We tried to schedule a 60 minute consultation with Matt with the intent of gauging whether we…read moreshould engage his full design service. We ran into some difficulties at the start due to a last-minute cancellation by Matt and some unresponsiveness through email. When we voiced our concerns, Matt really stepped up to ensure our concerns were met. He immediately refunded us for the cost of the service, and he offered to meet with us at no cost. We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!

We did a 75 minute Virtual Design consultation with Matt at Water and Earth earlier this year. Our…read morebackyard project wasn't quite large enough in size or scope for his full in-person design services. The virtual call was perfect for our project, we provided Matt with pictures of the backyard space as well as a video walkthrough. He took this information as well as our preferences for how we envisioned the space to be used to come up with a 2D design. He also recommended materials and local contractors. We contacted one of the contractors a few weeks later and finished the project with them in about 2 months. I highly recommend the Virtual Consultation for smaller projects with Matt. His feedback for our questions and experience with similar projects were very beneficial to starting this backyard project for us.

We recently completed a large-scale backyard renovation with Stones Landscaping, and are quite…read morepleased with the results. This involved pouring over 1,500 sq. ft. of concrete, a large retaining wall, a patio deck, a new lawn, and a playground area. Here were some of the highlights of my experience: - Design Guidance: I relied heavily on Baltazar's experience and keen sense of design. His elegant hardscaping solution for the pool transition zones exceeded my expectations and tied the yard together perfectly. - The grading and drainage were very well done. Despite heavy rains, there was zero pooling; the rain gutters were routed directly into pipes beneath the concrete for a clean, streamlined look. - Smart Home Integration: All landscape lighting and irrigation were hooked up to smart-home enabled controllers for total automation and convenience. - The office staff was very responsive, addressing any concerns or follow-up questions usually within a single business day. Props to Gladys and Dahlia! Highly recommended!

We had Stones Landscaping overhaul our backyard after gophers and squirrels invaded and destroyed…read moreour lawn and irrigation system. It was over 3500 sq ft of lawn and irrigation, as well as concrete fixes around other parts of our property and pool tile repair. I chose them because they had the best strategy to combat the problem, even though they weren't the cheapest quote we received. I wanted the fix to last long term, not just hold me over for a year or two before another gopher invasion destroys our yard. Everything was extremely professional and delivered to contract specifications. We were extremely happy with the results. They had to move a portion of our fence to get the big equipment in but you wouldn't even know it had been moved because they were total pros putting things back. When we asked for additional scope of work (a French drain), they were quick to get back to me with a quote and incorporating the additional work didn't push out the timeline. All in all, highly recommend and we'll definitely use them again for our landscaping needs.

After interviewing several landscaping design firms, we chose to engage Taylor at Applewood for our…read morefront and backyard landscaping project. From the very first phone call, we could tell he knew his craft. He spent generous time listening to our wish list and understanding our vision, explaining the design/build timeline, and answering every "what if" we threw his way. We also loved his design work in his portfolio of course. Shortly after we engaged Taylor, he was on site taking detailed measurements, photos, and even drone shots of our entire front and backyard. He flagged any potential sloping issues, suggested realistic solutions, and connected us to his trusted referral that could further help us. Any time we had follow up questions, he made himself available and responded quickly - no hard sell, just clear information. Although we weren't able to go forward with the full project due to unexpected yard and budget constraints, Taylor handled the change with total professionalism and never made us feel pressured. The insight we gained from his preliminary work was helpful and will be very useful for when we decide to continue with the project in the future. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely easy-to-work-with design partner, we'd highly recommend giving Taylor at Applewood a call.

The landscaping at my home had been redone several years ago, but sadly, has been neglected. I needed to prepare it for a life celebration for my husband who has recently passed. They came in with a full team, replanted what had died, trimmed up what was overgrown, and generally worked a miracle! I highly recommend this company! The integrity, the passion, and the willingness to, as he put it, "treat it like it was his own property", was outstanding. I have since signed them on to be my regular gardeners. I anticipate they will treat the property, that my husband and I worked so hard to create, with the love and respect that it deserves.

Luis replied right away and set up a time for a free consultation the following day. Afterwards he emailed me quotes for the initial landscape clean up and regular 2x/month maintenance.

My yard looked amazing! Now I understand why Luis and his team are so highly rated - great communication, quality work and a very positive/friendly attitude. Looking forward to the monthly maintenance that will keep my yard looking great.

