Modern Yardz were extremely professional, did a great job of understanding our needs and often had useful suggestions. The project was completed in a timely fashion working around the weather, always keeping me informed. Shout out to our project designer Jake Sypnicki for working closely with us, handling all the changes and resolving all the small things we wanted changed. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hands off zero headache high quality project. read more

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! read more

Modern Yardz installed landscaping in our newly built home. There were a lot of specs we had to comply with and they helped with the design to ensure we got it right the first time. They were professional and patient with changes. They even came out right away a couple years after install when we had questions. Frank was courteous, professional and competent. We love our landscaping and it gives us peace of mind that Modern Yardz didn't forget about us once the job was done. read more

Working with Modern Yardz was a great experience! From initial consultation/design to project completion, Jake (sales rep) and Frank (foreman) were excellent--professional, respectful, and responsive. While we were gathering quotes and designs, Jake was quick to provide a design and initial itemized estimate. His responsiveness and help to work within our budget put Modern Yardz ahead of the competitors. While our project was a straightforward backyard demo, re-landscaping, and hardscaping, it included hauling, installing a retaining wall, re-fencing the perimeter, installing artificial turf, pouring concrete, and redoing the drainage system. They were very flexible with our schedules, responsive to messages/calls, and attentive to details. While they subcontract out, communication was mostly seamless. The crew worked hard and quickly. If there was an issue, it was quickly resolved. We would have preferred getting materials options/prices earlier (e.g., turf, rocks, lighting, etc.) to better understand our project and options; and we could have asked more questions to confirm that we were all on the same page. For example, we weren't expecting a number of questions with the fencing subcontractor, which needed to be directly worked out with the Modern Yardz crew rather than us. There were a few unexpected costs--this was our first major project like this, so we definitely learned a lot through the process as well. Despite some of those minor issues, we still enjoyed working with them and appreciate their work. We would definitely consider them for future projects. read more

Amazing to work with, rebuilt our back yard and did it reliably and quickly exactly as we wanted and within our cost parameters. Jake really helped us design our yard and Frank managed our project tightly and I could not believe how efficient they were. We are thrilled with the end result! read more

We had a big landscaping project and couldn't be happier with the results. We got about 4 estimates on the property work. Tristen, Isaac, and the team did an incredible job -- they tore down and rebuilt a large retaining wall, replaced turf, and planted a variety of trees, flowers, and bushes that completely transformed our yard. From start to finish, communication was clear and consistent. Tristen and Isaac were especially patient and helpful throughout the entire process, answering all our questions and making sure we felt comfortable with each step. The quality of their work and attention to detail really shows. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough GREAT things about Tristan and Isaac with Modern Yardz. From the beginning of our patio project until the end everything went extremely smooth. Pricing was very fair but what impressed me the most was the constant communication I received from Tristan and Isaac and the quality of work performed by their teams. I HIGHLY recommend Modern Yardz (referred a neighbor) and you'll be lucky if you get the opportunity to work with Tristan and Isaac. read more

Modern Yardz did an amazing job with our backyard fencing project. Tristan helped us from start to finish and was outstanding to work with. He is very responsive, professional, and got the job done quickly. We'll certainly use them again in the future! read more

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! read more

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 read more

We had a smaller project for our backyard that included removing some artificial turf so we could begin growing more fruits and vegetables. It was a little tricky as the raised beds we wanted would need to be leveled on a slope, which was a little beyond our DIY skills. I saw the many positive reviews for Modern Yardz, so reached out to their website via email. Tristan reached out the same day, and set an site visit appointment for the very next day. After seeing pictures of other larger scale renovations on their website, I was a little concerned our project would be too small for them to take on. Happily they agreed to help us, and we have been really happy with the results. In addition to Tristan, thanks to our entire team, especially Luke, Matteo, Doug, and Bailey. We've been impressed with their professionalism and responsiveness. Appreciated how they left the worksite clean at the end of each day. And their prices were very fair. Thanks you guys! read more

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. read more

We had a great experience with Modern Yardz. We started by meeting with Jake who walked us through the design options and process for yard renovation. He took the time to allow us to make decisions and was always responsive to all our needs. Frank, our project manager, was super knowledgeable, communicative, and made sure everything got done right. Domingo and all the workers were friendly and did a great job! We are so happy with how our yard turned out and highly recommend Modern Yardz! read more

