Travis did an excellent job on my yard! I was nervous and didn't have everything quite planned out. He helped me with what would work best and incorporated requests that I had like cactuses and boulders. He did extra things for me like repairs from a previous companies bad job. He has always been available after to come check on things and fix any issues. I had several quotes and Travis price was fair. I didn't mind that he didn't have a big team is probably what can keep costs down. But he showed up and had helpers when he needed to. I was very happy with the results and it's been awesome watching everything growing in. I'll attach some current pictures. I would highly recommend Travis to anyone looking for a yard remodel. read more

I just want to say Natural Aspect Gardenscaping did an amazing job transforming my front yard from a water wasting lawn to a low maintenance low water desert landscape with exotic succlents and cacti. Even a beautiful dry river bed to help with drainage runoff during the wet rainy season. I can't recommend them enough they did an absolutely amazing job at an unbeatable price, and everything was put on a micro drip irrigation system with timer making it virtually no maintenance for me! They even set up all of the accent lighting in the front yard, so it not only looks great during the day time but also when the sun goes down a truly professional job at a great price! read more

Natural Aspect did an amazing job replacing our front lawn with low-water plants, a drip system, a decomposed granite path and a rock swale, plus building a fence and replacing our tiled porch with pavers. Travis took all our requests into account to envision the new landscape and he and his team did a great job executing it. As a bonus, we were able to get a rebate for replacing our yard with a low-water landscape. We could not be happier with the results! read more

I contacted Natural Aspect and spoke to Travis about some landscape finishing we needed help with in our front and back yard. We contacted several companies and got back astronomically high quotes. Travis took the time to understand what we wanted and returned with a very reasonable quote for what we were looking for. We were pitting in shrubs, trees and they also worked on replacing cement blocks with cedar panels in our fencing. Travis and his crew did a great job, they worked quickly and delivered great results. We get a lot of compliments from our neighbors about the work done. read more

Natural Aspect Gardenscape just completed our makeover for the front yard. All the bermuda grass was removed, and replaced with California native drought-tolerant plants and a drip irrigation system to conserve water. We specifically asked for plants that support bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Weed-blocking mulch was used to replace the grass. The plants were installed with chicken wire to discourage gophers. A slab walkway was installed on a base of decomposed granite. They also installed a new vinyl gate to replace the old wooden gate. They did a fantastic job at a very reasonable price! The owner, Travis Smith, has a great eye for design. We are so very pleased with our new front yard and we would highly recommend them to anyone. (two years later) We were having some trouble with the drip irrigation, plants were starting to die off. Travis was working on our neighbor's new backyard landscape, and he noticed our problem. He came over and asked if he could help. He found the problem was some of the wiring had been disturbed by someone I had hired to maintain the front yard. Several of the irrigation lines had also been damaged. He took the time to repair everything, check that the system was working properly, and even replaced one of the plants. All of this at no charge! Fantastic! read more

We previously had another company install pavers and turf in our backyard but a year later needed to have a fence replaced and landscaping installed. The original company we worked with was unable to stick to our timeline so we chose Natural Aspect to do the additional work. Travis and team worked fast and efficiently to demo the old fence, install the new fence, new plants, new drip irrigation and a small bench area with pergola. We initially had issues with the irrigation system; for some reason one of the valves wasn't working properly, but Travis came back to the house several times until the system worked properly. I greatly appreciate the extra time and care Travis paid to our system and now everything works perfectly! We're excited to see how the new plants grow in over time. read more

We had four companies come out to bid a landscaping project in our back yard that included replacing rock and shrubs with artificial lawn, replace and install steps on a steep slope, tear out a garden bed and replace, install a dog run with steps and reinstall an irrigation project. It was what I considered a fairly large project that required a company that knew how to execute many different things. Travis and his company not only did this, at a great value, but they went FAR and above what we asked them to do. They were able to turn a lot of our loose boulders and turn into coves for plants, recommended some natural plants and bark where we hadn't considered it, made a number of recommendations we hadn't thought of that GREATLY improved the look of our back yard. Impressively, everything looked better than anything I had ever expected, the craftsmanship was impeccable, the crew was very nice, and they did it in two days less than I thought it would take. I couldn't believe they were also able to figure out an optimal irrigation system for various sections of our yard, and our plants look so good back there (they are eye catching and natural to the area). I could not recommend Natural Landscape anymore and will be using them for future projects in our front yard and some lighting solutions. Professionals and amazing at their craft! read more

Fantastic job! Travis and his crew were professional, prompt and did what they said. Travis had great ideas and I went with his recommendations and the yard turned out great. Thank you so much! Five stars! read more

