They completely transformed our front yard and our backyard and reconstructed our front entrance, meticulously setting beautiful blue stone steps and lighting to enhance our curb appeal. We also asked for help with our backyard and again the Seescape crew did a wonderful job. They are so respectful, hardworking and focused on every detail! They installed a new blue stone back patio, privacy screening, reconstructed a French drain and removed half of our lawn. We had it replaced with a low maintenance creek bed design outlining a mounded planting area to give us a beautiful and unique backyard that offers us a great outdoor dining and living space. Bob and Helen are very down to earth, very knowledgable about plants, design and hardscape, and offer valuable and often practical suggestions based on years of experience doing hundreds of varying projects, both in size and complexity. We highly recommend them for any of your projects. Their nursery is one of my favorite places to visit - if you love natural beauty, you need to check them out!

What a major disappointment this business is! We needed a major overhaul of our backyard and after…read morea few flakey gardeners came and went, we decided to look for a professional contractor. Well the owner Stephen is anything but! After his initial visit and telling us he WOULD do the job, but he had to finish up another customer and scheduled us for 2 weeks later. That 2 weeks turned into a month of us constantly calling, emailing & texting to even get a response, which was full of excuses. When we finally got an estimate a month later he left off most of what we wanted done! He did revise it after my husband let him know, but by this point we knew this guy was just another flake when he told us he didn't know when he'd even be able to start. WE COULD HAVE HIRED A REAL LANDSCAPER A MONTH AGO AND BE ENJOYING OUR BACKYARD!

We took out a lot of the grass and installed gravel with beautiful plantings and an olive tree. They built a pergola with privacy screening over our new hot tub. Built raised planter beds and created a fire pit area. They also helped with screens that will trellis vines to provide shade and privacy. We also have a low rock wall that separates the lawn from the gravel area. Mike was great about communicating with us all along the way. I really appreciated his friendly crew. They always cleaned up at the end of the day. They take great pride in their work. Much appreciated. I would highly recommend them for any job.

Hagy turned our backyard into our favorite room of the house. It's gone from dog run to vacation…read moredestination. What was an unusable slope of dead grass behind our house is now a combination of tropical wood and stone desks that provide an outdoor dining/entertainment space for 10, a firepit area for our teens and their friends, and a combination seating area with a Jacuzzi that provides both a great place to have morning coffee as well as a late night soak under the stars. Hagy was very responsive and took our ideas to the next level. Their experience in doing work in the Sonoma area and creative approach brought a wine country touch to our Novato backyard. The crew under the direction of Mike was always friendly and leaned up our jobsite like it was their own yard at the end of every day. They even worked around the needs of our dog so it always had a place to go even if the yard was in full demolition mode. Hagy does not mark up the materials they use and they provide clear and concise billing. So, they are both accountable and fair when it comes to dealing with your budget. We would strongly recommend Hagy regardless of the size of your project. They can make even a basic backyard turn into a special place.

Owen and his designer came over and looked at the property then gave us a quote about a week later. The quote was very hard to read as it had quite a bit of legal jargon. I emailed the designer and I said I am having trouble reading this it looks like it was written by your lawyers. Oh my how these two flipped out. They were on a group email and did not know it. The designer told Owen what we said and Owen responded to him by saying "lawyers, WTF this guy is a dumb ass, I knew they couldn't afford me to begin with." Who's the dumb ass now. Any way we fired them and got a terrific landscaper who we are absolutely happy with.

Owen and his company, Mitchell Landscapes, were highly recommended by the landscape design company we worked with. We obtained other bids, but ultimately selected Owen because of how personable, professional, and knowledgeable he was. We couldn't have been happier with the end result. The ten-week project included a concrete patio, retaining walls and steps, irrigation, drainage, lighting, fencing, pergola assembly, gas and electrical lines, plants, ground cover (gravel and mulch), and fire table and hot tub installation. Owen's crew was skilled, friendly and hard-working. His foremen Al and Nestor were amazing to work with and did an outstanding job leading the project. Owen was closely involved every step of the way. He provided numerous suggestions that either weren't in the original plan from the landscape design company or were an improvement to the original plan. This was one of the biggest reasons we're glad we worked with Mitchell Landscapes - Owen's combination of strong design and practical sense resulted in a landscape that far surpassed the original plan. Owen was also honest, transparent, and fully committed throughout the project. Even after our project was completed, Owen and his crew came back several times to check plants and irrigation, as well as to unload and carry a 600 lb fire table into our backyard. After the outstanding experience we had working with Mitchell Landscapes, we will definitely use them for all of our future landscaping projects.

Throughout their work, Novara demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and a strong commitment to quality from start to finish. I am a homeowner in San Rafael and a gardener, so this project was very important to me having purchased the home in 2025 with a backyard in extremely poor condition. Both the owners, Steven and Esteban, as well as their team, made this project a real pleasure. As a commercial property manager, I have worked with numbers of contractors and Novara gets high marks for their performance which makes them stand out! Novara performed removal of significant old tree root structures and damaged hardscape, installation of a drainage system, hardscape installation including a very attractive colored concrete and tumbled brick, as well as the irrigation and planting of my softscape plan. They performed each phase of this project with great attention to detail and coordination which resulted in an efficient, and well-organized job site. Their grading/drainage work was just what I needed to prevent water damage to my home's foundation. The concrete installation was well executed and finished professionally. In addition, the irrigation and planting installation reflected both gardening knowledge and care, resulting in a wonderful foundation for my new garden. What stood out most was their responsiveness, the willingness to explore options to stay within my budget and their construction expertise. Additionally, I appreciated the professional estimates and contract format that provided clear and detailed specifications. Based on my experience, I would confidently recommend Novara Landscape and Construction to anyone seeking a capable and trustworthy contractor for grading, drainage work, hardscape and softscape installation and the necessary irrigation for a successful landscape project.
