I recently removed an inground swimming pool for my backyard and was left with a dirt lot that I needed to develop. We really had no firm ideas of our own regarding how to develop the backyard, but Brandon came out and gave us some really fantastic design options. After consulting with other businesses, we decided to go with Dream Green Landscape. After we explain to Brandon exactly how we would like to use the backyard, he came up with a perfect configuration that combined pebble, concrete, and succulent plants. Brandon sent us all of the potential plants we could use, but we ultimately trusted his creative vision and allowed him full reign to pick whatever he thought would look best. Brandon has an impressive crew that came out and did the work alongside Brandon. They laid irrigation, put in the plants, the ground cover, and the concrete. The final product is amazing. We love our backyard, and with Brandon's efforts, it has been transformed into a wonderful serene environment that we enjoy spending time in. Brandon warranties all plants for 6 months, and when a few plants didn't look particularly healthy, he came out and replaced all four of them no questions asked. I've hired plenty of contractors in my day, but the real test of customer service is how well they treat you after you've parted with your money. Brandon was just as responsive and customer service oriented in replacing these plants as he was in getting our business in the first place. Several of my neighbors who are considering similar projects have viewed and loved the work Brandon did in our backyard. They are currently working with Brandon on their own projects. We've been so pleased we're considering now removing the grass in our front yard and having Brandon put together a design to replace our front grass with drought resistant landscaping. I can't recommend this company enough. Brandon is a true pro and a credit to his craft. read more

This is a great landscaping company. I highly recommend them. Brandon, the owner could not have been more professional. He came out immediately and provided us with a quote and made some great suggestions on how to make the project look even better than we expected. He and his workers arrived on time each day and they finished the job earlier than scheduled. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Our backyard slope is now filled with beautiful colorful plants and flowers with (what is growing into) a carpet of green myoporum as the backdrop. it's really beautiful. The tree Brandon recommended brings an added touch of contrasting colors and a unique look. we couldn't be more pleased! read more

Brandon did a full driveway and front walkway destruction and redo. From start to finish Brandon was professional, on time, and did a great job. We really appreciated that he lent us his creative input and helped us figure out what we really wanted without pressure. We went back and forth a bunch and he was great. The whole project turned out so great that we're having him come back for the backyard. read more

Awesome results. Our yard looks amazing. Brandon and his team are the BEST! Highly recommend

I wanted artificial turf in front yard and new real in back that was more drought tolerant- Brandon and his team could do it all! I priced other landscapers and Brandon's quote was spot on - so why go with his service? Because he could do it all- other companies only wanted to do the artificial BUT more important- Brandon struck me as "the real deal" no gimmicks just solid honest answers. I had many questions and he would come back to my house and patiently answer them all. The team was efficient, polite and on time! That was important to me- no starting and then weeks later they finish. I did have 2 small spots on the real lawn that seemed dry - I contacted Brandon and he sent out Jose (such a nice man) to look at it- no questions asked, he replaced the 2 spots of lawn right then. Do yourself a favor don't pass up a chance to talk to Brandon and get a quote for your yard work! read more

By far the most professional contractors we have ever worked with. Brandon came highly recommended and we were not disappointed. Start to finish he was timely with response and quotes and once the crew got started they didn't leave until they finished the entire project. By all means we gathered a few quotes and not only did Dream Green beat out the others but the advice that Brandon gave us was great. Never tried to push products or look. He wanted this to be our vision and really helped us realize it. Great suggestions on plants and lighting. Our yard is seriously a place where we spend a lot more time now and we love it. Oh and the fire pit!!! Great work in setting that up and really great attention to detail from him and crew. With COVID his crew was very respectful and wore masks and by all means couldn't ask for nicer guys. Can't wait to do business again! read more

Brandon and his team did a wonderful job removing our front lawn and replacing it with drought tolerant plants and rock. The yard is beautiful! Brandon had great suggestions, was flexible with changes and replaced a few plants that died with no questions. His team was quick and everything looks great. His price was very reasonable and was inline with the other quotes we got. I highly recommend him and have recommended him to a few of my neighbors. read more

We had a great experience with Brandon and his team. He came over to discuss the job and provided a detailed quote to us within 36 hours. His price was very reasonable. Without taking any notes, his bid included everything that we asked for. The job started on time. But because of the rain, the progress was slowed down. However, Brandon's team made up the days by working Saturdays and an occasional Sunday. Brandon was flexible when it came to making changes. He was patient, polite, communicative, and kind. We are delighted with the end result. We highly recommend Dream Green! read more

