We can't say enough good things about Ben and his team at Fredrickson Landscape! We started the design process for our front and backyard in February, and the entire project -- from initial concept through installation, which just wrapped up last week -- was smooth from start to finish. Ben was incredibly easy to work with and kept us updated every step of the way. He also helped us coordinate and manage multiple other contractors, which made the whole process so much less stressful. His knowledge of plants that thrive in our area was invaluable, and his network of contacts made a real difference in the quality of the final result. Our yard is everything we were dreaming of -- we absolutely love it. Highly recommend Ben and his team for anyone considering a landscape project! read more

Ben and crew, from the inception of our complete front yard landscape overhaul, to completion, were spot on! From the design to the recommended changes to the actual installation, they are with you every step of the way. His design team took our ideas and turned them into a reality beyond what we had expected. Our house is now the talk of the neighborhood, lol!!! Get Ben Fredrickson to design and install your landscaping!!! You can thank me later. Dr. JM read more

We hired Fredrickson Landscape strictly for design work on our Altadena / Eaton Canyon property, and they exceeded every expectation. Ben brought a perfect blend of creativity and practicality to the project. He helped us work through ideas for bark vs. rock swale areas, oak-friendly deck details, plant massing, River Wattle spacing, fencing and gate options, and even long-term maintenance considerations. The design is beautiful, functional, and perfectly aligned with the modern-Mediterranean feel of our home. Although the installation was done by another contractor, the clarity of Ben's drawings and notes made their job significantly easier -- everything was laid out so cleanly that there was almost no guesswork during the build. If you want a landscape designer who is thorough, communicative, and genuinely invested in making your space both stunning and practical, I highly recommend Fredrickson Landscape. The design alone made a huge impact on the final outcome of our yard. read more

Ben is total standup guy, everything from his enthusiasm in designing your dreamscape, to ensuring the job is completed with the highest standards across the board, he's numero uno in my book. He'll even go beyond the scope of the job and provide wisdom and recommendations for ideas on how to furnish or decorate the landscape once the job's complete. His crew is very knowledgeable and hardworking and happily accommodated a few tweaks requested throughout the project. The end result was a job well done, worth every penny spent. The only tip for others I'll mention is to get on his schedule sooner than later because it can be booked out a couple months (which is only a testament to how sought after his company's services are!).

We hired Ben and his design team for a virtual landscape design. Throughout the entire process they were super accommodating and quick to answer any questions that arised. They were great communicators and listened carefully to our ideas, needs, and style for our yard. Could not be more happy with our design and cannot wait to finally complete the work and enjoy the overhauled space! read more

What can I say about Ben and his team? Fantastic, responsive, professional, and creative are a few things that come to mind. My wife ran across Fredrickson Landscaping on IG and said if we could get them to do our landscaping that we have been literally languishing over for two years she said she would just let him do it no questions asked. I took that as a challenge and got Ben out to look at the project. I got the quote the next day, signed and accepted. They put me into the schedule which was two months out since they are so busy. They then said we have an earlier opening which was about a month sooner and they were out. The did a fantastic job. My wife loves it. They even found the perfect tree as you can see in the photo. Been took days to find this sending us pictures of options until he came up with the perfect match. They installed lighting (no idea how he was able to run that wiring to all my locations) sprinklers, plants, ground cover, rocks. They did it all and they did it right, clean and fast. Men... Let me just tell you, you know how your wife is saying I need something here, I cant explain it but when I see or hear it Ill know it? We stand there like what the heck are you saying? Ben knows what she is saying and even better HE KNOWS THE ANSWER. Ben is that guy, Fredrickson is that company that you have been looking for. Great service, Great price, Great Guy, Great Product. read more

We hired Ben and his team for design only since we're in NorCal (Bay Area-ish). We'd tried a few options (including Yardzen) and nothing really clicked, either the designs felt flat, plants proposed didn't make sense to my location/zone, or they came in way over budget. Ben's work immediately stood out. The quality of design is on another level, and he brought great energy, knowledge, and passion to every touchpoint. You can see it in the final plan. What we appreciated most is how thoughtfully they designed around how we actually use our backyard and stayed anchored to our real budget. In past experiences, designs would look nice but explode once we got contractor bids. This time, the design feels exciting, functional, and fell within our budget when we got our bids. Thank you Ben and team, you and the team are amazing. We'll be cheering you on from the sidelines and following all the beautiful work you all share on social! read more

It's been a few weeks since we had our backyard redone and we've been happy with the results. We opted for the onside design + install, so we took a risk by not seeing a landscape plan, but Ben was very detailed in his vision and they delivered. We also worked through making adjustments to fit our budget and there were no hidden costs. Ben was very straightforward with us and for my money, that goes a long way! read more

After Ben did an amazing job at our backyard, we hired him and his team for a bigger project. Ben helped us throughout the whole process, was very patient with all our requests and adjustments and created a beautiful low-maintenance landscape in front of our house, that met our HOA needs. I highly recommend Ben and his team to anyone looking to transform their landscape into something truly unique! Their love for their work is demonstrated in the beautiful results they deliver. read more

We had a rough idea of things we wanted and didn't want at the start, but Ben's expertise and vision guided us to something we couldn't have even imagined on our own.

