    After 2 years of moving to a new home, I finally had a chance to get my backyard project with the Modern Yardz.  I have collected information about landscaping companies for years since I moved in.  Modern Yardz became the best choice for me.  Best price! Best quality! Superfast!  So professional! Best customer service!  Weston helped me from the beginning to end.  Luke helped me after the construction started. Weston always put himself in my shoes, and took care of everything that I needed.  I felt free and easy to ask any questions. Since they started the construction, it took only 2 weeks to transform my beautiful backyard.  After the project ended, Weston and Luke kept contacting me and asked me to make sure everything was satisfied.  Thank you, Thomas, Weston, Luke, and other staff members from Modern Yardz.  I am so happy to have the most beautiful backyard in my neighborhood.  If you are reading this review, just pick the Modern Yardz! Don't waste of your time and money to research!

    Modern Yardz saved us from a disaster. As first time new homebuyers, our community put a deadline on when we had to complete our landscaping. We were already house broke from buying the house, so we wanted to make sure we had the best deal possible but also had great work done. We'd never looked at landscapers before and there were so many terms, companies, and factors to consider. After looking through 10+ companies, we finally chose a company that wasn't Modern Yardz. As we were about to sign the docs, we heard that company had run out of money and was essentially scamming people. We had heard situations like that or major delays happen with multiple companies and were skeptical but that's when we stumbled upon Modern Yardz. What we loved is first, unlike some companies, they give you a complimentary 3D design before you start the project. Jake, the design/sales guy, was able to work with us to customize a design we wanted. Thomas the owner came by and gave us design suggestions, which was super helpful because we had no expertise in this area. Customer service from the owner down was top notch. We feel like we're all friends. When we got the quote, while it wasn't the cheapest, was a fair amount compared to other estimates we got - some of which were 2x more for similar work. Modern Yardz is a company that gives you Mercedes Benz grade quality, with a Toyota pricing. Very reasonable. When we heard that our project would only take 3 weeks, while hopeful, I was very doubtful. I heard horror stories of other companies taking 3-6 months to complete similar work! Right when they started, we could tell this team was organized. The foreman is always on the project. There were multiple people on the job always. They were prompt, quick, and professional. They worked the full hours from 6am to 6pm, and were communicative. They went above and beyond and even helped us with extra work with gardening. They weren't just fast, they were detail oriented. I had a friend come by that understood construction who remarked on how Modern Yardz did a great job on grading the concrete so the water flows towards the drains. Everything was lined up, and in the right place. They completed the job in 3 weeks, as they said, and have since still been communicative and helpful. If you're looking for a no headache, fairly priced, professional, high quality landscaping job, Modern Yardz is the for sure pick. We had zero issues the entire time, and they made a potentially stressful situation, absolutely simple. We're so grateful we chose Modern Yardz! Before/afters in the photos

    From start to finish Modern Yardz was awesome. We had about 12 or so quotes from different companies and decided to go with Modern Yardz. Jake was very helpful and professional. He helped us visualize the plan and made sure we were within the rules of our HOA. He came up with great ideas and provided us a 3D rendering the next day. That's what really sold us. They started the job about 2 weeks later and we were introduced to the whole team. Russell the project manager was great in making sure our project was getting executed as planned. He was very communicative and make sure we were in the loop every step of the way. Both Jake and Russell quoted us a 4 week completion. But they finished in a little over 2 weeks. They underpromised and over delivered. Couldn't be more happy on the work! Go with them, you won't regret it!

    Finished project

    So glad I reached out to Modern Yardz to work on our courtyards. Jake and Issac were great, super communicative and very patient with all my questions. They really took the time to review what I wanted and the scope was clearly defined. They helped us balance what we wanted and how we could keep it in our budget. The crew was very courteous to us and my neighbor also commented to me about how nice they all were. There were so many little things that they helped out with that I cannot list them all, moving some large planter pots that were too heavy, etc. When the project was completed, everything was cleaned up and removed from the site as if they were not even there. This is our forever home and I really wanted this space to be done right, they helped us achieve that. We'll be enjoying it for many many years to come.

    We worked with Frank to design our front and backyard. He was extremely patient as we went through many design changes before signing the contract. He was thorough with his design and kept us informed throughout the project. He kept us within budget without sacrificing quality. I highly recommend Frank for your outdoor design needs. Russel was our PM and provided excellent customer service. He would regularly check in on the project to ensure every detail was covered. He even unexpectedly watered our plants while our irrigation was in progress! I am extremely happy with our new living space and Modern Yardz made the entire process stress free.

    I needed a new lawn and got my standard five bids for the job. Michael stood out for all of his…read moreinitial input on the options and then for the details of his bid. He was the only one who detailed every item involved in the bid, including update of irrigation. I've had issues in the past with bids for other projects that I assumed included the little details but didn't and then I had to pay extra. Michael's bid included every detail in writing that you would assume would be a part of a new lawn job and it was very reasonable. He also showed up on time for the initial appointment! His crew was great! Their work was very detailed and clean. The job was done within three days and all of the work area, including the driveway, was cleaned up. They even noted my falling-apart fence gate so Michael gave me a very reasonable quote and they did a great job fixing it for me. There were a lot of details for after-care and I've texted Michael multiple times to confirm. He texts back quickly and I never get the impression he's annoyed (I've sent a lot of texts!). I almost wish I had more yard renovations so that I could hire him again! I did discuss a whole-yard mulch job and will absolutely hire Michael when I'm ready for that. No more getting multiple bids for future yard renovations. I'll just call Michael.

    Michael and his team worked hard to get our project done in time. Even though we were adding to our…read moredesign, Michael had solutions for us throughout our project. We had our design done through Armstrong Garden Center and I liked their design but the bids we were getting with their landscapers were a lot higher than Michael's bid. Also, he was very knowledgeable. He came to do our estimate and we were impressed with his explanation about how he was going to run our water and electrical. No one else who came to give a bid gave a good solution or just didn't know how to do that. So the combination of a good bid and confidence in his knowledge of landscaping made this an easy choice. But best of all, he and his crew delivered on everything that was in the design plus things we decided to add. Now we actually enjoy being in our garden. Thank you!

Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with. I had met with no fewer than nine landscape companies before Smart Landscape and they were nightmares for various reasons. Danny is wonderful to work with and makes sure the customer is happy.

We met with four different companies and received quotes from each, but we either weren't confident in their work or just didn't feel they were the right fit until we met with JG Lawns. Craig came out to provide a free estimate and was brutally honest LOL. He never tried to oversell us or promise things that weren't realistic.  His personality and knowledge earned our trust, and combined with fair pricing, made our final decision to move forward with this company. Our project was originally expected to take about a week, but due to issues with choosing pavements and the paving company shipping the wrong materials, it ended up taking about a month. Even with the unexpected delay, Eric and Jesus (his dad) were fantastic throughout the entire process. They kept us updated every step of the way, explained any changes, and always made sure we were comfortable with the plan before moving forward. Their crew worked incredibly hard every single day. They treated our home with respect, paid attention to every detail, and always cleaned up before leaving for the day. Their pride in their work definitely shows in the finished product. We couldn't be happier with how our backyard turned out. It exceeded our expectations and has completely transformed our outdoor space. We would definitely recommend this company to anybody seeking turf and redo their yard. We are so glad we chose them.
