Brent Landscaping is the best in Northern California. Great design and flexibility with what we…read morewere looking for by Xochitl Brent and had great ideas. So easy to talk to and very professional in every aspect of a business. The work was done perfectly and safe, with great care to existing structures. They finished way away ahead of schedule and stand by their quality of craftsmanship. And their price was very reasonable and customer friendly. For our family and friends I would recommend them for any projects of landscaping, walkways, and garden scapes. Just awesome, Thx Dan

We just finished a massive landscape makeover with Brent Landscaping, and we couldn't be more…read morethrilled with the final result, and our journey with their team. Initial consultation - Dan and Xochitl came to our house, where we had in-person kickoff session. We walked around the property together, where they both carefully listened to how our ideas around how to the use the space, and indulged our numerous 'newbie' questions. They are tremendously insightful, very experienced, and remarkably patient with folks like us who are new to the process. Design phase - Xochitl took all our ideas and took a couple of weeks to think deeply about what our outside space could be transformed into. And, boy did she deliver! She and Dan unveiled their vision to us at our next in-person meeting, where Xochitl had drawn out a stunning illustration of what the final design would look like. We loved it so much, it's now framed an hung on our wall. You can talk about designs all you want, but it's only when you see it in front of you that the vision truly comes to life. Execution - The team indicated when they would be available to start our project (after finishing the ones they had already committed to), and they were true to their word. And when everything got started, it was a whirlwind until completion. I don't think there was even a single day where someone from the team wasn't on-site, pushing things forward. One things start, they are fully dedicated to your project, and you can see your outdoor space transforming everyday. Finances - One thing I appreciated immensely was Dan's transparency around the finances involved. He provided a detailed, itemized quote at the on-set, and set out clear processes around payment cadence. That left no room for surprises. Of course, as with any project, we made adjustments and changed our minds on a few things along the way. Dan immediately made the necessary changes, and gave us a clear update on how that might affect costs and timing. Communication - Dan was incredible when it came to keeping us informed on progress and answering questions. He would lay out the plan for the next couple of weeks, make us aware of any decisions he needed from us, and provide timely updates as we moved into the next phases of the project. This was definitely a huge help, and very much appreciated. Final result - This was our first major landscaping endeavor, so there was a lot of blind faith put in the team, and I'm so glad we did. They completely transformed our outdoor space, both front and back. It's been a couple of months since our project completion, and not one week goes by without one of our neighbors commenting on how amazing our outdoor transformation has been. Long story short - you'll be in wonderful, experienced hands with Brent Landscaping. A+++

We moved to the Outer Sunset to have a little more space for our son to run around. The backyard of…read moreour place was full a pea gravel and the typical concrete slab that you see in typical Outer Sunset backyards. We looked through multiple designers, contractors, etc. and decided to go with David and Inside Out. Our overall goal was to maximize the backyard space for play, add bike storage, benches for seating, tropical plants, and a grill space. We went through a couple design iterations with David. He had great recommendations on plants, great thoughts on design and was flexible on the fly. We originally were trying to save some existing plants moving them to another location but I am glad we cleared everything out and started with a clean slate. We were also thinking about a raised garden but decided to go with storage benches, another decision I am glad we made. His team took out all the pea gravel, jackhammered and removed the concrete slab, removed sand/dirt accordingly, removed all existing plants/trees. His team was very professional, they arrived/left at the same time everyday. We added two benches with storage which was a great hit during many play dates having multiple places for adults and kids to seat/play. We also store various toys, gym equipment (weights for me), bbq items in plastic containers so they do not get wet with the morning dew or rain. The bike storage unit is practically waterproof. Everything stays cool and dry even when it pours in the winter. The turf is still flat, no crazy gopher mounds like you get elsewhere in the Outer Sunset (they installed gopher wire below the turf). Our plants: *King Palms *Queen Palms *Fern trees *Podocarpus Elongatus (ice tree) *Giant Birds of Paradise *Other plants Inside Out also does maintenance and guarantees the plants for the 1st year. We have them come out monthly and have had them replace some of the smaller plants as some did not last. All of the large plants and trees are doing great along with the Giant Birds of Paradise. We also had Inside Out build us a trash bin area out front after they finished the backyard. Everything looks great! Many of our neighbors and friends have commented on how great our backyard looks. We even got a nice note from a neighbor we did not know saying how he enjoys waking up with the view of palm trees out of his bedroom window. We cannot be happier with the job David and his team have done. We highly recommend Inside Out!

We were unsure of the material we wanted to use (wood, natural stone, or brick) and it took us a long time to decide. Tony and Jolene were very patient and helpful throughout this process, giving us multiple bids and helping us understand the tradeoffs. + Excellent workmanship. I can't stress this enough. I'm a perfectionist, especially when someone else is working on my home. Tony did a fantastic job. He laid the brick out flawlessly (in spite of our undulating ground) and did a great job with the irrigation system. He even transplanted a plant to an aesthetically appealing location, when I'd expected it wouldn't survive the project. + Responsive to concerns. I called up Tony several times during the project to discuss how things were going and he was always eager to please. A couple of small things I wish had gone differently: - Scheduling. Our project wasn't urgent, and it was the rainy season. So this is no big deal. But our project did take a few weeks longer than expected. - Too nice? Tony was respectful and eager to please, almost to a fault. There were a few times during the project when I wished he had said to me, "No, that's a bad idea." (A few times w.r.t. material selection, and then another time when it came time to design the box's footprint.) We eventually made choices we were happy with but I was hoping Tony could have contributed stronger opinions to the design aspects. If you're looking for a landscaper I definitely recommend you meet with Tony and Jolene.

He worked with us to make sure the design made sense and was within our budget while maintaining our step stones - one of my favorite parts of the yard. His quote came quickly and was extremely reasonable. His team completed the work in about 2 days and we couldn't be happier. What was previously moss, weeds, and more recently gopher holes is now beautifully a maintained lawn. He also updated up our sprinkler timing and makes sure each week that the grass is getting enough water still and has adjusted it as needed. It's also worth mentioning that Rafael is extremely responsive and helpful - we had an issue with our drip sprinkler system and didn't know how to fix it, Rafael took a quick look and brought the correct piece needed from home the next day. Overall we have been extremely happy with Rafael both for our recurring maintenance as well as for our lawn. We won't hesitate to use him for any of our future projects!
