We arranged for him to do the sprinkler repair/supplementation as well as update the timer system. Alex went over and above on all ways. He noticed a spot in he basement (covered by a vent) and took the time to block the access point for mice - this was after he was paid and ready to leave. Our project included updating 10 sprinkler heads, adding 4 heads and 2 water diversions for a raised planter and a privacy hedge. He also upgraded and moved the timer. All of this work was completed in 5 hours or so. Please note that Alex primarily uses Home Advisor for reviews. He has multiple 5 star reviews there.

This was a true word-of-mouth referral that delivered beyond expectations. In just one day, Alex and his team cleaned up both the front and backyard, removed tree stumps, and even repaired and redirected my broken sprinklers to prevent leaks onto my property. I was genuinely impressed by how fast and efficiently they worked. Alex is reliable, punctual, and keeps his word. He's also incredibly patient and knowledgeable when it comes to landscaping, plant selection, and irrigation ideas. I'm absolutely continuing my services with Ramona's son!

We wanted to reduce the amount of grass and add a fire pit, so I worked with the owner, Cor, to design something gorgeous and unique. The price was reasonable and Cor was easy to work with.

Our front yard was a bland mixture of lawn and a hodgepodge of plants I had sprinkled around over…read morethe years, so the transformation into a gorgeous and sustainable garden was truly remarkable. CJ started by asking us what we liked so we compiled a folder of photos of gardens around the neighborhood and the internet. She diplomatically explained why some of our "likes" were better choices than others (based upon available space, budget or sunlight), which helped us avoid some of the problems I'd had in the past with my plant choices! In the end CJ designed a garden that had the "vibe" of our favorite pics without necessarily using the same features. She presented a few alternative layout plans which included various hardscape and plant options, and we chose our favorite, then she came up with the irrigation and lighting plans. I especially appreciated that CJ has established excellent working relationships with a lot of subcontractors (hardscape, lighting, plant and irrigation specialists), so when she got multiple bids from each specialist we knew we could comfortably go with the lowest priced ones because we knew that she trusted their work. The savings right there probably paid for the design fee we paid, not to mention the peace of mind we got from knowing they were well vetted! The installation went very smoothly, and CJ met with the subcontractors to answer specific questions and oversaw the whole operation. We were impressed with how painless the whole process was, and most importantly, the end result was fantastic. It looked great initially, but now looking back we realize that the best was yet to come. The garden has grown in in a very manageable and delightful way and has only improved with age. I would highly recommend Root and Branch for your garden design plans!

They completely scraped the yard and coordinated the grading, drainage, irrigation, lighting and all of the softscape. The highlight of our yard was the natural stone wall that Native Concepts hand selects and places stone by stone. Steve and his crew are prompt, courteous and professional. They treated our property with the utmost respect. They also coordinated with our paving contractor and pool contractor and didn't miss a beat. They are very easy to work with and Steve served as a partner to me and my wife throughout the entire process assisting us along the way with his vast knowledge and tremendous experience. We would highly recommend using Native Concepts. I have only written one other yelp review in my life.

We bought a house that had been sitting vacant for over a year so most of the plants had died and needed to be replaced. In addition, we wanted someone creative to provide ideas to made our grounds look even more beautiful. First, Stephen was personally a joy to work with. He is friendly, punctual, stays in contact every step along the way, extremely knowledgeable and creative. He came up with so many wonderful ideas that we would never have thought of. And he was also knowledgeable enough to inform us of what was practical and not for our property with regard to which types of plants would flourish, which would not, and which would be eaten by the local wildlife! Second, the people that work for Stephen were all hard working, professional, and extremely polite. They were a joy to work with. Third, his prices were perfectly reasonable. Not the lowest (we had some bad experiences with contractors who "low balled" us), but he definitely wasn't the most expensive. His prices were fair and he itemized and documented every expense, so everything was completely transparent. Finally, the completed project is absolutely beautiful. We are enjoying the lovely, peaceful and absolutely gorgeous outdoor environment he created for us. When I'm ready for my next landscaping project I will definitely hire him again.

From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and incredibly easy to work with. Alex had great suggestions throughout the project and really listened to what we were looking for.

What stood out most was their flexibility whether it was timing, changes to the plan, or unexpected adjustments, Alex handled everything with a can-do attitude. It made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. On top of that, the quality of the work was excellent. You can tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in the details.

Not only did he offer a better design, but his price for pavers was actually lower than the concrete estimates I received. They started the very next day after we signed the contract, and even though a few unexpected issues came up during the project, Joseph handled everything smoothly and professionally. About 95% of the work is done now, and he's even installing garden lighting himself for free after the cleanup. The center lawn area is still in progress, but I'm already extremely happy with the results. I'm planning to work with Joseph again on my next project. Highly recommend him.

My Response to the Owner's Reply: Setting the Record Straight…read more I am writing to correct the inaccurate facts provided in the business owner's response. The True Timeline & Scope of Work: During our initial consultation, we were upfront with your former salesperson, Sean. Before signing anything, we showed him the ongoing electrical, irrigation, drainage, and dry-well work being done by another crew. We explicitly stated that the turf installation could not begin until that extensive project was fully completed--which we estimated would take many months, stretching into late 2025. Sean agreed to this, stating he just needed to put a temporary date (May 2025) on the contract to process it. We emphasized that this was not an actual start date. Sean understood and agreed. The Communication Breakdown: The owner claims the company tried to contact me. This is false. No one from this company ever called to schedule an installation. The only phone call occurred when I reached out in May to provide an update, as instructed by Sean. Later, our project faced delays because our sole contractor suffered an accident. Once construction finally finished, unforeseen circumstances forced the sale of the home due to the co-owner's decision. The Deposit Dispute: On January 14th, I called the owner, Ron, to explain the situation. Because we never scheduled an official installation date, this company never mobilized crews, ordered materials, or wasted resources. The only time spent was the initial "free" consultation. Given these unique circumstances, I asked Ron for a good-faith partial refund of $500 (half of my $1,000 deposit), allowing them to keep the rest for Sean's time. Ron promised to check with Sean and call me back within 5 days. He never did. When I called Sean directly on January 19th, he informed me he no longer worked for the company but promised to flag the issue with Ron. After another week of complete radio silence, I posted my review. Misleading Advertising: Prospective customers should also be aware of their marketing practices. I have screenshots of their Instagram ads claiming a "state program discount" for the first five sign-ups. This same ad template is used by multiple different companies across social media. The quoted price was identical to competitors who did not claim to offer any state discounts. Conclusion: If a company reserves a specific date for a client and loses other business, keeping a deposit makes sense. However, keeping a full deposit when no start date was ever set, no materials were ordered, and the sales representative agreed to an indefinite hold is simply operating in bad faith. I am sharing this so other consumers are aware of how this business handles communication and contract flexibility.
