DO NOT HIRE THIS LANDSCAPER unless you thrive on frustration…read more I got an estimate from Erik Morales to lay pavers (which I already had), install some bullnose on a couple of large raised planters, and build a redwood pergola for a ~15'x18' section of my back yard. He came back with an almost $14K estimate on April 14. I'm 66 and have lung cancer, and needed the work done, so I signed the paperwork. Then the waiting game started. Over the next month I contacted the company at least 5 times by phone and email. First the wife/secretary was sick, then they were out of town, then "we're working on the May calendar", then another excuse, followed by silence. Since then my son-in-law and I got the ground leveled and prepped and are laying the pavers this weekend. Remember I'm 66 with terminal cancer and already have the pavers AND bullnose. It's NOT THAT HARD. The pergola's going in next week. It's very frustrating to deal with a contractor that has absolutely no communication skills. If you don't want the job, just tell me, don't jack me around for a month. Estimate expired May 14. Such a waste of what little time I have left. Three thumbs WAY down for this bozo.

I hired Jennifer Kate Landscaping to do a backyard design for a newly built home in El Dorado…read moreCounty. I wanted a low maintenance yard with many native plants but I was having a very difficult time finding a designer with knowledge of native plants. After speaking with Jennifer on the phone I knew that she had experience with, and knowledge of, the plants native to our area. When she came out to the property she walked the space, carefully observing the soil and plants currently growing on the property, gathering the information she needed to make appropriate plant recommendations. Working with her has been a delight. She was accessible through the entire process and was readily available to answer my questions in depth. We share many of the same passions and I feel like she is a kindred spirit! The design is thoughtful and beautiful and I cannot wait to see it fully implemented!

I cannot even say how much I love Jennifer and her work. I'm basically afraid of plants because I…read morekeep killing them so when we started doing our backyard, our landscaper recommended that I contacted Jen. I'm so glad he did. Jen came to our house and basically held my anxious hand through the whole process. We talked about what I like (magnolias!) and what I don't like (bees and lots of watering) and she came up with the perfect, low maintenance landscape for me and my family. Her fees are beyond reasonable, especially for the over-priced Bay Area. I have worked with a lot of home and landscape professionals through the years as we rebuilt our home and yards and I can tell you she is absolutely one of the best people I have ever worked with.

When we decided to completely redesign our backyard, I knew we needed a landscape designer. After…read moreweeks of searching, I found Cyn at YesPlease.Garden, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. From the start, the entire process was organized, efficient, and professional. Cyn took the time to understand not just what we wanted, but the feeling we wanted our outdoor living space to have. Her weekly updates kept us informed, and she was incredibly patient, explaining design choices, offering alternatives, and helping us make confident decisions. The 3D renderings were a game changer. They helped us visualize the finished project before construction began, and the final design perfectly balanced beauty and function. Every inch of our yard was thoughtfully planned, from traffic flow to native plants that will thrive, creating the peaceful, Zen-inspired space we had envisioned. Cyn's guidance during contractor selection was invaluable. She gave us the tools to evaluate bids with confidence. We ultimately hired Landscape Experts, and watching the designer and contractor work together made it clear how much value that partnership brings. I originally thought I could manage the contractor oversight myself, but I quickly realized the questions that come up during construction required a designer's expertise. Hiring Cyn for installation oversight was worth every penny. Our backyard turned out exactly as we envisioned, and we absolutely love our new outdoor living space. If you're planning a landscape renovation, I can't recommend Cyn highly enough. Her creativity, professionalism, communication, and attention to detail made all the difference. You'll be glad you hired her.

From our first meeting, she listened carefully to our ideas, understood the feeling we wanted for both the front and back yard, and turned those early thoughts into a thoughtful, beautiful design that fit our budget and aesthetic. Throughout the process, Cyn was organized, detail oriented, and an excellent communicator. She kept the project moving forward, checked in often, and worked closely with the installer to make sure every element was done right. Her ability to manage the many moving parts of the project gave us confidence from start to finish. She also has a remarkable eye for detail, from plant and boulder selection to the overall flow and balance of the space. Just as importantly, she truly listened to our feedback and incorporated it in ways that made the final result feel personal and exactly right for us. Even after installation, Cyn continued to follow through, returning to check on the plants and helping us replace those that had not made it through the season. Thanks to her care, professionalism, and steady guidance, we now have a yard that brings us joy every day.

We had an excellent experience working with Beth on the design of our backyard. She took our ideas…read moreas the foundation and transformed them into a truly unique and exquisite landscape design that exceeded our expectations. Our property has a challenging layout with a steep hillside, and Beth embraced the complexity beautifully. She created a cohesive design featuring three distinct focal areas: a stunning BBQ kitchen beneath a gracefully curved pergola, a cozy fire pit gathering space, and a relaxing hot tub enclosed within an elegant stone structure. The result is both functional and visually striking. One of the biggest advantages of working with Beth was her use of detailed 3D design software. It allowed us to visualize the space before construction, explore different options, and quickly make adjustments to the design to match our preferences. Throughout the entire process, Beth was punctual, courteous, professional, and exceptionally knowledgeable. Her creativity, attention to detail, and expertise made the design process enjoyable, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a talented landscape designer.

One of the most helpful parts of working with Beth was her use of 3D video renderings. Being able to see the project in detail before starting gave us such a clear picture of how everything would come together. It also made it much easier to plan and budget for the entire project. Honestly, we wouldn't have been able to get such a solid sense of costs and options without her help. Beth's pricing for the design was very reasonable, and she's already helped us save money by creating a thoughtful plan. Her work has given us so much confidence as we prepare to move forward with the project. If you're looking for a landscape designer who can take the stress and uncertainty out of planning while giving you an incredible design, Beth is absolutely the one to call. We couldn't recommend her more!

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!

But his attitude turned 360 into this irritated, short-tone person, when I called back to schedule project starting time. I actually wanted to work with this company but he first gave me some "3-6 month out" time and I actually told him I would wait for him but really needed to lock down a starting date.
