We had a very good experience interracting with the team, starting with the project manager David who put together a plan and a drawing of the project and inspected the progress from time to time. Marvin and his crew were great to communicate with, paid attention to details, and made sure everything was done according to plan. Any hickups they were quick to fix and it was clear they cared about customer experience. Project was done on time and at cost without schedule or cost overruns, including the full cleanup. Although Black Diamond bid was on the higher side as compared to other quotes we got, it was well worth it. Would definitively recommend.

We needed to completely plan our backyard from scratch. We built an ADU in 2021 and it took up a…read morelot of space. Since we wanted to spend more time in the space and wanted it to be beautiful but uncluttered, we knew we needed help. We were referred to Kim and it was the perfect referral! She took our limited space and mapped out a plan that was perfect and incorporated everything we needed and wanted. Her process is pretty amazing; she spent a few hours with us in the backyard, asking questions and taking notes. When we were unsure about something, she'd make suggestions and help us reach a decision. She contacted us when she got to her office and we had a Zoom meeting where we reviewed a lot of details of the plan. That was a few hour process and we were exhausted when we got done but that same day we received from her a complete plan incorporating all the hardscape, landscaping, and plants, as well as a materials list. We were amazed! Her pricing is very reasonable and we felt we got much more value than what she charged. What's more, some of our design needed to change over the next few months as we were implementing the plan and Kim quickly responded to all of our questions and challenges with great suggestions. Kim is definitely someone we will recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for interesting, beautiful landscape design quickly and at a reasonable price.
