Small yard? No worries, Brookside has your back!…read more If you buy new construction these days you can pretty much kiss that yard space goodbye. Finding ourselves in this situation, we needed a team that could transform our "cozy" yard into a comfortable yet elevated outdoor living space. Enter Brookside. You know that feeling when you hire someone to do a big home project and hope that everything goes well, but you kind of hold your breath in the event that something goes awry? That won't happen with Brookside. From our initial call to the thanks-for-everything completion hand shake, they didn't skip a beat. Everything went SO smooth and communication was on point the entire time. Brookside is a well oiled machine. The conversations between us, Brooks and Jenny, and the crew were fluid the entire time and no one was ever in the dark about the plan. On top of that, everyone was so personable and professional. These guys are hard workers and leave your space clean and organized at the end of every day. We were so happy with how our space turned out. Brookside took our basic ideas for hardscape and softscape to the next level and created a beautiful designer yard. We would hire Brookside again in a heartbeat- and you should too!

Brookside Landscape Design did a phenomenal job. Our backyard went from the typical small, suburban…read morebackyard to a sophisticated and luscious landscape that looks like it belongs as a hotel lounge. Brooks and Jenny at Brookside have such a creative and and beautiful aesthetic that we never could have imagined on our own. Their attention to detail is amazing, and their design concept was truly everything we wanted. Even though we have a small yard, they were able to make it look so much larger by moving things around and creating a better flow. It seriously looks like we added square footage. All of the plants that they chose for our yard are so beautiful and unique. Everyone that comes by wants to know what each plant is called because they aren't the very common yard plants that everyone has...they are so interesting! They chose the foliage specifically for what they knew would grow well in our area and with the sunlight for each side of the house. Thoughtfulness went into every aspect of each item they added...from the plants, to the wood and stone for the built in bbq, the special market lights (that are really unique and fun), all the way to the treated concrete. Everything looks like a step above! The work process was easy, and the crews that showed up every day were gracious, kind, friendly and hard working. Over the weeks we got to know the workers, and it was a sad day when it finished and we knew they would not be showing up again every morning. Even our 5 year old knew their names and would announce to us each day who had shown up in the morning. Jenny and Brooks were also very friendly and kind, and were a joy to work with. Such a great team. I have already been showing off their hard work to our neighbors, who are very impressed with the amazing results! Hopefully they will be in our neighborhood working again soon!

We hired Fredrickson Landscape strictly for design work on our Altadena / Eaton Canyon property,…read moreand 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.

The whole team even took an old playhouse and redesigned it safely for our kids on the hill. Matt's design, attention to detail, and the time he took with our project was above and beyond. He answered every call and text quickly. I couldn't have asked for more. I've already recommended SD3D to all of my neighbors, and recommend them for small or large projects.

We had the pleasure to work with Beyond Remodeling and their fantastic project managers, Ariel and Omri to create our beautiful backyard! From the consult to the final walk through, their work and communication were consistent and incredible. They listened to what we wanted and also gave us advice on what would look good. We got excellent value for what we paid for. We requested the river rocks in our walkway, the 3-hole putting green, new pavers for entertainment, and a pergola for shade. They did an amazing job and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking to remodel or renovate their backyard or front yard!

After accepting the estimate, he and his crew started the next day. The yard needed a good clean-up, including the removal or trimming of some small trees/bushes along with some other plants. He also added another layer of decomposed granite (DG) to the whole yard. He kept me informed throughout the project and provided receipts for the DG, along with the additive we decided to add to the DG. I'm very pleased with the end result. I will definitely use Lara Landscaping again and would recommend them to family and friends.

Once we agreed on terms, he immediately wrote a contract for us to review with a detailed timeline of when the phases would be completed. He was INCREDIBLY punctual whenever he would arrive at our home. When he says he'll be here at 7AM, he's literally pulling into the driveway at 6:59AM. Materials were also delivered in a timely manner, and once they were done for the day, they cleaned up after themselves to the point where you forgot they were there in the first place. Even with rain, Chris and his team were able to finish the project ahead of schedule. Overall, we were impressed with the quality of work and love how everything turned out. We will definitely be using them for all future yard projects moving forward.
