Upon purchasing our home in La Jolla, we discovered the landscape and drainage needed significant updating as well as some replacement. Fortunately, Veronica and her team at Eco Design were ready to help with everything from planting to hardscape. Their designers and construction staff provided an initial plan and a phased approach to timely complete our new landscape for the entire property. Eco Design now provides us with regular maintenance, and we're very excited to see everything bloom this spring. Stay tuned! read more

EcoDesign did a terrific job listening to our concerns and executing work that addressed our key problems. Despite our having to limit the scope and not being able to take on a hoped-for extensive project at the moment, they were enthusiastic, professional and the work was done in a timely manner with excellent results. Veronica and her team are the best and we look forward to working with them again! read more

EcoDesign did a nice job on our front and backyard. Their staff is dedicated and do what it takes to please their clients. The landscapers who worked on our project did everything they could to do the job well. Their work ethic was A+. We highly recommend this company read more

We had a full backyard renovation - filling in a pool/jacuzzi, updating drainage & irrigation, and rework of hardscapes and lighting. EcoDesign SD was there to support us every step of the way, from design to material selection, and color schemes. I'm not great at making decisions, but they helped guide us and offered suggestions within our price range. As with any project, there will be additional costs along the way. Once you start digging, other issues arise that need to be addressed. We were always informed about these issues and we came up with solutions as a team. Change Orders were sent that had price breakdowns so it felt very transparent. We had several large change orders that consumed the majority of our surplus budget. Once we communicated that to the company, they offered suggestions to alternate materials and designs that would keep us within budget. Throughout the whole project, we were in a group chat on WhatsApp with the owner, office manager, lead designer, and lead construction. this was a great way to ensure that we were all on the same page and had quick access to ask questions or send photos. The guys on site every day were punctual, professional, respectful, and always cleaned up after themselves. It was almost like they were part of our family for a few months. EcoDesign will not be your lowest bidder, but what you are paying for is high quality work and excellent service. My backyard now looks like something from a magazine. We are genuinely SO happy with it. I have friends who did small yard projects with other contractors and they didn't get exactly what they wanted, leaving them less than 100% satisfied. We are 110% satisfied and we wouldn't change a thing about the project. That's because we were involved in every step, decision, and selection. EcoDesign blew us away and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a show-stopping project. read more

After a lot of searching and meetings with potential landscape designers we finally found the one for us! Veronica, Ashley and the team have been fantastic and very accommodating during the entire renovation process. The CAD rendering really helped us to hone in on our final layout. Trust me, it is well worth the deposit to move forward with the CAD! During one of our initial site walks Veronica said the team would be dedicated our project, Monday - Friday (some Saturdays), and they were! This kept the project on time. The build team was kind, courteous and cleaned up the job site daily! They were knowledgeable about our project and reviewed our plans every couple weeks with Ashley to make sure we were on track. Our outdoor space has been totally transformed! We had a great experience and would highly recommend using their services. read more

Nice first impression but once hired, the employees are so rude! Especially the foreman.

This is the second time we've worked with Eco Design. Veronica and her team Jorge, Ashley and Isabel are truly wonderful and care about doing things correctly. We have a large support wall that holds up our yard from the canyon below it. The wall, originally put in by another landscape design company, was failing so we had to have it completely redone. Jorge and his prompt, respectful, kind crew meticulously took everything apart and put it back together better than ever. This included putting irrigation into the wall and making sure it drains correctly. We also had them repair a cracked stucco wall and refresh the yard with several new plants. Going forward, I will only use EcoDeign for my yard projects and I highly recommend them. read more

We did a complete backyard and front remodel adding fire pits, green walls, and a water feature. The planting is xeriscape--all beautifully done. It was a major project included replacing fences, a new patio, a rooftop remodel. It took quite a bit of time, but we are thrilled with the result and now have a yard we use. Vero is a consummate professional. She listened to our wishes and worked with us to realize them. She was a pleasure to work with. Her team is amazing! Hernan and his crew always kept us informed about when they would arrive and how long they would be at the house. Izzy designed and created lovely mosaics for the fire pits and the water feature. I recommend EcoDesignSD without any reservations. read more

Veronica designed the perfect retaining wall and landscaping to give my front yard the curb appeal it needed! Jorge was foreman on my project and I found him and his crew to be prompt, professional and kind every single day. I truly enjoyed seeing them everyday and loved the end result. read more

