    After 2 years of moving to a new home, I finally had a chance to get my backyard project with the Modern Yardz.  I have collected information about landscaping companies for years since I moved in.  Modern Yardz became the best choice for me.  Best price! Best quality! Superfast!  So professional! Best customer service!  Weston helped me from the beginning to end.  Luke helped me after the construction started. Weston always put himself in my shoes, and took care of everything that I needed.  I felt free and easy to ask any questions. Since they started the construction, it took only 2 weeks to transform my beautiful backyard.  After the project ended, Weston and Luke kept contacting me and asked me to make sure everything was satisfied.  Thank you, Thomas, Weston, Luke, and other staff members from Modern Yardz.  I am so happy to have the most beautiful backyard in my neighborhood.  If you are reading this review, just pick the Modern Yardz! Don't waste of your time and money to research!

    From start to finish Modern Yardz was awesome. We had about 12 or so quotes from different companies and decided to go with Modern Yardz. Jake was very helpful and professional. He helped us visualize the plan and made sure we were within the rules of our HOA. He came up with great ideas and provided us a 3D rendering the next day. That's what really sold us. They started the job about 2 weeks later and we were introduced to the whole team. Russell the project manager was great in making sure our project was getting executed as planned. He was very communicative and make sure we were in the loop every step of the way. Both Jake and Russell quoted us a 4 week completion. But they finished in a little over 2 weeks. They underpromised and over delivered. Couldn't be more happy on the work! Go with them, you won't regret it!

    Modern Yardz saved us from a disaster. As first time new homebuyers, our community put a deadline on when we had to complete our landscaping. We were already house broke from buying the house, so we wanted to make sure we had the best deal possible but also had great work done. We'd never looked at landscapers before and there were so many terms, companies, and factors to consider. After looking through 10+ companies, we finally chose a company that wasn't Modern Yardz. As we were about to sign the docs, we heard that company had run out of money and was essentially scamming people. We had heard situations like that or major delays happen with multiple companies and were skeptical but that's when we stumbled upon Modern Yardz. What we loved is first, unlike some companies, they give you a complimentary 3D design before you start the project. Jake, the design/sales guy, was able to work with us to customize a design we wanted. Thomas the owner came by and gave us design suggestions, which was super helpful because we had no expertise in this area. Customer service from the owner down was top notch. We feel like we're all friends. When we got the quote, while it wasn't the cheapest, was a fair amount compared to other estimates we got - some of which were 2x more for similar work. Modern Yardz is a company that gives you Mercedes Benz grade quality, with a Toyota pricing. Very reasonable. When we heard that our project would only take 3 weeks, while hopeful, I was very doubtful. I heard horror stories of other companies taking 3-6 months to complete similar work! Right when they started, we could tell this team was organized. The foreman is always on the project. There were multiple people on the job always. They were prompt, quick, and professional. They worked the full hours from 6am to 6pm, and were communicative. They went above and beyond and even helped us with extra work with gardening. They weren't just fast, they were detail oriented. I had a friend come by that understood construction who remarked on how Modern Yardz did a great job on grading the concrete so the water flows towards the drains. Everything was lined up, and in the right place. They completed the job in 3 weeks, as they said, and have since still been communicative and helpful. If you're looking for a no headache, fairly priced, professional, high quality landscaping job, Modern Yardz is the for sure pick. We had zero issues the entire time, and they made a potentially stressful situation, absolutely simple. We're so grateful we chose Modern Yardz! Before/afters in the photos

    Finished project

    So glad I reached out to Modern Yardz to work on our courtyards. Jake and Issac were great, super communicative and very patient with all my questions. They really took the time to review what I wanted and the scope was clearly defined. They helped us balance what we wanted and how we could keep it in our budget. The crew was very courteous to us and my neighbor also commented to me about how nice they all were. There were so many little things that they helped out with that I cannot list them all, moving some large planter pots that were too heavy, etc. When the project was completed, everything was cleaned up and removed from the site as if they were not even there. This is our forever home and I really wanted this space to be done right, they helped us achieve that. We'll be enjoying it for many many years to come.