Working with Weston and Frank was an absolute delight. They kept me informed throughout the entire process and maintained complete transparency from the start to the finish. The process was incredibly straightforward, and the design I chose is simply stunning. I now relish spending my evenings in my backyard and am thrilled to open the blinds in the morning to admire the incredible work that went into it. Their support staff, Dany and Joel, are fantastic individuals with an exceptional work ethic and skills. I am incredibly grateful that I chose ModernYardz to bring my vision to life. read more

Great sales and design by Jake and a very hardworking crew led by Frank. Very responsive to issues that came up. Happy with the overall result. read more

Modern Yardz did a great job and everything looked beautiful! Tristan was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process and was available for questions even after the work was completed. Overall very satisfied with my decision to hire Modern Yardz. read more

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. read more

We had a great experience with the landscaper. We are located in Rancho Peñasquitos in a new build home. From start to finish Modern Yardz's service and professionalism was excellent. They handled the project from start to finish from planning, submission of documents to the HOA to the final finishing touches. Our project manager. Luke was very attentive and helped us in a step-by-step way throughout the process. Jake, our sales contact, was extremely helpful in laying out out the initial project details and costing it for us. There were no surprises along the way. I found the pricing to be very reasonable for the service that we received. We are currently post project and they are attentive to any details that are lingering - thumbs up for this business as well as the subcontractors, they engaged for electrical gutter, and concrete read more

After almost a year after moving in to our new home, we finally got our backyard done with ModernYardz. We did lots of research and got quotes from several companies before deciding to go with ModernYardz. They made the process so easy! Jake was able to easily visualize our plan from the beginning. He sketched out a plan and provided a 3D rendering quickly. He helped us when our HOA had questions and was able to meet both our wants and our HOA's rules. Luke oversaw the project from there and everything ran smoothly and quickly. The crew worked hard and was able to pour concrete before the rain started. They communicated well throughout the whole process. Our crew was even complimented by our neighbors for keeping the area in front of our house so clean. If you're looking for a competitively priced, professional, and high quality landscaping job, Modern Yardz is the best choice you could make! read more

We recently completed work on a major backyard renovation including demo, concrete pour, new pergola, plants, lighting, irrigation, drainage and artificial turf. Through out the entire project Jake was a professional, communicative, problem solver. With out his management I doubt we would have had as smooth a project. The work done by the crew is top notch, and I am very happy with all aspects of the project. read more

My yard needed a total renovation, everything from end to end needed to be demolished and replaced with the exception of the pool. I received several recommendations but Modern Yardz had the earliest availability for a consultation. Frank came out to review my yard and my wish list of things...walls, pavers, turf, lighting, landscaping, pergolas. I had no idea where to start but Frank made me feel immediately at ease and guided me on some options. After that first meeting and walking through the virtual design, I decided I did not need to talk to another contractor and trusted that Frank and the Modern Yardz team could do the job. It ended up being a 3 month project with a few unplanned issues along the way, but we worked through them and Frank was always there to guide on the options and provided quick responses to all my questions. Sebastian the foreman and his team on the hardscape side were efficient and do quality work. They often made up project time when we had delays on other parts of the project. Everything was worth the wait. I went from having an old, run down backyard to a Modern Yard and it was worth the time and wait. read more

15JAN2023 - CURRENTLY ONGOING PROJECT :) THE PROCESS SO FAR 1. INITIAL REQUEST: Based on superior Yelp reviews I requested a bid from Modern Yardz. I did not get competing bids at this time as I am a bit familiar with SF pricing on most of the services I'm looking to get done. The communications via Yelp have been outstanding. We scheduled an in-person site visit within 3 days of my request. 2. IN-PERSON: Jake, Senior Project Designer with 3 years in the business, came out on time and ready to get to work. We walked the property, talked about my project, goals and budget. Jake advised I would have an estimate and design by close of business next week! So far, so good! I currently recommend! Standby for follow-on reviews! read more

Very pleased with my experience with Model Yardz. From the get-go, Thomas and Jake were both responsive and collaborative. Their quote was reasonable in comparison with the other bids we solicited. Side note - when considering other companies, ensure materials are included as well and not out of pocket or your responsibility to procure/deliver! The design process with Jake and their internal team went smoothly, and Jake was patient through 10 or so of my revision requests. It was also helpful to have a team with experience working with our HOA, although some of the new HOA guidelines forced us to make changes to the initial design. Work started on time and within budget, and the crew was in and out in less than a month. I also chose to work directly with a nursery to select and deliver my plants, but the Modern Yardz crew was capable and able to plant them according to my design specifications. Very happy with the end result! read more

