    Incredibly designed!
    Shannon H.

    Hands down, THE BEST landscape designers!! I don't even know where to begin. It's landscape designers such as Alan and his team that make the world a more beautiful place! I had been wanting a pathway built leading from our front door to the sidewalk for a good couple years now. We were originally planning on using the landscapers that designed our backyard a couple years back, however, after having a less than favorable experience with them when they came back to do our side yard and our front yard last year, we decided to look elsewhere. After finding Alan 's landscaping company on yelp, and being so impressed with the reviews and pictures of his landscaping work he's done throughout the bay area, I decided I would bookmark him to have him come out to do a quote in the future. Fast forward to the future, I set up an appointment for Alan to come out to give us a design and quote. Alan was extremely personable and friendly from the beginning. I gave him my ideas and vision of what I wanted. Alan took my vision along with his experience and skills and designed and executed something far better than I could ever have dreamed or envisioned. Alan and his extremely talented crew, completely revamped our entire front yard and elevated it to an absolutely breathtakingly beautiful landscaped front yard. Alan 's crew paid so much attention to detail and design and did a thorough outstanding job from beginning to end. I feel so incredibly thankful that I found Green Planet Landscaping. Thanks to Alan and his team, we get to enjoy this breathtakingly beautiful landscaped front yard for years to come. And there is absolutely no other landscape designer we will be using other than Alan and his team for all future projects!! Thank you for bringing this front yard to life!

    Great response and did a great job. Days turn around. Love the work and team work. Wow what difference!!! Thank you!!!!!

    They did the turf section and the concrete with the joints

    They truly go above and beyond for their customers,we can't wait to use them for more projects in the future, 10/10 would recommend

    Alan had landscaped a couple of our neighbor's front yards and we liked what he did. We had a quote from another company but Alan made a better impression on us with his knowledge of materials and plants. It didn't hurt that his quote was much more reasonable as well. With the initial drawing, there were a couple of things we didn't care for and asked to make changes. Alan was very accommodating and did so without any pushback or protests. They stated the job on a Monday and we're 90% finished on Saturday! The turf was delayed but when it was delivered, the crew came out and finished up that day. In comparison, our backyard took about 10 weeks to complete. Angel manages the crew but does much of the actual work himself. He has an eye as to how to place features, like the boulders and mounds to make the yard more interesting. Like Alan, he was very accommodating when we asked to move a couple of the lights and a boulder. We are very happy with the finished project! When the job was complete, Alan came and walked us through the yard, telling us what to expect from each plant and how to take care of them, again demonstrating his knowledge of what he's working with.

    Green Planet did an excellent job with our turf project. The men who installed it were very professional, kept everything clean and did it in two days. Watersavers doesn't use crumb rubber like some other brands. This is the one that is good for the sake of the environment and safe for kids and pets. We really like the results. Alan helped design our yard and we appreciated his expertise and advice we needed.

    Bushes planted around the patio!
    Stephen T.

