He's very transparent and honest all around, and gave us a few good options to get started. In our experience, he was very open to feedback, and had quick turnaround times between revisions, offering several revisions from the get go and delivering on time. He has a lot of knowledge of landscape and what works well in San Diego County climates, so if you're brand new to all of this, like we are, it's helpful to have an experienced veteran in the space guide you through things. He's very polite and a true gentleman!

The team was very communicative, and two years later our backyard still looks fantastic. They were helpful, attentive, and detail-oriented. They listened to our ideas, made thoughtful recommendations when we needed guidance, and offered options when we weren't sure (for example, which pebbles to use, sourcing grass or materials). The whole process was smooth, and we would gladly recommend them to a friend or hire them again. Our backyard turned out exactly as we had envisioned, and we're very happy we chose Rivers.

Shout out to Gus who supervised both the projects we had done. Many of the team are family which is nice and ensures a quality well supervised product. We had Rivers do both a complete front yard project as well as an outdoor kitchen. We did these projects several years apart but the team integrated the styles and looks like we had It all done together. They are great about turning your very vague ideas into a reality. They think of things you would have never considered and suggest them along the way. This is not an "upsell" because as long as they are not major design changes they include them in the original bid. If you don't use Rivers you won't be using the best. I can't say enough good things about them.

I am utterly confused as to why anyone who has actually worked with Brent would give him a 5 star…read morereview, but I see that almost every positive review is 4+ years old, so maybe something was different back then in how the company was run. Working with him has made me concerned about working with any contractors in the future as my fiance and I are pretty new to home ownership and updates. For one thing, Brent's communication is ATROCIOUS. Every single step of the way. You will always have to hunt him down if you discuss anything. Huge red flag. For another thing, he was COMPLETELY disrespectful of the budget we told him. He smiled and nodded and then proceeded to give us a plan 4-5 times what we asked for. Brent totally botched one corner of our yard, and did not have the competence to fix it, or willingness to look into it further or hire a subcontractor. He has just stopped communicating with us even though as of July 31st of this year he texted us that he would be coming over to look at it again. He does not take responsibility for any of this of course- it is the manufacturer's fault or our fault because our budget was so small (still tens of thousands of dollars) that he was barely willing to take a job like this and he let us know it. After we paid him, of course. His design work is nothing you should pay this kind of money for. We are looking into our rights and options now. I would caution anyone against working with him.

Small yard? No worries, Brookside has your back!…read more If you buy new construction these days you can pretty much kiss that yard space goodbye. Finding ourselves in this situation, we needed a team that could transform our "cozy" yard into a comfortable yet elevated outdoor living space. Enter Brookside. You know that feeling when you hire someone to do a big home project and hope that everything goes well, but you kind of hold your breath in the event that something goes awry? That won't happen with Brookside. From our initial call to the thanks-for-everything completion hand shake, they didn't skip a beat. Everything went SO smooth and communication was on point the entire time. Brookside is a well oiled machine. The conversations between us, Brooks and Jenny, and the crew were fluid the entire time and no one was ever in the dark about the plan. On top of that, everyone was so personable and professional. These guys are hard workers and leave your space clean and organized at the end of every day. We were so happy with how our space turned out. Brookside took our basic ideas for hardscape and softscape to the next level and created a beautiful designer yard. We would hire Brookside again in a heartbeat- and you should too!

Brookside Landscape Design did a phenomenal job. Our backyard went from the typical small, suburban…read morebackyard to a sophisticated and luscious landscape that looks like it belongs as a hotel lounge. Brooks and Jenny at Brookside have such a creative and and beautiful aesthetic that we never could have imagined on our own. Their attention to detail is amazing, and their design concept was truly everything we wanted. Even though we have a small yard, they were able to make it look so much larger by moving things around and creating a better flow. It seriously looks like we added square footage. All of the plants that they chose for our yard are so beautiful and unique. Everyone that comes by wants to know what each plant is called because they aren't the very common yard plants that everyone has...they are so interesting! They chose the foliage specifically for what they knew would grow well in our area and with the sunlight for each side of the house. Thoughtfulness went into every aspect of each item they added...from the plants, to the wood and stone for the built in bbq, the special market lights (that are really unique and fun), all the way to the treated concrete. Everything looks like a step above! The work process was easy, and the crews that showed up every day were gracious, kind, friendly and hard working. Over the weeks we got to know the workers, and it was a sad day when it finished and we knew they would not be showing up again every morning. Even our 5 year old knew their names and would announce to us each day who had shown up in the morning. Jenny and Brooks were also very friendly and kind, and were a joy to work with. Such a great team. I have already been showing off their hard work to our neighbors, who are very impressed with the amazing results! Hopefully they will be in our neighborhood working again soon!

By all accounts I am an expert in landscape improvements. Omri was a joy to work with and kept every promise. We had to work through an obstructive HOA, which caused unnecessary and illegal delays, but Omri stuck with us. We also encountered an unanticipated drainage issue that we resolved together. , The fence and retaining wall are not just well-constructed; they are beautiful. If you are seeking cheap, Beyond is not for you, but if you are looking for quality that will last for decades at a reasonable price, they are a good choice.

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!
