    We just bought a house in the Outer Richmond. It's a bit of a fixer upper. Our backyard had retaining walls that were decades old and crumbling. We contacted Mike, he came out gave us a fair estimate. We hired him and his company to tear out the old retaining walls, and replace it, install some steal support beams to brace the back retaining wall. He also re did put patio and installed several drains throughout the back yard. His workers were always on time, polite, and worked hard. Their craftsmanship was outstanding and everyone was a real pleasure to work with. Mike would stop by everyday in the morning to make sure everything was getting done, and to make sure the his crew had everything they needed. We will definitely be hiring him when we have to redo our front driveway. We were beyond pleased with the work he and his crew did. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

    New fence

    After the late October heavy rain storms we found that water was leaking from the yard and side of the house into the garage. There was also accumulated mud close to the side panels of the house (this was a known disclosure when we purchased the house). My realtor recommended Michael Heavey Construction to help with a drainage solution. I spoke with Michael Heavey over the phone and he came to visit and assess the issue. After speaking with Mike and getting a quote I decided to go with his company. Once he got the ok Mike and and his team got to work quick before it rained again and there was more leaking. The soil around my house has high clay content, so the soil was excavated, and base rock was added and compacted. French drains were installed and drainage from the gutters was moved from the surface to pipes underground. The foundation was covered in muridrain and a steel reinforced swale with curb was built to drain surface water. It rained after Mike and his team installed the underground drainage and the garage stayed dry. In addition to installing drainage around the house a ripraff was built below where the pipes discharged the water on the hillside of my property to reduce erosion of the hillside. I think the ripraff looks cool and fits with the hillside and looks aesthetically pleasing. We also wanted a fence installed in the back yard for safety since we have a young kid. I wanted horizontal boards and even though our property is on an incline, Mike did a good job building that type of fence in a staggered manner with a built in gate and steps to the hillside. I am not worried about water leaking into my garage this rainy season and I am happy with the craftsmanship of Mike's construction team. I would recommend them to friends and mentioned to Mike that I would like to use them again in future construction projects because they got the job done in a reasonable time.

    Michael and his team were able to work with our budget and come up with a great plan for backyard. They worked hard and diligent and they all clearly care about finish product. Highly recommend. The pictures of my backyard are some before and afters but house/backyard isn't completed. But you can see the work Michael Heavey did and see how awesome him and his team are.

    If I can give Michael and his crew 100 stars, I would! Our driveway needed a major facelift after a partial sewer and waterline replacement due to our renovation. The spots where the sewer and water lines were replaced did not match our existing concrete design and stood out like a sore thumb. The driveway looked dirty and ugly with excess concrete splattered everywhere. After seeing Michael's work from two of our neighbors front yards on the same street, we contacted Michael to see if he can fix our driveway without redoing the entire concrete. He thoroughly explained what needed to be done and promised that once they're done with our driveway, we would love it....and WE DID! We had to go darker color for the new stain so it would cover the existing red/orangey stain. Now it matches our house's exterior colors. Don't mind the garage door since it'll be replaced with a nice modern door soon!!! Here are some before and after photos that I'm so excited to share so you all see the beautiful transformation! THANK SO MUCH AGAIN MICHAEL AND CREW!!! Till our next project

    My backyard before.

    So grateful for these guys for turning my backyard into a place I can relax. These guys did a fantastic job! They were always on time, demonstrated strong work ethic and were trustworthy. I know my backyard wasn't the easiest to deal with and they continued to push through and make it work in the timely manner we agreed on. They were also very clean and tidy with their workspace. I'm very pleased with the work that they have done.

    End result! Stunning!!!!!!
    Marcail K.

    Michaels' company does phenomenal work and came up with creative ways to get us the backyard of our dreams. We have a very classic Sunset backyard which consists of sand and slopes towards the house. I have horrible allergies and could never spend time outside so we wanted to cement in 70% of the yard and make it more usable for our little family. Concrete stamping was my initial idea however, on our first consultation with Michael he highly encouraged us to consider pavers as concrete will crack due to the sand base. While the cost of pavers is more, we wouldn't be dealing with cracking of the cement. We opted for the pavers after lots and lots of talks between my husband and myself. Let me tell you, they look fantastic! We get compliments from our neighbors and visitors all the time on how beautiful our yard is now!!!! The overall project took about 2 weeks. The first week was excavating all the sand out of the yard, lots and lots and lots of work for the guys. The next week was preparing for the pavers to come in, creating new drainage due to the slope of the yard and of course building a retaining wall because of that same slope. The end result is truly stunning and we are now spending so much time outside and enjoying this new beautiful space. This was exactly what our vision was "to have a usable, beautiful, low maintenance yard" and Michael and his team delivered. Thank you for the fantastic work Michael and the pleasure of working with you all.

    Very professional. Michael gave us multiple options and recommendations for our driveway project. His team was very accurate and reliable. I am happy that I decided to go with his services. Highly recommend his company.

When Carlos and the team came for the actual project, they went above and beyond to deliver the project outcomes. They removed a huge amount of green waste, removed rootballs, and provided quality tree trimming.

