The deck, the planters, the raised flagstone patio, the retaining wall with a border garden.

JML has a fine-tuned process to deliver quality projects on time and on budget. As a project manager, I appreciate! We had very specific goals with our garden project: maximize the space as an outdoor room and create beautiful views from the windows. After we spoke with Joe about our goals, he spent almost an hour in the garden making drawings. And his first design was what we chose. Our project was a complete transformation of the space. Retaining wall had to be built, patio replaced, deck built. All in a tiny Glen Park garden. With 24 stairs up... The craftsmanship displayed by the team (Andy and Michael) was beyond measure. They paid attention to all the details, even things I hadn't thought of. Our garden became their garden in the way they worked. Sure, JML might be more expensive. The investment is worth it. The piece of mind is worth it. The result is worth it. My photos show the hardscaping as the garden is only 2 months old. Joe keeps checking in to see how the CA natives are doing, and with their monthly maintenance service, I know my garden will thrive.

Front yard - no irrigation required
Mike D.

Earlier this year we worked with Janet Moyer Landscaping on an extensive project that included our front and back yards and sides of our house. It was a pleasure working with Joe (head of design and installation) on the design of the project and everyone we interacted with during the project was extremely professional. I highly recommend working with them!

We had a mostly great experience with JML doing our medium-sized back yard remodel in Glen Park. We would recommend them to friends, and would use them again if we need to do more work. The pros: 1) Everyone we worked with from JML was kind, courteous, and went out of their way to make things work well. The consultations and back-and-forth on design and costing went well. They were very professional. The communication during both the design and installation phase was pretty consistent, with only a few cases of too-long turnaround time. Several reviews complain about the automatic billing happening too fast. This happened to us, and we simply asked that we receive an email several days before an invoice was charged. The JML team then gave us a heads up every time, and we had no problems with our bank. 2) We liked the design, and the team worked with us to make some changes to our liking. We also had a budget, and they definitely helped us stick to our budget. They broke down the estimated costs into "a la carte" options so we could add / take away as needed. The final result is quite nice, and very close to the original design. We love it. 3) Several issues popped up during the installation, and the JML team were flexible and responsive in working through them with us. They were particularly helpful with installing and maintaining a dog fence around some newly planted grass, to keep our obnoxious dog out while it could grow. They also helped address and take responsibility for some dead plants. The cons are all around communication: 4) There were several changes between the initial planning sessions / design, and what started happening during installation a few months later. For example, the original design called for re-using sod from our old yard, but instead they went with planting seed. These changes were not communicated... at all. They just happened, and we had to notice them, and raise the issues with JML. 5) We rarely knew when the team would be working on site or not (other than a general M-Th schedule, to which the team did not adhere). Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem, but with our dog needing use of the back yard it was important to understand when she could roam free vs needing to be kept inside during work days. 6) Near the end of the project there were several issues still unresolved, and it took too much effort on my part to get them resolved. For example, the design called for re-aligning a stairway attached to our deck. The metal stair rails were badly scratched during construction, and the re-alignment left a large, discolored bare wood patch in the side of the deck (the rest is stained). When I raised these issues, the response was "well this wasn't in the original contract". I pushed back, and the team cheerfully fixed this, but the right course of action would have been for these (and a few other) items to be noticed by JML and fixed right the first time. The final verdict: All in all a mostly great experience, and we would recommend. As with all contractors, keeping on top of the project details and engaging in regular communication is important to ensure the final result that you want.

I've dreamt of my outdoor kitchen/yard for 30 years. JML and their crew exceeded my expectation. We have a small yard in the Westwood Park neighborhood in SF. I seriously love my yard!!!! We started our design process way before Covid hit (so thankful). Joe Coutour transformed my vague vision to an amazing space to cook and entertain. Social distancing outdoor entertainment has been taken to the next level especially with the restaurant heaters. It's been a rough 18 months but seeing my yard transform has brought our family and friends so much joy not to mention a few pounds. Thank you sooooo much! I appreciate everything JML has created for us.

Hot tub with deck and privacy fending (lights added later)
DeeDee S.

We had a very positive experience with Janet Moyer Landscaping. We have a very small backyard that we never used. We wanted to do something to make it nice. We worked closely with Joe Couture, who did a great job listening to us, making a thoughtful design and then executing it. Joe was always nice, easy going and a great communicator. He worked really hard to make the hot tub, deck and stairs work and fit in a very small space, and the whole thing came out looking super charming and not cramped or crowded (we were afraid of the latter). With Joe's guidance, we also re-sized our a small deck and adding some planters and lights. The little yard is now a delight to spend time in and a central gathering spot for our family and our kids with their friends. It is so great to have it and has been such a positive addition. We highly recommend Janet Moyer Landscaping.

