The team radically transformed our backyard to a wonderful space. They were incredibly professional and clearly have a plan and know what they're doing. They also took great steps to keep our house clean during the project ( they had to trek through our downstairs playroom to access the backyard, hauling debris, plants, and dirt through and avoiding making a mess). We couldn't recommend them more. Thank you!

From the very beginning, everything felt easy and well organized. Rob was responsive and straightforward to work with, Monica created a beautiful design that really made the most of our space, and Rebecca and the crew did an incredible job bringing it all to life. Communication was excellent throughout, and whenever questions or small decisions came up, they were handled quickly and thoughtfully. We were also amazed by how efficiently the team worked. They transformed our yard in what felt like no time at all, while still paying close attention to the details. The finished space is beautiful, functional, and feels like a completely different yard. We were outside enjoying it under the new patio lights almost immediately after they finished! Home projects can sometimes be stressful, but this one genuinely wasn't. The entire experience was smooth from design through construction and final wrap-up, and we always felt like the project was in capable hands. We're extremely happy we chose Logiculture and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and reliable landscaping team. Five stars!

My review of Brian Ott and Zenscape is LONG OVERDUE. The short version: Brian is simply…read morewonderful--kind, patient, thoughtful, creative, honest, and hardworking. From the beginning, Brian listened carefully to our goals and transformed our ideas into a beautiful vision of serenity. He hand-drew his design, explained his ideas, and brought everything to life with a respectful, prompt, and clean crew. He transformed our backyard into a true Zenscape, exactly what we hoped for, and created gorgeous front and back gardens complete with irrigation and lighting. We have now worked with Brian and his team for five years, and what stands out most is that the relationship didn't end when the project did. He continues to respond to our calls and messages, offer advice, and help us care for and preserve his work. During a recent construction project, he even coordinated with our contractor and plumber to protect the garden and ensure the irrigation was properly connected. Our front garden now features beautiful plants, rocks, stones, and a Maple tree Brian planted and helped preserve during construction. The backyard has become a true sanctuary, with fire and water features, a birdbath, Japanese lantern, lighting, and a lemon tree--a perfectly balanced retreat for birds, butterflies, and humans alike. Brian and Noe are now helping us refresh a few overgrown areas (our fault!), and we couldn't be happier with their quality, patience, and follow-through. Brian didn't just transform our yard--he transformed our quality of life. Everyone stops to admire the front of our house, and it brings us so much joy. We are incredibly grateful. Thank you, Zenscape!

So, I didn't need to pay for repair; I am aware others would have charged a consultation fee to examine the water fountain and then to find out it was such a simple fix would have been disappointing.

When I reached out, I was eager and ready to act on a long overdue project. Out of a handful of landscapers I met with, Tsering was not only the fastest from design to quote to contract but more importantly he was the only one who gave me accurate timelines for expectations of next steps. There was trust building right away. Throughout the project, he was communicative, genuine, and gave honest feedback/advice to my questions. When surprises came up, he always presented it with options, recommendation, and cost so we can quickly come to a good decision. He and his team went above and beyond on multiple parts of the project to maximize success, utility, and safety for our family. It was thrilling to see our backyard changing day by day over two weeks to something completely different and beautiful. We've been enjoying our new backyard, thanks to Tsering and his team. I highly recommend Shambhala Landscapes!

Being a control freak I was hesitant to accept ideas from Tsering, however, once I saw his suggestions on paper I understood his goal was to compliment my vision. He was patient, provided options and the end result was wonderful. He and his team redesigned our front and backyard into gardens. Tsering is a General Contractor and if he can't do it he has someone who will. Every from, landscaping, lighting, irrigation, construction etc. the total package. Regrettably, I did not take before pictures of the backyard as it was so ugly but I've attached pictures of what I have. Unfortunately, Yelp doesn't allow me to put them in any order, (Before vs After). I could not be happier and would highly recommend them to anyone!

Two last-minute reschedule requests from him due to "unexpected conflicts," with no context, long delays in communication between reschedules, and little flexibility in finding a time that wouldn't require me to rearrange meetings and take time off from an in-office job. The flakiness/lack of care was evident from the start, so I decided to pass. In hindsight, probably saving me money on top of the time already wasted. He seems to have put in good effort on some past projects (although there are a number of suspicious 5 star reviews including some that look like they were written by his buddy's or by profiles that have 0 other reviews to bump the rating up), but things have clearly slipped since then. Someone who doesn't respect their customer's time is usually signaling bigger issues with the quality of their work overall.

I hired Adam for a driveway and front yard landscaping project. Unfortunately, the experience fell…read morewell short of expectations on both professionalism and workmanship. Adam was consistently difficult to reach and missed multiple agreed-upon appointments throughout the project. He was repeatedly unprofessional and had no respect for our time. Following up required repeated attempts, and the project dragged on far longer than it should have as a result. Several significant errors were made by his crew, including: * Cement was poured on a rainy day with no oversight, compromising the result. This is something that should never have happened in the first place. * Workers stepped in wet cement during the pour. When confronted, Adam initially attributed the damage to passersby until video evidence proved otherwise. He patched the affected areas, but the patches do not match the surrounding driveway * A water line to a newly planted tree was improperly installed and the tree died. Adam replaced it only after repeated requests * Finish work was sloppy in many instances -- an issue that could have been avoided with basic oversight and timely corrections *Adam would promise to do things but would show up and only finish a few items, requiring repeat follow ups to get the remaining items completed. A contractor's professionalism, quality of work, and responsiveness are entirely within their own control, regardless of how they feel about a particular client. Rather than owning mistakes, Adam appeared to deflect responsibility. I ultimately hired a second landscaping company to assist me, and the contrast in professionalism has been stark. I would not recommend Adam's services to anyone, and I would strongly advise against making a final payment until the project is fully complete.

John and his crew were easy to communicate with, hardworking, and I appreciated how well they would clean up every day after completing work. We plan to use them for ongoing maintenance.

People remark "You have a yard like this in San Francisco?!" They've also helped multiple clients of mine with their landscaping. Design, build and maintain - they do it all soup to nuts.

Having a yard (albeit a small one) in an urban setting is priceless. We were looking to making our…read morespace more habitable and inviting and with very little knowledge about horticulture, irrigation systems, and planting design, a landscape architect was in order. We first started out with a company called "Rock & Rose," allegedly a prominent landscape architectural firm that specialized in large scale urban residential projects. After the initial call, no one responded back. After a second, it took a month to schedule an appointment. After a walk through, the firm was suppose to come back with an estimate. That took another month. The estimate was astronomical. We told them to scale back and never heard from them again until 6 months later. Meanwhile, we found SF Green Spaces through a friend. Brad Goya interviewed us about what we like and don't like and put together a project plan that included a digital image of what our yard would look like, budget, and schedule. The great thing about Brad is that he's passionate about planting gardens. Our small space gets uneven sunlight at different parts of the day. He actually monitored the suns rays to make sure that the plant species would do well in the back yard. We wanted a nicely integrated decking feature that surrounds our hot tub and one that creates an outdoor living room. The decks create a functional and usable space with built in benches and storage for the hot tub. Almost 2 years later, the gardens that outline our yard are mature and creates a beautiful lush (even tropical) environment. The irrigation system was specially programmed by Brad to ensure proper watering. They will even come back to do prunings. All this at a price that was significantly less than Rock & Rose. Kudo's to SF Green Spaces.