We recently had the pleasure of having Fredrickson landscaping landscape part of our backyard. Ben was very accommodating with our budget. He also made some great suggestions in the planning of our yard. We really appreciated his crew coming out to Menifee. The entire crew, Josiah, Gabriel, Santiago, Eddie and Lorenzo were such hard workers and very meticulous, polite, and knowledgeable. The entire process went so smooth from start to finish. Communication was excellent. We are very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Frerickson Landscape to anyone seeking quality work with a beautiful outcome. We have more projects ahead! read more

I couldn't be happier with what Ben and his crew did to make my backyard look amazing. So sleek, modern, clean, and most of all low maintenance!

I would definitely hire Ben again! read more

The first time I saw the Frederickson Landscape team's work was on my friend's front yard in Poway, San Diego. It is so well done and beautiful. I began following their Instagram profile long before I had my own yard because I knew I'd be reaching out one day. In December 2023, I got my chance to reach out and had an exploratory discussion with Ben about what to even expect when it came to landscape/hardscape and design. He was honest about it, and for that I'm thankful because it gave me a foundation to work with when collecting quotes. Our home is a new build and we did not have our move-in date until April 2024. Ben made it a point to keep in contact and to take a look at the property with us prior to moving in so we could get a better idea on pricing, have a design made and get on his schedule all within 3 months (there's a wait if you want to work with the best! But, it was so worth it.) Ben ended up being the most competitive when comparing price to the whole package (design plan + hardscape + landscape) and was super responsive, answered all my questions and most importantly kept all our 'wants' in mind (we needed budget-friendly space perfect for our guests, kids, dog, and bbqing). Compared to some of our other neighbors who hired different companies that took up to 6 weeks to complete, Ben and his team knocked out our project in a total of 4.5 days. We were enjoying our backyard in no time, and WOW it's beautiful and so very functional we absolutely love it. Every time I go out there we have a 'pinch me' moment because it's a dream. We have received so many compliments and the quality of work, plants, etc speak for itself. We had a small correction made to the turf where it was cut as there was a .5 inch gap that didn't look seamless. Ben made sure to recognize it (we didn't point it out to him) and came back within 6 weeks to complete. He brought a small team to correct it (took about 1/2 a day) and it is perfectly seamless now. We just want to give our thanks to this whole team for all that they do because they work very hard, are honest, friendly, do great work and clearly have the experience and creativity that other companies lack. Money well spent. I would use Frederickson's design 100x's over and will recommend all my friends and family to use them too. THANK YOU! read more

Prior to getting Fredrickson Landscape's services, our backyard was mainly made up of dirt, weeds, and dead grass. We finally have a beautiful, usable, and low-maintenance backyard. Ben is professional, passionate, and very responsive. He was communicative about scheduling and direct about quotes, design, and materials being used. We trusted Ben's input and are happy with the results. read more

Fredrickson Landscape Inc - New grass with rock bed border. - Landscaping Near Me

Where do I start with Ben... I first contacted him and a few other landscaping companies when I was ready to re-do our backyard. From the minute I met Ben he was professional, enthusiastic, and never made me feel like my budget or my project was too small for him to do. Once we agreed to work together he made multiple visits to my house to discuss the concept before starting. Once he started our project, he was extremely communicative, was on time every day and also on time for the length of the whole project and kept everything nice and clean at the end of the day. I think where Fredrickson Landscape really shines is what happens AFTER the install. He makes it known that he is always available to answer questions, come plant new plants, fix dying plants, etc. He even came to my house to fix leaking that was coming from the irrigation system... now what contractor do you know is willing to help and fix things after they are done with the project without, none I know! Ben stayed within our budget and gave us the most beautiful backyard. My husband and I plan to continue to work with Ben with additions we want to make to out backyard in the future. Lastly, he is open and honest about what is within his scope of work, and if it is outside of that he has a network of professionals who can get the job done. Thank you Ben and Fredrickson Landscape for being so awesome and for making our backyard dreams come true! If you are looking for someone to do your spoftscaping look no further! read more

