Small yard? No worries, Brookside has your back!…read more If you buy new construction these days you can pretty much kiss that yard space goodbye. Finding ourselves in this situation, we needed a team that could transform our "cozy" yard into a comfortable yet elevated outdoor living space. Enter Brookside. You know that feeling when you hire someone to do a big home project and hope that everything goes well, but you kind of hold your breath in the event that something goes awry? That won't happen with Brookside. From our initial call to the thanks-for-everything completion hand shake, they didn't skip a beat. Everything went SO smooth and communication was on point the entire time. Brookside is a well oiled machine. The conversations between us, Brooks and Jenny, and the crew were fluid the entire time and no one was ever in the dark about the plan. On top of that, everyone was so personable and professional. These guys are hard workers and leave your space clean and organized at the end of every day. We were so happy with how our space turned out. Brookside took our basic ideas for hardscape and softscape to the next level and created a beautiful designer yard. We would hire Brookside again in a heartbeat- and you should too!

We have used multiple landscape designers and crews across projects over the years but Brookside…read morehas been by far the best overall experience. Outstanding design and communication throughout a complex project, and brought in professional crews that managed project on time and budget for implementation. Highly reccomend and thank you Brooks, Jenny, and the Brookside crew for completing our project with such attention and care.

Our in-person consultations and design confirmation schedule were very helpful from week to week. The work timeline was on schedule.

The whole team even took an old playhouse and redesigned it safely for our kids on the hill. Matt's design, attention to detail, and the time he took with our project was above and beyond. He answered every call and text quickly. I couldn't have asked for more. I've already recommended SD3D to all of my neighbors, and recommend them for small or large projects.

We feel like we're on vacation every day spending time in our backyard! Tristan designed and oversaw our project and he was a pleasure to work with and did a fantastic job. His design was way better than what we'd been thinking, it looks so good. He was always easy to get ahold of, was really patient with the various changes we kept making, and made sure that every detail was taken care of so that we were totally happy with the end result. I also really appreciated how he always suggested cost effective options to help us stick to our budget. And to top it all off, at the end they realized we'd overpaid by $1000 and sent us a check we hadn't even asked for or realized we were due! We highly recommend Modern Yardz; I don't write a lot of reviews but Tristan and his team did such a great job that they deserved a glowing review.

Steve is an absolute artist with color, texture, form, and overall design. He has an exceptional eye for combining different succulents in a way that feels balanced, unique, and more like living art.

If you are looking for a succulent or drought-tolerant landscape, I HIGHLY recommend Garden Rhythms.

Our new house had not had any landscaping done in years.

From start to finish Philip and his crew were a pleasure to work with. Philip's crew completely replaced the patio in the backyard with concrete and travertine tile. Also in the back yard, a new overhead shade structure was added. They also replaced the back fence and added new fencing along our property line in the front yard. A new walkway was added to the front and side yards and the driveway was replaced and widened. Then the plants were replaced in both the front and back yards. 3 months out the plants are absolutely thriving. The final touch was landscape lighting in both yards. Philip handled all of our permitting requirements and supervised the work flawlessly. This has been our best experience with a contractor ever.

Researching landscape architects took a good couple of months until we were blessed to connect with Team G7 Landscape Design and Build. We were very optimistic with what they presented online and were absolutely thrilled with our first of many in-person meetings with Philip Lizarraga, their Creative Team Leader. Philip became the bridge that merged our hopes for a wonderful and unique environment with a solid understanding of everything from design down to the foundation and through to completion. He spent many hours addressing why we wanted certain elements and then leading us in a direction that would be the perfect fit for our environment. Philip literally knew what we desired before we did! The time, dedication and care he took to understand our desires coupled with his lengthy knowledge of his industry was incomparable! The process with Team G7 went smoothly from start to finish. The Team was incredible! As individuals concerned with minimizing disruption to our neighbors I can say that Team G7 exceeded every request for consideration for our community from cleanliness to care regarding extraneous noise. Oscar was our Project Manager and the entire Construction Team was exceptional! They were at work every single day without fail. The communication with Team G7 started and remained unparalleled. To this day, weeks after completion, if we have a question they are very responsive at all times! We feel incredibly fortunate to have met Team G7 and to have collaborated with them on a unique landscape that will bring us joyful and fulfilling memories with our family and friends. We give Philip, and all Team G7, the highest recommendation for being an incredible Landscape Design and Build company dedicated to the highest standards of care, quality and client dedication! We are truly grateful to them for the amazing work they have done!
