I really working with Brian and his team. They were very professional, arrived on time, and the job was beyond my expectations. They put together a 3D design and executed in a way that exceeded my expectations I have already recommended them to all my friends and Family, as they really went up above and beyond Thank you so much LA Plants and Bryan read more

We had such a great experience with LA Plants, and I want to especially highlight just how high-quality their work is. Brian was our main point of contact, and he was excellent--professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to getting everything right. We hired them to remove our old DG and install a gravel garden with lighting, and the end result completely exceeded expectations. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are obvious in every part of the project--from the clean layout to the way the materials were placed and finished. It doesn't just look good from a distance--it holds up up close, which is what really impressed me. Beyond the quality, Brian was incredibly easy to work with. He was very mindful of our budget, and everything was clearly communicated from the start. The quote was fully itemized, prices were transparent, and there were no hidden costs or last-minute surprises. The transformation of our front yard has been amazing--it honestly stands out as the best on the street now. If you care about doing things the right way and getting top-tier results, Brian is the real deal. Highly recommend LA Plants. read more

We hired Brian and his incredible team to transform the front of our home. We hired them to remove existing plants and astroturf, re-appropriating the astroturf to different areas, install new landscaping with an irrigation system, transform our parkway with new landscaping and lights, install new brick veneer on our front porch columns, and tile the front porch floor. We also added more concrete to our driveway, removing existing gravel. From the consultation on, the communication has been prompt, fast, effective and clear. Brian has a great eye and we truly appreciated his help when making critical decisions. He accommodated us on every detail. His talented team did beautiful work, and on top of that they were always on time, very friendly, and helpful. Thank you LA Plants for a beautiful makeover! read more

i hired brian after getting bids from a few diff companies to do the landscaping on my front yard after my total house remodel. what i liked about them at the beginning was they broke down the individual costs of each item instead of just a lump sum at the end of a long list....so if i didn't want one thing i knew how much the price would come down and if i wanted something diff than what they suggested they would accommodate. i already had a fence guy and he seamlessly worked with them to make both designs work together. the yard came out great so i had them do my back yard as well as that was going to be much more difficult as i didn't really know in the end of how i wanted it to look. he nailed the design and worked with me to stay within budget. would def hire again if i needed. read more

We couldn't be happier with the incredible landscaping work Brian did for us! From start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and truly went above and beyond to transform our yard. Him and his team installed a wood fence, removed grass, installed turf and hedges for my project. It only took 3 days! Brian was always on time, communicative, and respectful of our property. These guys are very efficient and do an excellent job - highly recommend. Also the cost was significantly less than other quotes we got. read more

Brian and his team did a wonderful job transforming our backyard. They did everything from design to demo to building and all the tiny details that you never even think about. Brian has some great ideas and if you aren't quite sure what you want to do, he's your guy because he will help you decide on every little thing and will always suggest a variety of options. His whole team is very hard working and efficient, and the project was done in shorter time than anticipated. We now have this beautiful space to enjoy and the before and after pictures speak for themselves. read more

Brian and his team did a great job with our front and backyard. They did irrigation, sod, plants, gravel, and lights. He was great with communication and offered up some good ideas as well. Their price is on par with other licensed landscapers. Brian really came through for me when our contractor's vendor didn't deliver our gravel in time. I've hired his team to do the weekly maintenance as well. read more

Brian and the Team@ LA Plants did both my home and rental property recently. Both projects included artificial turf along with major clean up and updated planter areas. The attention to detail and diligence that Brian gave throughout the planning stage lead to wonderful and impressive results. We were 100% completely satisfied with LA Plants and give Brian & his team our highest recommendation. It is so hard today to find competent craftsman, who excel at their trade, this group was OUTSTANDING! read more

Brian at Laplants and his crew are great. I had Brian do our landscaping. I give him 5 stars. Recently I needed some repair work done. La plants made that happen asap. La plants is great. read more

We hired LA Plants to help make over our backyard including new grass, a new irrigation system, lighting and a few other small details, and I could've been more pleased. Brian was fast, reliable and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. His team were absolute professionals, got the job done quickly, efficiently and with great quality and attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Brian and team for your landscaping needs. read more

We hired LA Plants to do landscaping for our small front lawn and curb area that were previously just covered in weeds. Brian was great for helping us visualize and iterate on the design, giving us multiple designs and price points to consider. He was very responsive to our questions and adjustments as we went. The actual work turned out great and was done very quickly. We had one small issue where one plant wasn't receiving water correctly from the irrigation, but Brian sent someone out to replace the plant under warranty and fix the underlying issue. Very happy with how everything turned out! read more

Brian and his crew did an amazing job getting our place in shape, and he was always super responsive and proactive!

