BEFORE Courtyard

I've been wanting to upgrade my backyard for years and finally decided to just go for it. I looked up local landscape designers and discovered John's yelp reviews. After reading them over, I decided to reach out to him and schedule a 1st meeting. When John came over, introductions were made and we showed him the yard with things we knew we wanted but also felt overwhelmed by the smaller details. John put us at ease with his expertise. He came prepared with previous projects before & after pictures and informed us of the process, assuming we of course selected him. We liked what he heard/saw. John also stated that he'd be willing to design our front yard if that was something we were interested in as both yards would be designed by the same person and have that cohesion. Our front yard was in need of an upgrade too. He made a point saying because we would have printed designs of the yard, we could do this project whenever we wanted. The process with John was smooth. He came to measure everything for his designs. Next were a couple digital plans he compiled based off of our wants along with potential plants he though would look nice (he travelled the neighborhood looking at what plants other yards had to help with his selections). We went over both printed designs. My wife and I discussed what we liked from each and let John know. John revised based off of our feedback and presented us with a final design that was a hybrid of the 2 previous plans. Our final meeting we went over the design. We were impressed by John's detail, how the plants were neatly color coded with a key, the placement of everything, and things labeled to make it easy for contractors. John gave us about 5 printed copies to give to various contractors and also gave us a digital version. He then went over pricing of everything that erred on the higher side so we weren't blindsided. He gave us various contractors he works with and informed us that if we were to use one of them, he would do check ins to see that everything was meeting his standards. All in all, we are very happy we spent money on John as a landscape designer. The yards look incredible! We've received many compliments on the yards. John really helped make an overwhelming task seem easy. Everything came together and are so thankful for John's expertise and knowledge.

We are happy we have John designing our backyard/garden. Not only did the design meet our expectations, but John is also very knowledgeable about the plants. The draft is very detailed and the contractor was able to follow his instruction. He also avoids toxic plants to keep our backyard safe for our dogs.

We hired John Kensla of Infinite Sky Designs to help us come up with a plan for improving the outside of our home. We purchased the home in September 2020 and wanted to improve the overall landscape, but had a limited budget. We new we needed to do something, but we came from out of state and we're not familiar with the local plants. We had some ideas, but really didn't know where to start. We had previously obtained some quotes from paver contractors and landscape lighting companies and landscapers; they each had their own ideas, but we needed someone to look at the whole picture and put it on paper. That's what John Kensla did. John was very professional. He met with us several times. First was to get to know us, get an idea of our budget, listen to our ideas and understand our expectations. He then came out and took detailed measurements which he used to put together a basic architectural plan. After that we met several more times reviewing and making changes to the plan based on our preferences or in order to reduce construction costs. At our final meeting he presented a very formal beautifully colored landscape design blueprint along with estimates of what he thought it would cost. He also gave us contact information on reputable local contractors that could perform the work. Having a well defined laid out plan allowed us to obtain estimates and compare them directly. If you have a small project that you want to do and know what you want, you probably do not need a landscape architect. But if you are thinking of improving or redoing your hardscape and would like to add some plants as well as irrigation and lighting, then I would definitely use a landscape architect to help you put it all together. John Kensla of Infinite Sky Designs did this for us and he did a great job for a very reasonable price.

My husband and I interviewed several designers last year. We decided to contract John and he was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely professional, and he provided guidance and input when needed. We feel like he captured the vision we had for our backyard. He turned our dirt yard into a place where we love to spend time and entertain. We would highly recommend John.

After first meeting with John to explore options, I hired John for a design sketch of our backyard with recommended plants and trees, colors, sizes, costs, etc. the service was very effective and cost efficient. Helps visualize options and finished product - able to take design sketch, suggested cost range, and seek bids with contractors for installation.

John Kensla is a patient and creative landscape designer. We wanted low maintenance, kid and dog friendly plants in our backyard. Our final design plan was almost complete, but John double checked all of the plants to make sure they were safe and some of them were not, so we basically started from scratch. I really appreciated the extra time and effort he put into making sure all of the plants in our backyard were safe. This was actually our second time working with John. The first time was five years ago. I really do believe a great landscape designer is essential for a successful outcome in any landscape project.

