Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces

After living in my home for 20 years, my yard was in desperate need of a redo. I had been wanting to freshen the landscape, replace the lawn, and add a patio in the back for a while, but the whole idea was so daunting I kept putting it off. And there was the added difficulty of accessing my backyard and grading issues. Extensive work that my dad, a retired contractor, had noted and was uncomfortable with himself, even though he agreed it all needed to be addressed. After talking with several other parties, I came across Navid from Outdoor Makeover. He was confident that all the issues I was concerned about would be no problem. AND he was absolutely right. In six consecutive days, he and his crew transformed my whole yard with a patio, grading, stump grinding, improved drainage, landscape plantings, improved my existing sprinkler system, and added a side parking space. Navid came to the site every day. He and his men were diligent and always positive, willing to address any concerns I had. He was a good listener, very patient with my slow decision making, addressing every concern, was never in a rush when it came to my needs and was always in constant contact. Navid offered to talk with anyone else I wanted involved and even walked my neighbor around to show him what was happening. He and his crew moved furniture around, adjusted plantings, and made suggestions that would make my life easier. After the job was complete,( and balance paid), you’d expect a clean up, which they did. But what I didn’t expect was the extra mile they went in pressure washing the drive, an existing swing, an existing concrete bench and placing furniture. Navid followed up the next day to make sure I was happy to which I responded with some adjustment requests, that were immediately done that same day, with a second followup to make sure that those were addressed correctly. One of my neighbors expressed how much he had enjoyed watching the process. Another, asked Navid about some water feature issues. I feel very fortunate to have found such a professional and conscientious company. Should the need arise in the future, I will definitely contact Navid and Outdoor again, and I think my neighbors will too!

It started with a laundry list of some outdoor items we wanted to take care of: 1. Fix chain link fence in back yard (damaged by falling tree/limb) 2. Mulch & Pine straw for front and back yards 3. Replace back yard deck 4. Design suggestions to “Touch up landscaping” in back yard 5. Design suggestions to “Touch up landscaping” in front yard 6. Assess big hard wood trees on property – any that pose a potential threat of uprooting/falling? I actually googled “pine straw” and Outdoor Makeover popped up and I could see 5 Star ratings. That certainly piqued my interest. After reading several of the reviews (even the ones that said they are not cheap – but the quality and service are outstanding) – I decided to reach out via the website to inquire about my ‘to do’ list. I was impressed with how responsive the team was and how quickly I was able to schedule an appointment for Navid to come and meet with us. When all was said and done (a couple of “phases” for different projects) we ended up with: Several trees removed and stumps ground Makeover of front yard (plants, stonework, mulch, sod, etc.) New driveway and walkway to front door steps Sprinkler system in front yard Lighting in front yard Corrected drainage issues Repair of HUGE sink hole in backyard (unexpected, but Navid’s keen eye picked up on the issue) New wooden deck in back yard with built in planter (great job by Omid and team) New stone patio in back yard Plants and Sod in backyard Stepping stones, mulch, pine straw, etc. in backyard Sprinkler system in back yard Lighting in back yard Repair of fence in back yard (not really their “thing”, but Navid helped us out) Hopefully I didn’t forget any of the major items! Navid and his team, and Omid and his team: Were wonderful to work with Listened to our input and asked follow-up questions for clarification Touched base/involved us every step of every project to be sure we were satisfied and that our requirements were being met Were flexible with us if we decided to make modifications and explained if the changes would increase the cost Came in with a full team for each project and completed it quickly (per the schedule they indicated – except when weather interfered) Followed up after project completion to be sure everything was OK and corrected any small items that were not Thank you Navid and Omid! Carolyn & Mike M.

