We are extremely pleased with the level of professionalism, expertise, and quality of work. The project came in on time and on budget. It looks better than I ever imagined.

Wish I had checked this sooner. Fortunately, the contract went "south" prior to actual work, but lost a few months and could have had the project done by now with someone more communicative and cooperative. Enough said, look elsewhere.

Horrible experience with this company. Months later finding all sorts of things wrong in addition to everything that was left undone to begin with. see my full, detailed review on Yelp.

I waited a long time to give this review and gave Peter EVERY opportunity to make things right, but honestly he's not interested. It's all about getting the money in his pocket. The process starts with a weak rendition of what he plans to do and ends with disappointment. Minimum standards, no pride in workmanship, low quality help, only do what's absolutely necessary, no thought or concern for future development or additions, no follow-up, only warranty dead plants if he has to. This is what you get for your money. Good luck!

I was nervous about investing a chunk of money on something I couldn't see, like the renovating of my front lawn to a low-water scape. Found a picture and showed it to Peter. He was great - he has the ability to envision something from nothing and make it happen. I could tell we were on the same page. He and his hard-working crewman, Sean, worked hard and steadily and gave me a lovely dry creek, and low-water group of flowering plants that had people stopping to admire!

He was patient and calm amidst the owner-anxiety moments and just kept going with his vision! They completed the job in a few days and did a great clean-up job before they left. I am very satisfied with his work, love my new look, and would recommend him if you are looking to shift from your beloved grass lawn to something attractive for the drought!

Peter is without question the most difficult man to work with! We spent a fortune on landscaping and have been spending months trying to get him back to finish the job and fix all of the stuff he did wrong! Two fountains don't work, plants dead all over the place and a grass watering system that has created a swamp! He won't return calls won't return emails! DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN! I have a feeling that the only way I will get him to fix everything is to call a good lawyer!

Funny thing is. He has pictures of my house on his Facebook and his website! Boy I hope he has prospective customers call me I will give them the name of a real landscaper! As I stated before DO NOT HIRE!
