I am utterly confused as to why anyone who has actually worked with Brent would give him a 5 star…read morereview, but I see that almost every positive review is 4+ years old, so maybe something was different back then in how the company was run. Working with him has made me concerned about working with any contractors in the future as my fiance and I are pretty new to home ownership and updates. For one thing, Brent's communication is ATROCIOUS. Every single step of the way. You will always have to hunt him down if you discuss anything. Huge red flag. For another thing, he was COMPLETELY disrespectful of the budget we told him. He smiled and nodded and then proceeded to give us a plan 4-5 times what we asked for. Brent totally botched one corner of our yard, and did not have the competence to fix it, or willingness to look into it further or hire a subcontractor. He has just stopped communicating with us even though as of July 31st of this year he texted us that he would be coming over to look at it again. He does not take responsibility for any of this of course- it is the manufacturer's fault or our fault because our budget was so small (still tens of thousands of dollars) that he was barely willing to take a job like this and he let us know it. After we paid him, of course. His design work is nothing you should pay this kind of money for. We are looking into our rights and options now. I would caution anyone against working with him.

We bought a new construction home with dirt in both the front and back yards and hired Rivers…read moreLandscape to do the work. They did an excellent job. The team was very communicative, and two years later our backyard still looks fantastic. They were helpful, attentive, and detail-oriented. They listened to our ideas, made thoughtful recommendations when we needed guidance, and offered options when we weren't sure (for example, which pebbles to use, sourcing grass or materials). The whole process was smooth, and we would gladly recommend them to a friend or hire them again. Our backyard turned out exactly as we had envisioned, and we're very happy we chose Rivers.

Small yard? No worries, Brookside has your back!…read more If you buy new construction these days you can pretty much kiss that yard space goodbye. Finding ourselves in this situation, we needed a team that could transform our "cozy" yard into a comfortable yet elevated outdoor living space. Enter Brookside. You know that feeling when you hire someone to do a big home project and hope that everything goes well, but you kind of hold your breath in the event that something goes awry? That won't happen with Brookside. From our initial call to the thanks-for-everything completion hand shake, they didn't skip a beat. Everything went SO smooth and communication was on point the entire time. Brookside is a well oiled machine. The conversations between us, Brooks and Jenny, and the crew were fluid the entire time and no one was ever in the dark about the plan. On top of that, everyone was so personable and professional. These guys are hard workers and leave your space clean and organized at the end of every day. We were so happy with how our space turned out. Brookside took our basic ideas for hardscape and softscape to the next level and created a beautiful designer yard. We would hire Brookside again in a heartbeat- and you should too!

Brookside Landscape Design did a phenomenal job. Our backyard went from the typical small, suburban…read morebackyard to a sophisticated and luscious landscape that looks like it belongs as a hotel lounge. Brooks and Jenny at Brookside have such a creative and and beautiful aesthetic that we never could have imagined on our own. Their attention to detail is amazing, and their design concept was truly everything we wanted. Even though we have a small yard, they were able to make it look so much larger by moving things around and creating a better flow. It seriously looks like we added square footage. All of the plants that they chose for our yard are so beautiful and unique. Everyone that comes by wants to know what each plant is called because they aren't the very common yard plants that everyone has...they are so interesting! They chose the foliage specifically for what they knew would grow well in our area and with the sunlight for each side of the house. Thoughtfulness went into every aspect of each item they added...from the plants, to the wood and stone for the built in bbq, the special market lights (that are really unique and fun), all the way to the treated concrete. Everything looks like a step above! The work process was easy, and the crews that showed up every day were gracious, kind, friendly and hard working. Over the weeks we got to know the workers, and it was a sad day when it finished and we knew they would not be showing up again every morning. Even our 5 year old knew their names and would announce to us each day who had shown up in the morning. Jenny and Brooks were also very friendly and kind, and were a joy to work with. Such a great team. I have already been showing off their hard work to our neighbors, who are very impressed with the amazing results! Hopefully they will be in our neighborhood working again soon!

We've lived in our home for nearly 25 years now, and were in need of a serious front yard overhaul…read more We needed new irrigation, a bunch of new plants and ground covering and really wanted to install some artificial grass that would look realistic. We did a lot of research and after a lot of consideration chose Wulfscape. We were so glad we did. Eric was great to work with. He was patient with my wife and her tendency to battle indecision with plant options. He laid out our options clearly, explaining the pros and cons of different trees and plants. He worked with us on our decisions and understood we had a budget goal we wanted to achieve. Eric's communication was awesome! He always got back to us quickly, and was always available to answer questions when we had them. He texted us with updates and was honest about timing. He went above and beyond to help us feel good about our project, and his team was clean, efficient and punctual. Near the end of the project, Eric even met us out in Escondido at 6:30AM to help us decide on rock choices (color and size), giving us the confidence that we'd chosen the right option. I cannot recommend Eric/Wulfscape enough to anyone looking to do a yard remodeling project. They didn't try to "upsell" us at all, but rather helped us make sound decisions which will ultimately help us save money in the long run. Wulfscape did a great job on all facets of the project, and completed things much faster than we'd anticipated. They did such a solid job, we're now thinking of doing the backyard too. Great partner!!

