(How many companies actually tell you when your project ends up costing less?) Would 1000% recommend Celtic and would work with again. Can't wait to see it all grow in!

I was so glad that I reached out anyway just to ask, because it turned out her bid was very much in line with the other quotes I was getting, while clearly being a step above in quality. Helen and her team helped with a relatively large project - rehabbing a slope behind our property that had become barren, building a set of staircases, and replanting our front yard space. From start to finish, Helen was a joy to work with, continually going above and beyond to make sure the project went as well as it possibly could, all while being conscious of our budget. She was collaborative, informative, kind, and generally just a pleasure to work with, and every member of her team was the same. I've already recommended her to family members and neighbors, and am excited to keep working with her for years to come.

Knocked a neighbor's door to find out who did their work. Work looked great and more importantly…read morethe neighbor had good things to say about the experience. Fast forward to several design meetings, discussions, back and forth, demo, install, and maintenance setup and we are now those neighbors with nice things to say to the next person. Barbara and Richard work as a great team. They listen to what you want but also gently push back when they feel they need to based on their expertise. It was a great collaborative experience. We sort of knew what we wanted and didn't want, Barbara was great about giving us options, talking through ideas. Richard came in a little later and solved a wonky legacy sprinkler setup en route to great two tier irrigation system. And the lighting design and execution is fantastic. The actual install took about a week after a day of demo a few weeks earlier. Barbara and Richard were at the site every day and for much of the day. Their team doing the work were very nice and hard workers. Maintenance is key so make sure you agree to a good maintenance plan if you're like me and don't quite have a green thumb.

Both times we wanted a plan that included low-water plants that would thrive in the location based on sunlight exposure, etc. At our last house, not only did we love the design plan, but the plants thrived and grew during the 7 years we lived there. Now in our new home, we cant wait to plant the new design that Yvonne came up with. Yvonne is great to work with as she really pays attention to your wants and likes and does her best to incorporate these into your plans. She gave us plenty of options to choose from and really took the time to listen to our long-term vision. We are excited about additional future projects to work on with her as well, including a dedicated children's playground and overall design of an entertainment backyard including a pool. I would highly recommend Dwell by Design to anyone looking for help with landscape design projects!

GLD Landscape + Design was so excellent to work with…read more My husband and I are new homeowners and though we love to be outside, we don't have a green thumb or a good sense of the right plants for this climate. To complicate this slightly more, we are due and expecting this summer. We approached the team in spring with the goal of just having a nice yard that was low maintenance, and accepting given our timeline we wouldn't get everything we wanted done. They not only hit everything on our list, but they added and improved the design substantially! Being so pregnant and so new to having a yard, it's pretty easy for me to get stressed and I felt totally at ease during the process. Andrew was kind, punctual, knowledgeable, and was able to take our rough ideas and create something we will cherish for years.

We engaged the services of Love's Landscaping a year ago for a property we manage in Atwater…read moreVillage. GORGEOUS home, interior and exterior photos can be found on Pinterest, and it was lovingly restored by it's current owners. At the inception of service with Love's, I walked the property with a Foreman, detailing the items that would be needed, replacement of a simple sprinkler timer that feeds a trip system for the deck and yard spaces, trimming of vines on the side of the house, clean up of beds, general maintenance of a large vine in the front of the house. I have since held two inspections of the house, each time noting the sprinkler timer. I also observed that a grape vine had taken over a neighbors tree, and was growing into the crown, the vines on the side of the house has created damage to the paint of all four windows. The responses I received when noting these issues were nothing short of dismal. Claiming that the grape vine couldn't be viewed as it reached to the top of the neighbors tree, that the sprinkler timer that I had multiple conversations about "As far as the timer in the back yard, it is not broken. It works. The turn dial plastic part was broken off, but the guys use pliers to set and change it. They thought that it would save the owner money to leave it that way because it does work and if they are the ones that set it, it would not matter." Um, if I asked for it to be replaced a year ago, then again 5 months later, and then again now, well, it would seem that the timer should be replaced. But not to worry, I will take care of that myself at this point. The vines on the windows were diminished and narrowed down to just one window, claiming that the tenants asked for the vines not to be trimmed. But they don't own the home, and we're the management company on behalf of the landlords and we pay the monthly fee and engaged the services of Love's, shouldn't we be consulted on how we want to vines to be allowed to grow. I was clear that they shouldn't be allowed to grow on the windows or the frames because the landlord requested it specifically, and because I know only too well that vines damage paint. Who is responsible for painting the windows now? Us, as management, the landlords as the people paying the monthly fee and who stipulated what they wanted for their home, the tenants, who shouldn't have had their requests catered to without consulting us first, or the landscaper, who is responsible for the maintenance? We paid separately to have seeding done of the garden spaces, the rear yard is a mud pit, and the front yard, while one section is thriving, the other looks a mess. It's being advised that we reseed, or go with a more expensive option of putting sod down. Before Love's starting servicing the account, sod wasn't necessary on any portion of the garden and yard spaces. Now it's being advised. Who should pay for that? This isn't about periodic maintenance, this is about a monthly service that has been lacking for months. And is now being pushed off on the landlords to absorb the costs of a job that wasn't and hasn't been well done. I'm not happy. Can you tell? Excuses, bait and switch, lack of taking responsibility. Poor service. I will be cancelling all accounts, only three, but cancelling all, regardless.

When I tried to call back the guy didn't have his voicemail set up. I called the main company line again and left another message. Days go by again and they text me an online form to fill out, with tons of questions that don't apply to this job.

No response to my question, but I get an email days later saying they are not taking on jobs for several months. What a waste of time!

OUTRAGEOUS PRICES! Do not entertain using this company!…read morePlease do not unless money means absolutely nothing to you. After about a $4000 investment in plans they had the audacity to quote a project for a 1500 sq foot front yard at $148,000. Yes, you read that correctly. It is not that I am cheap, in fact, I did spend $197,000 doing the backyard (with another contractor) which included a whole pool redo, new hot tub, BBQ, pergola etc.. Kate Anne Designs however, was doing no major structural changes. Just what I would consider basic stuff - replacing driveway, placing a small retaining wall with driveway gate. Xeriscaping the small front yard, two yard gates and a front porch redo. Even if the wall cost $50,000 and the driveway $15,000 - that leaves $83,000 for front yard xeriscaping - two olive trees, ficus trees, artificial turf, decorative rock, pavers etc. Not sure what the quality would be like, I have no reason to believe it would be bad. They were pleasant and professional. They did say at the outset that they do jobs that are billed over $50,000 - which was ok with me, just not $98,000 over $50,000 for a small front yard - everyone I have shared this with is shocked, don't want you to be shocked either :)