Brandon and his team recently re-paved our driveway and made concrete steps up to our front door. We initially only wanted to do the steps and Brandon's quote was the best of everyone we talked to. We decided that we needed to do the driveway at the same time to match and Brandon gave us a new quote for the amount of work that needed to be done and it was incredibly reasonable. His guys were quick, professional, and did really great work. Brandon was on top of it the whole time and really communicative, making sure we were getting everything we needed. Will definitely work with him again. read more

I am extremely happy with Dream Green, Brandon, his crew, and how my backyard project turned out. Everyone that has seen the yard has been blown away. They say it's beautiful, like a new house, and made the yard seem bigger. Brandon really listened to my needs for both budget and timeline, and came up with a phased plan that worked for me. Other companies either didn't seem to want the project, or didn't listen and proposed things outside my scope. They completed the project faster than I expected, and exceeded my expectations. There was a couple minor issues, and Brandon didn't hesitate to have his team come out and quickly resolve them. The crew showed up on time every day and worked hard. The last 1/2 hour each day they would always clean up everything. We were dealing with tons (literally) of dirt, rock, material going in and out, and they always left the driveway clean and organized, and kept the backyard under control. After comparing several companies, I think Dream Green provides a very high value and I'd highly recommend them. read more

Almost 2 years later and my backyard still looks great. We use the outdoor grill and stovetop frequently and enjoy the space. We recently ran into some electrical issues. Not sure what was the cause, but I called Brandon thinking he could just walk me through and provide some troubleshooting tips. Instead he sent over an electrician to fix everything. That's customer service! Thank you Brandon and Craig! read more

I vetted multiple landscape-paver companies to pave our driveway and replace our front lawn with synthetic grass. I made the right choice with Dream Green Landscape. The owner is excellent with communications - a rare find in this line of work. Answered all questions expeditiously, and delivered quality work at a good price-value. I found that their portfolio of services far-exceeded most companies which is valuable vs hiring other contractors for ancillary work. Exceeded my expectations and hence a high recommend. read more

I contracted with Dream Green Landscape to update my backyard and Brandon and his crew were awesome! The job included stone veneer work, stucco, sod replacement, improved drainage, tree removal, hill clearing and replanting. Brandon's team were here Monday - Friday from 8AM until 4PM. Brandon checked in with me every few days to make sure I was happy with the progress and to check to see if I had any directional changes on my mind. I did ask Brandon to change and add some additional work along the way. He never batted an eye but worked with me and made the additions as asked. Whenever you hire anyone to do some work for you, outside of being competent, the main thing you want is someone who is responsive. Brandon and his team were both highly competent and extremely responsive. If you're looking for a fantastic landscaping company, Dream Green Landscape is the one. Hire them with confidence. Thanks Brandon, my family and I are enjoying our resort like backyard. read more

My wife and I were looking to replace our grass with drought tolerant landscape. From the very first time I met owner Brandon I knew he was the one for the job. He immediately understood what we wanted, and his passion and experience for such a remodel was evident. He quoted me a price on the spot which he never deviated from except for when we added and removed items. Brandon worked hard to meet both our needs and the requirements of our HOA. Though he has a crew he himself was very hands-on throughout. He was extremely communicative, friendly and available by phone and text. The work he did on our yards shows a commitment to quality and detail. I'm very pleased with the work performed by Dream Green. If you are looking for an honest, personable contractor who has a passion for landscape transformation then I cannot recommend this company highly enough. read more

Dream Green Landscape just finished our backyard, which was all dirt just a few weeks ago! They deserve more than 5 stars. We had an idea of what we wanted and Brandon really listened and drew up a design that we were really happy with. Professional and kind throughout the whole process. Attached are the pictures of our new backyard. Dream Green Landscape transformed the whole backyard and everything you see in the pictures was done by them. We love the paver patio, the planters throughout the border of the backyard, the grass, the trees, the landscape lighting, the pathways, and we are really happy with the whole look. They also placed an outdoor electrical box so we will be able to have lights in our wooden gazebo that will soon be on our patio. The crew was very nice and very hardworking! The days were hot and a couple days with major winds but they continued to work through it all. We are very pleased with the outcome and the attention to detail on the large paver patio that we had done. It was easy to communicate with Brandon and the crew. We got a few bids from other companies that were outrageous. With Dream Green Landscape, you get great quality at a great deal. We will be contacting them again to do a paver driveway in the future. We would highly recommend this company! read more