They were so professional, kind and helpful! They assisted me in resetting the timer for my water irrigation system and strung lights to complete my vision for my outdoor space! Could not be happier with their service. I would give more stars if I could :) I made a special request to get a Bloodgood Japanese Maple and they made sure I got one. They also did not pester me when I went out of town and was a little delayed in paying them. 10/10 all around!

Our recent bathroom remodel was completed with an impressive level of craftsmanship,…read moreprofessionalism, and care. From the very first day of demolition to the final finishing touches, the construction crew demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication. They are clearly hard workers who take pride in what they do, and it shows in every detail of the finished space. One of the standout qualities of the team was their respect for the surrounding areas of the home. They protected floors, walls, and adjacent rooms diligently, ensuring that dust, debris, and potential damage were kept to an absolute minimum. Their attention to cleanliness and protection made the entire process far more comfortable and stress‑free.The crew members who handled the demolition, construction, and finishing deserve special recognition. Their teamwork, craftsmanship, and positive attitude made the project not only successful but enjoyable. It's rare to see a group that works this hard while still clearly enjoying the work itself. There was one minor design detail that was overlooked early in the planning phase and only became apparent once assembly was underway. Fortunately, it did not significantly affect the final result. One of the crew members quickly suggested a simple hardware addition that resolved the issue cleanly and effectively. This kind of practical, on‑the‑spot problem‑solving is exactly why the project remained on track and the final outcome looks as good as it does. For future projects, incorporating periodic design reviews during construction could help catch small details like this even earlier. It's a simple step that could make an already excellent process even smoother. Would we use this contractor again? Absolutely. The quality of the work, the professionalism of the crew, and the overall experience make them an easy choice for any future remodel.

We just finished our bathroom remodel and honestly, it feels like we're walking into a luxury hotel…read moreevery time we step inside. The marble, gold accents, and Kohler fixtures are absolutely gorgeous and give the space such an elevated, timeless feel. Eddie was our foreman and was extremely attentive and pleasant to work with. Same goes for the entire crew who worked so hard, showing up on time Monday through Saturday, and their attention to detail really shows in the finished result. They will never move onto the next step before consulting with me on placement and how I liked it. I was extremely happy that I did not need to micro-manage since I know that I am very particular and attentive to design and details. You can tell they take pride in their work. Every little corner and finish was done so carefully. Dor (project manager) and Avi (owner) were also AMAZING to work with. From the start, Dor never pressured us into signing any contracts right away, adding things that didn't make sense, nor did he ever make us feel like we were wasting his time. Prior to getting a quote from Lusso, another company gave a whole spiel about them losing money every time they went out to quote a potential client. Then they said that if they left our house without us signing a contract then we wouldn't get any discount. Not only did it make us feel really uncomfortable and horrible but their prices were ridiculous compared to Lusso. No matter what time of day it was, Dor & Avi responded right away. They are great communicators and made the whole process smooth and stress-free, always checking in without ever pressuring us into anything. We felt comfortable the entire way through, and that meant so much. The only regret that I had was not doing this sooner since I'm pregnant in my 3rd trimester. We're beyond happy that they finished so quick with 2 months to spare before our baby comes so that we can truly enjoy our dual shower. We love how everything turned out and so grateful to the whole team for making our dream bathroom come true. Highly recommend them if you're looking for quality, honesty, and a truly beautiful result!

We hired Fredrickson Landscape strictly for design work on our Altadena / Eaton Canyon property,…read moreand they exceeded every expectation. Ben brought a perfect blend of creativity and practicality to the project. He helped us work through ideas for bark vs. rock swale areas, oak-friendly deck details, plant massing, River Wattle spacing, fencing and gate options, and even long-term maintenance considerations. The design is beautiful, functional, and perfectly aligned with the modern-Mediterranean feel of our home. Although the installation was done by another contractor, the clarity of Ben's drawings and notes made their job significantly easier -- everything was laid out so cleanly that there was almost no guesswork during the build. If you want a landscape designer who is thorough, communicative, and genuinely invested in making your space both stunning and practical, I highly recommend Fredrickson Landscape. The design alone made a huge impact on the final outcome of our yard.

As icing on the cake, Glenn's agreement also included referrals to several reliable landscape contractors for installation and maintenance. We described the landscape style that we wanted, and Glenn turned our concept into a detailed design, including choices for plants, boulders, and stones. With installation just completed, Glenn's design has turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. We couldn't be happier.
