From start…read moreto finish we were impressed with the communication, collaboration, and hard work from Johnny's design, to Isaac and his construction crew. We started the backyard journey by getting 15 bids from landscape construction companies. We had done plenty of home remodels and rebuilds, but never embarked on a backyard landscape project. Bon Terra impressed us immediately, as they were the only company that was up front with design ideas, costs, and time. Johnny was able to design a backyard that fit our aesthetic, and came up with many ideas we never thought of. He was able to make changes as needed, and was always open to work with our own ideas. We found Isaac and his construction crew to be personable, hard working, and punctual. They work four days per week, Tuesday through Friday, which worked great for us. We were appreciative that Isaac was able to roll with the punches when we had some unplanned issues pop up. We could get stressed out or impatient about the "snafus," but Isaac never did. Thank you! The pricing was fair for the quality of work by Bon Terra. I wish they took credit cards, but completely understand why they wouldn't! I have already recommended Bon Terra Landscapes to friends, and anyone asking for a referral.

They were on time and on budget, with excellent quality of work. When it came to plant choices, I was overwhelmed, and Martin came up with a beautiful planting plan. It was also his idea to use stone slabs for steps, which look like a work of art as they curve gracefully up our back hill. I was very impressed with his work ethic. We had a hot week and he had the crew show up a little early and take off before it got too hot. He would often personally step in and make things look better than envisioned. For example putting extra skirting around our new deck, power-washing some existing stonework, repairing a broken pre-existing step, and re-seeding places in the lawn that were trampled from the work traffic. We couldn't be happier with Martin and his team!

Working with them was a dream - extremely responsive, great ideas, collaborative with design and suggestions, and really kind to our kiddos who were curious throughout the process.

We worked with Kellie and the Integral Landscapes team to landscape our front and back yards. Both…read morewere primarily lawns that we'd let go during the drought. The irrigation system in the back had been destroyed by our puppy, and the front was a huge weed patch. Kellie and her colleagues took a lot of time to get to know us and our needs/hopes, which were: low maintenance; drought resistant/tolerant but not succulents; and dog friendly/durable. We shared photos of landscapes, trees, plants, and color palettes that we liked, and then Kellie worked her magic! She and her crew worked steadily, cleanly, and thoughtfully, and they communicated regularly throughout the process. Once everything was in, we opted to continue working with Kellie for monthly maintenance and really value the care and support that the team provides. Because of Integral Landscapes' good work, the team tends to be busy, and while we began our work with them in the summer/fall of 2018, they weren't able to begin working on our landscaping until early in 2019. But, once on site, we were a clear focus for them, and the work-- even with some rainy days-- was done quickly and well. In other words, it was absolutely worth the wait! We also had to navigate our budget a bit, and the team was thoughtful and supportive on that front. We opted to stretch our budget and the team was able scale back on a few things without compromising on the overall plan and vision. It was worth every penny. Kellie's professionalism, expertise, discerning eye and genuine care, the meticulousness and excellent planning of the whole team, Kellie's affection for our rambunctious dogs, and the team's clear and open communication has made Integral Landscapes an absolute pleasure to work with. We feel lucky to have found them and give them our most enthusiastic recommendation!

Plus he has a wonderful dog named Lady who is friendly and adorable.

I mentioned what I needed, and an estimated budget, and was told to wait for a followup. It took a while to get in touch, probably because of my network provider or that he had plenty other projects to attend to, but I was able to call him and luckily his crew in Novato, Rob, was already there and I was able to get the task done the same day. I emailed other services with no replies, left voicemails with no callbacks, and was even promised someone to come by and look, but didn't show up. I did leave a voicemail for Aaron to get back to me and when he did, the network decided to drop the call. It wasn't his fault, so I knew to call him when I had a more stable connection. Since he was the only one that responded, showed up, and gave a synopsis of the project, taking into mind my budget, I couldn't let it go. The day Rob and his crew came, it took under an hour to get the task done. He went over what Aaron recapped for him, and went it over again with me so we were on the same page. He asked more questions that were missed the first, like keeping some of fences or remove them. They cleaned up after themselves and put all the foilage in the bin for disposal. Friendly, efficient, and fast. I could see what they were doing and it was impressive to see the backyard mess go away. It was pretty difficult to contact garderners around here during this time, but with patience, and good reception, I'd recommend Sampson's Landscaping. I know I will when the place becomes a mess again.

I have Benjamin and Gustavo now, and they work hard, with a smile, and they carry a vision of what to do next.

They prune my collection of maples beautifully, not an easy thing to do! I am very passionate about my garden, but a recent knee surgery and back problems don't allow me to do most of the hard work myself. I worry not, this company is kind for my garden, for Mother Nature, and they are very easy to work with. The bill comes to me paperless, another bonus!

Took 3 days and the work was well done, efficient, friendly and respectful of the property. BUT, close to $7K dollars went to fixing an established irrigation system that was unusable. They left it unusable and continue to blame their inability to hook up the lines to the controller on another landscaper. while watering the acre with a 200 foot hose, I paid someone else to hook up the valves which he did in a couple of hours. lastly, we paid $1500 for them to design a section of the yard for a pool and decking etc. We waited a full month for that, and the only communication we got was by us initiating. They did though refund our $1500 design deposit when we complained. It didn't occur to them that our 26 year old controller needed replacing, when suggested they gave us a $1500 estimate. I did it myself in less than an hour. Do not hire them for your irrigation needs. I would not recommend them for your design needs. Recommend for tidying up and clearing brush.

(We were quoted 4-6 weeks for the project and I believe it took 4.) We love the results of our new backyard!

When we finally decided enough was enough we reached out to Darren. He was quick to respond and flexible in meeting with my husband and I after hours. Our property was mismatch of hardscapes, fruit trees and plants. We had a small deck, pavers, bricks and all kinds of different plants. Darren spent a lot of time working with us both on our vision and differing ideas. He was very flexible. His prices are very reasonable, especially for his availability and the high quality job he delivers. We had him design the front and backyards; incorporating a spacious deck, artificial turf, concrete stepping stones, horse troughs for veggies, a new drive way and courtyard and all new low water/ maintenance plants. He drew up a whole planting plan and gave us a lot of options along the way. He also incorporated some steel pieces that we've yet to order yet but plan to do next spring. Darren has always been available for a quick consultation on plant choices or to provide a recommendation or referral. Darren was always on time for our appointments, and most importantly, he delivered without disappointment. We've recommended him to at least 5 other people since he completed our job and we look forward to working with him again in the near future.

I really can't imagine there is anyone out there better at landscape design than Darren.
