Lara understood the feeling we were going for with our project and helped us design the landscaping in a way we never could have done ourselves. She hit the bullseye.

Having no idea what to look for in a landscape designer, I asked around at work and got some…read moresuggestions but there was a universal "he's great!" for Tyler from Furuichi Landscapes. Tyler is one of the most knowledgable people I've ever met when it comes to plants. He had suggestions and answers to every question we threw his way. His communication was spot on, understood what we wanted, offered suggestions when we didn't and was super chill through the entire project. He even recommended a fantastic landscaper to boot. His fees and costs for plants were well within budget and he made sure nothing was a surprise. And if he shows up with a fruit tree, just take it. Trust us. Who knew a nectaplum was even a thing? So delicious... We could not be happier with Tyler's work. If you're looking for a designer, or just want to learn the scientific names of every plant in your backyard, Tyler is your guy. A+, 5 stars, would totally have him pick our plants again.

I had asked that we need to replace the barrier underneath. The got it done in about 2 days. The 2nd project we had grass installed in our backyard and get the sprinklers working again (previous owners never got it fixed, so I'm glad that it wasn't any major work). They did it all in one day. They did a fantastic job - so fast, but most importantly, great quality and such good value. I would hire them again for future projects and highly recommend them to others.

We appreciated his input and experience throughout, and the crew was very friendly and hard working. One of the crew members was actually his dad, who always had a smile on and walked us through the progress when Cristian wasn't around. They deserved 5 stars and we would definitely use them again!

We hired Garden Mamas to maintain our mature hillside garden. While we thought it a bit strange…read morethat we had a different crew out most every time, we were assured by Tamara that she had communicated what needed to be done - she was managing the crew. This method seemed to work mostly, although we had to tell the crew each visit what to do, as mostly instructions had been partially communicated. One day, she sent two new people. We told them to trim two bushes on the stairwell and to pick up the leaves, nothing else. This was also communicated to Tamara a few days prior, but like most times, the crew seemed clueless as to what to do. When they were done and had left, we discovered that they had BUTCHERED our garden - most of five++ years of growth was cut away and in a most unappealing fashion. Her crew ripped out plants that a previous crew had installed only a month prior, had trimmed four bushes that were covering an unsightly wall into lollipop shapes, completely exposing the wall, trimmed new growth off of once per season budding plants without any care for shape or aesthetics, butchered slow growing manzanita plants that may never recover, etc etc etc. We were appalled and contacted her. Tamara responded to our concerns, but would not or could not take personal or financial responsibility for making us whole. She told us that the crew she sent was inexperienced and had never worked on a personal, mature garden (only on storage facilities and office complexes), and that she did not have the $$ to replace the plants destroyed or to pay for someone else to replace the plants (as we told her that we could not work with her anymore). We thought about going to the CSLB so that we could at least recover her bond, but did the time/money calculus and finally settled on her paying for two plants to be replaced, at another landscaper's wholesale cost (approx $500). So far, it has cost us over $10000 to get the garden back to where it was, and it will take a few years for it to look as good as it did prior to November 2025. We tried to support this independent, woman-owned business; but her model of a different crew every time coupled with an inability to run her business in a fiscally responsible manner makes it impossible for us to recommend her to ANYONE

It's seven months later and I am still enjoying admiring and tending to my plants as they grow.

It ended up being a decent size job, with a fair amount of digging for the drains and demo of the old stairs, took a couple weeks to complete the job. Nate was a pleasure to work with, responsive, had great ideas about how to tackle the job, and his pricing was totally fair. Most importantly, as you can see from the pictures, they did excellent work. Finally, they stood behind their work, a few cracks showed up maybe 6 months after the job (100% not their fault, we deal with a driveway that shifts a ton from the weight of a steep slope we are on) and they repaired the cracks no questions asked and free of charge. I know he does jobs much larger than this but he never made our job feel insignificant or unimportant, and followed through like a true pro. I'd use him or recommend him again, no question.
