Landscapers in Berkeley

“The team at Cruikshank was truly outstanding. We did a large project with them and working with everyone could not have been better. Everything came in on budget, the workmanship was outstanding, every punch list item was addressed and our yard is exactly what we wanted it to be. Could not recommend them more highly.“

“Absolutely love Farallon Gardens. They reimagined my property and were so creative in doing so! Mathew is so easy to work with and listens to your concerns and questions. They are a pleasure to work with.“

“We hired Planted Earth to completely renovate the landscaping around our house in Oakland. This included design, demolition, earth removal, hardscaping (multiple retaining walls), decking, planting, lighting, and irrigation.The results were spectacular and working with Mick, Ann, Manuel, Carlos, and the various crews was great. Mick and Ann were attentive and hands on during the design phase, incorporating our ideas with their experience and helping us to understand the full process. They are holistic in their approach, considering soil condition, native plants, irrigation and drainage, and fitting into the local environment. They are clear to present the pros and cons of various decisions and didn't try to sell us extra work at any point.The build phase went as smoothly as possible. Planted Earth tries to work with the same crews as much as possible, building strong relationships with talented professionals. Everyone was kind and conscientious, even when our dog tried to apprentice himself as a landscaper. They gave us advance notice when work could be disruptive (e.g. concrete pour) and tried to minimize the disruption as much as possible. We always felt like we knew what was happening and where we were in the process.Planted Earth continued to be available as the work wound down and the new plants took. Small issues with irrigation, questions about plant care, etc. were addressed promptly. We feel like we have a personal relationship with Mick et al. and have recommended Planted Earth to our neighbors. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone with a residential landscaping/hardscaping project!“

“Matt was very easy to work with, and made many useful suggestions about our project. It was to remove an old redwood deck that occupied most of our back yard, build some new redwood steps from one of our rear doors, build a balcony for the other door, and do some grading, hardscaping and improve the drainage. There were a few minor issues, but all of them were easy to resolve, and most were mentioned to me by Matt when he saw an unexpected problem. He was not the least expensive contractor we spoke with about this project, but his work was great. My one complaint is that his crew could be more careful with the landscaping they were not working on, but it was more an annoyance than any real damage. From all the contractors we have dealt with this summer, this was indeed a minor problem. I would use him again in the future.“

“Johnny and his crew did an excellent job on our backyard. They removed old concrete, and laid down new pavers, our yard looks beautiful!“

“We hired Green Gallery, along with landscape designer Julie Calandra to do a major deck and landscape project. They did a phenomenal job.Nat Feeley from Green Gallery worked closely with the designer to make sure the execution was close to the design. The crew was amazing. They did top notch work - the craftsman ship on the decks and gates were superb.Every day people pass our yard asking who did the project! Couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you Nat and Julie and the Green Gallery crew.“