I am so thankful for the entire team: Ryan, Anthony, Luis, Steve, Obemar, and Santiago--they were all amazing! Ryan had great ideas and worked with me to bring our vision to life while staying closer to our budget. He was always quick to respond and supported me even when I needed to make changes along the way. Anthony was always available to answer my questions and great at troubleshooting in a timely manner--even coming by after the project was completed to help with an issue in our patio caused by a different company. He also returned again to help adjust the irrigation schedule, which I truly appreciated! Luis is the kind of person you want on your project every day--kind (the nicest person), hardworking, and incredibly detail-oriented. Thanks to him, my fence turned out beautifully. I'm also grateful for Steve, who helped me visualize everything on paper so I could feel at ease before we started. His plant choices and placement were spot-on, and I really appreciated the extra effort he put in! Obemar and Santiago worked tirelessly under the hot sun, and thanks to their dedication, the project was completed on time. They were so kind as well--we even received a bag full of lemons one day! This review is a little long, but they all deserve a shoutout. I honestly feel like I got more than I was expecting, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Ryan, the owner, was great from start to finish, Anthony did a fantastic job as our project manager, and the foreman and crew were hardworking and detail-oriented. They went above and beyond the original scope, helping problem‑solve both the irrigation system so it could reach an extra flower bed and improving the drainage to make sure everything would work properly. The project was finished on time and within budget, and we're very happy with the results. We would definitely recommend Green Dreams!

After I contacted the owner and spoke with Sharon, they took full responsibility and redid the entire fence from the ground up. The new build is exactly what we were hoping for: high-quality materials, solid craftsmanship, and a beautiful finished product that really elevates our property. Custom work doesn't always go perfectly the first time, but what matters is how a company responds--and they absolutely stood behind their work and made it right. That level of integrity and follow-through is hard to find. I would confidently recommend them based on the final result and their commitment to customer satisfaction.

BIG shout out to Sunny Builders Group!!!They are amaaaazing!!!…read more We had 40+ overgrown "hedges" that became more like small trees over the years and were intertwined with old metal fencing. I've wanted to get a new fence for so long, but I was afraid it would be too expensive since the hedges would have to be removed first. I spent 2 weeks getting quotes from various types of businesses that could get the job done... and then I found Sunny Builders Group! With many areas of expertise, they proved to be a one-stop-shop that did all the things I had received individual quotes for: Remove the hedges, grind the stumps, demo the old fence, haul it all away, install a new vinyl fence, DG pathway... and to my surprise, they could even replace my broken granite countertop ! They took care of all the behind the scenes planning and coordination, and we stayed under budget! What a blessing! My experience with them has been fantastic, starting with my very first call to Rachel, she's so helpful and put my mind at ease! The crew was on time, ahead of schedule, and worked together like a well-oiled machine, so quick and efficient! Sunny is an absolute delight to work with! Throughout the whole process, I always felt like he's had my best interest in mind and wasn't just out to make a buck. He's a fair and honest man, and is very generous in sharing discounts and money-saving tips. Even with so much to juggle, he handled it all with such grace and professionalism, and was excellent at communicating every step of the way! Sunny Builders Group exceeded my expectations...and then some!!! I'll be a customer for life and look forward to working with them again on future projects. Thank you Sunny Builders Group, I am forever grateful!!!

When we started looking for vendors, we had several companies come out and got a variety of answers of what was possible or not, and also how long the process would take. They all had delayed response times, and odd requirements that were really off putting. On a whim we reached out to Install It Direct to get yet another option. Man we are glad we went with them. Steve was great and quickly turned around a rendering and captured our vision almost to a T after our first conversation. The shinning star of the entire project was Troy, from day one we knew he was understood our vision and had our best interest in mind with every decision we had to make. He checked in with us regularly, kept us abreast with everything happening and whenever an issue arose (which were all minor and expected) that we were presented with pros/cons for each solution. He made us feel like we were a priority and that he genuinely cared about the outcome. All in all, it was a great experience. We love our new yard and would highly recommend IIT and Troy to anyone. They were able to make our dream backyard come to life.

I am posting this update as a severe safety warning to anyone considering Installing Direct. Since…read moremy initial review, a catastrophic and life-threatening incident has occurred. The fire pit installed by this company exploded into my girlfriend's face. We had an independent professional company come out to inspect the unit and the gas line. Their findings were shocking: the gas connection was completely loose. This negligence allowed gas to build up inside the fire pit structure, which caused it to explode upon ignition. Because of the physical injuries sustained and the absolute gross negligence regarding a gas installation, we are now taking this company to litigation. If you value the safety of your home and your family, stay far away from this business. A "loose connection" on a gas line is not just a mistake--it is a deadly hazard. We are currently in the process of legal action to hold them accountable for the damage and trauma they have caused. Zero stars. Avoid at all costs.
