We met with Lund landscaper Taylor Hawkins to discuss options. He came back with a really great preliminary design that matched all our wants and needs. We suggested a small change and he finalized a really great design. Since we already had a stone terrace and wanted to optimize the budget, we chose to match our existing look and Taylor's design addressed all our needs: Most important to us, improved drainage and gravel instead of grass; a continuous paved patio where the raised deck once stood, giving us a more useable, flat surface all the way to the terrace steps, and finally, plantings that enhanced our existing landscape, an upgrade to the sprinkler system and bonuses like a seat wall to expand the use of the patio for guests. Lund even took existing pavers that were removed from the old build and used them to create a circular patio in an area that had been useless before. Lund's talented team were on time, every day, all day. We had one or two weather delays, but if it wasn't pouring, they were there working. If one part couldn't be done due to rain, they moved to something else they could do under shelter. It was like that with every part of the project. Taylor provided guidance, Raphael was an amazing craftsman who installed the pavers with the most amazingly accurate drainage (including additional drainage and water for our potted patio roses), new circular patio and retaining wall. Likewise, Martine built the most beautiful steps for us and finished up the seat wall, Manuel handled the dig out, drainage and gravel work, Angel ordered the plant material and marshalled the guys who planted everything (they were fantastic), and he and Rodrigo also handled the sprinkler system to all the existing plantings and left extra nodes available for future plants. If anyone was left out, please forgive, because the entire workforce were all professional, understanding, and always ready to assist and make a change if necessary. You can't do a project where you dig up your yard and not find the unexpected. Lund was very responsive and immediately addressed any issue, found a resolution, and it was done, usually within a day or two at most. We received everything we paid for, and more. We are currently enjoying the fruits of their labor! We would definitely use Lund Landscaping again and, in fact, we have already received a future quote for some changes we are contemplating on our fountain. Thank you again, Lund Landscaping, for your great work! Because of you, our family's Easter celebration was so inviting, they didn't want to go home!

Las Palmas wasn't the least expensive of the three, but we felt very comfortable with Erik and his expertise at our initial meeting. He and his crew know what they're doing, make suggestions for better functionality, are flexible and easy-going, and to top it off are really nice people. We had a very specific, custom curved bench built by them and it was completed beyond our expectations. With any project during the pandemic, there were a couple hiccups/delays due to supply chain issues, but from start to finish the project took 2-1/2 months and we couldn't be happier. We love our backyard and will use Las Palmas for our future front yard project.

Several years back, my lawn was removed and replaced with a nice-looking rock wall plant garden…read more When I met with Blair, I told him I wanted a garden that was as low-maintenance as possible. I was tired of weeding and spending days gardening. At first, the job looked great. However, when the next spring rolled around, I had grass and weeds coming up EVERYWHERE. I called and complained. Blair came out and met with me. He said no when I asked if he put a weed guard down before the mulch. Blair said he disapproves of weedguard "as it's not good for the environment." I then reminded him that I had said I wanted a maintenance-free yard, and this certainly did not meet that goal. Blair offered nothing to mediate the issue and had an "oh well, sorry" attitude. His only solution was to provide me with his monthly maintenance service (at a regular price), which I flatly rejected! Sorry, Blair, you're not getting a monthly stipend for incorrectly doing the job. I don't need to be a landscaping expert to know that if you dig up a lawn and then throw mulch on top, the grass seeds are sure to germinate and come through. Since installing my "maintenance-free" yard, I have been out there several times a year, having to pull grass and weeds out of the site--exactly what I didn't want to do. Blair does the work however he wants, not how the customer wants it done. Following the installation, I kept getting email requests from the company asking me to review them. I told them to stop sending me requests because the review would not be good. I also instructed them to remove the photos of my yard from their site, which they did. This review would never have come around, except that I noticed the other day, while searching for a gardener to clean up this year's mess, that my photos are back on the site, unauthorized. Take them down!! Again, Blair does what appears to be a nice job in the beginning. However, the customer's desires fall on deaf ears. Had I known how he felt about Weedguard, I would never have hired him. The outcome would have been very obvious had he told me. That, combined with the fact that no remediation was offered, shows what kind of company this is.