We had Natural Aspect completely redesign our front yard by removing all the plants, grass and concrete walkways giving us a blank canvas to "start over" with. They installed two new walkways using pavers then laid out and installed artificial turf bordered by pavers and planted succulents and flowering plants with a drip irrigation system. And finally they added mulch and an accent lighting system. Travis and his crew were here every day completing the job in 8 days. They are highly skilled and very professional plus they choose an outstanding design and plants that fit. Our new landscaping has received many complements from neighbors and friends. I highly recommend Travis and his team as we are very pleased with the results. read more

I couldn't recommend Natural Aspects more! We recently moved into a new home and our backyard would flood during the rainy months. Upon having gutters installed, it was recommended to contact someone to extend our existing drain to alleviate our flooding. I saw the great reviews Travis had and contacted him for the job. I sent him detailed photos and a lengthy explanation and he was ready to start the job that week. He was prompt, fairly priced and his workmanship truly shows. He went the extra mile by sharing photos throughout the process. He also added an extra layer of road base in our dog run while he was here! I highly recommend his services and I'm happy that this rainy season won't be accompanied by stress of flooding. read more

We originally had Travis come out to completely re-landscape our front yard. He removed the entire lawn, installed new crushed granite, selected and placed some very beautiful plants, and installed an automatic drip system. It looks fantastic and he did this all at a very competitive price. We contacted many landscaping companies and Natural Aspect was clearly the best value. We had Travis come back a few months later to remove an old chain link fence in our backyard that had become completely overgrown with english ivy. No neighbor wanted to deal with maintaining it. He hauled away what must have been a couple hundred pounds of ivy and installed a new beautiful vinyl fence. It was a huge job and he knocked it out in about 5 working days. Between the front and back yard, our home now looks absolutely stunning. We will be using Natural Aspect for all of our future outdoor projects. read more

Travis and his crew at Natural Aspect Gardenscape are exceptionally hard working and professional. They completely transformed our front and back yard. We wanted to get rid of our grass that was full of different types of weeds and replace it with turf, pavers, and water efficient plants. Throughout the process, Travis provided us with great ideas to improve the look and efficiency of our landscape. They were punctual and worked very hard to complete the project on time. They even went above and beyond the original plan to make our yards look amazing. For example, they trimmed existing plants and trees. They also added beautiful details (additional plants, rocks, etc) that were not included in the original quote. We have received so many compliments from neighbors on the new landscaping. We love our new, clean, effortless landscaping! read more

Travis and Mike did an INCREDIBLE job on our yard! He transformed our yard from overgrown dead grass and weeds, to a dry terrain paradise! Travis did an excellent job listening to our ideas, and using the inspiration photos we showed him to create our yard! Any plants we did not like he would swap out with different ones that fit our style more. He also has a keen attention to detail, and a lot of knowledge about what looks good - so he suggested a bunch of ideas that we had not even thought about! He also set up our drip system so we no longer have to be worried about watering our plants or trees. Overall my husband and I could not be more happy with the end result. It turned out even better than we could have ever imagined, and now our backyard is an amazing hangout spot for us and our friends! Thanks again Travis! We would definitely use them again for any future landscaping needs. read more

We're glad to have found Travis and his company in re-doing our front yard landscape, from the very beginning he took our ideas and he has exceeded our expectations in every way.

I have a long relationship of dealing with Natural Aspect stretching back to my previous home in Steele Canyon near Jamul. For this reason I brought Travis of Natural Aspect to my home in the Fletcher Hills area to completely redesigned our backyard hillside with new plants having low water requirements and to remove and replace a failed waterfall feature. Travis shaped the existing trees to open up the landscape while maintaining the privacy of our backyard. His new plant recommendations were most helpful to achieve the landscape appearance we desired of course after the plant material matures to cover the hillside and to add height towards the top of the hill to improve the privacy of our backyard. Travis and his team were most helpful during the project that replaced the irrigation with a drip system and the lighting. Based on the years of terrific experience I've had with Natural Aspect I would strongly recommend this firm to any homeowner desiring a new or updated plant and hardscape. read more