Navid does things the old fashion way, RIGHT! At the end of the day… the prep/foundation work makes for long term customer satisfaction and he understands this as a solid business man. He strongly encouraged us to address our drainage issue which I never told him about… he just knew by the topography of our yard. Dollars well invested. Navid transformed our backyard from an eye sore into an area of relaxation: wonderful landscaping, patio, stone fire pit and stone seating wall. Navid understands the importance of completing a project on time. As such, he had an entire crew at our house, with no interruption until completion. Our project called for work on adjacent properties. Said properties were reconditioned well beyond their initial status… happy neighbors. Navid is a great communicator: he is prompt at returning phone calls and proactively communicates his plan for the following days’ work. Did I mention that he listens too!. After installation the follow up was terrific. Replaced warranted plants within a week. We have since engaged Navid to add landscape lighting to the front of our house which is nothing short of magnificent! We plan to have his team work on phase two or our landscape project. Highly recommended

When my wife and I discovered Outdoor Makeover and Construction we were at our wits end with contractors and landscape companies. Between missed appointments, phone calls not being returned, and work being incomplete we thought our project(s) would never be completed. Thankfully we discovered Navid and his team and that all changed. From the initial meeting with Matthew, to a more detailed follow-up consultation with Navid, the company listened to our desires, concerns, and even filled in gaps where we were unsure of what we wanted to accomplish. The team redid a front stoop, built a retaining wall, installed backyard access, and improved drainage in our yard all at a very reasonable and competitive price. The results exceeded our expectations. All of the crew members were respectful of our property, the worksite was clean at the end of each day, and communication of progress remained constant. The crew even provided extra services at no additional cost, which was completely unexpected. Our satisfaction was such that we have had additional consultations and will be having the company come back to complete additional work to our home. Thanks again to the entire Outdoor Makeover team.

If you live in Atlanta and aren't using Outdoor Makeover and Construction then you are simply doing it wrong. Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about Navid and his team! My yard is beautiful (or it will be in the spring) and he, and they, more than exceeded my expectations! Navid was patient, knowledgeable, flexible, and funny (although not as funny as he thinks he is.) I interviewed four or five companies after hitting a roadblock with my original landscape designer, and while I ended up spending decidedly more than I originally intended, he made me feel good about the decision. The work was done right and thoughtfully and I am super excited to see how it all grows in!

In this day and age, good and trustable contractors are hard to come by, they are out there, but you always seem to roll the dice on whether you found one, well with Outdoor Makeover and Construction you have nothing to worry about. They were prompt to reply to our original request for contact. An appointment was set up to review our backyard and Navid from Outdoor Makeover showed up on time and handled our home with care by making sure he didn't track mud into our home. The knowledge shown offered quick trust that we were in good hands and a plan for our new patio was presented promptly. The pricing for the services rendered were more than fair, and well worth it. The work was completed on time, and on budget without any issues with the staff. The end product is one that we will enjoy for years and years to come. Not only Have I recommended them to several people I know, but I would definitely use their excellent services again.

Great After 2 years of looking at our depressing, bare back yard surrounded by a chain link fence we researched landscapers and selected Outdoor Makeover and Construction based on customer feedback and a consultation with Navid. Navid came to our home to discuss possible landscaping options, taking into consideration our budget, objectives and our idea of low maintenance landscaping. He also worked with us to incorporate our ideas including plant selection and design and spent time discussing our concerns regarding drainage issues and various solutions. We were very satisfied with his willingness to work with our time line and schedules and he made several visits to work out details of the project. Navid kept us informed of any possible issues and stopped by frequently to see if we were satisfied with the progress. Navid and his crew were on schedule, efficient, and transformed our back yard into an area for relaxing and entertaining. Based on our experience, we would definitely recommend Outdoor Makeover and Construction.

Navid and his company were phenomenal. I gave him a general idea of what I wanted and he came up with amazing design ideas. I could not have imagined our backyard turning out any better. Navid is professional and truly cared about us as his customers. He made us feel like VIPs throughout the process from start to finish. We plan to use him for a couple of more projects down the road.