We had a full backyard renovation design and originally started the project with a contractor we…read morehad worked with before. Unfortunately, this time the experience turned into a nightmare, what was supposed to be a 45-day project dragged on for six months with little progress. After finally deciding to move on, we hired Geovanni and his team, and it was the best decision we could have made. He promised to complete the work in three weeks, and true to his word, his crew of seven arrived the very next day (on a Saturday!) with three trucks, cleared out all the debris, and got right to work. The entire project was completed in just two and a half weeks, and the results are amazing. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations. His team was efficient, honest, and incredibly hardworking. Our backyard looks beautiful, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I highly recommend Geovanni and his team to anyone looking for quality work at reasonable rates. In fact, one of my friends recently hired him after seeing our backyard, and she was just as thrilled with the results.

All Green Scape is a fabulous company that has provided reliably excellent service. Carlos, the…read moreowner of the company, is a delightful person to interact with because he is dedicated to providing the best product out there. We requested Carlos give us a quote for grass installation in our backyard, and he responded immediately, came out to take measurements, and gave us a great quote. Once we agreed, he quickly scheduled the installation. He and his men said it would take two days, and they were totally correct - at the end of two days we had an amazing yard at great value. It was an excellent investment; we loved spending in our backyard after that. We asked All Green Scape to come out again to install even more grass, and they once again provided excellent service in an incredibly timely manner. The grass has thrived beautifully- it is really high quality, both lush and soft. Kids love to roll around on it and play on it all day long. All Green Scape also does our weekly garden maintenance and it's been great as well. You can tell everyone at All Green Scape sincerely cares about making sure their customer's gardens are beautiful, and I really appreciate their expertise and hard wo. I would heartily recommend anyone looking to install grass and make their gardens beautiful reach out to Carlos at All Green Scape.

He replied promptly. During our communication, Renzo's clarity, persistence, knowledge and patience impressed and persuaded me, not to mention his very reasonable quote. Instinctively I knew I could trust Renzo and he is the right guy for my project, even though I haven't met him.  So I waited a month and hired him. The wait was worth it. They built three walls and one patio, redesigned front left yard by grading and building a new pebble pathway with statue, installed lighting and irrigation system that had better dripping rings. They also revamped the driveway that made it look brand new and pebble-covered the right front yard.  It was truly a remarkable experience. Not only they did an excellent job with fine craftmanship, but their punctuality, hardwork, efficiency, know-how, discipline, organization, respect, kindness and neatness were a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration beyond a mere landscaping job. They take pride at what they do and the result is phenomenal! Before and during the three-week construction, Renzo was very respectful and made me feel my opinion matters. He was responsive, accommodating, flexible, easygoing and honest. He listened. He always showed how it would look. When something didn't work out, he was open to suggestions and assisted with solutions. I felt he had my best interest. The level of care to my plants led to high survival rate during transplant. I also noticed one of my trees was magically recovered from disease and the other was vigorously blossoming, which has never happened before. They brought life to my garden. Everything was done very nicely. They cleaned up the whole place and it was much better and cleaner than when they started. They also showed up for additional work as promised. Renzo and his crew transformed my old and messy space into the most beautiful and meaningful garden/haven that I could have only dreamed of. With the new lawn, now my garden has never looked better. I spend more time there and enjoy it more than ever. Renzo at Total Landscape is the best! I highly recommend them!

When issue comes, Renzo is very good at timely communication and giving honest and professional suggestions. I don't need to be onsite to check their job, Renzo communicated everyday what they have done with photo and video, super helpful and reliable. Their price is also very reasonable. We will definitely continue work with him to finish future stages of our landscape and recommend to our friends.

First off special thanks to the dream Team Melvin, Alejandro, Miguel, Alex for making our home landscaping look 110% beautiful! We were interviewing 5 other landscaping and hardscaping companies and not only did Xavier fit our personalities but he also helped us budget our outdoor project into phases which helps us financially. He even worked with us without a designer (due to our tight budget) but if you need one Xavier suggests Grimes Natural Landscaping. If you're not willing or don't have the time to learn plants and paver layout then hire a designer. Although Xavier has great natural instincts and experience on all landscaping design (I feel he should also incorporate being a designer). The Team is clean, thorough, communicative, careful (with gas pipes, waterlines, etc.), and they are actually certified to do more (previous GC messed up our master bathroom pipes and they fixed it: plumbing). E.g. Xavier touches basis with you on a daily basis and when he says they will get it done a certain day it gets done rain or shine unless it rains too much. I will post photos and videos soon, the rainy days images are not the best.