TLDR: Broke my hose, won't replace it Would you want to do business with these people? Ecodesign workers were carrying heavy buckets of water up and down the stairs. Like a good neighbor, I offered to let them use my hose. Nice, right? They broke my hose. I asked them to replace it. Normal, right? They sent me a nasty email about how they had to schedule a meeting, would have to make sure others were present, and then would charge me for their time. They broke the hose at the joint. It has 10 settings for the nozzle. Nine of those 10 no longer work, including the shower one I use most often. Just replace it. That's all. Update: A few hours after I wrote this review, I got a call from EcodesignSD. She said she saw my review and she had already ordered a hose for me, but hadn't gotten back to me yet. I sent her an email about it May 13. I posted this review after receiving the nasty text on May 24. Today she delivered the replacement hose. read more

I had a wonderful experience with EcoDesignSD. The team was very professional, responsive, flexible, and helpful. My yard looks great!. They are very talented and I highly recommend them! read more

Top notch work at a reasonable price. EcoDesign completely transformed our outdoor areas into peaceful zones of beauty and tranquility. We get many compliments on our landscaping and pergolas. They basically do it all. Jorge was such a pleasure to work with in the field and our son still talks about him. Veronica and Ashley are pros. A couple small issues with invoicing, not uncommon on a larger job like ours, but were sorted out fairly easily. Definitely recommend the EcoDesign SD team. read more

I can't be more grateful to EcoDesignSD for making our crumbling retaining wall and fence disappear--and to rebuild them both so beautifully! After years of agonizing what to do, Jorge and his amazing team created a masterpiece of block-work and fencing. True artisans. Veronica and Ashley even coordinated schedules with our neighbors for a smooth resolution. The little details and professionalism are next level. read more

Veronica managed a set of renovations at our house that included designing the project, renovation, and some beautiful tile work. Their crew was very professional, always showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves, and were overall pleasant to have around. We will hire them again for sure when the need arises. read more

Highly recommend this local PB business! EcoDesigns did an incredible transformation of our front yard. They were so professional to work with from the beginning consultations through the final touches. Veronica and the team meticulously partnered with us to build a plan that met our budget and design needs and the final outcome far exceeded our expectations. The crew was highly professional, on time, transparent, and kept a clean job site. We get many compliments from neighbors and always highly recommend EcoDesign for jobs big, small and everything in between. We would definitely hire them again! read more

They did a complete remodel on our driveway and frontyard and built a beautiful corrugated aluminum fence with wood trim. It looks amazing. We have a more modern updated look now and all the neighbors love it as well. I highly recommend them. They have wonderful ideas and stand behind their work. Thank you so much Veronica and team! read more

Vero and her team did a wonderful job on our little patio. She picked out the pavers and the artificial turf and we love her selections. The team showed up on time and got the job done in a timely manner. Her pricing was excellent and we received great customer service. I'm really happy with the way our patio turned out. Thanks Vero! read more

We are absolutely thrilled with our new entry gate! EcoDesign was easy to work with and very attentive. My husband and I received 3 quotes from different companies after the initial consultation because our project was small no one ever followed up. Eco actually called and then texted me to keep an easy open line of communication which was easier for both me and my husband as we work full time. Hernan and Andres were both excellent and I cannot recommend this company more! We will be using them for bigger projects in the near future! Thank you EcoDesignSD! read more

There policy is to charge $500 for design services if you follow thru and have the company build the $500 is deducted from the final build. After two visits to our home we met with them and were given a two page cad drawing one of which was an elevation drawing. The design consisted of a lucite roof using our current pergola supports, a concrete wall with two sides of a planter and that was it. The estimate was 85k we took the plan and left we never called and never heard from EcoDesignSD. read more

Veronica and her team helped us get our outdoor space back into shape. They did high quality work, on time and on budget! Highly recommended. read more

Update: Veronica is a very talented landscape designer. She listens to what you want and is able to add her expertise and creative talent to create a beautiful design. Her crew is so professional and thorough. They were always on time and very friendly and respectful. We were really impressed with their work ethic and ability to completely transform our backyard. It has been years now, and besides the regular wear and tear, our yard is still impeccable. Her overall plant design was perfect, and a majority of them are still living today. I continually recommend Veronica and Ecodesignsd to my friends. read more

We have had several projects with contractors at our home and our experience with EcoDesign SD was the best by far! EcoDesign did a full landscape design, installed plants, irrigation, and a redwood pergola for our front and back yards Veronica is a communicative and professional business owner. She led the design process from start to finish and really listened to my preferences to create a design we were both excited about. The installation crew was outstanding. Our foreman, Jorge, communicated with me throughout the whole process and pointed out things that we might want to consider changing from the original design. The team worked hard Monday through Saturday, rain or shine, and was always respectful of our space. They cleaned up every evening. To say the team is meticulous is an understatement: I've never seen a landscape team so precise in their work. Even the weed barrier, which was later covered up by mulch, was installed with care. When it came time to buy the plants, Veronica called me to discuss several suggestions for changes from the original design. Some of our original choices were not available or did not look healthy at the nursery, so we swapped them for something better. I love all the changes we made and I appreciated being included in those decisions. We've had dozens of neighbors tell us how wonderful our yard looks.We are already looking forward to working with EcoDesign again on another project! read more

