We can't thank Scott and his team enough for the complete transformation of our front and back…read moreyards. We live on a hill and a number of landscapers were either very negative or completely ridiculous in their pricing. Scott could instantly see the potential of our yard, dealt with all the issues around permitting and created an amazing terraced garden with a fantastic deck - all by hand! We were pretty hands off with some of the decision such as planting as we are not from the area and don't know what works well here. He made a number of fantastic planting recommendations and we couldn't be happier. We were also really impressed with his team - incredible hard workers and true craftsmen - the quality of the carpentry and stone work in particular is excellent. Would use again in a heartbeat.

I was fed up with gophers digging up the grass on my front lawn, and wanted to replace the grass with flagstones. Daniel's quote was the most competitive amongst three other landscapers. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and have received many compliments from my neighbors. Daniel was always responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend Artscape!

Max Wain is awesome!…read more I had quite a few landscapers come out to bid our project and he was definitely the most knowledgeable and easy to work with. I'm so glad we went with him, not only did he finish our backyard in 2 days, but he did it within our budget! Max continues to follow up with us, once when our Gardener mowed over two sprinkler heads, he came out to fix it. He also sends me emails to check out how everything is holding up. He really goes above and beyond with his customers. I highly recommend him for your next project! I documented our backyard project with before and after pictures.

Max came to our house and despite the claims on his website about working with any budget, it was…read moreclear he seemed to look down on our property, and unless we were willing to spend tons of $, it would not be up to his standards. The talk was a bit condescending and he did not want to waste his time on our place. He's a general contractor too, so I'm not convinced he knows his plants as well as a more dedicated garden/landscape company or landscape designer. The price for what we wanted to do was at least 2x what 3 other people were asking to do the job.

The actual rating is somewhere between 1.4 and 1.8, but two full stars is being way too generous…read morefor this shitshow of a company. 1) You pay a whopping $2500 for a design they don't even follow and its value isn't comparable to other well known companies that have a similar model 2) I have a demanding job and lead a team of several employees so initially I needed Austin to ensure to me that this was something that I wouldn't have to manage for him and that competent people were monitoring progress at all times. That is the complete opposite of what we experienced. In the first week I noticed issues with layout, we noticed plants chosen that didn't match the design, we noticed plant placement that didn't match the design, I have had to fix their electrical issues because they were incomplete, etc. 3) This project was estimated to last 10 days but it ended up lasting months 4) They would make design changes behind our backs and blame us for not bringing it to their attention (???). 5) They use the crappiest concrete guy in the city and they've had to redo concrete jobs more than a handful of times. Several areas of our concrete are still chipped, appear incomplete or have not finished curing after months 6) They use the crappiest mulch supplier in the city. We have had crushed aerosol cans appear in our mulch, animal carcasses, plastic, receipts, pieces of sponges, dental floss even..? And they are perfectly fine with this subpar level of quality 7) The artificial turf installed was laughable at best. The crushed rock sub base they used was not adequately spread across the area leaving empty patches throughout and caused issues with leveling. As incompetent as one could get, Austin could not see any issues with this and it took an act of Congress for them to fix the issue. 8) The concrete pavers we initially paid for were replaced with shitty concrete stepping stones lured by the same idiot who they choose for all of their projects. And yes, we had issues and continue to have issues with those stepping stones.The excuse we got from Alex, the foreman, was that the ones they were initially going to use were "too heavy to move to the backyard". The excuse we got from Austin is that "they were in bad condition"... Someone mentioned it already, but they seemed pretty good the first week and everything literally went downhill from there.

After living in our home for over 38 years, it was time to change the look of the back yard. The…read morechain link fence was very old, our plants and neighbor's plants had over grown on it causing it to be unsecured. Our main concern was for the safety of our 2 Chihuahuas since our neighbors have huge dogs. Austin the owner has been a family friend for the last 30 years. He knows our backyard since he played back there with my sons when they were kids, but most importantly he knew what we would like. Since we have an older home I didn't want a modern look. I was also concern of losing the several birds of paradise and lilies of the Nile since they were here before we bought our home. We decided to go with a redwood fence surrounding the northside to the westside of the property and there would be no harm to the older plants. His crew was always on time, wore their mask and followed social distancing requirements. The crew worked so hard in the 90-degree weather to remove the plants on the old fence and left our back yard immaculate. The result PRICELESS. We are extremely happy and highly recommend Modified Landscapes. Austin and his crew are trust worthy, skilled hard workers, very respectable and now our dogs are safe. Our next project with Modified Landscapes is to upgrade the lights in the backyard so we can admire our beautiful fence during the evening. Thank you Austin and Crew! The Flores

He was on time and worked with me to keep costs to a minimum by reusing some pavers that I had already. Efran and his coworker Ricardo worked hard every day to dig out my lawn and replace it with child safe bark. They replaced a retaining wall in my driveway and prepped an area for plants. They got the job done in three days as promised. I'm not a good photographer, but my yard is very much improved!