We had a great experience with Modern Yardz for our backyard renovation. Our project was fairly large and complex with a sloped canyon lot that required 4 large retaining walls, extensive drainage, concrete steps and a wheelchair ramp, a paved patio, and ~100 new plants. From our initial consult meeting with Jake, we were impressed with the team's communication and attention to detail. Our designer Dave worked with us to refine our vision for the space and create an amazing and functional design. Our project manager Russel kept the project on track, on time, and within budget. We also appreciated that the owner Thomas was involved in our project and overseeing the process. We would highly recommend Modern Yardz! read more

We couldn't be happier with our Modern Yardz experience, from beginning to end! Tristan came out for the initial quote and in listening to what we wanted, actually suggested an option we hadn't considered that was cheaper than the other options. Domingo and the crew were amazing! They got the job done in under a week and our new walkway is beautiful! Isaac checked in throughout the week and did a final walkthrough, making sure all my questions were answered. I highly recommend these guys and look forward to my next yard project so I can use them again! read more

Had the absolute pleasure of working with Modern Yardz for my full yard design. Frank and Russell were both amazing to work with from start to finish. The whole team was amazing. Detailed fast work. I am beyond happy with the finished yard. I 1000 percent recommend Modern Yardz. read more

I hired Modern Yardz to redesign and create a patio in my front yard, in addition to getting rid of grass and converting to lower maintenance landscaping. I had an idea based on another yard I had seen but didn't have the details fully conceptualized. I got several quotes and one company fully ghosted me in the final planning stages, but Modern Yardz was responsive and what really sold me was their ability to create a visual, detailed mock-up that really allowed me to understand how the final product would look. Jake was super accommodating and communicative and once work was underway, Luke took over and was available at the drop of a hat for any questions I had. I'm so happy with the final product and am already thinking about how they might transform my backyard. read more

Thanks to Weston and Luke for the great work they did in our front yard. Amazing and down to earth crew. Very flexible with design changes enforced by our HOA! Also, they offered the whole project with an affordable price below competitors while delivering a high quality product. read more

We had our backyard completely remodeled by Modern Yardz and we are very happy with the results! From start to finish, their communication was exceptional. Our project manager Frank kept us updated at every stage, always making sure we understood the process and were happy with the progress. His flexibility and patience adjusting the design a few times before project start was greatly appreciated! We also made a few last minute changes along the way, and he was always accommodating, offering great suggestions and working with us to make sure the final design was exactly what we envisioned. Foreman Sebastian and his team were professional, efficient, and delivered on time. Our backyard is now a beautiful space where we love spending time. We highly recommend Modern Yardz for any landscaping project! read more

I needed a complete backyard renovation and had specific features I wanted (turf, pavers, and aluminum patio cover), and Modern Yardz was one of the few good companies I could find that did all 3. Weston, Russ, Felix and crew were all great. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, communication was easy and I was kept up to date on the progress. The work took awhile but it was done meticulously and everything came out perfect. read more

Stumbled across Modern Yardz while Googling landscapers in San Diego County. Immediately was drawn to them based on their reviews and the work portrayed on their website. Submitted a free consultation and was immediately contacted by Weston. On the day of the consultation, Weston reviewed a poorly drawn model of the project we wanted and he came up on the spot with certain revisions to the project. He told us not to worry as he and his team will provide us a 3D Model of our project to see first hand how things will actually look. Within a week, Weston had the model available to us and we quickly fell in love with the look. We were taken aback by the model we immediately thought cost wise, we were going to go above our budget. But we were totally wrong, Modern had totally blown the competitors out of the water. Once we had materials and the layout confirmed at our walkthrough, the project immediately begun two days prior. Our project manager, Luke was amazing help throughout the entire project that took a week to complete. We had a lot of questions and concerns, but Luke was available immediately to answer all those questions and even provided us with recommendations/upkeep for our yard. It has been a true pleasure working with Luke and Weston of Modern Yardz. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade their yard. read more

Modern Yardz was a fantastic company to work with. Right from the beginning, Weston helped us not only create a beautifully designed backyard, but also stay within the budget we had set. They were all very easy to communicate with. If we had questions, they listened well and made us feel at ease with the answers. Russ was very communicative throughout the whole demo/construction process. He did a thorough walk through at the end and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it to be. Domingo and the whole work crew were very polite and respectful when in our backyard. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend using Modern Yardz for your next project! read more

