We tried to schedule a 60 minute consultation with Matt with the intent of gauging whether we…read moreshould engage his full design service. We ran into some difficulties at the start due to a last-minute cancellation by Matt and some unresponsiveness through email. When we voiced our concerns, Matt really stepped up to ensure our concerns were met. He immediately refunded us for the cost of the service, and he offered to meet with us at no cost. We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!

We did a 75 minute Virtual Design consultation with Matt at Water and Earth earlier this year. Our…read morebackyard project wasn't quite large enough in size or scope for his full in-person design services. The virtual call was perfect for our project, we provided Matt with pictures of the backyard space as well as a video walkthrough. He took this information as well as our preferences for how we envisioned the space to be used to come up with a 2D design. He also recommended materials and local contractors. We contacted one of the contractors a few weeks later and finished the project with them in about 2 months. I highly recommend the Virtual Consultation for smaller projects with Matt. His feedback for our questions and experience with similar projects were very beneficial to starting this backyard project for us.

Vision to Completion was fantastic to work with! Yaniv and Achva designed my backyard, front yard,…read moreand side yard with incredible creativity and patience. Their unlimited revisions were a huge advantage for someone like me who loves diving deep into design details. Achva's design instincts are spot on -- her guidance on the louvre placement and overall layout truly elevated the space. They also suggested furniture pieces and styling ideas, which helped me make great choices when I did my own shopping. Their recommended contractors were excellent, but the pricing was higher than I expected. To stay within budget, I decided to manage the entire project myself with separate contractors. The final design had replaced the custom fountain with a more budget-friendly option, but on request they were kind enough to share the original custom fountain design, which I built with my contractor at a much lower price. The whole project was very time consuming and hard work, but it saved a lot of cost, and the result was incredibly rewarding. Due to some misunderstandings, we decided to part ways amicable, so they couldn't continue with the front/side yard phase -- but they still provided the initial concepts that I can use in the future. Overall, Vision to Completion delivered a thoughtful, contemporary design that became the blueprint for a transformation I'm truly proud of. Highly recommended for anyone who wants creative, flexible, and detail oriented landscape designers. I have attached a few images of their initial concept and the final backyard images to show the transformation!

It's rare to come across a team as responsive and thoughtful as Antonio and Erica. We reached out…read moreto several landscapers for our project, and they stood out from the very beginning. Erica was incredibly responsive, and Antonio was knowledgeable, flexible, and genuinely wonderful to work with. We had a drainage issue in our backyard, and they took the time to create diagrams explaining their recommendations, which made the options easy to understand and gave us a lot of confidence in their approach. They did the same when helping us choose our gates - taking the time to understand our needs while offering practical options and guidance. These details really showed us how much they care about getting things right for their clients. We truly appreciated all the time and effort they put into helping us. If you're looking for a landscaper, just reach out to them - you'll see exactly why we were so impressed!

Every detail was thoughtfully executed and finished to an exceptionally high standard. The crew was professional, reliable, respectful of our property, and consistently kept the project moving on schedule. What really stood out was the attention to detail--everything was done carefully and correctly, rather than simply getting the job done. The finished project looks fantastic and has completely transformed our backyard. Southbay Design and Landscaping did a world-class job, and we would hire them again without hesitation. If you're considering a landscape project, I would strongly recommend talking to Southbay. Their quality of work, professionalism, and execution are exceptional.

Recently, my front yard had to be dug up for a sewer line repair and installation project. I contacted Black Diamond and worked with Chavalah Mathieson to restore the synthetic grass and pavers. My experience with Chavalah and the Black Diamond team was outstanding. I'm extremely happy with the customer service, scheduling, and repair work. A special shoutout to Ruben, Ideliah, and their crew for their stellar craftsmanship -- they truly brought my yard back to life. Chavalah is one of the top three customer service professionals I've ever worked with. She listens intently, is tenacious, highly intelligent, professional, and personable. Even while juggling multiple customers and projects, she makes you feel like your project is her sole focus. Her crews arrive on time and complete their work with precision. The level of service Chavalah and Black Diamond provide from beginning to end is unparalleled. Thank you for re-beautifying my yard."

After interviewing several landscaping design firms, we chose to engage Taylor at Applewood for our…read morefront and backyard landscaping project. From the very first phone call, we could tell he knew his craft. He spent generous time listening to our wish list and understanding our vision, explaining the design/build timeline, and answering every "what if" we threw his way. We also loved his design work in his portfolio of course. Shortly after we engaged Taylor, he was on site taking detailed measurements, photos, and even drone shots of our entire front and backyard. He flagged any potential sloping issues, suggested realistic solutions, and connected us to his trusted referral that could further help us. Any time we had follow up questions, he made himself available and responded quickly - no hard sell, just clear information. Although we weren't able to go forward with the full project due to unexpected yard and budget constraints, Taylor handled the change with total professionalism and never made us feel pressured. The insight we gained from his preliminary work was helpful and will be very useful for when we decide to continue with the project in the future. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely easy-to-work-with design partner, we'd highly recommend giving Taylor at Applewood a call.

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.