    After living in our new home for 5 years, it was time to landscape the backyard. It was something I had attempted to do myself, starting a project but abandoning it a few months later. It didn't help that many "fly by night" contractors were trying to push their companies when we first moved in and were burned by two different individuals. However, I felt time it was time to install landscaping in the front and back yards. I had reached out to a few different local landscaping companies, one that came via recommendation and others, like Green Planet I found online and found favorable after reading reviews. While I wasn't completely sure what I wanted, I used previous estimates when Alan stopped by to draw up plans and his estimate. In the backyard, I wanted to fill in the remaining dirt with a patio and walkway that would run the length of a 12'x'16' cage and to provide a 2-foot border off the fence to add shrubbery around the patio. The front yard had been devoid of plants for about 3 years, the poor landscaping put in by the developer had not been properly set up on the irrigation timer and the bark had long since faded. I removed all the bushes and trees in the front yard to help save on the overall cost. This was something I could do, even if it took me a bit longer. In place, I wanted to go with a xeriscape, all 3/4" Lodi or Lodi Cobble, with a few assorted, drought tolerant plants and some large (200 lb.) boulders. While I had removed much of the drip irrigation lines, the main feed point was still intact. Alan's estimate was favorable, when compared to a few of the others I had received. After looking over finances, we texted and emailed a few times and I had changed my initial plans. I asked Alan if he still wanted the job, but only for the backyard. While his price was more than competitive, I looked at what I wanted done in the front yard and figured it was something I could not, although not as quickly as a landscape company could. Alan accepted and we agreed on the price for the backyard. I probably should of asked a few more questions when it came to the paver patio. One of the previous landscape companies noted they were going to dig down 4 inches and build the paver patio up. The first day work started I came home to see a few inches of sub-base and Green Plant laying pavers on top. While it wasn't what I expected to see, the final project looks great! There were a few other issues along the way. First, they reused the 1/2" bender board, which wasn't straight! I left a message for Alan, along with images and he responded saying they would remove the bender board and replace with pressure treated 2"x4" pieces of wood. Much like the final project, this border looked great and it was straight. While I thought Alan and I were on the same page when it came to the walkway, one of my raised planter boxes didn't line up with the cage and tile ended up being placed in and around the side of the box, locking it in place, which will make it very difficult to upgrade or replace in the coming year. I had sent a picture to make sure the walkway was going to be a constant width, but got something different. In hindsight, it's a minor issue but the end result does look good. The last issue came the day he asked for the second (of two) installments for payment. I asked when the bushes were going to be planted and was told we had not agreed to that for the backyard. Thankfully I had the initial contract that was drawn up and sent it to him. Without question or hesitation, he order 10 plants and had his crew there in a few days digging holes and planting the greenery. All in all, I am very happy with the work that was done to upgrade the backyard. While there were issues, I feel I did get what I paid for and it really does complement the house and provide an area to relax in.

    Digging trenches for new pipe.
    Nick P.

    During the recent rainstorms we found ourselves in a very difficult situation. We had just moved into our new home and were just settling in after a tough move. At first, we noticed the underground drains we are running slow but after the rain picked up our backyard began flooding so badly that I had to dig a big hole and install a large sump pump to keep water from entering our home. After furthur investigation I found the 3 inch drains completely full of tree roots. I tried calling several other companies for help and couldn't find anyone willing to do the job. I spoke with Allan and he said he had just the guys for this type of work. He put together a quote for us and upon our approval sent Angel and his crew over the very next day. Buy the second day all trenching was done through our grass by hand and new piping and drains installed. On top of that. the sod was carefully placed back over the trenches and everything cleaned up so well one could hardly tell the whole yard had been totally dug up. Had working honest men with pride in their work!

    I contacted Alan with Green Planet landscape regarding my yard which required dirt removal (tons), adding concrete, drains, and a new retaining wall. I took my time and obtained a lot of estimates since this was a big job. Out of the 12-15 estimates Alan was the most competitive price. Alan also had the best reviews and best customer satisfaction. I am very OCD and knew I wanted someone who could work with me to make sure all my needs were met. Alan was responsive and reliable during the process. Alan answered all my questions in a timely manner. I was very pleased with the hard working individuals who worked on my yard and Alan. I went from having a small yard to now having a moderate sized yard for my kids to play in and to hold family events. Alan even fixed some concrete issues a previous company created years ago on previous concrete. Alan is a man of integrity and places the customer first. I am very happy and highly recommend Alan and Green Planet Landscape. Take a look at the before and after photos of the great work they completed.

