We ended up with a flooded garage and basically a mini-lake forming around the house. It was a mess! I called Muneer from Intuitive Landscaping, and he was absolutely incredible. He was literally about to head off on a trip, but he dropped everything to come over and help us out. He even called in Victor, who came in on his day off to replace the sump pump, get all the water out, and just take care of the entire situation for us. Honestly, it's so rare to find a company that genuinely cares this much about their customers. I just want to say a big thank you to the whole Intuitive Landscaping team. If anyone needs any landscaping or outdoor work done, I can't recommend them enough!

Johan had really useful advice to help us make decisions that would be good for us in the long run. He has a wealth of knowledge of plants, our particular climate in the Lamorinda area, and all of the tactical and technical things around homeownership (he's a contractor). We ended up having a plumbing issue that we needed to address to enable our irrigation and Johan had team members that fixed it that day. Very happy with the results and we look forward to working with him on future projects!

D Garcia Landscaping completed a large fence project for us and we are extremely happy with the…read moreresults! This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

Recently, we had them to a full conversion/remodel of our backyard from awful weeds to nice natural grass, with an irrigation system, mulch, and tasteful plants. I was amazed with both how well it came out, and how affordable the project was! I would HIGHLY recommend using Dago Garcia's team for either regular yard maintenance, or any yard project you have in mind. Dago has decades of experience and knows exactly what he is doing- he is super friendly and helped us with great ideas. Give Dago a call!

He brought us samples to choose from, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process surprisingly easy. His crew was respectful, kind, and clearly skilled at what they do. The final amount we paid matched exactly what he quoted us (with a little extra only for additions we chose along the way, which were always communicated in advance-- no surprises). Our backyard has been completely transformed into a space we'll use every single day. They installed a new deck, retaining wall, turf, drainage systems, a new fence and gates, planters, irrigation, pathway, and planted beautiful new plants and trees throughout the yard. We actually found them here on Yelp, and I'll admit I was a little skeptical of all the glowing reviews-- but they absolutely lived up to the hype. I would hire Miguel and his team again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone looking for backyard or landscaping work.

Malrie is a phenomenal designer (and person) --she guided us through every aesthetic and functional choice from layout to landscaping, and became a true friend throughout the process.

Arreola handled everything seamlessly, even coordinating with Anderson Arbors for our pavilion. Now, we are out in our yard every single day swimming in our new salt water pool, relaxing in the in-ground spa, or cooking in our outdoor pavilion (complete with a built-in kitchen and fireplace too). This was a massive project that turned out beautifully. We could not be happier. If you want a team that will guide you through an overwhelming process, make you feel 100% confident, and deliver exceptional craftsmanship, you want Malrie and Carlos.

Malrie is the design guru while Carlos and his crew execute the design with painstaking detail. Malrie brought to life a dull design we received from another outfit.

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.

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.
