This is the second time that we have utilized Artisan Outdoor and my wife and I are extremely pleased with the results. We first built our house in 2018 and Artisan Outdoor completed a build out of our landscape that was the envy of our neighborhood. Based on that experience, when we had additional ideas for the landscape, we did not hesitate to reconnect again in 2026 with Jim Neeld and Artisan. They did an outstanding job... on time & on budget, no surprises just expert execution of our plan. Could not be happier with the results and we would recommend them to anyone investing in a landscape project. Tom read more

I highly recommend Artisan Outdoor for your landscaping design projects. Everyone we dealt with at and through this company were amazing; professional, polite, efficient, talented. They are perfectionists and extremely knowledgeable and creative. I'm sure our landscaping project was a relatively small job for them, but they made us feel like it was their top priority. WOW! I am so appreciative and pleased that we found them. read more

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Artisan Outdoor! I was looking to remodel my backyard and a friend highly recommended that I check them out. I am incredibly glad I took that advice. From start to finish, the team exceeded all expectations, but I want to express my deepest gratitude to their representative, Deanna. She was absolutely phenomenal. Deanna invested an incredible amount of time into my project, bringing an unmatched level of expertise to the table. She listened to every idea I had and carefully fine-tuned the designs, seamlessly turning my backyard from a vague dream into a stunning reality. Her attention to detail, patience, and creative vision made the entire process stressful-free and exciting. If you are looking to transform your outdoor space, do yourself a favor and call Artisan Outdoor--and definitely ask for Deanna! read more

We used Artisan Outdoor to renovate our balcony deck and renovate our patio into a much larger and usable space. They were recommended by our designer that we used for our kitchen and so happy we chose them! David and the entire staff were professional, extremely responsive and creative. We love our new space and would definitely use them again in the future. read more

Artisan Outdoor Landscaping Company was exceptional to work with right from the first time we met Jim Neeld. He listened to our concerns, offered several ideas, and guided us thru a plan that we really liked. We needed old pavers removed, soil compacted, drains and lighting adjusted, and then install new pavers and stacked stone on sit wall. The team supervised by Raffi was extremely kind, respectful, punctual, and professional in every way. Their work ethic and enthusiasm for making sure everything was moving forward with our design and materials made it a very enjoyable experience for us. And when it was all done, we couldn't be more happy! We absolutely love their workmanship and dedication to making us pleased with the results. The expert and experienced team of hardworking individuals was truly amazing. We highly recommend Artisan Outdoor!! read more

All told Artisan was a great company to work with. We are very happy with the final results. Work done: Rear patio floor,deck and built-in BBQ structure demolished and replaced. Front of house and Rear of house iron gates replaced with new custom wooden gates built and installed Old landscape lighting re designed and replaced with new units The staff at Artisan were patient, communicative and all highly experienced. The same goes for the sub contracted vendors they brought in. As with any job there were some bumps in the road but all corrections were dealt with in a timely manner and adjusted to my liking. Artisan's mission is clearly to deliver a high level of customer service and professionalism. They handle everything whether the work being done is by their staff employees or a company they subcontract to do a portion of the work. The homeowner can really step back if they wish to. For this high level of service you pay for it. Artisan's bid was priced higher than other vendors' bids and they would not negotiate. They are far from the cheapest BUT in the end I am happy I decided to spend more mostly because having one skilled company execute a project from beginning to end was, for me, well worth it. read more

Outdoor Artisan is an exceptional company with expert employees who are dedicated to making your wish list come true! Thad always wanted a pool when we bought our historic home, but we had to dedicate our funds to other more pressing projects. & then along came our beautiful daughter! (PS...kids are expensive!). So now as we are slowing down, I had a "blonde moment" & wanted to see my original dream in real life. Jim is a master of his craft with the patience of a saint. David was able to conceptualize my vision once I provided photos of my wish list. Gregorio is meticulous at every aspect of the project. Artisan Outdoor is a company that I talk about & mention to anyone & everyone who has the means & the dreams. They certainly made mine come true!!!

