique. They designed our ADU and our backyard in about 2 months timeframe and gave us details for the construction cost as well. We shopped around and found out that other builders prices were very similar to Bay Scenery but they did not want to deal with Permit nor they seems to have both trades we need which were General Contractor and Landscape Contract and we would have to deal with multiple companies ourselves which was not ideal considering our own daily work load.
Signed the contract to build with Bay Scenery, they have taken care of all of the permit work like clockwork and kept us in the loop. Few challenges from the city that they are working on and we are about to start build.
I must say we were not too sure about a design and build but found that the Bay Scenery team were the most transparent and honest about the process and so far have enjoyed working with them.“