We are so glad we chose Dream Green Landscape for their expertise in designing our backyard, providing great plant suggestions, and being professional at every step of the way. Our backyard project consisted of building a retaining wall, leveling the grounds, planting 40+ plants throughout the area, installing lights, and putting in a drip irrigation system. Brandon also took his time to meet me at the nursery to ensure what plants I would like for the yard. In the process Dream Green also identified a leaking sprinkling valve which they fixed which would have caused extensive damage if it wasn't. From the first day Brandon came out to provide me a bid he was approachable, on time, easy to work with and took great care in making sure he and his team were satisfied with the work that they accomplished for us. We highly recommend Brandon and his team. read more

Dream Green (DG) is a great landscaping contractor and I enjoyed working with the crew. As others have mentioned on this site, Brandon is a man of his word. Eventhough he is overloaded with jobs, he will not ignore you, nor your request. If Brandon says he's going to do something, he does it. He may need to shoehorn your request into his schedule, but he'll figure it out. DG may not be the cheapest option available, but I believe you get what you pay for in this space. I paid a premium over hiring anyone off the street with some gardnening experience, however, I received premium service in return. DG is fully insured, bonded, and offers a warranty for all of their work. I already had to use use the warranty, however, Brandon responded with a positive attitude. Brandon has honor and integrity. I have no qualms about rehiring DG for a future project. I look forward to doing so. read more

Brandon and his team did a great job remodeling our backyard. He was very quick in responding to our initial estimate request. He gave us good design ideas. He also gave us a detailed estimate with a reasonable cost. Brandon helped us look for an AC technician and an electrician to relocate our AC condenser to a location before we started remodeling our backyard. He followed-up with us frequently. After the start of the project, Brandon was very good communicating to us and responding to our questions. He was able to accommodate our additional requests and updates. He even added a lighting system, which was not in the original estimate, on his own cost. Brandon also took his time to go the local nursery to help us choose the plants for our planter. He was very knowledgeable with the different types of plants appropriate for our backyard. Overall, Brandon and his team delivered to us a beautiful backyard which we always wanted. They also did a good job cleaning up at the end of the day during the course of the project. In addition, they did a power wash of our drive way. We definitely recommend Brandon and his team for your next landscaping project. read more

Brandon Lodder, owner and contractor of Dream Green Landscape, completed our entire backyard. Brandon was very professional and personable from start to finish. His patience was such a valuable asset during the design and build process, as we tweaked and changed several materials and layouts. He went above and beyond to make us very happy and confident about the project. He had his guys working round the clock to finish project deadlines. He worked around our schedule when we had a pre-planned vacation and needed to take a week off. He's creative and open to new ideas and innovative ways to handle projects. He's very nice to his employees and they have a lot of respect for him in turn. Because of his field of expertise and experience of years in the business - he's quick to guide clients and meet deadlines with close attention to all the important details. We enjoyed his personality and his friendship during the process and hope to stay friends and give him endless referrals. Many thanks to his crew, we appreciated them all.

We decided this was the year to update our front yard. In February, we lost our 26-year-old tree due to the strong winds. We have in the past, replaced our sod in front, however, our front yard gets afternoon sun from noon to sunset. Therefore, we wanted a low maintenance yard, ground cover, drought resistant plants and scrubs that can handle the heat. Found Dream Green Landscape website. I like his picture gallery. Made an appointment with Brandon, I had two pictures one of ground cover and a bush I liked. Brandon, said that the ground cover and bush would work great for our yard. Brandon has a great knowledge of plants and landscaping. We like his plan for our yard, and his detailed, written proposal. Brandon's crew arrived on time each day. They worked hard each day, and then always cleaned up every single day before they left. Both Brandon and his crew were always polite. Brandon answer any question or concern that I had and addressed it fully. Phone calls and texts were returned promptly. Brandon was easy to work with. Brandon transformed our front yard from sod, 26-year-old bushes, to a wonderful landscape! They replace the sod with a ground cover of Dymondia (Silver carpet), boarded by drought resistant plants, succulents, flowery plants and mulch. Install new lights. Our house is on the corner, added a block rustic stone wall, not too high appx 24", that boarder the ground cover and plants, from the corner of our house to end of our property line. Added drip irrigation for the plants and new sprinklers for the ground cover. We have received lots of compliments from friends and neighbors. We couldn't be happier of our new beautiful landscape. I highly recommend Brandon and his team. Brandon is honest, hardworking and a pleasure to work with. read more

Whatever I say in this review will be an understatement because I am so pleased with the work done by Dream Green Landscape. We had to really start from scratch in this project, as the yard actually needed to be leveled in front and back, the patio and driveway demolished, as well as extensive fencing built and pavers put in the driveway and patio. The work was done on time and kept within budget. I was very impressed not only in the technical knowhow the project required, but also in the skill of the workmen. Brandon's input in terms of beautifying the yard showed a wonderful understanding of artistic design. Thank you Brandon for all you did and making the whole experience rewarding and pleasurable. Five stars isn't enough. I give you six. Sally Gessford read more

