    Agave in pot
    Thorina R.

    I loved working with Annie Shaw and her team at Xeric Oasis. She was very responsive to what I wanted, and helped improve some issues that a less talented gardener had implemented before her. Furthermore, she is very warm and is very knowledgeable about our Northern California ecosystems. My garden looks terrific and I only regret that I hadn't met Annie when I first started the project!

    This business and the owners are amazing!! I had 2 giant Agave cacti in my garden that had outgrown the space they were planted in. We loved them, but they needed a home with room to grow bigger. Luckily, our neighbors down the street own Xeric Oasis and I walk by their beautiful garden regularly. I asked if they could use these plants in one of their installations. They came and checked them out and gave me the thumbs up! They dug these beasts out with surgical precision- which was a lot of work. They also moved a plant into the space that remained after the extraction. I am grateful that these beautiful plants are going to a place where others can enjoy them. I highly recommend Xeric Oasis for all your creative, modern landscaping needs and the owners are great people. Thank you Annie and Matt!

Chris was flexible and worked with us as we changed the plan along the way. He brought extensive expertise about what would grow best in our climate (prioritizing drought tolerant and low maintenance plants). He landscaped our yard, installed an automated irrigation system, installed a long flagstone garden path, and installed boulders on our hill. We have a large yard so he installed two gardens: a beautiful succulent sun garden and a more tropical green shade garden. He turned what was a steep dirt hill into a paradise we will enjoy for years to come. Chris prioritized our vision while also bringing his own expertise and eye for detail to the project. He listened carefully to what we wanted, offered thoughtful recommendations, and delivered a result that exceeded our expectations! His work was efficient, high quality, and completed with obvious care and craftsmanship. We're thrilled with the finished project and would absolutely recommend Earthtones Landscaping to anyone looking for creative and professional landscaping work.

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.

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!

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!

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.

They managed every aspect of the project with a high standard of quality and strict attention to detail. Design Expertise: The team was incredibly thoughtful during the planning phase. Their design insights optimized the layout of the hardscape and plants, resulting in a highly cohesive and functional outdoor space. Quality & Speed: The workmanship on the pavers is outstanding, with precise cuts and proper grading. The irrigation and landscaping were integrated seamlessly. In addition to the high quality, the team worked efficiently and completed the project as scheduled. Thoroughness & Cleanup: They were meticulous from start to finish. Once the work was completed, they performed a timely and thorough cleanup, leaving the entire property spotless. Reasonable Pricing: The pricing was highly competitive and fair, offering excellent value for the level of professionalism and quality delivered. I highly recommend Black Diamond for any detailed hardscape and landscaping projects.

The actual people who did the work especially electrical and irrigation were horrible. They turned off the water, with no communication and forgot 2x to turn it back on. The electrical work included an orange cord across the yard, not only an eye sore but a tripping hazard. ( We had to fix ourselves) A bush was removed on accident, I understand it happens but they replaced it with 2 trees in 2 planters that are 2 different colors. It is an eye sore. The irrigation was done wrong, we had to hire someone to come fix it. We paid a good amount and for the price I would have thought it would have been done right. A few weeks after it was completed the water company came and had to rip up the new landscape because they covered it. When I reached out to the project manager, Kirby....he left me on read. I feel like they got our last payment and now dont stand behind the work. Be careful if you hire them.

    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.
