Landscapers near Mountain View

“a few months ago we hired Bary Scenery to start with a design for our ADU and backyard landscaping. After looking at a few contractors and also designers we decided to go with a design and build. Talked to the owner, Ali, about the process and he was very clear as to the fact that they design under the contractor license so if they end up getting the permit they are the only ones that can build it but he also said if they decide not to build with them we can shop around and get our own contractor but that contractor has to do their own permit work. Checked with local city and they confirmed that is the case, so we hired them to start with design.

Their team is local in Mountain View and have a nice design studio, worked with head of design Behdad a lot, he has a lot of architectural educational background from Italy and his style of work is very unique. They designed our ADU and our backyard in about 2 months timeframe and gave us details for the construction cost as well. We shopped around and found out that other builders prices were very similar to Bay Scenery but they did not want to deal with Permit nor they seems to have both trades we need which were General Contractor and Landscape Contract and we would have to deal with multiple companies ourselves which was not ideal considering our own daily work load.

Signed the contract to build with Bay Scenery, they have taken care of all of the permit work like clockwork and kept us in the loop. Few challenges from the city that they are working on and we are about to start build.

I must say we were not too sure about a design and build but found that the Bay Scenery team were the most transparent and honest about the process and so far have enjoyed working with them.“

“Jenna has designed multiple gardens for me over the last 22 years at different homes each time we moved. All of the gardens have been stunningly beautiful and lasted for years with plants that were blooming in every season. She most recently did a cottage garden for me in May of 2024 and I was blown away with how quickly and competently the whole project was done by everyone on her team. The garden is so gorgeous and neighbors and strangers both stop to tell me how beautiful it is.“

“Great communication, punctual, did the job really well. Will use their service again.“

“Adam and the whole Inspired Builders did an amazing job remodeling my bathroom! They were professional, on time, flexible and really paid attention to the details. The finished space looks beautiful, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend them for any remodeling project!“

“We were very pleased with work by Brothers Services Tree Care. Angel Morales provided a prompt and accurate work proposal. The three workmen arrived promptly, worked hard, and did a great job, including some branch pruning at the end at our request. Well done.“

“I want give a big hug to the entire team of Top
Line Home Remodeling!!!!! They completely
remodeled my two bathrooms & kitchen. I have been living in my home for over 11 years and it feel like I just moved to a new home (They also repainted the entire interior of the house!!!! ). I'm in love with my newly remodeled kitchen and bathrooms !!!! Besides going to purchase all the finish materials, ( which by the way was a lot of fun! ). I never really had to do anything, they took care of everything for me. I could not thankAvi, Pini and rest of the crew enough!!!! They treated my project as if it were their own home. I highly recommend them and will absolutely refer them to anyone I know! Thank you! Thank you ! Thank you!!!“

“We made the horrible mistake or originally going with Black Diamond Paver Stones & Landscape for our front and back yard project. From the beginning, our project was plagued by an absence of governance, poor quality workmanship and a lack of project management.

Distraught, we sought the recommendation of a trusted friend who had recently completed and was very happy with his own yard project. He enthusiastically recommended Peter Pazmany, and for that we are forever indebted.

To say that Peter and the entire team at Pazmany were lifesavers would be an understatement. Our yard project was the dream of an 86 year old man, and we thought it was a total loss after the Black Diamond experience. But Peter salvaged it. He listened well as we described what we were hoping for, captured our hopes and goals perfectly in the project scope, and worked with us to hit our budget without compromising project quality and outcome.

Here's a (very) short list of what differentiates Pazmany from Black Diamond and the others:

- Peter, the founder/CEO, is personally involved throughout. While Black Diamond's CEO refused to visit even after it became apparent that their project was faulty, Peter regularly came unprompted during the Pazmany project, surveying the work, double checking items, and even assisting with tasks such as plant layout.
- All the workers on site were actual employees of Pazmany. This is different from not just Black Diamond, who supplies a project manager but all others are subcontractors, but most others as well. This makes a HUGE difference. Pazmany's workers were well trained and highly experienced. They obviously knew how to work as a team, what was expected of them, and shared the corporate commitment to customer satisfaction.
- They take radical responsibility for their work. This means that any issue that comes up where a mistake may have been made, they immediately acknowledge their error course correct. For instance, some of the stepping stones on our pathway were cut a bit too big. When this was brought to their attention, Pazmany had someone out right away to correct this. No argument or issue whatsoever. Just a focus on customer satisfaction. Juxtapose this with Black Diamond who installed faulty irrigation valves, repeatedly insisted they were performing as designed despite the persistent leakage, and only admitted the problem once I personally opened the valve to show them (at which point they replaced them with valves that also were faulty!)
- Peter, Wayne, and the entire crew have exceptionally broad knowledge. While we knew many of the specifics of what we wanted for our project, there were key parts of the yard where our intention was clear, but our vision wasn't. For instance, we wanted a natural feel for our patio area and an inviting flow to/from our deck, we didn't know how to design this or what materials to use. Pazmany laid out something that captured our thoughts perfectly, first conceptually and then on the ground with markers, working with us to fine tune it. The end result is that it's 100% the form, feel and flow that we wanted.
- And much, much more

