    My husband and I wanted to renovate our unusable backyard for our kids to play in this summer. Alex was quick to respond and tried to work with our budget. In addition, having the feature of 3D design sealed the deal for us going with Alex and his team. The team showed up on time each day and was patient to answer our questions and concerns. We love our backyard now and have been using it everyday! We've already recommended Alex and his team to our friends and plan to use him again for our front yard reno.

    Home is my happy place and my happy place was long overdue for a makeover. I was referred to Alex by a friend. Alex had previously redesigned my buddy's entire back/front yard and it looked too good not to revamp my own also. I gave Alex a call and he was able to swing by for measurements the next afternoon. I got the quote two days later, contract was signed the same day, and the job started a few days after that. Both efficient and reliable. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and always answered my dozens of questions. Now- the work itself.. I'll let it speak for itself. Needless to say, I'll be using 101 landscape & design's services again in the future.

    From the raised paver deck.

    I originally found Alex at 101 Landscape on yelp. I had received three quotes to renovate my backyard but ultimately decided on Alex because he was organized, had good recommendations, and was also able to do the design as well. Glad I made this decision. During the project, Alex was very communicative and open to slight modifications and adjustments as the work progressed with his team. I had done a front yard renovation a couple of years prior and was nervous stuff would go wrong but felt confident throughout and knew Alex wanted to ensure everything was done properly and to our liking. Overall, I would highly recommend 101 Landscape for hardscaping. We are super happy with how everything turned out and excited to use our backyard more frequently.

    Alex and his team did a great job in transforming our backyard into a functional and beautiful family recreation and living space. This was our first time ever taking on a major renovation project so Alex was there to guide us from design to execution. He helped us make informed decisions to pick materials, layout, project scope that met our vision but also stayed within our budget. His team is very professional and delivered a high quality output. Alex was on the project site every day to monitor progress (even when he had an injury) and was extremely responsive over texts/calls. To demonstrate their dedication to the project- on one occasion, they accidentally damaged the grass in our front yard during demolition. The very next day, they replaced the entire lawn with new sod free of cost, no questions asked. I highly recommend this team if you want someone who cares about your project as much as you do!

    Alex was such a great help! We had a consultation one day about what I wanted for my backyard; I knew I wanted something with shade but wasn't sure what I wanted. Alex recommended a pergola and I was sold! I was thinking of just buying a cabana to add to the backyard but this was a better idea. This was sturdier and permanent, perfect for the family to hangout under. Not only did he deliver something great but he is very passionate about his work and that's what I loved about him. I've already recommended Alex to my family and girlfriends family! Definitely 5 stars to him and his company.

    We recently hired them to work on our home and they did a much better job than we expected. Alex and his workers worked very hard and were knowledgeable. They gave lots of good advice and were easy to communicate with. He speaks both English and Korean fluently which was a huge plus for our family.

    Talk about QUALITY WORK & CUSTOMER SERVICE! Alex & his crew did an outstanding job on my property. Every aspect of the project was executed to my specifications, and had no problem making adjustments mid-way through. Very professional & easy to work with, detailed craftsmanship, & most of all made me & my family feel comfortable knowing everything would be taken care of! I recommend 101 Landscape to all my clients and friends. They do not disappoint!

    Very quality work and customer service is great. They are fast at what they do and I am satisfied with everything they do. I would definitely recommend them for anyone

    Jennifer K.

    Alex and his crews are such amazing people to work with. They are not only professional but friendly and kind. I have been their customer for years and they never disappoint. For any requests and projects I have in mind, Alex is always willing to listen and provide his expertise. He is quick in responding and his price is reasonable. He also follows up after the project is done to make sure everything is okay. Alex has completed multiple projects for my property the past few years and I get compliments from everyone all the time. I would definitely recommend him!

    We highly recommend 101 Landscape and Design. We could not be happier with how our front yard turned out. They designed and installed the pavers, built the little retaining walls, and planted our succulent garden. They were fast, efficient, and affordable. Even after the work was done, Alex has come back to check in and fix any little things that need tweaking. He also chose and installed the solar lights at no charge, which adds a nice finishing touch. We are thrilled with the end product and will use them for our backyard when we get to it!

    My girlfriend and I have been looking to hire someone to remodel the exterior the past year. We wanted to be sure that the person we went with would bring our vision to life. After meeting with several companies, we stumbled upon 101 landscape. Alex came over to the house for a consultation and he was nothing short of amazing. After the meeting, he provided my girlfriend and I with a 3D render that was a perfect match to our vision. We approved the project and the rest was history. We are so thankful for Alex and his team for being meticulous, efficient, and diligent throughout the project.

