Mission District Renovated Residence
We renovated this garden with a nice element mix of stone, wood, and metal, adding paving stones, wrought-iron rails, and pipe flower boxes. Facing north, the garden received little light, so we thought it best to keep the layout solid and simple. Perfect for entertaining guests, the pavers help keep your feet dry and tracks from entering the house.
"Bret and his team recently landscaped our front and back yards and we couldn't be happier with the result. From start to finish we knew we were in good hands. He won us over by going over the estimate in person, line by line. It was so helpful to know what the various aspects of the job contributed to the cost so we could make informed decisions around making changes. Total transparency.
Bret also worked with us to help develop the right plan for our yard. He took our wishes into consideration when making recommendations but also offered guidance and advice when what we wanted wasn't appropriate - classic Marin yard with its own "microclimates", areas of full sun and others in full shade. They put in new grass, thoughtfully placed a lot of interesting and beautiful plants and trees, redid our walkways and irrigation, and also added boxes to grow vegetables - fun for the kids! Bret's knowledge of plants and years of experience is tremendous.
His crew always worked hard in a truly professional manner, often going the extra mile to clean up at the end of the day and make things look as nice as possible. They did a thorough job and transformed our yard into something beautiful that we can really enjoy as a family. To sum it up - honest, experienced, and dependable, not to mention a real pleasure to work with. I would recommend Bret and his team in a heartbeat." - C. O.
