"I am beyond happy with the experience I had with CLC Landscape Design. They went above and beyond, transforming my yard into my own oasis. Eric came on site and brought all the expertise and plant advise that would fit best for my yard. Once the project started he communicated with me when his team would be arriving and the status of the project that day. Once we had everything planned out, he even came back to double check to see if all the plants looked good before they got planted! He was overall super helpful, very professional, and I am beyond satisfied with the results. Thank you Eric and CLC Landscape Design team for all your hard work. Really all I could say is just WOW! I look forward to working with your team again in the future!"

The owner Thiago, who oversees the project, was a pleasure to work with -- never used any pressure tactics, was very responsive to any questions, and gave a fair price. The two craftsmen who did the work were amazing! They arrived promptly every day, worked extremely hard, and did absolutely beautiful work.
