They did an…read moreexcellent job bringing our vision to life, while also offering thoughtful advice along the way to help refine the design so it worked best for the space.

I highly recommend Beyond Remodeling for landscape installations…read more I was a partner in a Santa Monica architectural and design firm and worked for a city Redevelopment Agency, supervising infrastructure improvements, including landscape, streets, sewers, gutters, lighting, etc. I also did work for the Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Department. 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.

There were challenges with sewer line problems in the middle of the project and the crew worked around this work very professionally, even as I was having a melt down. Steve and his crew are very professional and his enthusiasm for the project showed through. I cannot recommend Steve enough.

If I could give Janet and her team more than 5 stars, I would. She is THE BEST contractor of any…read morekind I've every worked with. What makes her so great? 1. She has knowledge in multiple areas that make her well equipped to address the project holistically rather than just address part of it. We had a project that required knowledge in drainage, grading, plants, and cement work. She was able to meet our needs for all of them flawlessly. 2. Her communication is clear, timely, and thorough. Throughout the entire project I always knew what to expect from her team, what they needed from me and when, and how much/when the payments were due. 3. She is very reasonably priced, especially given her combination of skills and the quality of her team members. We learned they have all been working together for 20+ years and it shows in their efficiency and quality of work. Our experience with her was so great that we have already reached out to ask her to work on another project for us.

Janet is amazing!! Even if people are not planning to start yardwork during the COVID crisis, I'm…read moretaking a moment to leave this here for people to see in the future. All the positive reviews of Janet are spot on - she is so easy to work with and brilliant and artistic. It takes a few months to get to the top of her work queue, but she is super organized, and has excellent work process. Her crew is also great. We wanted more drought resistant plants that still looked beautiful and not like weeds, to replace our lawn. She sat down with us, showed us a ton of pictures of plants so we could say: love, hate, indifferent. And she really got to understand our taste. The project is now finished (just in time for San Diego to shut down) and we are getting constant compliments from our neighbors. It's just so beautiful and more environmentally friendly. If you're thinking of using Janet, it's an absolute no-brainer - she is so lovely and was flexible even when we decided to make tweaks mid process.

We hired this company for a custom fence, and while the initial build had some issues the way they…read morehandled the issue completely changed my impression. After I contacted the owner and spoke with Sharon, they took full responsibility and redid the entire fence from the ground up. The new build is exactly what we were hoping for: high-quality materials, solid craftsmanship, and a beautiful finished product that really elevates our property. Custom work doesn't always go perfectly the first time, but what matters is how a company responds--and they absolutely stood behind their work and made it right. That level of integrity and follow-through is hard to find. I would confidently recommend them based on the final result and their commitment to customer satisfaction.

BIG shout out to Sunny Builders Group!!!They are amaaaazing!!!…read more We had 40+ overgrown "hedges" that became more like small trees over the years and were intertwined with old metal fencing. I've wanted to get a new fence for so long, but I was afraid it would be too expensive since the hedges would have to be removed first. I spent 2 weeks getting quotes from various types of businesses that could get the job done... and then I found Sunny Builders Group! With many areas of expertise, they proved to be a one-stop-shop that did all the things I had received individual quotes for: Remove the hedges, grind the stumps, demo the old fence, haul it all away, install a new vinyl fence, DG pathway... and to my surprise, they could even replace my broken granite countertop ! They took care of all the behind the scenes planning and coordination, and we stayed under budget! What a blessing! My experience with them has been fantastic, starting with my very first call to Rachel, she's so helpful and put my mind at ease! The crew was on time, ahead of schedule, and worked together like a well-oiled machine, so quick and efficient! Sunny is an absolute delight to work with! Throughout the whole process, I always felt like he's had my best interest in mind and wasn't just out to make a buck. He's a fair and honest man, and is very generous in sharing discounts and money-saving tips. Even with so much to juggle, he handled it all with such grace and professionalism, and was excellent at communicating every step of the way! Sunny Builders Group exceeded my expectations...and then some!!! I'll be a customer for life and look forward to working with them again on future projects. Thank you Sunny Builders Group, I am forever grateful!!!

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!

We've used Glenn at Black Mountain Landscape initially for our front courtyard but were so pleased…read morewith the results that we had him just recently design and help with supplying the plants for the backyard as well. He has contacts with local area contractors that can also dig the holes and do the planting if that is also what you need.

We needed a landscape designer to help us redo our entire yard--front, back, and sides. After…read moreinterviewing 3 designers, we picked Glenn. We liked that Glenn had a plain-English written agreement, that his fee would cover 3 meetings and up to 3 versions of his design, that he would come back to place the plants, and then again to do a final walk-through. As icing on the cake, Glenn's agreement also included referrals to several reliable landscape contractors for installation and maintenance. We described the landscape style that we wanted, and Glenn turned our concept into a detailed design, including choices for plants, boulders, and stones. With installation just completed, Glenn's design has turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. We couldn't be happier.

Being an older La Jolla home that has been through several updates of different styles over the years, there were multiple mini projects to accomplish. The work they did included extensive vine and root removal, brick work, extending a retaining wall, building a fence, rock-scaping, sod laying, irrigation work, and planting a variety of plants including privacy bushes, small plants, succulents, and a fruit tree.

Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with. I had met with no fewer than nine landscape companies before Smart Landscape and they were nightmares for various reasons. Danny is wonderful to work with and makes sure the customer is happy.

I had been searching for someone to do my patio in front of my townhouse. It was incredibly hard to…read morefind a quality contractor who would do a small job (and not charge for a big job!). Some companies wanted to do the hardscape only, others just plants. After meeting several landscapers and paver companies, I chose Danny and Smart Landscape, in part because they would take care of EVERYTHING from start to finish--concrete and tree removal, paver installation, irrigation, plants, painting, and lighting. Their price wasn't the lowest (or the highest), but I feel I got a lot of value for the money. Danny was kind and very professional throughout the job. He included in the project price my meeting with one of their designers, who made recommendations and helped me visualize what I wanted, and also helped with the selection of plants. Q--the project manager--was wonderful to work with, as well as the guys on the crew. I couldn't be happier with the result! I finally have the space I've been wanting for years, but didn't know how to get there. Smart Landscape made it happen!

Green Dreams was the best decision we could have made for our front yard project! After meeting…read morewith several companies, their team stood out--and they delivered above and beyond. I am so thankful for the entire team: Ryan, Anthony, Luis, Steve, Obemar, and Santiago--they were all amazing! Ryan had great ideas and worked with me to bring our vision to life while staying closer to our budget. He was always quick to respond and supported me even when I needed to make changes along the way. Anthony was always available to answer my questions and great at troubleshooting in a timely manner--even coming by after the project was completed to help with an issue in our patio caused by a different company. He also returned again to help adjust the irrigation schedule, which I truly appreciated! Luis is the kind of person you want on your project every day--kind (the nicest person), hardworking, and incredibly detail-oriented. Thanks to him, my fence turned out beautifully. I'm also grateful for Steve, who helped me visualize everything on paper so I could feel at ease before we started. His plant choices and placement were spot-on, and I really appreciated the extra effort he put in! Obemar and Santiago worked tirelessly under the hot sun, and thanks to their dedication, the project was completed on time. They were so kind as well--we even received a bag full of lemons one day! This review is a little long, but they all deserve a shoutout. I honestly feel like I got more than I was expecting, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

The project was finished on time and within budget, and we're very happy with the results. We would definitely recommend Green Dreams!