It was a pleasure working with Veronica and her team or our landscaping project. She is very patient and willing to work with our budget. We spent a long time perfecting the plans prior to 'construction', and it paid off. My husband and I are impressed with her construction crew (Jorge). They are extremely professional; working every day from 7am-3pm. We were finished almost two weeks earlier than anticipated? We have neighbors consistently stopping by to admire the finished project. Thank you! read more

We had lived with a so-so bland yard for 8 years before EcoDesignSD transformed our shrubby scrubby front yard, side and back yards into delightful, colorful, low water gardens with a tremendous variety of plants, succulents and trees. My only regret is that we didn't do this sooner! EcoDesignSD's team made great recommendations for how to personalize our outdoor spaces so that we got more use and enjoyment out of them. We created outdoor rooms in some places (for example, we changed a no longer used trampoline area into an outdoor space with a small kidney shaped area of artificial turf surrounded by a low water garden. We added chairs, a hanging chair and an umbrella and a fountain in the garden and now enjoy it almost daily). In a boring side yard, they built for us a custom French door pergola over a fountain; in the front, they swapped out our "freeway shrubbery" for a dry river bed surrounded by low water plants, roses and an acacia tree. In another side yard, we created a growing garden by adding two custom knee-high garden boxes and a delightful DG pathway, and added succulent envelopes to our fence to brighten it up. In addition, they replaced the entire sprinkler system with drip irrigation, added new landscape and uplighting and installed overhead lights. It was an investment we are so glad we made and we now use and live in our yard and derive great pleasure from it. Veronica is a smart and talented designer and her team, led by Jorge, is amongst the hardest working and most detailed crews I've encountered from the many we've had do work at our home. Not long after the yard transformation, which we have also added to with personal creations including hanging succulent pallets and such, we were chosen to be in the La Jolla Secret Garden Tour, which was an amazing experience. In sum, EcoDesignSD transformed a boring garden into a beautiful and personalized outdoor living space. We absolutely love our yard now and spend as much time out there as we can. We were very happy with the company and happy to support a woman-owned, local business. We have also used EcoDesignSD's maintenance service, which I highly recommend, to keep everything looking nice. Mario is excellent. read more

Veronica and her crew did a fabulous job on our front yard and courtyard. They were on time, were courteous, and cleaned up the job site at the end of the day. They took great pains to check in with me to make sure that the job was done to my satisfaction. We now enjoy a beautiful courtyard complete with a fountain and a front yard full of succulents and drought tolerant plants. I receive many compliments on the yard from walkers who pass our house. I would highly recommend EcoDesignSD for a project. read more

Veronica and her team did a great job with terracing, retaining wall construction, building us a new deck and plantings design/installation. No short cuts, everything done the way it should be done for the long term. We've had many comments from our neighbors on how nice things look, as well as how respectful EcoDesignSD was of the neighborhood during the work. read more

Veronica and her awesome crew designed and landscaped our front yard with cactus, succulents, low wanter plants, drip irrigation, a rock swale and lighting. The crew showed up everyday on time, cleaned up each day, and completed the job on time. EcoDesignSD was very easy to work with and we are so happy with the end result. It is absolutely beautiful. We are constantly having complete strangers stop and tell us how much they like the landscaping. Who knew how much enjoyment EcoDesignSD's work and design would be appreciated by not only us but also our neighbors and others. I highly recommend Veronica and her EcoDesignSD crew. read more

I wish I could say I had a great experience as others have. The scheduling for my cement wall took forever!!! They were suppose to do it back in October of 2015 and was not done until February 2016. The owner was out of town and it was very difficult to get a hold of. I kept getting text messages and emails from different employees about a check. I had cut a check but apparently there are some communication issues. I had also provided the owner with my neighbors contact info as they were paying 1/2 of the cost. Must have sent at least 5 emails and owner kept saying she did not have the information. read more

Veronica and her team were amazing. We did a big landscape renovation in our courtyard, so we had an HOA budget that Veronica was very aware of and very helpful to stay under! Our landscape and courtyard look beautiful, it's a whole different place to come home to. The whole team was quick, hard working, and very efficient. Veronica was quick to respond to questions we had, and keep things within the budget. I would work with her again in the future. Laura, one of her assistants, was awesome and very on top of things. They all were very professional and I'm so happy with all of the work. read more