We bought an old Craftsman house that had just rocks out front. I liked the simple, drought tolerant designs that Natural Aspect had in their portfolio so I met with Travis and simply told him what kind of plants I liked (colorful, hearty, Australian, grassy). I also liked his pictures of the river-like pavers that he did for other homes. We discussed and he took notes and said he already had a lot of ideas. I received a reasonably priced quote, but I was surprised that there were no sketches so I was not really sure what to expect. Travis said they would place the design with the plants, and if I didn't like any of the plants, he could swap them out. So they got to work and after the 2nd day, my husband came home after he saw Travis and Garrett work, and told me, "oh, you're really going to like it!" He had not even seen any of the pictures before. When I went to see the landscaping a day later, I was so amazed at the transformation! Travis introduced each plant and succulent to me, describing how big it would get, and how I could expect key plants to have perennial flowers. You can tell that he really knows and likes plants! He remembered my comment above loving Australian plants and incorporated 3 types of lovely Aussie plants among the succulents and grasses. With the existing rocks, they sorted out various sizes to create a "river" and to create the texture and depth that was missing before. They put in drip irrigation coupled to a weather-sensitive controller. They went above and beyond the scope of work to move rocks over to cover a bare dirt patch and to remove some construction material that we had in the backyard. I am extremely pleased with the results (I didn't need to swap out any plants!) and highly recommend Natural Aspect. Just trust his ideas, you will be pleased! I can't wait to see how the plants will fill out in 6 months! read more

This was the second project using Natural Aspect. We first reached out to Travis to install a paver patio with plants and irrigation in our townhome. The project came out on time and on budget, the results were beautiful. When we moved to our current home, we decided to transform our backyard from from grass and old concrete to a low maintenance space that would accommodate our kids and dog. We wanted an open space ready for entertaining and a place where the kids could play safely outdoors. Travis and his team installed new pavers, a wall, new pergola, low voltage lighting, flagstone walkway, artificial turf surrounded with decorative rocks and low maintenance plants. The results are amazing. Our family calls our backyard "the resort". The crew was clean, professional and on time. They left the work area clean and without safety hazards, specially important since my kids are always waking barefooted and my dog is always exploring outside. Overall, the results are beautiful, the work was professional and the project was on time and on budget. read more

Travis, Garrett, and Anthony arrived on time and immediately went to work on our church's front area. They were kind and asked me what I wanted done. They knew! And they went right to work. What would have taken me a month to do, they did in ONE HOUR!! They used their own large trunk to carry away the trimmings. The area was raked and the sidewalks were blown clean. Such a polite and hard working group of men! Thank you!! read more

Travis and his team did a wonderful job at completing our front yard landscaping vision. They worked with us to come up with a plan that fit our esthetic and budget. They weren't pushy or upsellers like some of the companies I had previously interviewed. They were knowledgeable about which types of plants to use where and why, they were punctual and completed the job in a very timely manner, they were professional and left the site clean and tidy each day, and they even did little things to go above and beyond (brought our trash cans out on trash day without being asked, refilled our dog's water when it was low, etc.). We had a very positive experience with Travis and his team and we were very happy with our curb appeal after they completed the job. We would recommend them for a landscaping job. read more

Travis and his crew did a great job waterproofing our exterior walls, installing a drip irrigation system and a citrus grove, creating a butterfly garden and a "doggy bathroom", and offering helpful advice on the rest of our landscaping, all during a pandemic and a heat wave.

Travis and crew did great job on our front and backyard! Now we have beautifully xeriscaped yards that require little maintenance and minimal water...but look awesome! They were professional and friendly and I would highly recommend their work. I found them on Yelp and am so glad I did. They installed lighting, drainage and a drip irrigation system as well. Easy to work with, quality work, and great design ideas! read more

I have been gradually working my way to landscaping our house for a WHILE. It was desperately needed but such an overwhelming project. I finally made the commitment and worked with Bob to get it started. By the time the project began, Travis and his crew had taken over as the lead. He and his crew are so awesome and hardworking! I really appreciate their work ethic and responsiveness. Helped me narrow down my tree selection, picked awesome plants for landscaping, guided me on all the decisions. I've totally appreciated them! They aren't even done yet and we are already thrilled. Update: 1/25/2018. Well. 6 months later and a lot of the work looks good and held up. But some very key issues really need to be addressed and the follow through on the previous agreed on warranty window has been a huge disappointment. I now need to just research finding someone to fix the DG installation, change some of the irrigation, and replace some of the plants that died long ago. Rather than wait for them to come out while my front looks awful, I will just take matters into my own hands. Too bad. read more

Travis and his team came and worked hard, removing massive amounts of rock, redoing the irrigation, installing pavers, and putting in a very beautiful assortment of plants.