Ben was a pleasure to work with, start to finish. I contacted him to redesign the small backyard of my townhouse. We walked through the design together, he listened to my ideas, and gave me his expert opinion. He always kept me updated on where we were in the process and was able to complete the work earlier than expected. I couldn't be happier with the end result! It looks better than I imagined! Ben and his team were the consummate professionals! They arrived on time, executed the design as planned, and left my yard clean, ready for me to use! I would highly recommend Fredrickson Landscape for your project! I would definitely use them again! read more

Ben did a great bringing our backyard refresh to life! We gave Ben full creative control and he ran with the on-site design and install from start to finish. He spent time to understand our budget, goals, and created a plan that was aesthetically beautiful while identifying plants that aligned with our needs to be low maintenance, drought tolerant, and budget friendly. Ben and his team were professional, communicative, organized, and worked hard to wrap up the install in a few short days. We are very happy with the results and are excited to work with Ben on future projects! read more

Was so pleased with Ben and his team! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Wanted to redo our front yard and he made some great suggestions. Even moved a tree from the side of our house that was getting zero attention and made it look great in the front yard! They also removed a giant hedge that I hated and was just getting overgrown. Overall, A+! If you're thinking of landscaping work, give them a call. read more

We wanted a hardscape/xeriscape in our front yard. Specifically, a dry river running the length of our property. I surfed the web, looking at 100s & 100s of photos of every dry river installation imaginable. One really stuck with me; nothing else compared. After serious sleuthing, found the same photo on Fredrickson Landscaping's website (fredricksonlandscape.com/on-the-river-bonsall). I contacted Ben and soon we were scheduled for an installation. Here's what I like about having him create our hardscape: * He has a natural eye for dry river design, an intuitive knowledge of how water would sculpt the placement of rocks and boulders. He's as much an artist as a landscaper. My neighbors have expressed their admiration. I can't stop admiring the work. * He does good business. He's super prompt about returning calls and emails. He keeps in touch, shows up when he says he will. His website is useful and kept up-to-date. There are no cobwebs on his blog. He's also a nice guy, a good listener, and easy to work with. His crew was polite and hardworking. * His price was right for the value received. read more

I found Fredrickson Landscape on Instagram and was immediately taken with the work of Ben and his team. Everything they touch turns to landscaping goals. When I realized that they were actually based in North County and I could hire them, I immediately sent an email. The experience was everything I hoped it would be, from the first email to the first call to the first visit to the collaborative process to the moment the project was finished. As new homeowners, my husband and I were intimidated by completely overhauling our front yard ourselves, which had been dead grass since we moved in a few years ago. We knew landscaping would be the biggest transformation and decided to invest in it. Amazingly, our yard was done in just one day. Talk about instant gratification! The before and after photos speak for themselves. Ben is incredibly knowledgable about all things landscaping and his excitement and creativity shines through in how he works with his clients. I loved his "design onsite" approach and how he listened to my requests but also infused his expertise and design know how into it. He was great to work with, and I would trust him and his team again and again for all my future landscaping needs. I've also already recommended him to friends and family. read more

Ben and his team did an awesome job transforming our yard from basically rocks and weeds to a modern esthetic. I had initially contacted Fredrickson almost 9 months ago and they were super responsive and easy to work with. We started with a layout design which showed in detail the vision and budget for the project.

Overall, highly recommend Fredrickson Landscape and we plan to use them again for our back yard! read more

10/10, can't recommend enough. Truly. We live in a boring track home new build neighborhood and everyone is getting their landscaping done by the same few companies leading to all the homes looking even more boring and identical. Not ours!!! All thanks to Ben & his crew! Fave things about working with him: you can talk to him like a real human, he doesn't BS you, he knows his plants & will teach you how to keep them alive and well, he's got the dang best eye for modern coastal Mediterranean epicness. Ben's the best. You won't be upset with your decision to work with him. read more

I never got the chance to use Frederickson's Landscape. He responded promptly to my initial inquiry, but when trying to schedule a home visit to get an estimate, he failed to get back to me after 2-3 attempts. He claimed he called and left a voicemail message but I never received it. When I texted him once more to try and set up a date, he didn't respond. I gave up. read more

We are so glad we hired Ben and he crew to redo our front yard. Our front yard was boring, plain, and unattractive and Ben and his guys completely transformed it.