This is a very professionally run landscape company. Veronica takes time at the beginning of the project to listen to your wants and needs. She provides great ideas to complete your project with a professional look. You are valued as a customer. Once you sign your contracts you are given full service until your project is complete. The quality of the work is excellent, our yard is beautiful thanks to EcoDesignSD! Kathy P. read more

Veronica and her team did a fantastic job designing my yard. They took a seemingly impossible task and made it gorgeous! My ugly brown hill is now our backyard oasis. She used all drought tolerant plants which is so important now! Thanks Veronica! read more

Very pleased with the design, it looks great. The crew was very professional & completed the project in one week (approx 1600 sf.) Would recommend to others. read more

Veronica and her team did an exceptional job of meeting budget, time, and drought resistant features we wanted at my previous residence. The plants look great, and Veronica and her team were extremely pleasant to work with. read more

I am a realtor and have referred Ecodesign SD to several of my clients. I have seen their work in commercial settings as well as residential. The company is always very professional and puts out a fantastic product. This company can do anything from hardscape, softscape, to water features and exotic living walls...really fantastic. I highly recommend this company -you wont be disappointed! read more

Veronica was great to work with. Our yard was made up of weeds and red bark, we needed someone creative, with a lot of patience. The design she created was perfect. I wanted a meditation garden and it is so wonderful. Her hardscape team did an amazing job. When we are ready to start phase two we will definitely use EcoDesign. read more

The EcoDesignSD team completely renovated our front and back yards, and we could not be happier with the results. Veronica and Ashley worked with us on a design that was within our budget and met our wants and needs. Jorge and his crew are a lovely group to have around your home for a major project. They were on time, courteous, polite and cleaned up after themselves every day. The last day of the job, they left the yard and surrounding areas looking better than ever. We are so happy with the look of our home, and would work with the team again in a heartbeat. read more

I met Veronica a few years ago at a landscaper and designers gathering at KRC Rock and Boulder Supply. She explained that she was new to the area and was reaching out to suppliers and other landscapers. I liked her right from the start. Her cheeriness and good attitude are clear as soon as you meet her. From chatting that evening, I could tell she was very knowledgeable and as we discussed projects I could also tell she had some great design ideas. I mentioned to her that I often had calls for projects we were unable to take on because we were too busy or just simply they were outside of our work area. I asked her if she would be willing to take referrals for such work. The only thing I asked was that she treat the referrals honestly as I did not want any one calling me back with complaints. Well, I started getting calls back, but all without fail, thanking me for referring Veronica to them. I have referred her design work as well as complete landscape projects. The other day I finally had a chance to visit a project Veronica had recently completed and I was very impressed at the quality of her work. I have 30 years experience in the construction and landscape industry and It is clear to me she is someone I can continue to refer; not that I ever had a doubt!! :-)) read more

Veronica and her team were recommended to us and we just completed a full front and back yard landscaping including building a trellis to help create additional privacy. I am so impressed with the team and their incredible sense of design. In this area of drought many neighbors are ditching their lawns and revamping their landscaping but, I can say unequivocally, Veronica's training in design and architecture and her team's knowledge of plants (we worked with Ashley), our yard is distinctive both in the diversity of plants chosen and the design of their placement with the balance of rocks and boulders: we have had nothing but complements from all of our neighbors. What I also loved was their willingness to listen to what was important to us; we really wanted to attract birds and butterflies. They took the information I had, read it carefully, and made sure that the plants they chose met our needs and were drought tolerant, an area they are knowledgeable and passionate about. I also appreciated our ability to support a family run and woman led company. I wanted to to also say that they concentrate on quality and because they are a small operation, which is the attraction for me, it is important to understand they are not producing cookie cutter designs and work and I appreciate the extra time and effort. We worked with Hermann who also was easy to communicate with and who did a wonderful job on the planting, setting up the drip system and electrical work; we had to build an electrical outlet in an area far away from our existing source of electricity. Veronica always informed us about the work plan and they even accommodated our request to begin the work a little earlier despite a heavy work load. The also finished on time often working past their designated hours to do so. I have no reservations about recommending them to folks who want a "special" and enviable landscape! I also concur with the reviewer that the costs were very reasonable. read more

We recently had our deck replaced by EcoDesignSD and they did a fantastic job. They job foreman was wonderful to work with, they were very respectful to our property and always available to answer any questions we had. Veronica and her team of professionals were easy to work with and very knowledgeable in the industry. I would highly recommend EcoDesignSD (Veronica Boyer) for any replacement or redesign of your outside area. read more
