I chose Living Elements Landscape to take out my lawn and dated shrubs to install low water landscaping. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Carlos Meraz, Project Manager, was very responsive and quick to reply.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kept me updated on the progress.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It only took the crew a day and a half to do all the work. I drew up my own design and chose the plants myself for height, sun and water needs so I can't speak of their expertise in that area, but they did exactly what I wanted and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Here are before and after pics. Quite the improvement. read more

We had our landscaping done by Living Elements for our backyard as well as our front yard for some curb appeal. They were recommended to us by a friend and I'm so glad that we went with them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had our initial quote done a year ago by Matt who was so respectful, honest, and responsive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, life happened and we decided to postpone our landscaping project. But when the time came to revisit our landscape project, I knew I wanted to reach out to them again. They were in my top two choices because of the impression that Matt made a year ago, their reasonable price, and the company also seemed to have an organized system. This time we met with Firas and Yasmine. Firas also exhibited the same level of professionalism as Matt and was so easy to talk to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He communicated well with us and checked up on our project regularly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our yard might be considered a smaller project for the company but it didn't seem like it with the amount of attention that they provided. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We also really appreciate how hands-on Yasmine was with helping us design our project. She was also very flexible with the changes that we needed to make.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Problems were solved and issues were fixed without any defensive excuses. We are also thankful for her knowledge and recommendations with regards to our plant choices. Lasly, we had a stellar crew that worked on our yard. It was only 2-3 people at a time who worked on our project which made it more personal. Our main landscape foreman was Jorge and he was detail-oriented and went above expectations. He and the crew made sure that they cleaned up the workplace everytime, they were mindful of the noise pollution, helped us navigate the drip irrigation system, and educated us on maintaining our new yard. Also, as a bonus, I noticed that they segregated their trash properly between regular trash, recycling materials, and green waste. A little thing but speaks volume of their work ethic. Just honestly impressed by the crew's level of professionalism and respectfulness. They're efficient, responsive, and mindful. We have met with different contractors and worked with a great number of people, and I would place the landscaping crew that worked with us in the top 1%. As a whole, they make a great team and I highly recommend working with this company. read more

We hired Living Elements to completely transform our backyard. And it looks amazing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were easy to work with and were flexible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Carlos even met with us after hours and on a weekend to work around our schedules.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They worked with me on pricing for extra items that came up during the process so we didn't feel over charged.

We had a good experience with Living Elements overall. Their prices are very reasonable compared to others in the area, and the work is good quality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The team was friendly and responsive, especially Firas who was always willing to talk to us and answer our questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They fulfilled our vision for our yard, and it was completed in a timely manner. The only part of the experience I wish had gone differently was the consultation with the plant person. Being a novice regarding gardening and plants, I only knew which plants looked pretty, but had no idea about annuals vs perennials, soil considerations, etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I only wish she had taken a little extra time to ask whether we wanted to have to replant every year, and educated us on our options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, I also realize that I didn't know the right questions to ask at the time, which would have helped guide our consultation with her better. I would use Living Elements again for a landscape project and would recommend them. read more

I had Living Elements Landscaping (LEL) replace 2 sidewalks on either side of my house, which were original to the house when it was built 25 years ago. Shoddy workmanship was done by original builders. The LEL crew worked hard removing old concrete, setting up framing, rebar/gravel/sand and pouring/finishing new concrete in 100 weather. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If I had concerns/questions they were addressed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The new sidewalks look great. See before and after pictures. I give them 5 stars! read more

We recently used Living Elements for our front yard landscape project. We had a few specific things we knew we wanted: concrete strips for boat parking, steps, & new sod. Other than that we were looking for input on what would work best for our yard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We met with Matt to kick things off, and he was great! He immediately saw our vision and gave us guidance on the type of grass to use, lighting options, adding plants and more!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Once the project kicked off Victor was there leading the way. He was knowledgable and consulted with us regularly to make sure we were satisfied with the work, and was happy to pivot as needed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He also gave us great tips along the way on what would work best for our yard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We can't leave out James, our project manager that was readily available for any questions and helped us pick out the perfect plants.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lastly, after shopping around we felt we got the best price for the work we had done. We would happily recommend Living Elements to anyone looking to elevate their yard. read more

