I initially contacted Harvest Design Group and Todd directly after a large construction firm…read moretotally botched a patch and resurface of a deck on my investment condo. To call their work incompetent is too generous. The large firm made a mess of the surface, laying out roofing felt and tar and making a disaster of the whole project. At first I was concerned that my needs were too small of a project for Harvest Design, but after speaking with Todd he assured me he could help. Not only did his group remove the disaster that was the large firm's work he totally sealed and resurfaced the deck with appropriate matching color. It looks better than it did new. Todd's attention to detail on a project even as small as this speaks volumes to his firm's work ethic and perfection. HIGHLY recommended although at first I was thinking of not writing a review to keep this tradesman all to myself. If you need any sort of work I recommend contacting Harvest Design Group...if they don't specialize in your area they'll give a good recommendation of who does. Hire this firm only if you want reasonably priced great work. Otherwise go spend your dough on some Wal-Mart of construction companies and endure the pain.

The team was very professional, cleaned up after the job, were able to adjust as changes came up. The estimate was spot on - no hidden costs. We even called them back to work on front irrigation system due to leak and even though we found more problems than just the leak the team adjusted to do it right, no cutting corners, they did what needed to be done to save us money in the long run.

We met and reviewed the work of several other landscapers but didn't feel we had found the right company we wanted to work with until we reviewed D.E.S.I.'s photo gallery and reviews on Yelp. From the first meeting, D.E.S.I. was responsive, professional, and we felt a company that we could easily work with. D.E.S.I.'s design style matched what we were looking for: classic and functional, not cluttered or too formal, but livable while elegant. Throughout the design and build phases, the crew always showed great attention to detail and we were encouraged to add our input into all aspects of the job. D.E.S.I. provided guidance in the design of the bench and garden focal points, lighting, and in the selection of the pavers, granite, and plants. D.E.S.I. was so easy to work with, always available and dependable. We felt we had a trusted advisor helping us with suggestions and guidance throughout the project. I would highly recommend D.E.S.I. to anyone who wants a beautiful yard that is functional and has a beautiful design aesthetic. Thank you!!

Sent some guy named Brendon to our house to measure and give us an estimate. He showed up with an…read moreattitude, started questioning if our HOA would allow as desert landscape, and basically said he didn't want to waste his time if a desert landscape isn't allowed. We explained no one in our neighborhood has done one yet but that doesn't mean we won't be allowed - we just need to submit our plan for approval. Then Brendon went across the street and started questioning a neighbor about our HOA rules, came to the door, and said he wasn't interested in doing a plan for us because our neighbor said our plan would never get approved. Obviously, Brendon just didn't want to work today and was looking for an excuse to go home early. Not a company we would do business with if Brendon is their idea of a salesman!

I had my front yard overhauled. I converted to xeriscape, paver driveway for my RV gate, paver walkway and porch, and carried the pavers around to my paver patio, along with landscape lighting. I also had them do a outdoor BBQ. Everything looks phenomenal. I have gotten a TON of compliments from my neighbors saying how great my front yard looks. Dream Retreats is my go to landscape project company.

I interviewed other companies and they just sent me the estimate via email but no explanation. The project took a little bit longer than expected but they had warned me of that at the beginning which I really appreciated. They said they wanted to make sure the proper job was done. The workers arrived early every single day and they worked very hard. I work from home and I felt very safe with them working out back all day. I felt like it was a breeze and I absolutely love the finished product! I will definitely use them in the future for phase 2.

I hired Outside Living Concepts to complete my landscaping project in May 2023. Unfortunately, the…read moredrip irrigation system they installed has become a major issue. Just this summer alone, I've had to repair and replace nine separate sections of the drip line due to leaks. At this point, I've replaced roughly 50% of the entire system myself. What concerns me most is that every leak has occurred in the same type of tubing, which is visibly worn and deteriorated. I even cleaned sections of the removed tubing to make sure dirt wasn't making it look worse--the material is simply degraded. For comparison, I installed another drip irrigation system line in 2021 using different materials. Despite being about two years older than the system installed by Outside Living Concepts, it has experienced only a single leak. I understand the project is now outside of its warranty period, but I don't believe a drip irrigation system should experience this level of failure after only a few years. The amount of time, labor, and money I've had to invest to continually dig up and replace the system has been extremely frustrating. What has been equally disappointing is the follow-through. After discussing the issue, the project manager told me they would send a crew out to repair the next leak. Just two days later, another leak occurred. I immediately reached out, but now two weeks have passed without anyone coming out or any meaningful follow-up. I'm sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision. I had hoped for better quality and, when problems arose, better customer support. Based on my experience, I can't recommend Outside Living Concepts.