Our experience with Janet Moyer Landscaping was extraordinary: they designed and executed a beautiful backyard for us. At every turn they were communicative, creative, and, it being 2020, gritty in figuring out safe ways to proceed during the pandemic. The end results are spectacular. We would leap at the chance to work with them again and again.

How it started and how it ended

Backyard gardens in the city vary wildly, from steep grades to changing light due to ongoing construction projects around your neighborhood. When I decided to update my backyard, I wanted someone familiar with the area, cared about water conservation, native plants, upcycling old materials and could help with design and drip irrigation. It was a long process and not cheap, but the results have been worth the upheaval. Joe came up with a creative redesign that reflected my goals, and Clay did a tremendous job at the execution! We had to adjust here and there along the way but I trusted the process, and I couldn't be happier. I really enjoyed working with everyone! I plan on taking advantage of the maintenance they offer only for clients.

Rob was responsive and straightforward to work with, Monica created a beautiful design that really made the most of our space, and Rebecca and the crew did an incredible job bringing it all to life. Communication was excellent throughout, and whenever questions or small decisions came up, they were handled quickly and thoughtfully. We were also amazed by how efficiently the team worked. They transformed our yard in what felt like no time at all, while still paying close attention to the details. The finished space is beautiful, functional, and feels like a completely different yard. We were outside enjoying it under the new patio lights almost immediately after they finished! Home projects can sometimes be stressful, but this one genuinely wasn't. The entire experience was smooth from design through construction and final wrap-up, and we always felt like the project was in capable hands. We're extremely happy we chose Logiculture and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and reliable landscaping team. Five stars!

We couldn't recommend them more. Thank you!

From the beginning, Brian listened carefully to our goals and transformed our ideas into a beautiful vision of serenity. He hand-drew his design, explained his ideas, and brought everything to life with a respectful, prompt, and clean crew. He transformed our backyard into a true Zenscape, exactly what we hoped for, and created gorgeous front and back gardens complete with irrigation and lighting. We have now worked with Brian and his team for five years, and what stands out most is that the relationship didn't end when the project did. He continues to respond to our calls and messages, offer advice, and help us care for and preserve his work. During a recent construction project, he even coordinated with our contractor and plumber to protect the garden and ensure the irrigation was properly connected. Our front garden now features beautiful plants, rocks, stones, and a Maple tree Brian planted and helped preserve during construction. The backyard has become a true sanctuary, with fire and water features, a birdbath, Japanese lantern, lighting, and a lemon tree--a perfectly balanced retreat for birds, butterflies, and humans alike. Brian and Noe are now helping us refresh a few overgrown areas (our fault!), and we couldn't be happier with their quality, patience, and follow-through. Brian didn't just transform our yard--he transformed our quality of life. Everyone stops to admire the front of our house, and it brings us so much joy. We are incredibly grateful. Thank you, Zenscape!

Quality & Speed: The workmanship on the pavers is outstanding, with precise cuts and proper grading. The irrigation and landscaping were integrated seamlessly. In addition to the high quality, the team worked efficiently and completed the project as scheduled. Thoroughness & Cleanup: They were meticulous from start to finish. Once the work was completed, they performed a timely and thorough cleanup, leaving the entire property spotless.

The problem was that I had been waiting at the correct location the entire time.

The receptionist confirmed that the estimator had gone to the wrong address and assured me he would come to the correct one. Unfortunately, after waiting another hour, I never heard from the estimator or the office. My attempts to call the office also went unanswered. At that point, it became clear that no one was coming and no one was going to let me know. Mistakes happen, but what disappointed me most was the lack of communication and professionalism.

For months, we called and followed up multiple times regarding the issues with the irrigation and the condition of the work, and we were repeatedly ignored. You were aware of who we were despite the Yelp review being under a different name because we were the ones consistently reaching out with no acknowledgment. Regarding the irrigation issue: the damage wouldn't have occurred if your crew had properly capped the existing irrigation before installing the pavers. The fact that you had to redo a section later at no charge doesn't negate that the issue was caused by your team's oversight in the first place. Had you taken responsibility and communicated with us when we initially reached out, we wouldn't have had to resort to a public complaint. It's disappointing that it took a Yelp review to get any kind of acknowledgment.
