Alterra Landscape Design

Alterra was incredible. From the design, to the planning, communication, attention to detail and delivering an incredible end product. I could not be more pleased with my yard transformation. It’s not the same product you would get from any other company.

We recently hired Alterra Landscaping Company to redesign and implement our front yard landscape, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, Jeffery and his team was professional, creative, and detail-oriented, exceeding all of our expectations. The design they created was not only beautiful but also thoughtful, making the most of the space while perfectly complementing our home’s style. Their thoughtful design process is collaborative and they really listen to your ideas in order to pull out a vision beyond your dreams. One of the standout features is the stunning hand-cut stonework they crafted for our front walkway—it’s absolutely gorgeous and has become a true focal point of our yard. The lighting they installed has also transformed the space at night, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Special thanks to Jeffery, who provided exceptional communication and customer service throughout the entire process. He was attentive, communicative, and always willing to answer our questions and ensure that we were completely satisfied every step of the way. His dedication to our project really made a difference. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that delivers exceptional quality, creativity, and outstanding customer service, we highly recommend Alterra Landscaping. Thanks to their hard work, we now have the front yard of our dreams!

We couldn't be happier with the extensive front yard landscaping work completed by Alterra. From start to finish, this was a thoroughly professional experience that exceeded our expectations. Jeffery, the owner, was exceptional to work with. He took the time to understand our vision, offered creative suggestions based on his expertise, and provided a detailed plan that balanced aesthetics with practicality. His knowledge of plants, materials, and design was evident throughout the entire process. The crew was punctual, respectful, and incredibly hardworking. They transformed our front yard over the course of the project while keeping the work area clean. We were impressed by their attention to detail and craftsmanship – from the precise grading and drainage solutions to the thoughtful plant placement and hardscape installation. The communication throughout the project was excellent. Jeffery kept us informed of progress, addressed any questions we had promptly, and made sure we were satisfied. The final result is stunning. Our front yard has gone from embarrassing to a true focal point of our home. We’ve already received numerous compliments from neighbors. I highly recommend Alterra for any landscaping project. Their combination of design expertise, quality workmanship, and outstanding customer service makes them stand out. Thank you, Jeffery and team, for your exceptional work!

We had an amazing experience working with Jeffrey Riddle and his team on our backyard project. Jeffrey helped us design the layout, and Mason was great with the details and execution. They listened to what we wanted, gave helpful suggestions, and really transformed the space into something we love. The crew was professional, reliable, and made sure everything turned out just right. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for quality landscaping and people who truly care about their work!

Mason was very attentive to our project with timely updates and responses to our concerns. Very professional and did a great job. Plantings and hardscape are beautiful,

Tyler Bigham worked with us from start to finish. He met with us and got our perspectives for concepts and then drew up the plans. We then tweaked the plans based on our vision for the project, Tyler’s incredible knowledge of trees and plants and then based on our budget. We really appreciated his ability to creatively achieve what we envisioned within our budget. We then had to wait almost two months for HOA approval but Tyler stayed in touch thru the process. Once the project started, the crew was meticulous and had incredible attention to detail. I was traveling when the project started and so I appreciate being able to make small tweaks once I got home. And, we were so appreciative that Tyler was very selective in choosing the boulders for the project going to five different places to find the right ones. It was an amazing experience and we will use Alterra again when we finish out our backyard oasis!

Alterra recently completed a makeover of my back yard by installing a pergola complete with a lexan cover, lights and a fan; extending my patio; and adding artificial turf, ground cover, some hollies for a bit of privacy and landscape lighting. I'm delighted with the results. Jeff was a pleasure to work with and was in regular contact to keep me up to speed and address any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Alterra.

We got quotes from a few companies, but chose Alterra because Tyler really listened to our wishlist and brought it to life. He worked with us to stay close to our budget, and what was quoted as a 3-week project was impressively done in just 2. We had a pretty sloped backyard with two different patio styles, and they transformed it into a beautiful, cohesive three-tier space. The top tier is a massive patio with concrete pavers. The middle level is now flat and safe for our kids to play, and we even added a mini putting green at the bottom. They also cleaned up and simplified the landscaping to make it much more low maintenance. We’ve already used the backyard more in the past few weeks than in the last two years we’ve lived here. Huge thanks to Tyler and the Alterra team for their amazing work—we highly recommend them!

