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. They also took great steps to keep our house clean during the project ( they had to trek through our downstairs playroom to access the backyard, hauling debris, plants, and dirt through and avoiding making a mess). We couldn't recommend them more. Thank you!

From the very beginning, everything felt easy and well organized. Rob was responsive and straightforward to work with, Monica created a beautiful design that really made the most of our space, and Rebecca and the crew did an incredible job bringing it all to life. Communication was excellent throughout, and whenever questions or small decisions came up, they were handled quickly and thoughtfully. We were also amazed by how efficiently the team worked. They transformed our yard in what felt like no time at all, while still paying close attention to the details. The finished space is beautiful, functional, and feels like a completely different yard. We were outside enjoying it under the new patio lights almost immediately after they finished! Home projects can sometimes be stressful, but this one genuinely wasn't. The entire experience was smooth from design through construction and final wrap-up, and we always felt like the project was in capable hands. We're extremely happy we chose Logiculture and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and reliable landscaping team. Five stars!

We worked with Steve at Seed Studio on a full redesign of our property, including front, back, and…read moreside yard landscaping, a new driveway, fencing and gates, multiple decks, a patio, an outdoor kitchen, and a built-in hot tub. We do like the final layout and appreciate how efficiently he used the space on our narrow lot. However, there were several significant issues with the process that would keep us from working with him again or recommending him to others. Design Process & Deliverables The final plans were clear and professionally drafted from a contractor's perspective, but they were essentially blueprint-style drawings. We understood going into the project that we would not be receiving full 3-D renderings. However, Seed Studio's website features conceptual sketches and visual representations of designs, which led us to expect that we would receive something similar to help visualize the finished project. Instead, we received only technical plans. For the fees charged, we expected more client-friendly presentation materials and drawings. We also found Steve somewhat unreceptive to feedback once he had settled on a design direction. While he listened to our input, it often felt as though he already had a vision for the project and was not particularly interested in incorporating significant client preferences that differed from that vision. One surprise was the budget. The materials and design choices ultimately specified in the plans ended up costing nearly double the budget range we had initially discussed. We understand that pricing can evolve during a project, but the final design moved so far beyond our stated budget that we would have appreciated more proactive guidance and discussion along the way. Additionally, many of the materials Steve specified were expensive specialty products with long lead times. While they may have been attractive design choices, they added significant cost and complexity to the project. Both contractors we worked with struggled to install certain materials without damage, which created additional delays, expense, and frustration. Contractor Recommendations Steve strongly encouraged us to use a particular contractor from Redwood City, explaining that he wanted to use them more frequently on his South Bay projects. Based in part on his recommendation, we moved forward with them despite some reservations. Unfortunately, that relationship did not work out and we ultimately had to terminate them from the project. While the contractor's performance was certainly their responsibility, we were disappointed that Steve was largely unwilling to become involved when serious issues arose, despite having advocated for them so strongly. Afterward, Steve recommended another contractor whom he regularly works with. They were more familiar with his designs and initially things progressed more smoothly but then we also experienced damage and delays with them. Construction Oversight & Client Support What ultimately disappointed us most was not just the contractors themselves, but Steve's lack of involvement once construction began. The project that was initially expected to take roughly a few months stretched into over 1 year. During that time there were significant delays, damaged materials, scheduling issues, and long stretches where progress slowed dramatically. We were not expecting Steve to manage construction or solve every problem. However, given the size of the project, the substantial design fees, and the fact that both contractors had come through his recommendations, we expected at least occasional check-ins or some level of interest in how the project was progressing. Instead, it felt as though once the design work was completed and final payment was received, his involvement effectively ended. He never checked in, asked how construction was going, or showed interest in seeing how his design was being executed. While ongoing support may not have been formally included in his scope of work, we found the lack of engagement surprising. Most homeowners would reasonably expect their designer to have some interest in the success of a project that represents their work and reputation. Overall We are happy with the overall design concept and how our narrow lot was ultimately utilized. However, the experience getting there was far more stressful, expensive, and time-consuming than we expected. If you decide to work with Seed Studio, our advice would be: * Be very clear and firm about your budget and monitor design decisions closely. * expect only blueprint-style plans without additional visualization materials. * Do not expect ongoing involvement or support once construction begins. - independently vet contractors regardless of his recommendations

