Eco Landscape Design and Build

unknown

I have enjoyed meeting Jennifer and Brad, husband and wife team, who took care of all the details from beginning to end in a pleasant professional way. They kept us informed about every detail of the procedure, including a conceptual design plan and photos of all suggested plants. They were very tuned in to our preferences and tried to accommodate every suggestion we made, even when it meant extra work for them. The crew of workers had a wonderful attitude, they were not at all intrusive, and seemed to work together as a well functioning team. The whole experience was positive from A to Z, and the result is amazing.

They were good.

It was a pleasure to work with Brad, Jennifer and their hardworking crew. They are a great team -- incredibly knowledgeable about plants and easy to work with. Initially, I met with Jennifer to discuss the project. We have a hillside property and wanted to change the plantings around our house to require less water and less maintenance. We agreed that Jennifer and Brad would design a plan for the project ($1500). We then met to discuss the design and specific plants. At their suggestion, I spent time on the internet looking at information and photographs of suggested plants and trees; this was very helpful. We agreed on the general plan and signed a contract. The project began ahead of schedule. As the work progressed, we (predictably) uncovered unforeseen problems and additional areas of the property that needed attention. This added to the cost, but was very worthwhile. (And I gave written approval by email for each addition.) Our new landscaping is gorgeous -- and neighbors are stopping to compliment us. Jennifer and Brad have an excellence sense for the aesthetics of landscaping. The colors of the plants go well with the brick in our front walkway and back patio. The use of rocks as ground cover and to add interest to hillside plantings is very effective. Our new landscaping is much more eco-friendly and should require relatively little maintenance. I recommend EcoLandscape with full confidence and great enthusiasm.

After interviewing 5 other films I finally decided to go with Eco Landscape based on pictures from their website and a good "vibe" I got from Brad (one of the owners). I originally hired Eco Landscape to replace the rose bushes in the front of my house with some more drought tolerant plants and update the pots near our pool area. After the first stage of the work was complete it became clear how talented Brad and Jenn are at what they do. I kept asking for more, and they kept blowing me away with their creativity and professional. When all was said and done, Eco Landscape took my "hum-drum" yards (front/side and back) and transformed them into a small paradise. Everyday, without a doubt, I enjoy the landscaping they have done and feel a sense of peace and tranquility when surrounded by their work. I wish my yard was bigger so we could keep going. In addition to their talent, Brad and Jen were a blast to be creative with and their crew was respectful and thorough. I feel very lucky to have found them.

Brad and Jen have great vision and are very responsive. They're also friendly and funny while being totally professional. Their crew is highly skilled, hard working and clean. First Brad and Jen talked to us about what we liked in our old yard (very little!) and what we hoped for in our new yard. Based on our discussions they created a Design Plan and provided us with visuals like a "plant palette" and "inspiration" images to help us envision the plan. Before hiring Eco Landscape we had a vague idea of what we wanted, but Brad and Jen were able to see even more potential in our yard than we did and they came up with a plan that far exceeded our expectations. Once we had agreed on the plan they tore out the old yard, saving the bricks and our lemon tree and hauling everything else away. They re-used the old bricks to build a "lounge" patio, and used complementary pink flagstones to build a second patio for dining, and to create a path between the patios and the gate. They installed drip irrigation and some targeted sprinklers and planted gorgeous drought tolerant plants, two trees, and ground cover. Finally, they built a horizontal redwood fence all the way around the yard, including two gates, as well as a matching raised bed for a small vegetable garden, and they treated the wood to make it last longer. Brad and Jen communicated with us regularly throughout the process and made some adjustments to the plan in response to our feedback. The crew worked hard and fast - they even worked weekends - and cleaned up every day before going home. They did everything with attention to detail, from stone cutting to planting to fence building. Brad and Jen checked in regularly to make sure everything was on schedule and according to plan. They saw to the smallest details, for example ensuring that we would have a view of the crape myrtle tree from our living room window. Eco Landscape finished the entire project in under two weeks in order to meet our deadline: a big party over Labor Day weekend. Our friends and neighbors say our new yard looks like a picture from Sunset magazine. And now that it's done, we feel like we've added two new rooms to our house.

am very happy with the work done by Eco Landscape- I had had work done by another vendor in my front yard- it was costly and the results were terrible (I should have checked Angie's List first!) So when I decided to have my back yard done I checked Angie's list - and found Eco Landscape- Brad was prompt and pleasant to work with. My back yard was a mess- too much shade, drought and dogs- he and his crew cleared out the entire back yard and landscaped the yard and my planters in three days!! I really like the new planter beds he created- and the small flagstone patio is terrific-I would definitely recommend Brad to any one interested in landscaping Brad created a drought tolerant, low maintenance yard and great looking to boot- exactly what I wanted! PS- every one who has seen my new landscaping has been very impressed

Eco Landscaping made my wife happy! And, as the saying goes, "Ain't momma happy, ain't nobody happy". They did everything from design to completion. They listened to our (my wife's) vision for our yard, and they came up with a plan to fit that vision. We had a big yard and a tight budget, and Brad and Jen were able to find ways to make the design work for us. The work was completed quickly and correctly, and they kept us in the loop so we could make the small decisions that come up when doing any type of construction. Most important to me was the fact that they remained within the budget that we gave them. Brad and Jen take pride in their work. In fact, Brad has been over several times since the project was finished just to make sure that all of our plants (and trees and lawn) are thriving. In the months since the landscaping was completed, a week hasn't gone by where my wife hasn't said, "I love our yard". Now momma's happy, and so am I.

I told Brad I wanted to surprise my wife before she came home from her one week trip. He came the next day to give me an estimate, which I thought was fair and reasonable. Then he started immediately and finished before my wife returned. Eco Landscape did a fantastic job incorporating their landscaping into the already existing look of the house. I, and my wife, are extremely happy with our zen oasis.

We had just finished some major construction at our home and had the front yard to deal with. After speaking with Brad on the phone, we made an appointment for him to come look at our gravel pit of a yard. It was clear from the beginning that he loves what he does and he expressed enthusiasm for the drought resistant/low maintenance plan that we had for the front. A couple of weeks later, he and Jennifer came over and we had a discussion about our general ideas for the yard. In about a week, they came back with the most perfect design- we were so happy and it was very clear that they had listened to everything we said and really put together a whole plan for the front- each element tied together to create a clean and attractive setting. We started the work with them the next week. They finished the entire project in less than a month- their crew was fast, professional, and did an excellent job on each part of the project. Brad was on-site everyday overseeing the work and he was extremely receptive to our feedback during the process- we decided to add a few elements over the course of the work and he was very flexible and was able to incorporate the changes without any problems. Jennifer made a perfect suggestion to paint the trim of the house a different color to better marry the architecture with the landscape, which really is pulling the whole look together. We are more than thrilled with the outcome. We have a home now that is unique for the block, is an expression of who we are as a family, and we are proud to drive up to it each day. Also, we were so glad to work with such nice people that showed a genuine interest in their work. Even before they began, they came to our home on multiple occasions to take pictures and think through some of the challenges of the site (sloping, drainage, etc.). Judging by the speed of the work and the smoothness of the whole process, they really planned the whole process through and it resulted in a great client experience.

We loved working with Brad and Jen - they are smart, creative, personable, and incredibly hard-working. They listened to our wants and needs and have come up with a plan for our landscaping that fits our house, our style, and our personalities better than we could have imagined! We appreciate the time they spent just listening to us and their impressive attention to detail.
