I have had Hernando do many special landscape projects at my last two houses in Marin County, and each time he listens carefully, asks clarifying questions, follows my direction and, more importantly, makes really wonderful suggestions for options that will enhance and help achieve my landscaping goals. Hernando and his team have also been providing me with excellent biweekly gardening services for my last two houses - they are incredible professional, do quality work, and often go above and beyond by cleaning up areas that need to be cleared, trimmed, pruned, and/or mowed - usually without me asking. If you are looking for a gardener and landscaper who listens carefully, consistently performs high-quality work, and really cares about what you want and think about his work - then look no further and hire Hernando and his HB team...!

Not only was Novara the most knowledgeable, they were also the most professional. Impressing me with their due diligence and knowledge of everything about both construction and landscaping. They were the only company who even mentioned laying gopher wire and knew about Ditra membranes. Seeing Stephen Garcia on social media cinched it for me. He knew his stuff. This was a company that I could tell would care as much as I did. I came to them with a full design in mind. Lots of landscapers don't love that because they want to do their own thing or because clients don't understand engineering, permits, etc. That said, Novara not only brought my own vision to life but they improved upon it with their experience and passion. I had nothing in my yard but a lot of dirt. Now I have a stunning porcelain paver landing with lighting, a patio and a pergola, DG, irrigation, lighting and a stunning plant design that is flourishing! These guys impressed me with their crew and work ethic. They were there early every morning and worked full long days. Stephen was in constant contact with me and came by frequently. He discussed every little thing they were doing. Novara never pushed me nor grew impatient with me or my questions. They didn't try to add anything expensive and were completely transparent about everything they did, as they did it. I cannot recommend them enough! I'm attaching some photos but will update them as more furniture arrives! Book these guys, you will not be sorry!

From quote to finish, I'm astounded by Novara and team and highly recommend them. There were a few…read morethings we were looking for when choosing a contractor: reasonable pricing, professionalism, competency, and great communication. Drainage was our biggest concern as there's a slope going to the house. Addressing the engineering - not just aesthetics - gave us comfort that this company knows what they're doing. Quote- found them on Yelp, read the reviews, asked for a quote through Yelp projects. They offered next day coordination to view the project. Steven was pleasant and professional. Understood our drainage concerns. The emailed quote came the following day, and it had every detail requested. This punctuality and attention to detail already says a lot to me so we hired them. The job- Started on schedule and the team went above and beyond! We requested the excavated soil to be set aside so we could use it on another part of our property - they so kindly placed the soil in the areas we needed. We saw the engineering of the small gradation for water drainage. The channel drain and French drain were installed for longevity. The 1000+ sqft of pavers were meticulously arranged by hand to include border pavers. Timeframe- this massive job was scheduled for 5 days but extended into 10 days due to the manufacture shorting the border paver count. Clean up- the team did well to smooth out the rest of the excavated soil, gave us as much left over rock and pavers as we wanted and even relocated it to our convenience. Lastly, they swept the patio for immediate use and took any remaining debris. We very much appreciated Steven and the Novara crew for the long days and great work! We love that this a local family business doing great work. The patio looks great and it has us excited to extend our living space!

Talking to Alvaro I mentioned some major landscaping I had been hoping to do and he informed me they can handle those projects as well. I shopped around and the price was competitive. He and his crew: - removed a significant amount of dirt / rocks / plants from my front yard to clear space for additional parking - lay cobblestone in the parking area - built a 4 foot high stone retaining wall - built a 6 foot cedar fence - removed old concrete - installed irrigation and hedges My wife and I are very happy with the results. He and his crew were responsive and respectful.
