I recently hired Steve Turner of Black Diamond for a comprehensive outdoor project that included…read morepavers, planting, and irrigation. They managed every aspect of the project with a high standard of quality and strict attention to detail. Design Expertise: The team was incredibly thoughtful during the planning phase. Their design insights optimized the layout of the hardscape and plants, resulting in a highly cohesive and functional outdoor space. Quality & Speed: The workmanship on the pavers is outstanding, with precise cuts and proper grading. The irrigation and landscaping were integrated seamlessly. In addition to the high quality, the team worked efficiently and completed the project as scheduled. Thoroughness & Cleanup: They were meticulous from start to finish. Once the work was completed, they performed a timely and thorough cleanup, leaving the entire property spotless. Reasonable Pricing: The pricing was highly competitive and fair, offering excellent value for the level of professionalism and quality delivered. I highly recommend Black Diamond for any detailed hardscape and landscaping projects.

I also had a pretty skimpy budget and needed to comply with the water company's rebate requirements. Tyler created a plan that filled every wish. His finished site plan reflects his extensive plant knowledge and a very fine eye for detail. He is well acquainted with the water rebate program and was able to answer questions thereof. I also used his service to purchase and deliver plants, and have him onsite to place the materials. This service alone is worth every penny; he moved plants and boulders around to the best aesthetic. After everything was complete, he came back for some fine-tuning and recommendations for my gardener. To save money I had my gardener do the installation but really wish I'd had the budget for a more extensive job done by one of Tyler's more experienced contractors. But I'm very happy with the result and recommend Tyler without hesitation. He's also a really nice guy and so easy to work with!

The team radically transformed our backyard to a wonderful space. They were incredibly professional and clearly have a plan and know what they're doing.

We couldn't recommend them more. Thank you!

From the initial consultation, to scoping and budgeting, and then to design and execution, I felt like we had a great partner throughout and we loved the final product.

Andre and team are top notch from start to finish. They worked on our project with scope and…read moreexpectations clear defined, and delivered excellent work. After the initial consultation with Luis, Andre provided a detailed quote with breakdown of all the items, labor cost, and materials. Their quote is not the cheapest but definitely the longest. I like how the quote had all the cost breakdown and specifics regarding choice of materials and scope of work. Another thing I wanted to highlight is the fact that Andre was able to propose something creative and different to enhance our existing design, so that we ended up with multi-tier retaining walls and re-using a lot of the existing boulders on the side. Our project involved a lot of demo / excavation on a steep hillside, building a large paved deck with railing + steps up and down. From start from finish, the crew worked every single weekday from 8am sharp to 5pm. There is no playing loud music, no messing around during lunch time, just super organized hard work and impeccable work ethic. Due to the difficulty to access the backyard, everything was done by hand, and the end result came out amazing. To our surprise, the entire project took LESS than two months! What a transformation! We look forward to hiring them for more work in the future.

I scheduled an appointment with GCSF for an on-site estimate. About 10 minutes after the scheduled…read moreappointment time, I received a call from the office saying the estimator had arrived, spoken with the residents, and then left. The problem was that I had been waiting at the correct location the entire time. Before the appointment, I had both verbally and in writing asked them to make sure they did **not** go to a different address in another town. The receptionist confirmed that the estimator had gone to the wrong address and assured me he would come to the correct one. Unfortunately, after waiting another hour, I never heard from the estimator or the office. My attempts to call the office also went unanswered. At that point, it became clear that no one was coming and no one was going to let me know. Mistakes happen, but what disappointed me most was the lack of communication and professionalism. GCSF wasted more than 90 minutes of my time and couldn't extend the courtesy of a simple phone call or update. Based on this experience, I can't recommend them.

Jennifer was wonderful from start to finish with our backyard landscaping project! She really…read morelistened to what plants I wanted and what would grow with minimal maintenance (hint: native!) and when I was clueless she helped guide me. She spent a good amount of time and worked really well with our landscape people to make sure everything was in place correctly. We are ready to add in more plants now after 1.5 years! She helped us understand how to not crowd the plants and she was right! I thought her price point was reasonable. Also love that she is local to Pacifica which was a bonus to us.

From start to finish, Liaison Landscapes exceeded my expectations. I had a vague concept of what I…read morewanted in a backyard, but I needed profession help! I had a list of must haves, wants, and aspirational items. Elliott was able to help design a project that we could work on in stages. I gave them a budget and we were able to get the majority of the things I wanted within the budget! The team was professional, courteous, and efficient! I can't believe how quickly they were able to finish the project, and they left the space neat and clean. I appreciate the flexibility when I wanted things moved or changed (even while the project was happening). I appreciate Markus' availability to review the work and his desire to make sure I was happy with the final results. If you are looking for a landscaping company to help you design your outdoor living space, and then bring it to life, Liaison Landscapes is your place!

TLDR: Find another landscaping crew…read more We used them for landscaping. The process started great. They communicated well and the team was friendly. However, execution was lacking. They planted some things that died quickly (that is fine, that happens) and others that were in shaded areas that require more light than they get; essentially not growing in months (that should not have happened). Additionally, they forgot some plants we had discussed and then required multiple follow-ups on my end to replace some that died. Finally, and this is what really made me give them a one star review, they recommended a new gravel for our stairs with an adhesive to keep it together. That adhesive failed. They changed their story multiple times on the cause of the issue depending on who on their team I talked to; field crew said it was them, owner said it was on the supplier...In the end, it was on me to pay them for a more powerful adhesive product and for another day of labor for a team to come back out to complete the job properly. Well, guess what, that adhesive is coming apart again after limited use. In all, poor choice of some plants / locations and subpar engineering work and terrible accountability. If you like to pay for other people's mistakes, by all means, use them.
