We had a tiny level area with a narrow, dated walkway of aggregate concrete. The vegetation was mostly dead ground cover on a steep slope...not useful in any way. The process was great, since I had a limited budget, I was very keen to get the biggest bang while managing my funds, Adam was very helpful with this in explaining the impacts of different choices and trade-offs. I purchased a stand alone water feature to save money and it was worked into the plantings with a lovely result. We had stone retaining walls installed, including a large stone bench, and a paver patio in decomp granite. Now, the entry looks inviting, lush and we have plenty of room to enjoy the shade of the oaks and arriving guests.

Not only did they fix the system, they made excellent suggestions for improvement, in particular, minimizing water use, and making the system more resistant to damage. Daniel, the owner, is very knowledgeable and easy to work with; doing a couple of upgrades at no additional charge to us. It was a big job...all materials of the highest quality, along with the addition of 20 yards of mulch...completed quickly, at a fair price. We now have a much more efficient irrigation system thanks to this business. Superb in every detail. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We hired Pacific Land Design to install a paver patio, water feature, outdoor shower and plants…read more  The job required grading for drainage and correct elevation for the patio.   Elyse created a nice design and it seems like they have some good knowledge on native plants.   Eventually, we had to fire them when it became apparent that their work would damage the structural integrity of our home, create a drainage nightmare, and that the finished product was not going to look professional at all.  Through this experience we realized that they are also not licensed or insured.  Prior to starting the job we discussed with them that there would need to be significant grading done to the yard in order to have the patio slope away from the house which is a basic standard and to have the subsequent level of the yard drain properly.  We also removed siding and showed them where the foundation met the rim joist of our home and discussed how that patio needed to be below this level.  When it became apparent that Daniel wasn't meeting these discussed parameters, we got our laser level out and discussed with him again the way it needed to be graded and that more grading needed to take place, thinking he understood, we went on vacation.  We came back from our trip and realized that the grading was still completely inadequate.  Everything including the patio was sloped into the house.  Despite our previous discussions, Daniel piled the road base for the patio up onto our homes rim joist (not pressure treated wood) without any bituthene or flashing.  He also used non-pressure treated boards to hold in the back side of fill in other areas.  Had we not caught this, the boards and our rim joist would have rotted out in a few years compromising the structural integrity of our house and leaving the landings on our paver patio hollow and unsupported.  Also, we would have had terrible drainage issues because the entire yard was sloping into the house.  Unbeknownst to us Daniel cut and capped a line in our well house without knowing what it was and opened a valve that was taped shut and said "keep closed".   After paying a well contractor $400 to diagnose our complete loss of water to the house and fix the problem, we were told that Daniel had cut and capped the line from our well to our holding tank and then opened the line directly from the well to the house which isn't pressure regulated and could have burst our plumbing.  There were numerous other issues: steps and landings laid poorly and all at random heights, Daniel ruining several of our porcelain pavers ($80 a piece) with an angle grinder instead of using the manufacturer stated wet diamond blade ect.  Since firing PLD I have spoken to two other members of our community that had serious drainage and other structural/safety issues with their work.  I wasn't going to leave a review because Elyse seemed genuinely regretful and like she took these concerns seriously. She said they were only going to do simple planting jobs etc. however, I just learned that despite the feedback from us and 2 other clients on their negligent work they are doing another big job with a friend of ours and there have been significant issues including with the drainage.  Because of this I feel it would be irresponsible not to warn others. Elyse was apologetic about our concerns and she refunded us for the labor on the parts of the job that they had not completed.  We had already paid well over the 50% deposit because they said the materials were a lot more than they expected.  I'm thankful they refunded us what we asked for.  I don't know if this is willful negligence or a complete lack of construction knowledge and common sense, either way it's unacceptable.  Pacific Land Design may do an adequate job with small planting jobs but I would not have them do anything that requires craftsmanship, construction knowledge, touches your home or could involve drainage etc.