Our oddly shaped front yard was such a mess and a challenge that so many landscape companies wanted to rip everything out (new concrete pathway, new sprinklers etc.) and start with a clean slate to make their jobs easier at our expense. Fredrickson landscape was the only one that creatively used what we had to make a unique and functionally beautiful yard that met our needs. Ben really listened to what we wanted and never tried to upsell us on anything. He was very honest and easy to communicate with and his crew was just the same. Very polite, diligent men that take pride in their work. Bonus: they do not play loud music while they work which is super important when kids are napping and people are on a work call. With Fredrickson landscape, you get top quality at a very reasonable price. They value their work so much that they even placed slow-release plant food in each plant and told me I can reach out if I have any concerns about how they are growing. Neighbors can't stop complimenting at how amazing our yard looks and it's exceeded any expectation we had. I highly recommend Fredrickson Landscape and without hesitation would use them in future projects. read more

Just an amazing experience with Ben and his team at Fredrickson Landscape, I could never run out of good things to say. My home was in desperate need for a front and backyard landscape makeover, so I began my search. I initially found Ben on Instagram and was immediately drawn in by the beautiful portfolio of work (and specialization in low maintenance, drought tolerant plants which I knew I wanted). I am a heavy reader of reviews in advance of projects like this, and in doing so I was so impressed by just how consistently positive the reviews of Ben and his team were. And not just simple star ratings, detailed thoughts about what makes them so great. The best measure of any business is their customer testimonials, so I decided to go with them. Looking back, I am so happy that I did. From start to finish, Ben was there to address any questions or concerns I had, and his communication and transparency assured that there were no surprises. As someone who can often be indecisive, I needed someone like Ben who could make thoughtful suggestions and help bring what was in my head to life. Everything from the consult, to design, to installation, to cleanup went seamlessly and proved that these guys are experts at what they do. The project officially wrapped up last week and I (and all my neighbors from what they have told me) am absolutely thrilled with the way it turned out. Such an amazing upgrade for the home and worth every penny. Case in point, Ben and his team are simply the best out there. Cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking to make landscape improvements to their home. Thank you! read more

I cannot recommend Fredrickson Landscape enough!  In the past two years I've worked with three different landscape contractors and Ben is by far the best in the business - my guy for all landscaping needs in the future. Ben was very mindful and open with the design, budget, and timeline. He went out his way to source the best plants (even found our dream olive tree), and made sure everything was designed, planted, and irrigated properly. Ben was also very communicative throughout the process - I always knew what was happening and he was happy to answer questions and provide recommendations. The crew is extremely polite, clean, and professional. The site was always kept clean, well maintained, and looked absolutely beautiful when they finished. read more

This is the absolute best company to use if you want your landscape to look amazing! Ben and his team are great to work with.

Ben and his crew helped us to build our dream backyard and we couldn't be happier. My husband and I had so many ideas of what we wanted to do to our backyard and with Ben's creative eye and style he helped us to create a masterpiece. The dry riverbeds are truly an artwork and his plant choice was spot on. It's been about two months since the landscaping was completed and the plants have started to grow and fill in so nicely. A few weeks ago his crew installed lighting and now we can enjoy the beauty of our yard at night too. Ben and his crew are professional and so easy to work with. Our next project will be our front yard and we will be using Fredrickson Landscape again. I highly recommend Fredrickson Landscape to anyone looking for a more updated and drought resistant landscape. read more

You wont find many people more passionate about their job than Ben Fredrickson. Ben was engaged from our first meeting when we started building out the vision for our landscaping project until the final plant was in the ground. We went into this project with a rough idea of what we wanted and Ben made it very easy to bounce ideas around and land on plant material that was within our budget and fit with the style of our home. The demo work was detailed, the install itself was very professional/timely and Ben was involved in every step of the process. The entire crew at Fredrickson Landscape works very hard and was never sitting around. They all seemed to know their roles and kept the project moving along at a fast pace. In the end we were extremely happy with the final product and came in on budget. It was an absolute pleasure working with Ben and his team and I would highly recommend his services to anyone who wants to increase the value of their home at a reasonable cost. We have neighbors stopping us on a weekly basis commenting on the finished project. Ben made our house stand out on the block and for that we are very thankful and appreciative. read more

Our front yard needed some attention, so I called Ben from Fredrickson and he came over a few days later to discuss options and provide a quote. The company has been very responsive and Ben is very knowledgeable and great to deal with. We were very happy with the suggestions and quote provided. I really like that they tackle both, large and small projects. Ben asked to look at a Pinterest board with ideas we had in mind and the company also provides an idea board. I felt that they really want to help us as the customer to get the design we like and had in mind. Ultimately we needed to first solve some other construction issues before we can proceed with the landscaping part of the project but I can highly recommend Ben and his team and wouldn't hesitate to call him again in the future if we decide to rip out the front lawn to save water. read more