We're in love with the final project! We had tried other companies to help bring our front landscape to life with failure after failure. Alterra Landscape Design promised a good experience and a final landscape that would meet the expectations, and they did not disappoint. The entire process was smooth from start to finish. We highly recommend the company if you want landscape design done right!

Alterra did a fantastic job on our backyard reno. I worked with Hayden, who was very detail oriented and patient with us (I changed my mind about the design a few times and increased the scope after the project had started). They replaced our old hardscape with Belgard pavers, installed new sod, and fixed our drainage issues (the backyard would flood if it rained heavily). But the most impressive part of this project was the planter box they created. We had a 50 year old brick planter that was falling apart, and they fabricated a beautiful, sturdy metal planter box using the existing structure as a base. The crew was top notch, and I really mean that. I've been through multiple interior and exterior renovations--the crew from Alterra was punctual, organized, cleaned up at the end of each day, and delivered exactly what was promised on time. We're very happy with how functional and beautiful the backyard is now and are excited to work with Alterra to redesign our front yard next!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with Jeffery and the Alterra team. From start to finish, every step of the process was nothing short of exceptional, earning a solid 5-star rating at every touchpoint—from our initial consultation to the final flower being perfectly planted. The design they created for our landscaping project was bold, thoughtful, and seamlessly blended with both our home and neighborhood. They carefully incorporated every element we requested, resulting in a design that exceeded our expectations. Jeffery’s dedication to the success of our project was truly remarkable. He consistently went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction and was a joy to collaborate with. His professionalism, open communication, and responsiveness—along with frequent progress updates—made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. The onsite Alterra crew was equally impressive. Their attention to detail, efficiency, and speed were second to none. We were especially impressed by how immaculate they left our lawn at the end of each day, a testament to their care and respect for our property. Working with Alterra has been an outstanding experience, and we’re thrilled with the results. We’re already looking forward to having them bring their expertise to designing our backyard next!

We hired Alterra to design and construct a backyard pergola. Jeff Riddle was involved from start to finish. He provided great insight regarding design and construction and was mindful of the ongoing maintenance implications of the completed project. The project was completed on-time and within budget. Jeff was on-site daily during construction to ensure that everything was proceeding properly. We were able to communicate easily with Jeff and he was always responsive when we had questions. We highly recommend Alterra for any similar project. We were so pleased with Alterra that we expanded the project scope to include additional landscaping on our property.

Tyler, with Alterra, did a great job with our yard. He designed a beautiful flowerbed and the perfect patio for our backyard. He is very talented with design, fully understands the construction process and does things the right way. Tyler is very trustworthy, which is why we chose Alterra to build our project. We would definitely hire them to do another project, if needed in the future.

Hayden is outstanding - he understood our needs, was highly responsive, creative, and dependable! We will use them again and highly recommend them!

We had the best experience with Alterra! Even though the rainy season of June this year they were prompt, flexible and persistent in getting our project done. Could not have asked for a better company to work with. They did a beautiful job!

I cannot say enough good things about Jeff and the team at Alterra. We first reached out to him more than two years ago, and he came over, patiently listened to our dreams for our backyard space, and came back with a beautiful design. He was understanding when we had to delay the project’s start, and then, when we were finally ready to begin, was happy to update his gorgeous design completely as our needs had changed. Throughout the project Jeff went out of his way to make sure he was communicative, made adjustments we requested on the fly with a smile, talked us through the financial implications of decisions we were making, and handled the bureaucratic red tape of building a new structure with aplomb. All of the above is wonderful, but the best part is just the finished product. The love and attention to detail that the Alterra team put into every aspect of the build is so completely evident. I worried that I was obsessing over minute details, but there was Jeff, obsessing over them with me, a true partner in making our dream come to life. I endorse the work that Alterra does wholeheartedly, and can’t wait to have them back to reimagine our front yard next.