    We worked with Frank to design our front and backyard. He was extremely patient as we went through many design changes before signing the contract. He was thorough with his design and kept us informed throughout the project. He kept us within budget without sacrificing quality. I highly recommend Frank for your outdoor design needs. Russel was our PM and provided excellent customer service. He would regularly check in on the project to ensure every detail was covered. He even unexpectedly watered our plants while our irrigation was in progress! I am extremely happy with our new living space and Modern Yardz made the entire process stress free.

I am so thankful for the entire team: Ryan, Anthony, Luis, Steve, Obemar, and Santiago--they were all amazing! Ryan had great ideas and worked with me to bring our vision to life while staying closer to our budget. He was always quick to respond and supported me even when I needed to make changes along the way. Anthony was always available to answer my questions and great at troubleshooting in a timely manner--even coming by after the project was completed to help with an issue in our patio caused by a different company. He also returned again to help adjust the irrigation schedule, which I truly appreciated! Luis is the kind of person you want on your project every day--kind (the nicest person), hardworking, and incredibly detail-oriented. Thanks to him, my fence turned out beautifully. I'm also grateful for Steve, who helped me visualize everything on paper so I could feel at ease before we started. His plant choices and placement were spot-on, and I really appreciated the extra effort he put in! Obemar and Santiago worked tirelessly under the hot sun, and thanks to their dedication, the project was completed on time. They were so kind as well--we even received a bag full of lemons one day! This review is a little long, but they all deserve a shoutout. I honestly feel like I got more than I was expecting, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

From the first meeting, I could tell Steve was an unconventional kind of contractor and was willing to work WITH me to get the exact results I wanted. We spend at least an hour in person reviewing the project, then several rounds of phone call/emails back and forth to hammer out the details and price. Compared to my other bids for the exact same work, Steve's bid was exceptionally detailed (I kid you not, down to the nuts and bolts required) and was SUBSTANTIALLY cheaper--so much so that I hired him on the spot when I got his final reworked bid. I am a pretty particular person (some might say a micro-manager), and I had a very specific vision for how I wanted the fence to be built and look. Steve (and his employees Chris & Patrick) were completely receptive to my input and turned the whole project into a collaborative effort in figuring out how to solve some of the more unique issues that arose during the construction. For me and my personality, that worked out perfectly. I am sure other contractors would have totally blown their lid dealing with me onsite everyday asking questions and talking, but Steve's guys took it in stride and the added collaboration really worked out for the benefit of the final result. The final fence built is so amazing people literally stop as they drive by and shout to ask who did the fence for me. I have even had SEVERAL people knock on my front door and ask for the contractor who built the fence. Part of that is down to my killer modern fence design (Steve know's I am right on that!), but most of it falls down to Steve's excellent execution of my vision. Due to the complexity of the project, Steve estimated 3-4 weeks, and they landed a little early at 3 weeks despite a few mix-ups and change orders. As the project was wrapping up, I was really looking forward to hiring Steve to do more work on other landscaping projects, but sadly, Steve told me he was moving home to be closer to family and this was his last project! I would without a doubt hire Steve and his team again for my future landscaping needs if he ever returns to San Diego.

I had no idea what the process was like, what timeframes would be, and what costs came in at. John Kensla was key in alleviating all of our concerns. He was thorough, patient with our questions, and very responsive. We ended up asking John to re-design our front and backyards. He provided multiple layouts tailored to our specific requests, and took the time to talk us through the designs and compile our feedback. Additionally, he provided estimates as to what should be expected for costs of materials/labor. Timeframe and budget were our biggest concerns, so John did a great job of tailoring the design with those considerations in mind. After finalizing design, John provided a list of recommended landscapers to execute the design and recommended that we find a few of our own to ensure all quotes were reasonable. Throughout the remodeling, John would come by to ensure the plan was being executed to our specifications. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about working with John.

He also connected us with reliable contractors and even showed up on-site to ensure the work matched his design.

He was the only one who detailed every item involved in the bid, including update of irrigation.

Michael's bid included every detail in writing that you would assume would be a part of a new lawn job and it was very reasonable. He also showed up on time for the initial appointment! His crew was great! Their work was very detailed and clean. The job was done within three days and all of the work area, including the driveway, was cleaned up.

No one else who came to give a bid gave a good solution or just didn't know how to do that. So the combination of a good bid and confidence in his knowledge of landscaping made this an easy choice. But best of all, he and his crew delivered on everything that was in the design plus things we decided to add. Now we actually enjoy being in our garden. Thank you!
