Vertumni has been our landscaper for a year now. After buying our house we realized that our yard…read morewas way more maintenance than expected, plus there was a lot of deferred needs that were passed on by the seller. Vertumni gave our yard an intensive for a whole day, then they've been coming out monthly to help us stay on top of everything. Our yard looks amazing as a result of their skills and efforts. What o also sincerely appreciate is Vertumni's communication and note taking. If I put in a request, they log it, and I don't have to worry about a thing because I know they'll be on top of things during their next visit. I could not recommend them enough!

He was very straight-forward and clearly expressed the different options available to us, and we're extremely happy with the results of the option we chose. Not only was his design great, but the team executing the work was stellar. Now we have better erosion control, safer irrigation, and lots small boulders and PNW native plants and shrubs making up the slope. We couldn't be happier with Vertumni and highly recommend them.

Start to finish they were professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. We had three big pieces of our project that many people we met with would have had to contract out (demo of old concrete and fence and structures, building a poured concrete retaining wall and yard leveling, and building a new cedar slat fence), but Nancy and Dave handled everything and all the work turned out beautifully! Cannot wait for it to be spring and summer - we will be practically living in our new yard.

Called them and had them give a walkthrough and quote, they discovered a lot of usable and nice plants in the middle of all the blackberries and ivy, and what I love is the guy who quoted also worked the job so there was no miscommunication. They showed up both for the quote and the job at the specified time. They showed up with a massive crew, way more than I expected for the cost, and absolutely ravaged the invasive plants, ivy and blackberry while leaving all the struggling plants I liked safe. They also aerated, primed, seeded and raked sphagnum over the lawn in the fall so I'd have a good start on a real lawn (writing this now as spring comes, and it looks great). They did miss one little patch of stuff I wanted out, but that was mostly miscommunication, and they hit it a few days later when they were in the neighborhood. Super nice service.

I wanted to get my front yard redone. I wasn't looking for a huge landscaping redesign but wanted…read morethe existing turf to be replaced . There was the anti weed fabric and old mulch that wasn't doing the work which needed to go. The slope was uneven and despite all efforts weeds always took over. I met with a lot of companies, one being rainbow of magnolia which is a company in our neighborhood. Ernesto came over a couple of times to talk through the project with me and was available to communicate and answer all of my questions before I decided to go with them. the crew came everyday at 7 am and worked non stop until 4. They removed all the weeds, the fabric, evened the slope, got rid of the borders and rims around the roses and plants on the sides, installed an irrigation system and laid out sprinkler heads at various points to ensure newly laid sod ensuring coverage. They took out old stones that we had and replaced that with a proper walkway to go out to the sides. They did all this while checking in with us regularly and clarifying details. I was happy with the effort and the quality for the price I paid. The heat wave struck four days after and the sod took a beating and Ernesto came over took a look and committed to replacing the browned out patches for new ones after the heat settles down. We are also considering getting a bid from them for planting trees and shrubs which is a sperate effort from the work I described above. They have a dedicated person who does this sort of work.

For us they converted our terraced garden, a garden that we labored over for 5 years, into an awesome scene of incredible, gasping beauty. We look forward to viewing our garden each evening now.

They were responsive, understanding of our desires, totally respectful of our landscape, adding useful suggestions, and they completed our job efficiently (and economically). I feel so lucky to have selected them for our job. Great staff, great people!

They worked with our property throughout 2019 and 2020 and transformed our space into a gorgeous oasis - a place to sit and relax, a place to learn how to grow food, bees to enjoy, and a water feature to add not only ambiance but wildlife and ecosystems. They are experts at their craft, so kind, and incredibly hard working. They even added gorgeous detailed finishes in the patterned bricks and stonework in our patio spaces. I'm grateful for all they've taught us and all the work they've done. And continue to do as they help us maintain this beautiful space. Thank you so much John and your team - we LOVE our space.

John and his team are very nice people and know their plants well. That said, please do not get…read morethem to build you anything because this is what you end up with: we had a fence put in two years ago and please see the attached picture of what the fence looks like now. They used the cheapest wood imaginable, used nails that rusted when wet and didn't put a clear coat after building the fence. We had to get them to come back to put in support posts because the fence was so flimsy that it buckled and warped. They ended up charging us extra even for the support posts. In the two years since this fence was built, we had to reattached several boards, and fix a gate that was falling down. Just all around shoddy workmanship and they weren't cheap either. Always beware when the pictures in portfolio are from years before (the fences on their website are from when Scott and Ethan were the owners).

We worked with Gabe, Martin, Leo and Leah (among others) to completely remake our backyard. We…read morecouldn't be happier with the result! Gabe and Martin walked through before the start of the project to ensure they understood how to translate the plans into reality. Sage and Stone also worked with us on options to reduce the overall scope and budget, for instance suggesting we could lower costs a bit by doing some of the demolition and prep work ourselves (which we did). The project started on schedule and the team reliably showed up every single day for the next ten weeks. We had them remove and create a new retaining wall with Techo-Blocs, relocate a freestanding structure onto new footings, install pavers under the structure, and install a new composite deck. The team also leveled out and rebuilt a small path in the yard, evening out a slope and creating a more graceful grade by installing large 4' black granite steps. Everything was edged using Colmet to keep the lines clean and they even installed a freestanding outlet in the yard to bring power to the seating area. There were minor adjustments along the way and the team showed great attention to detail. For instance, the freestanding structure posts required a skirt to conceal the post brackets. These were hand scribed onsite and featured backcut cedar with an elegant slope, cleanly mitrered and sealed joints, and most importantly, sealed undersides to protect them from water damage. Small details like aligning paver joints with the natural lines in the steps or landing, finding materials to patch up areas of the house that were newly exposed by the updated deck profile, and concealing electrical lines were most appreciated. When the inevitable issues arose, Martin walked us through the situation and we quickly reached a suitable outcome that he effectively managed. I can't stress enough how hard everyone worked and that effort consistently carried to the end of the day until they cleaned up the jobsite. Tools were neatly arranged and materials were moved into inconspicuous places before the crew left everyday. The yard looks fantastic and we love spending time out there. We're extremely happy with their work and would love to work with them again! Highly recommended.

However, less than a year after the completing the work the top patio stones started shifting. The last row of paver have almost completely tilted into the bed next to it.

It took them over a month to take care of overgrown shrubs that were spilling into walkways and curbs, and overgrown trees that hugged the side of my building (I guess they don't believe in rot) and the kicker here is they are contracted to come every week. They ignored months of overgrown greenery around the property and after a month & a half of escalations, they finally came over and took care of it. They're also not upfront about the damages they've made & will only fix if you call them out on it. If their rates are competitive, think about what you're paying for. I heard they require a minimum of 48 weeks of service, which is pricey considering their lackluster capabilities and skills. However, if you want your place to look like a jungle & you want things done a month a half later, then definitely go with this business.