His team transformed my yard to an outdoor oasis. read more

I am revising my review. Travis did make good on his guarantee. He hadn't communicated with me for awhile, and I was concerned. But , he came today and replaced all the dying plants and checked the Drip-watering system and found the problem. He and Mike worked all day, in the extreme heat, and now both the front and back yard look great. I would give him my strong recommendation. Bob L. read more

We LOVE this company and group of employees - we bought a new home and just had dirt for a backyard. Travis and his team came in and put beautiful pavers and plants and even a putting green for my husband. We love our backyard so much that we had them come back out and redo our front yard with a rock creek and beautiful big red rocks to accent the creek. We constantly get compliments on our yard and many of our new neighbors have also used Natural Aspects and all home looks absolutely beautiful. You can't go wrong using this company - they are the best and we will always highly recommend them to others! read more

Travis did a superb job building our new pergola. It's so much more substantial & pleasing to the eye than our old one. He was good to work with - so much so we're looking to hire him on a lawn & irritating redo soon. Highly recommend. read more

We needed a railing beside some steps going down a steep hill. Bob came over the next morning, looked at the hillside, said he'd be over the next day to install the posts; he and a few crew members came back 3 days later and attached the railing to the posts. After they finished, I saw it to be the best natural redwood railing I've ever seen anywhere, blending in perfectly with our landscape! We just made another appointment to have him install another railing on a steeper hill! I highly recommend Natural Aspect Gardenscape to anyone seeking exceptional workmanship and personal service in a timely manner--at a competitive price! read more

We had a builder done front yard and a partially homeowner/other yard landscaper done backyard. We saw the work Travis had done for one of our neighbors and liked it so we hired him to finish up our backyard and redo the front yard. Travis and his crew did a great job on the landscaping. We have had great comments on the finished look and he is giving several bids to other neighbors of ours. Thanks Travis! read more

Working with Natural Aspect was great! Travis took the time to listen to my vision and made sure that I got just want I wanted.

We hired Natural Aspect Gardenscape because we expected them to do a great job with our yard. And they managed, somehow, to exceed our very high expectations! They turned our mess of a yard into an absolute dream by removing all of our grass, re-molding the landscape to give it some texture, adding a drainage system around our house, planting beautiful, drought tolerant plants that suited our taste, and installing a great irrigation system. On top of all of that, they put in an absolutely gorgeous flagstone path, a meticulously constructed patio, and a big, beautiful pergola. Everything was completely custom, from start to finish. Travis, Bernardo, and their team were communicative, responsive, and kind throughout the entire process. They were a pleasure to have around the house, and did thorough and careful work even while we constantly changed our minds about the plans and threw a million curve balls at them. We will definitely work with them for any future landscaping needs and I suggest that you do the same! read more

We had our front and back yards completely redone with the main objective to eliminate water-intensive grass without looking like a desert. We also added a lovely, winding, flagstone walkway, flagstone stairs, a rustic cement bench, and a retaining wall. The pathways, trees, and featured plants are now accented by lighting that adds safety and beauty. All of our new plants, as well as the plants on our patio and balcony, are now watered by an automatic drip, so our maintenance time as well as our water bill should be markedly reduced. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Bob Guthrie and Natural Aspect! Bob is extremely knowledgeable about plants and has many good ideas about yard design. He is very low-pressure and honest; in fact, several times he advised us against adding a project that would have added significantly to his very fair price quote. Bob is also comfortable with people who, like us, have many questions, and he takes a lot of time to explain everything. Bob's workers are all pleasant and hard-working; I was amazed at how carefully and completely they straightened up my yard and organized all their equipment at the end of each day. They did an especially thorough clean-up on the last day of the project, even rinsing the mulch dust off each newly-installed plant! I am very happy with the way my yard looks, but, to me, the peace-of-mind produced by dealing with a qualified, ethical contractor was equally important! read more

We have had Bob Guthrie take care of several issues in our garden. First, he planted a steep bank with water-wise and attractive plants. Then, he installed an automatic sprinkler system. Finally, he installed timed landscape lights. He has been immediately available when we needed adjustments to sprinklers and lights. His customer service is outstanding and his knowledge of plants vast. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

It has now been three months since Natural Aspects completed the transformation of the dead, dried up plant life and 30 year year old water wasting sprinkler system that made up our so called yard. We were somewhat at a loss on what we wanted but thanks to the design guidance of Bob and Travis we now have a state of the art drip irregation system and a front and back yard fulled with a variety of colorful water wise plants (no grass) that get more beautiful every day. Travis and his crew always took the time to greet us, answer questions and make sure we were pleased with what was taking place. They efficently went about their business completing the job in just over a week. They came back in a couple of weeks to make sure the waster system was functioning properly and when we called about the two or three plants that failed within the first few weeks they were right out with replacements. read more