I'm soooo glad we did! We found Chot Nguyen, sole owner & operator, on Craigslist and called him for an estimate. We were looking for someone to do general clean-up and fall pruning/beefing up of our back yard (assorted grasses, more than a dozen roses bushes and four fruit trees) which we'd neglected for at least the past 9 months. We also needed to re-do our front "yard" - and I use that word loosely since we are in the SF Sunset district, where the front is really only three strips of plantable area - and give it some curb appeal. Chot came out to do the estimate and it was clear he knew his stuff. He gave us a written estimate right then and there, detailing the work, the number of new plants and the drip irrigation work we wanted. The prices were totally reasonable so we signed right then and there and gave a deposit. (I also loved that he followed state law and didn't ask for more than 10% or $1000, whichever is LESS) He started a couple of days later, and with the help of his son (love the family business aspect) was done in two days!! TWO days! Amazing! He selected the exact kinds & colors of plants and river rock we'd envisioned, did a great job with the drip system, and was very respectful of our property. He cleaned everything up when he was done, and hauled away all the debris. As if that wasn't good enough - he called us the next day to say he was worried he had missed one spigot on the drip system in the back yard and asked if he could come back to check on it! Unbelievable. He came back, checked it, tweaked it, and did another double-check of everything. He's definitely a pro and a perfectionist. I would recommend him to anybody. This has been one of our best experiences with a contractor!

We call several landscapers and Chot is the only one that gave us a quick quote (on the same day). We felt his quote was fair and we also feel comfortable talking with him so we decided to go with him. They demolished the old retaining wall and build a new beautiful retaining wall. He also resurface the old concrete and make it like new. He also helped us chose the right trees and flowers and help plant those trees. He and his son Bill were working hard on our backyard to make it beautiful. They also help us with the front yard by planting the flowers and setting up the sprinkler system. If you are looking for someone to help you with your front and back yard projects, do not hesitate to give them a call. You won't be disappointed.

They also carved out a lovely hillside with custom stairs, a spacious terrace, and game trails perfect for enjoying the view. LEI works with YesPlease.Garden (YPG) who managed the design process and Fresh Coat Restoration who completed the new fence. The partnerships were well integrated and it felt like working with a single team. See my Google Maps review for more on YPG. We are very happy with our project and would recommend LEI because they were professional, courteous, reliable, and provided clear and upfront pricing. Documenting decisions in writing proved helpful for keeping everyone on the same page. Any problems we had were resolved fairly, such as correcting the direction of our stairs. Aaron is a man of his word but prefers to conduct most of his business through texting. We first contacted LEI and they promptly scheduled a time to visit our property with YPG to see what was possible within the budget we set out. We completed the design with YPG and LEI scheduled a time for the project demolition. A later approximate time for planting was set, but that was dependent on the availability of the various plants we had selected. Everything scoped in the design was completed within the budget and any add-ons we later requested were priced separately and fairly.

My wife and I are in love with our yard again, and we are very happy with the work Aaron and his…read morecrew did. After deciding to remove our pool, we hired Aaron as the installer for our new landscape project, and we are so glad we did. For months, work was moving forward almost every day, from demolition prep and grading to hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, fencing, pergola installation, pebble work, and the finishing touches. The quality of the work was excellent throughout. The paver patio, carport, and front entry all turned out beautifully, and the plants, irrigation, and lighting were installed with great care. We were especially impressed by the rock and pebble work, particularly the dry creek and front mow strip. The mix of stone sizes gave everything a natural, detailed, and polished look that really elevated the final result. Aaron also has a strong eye for detail. He regularly caught things that needed adjustment, even when we had not noticed them ourselves, and he stayed focused on getting everything right. While there were some issues that delayed finishing the project, Aaron took responsibility and worked with us to make them right, which we truly appreciated. In the end, what matters most is that we are thrilled with the outcome. Our yard feels beautiful, welcoming, and complete, and we look forward to years of enjoying it.

We just wrapped up a huge overhaul of our backyard with Jeff and Courtney from TriValley…read moreLandscaping and we truly could not be happier. We originally called Jeff to talk about fixing our drainage issues - our yard would flood every time it rained, and pool near the patio and foundation. Jeff was so thorough and explained where all our pain points were and how we could most effectively fix them. We decided to install French drains and pumps on both sides of the house to get water moving the right direction. Once we started digging, Jeff and his team realized we could make the drainage work without pumps by grading the yard differently - saving us tons of money! Naturally, we got excited and decided to increase the scope of work to include more landscaping, a few footpaths, small seating area, a bunch of sod for a new lawn, irrigation and a ton of new plants and trees. Jeff and Courtney checked in with us about budget throughout the whole project, making sure to send us new estimates when I got excited about adding something else to the revamp. The team onsite were great - personable, on time, respectful, and they also seemed to really enjoy working with each other, which we felt was a good sign. I absolutely adore my new outdoor space and we anticipate enjoying it with our family for many years to come. If we ever need more work done, I'm calling TriValley!