    Updated front lawn.

    I can finally leave a review now that they have a Yelp account. I have dealt with several contractors before and hands down, Alex and his team are the best. They made the whole process painless.. from the initial estimate to post work. Everything was easy and black & white. They did a wonderful job adding the sprinkler system to my lawn as well as adding a flower area for my house. Highly recommend these guys!

Their unlimited revisions were a huge advantage for someone like me who loves diving deep into design details. Achva's design instincts are spot on -- her guidance on the louvre placement and overall layout truly elevated the space. They also suggested furniture pieces and styling ideas, which helped me make great choices when I did my own shopping. Their recommended contractors were excellent, but the pricing was higher than I expected. To stay within budget, I decided to manage the entire project myself with separate contractors. The final design had replaced the custom fountain with a more budget-friendly option, but on request they were kind enough to share the original custom fountain design, which I built with my contractor at a much lower price. The whole project was very time consuming and hard work, but it saved a lot of cost, and the result was incredibly rewarding. Due to some misunderstandings, we decided to part ways amicable, so they couldn't continue with the front/side yard phase -- but they still provided the initial concepts that I can use in the future. Overall, Vision to Completion delivered a thoughtful, contemporary design that became the blueprint for a transformation I'm truly proud of. Highly recommended for anyone who wants creative, flexible, and detail oriented landscape designers. I have attached a few images of their initial concept and the final backyard images to show the transformation!

We ran into some difficulties at the start due to a last-minute cancellation by Matt and some unresponsiveness through email. When we voiced our concerns, Matt really stepped up to ensure our concerns were met. He immediately refunded us for the cost of the service, and he offered to meet with us at no cost. We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!

We contacted one of the contractors a few weeks later and finished the project with them in about 2 months. I highly recommend the Virtual Consultation for smaller projects with Matt. His feedback for our questions and experience with similar projects were very beneficial to starting this backyard project for us.

They ruined and broke numerous branches while admitting that these plants are very delicate. They rushed the job that should have been at least two hours and finished in one hour. I should have stopped them after the owner told me to go inside and they will let me know when they were done. You never tell someone that's paying you $500 dollars to take your time and do a professional job to go inside. I should have told him to get the F off of my property and hired someone else. I would have been better off hiring men from Home Depot. Totally unprofessional, rushed the job, ruined a couple of plants and didn't give a shit how it looked, even after I showed the owner the damaged plants and all the broken branches only to find more as the branches dried out in the weeks to come. He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing. I've waited weeks to write this review, in hopes that the job would look better, but it doesn't. Thanks a lot, KAY GREEN LANDSCAPING FOR DOING A SHITTY JOB AND TELLING ME TO GO INSIDE.

His recommendations were thoughtful and turned out great. I would definitely use Kay Green again for any future landscaping projects and will happily recommend them to family and friends!

Our new backyard is gorgeous, and the details of our experience tell the story. We worked closely with Danny, the on-site supervisor, who is a top-notch professional. He knows his plants and hardscape, pays attention to every detail, and manages his crew with great efficiency. The crew worked as hard as any I've ever seen, and they did everything--digging out enormous tree roots, setting flagstone for our patio, installing irrigation and lighting, moving boulders--you name it. They showed up every day and even worked several Saturdays to get the job finished on time and before we had to travel. These guys were terrific, and I can't thank them enough for the tremendous effort they put into both the demolition and the complete recreation of our backyard. Marcus, the office manager, was also great to work with. He took us out to select our patio stone, river rock, and boulders, and was patient and generous with his time as we made decisions throughout the project. If you need a concern or question answered quickly, call the office: they respond right away! As we watched the project progress over the weeks, my husband and I often commented to each other on the quality of the work and the care being taken with every part of the job. We are grateful to every one of the men who worked in our yard and deeply appreciate their hard work, skill, and professionalism. I recommend SouthBay Landscape and Design enthusiastically and without reservation. They do top-quality work, and they were a pleasure to have at our home. One additional note: we also used the landscape designer they recommended, Dawn, and she was excellent. We are thrilled with the beautiful backyard they all helped create.

I wanted the fix to last long term, not just hold me over for a year or two before another gopher invasion destroys our yard. Everything was extremely professional and delivered to contract specifications. We were extremely happy with the results. They had to move a portion of our fence to get the big equipment in but you wouldn't even know it had been moved because they were total pros putting things back.

All in all, highly recommend and we'll definitely use them again for our landscaping needs.