5 Stars - Backyard Paradise Delivered! We recently completed a pool installation and needed a full backyard transformation to bring everything together--and wow, did this team deliver! From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, the experience was seamless, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. Kareem helped us shape the vision for the space, offering creative ideas that balanced beauty and functionality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vic Jr. was incredibly responsive and kept us updated every step of the way, which made the whole process stress-free.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Manuel, Rodrigo, and Johan brought the design to life with precision and care--every plant, stone, and detail was placed with intention, and the result is absolutely stunning. The team was always polite, respectful of our property, and--perhaps most impressively--they finished the job on time, as promised! That kind of reliability is rare and so appreciated. If you're looking for a landscaping company that combines professionalism, creativity, and top-notch execution, look no further. We couldn't be happier with our new backyard oasis! read more

Living Elements just installed a flagstone walkway. I talked with 3 different companies and all of them were highly rated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]LE had the best follow up / communication and their pricing fit our budget.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The work was excellent and better than expected.

Wow! Had a big project to do, a lot of different things in my vision to accomplish so I called living elements. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had close to a 5 star rating and the office scheduled me same day, felt like a win win.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Kareem came out on time and ready to roll, he measured the whole backyard an gave me a price. After considering the other bids, the quality and price offered was very competitive and non salesy which was nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As with any big project things come up, some were good some were bad, we can't see the future but at least I had communication throughout, literally a text away from an answer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all my vision came to fruition and that's all I really wanted, thanks to Kareem. My kids love the new layout and I feel like I've gained a friend with this company. Thank you read more

I left a message for this place that I needed to have some landscaping redone and a new drip system put in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The girl Emily, who called me back was such a Ding-A-Ling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would never use the company.

Super happy with our new backyard! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Matt, Firas, and James were all great to work with during construction.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were all very responsive and transparent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Luis and his crew were incredibly hard working and very professional. These guys know what they're doing. read more

If I could turn back time and not work with this company, I would. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication and logistics with this company is terrible. You have to repeat your color, paint, mulch, rock choices multiple times because they have no effective system to manage their projects.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every single step of the process is disjointed, from design to execution. Of what they ultimately finished, I am okay with, but they took years to work on my backyard when it should have been a season and then ultimately ghosted me after I paid them close to $100k, without completing the job. (They installed the electrical to my custom spa without installing the control panel. Now no electrician will touch the job.) Completely unethical company. If anyone ever has questions about my experience I'm happy to answer them. They also tried to convince me to do work without permits. For a landscaping company, they also do not know their plants and gave me French instead of English lavender. Yikes. I have been told by numerous companies now to complain to the State Contractors License Board, which is my next step. This company should not be in operation. read more

I definitely recommend this company. They were great from the customer service to the workers. They did it great job they were on time and just super I no longer have to mow my yard and it looks so much better. Thank you Russ, Henry and Dayla. plus the hardworking team. read more

We hired Living Elements to transform our front and back yards and they did an amazing job. From the first walkthrough to the last, the staff was courteous, knowledgeable and flexible.   The first walkthrough/estimate with Matt went very well.  He immediately saw our vision and was able to make recommendations and suggestions to help synchronize our ideas.  We then met and worked with Gina who created the design for both the front and back yards.  We went through a few iterations and she was always available and willing to make changes. After approving the plans we met James, the Project Manager overseeing the project.  James was outstanding to work with.  There were a few times I felt bad bringing what I felt were late changes to him but he made sure the changes were made.  His goal was to make sure we were happy and he did just that. Lastly, the crew that did the work, with foreman Luis, were outstanding.  Extremely hard workers and very professional.  They did an amazing job on both the front and back yards. We are so happy with the remodel and highly recommend Living Elements to anyway looking for a landscaping company. Thank you all for your amazing work! read more

We were really excited to chat with Living Elements Landscape about getting turf or sod installed in our yard after reading a lot of the reviews here and on Google. We had a consultation time set up with Firas, and the actual consultation was so disappointing. I guess maybe our project was so low budget it wasn't worth his time, but he spent less than 10 minutes entirely, never really got to talk about us and what we want, offer opinions or suggestions. It was merely show up, measure and leave. Maybe they're doing great and don't need to sell people, but this really felt like he didn't care about the job or getting our business. Needless to say we're not moving forward, nor do we recommend. read more

Matt visited us for a consult and was on-site throughout the project. He was professional, attentive and in the end, lived up to his promises. His vision not only followed our ideas, he improved upon them. With his expertise, our new front yard became a reality within a few weeks. He even walked the nursery with us to pick out plants. The work done by Matt and the foreman Luis exceeded our expectations. Thank you! read more

