One of the things that drew us to Herencia was that they're a small, family-owned business. We also…read morereally liked their approach to outdoor spaces - making them beautiful, but also practical and designed around how you'll actually use them. Jonathan and team completely transformed our backyard in under a month. They installed a new lawn, TimberTech deck, native plants, irrigation and drainage, lighting, and tied our existing front-yard irrigation into the new system. The design process was easy and affordable, and Jonathan was on site every day. He was communicative, thoughtful, and paid attention to the little details throughout the project. The whole crew was great to have around and kept everything clean at the end of each day. They even did a thorough final cleanup of the windows and doors around the yard. What we appreciated most was that their care didn't stop once the project was finished. They came back to fix a faulty sprinkler head and later trenched along the grass by the deck when we realized skunks were trying to get underneath. We love how the backyard turned out and how much more we actually use the space now. We'd absolutely recommend Herencia and happily work with Jonathan and team again.

I found them on Yelp and chose them after getting four other quotes. From the beginning, they stood out for their professionalism, responsiveness, detailed proposal, and fair pricing. Ale was fantastic to work with. She was quick to respond, answered all my questions, and made what could have been a stressful project feel smooth and well organized. Once construction started, Jonathan and his team were excellent. They arrive promptly each day and cleanup well. Jonathan is knowledgeable, professional, and clearly takes pride in his work. What stood out most was his communication and transparency. He provided daily updates, either by text or in person, walking me through the progress and explaining what was coming next, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the project. I also really appreciated his fantastic customer service and follow-through. For example, the game light I purchased arrived broken from the manufacturer, and Jonathan came back promptly after the project was finished to install the replacement once it arrived. The entire project took about a week, and the final result exceeded my expectations. The court and surrounding landscaping look amazing, drain properly, and have completely transformed our backyard. Seeing my son excited to play on it every day makes it even more worth it. I highly recommend Herencia Landscaping to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable, and professional outdoor work. I would definitely hire them again.

From start to…read morefinish, their team demonstrated exceptional vision, especially given the unique challenges of our site. They truly listened to our preferences and integrated our personal style into the design, creating a beautiful pool, hot tub area and backyard area that even exceeded our expectations.

Any minor issue that arose was addressed immediately and effectively. We recommend calling Garden View if you're planning to put in a pool, especially if you have a challenging space that requires creative solutions.

What was once boring and ordinary now looks like a beautiful park, complete with a gorgeous pool and spa, beautiful plants, trees, and flowers. The pool has been so refreshing this summer, I am grateful that Mark suggested the pool, when I originally only wanted the spa. As everything has grown in, the transformation has become even more amazing. We constantly have people commenting on how beautiful our yard is, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Garden View also handled the installation of our Studio Shed pre-fabbed ADU and we were extremely pleased with how it turned out. The finished ADU looks beautiful and fits perfectly into our backyard. Garden View designed our backyard with this ADU in mind. Everyone we worked with at Garden View was professional, knowledgeable, and did excellent work. Thank you to Mark, Gustavo, Keely, Steven Reeves and Steven Reinoehl! We also loved the nursery and the great selection of plants. The entire plant selection process was seamless, and I was able to find everything I wanted. The plants, trees, and flowers have all grown in beautifully and really brought the whole design to life. After 20 years of putting up with yards that we weren't particularly excited about, as we never wanted to entertain in the backyard, it is such a joy to look outside and feel like we have our own little park. We have been entertaining all summer! We are extremely happy with Garden View and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space!

Lalo and his crew were excellent in clearing the yard and putting in the drip irrigation system; and creating a beautiful stone sidewalk from scratch! Brian was patient with our changing desires, as well as with my wife's and my conflicting opinions and preferences on which plants to put where.

We were just recycling things we found around the property and plants that friends gave us. Melanie came to our rescue! She spent the better part of a morning walking around with us, discussing our entertaining habits and desires, and giving us pointers. She remembered the images I'd emailed her from my Pinterest that showed various looks that we liked. We sat down with her as she did the drawing, and she really pointed us in some great directions. Our drawings and plans reflect moving things and planting things to better accommodate the way we like to live and spend our time. She also kept in mind our plan to do most of the work ourselves over time. She brought up cost-effective and water-effective options for accomplishing many of our goals. After our meeting, she followed up with emails of the pictures she had shown us for ideas during the meeting. We did have a little trouble scheduling the meeting, but I always assume that talented people are overwhelmed with business, and that was definitely the case here. However, in the actual meeting and during our phone calls, she never once seemed rushed or impatient. If we need more detailed plans at any point, Melanie will most definitely be the person we turn to! Great overall experience.

After a short wait, she provided us two initial designs. Both were almost perfect match to what we asked for and thinking of. The difficult task for us was to decide which of the basic design to pick and work on to finalize our project. The final design includes a lagoon like pool, and very usable rest of the yard for our family, which includes two kids and two dogs. We are very happy to work with Melanie, and had referred her to several of our friends over the years.
