“Hortus Landscapes replaced my front lawn with a beautiful drought tolerant design that looks so much better than my old lawn! I'm very happy with how my landscaping turned out, Vijaya, the owner and her crew made my vision a reality. She was on the job as the project manager everyday for many hours. Her crew was great at following her directions; they were very polite, professional, hard working and cleaned up before leaving each day. Vijaya had her crew pick up and deliver the boulders and flagstones I picked out, she directed her crew where and how to place them so they looked great and I was happy. Hortus built a custom trellis from a drawing I did. In order to get the size just right she went to my neighbors to measure their trellis so we could get a visual of the exact size to make my trellis. Since they started my job last February the nurseries didn't have a full selection of plants so they dug holes and placed empty plant containers to place the plants in when they became available. Vijaya went to several nurseries to hunt down as many of the plants I had chosen, she even drove over 100 miles twice to get the tiny tower cypress I wanted. Hortus installed path and spot lights which makes my front yard light up so beautifully at night. She also installed drip irrigation on all plants and even set up some stock tanks on the side of my yard for herb and vegetable planting. I loved working with Vijaya, she is detailed oriented and a perfectionist like me, she's very knowledgeable in horticulture as per the name Hortus, and has a passion for plants and knows a lot about medicinal herbs, she even shared some of her time honored herbal, spice recipes with me. The landscaping was installed in February, this picture shows what it looked like in July, this summer it should have a lot more color as the plants mature and grow. I got about 3 other bids and Hortus was the best value considering Vijaya's knowledge as a certified horticulturist with over 20 years in the field of landscaping. When they finished the job I was sad to see them leave, I would definitely use them again.“

“Fanny is an artist! We wanted to add beauty to our yard, without getting a "cookie cutter" landscape. What we have is unique, low maintenance, and absolutely gorgeous! Fanny takes her time to create the vision, and the results are worth waiting for. Thank you, Fanny, for our little slice of paradise!“

“Our experience with this group was nothing short of exceptional We met with Dan (brother of Ned) to discuss job, got a quote back in a very quickly, we asked to schedule and was booked within a few days! The day of work, they showed up on time, Dan came to get them started and review the work and the two guys, Richie (arborist) and other tree worker were exceptional. Our trees look so much healthier and beautiful! Excellent service all around. Nice and polite people too! MUCH appreciated!“

“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.“

“This landscaping company is one of the best I’ve used in a long time. I told them what I wanted and they made it even better than I asked for! I can finally enjoy my backyard again after all the winter storms. The price was reasonable as well. I definitely recommend!“

“Jenna has designed multiple gardens for me over the last 22 years at different homes each time we moved. All of the gardens have been stunningly beautiful and lasted for years with plants that were blooming in every season. She most recently did a cottage garden for me in May of 2024 and I was blown away with how quickly and competently the whole project was done by everyone on her team. The garden is so gorgeous and neighbors and strangers both stop to tell me how beautiful it is.“

“Armando and his crew from Verbena Landscaping did an amazing job of helping me transform my retaining wall and backyard to a beautiful garden oasis. They are capable of handling all phases of the project - installing stone veneer, fencing, lighting and plant installation and drip system. It was such a pleasure working with a professional team who cares about their clients and their work. I have no hesitation in giving them top accolades for their work. You won’t be disappointed! With much gratitude for a job beautiful done!Services: Stone landscaping“

“We are absolutely thrilled with the brick wall Angel and his crew built for us. Angel was excellent at consulting with us and our landscape designer, Lorinda Reichert, on design and color and keeping us informed along the way. Angel's crew was meticulous in building the wall and they got everything done on time and within budget. In addition to the wall, they moved some existing boxwood, planted new ones and added sprinklers to keep them all watered. Our new wall, trimmed with boxwood, looks beautiful and we couldn't be happier.“

“Jose and Juan and everyone who worked on this yard did a fantastic, professional, quality job. Each person knew exactly what they were doing. They have followed up and kept in touch and are there if you need them after they finish. I can’t recommend them more highly. Everyone who has seen the yard is in awe. They did everything from scratch. Grading, lighting, hardscape, lawn, sprinkling system etc. Top of the line products and company!Services: Stone landscaping“

“Lane and his crew has done work on our redwoods and Japanese maples numerous times. He and his crew are very professional and complete the job on time and at reasonable price. Lane is very knowledgeable about trees being an arborist as well. We highly recommend this company.“

“The crew from Jim Lord is GREAT!! Our sprinklers in our gardens here in California had not been working in two years. Other companies had tried to fix them with no luck and just made things worse. Gilberto from JL got them all up and running in no time. The lawns and shrubs are finally green again. We also had Victor come and do some re-landscaping of my veggie & cutting gardens. He was so quick. The crew is super professional, friendly & polite and so efficient. They were a joy to work with.“

Great fence. Had them back to build a pergola. They did a great job.“

“Brothers did a great job trimming a huge oak tree in our front yard. After seeing the tremendous amount of work and manpower needed for the job, I think their fee was very fair. I felt they were also honest and transparent in their evaluation and pricing. I would definitely call them the next time we need our oak tree trimmed. Highly recommend.“

“Natural Vibrations Inc. just completed our second project with them, conversion of a 1960s rumpus room into a junior ADU, including bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and dining space.
It required thoughtful design, placement of lengthy sewer and water lines, extensive new electrical work, addition of a window, HVAC heat pump system, removal and replacement of new sheetrock, insulation, porcelain flooring, quartz countertops, appliances, fine carpentry including custom shelving, restoration of antique stained glass windows, tiling, and a versatile lighting system with spectrum-adjustable LED illumination.
This was accomplished with minimal disruption and maximum attention to our input at every stage. We enjoyed their cheerful company and parted, once again, on the best of terms.“

“Excellent service. Provided a reasonable estimate, arrived on time and did a great job. I certainly recommend it.“

“Joel and team helped install my front and back landscaping project. I’ve known and worked with B&L since 2014 and it’s been great to see them grow to what they are today. This team is responsive, attentive, detail oriented, and makes sure the work is done right. Just a team of really kind, humble, hardworking guys who show up on time and stay until it’s done - you don’t always find that.I had full trust that this team would deliver, and they did. Some of the hardscaping work required technical detail and expertise, and the team was able to produce against our modern design. I would highly recommend B&L for any additional landscape needs!“
