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.

His crew was extremely professional and always kept the work area safe, clean, and organized. John was also very responsive throughout the entire project. He was always willing to answer my questions and never hesitated to take my calls. The craftsmanship of his skilled workers was second to none. One thing that really stood out to me was John's attention to detail. He notices and takes care of the small things that a homeowner may not even think to look for, and that attention to detail made a big difference in the finished product. We couldn't be happier with the work and would absolutely recommend John and his company to anyone looking for a contractor who takes pride in his work and truly cares about the finished product.

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.

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.

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!

The team were very easy to work with honest and excellent at execution. They in fact advised me to demolish the existing Foundation and build a new one. I was especially surprised at this because most of the contractors try to cut costs and get the job done.

I haven't had any leaks or issues since then, despite several months of rain. I would highly recommend them

We also decided at the last minute to add a retaining wall. Manuel was our go-to person throughout the entire process. He was incredibly patient and accommodating, answering all of our questions quickly via text and email. He really understood our vision and made sure every requirement and price quote was accurately reflected in the contract. His crew was led by Jose, who did a thorough and beautiful job installing the pavers, retaining wall, lighting, and drip lines. Though a minor language barrier caused a few quick miscommunications, Manuel was on-site almost every day of the 1.5-week project to keep everything running smoothly. We are so excited to start adding plants and accessories to our gorgeous new yard! We highly recommend Black Diamond. (Note: We chose Belgard Quarry Sandstone for a rugged, multi-color paver look, and Belgard Catalina Grana in cinder block gray for the retaining wall.)

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.

We wanted to create a special place to relax and enjoy ourselves. In the course of my research a local landscape design business stood out. This was Traina Thought Landsacpes. It was almost too easy. They were everything we wanted. Their IG was impressive. Great reviews. So we were all in. And what a great decision. Jason and Kellen Traina are amazing. And just as amazing are their crew - foreman Jason, Haiden, and Shawn. Truly craftsmen. Start to finish the project was enjoyable and exciting. We worked with Jason to bring our vision to life. His enthusiasm and knowledge made us feel confident about our choices. It became a shared vision. He took time to show us materials, make suggestions, and work through revisions of our plan until it was right. Kellen kept us on track. She is my favorite emailer ever! Always cheerful and positive. Both Kellen and Jason worked with our budget to make it all happen. Our humble weed-choked patch of earth became our oasis. We now have two amazing water features, lovely drought tolerant plantings, and a unique sophisticated yard that could be featured in any landscape design showcase. Jason got our vision on paper and it was Traina's tremendous team that brought it to life. Foreman Jason along with Haiden and Shawn amazed us every day with what they accomplished. Day by day they transformed our space. They are super nice guys, very considerate, and truly craftsmen. The entire Traina team changed our lives for the better. We feel that it's worth the money and time to engage Traina Thought Landscapes. For a unique and personal space its worth the investment.