Working with Matthew, Navid and Kathleen is a joy! Although it was a small project, they made a big difference. I was impressed with the team work of the crew. They seemed to really enjoy the work and happy to be working with Outdoor Makeover. Contractors who actually do what they promise, do it on time and on budget are rare. My biggest aggravation as a homeowner is finding those rare contractors. The folks at Outdoor Makeover are just what I'm looking for. Give them a call. You'll be happy you did.

Great experience! Owner Navid was very creative, professional, patient. He was adamant about meeting all our expectations and getting things perfect. His teams were always on time and very professional, polite and hardworking.

Navid and his team were on time, constantly working hard and always responsive if there were any questions by my wife or myself. He kept us involved in the process as the plan continued to evolve. Perhaps most satisfying was that while we were promised a lot, those promises were not only lived up to, but also often surpassed. For example, as the project was underway, it was clear that we would need more plants than we had thought. Navid made suggestions that would be cost effective, beautiful, and work within the existing plan. He over delivered on his suggestions, and the yard, as a result, is that much more user friendly and beautiful. More importantly, what we were told would happen, did happen. Navid insured that the work was done correctly, on time, and in the manner that had been promised. Truly reliable, honest, and very talented, Navid and Outdoor Makeover make sure that they stay on budget, on time, and follow through on every detail. Can't say enough good things.

I wasn't really certain about exactly what I wanted, but I knew that I needed to feel PRIVACY, and I needed a way to truly enjoy my backyard. I originally considered enlarging my existing patio, or adding an enclosed porch or a trellis. Navid came for my initial consultation, and we walked the yard together. We talked about what I wanted, what I liked about the yard, and what I didn't like about the yard. We talked about ways to achieve privacy, and ways to use the yard I had. From that conversation, I realized that I didn't want to ADD to my house, but rather I wanted to focus on ways to enjoy the yard I had. Navid really listened to my concerns and to what I really wanted, and he designed a beautiful, tranquil, private space that cut down on the amount of grass I mow, increased the natural areas in the rear, created a way to enjoy a little covered canopy of pines in the far yard with a patio for my fire pit. The end result is truly a beautiful space that increases the value of my home, while it intensely magnifies the enjoyment I get from my backyard. It will be a space in which multiple generations of my family will gather. I never imagined how dramatically LIGHTING would change my backyard: thanks to Navid for pushing that idea...I'm a believer!! **I want to add here that I am someone that is very price-conscious, and I am very focused on VALUE. I had 2 additional landscape companies come out to my house to walk my yard and discuss my project. I felt most comfortable with Navid; he is very creative; he listens and creates a vision. He was sensitive to the fact that I wanted to do myself the work that I COULD DO MYSELF (rather than pay him to do it). And I did ALOT of work to save myself some money (cleaned and stained my own fence; added a new section of fence; mulched the finished project myself). We came in on-budget, in spite of different little glitches with my old sprinkler system. I am THRILLED with the value I received for my hard-earned budget. I cannot be more enthusiastic in my recommendation of Navid and his team. Special thanks to Fausto for his patience and kindness in working with my sprinkler system and getting it right!!

We’re new to the area and we haven’t done many large home projects before so we were a little lost and unsure on how to proceed when we decided we wanted to put a roof over our patio and install a fireplace outside. We did some research and looked at different contractors but were pretty much sold after just a couple meetings with Navid and Omid. We were just so impressed with their honesty and experience and we could tell that we could trust them with our home. They were both extremely responsive throughout the entire process and we were surprised and appreciative by how much communication we got from them the entire time, even during slow periods while we were waiting for materials and permits to come in. They made a lot of great suggestions that we would have never thought about but love now that it’s all installed. They really worked with us to give us an amazing end result and still stay within our budget, and I could tell how passionate they were about their work and delivering something that we would love and they would be proud to build. It almost felt like we were working with a really close friend who cared about us and making sure we were happy. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who was looking to turn their outdoor space into a wow factor.