Brian and his crew were on time and did a fantastic job. They were very professional and cleaned up behind themselves very well! I would use LA Plants for future projects. read more

I give LA Plants a solid recommendation. I was in need of help and direction with a privacy hedge that I recently planted. I called the number and the owner Brian picked right up. He was able to come see the hedge the same day and help me formulate a plan. The following week, he and two of his workers were here to add another podocarpus and re-stake the existing ones I had. Brian is very knowledgeable, responsive, and reasonably priced. I will definitely use LA Plants in the future as I continue to develop the landscape around the house. read more

Brian is my plants man. Before I reached out to LA Plants, I had met with five other landscaping companies, but Brian put my mind at ease as soon as I met him. He was honest about costs, potential issues, and understood my aesthetic and vision immediately. He's the kind of guy who will go 110% to make you happy with the results. His guys left their workspace (our yard) clean and organized every night. They were respectful of any concerns we had when we pointed them out. Brian had specialists for every part of the job - the electrical, the irrigation, and experienced gardening guys who planted our trees and bushes with such care, they are flourishing now and already growing! I highly recommend these guys. I called a number of top Yelp landscapers, and Brian and his team were TOPS. I now have a drought-tolerant yard, front and back, that can be easily maintained for years to come. read more

Right off the bat, Brian was responsive and set up a FaceTime call with us. He set up an appointment and showed up! He gave us a great breakdown of what was realistic with our budget. He marked up what he tv ought would look good bc we had ZERO IDEA what to do lol. His team was absolutely fantastic and professional. They set up their own porter potty (lol idk why that was nice but i was kind of worried they'd have to come in with their dirty shoes lol). The men were all very polite and Brian was on site majority of the time. I will say it's important to be available during the install since Brian will make sure you approve of the items before they're installed. He will offer other options that might cost more to install but it is to make your yard look the best it can and he was never weird when we said we would pass on something. He went over 90% of what to expect during the project and has been very receptive to any questions we had after the fact. I will post photos, but I HIGHLY recommend Brian and his wonderful/kind:hardworking team. They were great and did absolutely fantastic work. We are BEYOND BEYOND BEYOND happy and love our new backyard. read more

Highly reccommended and made the project fun to do! read more

Brian was very accommodating with my schedule, as I had to push back our start time. When we got to it, his team was wonderful. They are prompt, efficient and incredibly hard working. Always left everything spotless at the end of the day as they worked. The end result was a beautiful drought tolerant front yard that I love. They are pros! Check out my before and afters! Thanks LA Plants! read more

We hired L.A. plants to install pet turf in our backyard. Brian and his team did a great job. He first came to see the place and give us an estimate. We wanted to use a specific turf so he contacted the warehouse and bought it for us. The work went very smoothly. After he was done with the work we realized that we needed to put the bender board instead of wood and he came immediately and fixed that for us too. All of his guys were also very friendly and professional. Thank you. read more

We wanted to renovate our backyard and give it a resort-like look - a place we could enjoy aesthetically and spend a lot of time in. Brian came up with some very simple but effective concepts based on our input. He was responsive, efficient, to-the-point, and a straight-shooter. Once the design was settled upon, Brian and his team went to work with laser-like efficiency, finishing the project in a matter of three days. The finished product was impressive. Anyone looking for quality landscaping services should give Brian and the LA Plants team a shot. We did, and we were not disappointed. read more