    Alan and his crew did an incredible job with converting my ugly useless backyard into a beautiful extension to my home with my new pavers patio! From start to finish Alan worked well with me from designing the patio, preparing my application for my HOA to addressing any concerns or questions I had along the way... my neighbors are jealous because I now have the most beautiful backyard!!! Thank you Alan and your crew for a job well done!!! I highly recommend Green Planet! A++ Oh, quick note...they were totally compliant with all COVID policies and wearing masks..

    before

    Great experience from start to finish. Alan is very responsive and great to work with. Requested a quote through Yelp and received a callback the next day. I was able to schedule a consultation the same week. We started with a dirt yard and wanted a simple design that included a concrete patio, concrete paver walkway (Alan helped us decide on the paver design), grass, rock, and bark; we will be adding plants later ourselves (he provided great suggestions for plants as well). The quote was reasonable and we liked our rapport with Alan so we we decided to move forward with him. Alan said we were about 4-6 weeks to start our project, and it turned out to be about 4 weeks later that we received a call from him that they could start the following morning. Time estimate to complete the project was 2 weeks, but Alan's team completed it in just 4 days! His team was very professional and showed up bright and early each day. We contacted Alan a few weeks after completion because we realized there were a few areas where rock depth was a little shallow, so he had one of his guys come by to take a look at how much rock would be needed and then return to install the additional rock. He has also since come by to fix a small blemish on one of the pavers and while he was here asked if we were still happy with everything else and also provided suggestions on getting rid of the nut grass / weeds that have since popped up on our lawn. Some contractors have a tendency be difficult to get hold of or just disappear completely once the project is done and paid for, but this is far from the the case with Alan. Would highly recommend Green Planet Landscape.

    Back yard before construction.
    Dall B.

    We purchased a new home in Brentwood that had a builder installed front yard, but no back / side yards other than fencing. We met with several landscape design pro's and after meeting with Alan we felt we had a match. Alan designed a back / side yard, with hardscape, plantings, artifical turf, etc that met our requirements, then came up with a plan to redo the existing front yard (on a corner lot) to round out the project. Allan and his crew, headed up by Angel, spent a bit over 5 weeks tearing out the existing hardscape and plants and recreating our yard. Mid way during the install we decided that one of our ideas was not going to work and the team made a pivot and changed the design of one of our planting areas without blinking. We so much enjoyed our new yard over the summer / Fall that we had Alan come back and remake another section of our front yard that we had decided to wait on for a while. We can't say enough about the dedication of the team to getting things right. We highly recommend Alan and Green Planet for your landscape needs.

We were looking for a possible leak and I contacted them asking if they offered any type of maintenance on their equipment since we don't know what to look for or how it works. We were told there were some valves and a shut off valve located on auto fill feature. Again, not being familiar with any of the equipment involved with said feature we weren't sure what to look for. We ended up digging up the rocks and finding that it was in fact the auto fill feature not stopping causing it to constantly drain out the front of our home. Immediately called the company and left a message and haven't even received a call back. I ended up calling another company to come help me with the feature and show me how the system works. The only advice I received from AJs was they don't offer maintenance and they recommended I call a leak detection company. For the amount of money the former homeowner paid for this backyard I'm extremely disappointed in the lack of care for their faulty water feature, the lack of compassion for helping me to understand how the system worked and the lack of response.

They asked for the inspection report and I provided them with it. I met Edward at the property, and described the problems to him. We walked the outside perimeter of the property. He said that to get into the crawlspace, they charged a $300 crawl fee. I was upset by this because this was never disclosed before and during scheduling the meeting. I reluctantly agreed, and Edward spent about 10 minutes or less in the crawlspace. We discussed what I was looking for in a quote. He made recommendations, including installing a french drain at the foundation on both sides of house. What followed was several attempts at collecting the $300.00 crawl fee, including an e-mail suggesting that they cannot release the quote until they received the fee. All this was happening while a check was in the mail on it's way to them. I met another contractor, and the experience was very different. He went straight into the crawlspace, gave me his initial impressions of what the cost might be, and also recommended against the french drain, mainly because he didn't see any evidence of water collecting in the crawlspace (and neither had I over the past 6 years). He said this would cost an additional $30,000+, and is not needed. After Lebec received their check, they sent me the quote, and sure enough, the french drain install was about $36,000, and their quote for the foundation work was about 30% higher than the second contractor who came out. I don't know what their project results are like so I cannot comment on that, but the hidden price for the inspection, the recommendation for work that wasn't necessary, and the 30% price difference just leaves me unable to trust them or recommending their services.
