It is high in price but these are super rare trees that need EXPENSIVE permits and the permitting process got lots worse and more limiting this year. The second wave of silver tips never came this year. I usually wait around on the sidelines to get them - these trees grow only at 6,000 feet and some years they get snowed in. Still, today if you want a 11+ foot tall tree that is silver tip - I think this is your only option. There is one more on Park St Alameda and another on Solano Ave in I think Albany - but they all have lower inventory of the tallest and nicest and most expensive. The best it just good enough for me when it comes to Christmas trees. This year it has become a careful chess game with the low inventory, the blizzard situations in the mountains and the new more limiting and expensive permitting process. Yes, I lurk around these tree farms and kick tires and take mental notes about what's going on. And I can guarantee if you have a hotel lobby or a beautiful home with vaulted ceilings and you want the tree to go all the way to the ceiling - this is your best bet.

After a couple calls the delivery folks showed up at 2:50 -- fortunately his meeting had ended and my 3 o'clock one hadn't started yet so we tag teamed and got the tree up in the living room okay.

Elisa and her team helped me and my neighbor (two people with very different personalities and…read moreaesthetics who share a yard for the long haul) renovate and renew our garden over the past few months. She stayed on budget, skilfully helped us mediate/come to agreements when our opinions differed on looks and plants, and overall communicated thoroughly. She has a quiet presence but listens, cares deeply about her work and our satisfaction. I appreciated Elisa's response when we expressed that some of what was planted did not match our expectations. I thought it might prove a challenging conversation, but it was a simple misunderstanding that she was quick to acknowledge that and fix it without the extra charge for a change. I appreciate Elisa's matter-of-fact approach and direct communication about business policies, etc. There's a lot of proverbial fine print, but I think that's wise and necessary for small businesses. I'd always rather have too much info than not enough. Looking forward to continuing to work with Small Spot as they maintain our garden going forward, and pleased to be supporting a woman-owned small business.

We're so fortunate to have found Small Spot Gardens to help redo our backyard. Elisa and her team…read morewere the only company we spoke with that didn't shy away from our request for a "messy-looking" garden. They also embraced our parallel deck re-do project and were able to incorporate the deck-to-be into their planning. Designing the garden layout and picking the plants was the best part! We effectively looked at a catalogue of different plant options and stone options for the new patio, and even were able to join Elisa at the nursery to look at things in-person. She was extremely receptive to adding our favorites, even if they weren't exactly cohesive to the rest of the yard. She also answered all of our questions and was kind enough to provide some plant care 101 information both before, during, and after the entire process, effectively teaching us how to work with our space, our local weather, and our new garden. Small Spot also was able to work in our favorite plants that were already there, instead of tossing them. For our project, Small Spot redid our entire yard space, with a new irrigation system, new weed guard, and new plants. They also built for us a patio space and planted a tree at our request. They were also kind enough to recommend teams that could help us rebuild our fencing after it toppled during the storms. Overall, it looks AMAZING. The plants have grown and filled in since they were planted. We also set up a schedule with the Small Spot team to come by every few months to assess and maintain the yard while the plants are settling and the weather is changing. It's a nice peace of mind to have them help figure out what's working and what's not, and adjust accordingly. We love our yard now and are so glad to have worked with this group. Highly recommend.

Hiroo Vaswani is simply a genius in interior design. While he specializes in assisting with…read morefurniture selection and design for studio apartments in San Francisco, he also helped me out with two very important projects: 1) Setting up my first grown-up one-bedroom apartment in Oaktown; and 2) Staging a private residence in the 'burbs for an Indian engagement ceremony/party. He approached each project methodically and with complete commitment to achieving the client's vision aesthetically, while also ensuring that the set-up was functional, sensible, and easy to maintain in light of any foreseeable obstacles (such as children running around during the engagement party). He is very versatile in his knowledge of decor; he achieved my requested look of Classic-Bollywood-meets-the-W with the greatest of ease. The thing that sets Hiroo apart from most is that he is genuinely interested in people. He asks a lot of questions, not only to understand how you want your place to look and on what sort of budget, but to understand who you are, what got you to your place, and what motivates you. He puts great care into helping you select the right pieces in the right colors (including wall paint, if desired), has a great knack for incorporating what you already have in the right spot and suggesting what else would fab up your place, and comes prepared with his nails and hammers to get everything set up efficiently. He is a believer in "vibes" and will ensure that things are positioned to optimize good energy. He can also give you practical pointers to keep up the appearance of tidiness even in times of laziness. I normally would have thought that engaging an interior designer would have been out of my league as a young, single professional, but luckily, that is just the niche that Hiroo is here to fill. I'm glad I found Hiroo in time to make my place truly fabulous and not just another dorm room.

These guys are true experts on kitchen and bathroom remodels. Their craftmanship on the finishing works are incredible for the resonable price they charged. The worksmanship are definietly on the high end jobs, and they can also do the design works for you without tagging on the high "design" fees. This is crucial as most homeowners have no clue on how to select the right materials at the most economic ways for their projects. They will assist you in the full kitchen layout, give you suggestions on where to find the lowest priced cabinetry, countertop, tiles and they are honest and accountable for their works. Unlike most contractors, they are super responsive to your phone calls and emails. I had referred them to many of my friends. Only wish I have is that I wish they can hire more labors so they can take up more projects and bigger projects as their workloads tend to backup due to too much referrals. But I would definitely give them a call.