Alterra did a tremendous job with our front and back landscaping. The design process was incredible. Jeff hand crafted a design to maximize our yard's functionality as a play area for our kids while still looking amazing. The install team was also great. Their attention to detail was top notch and it really shows in the final product. They also helped us develop a maintenance plan to keep our yard looking great long into the future. I highly recommend Alterra!

Beautiful design, highly responsive contractor, and great work crew (many of whom are true artisans) Alterra’s Hayden Davenport was our general contractor and was wonderful to work with from working on the final design to immediately fixing the glitches that arise on any project. We have worked with many contractors as we slowly renovated the inside and outside of our 35 year old home. Alterra is the best. This is a design/build firm that delivers a totally turnkey result… if you hire them, there won’t be any little cosmetic issues that the customer is left to resolve. Hugo’s work crew did beautiful stone and tile work that elevated the great design that Hayden provided. We highly recommend this company to create a gorgeous landscape.

We had an amazing experience with Alterra! Tyler was the easiest contractor we've ever worked with. He and his team worked quickly but with an eye for detail and good craftsmanship. He was great about checking in on the project and with us and things moved along. Our backyard went from a half grass/half mud mess that even the dog didn't want to hang out in, to an incredibly beautiful outdoor space with enough room to play, eat, grill, and hang out. We weren't sure what we wanted and Tyler did a fantastic job of guiding us through the options that would work for our space. We are thrilled with our new patio, pergola, outdoor kitchen and landscaping.

Jeff and the team at Alterra are amazing. We wanted a total remodel of both our front and back yards, our outdoor space was not inviting or appealing and did nothing to complement our home. After meeting at our home and listening to what we wanted, Jeff developed design plans that nailed the style and feel we were looking for. The build process was incredibly smooth. The crew members are craftsmen with great attention to detail and pride in their work. Hardworking and efficient, a number of neighbors went out of their way to tell us how impressed they were with the crew! Jeff touched base with us daily and was on site throughout the build. This was a big project - demo, yard grading, hardscaping, turf, trees, shrubs, lighting, water feature, etc and everything was completed to perfection in two weeks! Jeff is great to work with, excellent project management and so creatively talented. His executed design vision perfectly complements our home and our style and has totally transformed and elevated the look and feel of our home. Our living space is now expanded to include our gorgeous outdoors. We are thrilled with our results and highly recommend Jeff and Alterra!

We couldn't be happier with the landscaping project for our backyard done by Alterra Design. Everything went so smoothly from the initial meeting and design to the project execution. The result is just what I envisioned, perhaps even better. Communication throughout the process was excellent, too.

Thank you to Alterra Landscape Design for the absolutely beautiful redesign of our backyard; from building a modern overhead patio structure, to resurfacing and updating the pool and new pavers, to a new fence, and landscaping. This has been a truly differentiated experience, with continuous dialog at the center of the experience. Hayden, our main contact, listened to our needs and provided multiple options within our budget. Throughout the project, he was onsite daily, and made us feel we were his top priority – even if we called on a weekend. The crew for the various projects worked diligently – they were gracious and cleaned up every day. Their attention to detail and quality workmanship exceeded our expectations – we didn’t think companies like that existed anymore. Their passion for creating both a stunning and functional outdoor space shined through. They even proactively reached out to neighbors to make sure no one was bothered or inconvenienced by noise or parking. We recommend Alterra Landscape Design without hesitation and wish them continued success.

Great help start to finish of project - would highly recommend. From design, layout, knowledge of trees/plants to execution everything was amazing.

We have been very pleased with Alterra! They are a customer-centric, high-integrity firm. From the initial consultation, through design and construction, Jeff Riddle was a real pro. He was always available for questions and new ideas, and over-communicated with status updates. The design process was seamless. Alterra offered great design suggestions and digitally rendered the progress, bringing the back yard design to life! Through multiple iterations, Alterra was patient and updated the design to reflect our changes and ideas. When construction began, Jeff's team worked professionally and quickly to meet the schedule. The workmanship is absolutely top-notch. There were a few punch list items that Jeff took care of, that he did not have to - which was greatly appreciated. I strongly recommend Alterra for landscaping design and construction. We are so happy with our new pool hardscape, trees, landscaping, fire pit and zoysia grass lawn!

