"Patrick and his crew did an amazing job for us in the Fall of 2019. They were a pleasure to work with each step of the way. He was always courteous and prompt and showed up when he said he would. We had received four other bids and Patrick was the only one who was able to understand our vision and offer a perfect solution for the slope in our backyard. We didn t want just retaining walls and we didn t want to take out our mature trees. He came up with a plan that gave us two retaining walls (one is a seating wall) with a pathway in between and connecting to two spacious patios nestled among the trees. There are stairs and built-in LED lights and it s so pretty! He also added a paver path from the patio on our slope to our existing stamped concrete patio with a small paver floor under the gazebo. We liked his work so much that we had him come out in the Spring of 2020 and add another paver patio for our Catio. They were able to tie it all in with the existing pavers and concrete and if all flows together so nicely! Once we turned our sprinklers on, we noticed a drip line had been cut. Patrick sent his crew out immediately and repaired it good as new! We highly recommend Outdoor Innovations by Patrick Richie."

"Very happy with our experience with Outdoor Goove Permanent Elite Lights. Brad was professional and easy to work with and did really a nice job with the installation. The lights look great. Definitely happy with the overall experience and would recommend them!"

"Mr. Valasquez gave a quote on installing a complete lawn irrigation system with a rain detector. We hired his company. They did a fantastic job. The job was completed in a timely manner. It is great, not to have to haul the garden hose around the lawn, to water. We highly recommend Valasquez Landscape and give them 5 stars."

"Great communication and quick to provide a quote and schedule installation. We are thrilled with the lights and quality of work! One of the lights broke and they came and fixed it same day."

"Provider arrived promptly the same day to assess a problem I created when attempting to install new light switches in the master bedroom.  He quickly assessed that I didn't complete a connection, did the job himself, and put everything back together.
Probably wasn't exactly taxing his skills, but he did the job promptly and professionally."

"After my previous tenant left the property unchecked and out of control, I contacted Martin at Pro Landscape Concepts. Martin and his team were fantastic in completing the job in less than three days leaving "no weed unturned"! I will look to hire Martin and Pro Landscape Concepts when I am ready to do a full restoration of my property."

"Roger has a GREAT independent consulting landscape designer (Aimee) who does some of his designs. She did a great job. Quality of design: EXCELLENT.

Sadly, the remainder of our experience was so challenging that we pulled out without signing the install contract ($41,000 worth of work.) My hope is that this review will enable others to take advantage of Roger's team without encountering the "bumps in the road" that led us to call a halt.

The key to working well with Roger at this point in time** is to ensure, much more than with other contractors, you have great clarity of expectations and minimized assumptions. We went into the process assuming his team worked like others we've engaged over the years... and the result was quite painful.

A few things we did not know, and were not communicated to us up front.**

1) Accent works best and most easily with clients for whom Quality and Timeframe is far more important than Cost. Not that anyone wants to waste money of course, but some are more on the end of "Here's the keys, please take care of it" while others are more "We have a dream; how can we make it fit our budget."

Accent's perspective: they help you create your dream design, then help you fulfill it during installation. To do so they do their work and select their materials in a certain way with a certain cost. At this point** they have very little flexibility to vary from their "normal" choices. We did not know this up front, to our detriment.

2) Accent can prioritize a client in their schedule, if a 100% solid commitment for the install is made even before knowing the cost. Be sure you're clear with them on what YOU need before you can finalize your commitment to go ahead with the install. In our case, for example, we feel compelled to get at least two estimates for any major work. Due to the lack of prior mutual agreement on these things, there was quite a lot of pain. We felt great pressure to simply accept everything without question, in order to get even the design completed.

3) Accent is currently** unable to provide any cost breakdowns of an install estimate. Nor can they provide tradeoffs allowing you to come close to your dream design without breaking the bank. We didn't know this up front, and they weren't particularly forthcoming about it (after all, I've never seen a contractor that has this limitation!) The result: we received a single cost estimate for the install, with no ability to adjust it in any way.

Ultimately, in our case the $41,000 estimate was beyond our budget. We had to make a hard decision: take it or leave it. No other option available. GREATLY saddened, because we like Roger, and really really wanted to be able to work with him to finish what he had started... We left it.

For ourselves, we quickly found another contractor who worked with us to fulfill the design concept at a price we could afford.

As for Accent, this was a very sad experience. I offered to work with Roger to get past their lack of good communication and rigid stance toward clients. Several months later, I did hear back... we've spent time working it through.

**I believe he has heard my concerns now and is working through what it will take to change their practices, both in terms of personal interaction, up-front communication, as well as modifying their back-end systems so they have at least some understanding of their own cost breakdowns and tradeoffs, let alone providing a bit of project cost breakdown and potential alternatives to clients.

My recommendation: DO use this company if (a) you are confident you will like their design; (b) cost is a lower priority than quality; (c) you want to have a high end, high quality landscape designed and installed with little or no decisionmaking on your part.

And by all means, take the time up front to ensure there's solid mutual understanding of expectations and processes."