We use Brian and his team for landscaping our drought tolerant front yard. We had an idea of what we wanted, and he worked within my request. Everything turned out beautiful! About eight months after the installation, we had a problem with one of the valves. He came early in the morning and helped fix the problem. we were so appreciative! Brian was easy to communicate with, respectful, punctual, and stayed within budget. Would highly recommend. read more

They were incredible. Just got my lawn done by them and they delivered. Not only did my initial call on Friday to the completion a week later, it was all incredible. Brian, made sure the plants we picked wouldn't be harmful to my dogs and when some were he changed and had great options. We also had a weird leak and he recommended a solution and it was perfect. If you need landscaping these are your guys read more

Called and asked about work for landscaping needs only to be told that initially that if the work wasn't over 3,500, that it wouldn't be scheduled. Two days after sharing a video of my property, the price changed to 3,800. Mightily crazy to have a pay cut off for work being done and then to also be able to change a price within a few days especially in Los Angeles where we are limited on water to be used on property. As I was willing to pay what was needed to get it done correctly, there was never a chance. I think there should be a notice that there's a minimum on the site to keep people from wasting their time. read more

LA plants (and Brian in particular) has been such a pleasure to work with. We recently moved into a home in which the previous tenants hadn't kept up with the yard and it needed a lot of TLC. After meeting with us and reviewing our inspiration, he came up with a great vision to help us update our front and back yards. Once we started the work, his crew couldn't have been nicer or more considerate. They always kept everything super clean and were very friendly. LA plants has also focused on making sure things were working properly and we weren't having any issues. When we were having trouble with the new irrigation system (we had old pipes), Brian and his team came out several times to make sure everything was working properly and fix any outstanding issues. They have also checked in to make sure our plants are thriving and have responded super quick to address any concerns we have with our yard. Our yard looks beautiful now and we continually get compliments from the neighbors. We're thrilled with our yard and are enjoying it immensely. Big thanks to LA plants for their great work!! read more

We found Brian on Yelp and all the reviews are spot on. We transformed our yard from a lot of grass to drought tolerant garden taking advantage of a $5/foot rebate from DWP. He and his sister spent time with us to get the design just right which instantly got approved by DWP. They are designers - look at all the curves, textures, colors, repeating patterns. T First his bid came in too high so he came over to talk it through. We told him where we wanted to come in and we reviewed each line item - swapping out fancier rocks or borders and got the price where it needed to be. he process was very collaborative- we picked out the plants together. We selected the rocks, boulders, mulch rain barrels and lighting with his direction. His team (all his employees) is very hard working and you could tell they were proud of their work. Our neighbors commented how each day the the work site was left Throughout the delays because of the rain, Brian was responsive, communicative and upfront. we are looking forward to watching it grow. Due to a materials delay, he is coming back to install two trellises and a birdbath. I also referred him to an interior designer I love and she was impressed by him and his work. read more

Edit: so the owner left a reply to this review saying many people are having DG issues after the rain. The photos I posted were taken either directly (like literally when the crew left) after install or within a week or two - NOT after the rains we had in. LA Plants also states that he indeed purchased the correct material. If indeed true, then it would mean the issue is with their installation. Incompetent - the only word that comes to mind when thinking about the job LA plants did. I've waited about a year to post this review to see how things settled. I generally do not waste my time with reviews but the work LA plants did was below average at best. Their team had to come back to our property five or six times after 'completion' to fix glaring issues like irrigation that was not glued together flooding our backyard to the decomposed granite they installed which is really just dirt or they installed DG without stabilizer - a very big No no for areas that will be traversed upon. We paid for decomposed granite and probably got just plain dirt from another project of theirs or they cheaped out and got some without stabilizer. The DG turns into mud at the slightest bit of moisture, flakes off like dried mud when dry and cracks into deep crevices. This is either really poor installation or just not the right material. Several plants straight up died due to no irrigation even being laid to them for whatever reason. The garden beds I provided to be installed were crooked and were literally missing screws in some places. There was NO weed blocking fabric installed underneath. They also for some reason setup wiring for lights which I never asked for so we have random wires sticking out of the ground several inches in the front yard...they never removed them lol. And of course since the DG install was so poor, the areas around the exposed wiring they left have just eroded away leaving huge holes around them that get bigger and bigger as time passes. I am constantly having to backfill it. To be fair, la plants did replace some of the dead plants they messed up and came back to fix some issues. But the major ones still persist. I've walked on dg pathways that have been there for years if not decades with hundred if not thousands of people walking on them daily in parks, beaches and public spaces. Ours looked worse than those within a week. My neighbors with dg can dance in the rain all day on their dg, we just get a puddle of mud. We now have to redo our yards spending more money to fix the work LA plants did. I imagine all reviews listed were made right after install when things look good. Brian @ LA plants is responsive but would more than often bump appointments or straight miss them. Unfortunately it's not worth the trouble taking to small claims court. I have dozens of pictures, it's a shame Yelp won't let me upload them all. As mentioned earlier by Brian, they did come back to address several of the issues like irrigation issues and dead plants. The others like the SECOND backyard flooding were handled by myself. Thank god the flooding to my neighbors yard was minimal. The dg still looks very poor and is falling apart. read more