Hired this company to redo our front and back yards and what should have been a two week project turned into over a month. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Matt owns Living Elements and Frias owns Forever Green which was never explained to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Delay after delay, Project manager would drop in occasionally And usually because I would complain things were not correct.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Almost everything according to the plans had to be redone. Front yard hard to be redone because it was done wrong the first time. Had to hire a lighting company to redo the lighting. same with the Electrical. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The day labors they hire from Home Depot were very hard to communicate with since we don't speak Spanish.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We paid over $27K and are very disappointed in what we received. It was a nightmare from the beginning. read more

Since my last review, I emailed our initial estimator, Matt, who reached out to me immediately and got our issues resolved/gave us a thorough explanation on what exactly was going on with the sprinkler system and why the wood used around the pool pump was not sanded down. I reached out to him because he was always reliable and good at communicating at the beginning of the project before the project manager took over. - If I were just reviewing Matt, I would be giving 5 stars. - If I were just reviewing the quality of the overall work, I would give them 4 stars - Communication was the big drawback during and immediately after the project so I still can't give them 5 stars based on this factor. read more

I've been so excited to post this review! We finally decided to commit to redoing our large and overgrown backyard. After several other quotes and designs from other landscape design companies, we decided to go with Living Elements. From the initial project design phase all the way through completion, the crew and our project manager, Scott, were professional and so easy to communicate with. We never hesitated to ask questions to more fully understand the process, and the team was always ready to talk with us. We never felt pressured to buy or include any elements that we didn't want. Living Elements helped us adhere to our budget all the way through We love the results! It looks even better than we had imagined. Thank you Scott and Luis/crew! read more

Living Elements just completed work on my backyard, and I couldn't be more pleased. I worked with James , the project manager, who kept me well informed every step of the way as they installed a patio and shade structure, created and installed an extensive trellis system at the fence line, and completely refreshed all the landscaping in my yard. They have a great team who work efficiently with great attention to detail and who were always ready and willing to accommodate any changes or additions necessary to complete the project to my satisfaction. My yard is beautiful with a very reasonably priced makeover. Thank you James and associates! read more

Reached out to the Living Elements office to get a quote for my backyard and was immediately given an appointment for a free estimate with Matt. Matt offered his expertise and with our general idea, offered suggestions as to how he would optimize our space. After receiving a few quotes, we decided to work with Living Elements as they were reasonably priced while providing the services we wanted (grass, concrete, sitting wall with planter box). On the first day of our project, we were introduced to James, our project manager. From day 1, James ensured that we were happy every step of the way. While he brought samples for us to look at initially, we wanted to see more but could not find time to go to the showroom. James went out of his way to get us the samples we wanted to see and we decided to go with his suggestion and could not be happier. The team worked efficiently and were very detail focused. We were quoted a 2 week window for our project, and it finished right on time. James provided daily updates as to what to expect and when so we wouldn't be surprised when the team arrived. I would highly recommend Living Elements for your landscaping needs! read more

The entire process and results EXCEEDED my expectations. I had some grass removed and landscaped with drip irrigation in the front and back. It met all of the requirements for the Roseville Cash for Grass rebate program. Not only that it is awesome! I have had several contractors do work over the last 40 years. It's not just hard work, and looking busy, but working in harmony as a team that yields great results. Matt was my initial and main contact throughout and was always on time for any of our scheduled appointments. I liked that his preference was to see what we could use and repurpose rather than just tear everything out and start from scratch. His project foreman was Victor and Juanito was the lead landscaper. Their attention to detail showed how these guys prided themselves in their work. There is no doubt that their intention was to deliver a beautifully landscaped space that I would be proud to show off. I could go on and on but I'll wrap it up ... I'm glad that I chose to work with them. I highly recommend Living Elements Landscape and would definitely use them again. read more

After many years of looking at dead grass, overgrowth, and wasted space, we decided to have the backyard renovated. We were looking for a very low maintenance concept. Matt first came in and gave really good ideas on the layout, and project manager James gave further detailed suggestions that we really liked! I loved James's energy and professionalism; more importantly he is all about communication. I can text/call him for any questions and concerns, and he responds right back! Luis and his crew did an amazing job with the concrete, mulch, and decorative rocks. We are now buying patio furniture and decor. We are beyond thrilled with our outdoor space and looking forward to having friends and family finally enjoy the backyard! Thank you Living Elements Landscape! read more

