I hired Skywood Landscaping to complete a major renovation of my house's backyard primarily because…read moreof their stellar reputation and expertise with design and installation of paved patios. Ken Truong (owner of Skywood) and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Ken carefully listened to my objectives during an initial site visit. I didn't have a particular design in mind, but within about 10 days Ken was able to prepare a written proposal that included 2D and 3D photos of what the finished landscape renovation might look like. This was really helpful because only few iterations of discussion and revisions were needed to complete the final proposal. Demolition of the existing backyard included removal of trees, artificial turf, patio blocks, and a considerable amount of soil. This phase was completed relatively quickly and without any problems due to Skywood's obvious experience. The next phases included installation of drainage pipes and conduits for lighting and irrigation and then covering with rock base and pavers. Skywood's efforts during these phases included an uncommonly high level of attention to detail to ensure that rainwater would flow away from the house and into the storm drains. The final phases included installation of a redwood fence, installation of rock veneer and capstone to cover a retaining wall, and installation of lights, plants and irrigation to produce a really beautiful garden. Despite several hot summer days, Ken and his crew always had a friendly, positive attitude and left the worksite clean each day. I give Skywood Landscaping my highest recommendation, and I would surely hire them in the future.

What a wonderful experience replacing my small backyard lawn. For years, this area was difficult to…read moremaintain. It was a curved area and hard to irrigate as well. Ken suggested I look at their newer samples of artificial turf. There has been some progress in materials which are durable and cooler than the older materials from years past. I love my new lawn! I can walk on it in the sun with bare feet, and no more wasted water. His crew were very experienced and able to complete my new landscaping project in just one day. Their crew even straightened out some crooked paving stones I had been meaning to fix. So kind of them. While working around my existing landscaping they protected everything. No damage anywhere. And the cleanup was perfect. Real top notch pros! Even the quote was incredibly affordable. I could not recommend anyone as high as Skywood.

My experience with Alex began when he replaced a leaking valve that had been an issue for two…read moreyears--and immediately noticed two more valves that would soon need replacement. What I really appreciated was that he visited my home while I was at work; I had sent him a video of the problem beforehand. Then, on a Saturday, he drove all the way to my house to meet in person and discuss a bigger project: replacing the entire irrigation system for my property. As we talked, I discovered Alex has decades of experience and truly knows his craft. As a woman, I felt completely comfortable working with him, especially knowing his pricing was fair--something that hasn't always been my experience as a single female homeowner (I'm sure other women can relate!). Alex and his crew replaced my irrigation system while I was at work, and he even came back to fix a few minor issues--things I might have been able to manage myself but was grateful he handled. The fact that he drove from Petaluma to Sausalito during rush hour, despite living in Novato, really showed me his dedication, strong work ethic, and commitment to client satisfaction. He's now my go-to person for irrigation and other home needs, as his team offers a range of services beyond irrigation. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex for your irrigation projects. Plus, he's knowledgeable about rainwater catchment systems, which I'm planning to install at my home next year!

He's now helping us decide on which installer to use. We've found Ian to be very easy to work with. A good listener. His original design was right on, great design, and we made very few tweaks.

He also understood we are budget conscious and never made us feel uncomfortable with wanting to do certain things on a budget - he totally got it. Great listener. He followed up when he was supposed to, very timely, very respectful. He was very easy to work with, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Will post pics at some point once we finish everything! We feel lucky to have found him.

I was working with a separate pool contractor at the same time, and they coordinated around that seamlessly. They were efficient, professional, and impressively clean throughout the entire process. Jose, the foreman, was fantastic to work with. He communicated clearly, was extremely kind, and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The work turned out beautifully and am getting compliments from friends and neighbors. If you are planning to get to landscape your yard, do yourself a favor and have Owen and his team at Keystone Yards do it for you!!

From their demeanor and professionalism to the actual execution of the work, it all exceeded our expectations. Our project involved a LOT of elements, including having to level ground, move pre-existing fencing, removing trees, adding pavers, turf and lots of foliage. They understood our needs, vision and made it all happen to transform an unusable yard into a backyard oasis. They guided us through any challenges or decisions along their way. 10 out 10 times I trusted their suggestions and expertise. As for timeline and pace of work, they gave us a timeline from the start and stuck to it exactly, moving even quicker. They are hard workers and will do whatever tit takes to get the job done. Most importantly, they LISTEN to you and communicate extremely well. We can not be more appreciative of their work and will absolutely be using Keystone for all other home projects moving forward.

We worked with Kellie and the Integral Landscapes team to landscape our front and back yards. Both…read morewere primarily lawns that we'd let go during the drought. The irrigation system in the back had been destroyed by our puppy, and the front was a huge weed patch. Kellie and her colleagues took a lot of time to get to know us and our needs/hopes, which were: low maintenance; drought resistant/tolerant but not succulents; and dog friendly/durable. We shared photos of landscapes, trees, plants, and color palettes that we liked, and then Kellie worked her magic! She and her crew worked steadily, cleanly, and thoughtfully, and they communicated regularly throughout the process. Once everything was in, we opted to continue working with Kellie for monthly maintenance and really value the care and support that the team provides. Because of Integral Landscapes' good work, the team tends to be busy, and while we began our work with them in the summer/fall of 2018, they weren't able to begin working on our landscaping until early in 2019. But, once on site, we were a clear focus for them, and the work-- even with some rainy days-- was done quickly and well. In other words, it was absolutely worth the wait! We also had to navigate our budget a bit, and the team was thoughtful and supportive on that front. We opted to stretch our budget and the team was able scale back on a few things without compromising on the overall plan and vision. It was worth every penny. Kellie's professionalism, expertise, discerning eye and genuine care, the meticulousness and excellent planning of the whole team, Kellie's affection for our rambunctious dogs, and the team's clear and open communication has made Integral Landscapes an absolute pleasure to work with. We feel lucky to have found them and give them our most enthusiastic recommendation!