We've used LA Plants twice now - once for a huge project (redoing the entire yard from scratch) and once for a smaller project (side yard clean-up). Both times Brian has been a pleasure to work with. Brian takes the time to go through the entire plan, answer all questions and provide options to get you closer to your goal budget. Brian shows up when he says he will and his guys work hard to get big jobs done quickly. Brian has great taste and can also help guide design if you're like me and not 100% sure what you're looking for yet... Lastly, I have to mention that every single person who comes to my home asks about my turf! It is the softest, most natural, most beautiful turf in our neighborhood. We love Brian and LA Plants and plan to use them again and again as things come up in our yard! read more

Within a few weeks, Brian and his team transformed my trash backyard into genuine outdoor living space. I mean, I went from spending ZERO time in my backyard to spending multiple mornings and evenings every week out there. How did it happen? For one, Brian helped me take a rough idea I had in my head and articulate it not just into a complete vision, but a plan for action. He helped me make good choices, and I felt I could trust his expertise (because lord knows he's done this far more than I have). Brian worked with us (and our budget!) every step of the way, helping make sure we arrived at something we were more than happy with. He's a man of his word and will do all he can to make it happen. Not to mention, I genuinely like the guy. I've known numerous contractors in the past, and... let's just say not all of them are pleasant. You know how it is. But Brian? He's a genuinely nice guy, very easy to talk to and work with. So if you want a stand-off-ish, cold relationship with your contractor, you should look elsewhere! Next time I need help remodeling the area around my house, I'll be reaching out to LA Plants! read more

So professional, great communication, and very timely! Brian removed turf from our backyard, and replaced with decomposed granite and gravel. Him and his crew showed up when they said they would, and finished the job within the anticipated timeframe. He was very helpful in giving us different options. We wanted a clean slate with lots of decomposed granite to eliminate maintenance, with room to eventually build raised garden beds and a deck. The end result is exactly what we were hoping for, and very well done - even our handyman noticed how stable the ground was after a week of rain! We've gotten many compliments. Thank you Brian and team! read more

We had a great experience with Brian and team! They transformed our front and side yard completely tackling a robust project of wall & yard demo, leveling, turf install, plants, tree trimming, irrigation system install, light install as well as a custom gate and fence build out. Brian was incredibly patient with us as we scoped the project, changed our minds 100 times and gave us detailed and thorough quotes that were transparent and fairly priced (not the case with other companies we considered). They were done with the project in a timely manner even with several rain delays. Brian specifically was a hands on leader - providing regular updates, details, requesting our input and direction at key points of the project. Everything is great quality and working wonderfully! Very thankful that we worked with LA Plants on this project and are constantly getting compliments on our yard and how "modern" it looks. read more

The team at LA Plants did a wonderful job of fixing up my patio space. Brian was reliable, communicative, and creative and his team certainly went above & beyond. He planted all new plants, built stucco planters, added an irrigation system, and installed beautiful lighting that helped transform my space into the perfect extension of my home. They even returned after the job had been completed to make a couple small adjustments. I would definitely hire LA Plants again! read more