We had an architect create a plan for a front entry way, new stairs, back yard, and small pool in…read morethe back. All on a pretty well-slanted lot. Mike gave a great bid, had lots of opinions about how to save more, and occasionally where he would recommend spending a bit more. So, we signed up with him. He was a great choice. He understood the architects drawings well and implemented them and even iterated on them when they just weren't practical or where choices needed to be made. He also had to improvise on adding a pool to the back yard. He had the vision and math to figure out how to position the pool in both height and location to get just the right amount of dirt to level the yard by changing a few parameters of the yard, too. Great mental math and it all fit perfectly. He also did all the wiring and plumbing for the pumps and the heater, too. But the best part of working with Mike is his attitude. He was there with us throughout the project. He executed fast but always spent time to help us through understanding what he was doing or changing what we didn't like. He was full of ways to change the scope and cost as we ran along. Sometimes, when we saw how it was shaping up, we'd want to spend a bit more on some element or scrap another, and he was always up for the replan and alterations. He never grumbled or pushed back when we were trying to save a few bucks but always supported us. We've called him back for a few minor things but look forward to phase 2 with him someday... soon I hope.

I can not brag enough about groundbreaking landscapes. The owner Mike is amazing. He is…read moreconstantly available to go over ideas and plans. He allows for changes/add on's mid-way through the installation. He is a true visionary who has the experience and design eye to give you a yard that reflects your aesthetic and is functional. Our backyard was awful. Nothing would grow. The kids love to play, so there would be this ashy dirt brought into the house all the time. The Outer Richmond is practically all beach sand. My husband & kids wanted nothing but cement to play basketball. I wanted something beautiful that flowed with my mid-century design style & would make for a great back drop for outdoor parties. Mike & I were able to come up with what I believe to be a magazine worthy back yard. His crew is the best I have seen. They came on time (or earlier) every day. They often worked weekends to get the project finished for some upcoming parties I was hosting. The crew was so neat. Everyday they cleaned up the yard and their tools and odds and ends and neatly stacked everything for the following day. So respectful & an absolute pleasure to have working on our home. Mike also is very cognisant to work with in our budget. I have no clue what this other yelper who said Mike wouldn't work on a project less than 10k. When I initially called him I was hoping to be far less than that, and Mike was willing to work within any budget. He is upfront with what your budget is able to get you & where you can save and where you should spend. Not pushy at all. In the end we decided to do a lot more than we initially thought & to do some work in the front of the house, so the budget changed. But, he certainly was willing to work within any budget. We now have a beautiful outdoor space that has become an addition to our home. We use it daily. Entertain and play. It really has changed the way we live at home. Everyday I look at it, it makes me so happy. We get endless compliments on it and we could not have done it without Mike & his crew. There attention to detail and use of quality materials make for an amazing space. Look no further if your looking for any landscape work. You will be thrilled!!

I made it very clear to put good plastic down to eliminate the weeds. He got it done pretty fast in a few days and it came out same as we planed. At the beginning of this year 2026 when the rain started I noticed the weeds were coming back out thru the cheap plastic they installed. They had installed thin cheap ass plastic which didn't stop the weeds this was the main reason why i did this project to block the weeds and to have low maintenance. I called him and asked about the weeds and he said he can't stop the rain or stop the weeds from coming back because this is how nature is and he couldn't do more than that base on his estimate., bull crap. He told me at the start that the plastic would stop the weeds they shouldn't come back. The reason why the weeds came back is because he used the cheapest thin plastic material instead of the thick plastic..really thin shit plus he got very loud mouth and rude to me on the phone. I did have then put in some shrubs and plants and white rocks which cost me 3,200 dollars for 200sq feet..over half the subs died two weeks later and he wouldn't replace them via text messages and later on he even wouldn't return my texts or phone calls. There was nothing written down or no signed or written contact for one thing. Now I have lots of weeds coming back thur the white rocks like before, I've spent several hours pulling weeds once again. I guess I will have everything removed and have artificial grass installed with a real Contractor this time.