I'm happy to write this positive review of Living Elements landscape service based on my recent outstanding experience with them. After basic research and a few phone calls to local landscape companies, I selected Living Elements. The reviews on their website were largely favorable, they immediately responded to my inquiry, and everything moved smoothly and quickly from there. Project Manager, Firas, immediately put me in touch with their landscape designer, Gina, who was a pleasure to work with. We spent a couple of weeks going back and forth until final design was reached. She helped ensure the plant types and quantities met the criteria required by the City of Sacramento's lawn removal rebate program. And her design was/is beautiful - neighbors have stopped by saying how much they like our new front yard and to ask questions about the process. Firas kept everything moving forward and the Living Elements crew went to work removing our entire lawn and all of our plants, which were few. Karim was an excellent leader of the crew - all of who were positive, pleasant, and super hard working. And boy, did they move fast! Everything was done in 8 days! But even though the project was basically complete, there are always a few things that come up. Firas and Karim were both very responsive and helped with the unexpected issues. I purchased a Rachio watering timer - part of the lawn removal rebate program requirements - and I had some trouble with the timer. And one of my existing/repurposed Rainbird lines failed. They helped with the repair and spent time helping me program the Rachio timer. As the weeks went by, there were a couple of other items that came up and Firas quickly deployed a crew member to take care of the issues. If you plan on applying for the City of Sacramento's lawn removal rebate program, be sure to do your own homework and communicate clearly what you need from Living Elements. It is a partnership and ultimately up to the homeowner to communicate the criteria and ensure you get what you need. That's how I handled it and it worked out really well. Without hesitation, I recommend Living Elements landscape service. read more

James and the team at LEL knocked it out of the park! Although my project would be low scale to most companies (some which wouldn't even give a quote due to its low return) but that's not the case with James and his team at Living Elements Landscaping! Turning my dreams into reality. Communication was spot on and open, never felt a doubt with anything asked or requested. Very professional and prompt. All throughout the project every aspect was communicated and detailed. By the way this company also offers discounts for first responders and military/veterans with I believe shows their core values of respect and giving back to its local service members. I believe the project was a great success and look forward to possibly working with them again in the future for anymore projects! Thank you again! read more

Living Elements did an amazing job with our front yard. We did a complete transformation of our front and side yards. They were professional from start to finish and the customer service was fantastic. James was so great to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our project. Everyone on the team worked super hard to finish the project on time and the outcome exceeded our expectations. Would definitely use them again and recommend to others for your landscaping needs. read more

Working with Matt at Living Elements was a phenomenal customer service experience! My husband & I initially requested an estimate in Fall 2020 to refresh our landscaping that we had completed with a different company 4 years ago who would not come back to do a "smaller" job. Matt was very responsive to emails and text messages to coordinate an initial estimate of plant removal, checking all emitters on our existing drip line (something other companies had refused to do), & updating plants/bark in our front & back yards at our suburban home. He provided an overall price estimate and further broke it down so we could understand where our money was going. We decided to wait until Spring 2021 when we could better afford the work, as we believed his pricing to be fair. When I reached back out 6 months later, Matt emailed me back immediately to schedule a brief walkthrough to confirm our desires were still the same. He honored the same estimate and scheduled the work for 2 weeks out; even though we made a couple small changes or added a couple extra plants, he did not "nickel and dime" us. Matt and his crew were punctual and friendly, and Matt remained responsive to texts and ensuring our needs were met. Picking plants was an easy process thanks to Matt's laminated book of plant photos and personal recommendations based on our plant and color preferences. Matt did a great job helping us make choices to enhance our existing landscape and his crew completed all the work in 2 days. It's hard to capture the full beauty in photos, but our yards look great and we are excited to admire and enjoy them as they grow in! We will definitely use Living Elements in the future, and hope to work with Matt again! read more

We recently finished our backyard project, in no small part thanks to Living Elements. We requested a quote due to great reviews, and working with Matt through that whole process was as simple as these things can be. He was super helpful, responsive, and always available for any questions. Even when we decided to have a different company do a portion of our project, we received absolutely no pushback and Matt was available when we were ready to start working with LEL. We knew we wanted a professional to design our yard, and Gina came through with ideas that never crossed our mind. She was also wonderful to work with. When it came time for implementation, James and his team were efficient and thorough, and his open communication was extremely comforting. Highly recommend! read more
