Well, here I am more than a decade out from Brendon East's first job at our house in late 2013. He…read morejust completed his fourth project here and, so I figure it's time for an update. Honestly, Brendon and his crew are so easy to work with and are so bent on customer satisfaction, we couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Our latest project was initiated by the desire to make our house more fire-resistant. With the guidance of Brendon and landscape architect Brian Brodersen, we tore out many plants next to the house, got rid of all the bark, and put in fire-resistant plants like agaves, succulents, and Lomandra longifolia 'Platinum Beauty,' a beautiful low maintenance grass considered fire-wise. With plant knowledge, your fire-resistant & drought tolerant landscape doesn't have to be all succulents and cactus. We no longer have any grass to mow/fertilize/water, and we happen to find our grassless landscape more interesting to look at. The gravel is not only fire-safe, but gives a much more polished, finished look, and we elected to have weed-cloth installed beneath the gravel. Please check out the photos below. Since the new plants are so tiny, I've included pictures of older plantings, too.

Brendon and his crew with Channel Islands Landscape Design are amazing! I originally called Brendon…read moreto get an estimate and some ideas for what to do with a dangerous and leaking former koi pond that we inherited when we bought our home. He came over, talked us through options and gave us his honest opinions on how to make the space functional and safe for our family. He had great ideas on how to reuse some of the same hardscape materials while landscaping with native and drought tolerant plants. Once the project started, his crew worked efficiently and quickly to get the multi-day project finished. They were all super respectful of our space, and Brendon kept us updated and worked with us on the design. His crew also identified two major leaks, repaired those and even helped manage and correct our irrigation system all while helping us make cost saving choices. Our new backyard area turned out beautifully and we could not be happier with our new space!

I contacted Porfirio shortly after the purchase of this new home. He was very responsive. We shared…read moreour ideas for the landscaping to the backyard. Sketches were provided to Porfirio giving him our ideas. He was great about getting back to us with the various types of materials he could use for the deck, the side yard pavers and rocks, as well as the new irrigation system. He provided several alternatives to pick from, including colors, sizes, and dimensions. I really appreciated his way of doing business and the manner he conducted himself. When the project started he and his staff were wonderful at keeping the property clean after they left each day. Communication throughout the project was outstanding. It was clear he paid attention to detail and everything his crew did was done very professionally. We are very satisfied with the end result. I would definitely hire him again if the need arises. The price was also fair and reasonable. There are so many other reviews on here saying the same thing about great communication, professional quality and outstanding attention to detail. We agree wholeheartedly.

My backyard was an eyesore and was the only section of the house that needed to be done after I…read morepurchased it. I contacted several landscaping companies, and luckily, I came across P&I Landscaping. Porforio was very responsive and kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. I had a rough idea of how I wanted my backyard to look, and he was able to provide a very professional sketch/design in a timely manner. He offered suggestions and always made sure to run it by me first. He was very patient and answered all the questions I had. Porfirio and his team transformed my backyard into a portion of the house I am very proud of showing off! Pricing is fair for the quality of landscaping that you will get. They even offer a one year warranty on all plants/sprinkler systems.

We had the absolute best experience working with Maria and Jaime on our backyard. Their level of…read moreexpertise truly shows, but what stood out even more was how thoughtful and collaborative they were throughout the entire process. Maria is the heart of the team. She has an incredible eye and helped us select plants that not only look beautiful but actually make sense for the space. She listened carefully, guided us when we were unsure, and made the whole experience feel exciting and personal. Jaime and his team are the brains and the muscle behind it all. Every detail was considered. From placing rocks along the edge of the concrete to help everything blend naturally, to selecting the perfect pottery and plant placement, nothing felt rushed or overlooked. You can tell they take pride in their work. They walked us through each step, answered every question, and gave clear, honest recommendations. We never felt upsold or pressured. Their pricing is very reasonable, and you are truly paying for their experience, knowledge, and care. We could not be happier with the outcome and would recommend Maria and Jaime without hesitation. Our backyard feels intentional, polished, and thoughtfully designed because of them.

Good luck trying to get someone out for a consult. Had an appointment for a consult, they couldn't…read moremake it and rescheduled for a different day. That was fine because they had called ahead of time to let us know. Then on the rescheduled appointment, they were a no call no show. We had called to see what happened, and apparently the appointment was put in wrong and they weren't aware of it until we had pointed it out. So... we had rescheduled for a 2nd time (3rd appt). Again, no call no show. At least give us a heads up if you can't make your appointment, that would be courteous and professional. Not like we had put aside other things to be able to make the appointment happen. If you can't keep your word and come on a set day and time, what else would fall off if we decided to hire you?
