Question other Standards pricing for it might be their practice at all nurseries.

I had the pleasure of working with Newland Landscape. I will start by saying that it was a…read morefantastic experience. I hired Newland Landscape to do a complete hardscape/softscape "makeover" of the front of my home. First, when I started research on a landscaping company, out of all of them I contacted, Newland Landscape was the most responsive and easy to do business with. This really made the experience so much better, not having to chase contractors with inconsistent responses and questionable bids. Secondly, the bidding process and billing was transparent. This also made me comfortable. When additions to the project were identified, a change order with the associated charges was clearly provided and agreed to before any work was conducted. Finally, for the work done, the outcome was outstanding. Great value for the price! Newland Landscape worked with me adjust designs based on the actual work in progress. It was collaborative. The owner, Roland is extremely experienced and made great recommendations. I cannot recommend this company enough.

In the end it was myself who had reached out to the county to make sense of the missing items needed from the contractor. Contractor requested for all payments in advance despite 0 clarity on the project and hardly ever stopped by to inform us of updates - hardly ever answered calls and only ever wanted to communicate through texts, which would then take days to receive a response on. The only time you'd hear from the contractor was when payments were due. Terrible contractor, would not recommend to anyone.

It is an estimate for a block fence wall raise project not involving big design job, I told him we can wait for him Thursday and Friday night even later. It's just red flag.

Other top vendors were quoting $30-40k higher for the job - offering less design features. My very large backyard was a bit tricky as there were many elevation changes that required some top planning expertise in the way of drainage.

My wife and I lease a home in Seal Beach and last year the owner wanted to increase the lease amount at renewal. We knew this additional money would go directly in their pocket and my family would get zero benefit from it. In a moment of genius I countered with "What if we up date the backyard instead" that way your property value could benefit and my family gets a nicer backyard to spend time in. He agreed and everyone was happy. Fast forward to getting the work done: When I made contact with this company they were very courteous and responsive. They came out to the property and spent over two hours with my wife and I going over the possibilities. Of course we shared our budget (I won't share here) and they promised to get back with a couple of design choices. Four days later we got the call, met for coffee and reviewed the options. Every option was within budget making the hardest part deciding which to go with. We eventually decided (my wife did) and they put the wheels in motion. Understanding we were not their only client we knew there would be a slight delay in getting started. During this time we got constant updates and a short 30 days later we were enjoying our new backyard. It was 100% worth the wait and we recommend this family owned business without hesitation.

We can't say enough good things about working with Brianah and her team at Rooted Landscape Design…read morefor our backyard project. An architectural designer friend recommended her, and we quickly discovered first-hand why. We had an esthetic in mind, a short wish-list, and a budget, but we've never done a project like this before. We needed a partner to transform our ideas into our dream backyard. Within a few days of coming out, Brianah presented a design that encapsulated our vision into something real and beautiful. She expanded on our good ideas and where our ambitions exceeded our budget, she showed us ways to get the same and maybe even better esthetic with much less demolition. We really appreciate how continually she checked in, walking the yard before and after each major project step, asking for continual feedback and tweaking the design to her and our suggestions along the way. Our backyard is now our oasis, a magical spot with a wild feel, continually changing, flowering, and growing. We love to see how the space changes through the year and how much our daughter enjoys exploring it. The only challenge is, when guests come over, we must coax them inside for dinner because the backyard is so pleasant and relaxing. We loved the experience of working the Briannah and Rooted Landscape Design. And, we love our backyard.
