Unpleasant & unprofessional experience over a 4-month, $100K+ job. The *crew* (the guys actually…read moredoing the work) did a decent job overall, which is the only reason I'm rating 2 stars, but the rest of our time working with Patty and Andie was nothing but awful stress and I would strongly suggest that you hire someone else. They rolled out the red carpet to charm us and get us under contract, and then were treated as last priority. We did everything we could think of to improve communication with them, but they just didn't seem to care about anything other than getting the job done as quickly and cheaply as possible so that they could get paid. Patty and Andie flat-out lied to us many times over the course of our project. The first and biggest lie from Patty was that she would be on the job site every day to make sure things were going along well and make sure our questions were answered. She's repeated this lie in social media videos. After we got under contract, she immediately went on a month-long vacation w/out telling us, leaving us confused as the crew started demolition on our property. When she got back, she showed up at best twice a month to film instagram selfies. Andie said she would be at the site every other day, which was laughable. It's not clear to me what was keeping them so busy, but clearly we were not a priority. There was zero attention to detail. They mis-measured constantly. Ordered too many materials and charged us for their mistake. Then they ordered too little material for our deck which caused weeks of delays, and an inconsistent color in the planks. They constantly would put things into the ground in the wrong location and I'd have to go ask them to move it. They threw away an entire cord of firewood that I had planned to burn, and it was like pulling teeth just getting them to just apologize for it. We went out of our way to be understanding and easy to work with, and that respect was never returned. The crew left trash everywhere on our property throughout the project. They damaged our stucco and never repaired it (even after I called them out on it). And when the project was complete, not only was there trash all over our property, but Patty just texted us with "... we are done with your project. Let me know if you have any questions." That was followed by a text asking for the last payment. Not a single "thank you". Not a single "nice working with you". Not a single "are you happy with everything?". Landscaping can be very expensive and stressful. Do yourself a favor and spend your hard-earned money with someone that will treat you and your project with the respect that it deserves.

Many years ago I laughed and laughed at a comic strip in the newspaper (remember newspapers?) in…read morewhich a character showed off her new wristwatch to her friends. "It's an Albert Einstein watch. Not only does it tell you what time it is, it tells you why." I'm going to tell you how great IEED is, and then I'm going to tell you why. But I'm no Einstein. I'm just a very satisfied customer. We bought a house in Carlsbad. We didn't care for the landscaping. So we looked around for a company that could work with us to re-landscape our new home. My wife found IEED, and they came over to talk to us. By the time our initial interview was done, we had decided we wanted them to do the job. They gave us an estimate and a proposal. We loved it. We signed the contract and they did the work. We are very happy. It was a huge job. We wanted old vegetation taken out and new installed. We wanted people to be able to see the house from the street, and we didn't want a thicket of overgrown greenery blocking views in either direction. In IEED's proposal, they pointed out that one of the reasons the existing landscape was that way was that everything was too sloping, too slanted. They proposed to terrace the property, so that it was a series of flat spaces held up by retaining walls, with stairsteps joining them. We would never have thought of this, but it's done now and we love it. The people are great, and design is great, and we are really looking forward to just being in it. OK, why are they great? Because the owner/ringleader/boss, Patricia, has it all in one brain. She's an artist, a visionary, a project manager, a team leader, and a source of endless positive energy. And she buys donuts for her hard-working crew. Her young sidekick/assistant, Andrea, shows signs of being every bit as good. There's no need for the design department to have meetings with the construction department because it's all the same person. The construction manager doesn't have to say to the designer "I don't think that will be possible" because the construction manager *is* the designer. Lots of designers try to manage construction, and lots of construction managers try to design. Patricia Jones of IEED actually succeeds. Brilliantly. Half a dozen times while I was watching the crew do the work, I thought "Wow! These people are so skilled, so talented!". It's not just the boss that's great--it's the whole company. I feel a certain obligation to say something that's not effusively positive, so I'll say that I find the name of the company to be so long and preposterous I can't bring myself to say it out loud.

Due to a very short engagement, I didn't have a lot of time to manage the creative process for paper. However, Laurie made it very very easy. I trusted her implicitly, and she nailed the design on the spot. Initially, I wanted something very "Pinterest-y" style-wise. However, she expanded on what I wanted, and came up with something a million times better and more unique. I also wanted paper products that were more classic, and I felt she did a phenomenal job executing my vision. Thank you Laurie for being so incredibly easy to work with, and having such a refreshing take on the design process! You made everything so easy for this bride.

That all changed when we called Eco Minded. They made the construction/landscaping process seamless and easy from start to finish. It only took 3 months to do our entire .2 acre backyard. Everything from plants, our deck, pergola, turf, putting green, fruit tree grove, pavers, built in grill, and walkways! They also provided the drafting plans to submit to our HOA, 3D designs, assistance for plant selection meetings, and a direct line of communication where they responded every time within the hour. We also had the same crew working on our project from start to finish. They also didn't pause our job to work another job and come back, it was nonstop progress! The crew always showed up on time or early and even worked through heavy winter / spring rains to make sure the project stay on track. Even with our budget, Todd and Dave used their personal connections and discounts to save us money while not taking a cut. For example, we saved 20% off the total amount of the turf saving us a few thousand dollars. If you're looking for a full service contractor that gets the job done on time with amazing quality, communication, and transparency for all budgets, please go with Eco Minded! It'll be the best decision you've ever made!

I've purchased flooring from this place twice in the last two months, and I can say with confidence…read morethat you should avoid dealing with a guy named JASON at all costs. My first order was for three boxes of floors initially, which - come to find out from my floor installer upon opening - one box was damaged from their fork lift. My installer said it wasn't a big deal, just to take it back to Rayo and they would credit me. Mind you, I had just placed an order for TWENTY more boxes of the same flooring -- so clearly I was not out to scam them. If I could have used that box, we definitely would have. That seems to be pretty common sense, but oh man, you would have thought I was asking Jason to have them give me the Pacific Ocean for free. In a nutshell he completely freaked out on me asking to return the box. First he said "this is not damaaged!" Then that quickly turned out "I don't see why your installer can't just work around the damaged parts." Then from there it went to "Custom orders are final!!!!!!" WHIICH ONE IS IT?!?! Good grief! I explained the situation to him, and he even KNEW that I had just put in an order for twenty more boxes. He still acted like a complete and total jerk. Only when I ran out of the store in tears, did another associate (Mark) call me to let me know he would credit my other order for the 20 boxes to offset the cost of this damaged box. While I appreciate Mark for this gesture, I am disguted by how Jason acted. Definitely should never have this man in sales or any role that involves him interacting with other humans. I own three properties in San Diego -- and will never work with this place again. I'll make sure to spread the good word about Jason's level of service. WOW WOW WOW.