Alterra and our project designer Tyler Bigham were amazing from start to finish. Our new home backed up to the woods, so we wanted a large deck and bar with an outdoor kitchen and covered pergola. Tyler had extensive knowledge of the building materials needed and the plants for upgrading the landscaping front and back. He provided 3d renderings of the project, and took care of everything - construction, landscape, sprinkler re-routing and beautiful lighting for the deck and the landscape front and back. The crew was remarkable - always on-time, efficient and hard-working (thanks Hugo!). The whole project was finished in about a month, which was great! we are tremendously pleased, and our friends and neighbors are impressed as well. Both Tyler and Alterra obviously have a great deal of integrity, and that is rare in today's world. Thanks again Alterra, our home is now a showcase in both the front and back - we love it!

Really great experience from start to finish. It was so exciting to see Alterra’s personalized design come to fruition! They did an amazing job—highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience with Alterra and Jeff. We love our new front yard! Jeff is very professional and communicated with us throughout. They executed my design suggestions beautifully. They worked very fast and completed the project earlier than expected. Highly recommend Alterra.

Three words!! Above and Beyond!! Alterra Landscaping Design did an excellent job! Everyone on the team was knowledgeable, competent and professional. They replaced bushes and planted a gorgeous Japanese Maple Tree. Hayden Davenport was a joy to work with! Thank you so much for my beautiful landscape! I love it!

Excellent job form Jeff & the Alterra team. Project was smooth and efficient and looks great. Just what we were looking for.

Alterra, Jeff and his team did a phenomenal job on our complete renovation and redesign of our front yard. Jeff was involved during the entire process -- from initial meeting, to design brainstorming, to HOA submission, to completion, to occasionally checking to make sure everything is still in order after completion. Jeff is very thorough and helped ensure we had everything necessary for City and HOA approval. A little overview on this project -- My front yard has a substantial slope, causing runoff and soil erosion. As a result, we had foundation damage and required 19 piers (which, through digging under the house, completely tore up what was left of the front yard landscaping). I called many companies with a vision of a modern, tiered/level design to keep from future erosion of the front yard. Many companies balked at the idea as over the top. However, Alterra Design and Jeff were open, on board, and helped design our new 3 tiered front yard. Our front yard and house now look amazing and is one, if not the best looking landscapes in Sachse. I highly recommend Alterra.

Alterra did an amazing job on our back patio. The team came out to to look at our existing patio and made excellent suggestions for how to improve it to turn it into a true outdoor living space. This included tiling the floor, expanding our outdoor kitchen to include a larger counter, vent hood, mini fridge and trash drawer, as well as installing an outdoor fireplace and built in storage bins. Everything turned out beautifully and everyone involved did excellent work. We receive compliments all the time. The work was done as quoted - no surprises - and in a timely manner. We worked with Tyler who was always responsive, reliable and enthusiastic.

If you’re considering Alterra Landscape Design, LLC for a landscaping project, do it today! The experience we had with Alterra was top notch - from my first call with Hayden Davenport all the way through to the final project and followup. After a complete home renovation, our landscaping project was a full front yard redesign and custom landscaping to accent the new home exterior. Based on our input and likes/dislikes, Hayden created a beautiful design which we loved and didn’t make one change to (we usually make many adjustments to designs - it wasn’t necessary with Hayden’s design). Because we live in a large community, Hayden handled the required approvals from the Home Owners Association which was very helpful. The installation took about three days and the installers were experts that operated with care and cleanliness. All the plants were quality plants and are thriving. The followup has been quite impressive; all questions I’ve had about caring for the lawn and plants have been thoroughly answered.

