    before, looking down

    We hired Mathew to redo our front yard last year, when it was just a collection of english ivy and 40 year old juniper. Mathew was always responsive, worked with my wife and I to incorporate our design ideas, and came through within the time and budget that he promised and the results were way beyond our expectations. Mathew told us that the yard would looks its best several years after planting when all the plants grew in; so far its only been a year and it looks amazing. We get compliments on a weekly basis from complete strangers. Best of all, its all native plants, and Mathew and his team still come by on a monthly basis to maintain it, adjust the water settings and make sure everything is looking tip top.

    A year after Matt redid our garden, we're sill getting compliments on it -- and the neighbors are trying keeping up. ;-) The process of working with Matt was great. I showed him photos of gardens I liked, and we talked about what we wanted. Based on that, he created a wonderful garden oasis that took advantage of the neighboring trees and used plants that blended well with those. Even our aesthetic tree pruner friend, who's very critical of gardens, was so impressed that she recommends Matt to all her clients now. Under his continued maintenance, the garden is growing in beautifully. I'm so glad we found Matt and Farallon Gardens!

    We're writing to share the amazing experience we've had with Farallon Gardens! We hired Mathew approximately one year ago to do a couple landscaping projects for our home in the Berkeley Hills. The projects involved replacing several areas of old, overgrown plants with grasses and succulents to give those areas a clean, fresh appearance. When we engaged Mathew for these projects, he came up with an excellent vision and a cohesive plan for re-designing our landscape. As he shared his vision with us, he was also careful to listen to our ideas and aesthetics and fold them into the overall plan. We live on a quiet street in the hills where many people bike or walk. We are always receiving compliments about our yard from people walking by when we happen to be outside enjoying our yard. We have several more projects planned for other parts of our property and are looking forward to having Mathew redesign those areas. If you are looking for an outstanding, artistic landscape design, we most enthusiastically recommend Mathew and Farallon Gardens for your project!

    D Garcia Landscaping completed a large fence project for us and we are extremely happy with the…read moreresults! This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

    Dago and his team are amazing! They have been maintaining our yards in El Sobrante for a few years…read moreand always to a wonderful job. They are friendly, and always go above and beyond. Recently, we had them to a full conversion/remodel of our backyard from awful weeds to nice natural grass, with an irrigation system, mulch, and tasteful plants. I was amazed with both how well it came out, and how affordable the project was! I would HIGHLY recommend using Dago Garcia's team for either regular yard maintenance, or any yard project you have in mind. Dago has decades of experience and knows exactly what he is doing- he is super friendly and helped us with great ideas. Give Dago a call!