Artisan Outdoors was a pleasure to work with from start to finish of our yard project. Everyone involved was professional, enthusiastic and helpful. We initially met with David and explained what our ideas for the front and backyards were. The planning stage was meticulous and they really emphasized making sure we were happy with Robyn, the designer's plans and were extremely accommodating of any changes. Robyn and David were very helpful when working with our HOA and following their requirements as well. They were also cognizant of our budget and made sure to give us options so we would be within our budget. Once the work started, the crew was on the property every week day and the owner of the company Jim checked in often. We would happily recommend them to friends and family. read more

Artisan just recently completed our landscaping project and I must say, we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Everyone in our neighborhood has come by to tell us how beautiful our front landscaping turned out. The crew was great -- they were easy to work with, listened to what we wanted and consistently did careful, precision, professional work throughout. Thanks Artisan for a job well done! I highly recommend this company for any type of landscaping project. read more

Artisan Outdoor was an excellent company to do business with. We have never dealt with a company whose employees showed up everyday, on time and worked tirelessly to get the job done. Their design work and the actual outcome of the project exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Artisan Outdoor for their landscape design expertise. read more

I wouldn't recommend this company. They have one guy who is good but you will not get him as he doesn't work on the projects himself. Instead they assign you someone else. The process of communicating the need for our project was very difficult. A lady responds to your calls who is unable to understand your request and just simplifies and generalizes everything you tell her, seemingly because she may not know much about the work. It was frustrating to communicate with her as she continued to repeat the same thing without incorporating our input and need. It took 10 minutes for her just to take down our name and address. Very slow, inefficient and unknowable. Overall not a great sign. Sadly, can't recommend. read more

This is wayyyyy past due and I apologize to Artisan Landscape. We wanted to hire a professional landscape company to design our front and back yard which was going to be a huge and $$$ project. We met with a number of landscaping companies and decided to go with Artisan. We had such a nightmare experience with our home remodeling project that we hoped for a better experience with our landscape project. From the time Chuck and Roger came to explain what they can do for us, giving us options and ideas, the actual work, to the very end of following up how the trees and plants were growing, it was a 5 star experience. Everyone was very professional and knowledgeable, and I really liked how I could work with the designer on the trees and flowers/plants I wanted. The workers came in early at 7am every day from OC and worked so hard and diligently. Extremely reliable and nice people. It was a breath of fresh air to see a home project go so smooth. Chuck oversaw the entire project and always worked with us to make things we were happy with things. Now that it's spring, our flowers are blooming and people are always complimenting our front and back yard. We even see people come by taking pictures of our front yard from the sidewalk. Our backyard was not easy to work with but they made it happen and our son and dog can run around all the want. We have the underground irrigation system, sprinklers and night landscape lights that automatically turn on and off. They did a lot more but don't know how to describe it all. The pavers and stone that was done in the walkways and patio were done so well, we had no idea of what could be done so glad we put it in the hands of these professionals. Overall, the project was on-time, on budget and 200% customer satisfaction. Now that is a successful project and we could not be happier! Thank you team at Artisan! read more

We were referred to Jim at Artisan Outdoor by an arborist who came to diagnose an issue we were having with some of our trees. Once we determined the solution we needed, we tapped Jim and his crew to put in a four line drip watering system, plant healthy new trees where some had to be removed and replant three drip pots with some beautiful new plants. We could not have been happier with the friendliness and professionalism of the crew or the beautiful end result. If you're looking for a top notch landscape design and installation crew, look no further. Best of the best! read more

I was super impressed with the detail you put into the bid. Even more is how incredible the project came out. I apricate that your proposal included everything, you did what you said, I couldn't believe we didn't have a single change order. I've never experienced that before. Thank you so much! read more

