    Artificial Turf
    Ari S.

    I worked with Daniel from Design and Build Landscapes on a large backyard project, including a fireplace, BBQ island, patio extension, irrigation, gas and electrical work, and artificial turf. Daniel and his crew were professional, detail-oriented, and delivered excellent workmanship. They turned my ideas into a beautiful backyard oasis. I highly recommend them and would gladly work with them again.

    These guys were great! Daniel and Dan managed my projects. They are both very friendly, experienced and a pleasure to work with... We had several major backyard projects after moving into our new home. This included Designing the backyard to match to our new house, drainage for entire backyard, sunken fire pit, cantilever pergola, outdoor kitchen and more. They managed to get my projects started quickly and did great work with frequent communication so I always knew where we were in the project. Highly recommend Design and Build Landscapes!

    This review is to the entire team who worked on our project. We want to thank you all at Design and Build Landscape for such a great job helping us bring our backyard Patio vision to life. Design and Build Landscape workers with Daniel were great to work with and definitely the best team collaboration we have worked with in years. We look forward to working with you in the future for our next landscape project. Again, thank you all.

    Before building retainer wall

    I'm so happy I went with Design & Build Landscapes to do my backyard renovation. My project included-- push out side yard 5 ft to make the yard wider, build 4'x120' retainer wall, add paver floors 10'x40' and concrete steps with gravels, level backyard ground, add artificial turf and plants, as well as lighting. My backyard turned out looking amazing, much better than expected. All thanks to Daniel and his team in providing top quality work in timely manner. I really appreciate Daniel's professionalism, his attentiveness to details and communication in keeping me updated. His crew was easy to work with and did quality work. The costs for this project was good value for the quality and scope of work. I highly recommend Design & Build Landscapes to do your next landscaping project! And don't forget to ask Daniel as your project manager.

    Yard

    We had a great experience with Design and Build Landscape for our backyard renovation. Our project was fairly large and complex with a sloped canyon lot that required 4 large retaining walls, extensive drainage, concrete steps and a wheelchair ramp, a paved patio, and ~100 new plants. From our initial consultation meeting with Dan and Daniel, we were impressed with the team's communication and attention to detail. Our designer Dave worked with us to refine our vision for the space and create an amazing and functional design. Our project managers Dan and Daniel kept the project on track, on time, and within budget. We also appreciated that the owner Thomas was involved in our project and overseeing the process. We would highly recommend Design and Build Landscape!

    We interviewed several landscape design and build companies to renovate both our front and back yards at our newly renovated home--almost 4,000 square feet! Ben at Landscape Design was absolutely fabulous. He was realistic, reasonable, knowledgeable, and very cooperative and open to our ideas. He understood our budget and did a fantastic job selecting plants, pavers, turf, and their placement. He also constructed a vinyl fence for us, which the vinyl company would have taken months to schedule. Ben completely overhauled both the front and backyard, including sprinkler lines and timers. He offered valuable advice on other improvements, and working with him was a true joy. His crew was incredible, working tirelessly in the heat--morning until night--to complete the project in just two weeks. We highly recommend Ben and his team for any landscaping needs!

    Martin and his team did an amazing job on our backyard. Martin flawlessly executed our vision of creating a more modern landscape with areas to entertain as well as play with our dog. His team was efficient and respectful. Martin also gave us great recommendations along the way with plants and other design elements that we wouldn't have even thought of. He was also open and honest in regards to the cost to make sure we stayed within our budget. I highly recommend Martin and his team and we have already referred him to some friends.

    After four failed appointments with other gardeners/landscapers through personal recommendations and NextDoor - two of which didn't have the creative vision and couldn't recommend a design, one was a no show, and the fourth outright declined my budget of anything less than 100k (#%@k!!!). I was about given up and was just looking (begging) for anyone to come fix my overgrown mess of a backyard. So I started researching on Yelp. I wanted a low maintenance (drought resistant plants) yet modern (clean lines) yard and came across Natura Gardeners. I had no expectations as I was exasperated at this point. However, at our initial meeting, Martin Diky was attentive to what I have to say and gave excellent suggestions. I wanted a small basketball court for my young son, with large pavers, planter boxes for aesthetics, and a safety gate as my ingress/egress is below grade. Martin respected my budget and worked it into the design proposal. His timing was perfect and he has the crew to accommodate the job. Martin was always punctual and his people very professional. His attention to details was impressive as I watch my yard transformed from a wild mess to a beautiful landscape. The job was not inexpensive but the investment was well worth it. The finished product exceeded my expectations and is absolutely stunning. It truly matters who you work with, I am very grateful to have found Martin and his crew!