Frank, Thomas, and the team were great! We are very happy on how the yard turned out. They were very professional and communicative. I will be recommending Modern Yards to anyone who asks me for a landscaper recommendation. Things I really liked about working with Frank: 1. He took his time to explain things to us. 2. He understood our needs and advised us on how to better achieve them within our budget. 3. If there was a little change he would keep us informed. 4. His team was professional, hard working and efficient. 5. They adhered to the agreed timeline.Our yard is beautiful, we cannot wait to work with them again in the next stages of our yard.Oh for anyone who might be interested, the project was to place a retaining wall on our slope, pour concrete, place DG, driveway extension, place drainage, set sewer line, water line, gas line and electric. read more

Modern Yardz - The slope was huge. It went all the way to the stepping slabs before they put up the retaining wall. - Landscaping Near Me - San Diego, California

So glad we went with Modern Yardz to have our landscaping done! Starting with the design phase, Jake did an amazing job listening to our ideas while adding a few great suggestions of his own to come up with a beautiful concept. He was very flexible and patient with various changes we made throughout the process. As soon as contracts and estimates were finalized, our project manager Esteban and the crew started working right away. Esteban was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process and would often stop by to check on the progress to make sure everything was ok. I loved his attention to detail! If it weren't for the rain, I'm sure the crew could have knocked it out in a week. Overall, we are very happy with the finished product (just look at the pictures!) read more

Marissa was great on the phone and got my needs taken care of immediately! Definitely ask to speak with her :)

Frank was a great PM - very professional, kind and responsive. The crew (Sebastian + team) executed the work to plan and were very efficient. Overall the project turned out great. My only constructive feedback is that the contract the company uses is very long and could use some refreshing to match latest company practices such as work warranties. read more

I just moved into a new home a few months ago and while we liked our yard, there was a lot of unusable space filled with mostly mulch. I wanted someone that could provide a design to help us visualize how we might maximize the space, and actually do the work to build it out, without having to source the work out to multiple contractors. Tristan was my sales rep and was super responsive. Unlike some of the other companies I met with, he didn't dismiss my ideas or shut me down when I told him we were looking to scope out both a longer-term plan with a pool, and something that could serve us in the shorter term (next 5-10 years). Where some landscape companies would charge for the design alone, Tristan provided it up front and worked with the Modern Yardz team to tweak it to incorporate my requested changes. I told him we had a deadline less than a month out so the yard would be ready for a baby shower we were planning. Isaac was assigned as the PM on the project and came out shortly after the contracts were signed to start the work. Other than one minor delay with the concrete truck, the team worked diligently every day until the job was done, even spending an entire Saturday working to finish things up. They managed to conclude the project almost 2 weeks before our deadline, without any cut corners. I'm impressed with both the speed and quality of their work - would definitely hire them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a one-stop shop for landscape design and construction. read more

We picked Modern Yardz for renovating our backyard by removing our jacuzzi and putting in a high end Pergola. Modern Yardz gave the most detailed quote and lowest price so we went with them. While the project had two unexpected things happen, project leader Luke was able to surmount all obstacles. The team was professional and performed high quality work. I highly recommend them. read more

If you'd like to have the best-looking yard on your street, consider hiring Modern Yardz! After a recent home renovation, we were left with a completely crunchy, dried up, mess of a former lawn. We decided to nix any thought of reviving our lawn and turned to the expert advice of Thomas at Modern Yardz to revamp & revitalize our sad front yard. During our initial meeting, Thomas immediately understood our aesthetic, design goals, budget, and desire to have drought-tolerant landscaping. The 3-D renderings provided were beyond helpful in visualizing our new front yard design and had us excited to start the process. Throughout the duration of our project Thomas and our project manager, Isaac, were incredibly supportive, patient, and thorough in addressing our questions. They were extremely responsive and knowledgeable in offering design/build advice, and we sincerely appreciated their calm & easy-going personalities. Their crew is comprised of hard-working professionals and craftsmen, who worked neat and left the work site impeccably tidy at the end of each day. We've received numerous compliments from neighbors & total strangers on the quality of their work and have inspired others to step up their front yard game. A total win for our street! We absolutely love our fresh & modern new yard, and can't thank Isaac, Thomas, and the whole crew enough for all their hard work. For reference, our front yard project comprised of the following: demo our dated walkway (replace with large, modern, poured concrete pavers & floating steps), add small areas of turf (which actually look exactly like our neighbors' real grass), build a low stucco accent wall, and put in gorgeous water-wise plants with drip irrigation. read more

Jake at Modern Yardz was great. He showed up promptly for our quote appointment and was very straightforward and honest about costs. In addition, he returned my quote in the quoted turn around time AND was the only contractor I interviewed that also included a beautiful visual rendering of what our backyard renovation would look like if we chose to move forward with them. He had great attention to detail and listened well to what we wanted for our project. Highly recommend! read more