My hope in sharing this publicly is that others won't make the same mistake that I did. Peter and the entire team at Pazmany are talented, honest, fair, and work with integrity. These are characteristics that should be more common in the world of home contractors. For these reasons, Pazmany should be the very first call when it comes time to landscape.“

“Awesome experience and great service! other than remodel my garden, Jose Gonzalez does carpentry too, which saved me time and money searching for extra help for my garden. Super happy with the results!“

“Tree fell on my house. Hector and team were fast to respond, worked efficiently, avoided more damage to my house and cleaned up everything. This was not an easy job, other tree Services were hesitant to take it on. I highly recommend Hector Tree Services!“

“10/10 excellent!! They converted an empty space (literally just dirt) into a beautiful functional backyard, all in 2 weeks! I loved the straightforward process, from start to finish. No flowery business, no unnecessary airs like those APLD snobs!! Towards the end, there was a slight hiccup, but it was promptly addressed and voila! our lovely new backyard project was complete. Special shoutout to the awesome team of gentlemen who did all the work- they are real artisans! They also bring their own porta potty, so that's really convenient too! ;) All in All- highly recommend.“

“S & G has done lots of work around our property, including replacing our lawn, repairing/replacing irrigation, planting and maintaining a citrus tree, and trimming other trees. They always do a great job, communicate well, and are responsive and reliable. Rates are very reasonable. We have more projects to do as we fix up our back yard and will be working with S & G for all of them.“

“Excellent Customer Service Happy with the Quality of Service. Definitely will be recommended for future landscape needs.“

“Raj and Neelu did the California Patio to ADU conversion project for us in our brand new house. From Design, getting permits from the city and getting into construction - they worked through every detail and ensured project progressed smoothly on time and finished unit blended seamlessly into the main house. Special attention was paid to compliance of codes and local regulations.

They did a great job within the budget and I am so thankful to them - it was a pleasant experience - with absolutely no stress about timelines or contractor costs escalations or workmanship

Thankyou again Raj and Neelu
I will wholeheartedly recommend them to anybody“

“Rian and his crew at Rhino’s Construction, Inc were amazing for our ADU build, Very professional, easy to communicate with, and have a great attention to detail. San Carlos is not always an easy city to build in, permit and otherwise, but Rhino’s Construction, Inc is very familiar with their process/requirements, which is extremely helpful, for both you and what the city is looking for. I highly recommend them for an ADU or any other new construction and/or remodel.“

“Miguel did an amazing job with our front and back yard plantscaping and he stained our back fence. It’s been about a month and a half, and everything he planted is growing beautifully. From the beginning, he was professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. He finished the project earlier than expected and left everything perfectly clean.

What impressed me most was how much he truly cares about his clients — even a month later, he offered to replace a succulent that didn’t survive. Miguel is knowledgeable, responsible, and kind. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and highly recommend him to anyone!“

“Armando Torres and his team at Verbena Landscaping did an outstanding job rebuilding a large deck in our back yard. Their craftsmanship was excellent, and they had good ideas for improvements and solving problems along the way. They were professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with. I would hire Armando and his team for another project without hesitation.“

“Joel and team helped install my front and back landscaping project. I’ve known and worked with B&L since 2014 and it’s been great to see them grow to what they are today. This team is responsive, attentive, detail oriented, and makes sure the work is done right. Just a team of really kind, humble, hardworking guys who show up on time and stay until it’s done - you don’t always find that.I had full trust that this team would deliver, and they did. Some of the hardscaping work required technical detail and expertise, and the team was able to produce against our modern design. I would highly recommend B&L for any additional landscape needs!“

“We recently purchased a second home in Los Gatos and hired Grimes Natural Landscaping to complete our backyard project, which included concrete pavers and new plants. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to work with. My wife and I have demanding professional schedules and couldn’t dedicate much time to overseeing the project, but Kelly made the entire process completely hassle-free. She handled everything seamlessly and followed the landscape plan we had set up, ensuring every detail was executed perfectly.

