Landscapers near Orinda

“I'm not sure if the reviewer before me was referring to the same Hollis Landscaping... my friend recommended John and his team to me and they have been incredible with our yard!! We can't afford too much aside from monthly maintenance and we did a backyard upgrade with lots of new shrubs, new path, and groundcover. I cannot say enough good things about them. John got back to me right away with very reasonable estimates. His workers show up as they are scheduled-- right on time. The prices are very good and we are so happy we hired them to help maintain our yard. They are also very friendly. John is an exceptional landscaper so he had great suggestions within our budget. Highly highly recommend giving him a call or shooting him an email (he emails as well as returns calls). They have made a huge difference in the appearance of our home!“

“Very professional and highly competent! Would definitely recommend!Service: Landscape management“

“It's been well over a year since Mathew and team designed and install my garden, and I couldn't possibly be more happier with that decision.

Mathew was enjoyable to work with. He led the way in designing and recommending plants based on a mix of my vision/wants and his expertise and experience. Mathew found ways to incorporate and blend in pieces and plants I wanted to keep, and found clever ways to reuse some existing features (e.g. large rocks) that elevated the space. The crew that demoed and installed was notably careful, and detail-oriented. David and Troy have been coming by monthly for garden maintenance and doing an exceptionally meticulous job. The entire team's craft is admirable!

Over the last year, the plants in the garden have quadrupled in size, and almost every plant has blossomed a flower at one point in time. It's been a real delight.

If you're looking for someone to redo your garden, go Farallon Gardens. You'll be so happy you did!“

“Johnny and his crew installed corten steel edging around our sidewalk garden. It looks really good, was reasonably price, and they were responsive to feedback during the installation. It came out exactly as I envisioned it. I'd definitely recommend for your landscaping needs.“

“We highly recommend Vince’s Landscaping.

From our first meeting through project completion—and even for follow-up items—Vince’s was timely, professional, and a pleasure to work with.
They helped us transform our backyard with new drainage, irrigation, drought-tolerant landscaping, and improved fire safety and aesthetics. Their bid was complete and prompt, and they made smart suggestions that improved the design and lowered our cost.
The core crew was talented, respectful, and hardworking, and their specialists they brought in (irrigation, hardscape, electrical, etc.) were also excellent. The project started and finished on schedule, and Vince’s has remained responsive afterward.

We’re thrilled with the results and grateful for their dedication and craftsmanship.“

“We hired Build Group to take our dirt yard and build corten metal pathways and to build a concrete slab. Fidel walked through with me and gave me a bid after crunching the numbers. I got two other bids from existing crews I have used and hired Build the next day. They got to work immediately, and they were the most professional team we have had working here. We were so impressed with their attention to detail and smart solutions and diligent labor every single day they were here. So happy so far with their work. I will update with photo of the final, compacted DG. Thank you so much Fidel and team!“

“Gaby was easy to get in touch with, kept communication open during the course of my backyard rehab project, and the team did a great job. The scope of my project was small, and it was nice to have someone who respected that and didn't try to upsell me. Overall it was a great experience.“

“Hamad has been taking care of our gardens for years, but he just redesigned our backyard and it’s awesome! He is so talented in design and so knowledgeable about plants. He’s a great listener, and we love the result.“

“Friendly and professional team that made everything simple and easy. I would definitely recommend their services.“

“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.“

“Nat and Nathan did a phenomenal job with our project. We replaced our back decking and awning structure and overhauled our small-but-mighty front yard garden spaces. Nat and Nathan were responsive and easy to work with, answering all of our questions and taking our ideas and making them possible. I'd highly recommend working with them for all landscaping efforts!“

“Lara and her team were wonderful! They built a beautiful deck in our backyard, and now we plan to hire them for future projects. Highly recommend!“

