I started working with Jennifer on landscaping design plans for my back, side, and front yard after…read moreneighbors of mine had a very positive experience with her, and I also saw the lovely transformation of their back yard. In a world where we often don't feel heard, I was impressed at how well she listened to my preferences and ideas, and then translated these bits and pieces into beautiful plans. I especially appreciated how she added her expertise and experience to my input, and also checked in along the way - sometimes with images; "Does it look like this?" I also ended up going with the landscape contractor she recommended to complete the work. After delivering the plans, she agreed to oversee the implementation of the plans as well as the building of a custom shed. Jennifer is a talented, wise, and kind person, and I highly recommend her landscape design services.

I was referred to Jennifer Craven Landscape Design by my neighbor who had worked with Jennifer to…read moretransform her backyard a couple of years before. It was truly a pleasure to work with her! I had been planning my backyard/side yard for months and had many ideas of things I did and didn't like. Jennifer listened, asked great questions, and helped to pull those ideas together in a cohesive plan. Once she had created the initial plan, the process was very collaborative, with us going back and forth until the plan was final. Jennifer was very knowledgeable and patient and cheerfully answered my many, many questions. We were looking to get rid of our lawn, but wanted a mix of "dry creek bed" and drought-tolerant plants to soften the look. One of the challenges was working around a large (and, I'll admit--ugly) trampoline that we want to keep for now, but will probably give away in a few years. Jennifer's design included where to place the trampoline without it becoming a focal point, and ideas for what plants would go in that space in the future. Jennifer then referred me to a trusted contractor who brought the plan to life with beautiful results. Jennifer was also responsive, patient, and helpful when questions came up about plants or placement during the construction process. The end result was a yard even better than I had imagined: a natural-looking, serene, beautiful space with an interesting mix of shapes, colors, and textures. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to beautify their outdoor space!

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.

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!

Their pricing was also competitive with market rates and Sal was able to work with us on our budget. We still have more to go with adding plants in the spring. We'll be continuing to work with him and his team on the plants since we had such a good experience. We have recommended Sal and Vineyard Landscaping to friends and family.

The owner was great during the initial consultation and I seriously thought, "wow, I have found my guy." 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.

Las Palmas wasn't the least expensive of the three, but we felt very comfortable with Erik and his expertise at our initial meeting. He and his crew know what they're doing, make suggestions for better functionality, are flexible and easy-going, and to top it off are really nice people. We had a very specific, custom curved bench built by them and it was completed beyond our expectations. With any project during the pandemic, there were a couple hiccups/delays due to supply chain issues, but from start to finish the project took 2-1/2 months and we couldn't be happier. We love our backyard and will use Las Palmas for our future front yard project.

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!
