“Monica Perrone was wonderful to work with. She helped our group from start to finish in achieving our landscape goals. Monica drew out samples and explained in detail what our thoughts would look like in reality. She made knowledgeable suggestions of what types of plants would work best for our project and the reasons for these ideas. The plan even detailed the projection of long term water use needed for the area and the plants. Our project looks beautiful and we are very happy with the end result, all thanks to Monica Perrone's expertise.”

“I want you to know that I am very happy with the final plant choices. I am not sure how you did it but, some how you were able to decipher what we wanted the end results to be in our yard. Some days I was not sure what we wanted! Our yard is now not only beautiful but, most importantly manageable!!! We no longer have to spend hours weekly trying to maintain the landscape. Instead we now get to spend that time enjoying being outside in our yard. I really appreciate that you were available to check everything after installation and make appropriate substitutions. You are right it was a learning experience for everyone. Thank you for your patience and holding my hand through the process. I enjoyed working with you. I have already sent your information on to several people who have come to look at our yard.”

“As an architect, I have worked firsthand with Pete Pedersen on numerous projects and have always found him to be a consummate professional. He listens to the client and then creates beautiful landscape solutions that are not only award winning quality, but also are responsive to budget constraints. He is both creative and practical. We always seek to work with Pete every chance we get.”

“I only had a bid done for a landscaping project, but was very happy with the information provided by Garden Lights. They made a home available to me to see their work, which I appreciated. In the end, we decided to put off the project, but I thought the bid process with Garden Lights was very professional.”

“Sarah Ray and her design build firm are nothing short of exceptional. Sarah and her crew restored our trust in the home service industry after experiencing a botched home interior addition & remodel seven years ago. Our experience with Sarah now sets the gold standard for any home service provider we hire in the future. We spent a month carefully interviewing 6 landscape designers, architects, and design-build firms. Sarah was always the front runner and knew the second we hired her that we initiated a great partnership and were embarking on an awesome ride! And it was, on every front. Sarah is not only a talented visionary, designer and expert in her field, but a great listener, collaborator and partner. We have a large flat backyard (about 5000 sq. ft.) that was overgrown and neglected. We had ideas of the style and design elements that we liked, but it was overwhelming to think of how to get there! Having Sarah shepherd us through the design to build process was a privilege and an experience I will always treasure. She is extremely approachable, upbeat, patient, and easy to work with. She was very open to listening to our ideas and iterating on design options together. We also hired Sarah to build/implement our master design plan. A full design-build firm appealed to us because of the seamless and efficient implementation of the design. Sarah is also very available throughout the build process and was onsite nearly every day, as was her foreman. Sarah also met us countless times at various suppliers so that we could carefully select our materials. Her build crew is talented and very hard working. They started at 7:30am and worked for 7-8 hours/day, sweltering hot conditions or not. We really appreciated the undivided attention and the integrity and all-around work ethic displayed by Sarah and her crew. You will also find Sarah to be very transparent. Her billing system is the most logical and straight forward approach I have experienced in the home service industry. The invoice is directly tied to our contracted line items whereby charges reflect only percentages completed on a weekly basis. All change orders were at my request, and were only represented in the invoice if we agreed to it prior. There were no hidden costs or surprises. So, aside from my change orders, the project cost aligned with the signed contracted budget. Sarah created a gorgeous garden space that is everything we ever dreamed of and much more. Our family is looking forward to enjoying this beautiful extension of our home, our new found sanctuary, for years to come. Sarah Ray Design comes highly recommended for any size project. Thanks a million, Sarah!”

“Positively excellent! We would highly recommend David Thorne. David's professional and artist talents are unsurpassed! He is knowledgeable and very easy to work with and down right likable. He communicates his ideas clearly, and listened to our input as well. His entire team was a pleasure to work with in planning our extensive landscape plan. The landscaping and hardscape enhanced the house to perfection. David was keenly aware of the architecture and successfully made a plan to enhance every aspect of our new home. David worked closely with us to ensure we were entirely happy with his design and took a personal interest in many aspects of the actual planting and execution of his plan. Two years later, the garden is thriving all the way around the house, looks spectacular and each season continues to delight us. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness in the types of plantings and trees has brought much joy to the property. David has a winning team and we would highly recommend him.”

“We had a great experience with Liason. They were efficient and tended to our needs. Markus guided us on design and plant choice. He also made changes upon our request. We would definitely use them again.”

“Bio Friendly Gardens is an excellent landscaping service to use in the Bay Area. Lou Dixon is very knowledgeable and is able to give great suggestions and also incorporate any ideas you may have to make a beautifully landscaped yard. He and his crew are also able to design other aspects of landscaping: waterfalls, pergolas, tree houses, stone walls, etc. We used Bio Friendly Gardens to do a large job in 2009; Lou has great design ideas, is easily approachable, and is extremely knowledgeable in native plantings. The quality of his work is excellent; we liked his work so much that the project kept getting larger and larger. We started wanting a patio with waterfall and hillside landscaping with walking paths and ended with an impressive tree house for our grandchildren and a large pergola with climbing grape vines. He and his crew were just here again in Apr, 2014 to help with yearly maintenance and smaller projects that need his expertise. We highly recommend him for any landscaping project you may have--be it large or small!”

“2016- completed backyard remodel. Love it. In addition to the great planting plan redid some of the hard scrape, added in built in benches and increased the usage. It's now a weekend staycation. 2013-Just completed my new front garden and I love it! Jeannie was super easy to work with. Her team was efficient, super clean and mindful. We tore everything out. It's all native CA plants with low watering needs. Nice variety of plants with great color. Design process went well was given three different options to choose from. Definitely would recommend.”

“The work done by Patrick and his team at Equinox Landscape brightens every single day of my life. I love the design, almost entirely suggested by Patrick. I love the quality of the materials and the wokrmanship. We had to modify the project a couple of times while in progress: costs went up too fast once we realized how hard it was to do any digging into the hillside. I also realized I wanted more of a finished look in one area than I had previously indicated. A drought set in and I became concerned about water rationing making it impossible to keep all the projected trees alive. A bobcat attacked my chickens and I changed the design for the coop. So it was an adventure, and in the end there were many changes. The end result though, makes me smile every day. Please work closely with the team to make sure the cost does not go over budget, but keep in mind that this is not just about how everything looks, but also how meaningful it is to you in the end.”