Our home is 50 years old. The tree roots began to lift the sidewalk and made it difficult to mow the grass. All the landscaping was overgrown and hard to trim. We knew we wanted a more modern look and an easier to maintain front yard. Plus, we wanted a yard that was more drought tolerant, using less water and requiring less maintenance. Artisan Outdoor was recommended to us by a friend, and we also received bids from other landscapers featured in local home magazines. The Artisan presentation exceeded our expectations, first, by sending a team to our home that included the Designer, Landscape Planner, and the President. They were professional, courteous, and listened carefully to our concerns, wish list and budget. Within days, they had a design plan which they presented to us on a zoom call. That was followed by a visit from the team to our home, discussing all the particulars about the project, a timeline, and line-item pricing. We were good to go, and the work started immediately. They took care of all the permitting and the demo work was underway. Every day the workers were here before 7:00 am, ready to begin. And every evening they stopped a few minutes before they left to clean the area and put everything away. It was impressive, not only to us, but all our neighbors. The finished product was just as promised in the original presentation design. And the follow-up with their staff has been superb. If we could give more than 5-Stars, we certainly would. We made a great decision on something that we'll appreciate for many, many years. I regret that I didn't take a few "before" pictures in a similar manner as the "after". But it can easily be seen by what is uploaded, what a transformation has been made. And while we have a few accessories to add, like pots and wall art for the brick, that will require a little shopping around on our part before a sunny SoCal summer shines on our new-look home. read more

We remodeled our entire backyard which included a pool re-plaster and tile, addition of a fire pit and BBQ area, all new paver pool decking and all new lighting, irrigation and drainage. Artisan Outdoor did an amazing job. Quality of work, fit and finish and the design work was all 1st class. I would recommend them and use them again. Antonio and his crew were polite, clean and always on time and ready to work. read more

We HAD a very small yard, with areas that were totally unusable. NOT ANY MORE! We were put in touch with James Neeld of Artisan Outdoor. We were dreading the project. However, Jim and his crew were amazing to work with. Jim's plans were awesome. He was very concerned about what our goals were for the yard and our home, and what our likes and dislikes were. Jim came up with a design that was beyond our expectations. His staff implemented his design in every detail. The work included: an updated spa; a beautiful fireplace; additional hardscape; gardens; and turf. Jim's crew was respectful, quiet and extremely eager to please. They never complained about small adjustments. The end project is beautiful, comfortable and more than we could have hoped for. Thank you! read more

Artisan Outdoor is an awesome company to work with! We did a complete front yard re-model incuding both softscape and hardscape. Begining with the first meeting with Jim (Presdent) and Robyn (designer) we could tell they were professionals. They really listened to my ideas and were very honest with pricing and options to make my ideas become a reality. They did not try to upsell me, and instead offered different options to fit our budget. They were very patient with me during the design phase and also during implementation to make any adjustments ensuring we were happy with the end results. Our foreman Joaquin and his team were wonderful-you can tell they love what they do!! They worked really hard, cleaned up the site at the end of the day and really worked with us to make sure we were happy with all the details & layouts etc. We get compliments from all the neighbors & even have people stopping the car to take pictures! We couldn't be happier with Artisan and the entire staff & highly reccommend them for your next outdoor project! Oh, and they told me 30 days and they delivered! We had our new, beautiful and functional front yard completed in 30 days! We have never had that happen before with a remodel!! Thank you Artisan! read more

We have a nice sized lot in Newport Beach, and started completely from scratch. It seemed very overwhelming to completely redo the yard. But Artisan Outdoor made this process very manageable, and even enjoyable. Their staff is knowledgeable. Artisan has very capable designers, architects, landscapers, and subcontractors that built/installed our jacuzzi. The workers were friendly and professional, and kept the job site spotless. We highly recommend Artisan Outdoor. read more

Simply the best landscape/hardscape contractor I have seen. I live in Newport Beach and have been through some interior and exterior remodels before and when Artisan recently replaced my entire front and back yards with soft and hardscape, it was the most seamless process and great results. They do design and build and can make just about anything you can imagine. I highly recommend Artisan. read more

I was referred to Artisan Outdoor by a garden planner, as one of the garden styles this company plants is an English Garden. When it came to the day of the planting, they did it in one day, as well as put down two small areas of sod. The workers were professional, did a great job of cleaning up afterwards, and made sure I was happy before they left. Chuck, the field manager, has been great about checking back to make sure I was happy, and that things were doing well. I had a couple of problems with some of the sod, and he made certain that it was replaced immediately, and helped me to understand how much to water, how often, etc. I highly recommed Artisan Outdoor for your landscaping and planting needs--they are a great company and have wonderful people who work with you to make sure what you envision becomes a reality. read more