Let me share our experience with Go Green Landscaping. In short they are respectful, polite,…read morecommunicative, professional, honest and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them to do any landscaping work you may have. Their front office, supervisors and project staff are completely customer oriented. Shout out to Rachel, Daniel, Dorian, Francisco and Eli. I found them on Yelp and their profile and reviews gave us the perception of a high quality and professional landscape company. as such I felt their pricing may be a bit high. I used Yelp to contact and communicate with them initially. Rachel impressively returned my request for information the same day. I also reached out to 2 other companies at the same time. My initial request was for weed clearing and contouring the front yard. They in fact quoted the highest price for this work. I then asked the three firms to quote the entire front yard landscaping project and this is where Go Green Landscape won me over. I had a plan sketch drawing of the yard with dimensions and notes of what we were looking for. Daniel came out to review this with me. He was patience and knowledgeable to the point where I felt comfortable working with Go Green. (I suggest you have some plans prepared so they can quote properly.) I gave them materials and finishes we desired and wanted to match some existing work we had done. Their quote came back detailed and precise. Everything was documented and clear. Granted we went back and forth a few times to make sure all items, details and costs were accounted for but Rachel handled this like a champ. Dorian, Francisco, Eli and the Team came out to start work. Let me just say these guys know what they are doing. They cleared the front yard in the first day! Then area by area, section by section they worked with me to bring our front yard concept to life. We opted for a super low maintenance design. Retaining wall blocks, pavers, crushed rock, artificial turf and river rock. The quality of care and professional work they provided will impress you. They went back and forth to dump site to drop off waste and to vendors to pick up materials as needed. They shifted workers from job to job as the work progressed. Seems like a well oiled machine with good organization. All in all the work was done timely and we are very happy with the final product. Give them a call!! Check out our before and after images

Their attention to detail, creativity, passion and craftsmanship are next level. Every plant, stone, and contour feels intentional, and the result is a space that thrives with minimal upkeep. On top of that, their communication was fantastic--they kept us informed, listened to our input, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

Tsering is a General Contractor and if he can't do it he has someone who will. Every from, landscaping, lighting, irrigation, construction etc. the total package. Regrettably, I did not take before pictures of the backyard as it was so ugly but I've attached pictures of what I have.

There was trust building right away. Throughout the project, he was communicative, genuine, and gave honest feedback/advice to my questions. When surprises came up, he always presented it with options, recommendation, and cost so we can quickly come to a good decision. He and his team went above and beyond on multiple parts of the project to maximize success, utility, and safety for our family. It was thrilling to see our backyard changing day by day over two weeks to something completely different and beautiful. We've been enjoying our new backyard, thanks to Tsering and his team.

We wanted to create an outdoor space that truly felt like an extension of our home, and JML absolutely brought that vision to life. We initially chose JML because of the beautiful landscapes featured on their website, and from the very beginning of the design phase, the team was incredibly attentive to our goals and the overall feel we wanted the yard to have. They were collaborative, thoughtful, and helped guide us through the process while still making sure the final design reflected our vision. The installation went very smoothly, and the install crew was incredibly professional, skilled, and detail-oriented. They were always willing to take the time to explain different aspects of the project, including the irrigation and lighting systems, which we really appreciated. They were also very accommodating of new requests and responsive to any questions or concerns along the way. The end result exceeded our expectations, and we're so happy with how the space turned out.

Exceptional Retaining Wall Project by JML Landscapes…read moreTransforming Outdoor Spaces with Professionalism and Craftsmanship I couldn't be happier with our recent retaining wall project completed by JML Landscapes.

From the beginning, Brian listened carefully to our goals and transformed our ideas into a beautiful vision of serenity. He hand-drew his design, explained his ideas, and brought everything to life with a respectful, prompt, and clean crew. He transformed our backyard into a true Zenscape, exactly what we hoped for, and created gorgeous front and back gardens complete with irrigation and lighting. We have now worked with Brian and his team for five years, and what stands out most is that the relationship didn't end when the project did. He continues to respond to our calls and messages, offer advice, and help us care for and preserve his work. During a recent construction project, he even coordinated with our contractor and plumber to protect the garden and ensure the irrigation was properly connected. Our front garden now features beautiful plants, rocks, stones, and a Maple tree Brian planted and helped preserve during construction. The backyard has become a true sanctuary, with fire and water features, a birdbath, Japanese lantern, lighting, and a lemon tree--a perfectly balanced retreat for birds, butterflies, and humans alike. Brian and Noe are now helping us refresh a few overgrown areas (our fault!), and we couldn't be happier with their quality, patience, and follow-through. Brian didn't just transform our yard--he transformed our quality of life. Everyone stops to admire the front of our house, and it brings us so much joy. We are incredibly grateful.
