From the moment I reached out to Pat, we connected right away. He is incredibly knowledgeable about landscape design, layout, and all things plants. He really helped us see what was possible. Pat then introduced us to Ricardo, who is the expert in hardscape, mechanical work, and overall execution. Ricardo and his team worked tirelessly to demo our backyard. Once it was cleared, we finally saw how much usable space we truly had -- and we even uncovered a view! We were so pleased with the entire process -- from design to execution -- and absolutely love the end result. Working with Pat and Ricardo was seamless, professional, and collaborative. We're already looking forward to having them transform our front yard next. We highly recommend Universal Pavers for anyone looking to reimagine their outdoor space!

Steve and Awaken Landscapes did an awesome job transforming our very labor-intensive front yard…read moreinto a beautiful xeriscape oasis. We had few ideas on what we wanted, but several ideas about what we did not want. Raquel (Solea Landscapes) listened carefully and designed a beautiful yard, complete with 3D renderings so we could really envision her ideas in our space. They worked with us, even inviting us to shop with them for pots and plants. Steve and Awaken Landscapes did an amazing job in executing her design. Jose and his crew were quick, efficient, and cheerful. They responded positively to our every request, and they kept the job site clean and neat, even with all the mud from February's downpours. Our new front yard is everything I hoped for: beautiful, unique, low on water usage, and easy to maintain. The end result is the talk of the neighborhood. The first night that the accent lights lit up our new yard brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Steve, Raquel, and all the great folks at Awaken Landscapes.

Johan had really useful advice to help us make decisions that would be good for us in the long run. He has a wealth of knowledge of plants, our particular climate in the Lamorinda area, and all of the tactical and technical things around homeownership (he's a contractor). We ended up having a plumbing issue that we needed to address to enable our irrigation and Johan had team members that fixed it that day. Very happy with the results and we look forward to working with him on future projects!

When it came time to build, I found All Around The Garden on Yelp and decided to take a chance. I am so glad I did. From day one, Anthony was professional, punctual, and remarkably responsive. Even though we brought pre-made designs, Anthony didn't just blindly execute them. He walked the property with me and suggested thoughtful adjustments that suited our actual space so much better. His crew was always on time, incredibly courteous, and refused to cut corners. The final result is absolutely stunning, and we can finally enjoy our outdoor space for years to come. I cannot recommend Anthony and All Around The Garden highly enough!

Anthony was quick to respond and schedule a walkthrough to discuss our ideas. He helped us develop a plan, recommended materials that would work best, and provided honest advice about which plants would and wouldn't thrive based on what we wanted. Their pricing was fair compared to other companies, and the project was completed on time. They even followed up a couple of weeks later to make sure everything was still looking great. We're very happy with how our backyard turned out and would absolutely recommend Anthony and All Around the Garden to anyone looking for reliable and fairly priced landscaping services.

We had QGL re-do our front yard. Everything was updated: old concrete driveway and abrasive patio…read morepavers were torn out and replace with new pavers (driveway and patio). The lawn, decorative plants, sprinklers, and drainage were all replaced. We are extremely happy with the outcome. The staff QGL sent was professional and communicative. Chris was our project manager and on site we mostly worked with Paco and a small crew of 2-3 people depending on the day. The project took about 7 weeks. We got 5 bids and Chris' team came in mid-range. At the time of collecting bids, it seemed a fair price for the work. Now that the project is done I'd say it was an excellent value and the best price for the quality of work we got. We especially appreciated Chris' input on the design and plant selection. We had a design from a landscaper, but made a few changes to the shape of the driveway, a small rock wall, and adding a tree. All of Chris' suggestions were fantastic- expanding the driveway line, using Napa basalt, and adding a Crepe Myrtle. Like any project there were a few hiccups,(change to paver pattern near edge, electrical line accidentally cut when tearing up old driveway) but everything was fixed quickly and professionally. The team also phased how the pavers were laid so that we always had a clear and paved walkway to either our door or garage. Tools were put away at the end of the workday and areas swept- this was especially helpful given that we have two young children. We've had at least 5 sets of neighbors tell us how great the front yard looks now. We've done a lot of major upgrades to our house in the 6 years we've lived here (new roof, exterior paint, pool resurfacing, solar install, interior flooring & paint), but this has definitely been the best overall experience and outcome. When we update our backyard, we will definitely call QGL!