I would highly recommend them to do any landscaping work you may have. Their front office, supervisors and project staff are completely customer oriented. Shout out to Rachel, Daniel, Dorian, Francisco and Eli. I found them on Yelp and their profile and reviews gave us the perception of a high quality and professional landscape company. as such I felt their pricing may be a bit high. I used Yelp to contact and communicate with them initially. Rachel impressively returned my request for information the same day. I also reached out to 2 other companies at the same time. My initial request was for weed clearing and contouring the front yard. They in fact quoted the highest price for this work. I then asked the three firms to quote the entire front yard landscaping project and this is where Go Green Landscape won me over. I had a plan sketch drawing of the yard with dimensions and notes of what we were looking for. Daniel came out to review this with me. He was patience and knowledgeable to the point where I felt comfortable working with Go Green. (I suggest you have some plans prepared so they can quote properly.) I gave them materials and finishes we desired and wanted to match some existing work we had done. Their quote came back detailed and precise. Everything was documented and clear. Granted we went back and forth a few times to make sure all items, details and costs were accounted for but Rachel handled this like a champ. Dorian, Francisco, Eli and the Team came out to start work. Let me just say these guys know what they are doing. They cleared the front yard in the first day! Then area by area, section by section they worked with me to bring our front yard concept to life. We opted for a super low maintenance design. Retaining wall blocks, pavers, crushed rock, artificial turf and river rock. The quality of care and professional work they provided will impress you. They went back and forth to dump site to drop off waste and to vendors to pick up materials as needed. They shifted workers from job to job as the work progressed. Seems like a well oiled machine with good organization. All in all the work was done timely and we are very happy with the final product. Give them a call!! Check out our before and after images

Tsering took our small, weirdly shaped, overgrown backyard and transformed it into a functional piece of art--all in only four weeks! We are so happy that our son will be able to enjoy it for years to come. Tsering is not just a contractor, but an artist and a craftsman. He does everything from start to finish. He provides a glimmer of his vision early on, in a simple one-page design. Once he starts working, he refines that vision and brings it to life with his amazing team. At the end of each day, we were shocked at how much they got done and at the quality of the craftsmanship. Tsering takes incredible pride in his work. After designing and building a beautiful fence for us, he geeked out over some of special hardware he installed to make it extra secure (and we otherwise would not have noticed). Moments like that came up during each phase of the project. Tsering also used the best materials, even when left to his discretion. He purchased more Ipe wood, poured more concrete, and even bought a bigger maple tree than in the estimate. (He did not charge us extra.) During the course of our project, Tsering also found many ways to improve our backyard (and home) that went beyond the scope of the project. He re-stucco'd an old balcony, re-did the weatherproofing of an old door, sawed through several busted lockboxes, and added an extra little Ipe wall. Because he was ahead of schedule on the project, he didn't charge us for any of it (not even materials). We've attached a few before and after photos, but they honestly barely do justice to his work. Tsering is one of a kind. If you want a backyard that looks like his portfolio, you should hire him. We are hoping that one day we'll be able to get on his calendar for our front yard as well.

    Tsering and his team totally transformed our courtyard from ugly, barely usable hardscape to a…read morebeautiful and functional outdoor space. The final result exceeded our expectations! From our first meeting, Tsering had a creative vision for the space, more nuanced than other contractors we met. We appreciate craftsmen like Tsering who bring a strong POV on the right way to do things, more than just building to a spec, and steer you away from bad decisions. Tsering personally supervised our project, and was onsite every day, often for significant periods of time. This is a very collaborative, hands-on, personalized approach from a small team, not a huge operation with many crews in the field. You feel like he treats your project like his own, with a high quality of work and attention to detail. It is a very cohesive design, site plan, materials, plants all working together beautifully. Tsering is great to work with - we appreciate his easy-going nature, patience, and sense of humor. Cannot recommend more highly.

I first met Humberto when I opened a Yelp project ticket in January. He was not only quick to respond, (he came over within an hour, on a Sunday), he also was transparent in his pricing and had great suggestions. I could tell he knew a lot about gardening. Humberto and Alejandro came in January for the first visit, and as was right for the season, they pruned all of the bushes, weeded the mulch and stone areas, and mowed the lawn. I liked them so much that first visit we made a plan for the next visit in the spring, which happened today! Humberto brought just the stone I wanted (he knew it by name when he saw it the first time), to refresh the old stone and also brought the mulch that we had talked about- both in the perfect quantity. Today they also mowed and fertilized the grass (the right time of year for that now), cleaned up all of my pots, put new plants in huge heavy ceramic pots, replanted some outlier succulents from the stone area, and did a thoughtful cleanup all around. He advised me about "sunny plants" and "shady plants" too, which was very useful. The yard is beaming with Springtime! Humberto is busy for a good reason, so plan for that, but a shiny well thought out garden is a joy.

(Lots of contractors we spoke to did landscaping or hardscaping, but not both; and none came with design ideas.) As demolition was ending, Monica came back with more specific designs, including for our deck and specific pollinator-friendly and low-water plants. The design discussion was collaborative and she took into account that the yard would be used by dogs and kids (thus plants needed to withstand less-than-mindful foot traffic). The crew were always on time and left the site (and our garage) cleaner than they found it. Thank you to Rob, Monica, Ryan, Mick, Oscar, and Keith for a fabulous job! As you'll see from before pics, the concrete deck was uneven, small, and the yard was a weedy sand pit. Now it's an amazing entertainment space where the kids can play safely, bees and hummingbirds can catch a meal, and then rest of us can hang out and enjoy!