Deserving of 10 Stars!!! Brandon and his Dream Green crew were absolutely amazing!!! From our first meeting through completion of the project, he was the consummate professional! They removed grass, installed a drip irrigation system with a timer and planted drought tolerant plants and a tree. He was knowledgeable, efficient, timely, detailed oriented, cleaned up before leaving each day and in the end, left me with a front yard more beautiful than I ever imagined it could ever be. This was hands down the best experience I have ever had in the many years I have dealt with contractors from all over the country. read more

Totally unprofessional, gave him a few chances to reschedule our appointments, the last time when he was supposed to meet me in my house never showed up, never returned my text msgs, never called to at least give an excuse or apology.

Can't testify to Brandon's company or their work, only to the lack of professionalism in not showing up for an estimate. Can't say that I was impressed with his phone etiquette, so I'm not surprised that he flaked. It's incredibly frustrating when a company doesn't respect potential a client's time as much as this client respected his, by being here, waiting for him for over an hour past our eta window. read more

My husband and I recently used Brandon and Dream Green Landscape to landscape our daughter's town home, both the front and back yards. Brandon responded to our first phone immediately and every contact after that was timely. After meeting at the property, we arranged, with my daughter, to meet at the nursery. Brandon listened to her vision for the yard was knowledgeable and had great suggestions about which trees, shrubs, and flowers would work. He and his crew installed all new irrigation, a great paver patio, lighting and sod in addition to the trees, shrubs and flowers. Her yard looks so good! Highly recommend Brandon and Dream Green Landscape. read more

Stay away from this company!! Brandon appeared to be a reasonable guy at first, but once he took our money on the most recent job he did for us, he stopped all communication and left the job incomplete. As one small example his workers knowingly installed a broken light and I only found out when I saw it a few days later. Since the beginning of August, instead of coming back to fix and replace it, Brandon has ignored countless calls and texts. He has also posted photos of my house without my approval or authorization. He never even asked to take photos of my house. To his own admission, Brandon is not set up for anything other than large jobs. His sincere lack of effort to come back and fix a known problem speaks to both the quality of his work and his customer service skills. His workers threw rusty metal u-hooks in our grass (instead of throwing them away), which I had to pick out over several days so my dogs and young children didn't step on them. When that was brought to his attention, there wasn't any acknowledgment whatsoever. We had a large job for Brandon and his company but I absolutely cannot recommend him to others. There are much more reliable companies in the Conejo Valley. read more

We love our new outdoor space! And our neighbors and friends are so impressed. We've had so many compliments on the pavers and landscaping since Brandon's team finished the work a few months ago. They completely transformed our front, side, and back yards into a beautiful space that we can enjoy. They installed pavers, a new BBQ area with a granite countertop, a new fire pit area with seating around it, a new fountain, nice rock gardens throughout our yard with drip lines, and landscape lighting. They took the time to do it the right way and installed the proper drainage, which we appreciated. Brandon had great suggestions and was always open to our ideas as well. He was patient and spent a long time answering all of our questions about the plan. We got bids from other landscaping companies before talking to Brandon, but after meeting Brandon, we knew he was someone we could trust to do an excellent job for a fair price. Brandon was a pleasure to work with and his team was polite and worked very hard. We definitely recommend Dream Green! read more

Needed to redo my lawn and needed help, they came quickly to my rescue and developed a plan that will turn into a low maintenance lawn. Very knowledgeable, no pressure. Was quick to explain this will not happen over night and gave a realistic time time of when the lawn should meet my expectation. I have tried several other companies but was left with less than I wanted. Office staff, field tech all very friendly and respectful, no question has been to large or small for them to answer. Looking forward to a healthy lawn read more

Brandon and his team delivered a great job. From the first meeting, where Brandon provided an on the spot estimate, and all the way through to completion, there was clear and regular communication. Even when there were aesthetic changes I wanted to make, Brandon was ready to make them and make sure that I was a fully satisfied customer. We even had a very unfortunate material supply delay (completely out of Dream Green's control) that lasted several weeks. It was very unfortunate timing as it went past my wife's birthday and then past Halloween, but we knew there was nothing that could be done so we waited patiently. Brandon provides regular updates with the status of the material. Once it was in, they swooped in and finished it all up in a couple of days. I highly recommend Dream Green for your landscaping needs. read more