I live in Venice and saw this team working on a house across the street . They were doing a great job excavating a terrible yard and rehabbing it to its fullest potential!! I asked them if they could come take a look at my front yard across the street.- wanting a quote for a long path of pavers leading up to house - but only a very small budget to work with. They gave my an incredibly generous / inexpensive quote to cut pavers. They did an incredible job and I can't wait to use them again !! Brian, the owner, is incredibly kind and ready to make your outdoor dreams a reality !!!! :) I am SO VERY PLEASED ! read more

Hired LA Plants a few months ago to construct a new fence, lay concrete pavers, and create a landscaped border around a new seating area. They responded quickly, gave an accurate estimate which was pretty much in line with other contractors' pricing (LA Plants was neither the cheapest nor the most expensive; their pricing was very fair, I thought), and started work promptly. Masks were worn and social distancing was followed during interactions. Communication was also good, as suggestions popped up and tweaks to the project were made. Texts or calls were returned quickly. And in the end, the original estimate was accurate to the total cost. Months later, things are still looking good. Plants are growing strong and we are pleased with the results. read more

They were polite, knowledgeable, punctual and willing to go the extra mile to get the job done right. Him and his team were even willing to put in a 12 hour 1st day which we really appreciated. We are super happy with how it turned out and will definitely be reaching out to them in the future as our backyard renovation continues. 5 stars! read more

I first reached out to Brian in 2018 for a quote. My wife and I had just moved into the house and wanted to completely redesign our backyard. I received a great quote from Brian but ultimately we decided to take more of a DIY approach (having just bought a brand new house after all). I was very impressed by Brian's professionalism so I reached back out 2 years later when we were ready to bring in the pros. We had a general sense of what we wanted to achieve but Brian was instrumental in helping us make (better) decisions and also suggested some time and money saving measures along the way. Now we have a beautiful backyard and gorgeously landscaped front garden and fence and we couldn't be happier. Especially with this awful pandemic. It's given us a beautiful space to relax and take a breath. Brian has kept checking in to make sure all is well and we could not be happier with the decision to use LA Plants. 100% recommend and would not hesitate to reach out for any future projects. read more

TLDR: Good price, great service, gorgeous yard! I shopped around for a landscaper for several months before I found Brian. Looking for a landscaper in LA can be a frustrating experience. It's a particularly flaky + unprofessional industry. I gathered proposals from 5 landscaping firms before I chose to work with Brian. So I definitely did my homework. Brian's pricing was the most reasonable, and he was able to do the work quickly. He completely transformed by backyard within 2 weeks. During the work, he was very responsive - always let me know what was happening during each phase of work and what to expect. He was careful to educate me on what he recommended and why. He cares a lot about customer service, and that really comes through in his work. I felt like I was in good hands throughout the process. Best of all, after the project was complete (a couple of months ago now), he didn't just disappear. He checks in with me regularly to see how my new plants are doing and make recommendations. He even replaced some plants that weren't doing well at no cost. This is a really nice company to do business with. And after interviewing a bunch of flakes, I am so pleased I ended up with Brian. I can't recommend him enough! read more

I have a fairly small side yard area and had a general idea of what I wanted, working with Brian, I had an initial phone conversation sending him photos and explained what I had in mind, he sent me an approximate quote and after approval he came by, made measurements and further discussed materials giving me suggestions and options with any price change. His crew arrived well equipped and ready to work, they were polite and fast, Brian stopped by often to check the work and always checked with me if everything was going well and if I had any questions. I ended up expanding the work to clean up the front yard and driveway area. Everything was swept and washed clean and neat before leaving. Needless to say I am happy with the work (as are my neighbors) and would highly recommend them! read more

I hired Brian and his team at LA Plants to redo our front yard. I had dying grass in the front and wanted to change it to a drought tolerant front yard with a drip sprinkler system. I gave him the basic plan of what I wanted and he designed the yard based on that. He was very easy to work with and consulted with us every step of the way, everything from plant types to design features. I am very pleased with the way the yard came out. They did a fantastic job. There was a small problem with the drip sprinklers but Brian came out and replaced a defective part and promised to replace two plants that died from root rot. I would recommend LA PLANTS! read more
