I literally have my dream backyard and it's all because of Landwell Design + Build…read more Their design process and staff are beyond comparison. I am an interior designer so I had high standards for how the process would get to the end result. Joslyn, the landscape designer, starts the process. She came over to see my sad patch of weeds for a yard. I told her my wish list and the aesthetic I was going for. She drew up the most beautiful plans and right from the get go I could see my vision and her design come to life. Joslyn gets it. SHE REALLY GETS IT. After the design phase, we smoothly transitioned into 'budgeting phase'. That is when Jon takes over and goes over pricing and budget. He is very honest and clear about what can be done and not done within the allotted budget. Although we couldn't get everything we wanted, (due to budget), we were happy with what we ended up choosing to achieve 90% of the backyard we dreamed of. After budgeting, we scheduled the work to be done. When production started, the crew started on time and began working on time and extremely professionally. From the start I could see they really cared about their craft, as the work was done beautifully and professionally. Matt and Marcus became our buds. I can't say enough about how meticulous and thorough of a job they did every step of the way, we REALLY appreciated that. They knew how much this backyard meant to us, and they did everything in their power to deliver us an excellent experience all through the process. In our opinion, the job was pretty big so it took about 4 months to complete with work happening almost every day for that time. In a limited space, we were able to create an entire outdoor fully built out 9' x 12' office space for my husband. We have a dining area covered by a pergola, a fire pit corner, a hot tub, and decent sized grass area (synthetic turf) for our kids to play. It truly is a show stopper and I am in awe everyday when I look out those sliders and see what they have created for us.Thank you so much Landwell. The Millers are big fans and we are grateful we found you and chose you to help us make living in SLO even better!

We can't say enough amazing things about Landwell. We absolutely love our backyard. My wife and I…read moredo not trust easily, but Landwell went above and beyond! If you're looking for a design + build experience, for so many reasons you have to go with Landwell. My wife and I were after a modern boutique hotel rooftop vibe for our backyard. Their lead designer Joslyn learned all the elements we wanted, provided additional elements we didn't know we wanted and packaged everything in a beautifully cohesive design. Owner Jon and the crew Ryan, Woody and others were incredible to work with. Always in great spirits and willing to accommodate any additional requests no matter how big or small. They had passion and took pride in their work. We're grateful we went with them. They took our completely empty dirt back yard to complete transformation in 3 months. We are continually blown away. We plan to have additional work done on our front yard and will only use Landwell. Thank you again to the entire Landwell team!

I began using Larry back in 2006. We needed a few things after moving into our home in SLO: a…read moreretaining wall, in the back yard, a dry creek from the side of that retaining wall, and a drain around the house to keep rain from ever flooding the house, and carrying it to the front yard. He put in drain covers over this drain at all the downspouts around the house. By 2015 we asked him to put pavers in place of our driveway and widen it, and use pavers to replace the sidewalk from the driveway into the house. A year later we had him remove the grass in front and he carried the dry creek out from the back yard to the front ending with that drain outlet at the deeper end of that.He did much of the planting in front then too. in 2017 I discovered a state offer to increase rain storage and he helped us with our 660 gallon overflow tank. In 2020, I asked him to deepen the dry creek in front to a swale which would allow extra rainwater not able to be caught and held in any of my tanks, into the swale and be allowed to soak into the ground water from the outlet of the 2006 installed drain. In 2022, when we had something crazy like 8" of rain in one day, and it flooded into the house, he installed a new drain cover as needed and tied it into that original 2006 drain. See the pattern? He can adapt his original work as the owners live on the property and their designs, needs and desires adapt, and change over time. It need not be just a one time job, it can be a relationship which improves the property over the years. I have always felt I received excellent Value for his work, and that of this employees.