Kelly was exceptionally responsive, addressing all of our questions and concerns promptly and thoroughly. Before choosing Grimes, we researched several landscaping contractors in the area and felt that Kelly and her team were the best fit, thanks to their impressive portfolio and clear communication. As an added bonus, they were able to start our project relatively quickly and completed everything before we fully moved in.

Based on this experience, we highly recommend Kelly and her team at Grimes Natural Landscaping for any landscaping needs. We’re also considering having them handle our landscape maintenance moving forward.“

“Gabriel and his crew did an excellent quality cost effective replacement of our 4 x 4 fence posts with new fence posts and mounded concrete. a long lasting outcome“

“Highly recommend Greenyard to anyone who is looking to do backyard landscaping. Greenyard did our entire backyard (in Dec 2021) with pavers, artificial turf and trex deck and we could not be happier with the results. Tin Nguyen explained the process patiently, answering all my questions in detail and was very accommodating to our changing work scope for the yard. Tin made sure we had all the info every step of the process and was always reachable. His crew, led by Rob, is amazing and very easy to work with. Rob is an awesome project manager, very professional and very flexible when it came to the challenging weather conditions halfway through the work. Rob had great suggestions too that gave great final touches to the space. He made sure everything was completed on time and has great detail to attention. Thanks so much Tin and Rob for creating a beautiful and usable space for us.Services: Landscape installations“

“As a local civil and structural engineer with extensive experience in landscape improvement structures, Artisan Home Resorts has been a joy to work alongside on multiple successful projects over the years. Along with their top notch architectural project designs, they are very knowledgeable with respect to the engineering aspects that are necessary for a workable construction product. They work closely with the engineer to ensure structural safety and code compliance without sacrificing the project architectural design focus, functionality and goals, which are typically of the utmost importance to the clients. Artisan provides and ensures timelines that work for the project team and client, which allows for the most efficient and successful approach to each project. I always enjoy working with Artisan Home Resorts during the design phase of the project, and I am always excited to see the finished product when construction is complete! It's a pleasure to be a part of the team for each and every Artisan Home Resorts project! - Mike Koontz, P.E. #C78932“

“After having started out home renovation, we set out to look for a landscape architect that could design on challenging terrain that needed engineering. We wanted a design and build firm that would take responsibility for the entire project; we also knew it would be no small feat to find someone that met our need for excellent design and the ability to actually build what was designed on our land. A friend had worked with NatureWalk and they came highly recommended. My husband and I were immediately impressed with Angelica's (the owner’s) understanding of our land and enthusiasm towards her work. Angelica is an artist! Her process seems like that of a sculptor.Once NatureWalk started the construction we had great communication throughout that process as well. The crew was friendly and efficient. We ended up with a beautifully designed, low maintenance space that is so much better than what we could have envisioned. We spend more time outside than we ever have in our lives and get constant comments on our amazing outdoor space. If you are lucky enough to work with them, do it!“

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Green Thumbs Up for landscaping projects both a few years ago in our front courtyard and most recently in our backyard, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From the start, their team was incredibly professional, attentive to detail, and eager to bring our vision to life.

The transformation they brought to our front yard was nothing short of spectacular, and the recent remodel of our backyard has truly exceeded all expectations. The design is absolutely gorgeous, blending hardscaping with vibrant, thoughtfully selected plants to create a space that is both beautiful and functional. The hardscaping elements are perfect — stylish, durable, and practical — and really tie the entire yard together.

We’re constantly receiving compliments from neighbors and guests on the stunning transformation. We’ve also noticed that we’re spending so much more time outdoors now. The new layout encourages us to gather with family and friends, and it’s become a true extension of our home.

The attention to detail, the quality of the work, and the stunning end result make Green Thumbs Up the absolute best choice for any landscaping project. We couldn’t be happier with our yards, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space!“

“We worked with Machtinger Landscaping on our front yard installation. We are incredibly happy with the product and experience. Noah (the owner) is easy to work with, knowledgeable, super professional and responsive. Ernesto, our foreman, was wonderful to work with.

Our project was large in scope and included a complex drainage system required by the city. Noah and his crew were amazing - not only did they implement the system expertly, they also managed city inspections. As the project progressed, they were able to resolve unexpected issues on site and also made useful suggestions to improve on the original design.

For the landscaping, Machtinger installed paver paths, new irrigation system, new lighting, and sourced and installed plant material (including trees and large shrubs). Everything was installed with precision and care. The result is beautiful and we are getting compliments from neighbors non-stop.

We highly recommend Machtinger Landscaping!“