I love my updated look in the front yard of my 100 year old house! Jeff and the team were professional and yet personal throughout the entire process. Jeff was available for problem solving and to answer stupid questions any time, even after hours. This has been, by far, the best experience I have had with hiring people to do work for me. They care that you are satisfied and worked with me on a few things that didn't go as planned. Thank you, Alterra, for making my little house more beautiful and a joy to garden in! A picky client, R. Cole

I found Alterra from a neighbor who had their backyard done by them. Alterra was AMAZING!! They were so easy to work with from the beginning. Jeff was very patient through the process as I had no idea what I was doing. Tyler was our project manager & he helped me feel at ease. He caught stuff while we were at work that deviated from the plan & immediately contacted us to ensure this is what we wanted. He followed up months after the project to make sure we were happy. They did what they said they would do & more. Recommended them to anyone!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with a Alterra Landscape Design for several front and backyard projects. From the moment I contacted them, I knew I was in good hands. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. They took the time to understand my vision and worked with me to create a beautiful outdoor space that I am proud to show off. The design process was thorough and the team was very patient with me as I made decisions. They provided me with a detailed plan that included everything from the type of plants to the layout of the space. The installation process was seamless and the team was very efficient. They worked quickly and the end result was stunning. The quality of the materials used was top notch and the attention to detail was impressive. The team was also very accommodating when it came to making changes and adjustments. I am extremely pleased with the end result and would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a high-end landscape design and installation company.

We strongly recommend Jeff Riddle and Alterra Landscape Design. Jeff was friendly and professional from our first meeting and his personal service continued throughout the project. He provided us with a thoughtful solution that addressed a difficult landscaping problem under a large tree in our front yard and a makeover of our front yard flower beds. His team that implemented the plan was outstanding and completed the project much earlier than we expected. We are extremely pleased with our new front yard landscaping and have received numerous compliments from neighbors on it.

I worked with Alterra Landscape Design this summer and specifically with Hayden Davenport. Every step of the process from start to finish was done with the highest professionalism. I was kept in the loop on every decision to be made through the creative process to completion. This organization is top notch and Hayden is one of the most creative, professional, respectful guys I have ever worked with. He made the whole project fun while achieving my budget goal. Everything he said this company would do, they did!!! Incredible in todays market... Thanks Hayden and Alterrra Landscape Design for a fabulous patio and yard! I highly recommend this company.

Alterra did a fantastic job on our front yard and we highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a landscape design and installation! Our front yard project was a complete overhaul - ripped out every plant and came up with a design and install that exceeded our expectations - a wonderful mix of several hardscape elements, native plants, trees and lighting that are unique and blend perfectly together. This was our second major project with Alterra. We were so happy with the first project that we did not think to consider anyone else. Once again they delivered on time and within budget. They really listen to what we want, brainstorm ideas, collaborate with us and put together real world options within the cost we envision. We are thrilled with the results.

We chose Alterra Landscape to help us design and build our backyard outdoor living, and I must say it looks amazing!!! They built a pergola, water feature and a fire pit for us. The water feature design won a Texas Landscape Bronze award! If we had any questions or concerns during the build process, Alterra responded very promptly and all issues were resolved! We will be using them next year to do our front yard. I would highly recommend them!

I cannot speak more highly of Jeff and his entire team for the work they did on our front yard landscape. We lost everything due to the "great TX freeze" so it was really a blank slate. Jeff was amazing from the initial consultation, design modifications, on-site monitoring, and right through to completion. Very responsive, incredibly prompt, and super professional. He listened to what we liked but was not afraid to give us real, honest counsel to get us to the final design and install. The crew that executed the install was amazing. They were on time, worked incredibly hard, cleaned up every day, and finished in on time. We have already retained Jeff to do our backyard design and install as well. Best-in-class and gold standard.

The removal of my 50+ year old red oak tree required true professionals. And Jeff Riddle and Alterra lived up to their professional reputation. Their crew was incredible...professional, knowledgeable and fully equipped for this job. The scope of work can be quite dangerous but they performed the hours-long job with precision. I also appreciated their precautions to protect my home and property as well as the adjoining neighbors' homes and property. So, if you're searching for the very best for any landscape need, I highly recommend Alterra Landscape Design. ---Barbara Barnett, Realtor Ebby Halliday Real Estate, Inc.

Jeffery and Alterra were very easy to work with on our backyard project. Access, response and communication was outstanding. Hugo and his crew always showed up on time. Installation of plants and pavers were done with attention to detail and responsive to my questions and changes. I was very pleased with the high quality of plants and pavers Alterra utilizes.

We were extremely pleased with Alterra as they worked with us to come up with a great plan for our backyard which exceeded our expectations. Not only was the work done exceptional they were great with communication and follow up. They completed the job in less time than they had quoted. Highly recommend the Alterra team!

