I interviewed four different landscaping companies before choosing him, and Chris stood out as the most knowledgeable, especially about the Outer Sunset area in San Francisco and what grows best in this climate. He really took the time to listen. We met several times before the work began to design the project, and I never felt rushed. He was flexible, collaborative, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. He stayed open to changes and new ideas as they came up, and he coordinated really well with my contractor. I also found his prices to be very reasonable for single-family homeowners. I don't have much gardening experience, and Chris was able to take the lead in creating a beautiful, low-maintenance backyard that fits my family's lifestyle and the overall design of our home. The backyard he created is a place we'll cherish for years. I'm very grateful to him.

Earthtones did a fantastic job on our backyard turf project. Chris was very responsive, easy to…read morework with, and paid close attention to detail throughout the process. Chris has an eye for design, and made many positive recommendations to improve our overall project. He was an excellent communicator, and stuck to the timeline and pricing in the proposal. We are thrilled with the outcome, and would recommend Earthtones Landscaping to anyone considering a landscaping project.

Jennifer was wonderful from start to finish with our backyard landscaping project! She really…read morelistened to what plants I wanted and what would grow with minimal maintenance (hint: native!) and when I was clueless she helped guide me. She spent a good amount of time and worked really well with our landscape people to make sure everything was in place correctly. We are ready to add in more plants now after 1.5 years! She helped us understand how to not crowd the plants and she was right! I thought her price point was reasonable. Also love that she is local to Pacifica which was a bonus to us.

We wanted a low water, mostly native landscape. She has a thorough understanding of plants, colors, shape, height... And things I never thought of like how fast they'll grow. She even checks in to see how the implementation is going. She has always been available and fast call back. Jennifer really cares about the whole project.

Although we ultimately decided that he wasn't the right person for my project, I really appreciated the pointers and advice he provided me to make my decision on my project.

We tried to schedule a 60 minute consultation with Matt with the intent of gauging whether we…read moreshould engage his full design service. We ran into some difficulties at the start due to a last-minute cancellation by Matt and some unresponsiveness through email. When we voiced our concerns, Matt really stepped up to ensure our concerns were met. He immediately refunded us for the cost of the service, and he offered to meet with us at no cost. We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!

This is to answer back Stephany S, the business employer…read more It's unfortunate that we only received a response from your team after we publicly raised our concerns through a Yelp review. For months, we called and followed up multiple times regarding the issues with the irrigation and the condition of the work, and we were repeatedly ignored. You were aware of who we were despite the Yelp review being under a different name because we were the ones consistently reaching out with no acknowledgment. Regarding the irrigation issue: the damage wouldn't have occurred if your crew had properly capped the existing irrigation before installing the pavers. The fact that you had to redo a section later at no charge doesn't negate that the issue was caused by your team's oversight in the first place. Had you taken responsibility and communicated with us when we initially reached out, we wouldn't have had to resort to a public complaint. It's disappointing that it took a Yelp review to get any kind of acknowledgment.

They truly transformed my yard into a beautiful and functional area!

They worked impressively hard with pride in their workman ship. The final result speaks for its self. Through it all Joel was always available with a smile and help when needed and the job was completed on schedule and on budget... We love our new outdoor area and give a five star thank you to Joel and his fabulous crew!...

Joel, who heads Vigorous Landscaping, was recommended to us by our garden designer and he could not…read morehave made a better recommendation. Joel was a pleasure to work with - personable, knowledgeable, ethical, focused on the details, upfront on the communication, and very fair with the pricing. Joel followed the design to the letter when possible, and had creative suggestions where the design ran into issues because of the property. His team was excellent and worked very full days. And when it came time for them to leave each day they took great care to have the property cleaned and all of the patio areas usable. Overall it was a terrific experience and I can highly recommend Vigorous Landscaping.

The team radically transformed our backyard to a wonderful space. They were incredibly professional and clearly have a plan and know what they're doing. They also took great steps to keep our house clean during the project ( they had to trek through our downstairs playroom to access the backyard, hauling debris, plants, and dirt through and avoiding making a mess). We couldn't recommend them more. Thank you!

Logiculture recently completed a complete hardscape and landscape refresh of our backyard. Rob was…read morevery responsive to my initial outreach over email and in scheduling a site visit. We gave him a general idea of what we were looking for. He came back with a rough sketch of what we were looking for, and an estimate within our budget that included hardscaping *and* landscaping, along with irrigation and a contingency budget. (Lots of contractors we spoke to did landscaping or hardscaping, but not both; and none came with design ideas.) As demolition was ending, Monica came back with more specific designs, including for our deck and specific pollinator-friendly and low-water plants. The design discussion was collaborative and she took into account that the yard would be used by dogs and kids (thus plants needed to withstand less-than-mindful foot traffic). The crew were always on time and left the site (and our garage) cleaner than they found it. Thank you to Rob, Monica, Ryan, Mick, Oscar, and Keith for a fabulous job! As you'll see from before pics, the concrete deck was uneven, small, and the yard was a weedy sand pit. Now it's an amazing entertainment space where the kids can play safely, bees and hummingbirds can catch a meal, and then rest of us can hang out and enjoy!

We had a great experience working with RB Landscaping. After shopping around, they were the only…read moreones who said they would be able to complete a curved Saltillo/ Terracotta path. We hashed out the details with Nate over email. Our area was 8.5 feet by 21.5 feet and involved digging out the subgrade, setting concrete and rebar, tiles (including a curved path), and gravel. We set the construction date for February 19th which lasted until February 25th. Jesus, the foreman, was great at communicating the steps required for the build. He would often check in to make sure that we got the end product we desired and was receptive to feedback for the design. With their workmanship guarantee, we have nothing to worry about. Overall, the process was smooth and hassle free. We would be happy to recommend them to others for their landscaping needs.

Great turnaround time!! Price was reasonable and they didn't try to force us to spend more than we needed to. Jesus and his team made sure my husband and I were involved in every step of the process. He explained his concerns and what they were going to do to try to fix it. He even came back after the project was done the next day to make sure it was installed correctly and he checked the drainage multiple times with a hose. It has yet to be battle tested by the weather but I'm happy with how it turned out! We are even considering them for another project.