We evaluated several different companies to help us develop and implement a vision for our landscaping design and outdoor living space. We are very pleased that we found Navid and his crew from Outdoor Makeover and Construction. They not only took time to understand our ideas but to make recommendations that ultimately exceeded our expectations. Thank You Navid and Outdoor Makeover!!

Navid created a design based upon my requirements which will ensure that the yard will no longer flood, a huge patio and build a retaining wall. The storm drains were extended and a dry creek bed was installed to ensure that water is channeled and won't flood. It's awesome!

The personnel from the company was on time and spent a good amount of time looking over the yard and giving us suggestions on what we could do. He then did a design but this design was definitely not satisfactory. All it was, was a piece of paper with a basic drawing of how our patio could look like. I was expecting a more detailed drawing, perhaps in AutoCAD, that gave us a 3D view into how the yard could look. Instead we had a piece of paper with most of the details related to the cost breakdown for the work required to be done. If the company is going to tout doing design, they should follow through with something more detailed that the customer can take as a basis for future work that needs to get done.

We never used them. We haven't used anybody. Price is a little high. Their work is beautiful, they do houses and businesses. They are very nice.

I was impressed from the moment I called the front office to make appointment. Very professional and seemed interested and engaged in my project from the start. I was very impressed, the team showed up 10 minutes early and worked hard to get project done in time for my party. This is the first time I write a review and hope look forward to working with Navid and his team again. They do beautiful work and could not be nicer - the price is fair - not the lowest but you get quality work

The experience was positive from start to finish. Navid listens and asks questions, trying to figure out your priorities. He makes suggestions, but doesn't pressure. While the cost was higher than other quotes we had received, the service and final product are phenomenal and totally worth the expense. Navid is responsive to any issues that arise and he stays available after the project is completed. Our backyard is our favorite part of our house now. We hope to have the opportunity to transform our front yard in the future with Navid and his group.

We are extremely pleased with the renovation of our yard.

Excellent. Would love to have Navid, my new friend, again for phase 2!

Navid and everyone who works with him were all extremely professional, and along with that, just a great person to work with and made the project so enjoyable. He really made us happy and laugh throughout the entire project and we consider him part of our family. He always responded quickly and was on site throughout the project. He does live up to his five star reputation! I would encourage anyone who is considering a yard renovation to contact Outdoor Makeover.

Outdoor Makeover and Construction is fantastic because of its superior crew and outstanding customer service. From beginning to end, Navid (co-owner of Outdoor Makeover) took great lengths to understand the scope of the project and did whatever was necessary to make things go as smoothly as possible. There were times when Navid had to make some critical decisions while we were traveling, and he made the most pragmatic choices that led to a successful outcome. The project required a significant transformation from ivy filled, uneven, swamp of chaos, to a level, open grass area with aesthetically pleasing drainage. The team worked efficiently to grade the entire yard, followed by putting in beautiful dry creeks, new sod, plus a new privacy fence. Outdoor Makeover went the extra mile with the drainage by trenching it out all the way to the curb; that was over and above expectations, but will surely make for superior drainage when we have the heavy downpours. Navid's communication throughout the project (which they completed in about 7 working days!) was comprehensive. Navid made the effort to personally come out to the project on several occasions to ensure everything was coming together. His attention to detail as well as artistic planning, gave us an even better finished yard than we would have expected! We highly recommend Outdoor Makeover and Construction to anyone interested in working with a quality company that takes great pride in their work.

This is my second time to use Navid and Outdoor Makeover. He had a clear vision of what I needed done. We had a dry ditch of river rock put in to control water drainage. It looks beautiful and is an excellent remedy for the immense water shed in the yard. I had plants transplanted, old brush cleared out, new plants put in, mulch and pine straw put in, and existing irrigation made to fit the new configuration. Accent lighting was added in strategic places that Navid is so good at selecting to give my yard such a professional polished appearance. Definitely a truly valuable investment. You can't go wrong with Outdoor Makeover.

Unbelievable amount of work that only took two days! The whole makeover team worked tirelessly and efficiently.