“I highly recommend Jean Fogg to anyone looking for a landscaper or landscape maintenance. Jean has worked in our community for many years, and he has an excellent reputation. He is highly experienced, has a hard working crew and conducts his business with honesty and integrity. We reached out to him when we were undergoing a complete remodel of our house. Jean connected us with an entire team for our landscaping needs: a landscape architect as well as masonry, asphalt, and concrete contractors, with Jean taking the lead on the project, which was substantial and included a new driveway, steps, irrigation and landscape lighting. Jean understood which plants would work best in the different areas of our property and gave excellent advice. He was responsive and collaborative, and it has been a pleasure to work with him. Jean began the work on time and finished on time. Jean continues to provide weekly maintenance. The results were beautiful, and we couldn't be happier. See “before” and “after” photos posted here.“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Nature Builders on a landscaping project, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Ed's workmanship is top-notch, and his attention to detail truly sets him apart. Throughout the project, communication was excellent, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Nature Builders to anyone in need of quality landscaping services. Thank you, Ed, for transforming my outdoor space into something beautiful!“

“Sunrise Vine View was amazing! They reinvigorated my troubled front yard. The people that owned the house before us didn't even put a sprinkler system in the front yard to water the grass. We had to rethink the entire design in order to water my grass. Thank you Mike! And his wife Desiree was amazing too!“

“What a great experience working with David Thorne Landscape Architects. David Thorne was attentive throughout the project's life, and Kristina Kessel's professionalism and attention to detail through design and implementation were stellar. As a firm, their passion for their craft is exceptional, and their ability to listen and address a client's wants/needs is greatly appreciated. We couldn't be more pleased.“

“A man with a vision! Hiring Keith Stover, (Nature's Design), to beautify the front area of my house was an amazing experience. He already works on my mom's garden, which is breathtakingly beautiful, and for my birthday she split the cost with me to have him work his magic at my house. I know very little about such things so I really trusted him and his vision, and I am so grateful. He was very attentive to my tastes and listen to my ideas. He often gave me options to choose which I liked best. Very quickly we were on the same page about all of the little things that would make me happy.
When the first estimate was a little higher than my budget, he pared it down and we focused on the most important areas - and he was still able to make it totally beautiful.
Keith was a pleasure. He has a quiet demeanor. He and his assistant were super respectful and it was clear right away that they really care about doing everything right. He stuck to the schedule, he worked super hard and it was immediately evident that he is someone who is very proud of his work, regardless of the size of the project.
I'm actually saving money so I can hire him again to add some of the things that were outside the scope of last year's project.
They installed an irrigation system and showed me how to program the timer, but honestly I haven't had to touch it. It just works. Everything grew. Everything still looks healthy and gorgeous. It's really the gift that keeps on giving. I'm really proud of my garden, and it really is the result of Keith's vision, Keith's design and Keith's implementation. He's SO GOOD! You should call him and get on his schedule because I imagine he's pretty busy making magic happen :-)“

“REROUTING OF DOWNSPOUT. In our 60+-year-old house the water no longer flowed from our gutter properly but flooded an area within our carport. We rigged a makeshift way to carry it off, but this meant going out every time it rained, to place a temporary discharge pipe.Miguel Lopez, who is both knowledgeable and friendly, came and quickly changed the direction of the runoff and effectively solved our problem. He also went to extra lengths to find just the color of downspout I wanted.I am extremely pleased with both the job and Miguel's helpful and cooperative way of working with us.Service: Yard drainage“

“Xenia and her team have done a wonderful job creating our own urban oasis in our small San Francisco yard. Over a number of years our yard has been transformed from a small jungle of weeds and mess into a beautifully landscaped space. She has offered great advice on best plants for our small food planter, and is always upbeat and positive. Highly recommended.“

“We needed help fixing our sprinklers that suddenly stopped working. John responded quickly and set up some time to come over the next day. He was on time, very knowledgeable and was able to get things fixed and up and running in no time. Thanks John!“

“Rolando Garcia and his crew did an amazing job on our new redwood fence. From the moment we reached out, they were responsive, kind, and super easy to work with. The team showed up on time, worked efficiently, and delivered high-quality craftsmanship that honestly exceeded our expectations. The fence looks beautiful — strong, clean lines, and clearly built to last.

What really stood out was how professional and respectful the crew was throughout the process. The pricing was very fair, and they left the space spotless when they were done.

Rolando offers a wide range of services beyond fencing, including gates, decks, railings, retaining walls, stair trims, irrigation, artificial turf, concrete, and more. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again for future projects. Highly recommend!“