    Martin and his team were an absolute dream to work with. After calls to landscapers with $80k minimums and gardeners that just seemed interested in picking pretty flowers, Martin transformed our overgrown dirt pit of a yard into a super chill, virtually maintenance free oasis. He and his entire crew were efficient, on time and friendly. Even though he was booked solid he managed to squeeze us in and the results look amazing. In less than a week Martin had cleared years of growth, built up a retaining wall, leveled the site, redid an old irrigation system, stained a fence, set up overhead lights and installed planters/trees. All on a super reasonable budget. These guys are the total package and we couldn't recommend them highly enough.

    a front yard with a driveway and garage

    Martin and his team are great! He came highly recommended by an family friend. We had drainage issues all around our house for years and the sub pumps didn't help and need to resolve it. We also had gophers that ripped up our front yard. Martin went over options with us and took care of both issues. He also helped design our front and back yard and we've got some ideas from their previous projects on their website too. Martin is very responsive even after our project was completed when we had questions and additional work we want to add. We are very happy with his workmanship. Thank you Martin and your team!!!

    After getting a few quotes from other landscapers Martin @ Natura Gardeners came back with the best price! Him and his team helped us remove our existing lawn in our backyard, along with an old rusty shed. We then had him install concrete pavers in the front half of the yard, and decomposed granite in the back half for a vegetable garden that got fenced off with an arbor. He and his team were always professional, on time and sometimes worked over 8 hours a day to get the project done a few days earlier than quoted. We enjoyed working with him and his crew so much, that we're even having him back to help us replace a fence for us. If you have a landscaping project, give Martin a shot- I would HIGHLY recommend him and his team!

    David and all his team of experts did a wonderful job installing new pavers in our backyard. Our…read moreold concrete slabs were cracked, and had shifted, altering the drainage of water to flow towards our house. After interviewing many landscape pavers, Ideal Engineering stood out for being prompt to all the meetings, willing to visit multiple times to double-check measurements before bidding and were knowledgeable on the current state of available inventory and which showrooms to visit to preview them. Prices were very reasonable and transparent. There were no unplanned mark-ups and all change orders were reviewed and had to be approved by me in advance, so I could budget accordingly. I think this is an advantage of choosing a local paver. The work was efficient and professional - different specialized crews for demolition, irrigation, paving, cleanup were used with their own knowledgeable foremen. Each foremen acted as an available point of contact and communication was easy and friendly. Any texts or calls were usually returned within minutes. The teams were proactive in highlighting any complications or issues that might require design approval to make sure the work they did matched what I had in mind. For example, Pedro, the paver lead felt it was better to create a smooth curve at a corner instead of a straight 90 degree corner, and he was right! The boundaries flowed smoother and nicer with the lawn. The paving work was top-notch. We had decided to install premium pavers from Belgard, and it was important the work was done properly for such an investment. This included grading at the proper slopes for proper drainage, adding weed-resistant fabric, multiple levels of graded stone for proper leveling and polymeric sand for good sealing between pavers. The team helped build custom steps that looked very nice to create easy step-downs and paver edging was done with great style and aesthetics. For a potentially complicated project, I really felt confidence in the team and the process. David also helped offer advise in helping me move and reset our external heat pump units so that they could be reinstalled on top of the pavers. They were able to build conduits to facilitate running irrigation and electricity underneath the pavers for adding drip irrigation of containers and future lighting in our garden. Cleanup was thorough, with parts of our yard reseeded and topped with new topsoil. There was no construction debris left on our lawn or streetside. Everything was swept up. Fence gates that were temporarily removed were re-installed to appear as if nothing ever happened. I would definitely use Ideal Engineering (Ideal Landscape & Concrete) again for future projects.

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.

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.
