We recently hired Afuera Outdoor Living for our backyard project, and they were absolutely incredible to work with. Before finding them, we were getting bids from other companies and felt completely confused and uncertain. Most offered no design support, just a quick walk-through and an a-la-carte bid with no real direction. It felt disorganized and left us feeling stuck. My husband wanted a VersaCourt sport court, so he reached out through their website and was connected with Afuera, the preferred installer in our area. I had seen Afuera's work on social media but assumed they were out of our price range. From the moment we met George and Jamie, we knew we had found the right team. They had a clear vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, explained the process, timeline, and payment structure, and walked us through their impressive portfolio. As a business professional myself, I really value exceptional customer service, and it was obvious from day one that Afuera delivers exactly that. Throughout the project, their team went above and beyond. When small issues came up, they proactively reached out with cost-effective solutions. They even contacted the company that installed our original pavers and coordinated warranty repairs, something they didn't have to do but chose to because they genuinely care about their clients and the final result. We've since hosted several events, and everyone is blown away by the space Afuera designed. I cannot recommend them enough. If you're looking for a company that provides direction when you're unsure where to start or one that can bring your vision to life, Afuera Outdoor Living is the team you want. read more

Afuera Outdoor did an amazing job remodeling our backyard. It went from being a space we dreaded dealing with, to a beautiful and cozy space. We told them what we wanted and they took it to the next level. They were professional and would show up when they said they would. They finished within the given timeframe and left the area spotless. Thank you George and team! read more

We discovered a water leak under our driveway and thought we'd have to cut through the concrete to fix it - not a fun situation. But then our awesome neighbor Goerge Loera stepped in. He's the owner of Afuera Landscape Design and outdoor Living here in Reno, and his timing couldn't have been better. Thanks to his skills and experience, He helped us dig access holes on both sides of the driveway and tunnel underneath to replace the damaged drip pipe -- No concrete cutting needed! George's professional knowledge and problem-solving saved us a major headache. if I ever need landscaping services in the future, I know exactly who I'm calling. Huge thanks, George, for your help and generosity! read more

I highly recommend AFUERA OUTDOOR LIVING for any landscaping you might want to have done. George and Jamie will consult with you, and Jamie will draw up plans for your landscape design. Once you approve the plan they will give you an estimate. They have four men who do all the work, and they are excellent in every aspect of the job. George and Jamie are always available, and they come frequently to check on the progress of the work, and if there are any issues that need to be resolved. They are in constant contact and will keep you informed about everything that is going on. They are very knowledgeable and a super nice young couple. I now love being in my backyard. I is gorgeous!! read more

See all

We hired Loera's Landscaping (Afuera Outdoor Living) to help us design and update our backyard. We only had a general idea of what we wanted, but after meeting with Jamie Sutton and George Loera, we were able to work together on a plan which included considerations for our walker-bound elderly parents. Jamie made the design process painless and easy. They were able to help us outline the plan, get a budget set and even helped with submitting to the HOA. When the work started the team showed up every day, on time and worked very hard, through good weather and bad. We were kept updated every step of the way, and even when we made changes, they were more than willing to work with us to get things done in a quick and efficient manner. We expected George to cringe every time we said "Hey George, question for you..." but he responded to every question, request and idea with humor and good grace. What started with a very small rarely used space surrounded by a mass of sagebrush turned into a showcase large yard where we love to spend time now. George made sure the slope of the looping ADA compliant paver walkway was gentle enough for our parents and still blended seamlessly into the design. Our parents are thrilled with how nice the yard is now. We've worked with multiple contractors on indoor and outdoor projects across several properties in California and Nevada, and our experience with Afuera was by far the best. Jamie even brought over food enough for several meals and a nice plant to make things easier on us when Mom returned from a stay in the hospital. At the end of the job, it was hugs all around, we were that happy with the experience. We do miss giving Alaska, George and Jamie's dog, head scratches. We unhesitatingly recommend them and give them the highest rating possible. read more

Jamie and George handled the design phase of our project expertly. They really listened and understood what we were looking for, and they proposed creative and beautiful options to transform our typical subdivision backyard into a modern, restful oasis. They are extremely knowledgeable about materials and choices for water features, fire pits and outdoor kitchens. Highly recommend! read more

I have hired Loera's to help improve and maintain my yard with a xeriscape approach. First they impressed me by coming in under a couple of other outfits, and then they followed up with first rate, timely, and professional work. Today they did some follow-up maintenance work and repaired a faulty part of my irrigation system, potentially saving me a lot of hassle in the not-too-distant future. They are easy to work with, although they are extremely busy, so the sooner you contact them the better in the current environment. read more

I am very grateful to this company. They came in and repaired a poor job that was done by a previous company and was very professional about it. They made sure that all of the bad items under the grass was removed and leveled it perfectly. They even corrected our sprinkler system and drip system lines that had not been done properly from the previous company. Thank you so much for such a good job done I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a landscaper. read more

The team at Loera's did a great job for the installation of Everlights at our house. Our roof pitch in Tahoe is steep and somewhat challenging. The team came prepared and completed the job in a timely and safe manner. The end result is better than we imagined ( fantastic technology for lighting up the house all year round). The team were professional, turned up when they said they would and kept us informed of the project status. Can't recommend them highly enough. read more

This landscaper has ideas with no follow through. Despite phone recording/pictures as we walked through our well established yard, he ended up pulling out plants/shrubs that took years to grow and never intended to part with. After we hired him, it all fell apart. Starting with no truck. Stating he would be here at a certain hour and not coming for hours or completely postponing. He even missed days due to lack of tools. Told us he needed to rent this or that. We wanted to support him because he is young but we were the fools. I am a disabled Veteran and my husband is of an age now where it is painful to keep up with our yard work. He left us with more work than what we had originally. Despite his license number on his business card, a belated search revealed no state contractor's license AT ALL. His Facebook page does not include a license number. Isn't that interesting? Please do not make our mistake. This Veteran has just been traumatized all over again. Hope he's proud of how he cared for those who served. read more