I have worked with Jeff and his team twice - 2 very different back yards. He and his team design and deliver a gorgeous product that I love showing off. They have been the envy of the neighborhood. I can’t speak highly enough of their professionalism. If you’re looking for something that’s different from the rest, I would go with Alterra!

Jeff and the Alterra team transformed our backyard into a beautiful oasis! We absolutely love how it turned out. The crew was very meticulous and ensured every detail was perfect. The DJs

Jeffery Riddle from Alterra Landscape Design was a pleasure to work with. We recently built a pergola, outdoor kitchen, fire pit and upgraded landscaping in our back yard. The project went smoothly from start to finish. Jeff, Hugo and his crew were professional, clean, measured and remeasured, asked questions, and took pride in the job. Materials used and craftmanship are exceptional. We were very involved in the decision making and Jeff encouraged our involvement. Jeff and Hugo had clever ideas in the design of the pergola and fire pit and worked hard on every detail (big to small). Hugo and the crew showed up everyday and worked continuously. We were very impressed and pleased with the crews work ethic. My husband and I highly recommend Jeff and Alterra Landscape Design. Not only did we get a great outdoor space but we made a great friend.

Jeff and his team did an awesome job with our backyard remodel. I was amazed at how quickly they were able to get a major project like that completed so fast. New flagstone patio, custom concrete pavers, river rock boarder, mulch around the play ground, and AstroTurf all in two weeks. We are so happy with our new space!

We used Alterra for our front landscaping project and we couldn't be more pleased. I loved using pinterest as our starting point and I feel like Jeffery hit the nail on the head with the look we wanted while also making sure the plants would thrive in our very shady front.

Alterra has completed two projects at our home (most recent completed in March 2020) and we have been very pleased. Their design work is highly creative and Jeff works hard to understand our requirements and stays within budget. The quality of Alterra’s work is outstanding. They are aggressive about working to timelines and stay on budget. Jeff is totally professional, a pleasure to work with, and has been a great partner. Highly recommend calling Alterra!

We LOVE our outdoor space created by Alterra. Jeff’s crew was great! Alterra coordinated with Southwind Pools to provide the perfect backyard oasis.

Jeff and his crew did an amazing job on our landscape. We worked together on the design, Jeff let me pick out all the plants and trees at the nursery, and the installation crew had it all planted in 2 days, including hardscapes and a firepit (unexpected add to the scope!). The best part was that they set all the plants out in place per the design (not planted, still in pots) and gave us a day to study and see if we wanted to move or change anything. You can't really tell how the spacing, plant height, & color combinations are going to work until you actually see it in place. They want you to LOVE your landscape, so they are very accommodating and understanding with changes. They programmed the sprinkler system to adequately water the new landscape, and 2 months later, all my plants look great! It was the easiest home improvement project I've ever had, and I get tons of compliments.

I hired Jeff and his team to design and install the transformation of my back yard. They took my vision and made it a reality. It could not have turned out better. I get so many complements and have gotten so much enjoyment out of my new space.

Jeff and his team did a a great job on our patio design and build out. We have a giant live oak with tons of shade so had to give up on grass. Jeff found a great mix of plants and functional surfaces to make our backyard functional and green. We were also happy with follow up on lingering items that needed to be addressed which come with a larger project.

Where to start?! First, I am a known killer of plants so it was really important that I had a yard that required low maintenance and skill. Secondly, I also needed someone that could look at my small yard (that consists mainly of a pool) and give me a design that was both lush and manageable. I interviewed a lot of companies, but so many people's designs had no aesthetic to them. Enter Jeff Riddle of Alterra. He brought the "A" game and I was sold. He stayed within my budget and he gave me what I was looking for and honestly I had no idea what I was looking for until I saw it. Colorful. Architectural. Low Maintenance. Amazing. I don't know how else to express just how happy I am with his workmanship. In addition, he has the most fabulous team. They are on time, considerate and fantastic at what they do. I work at home so I saw them on a daily basis and watched how they work. Now go call Jeff and get your beautiful yard on!

Alterra is AWESOME! We had a very rough idea of what we wanted, and Jeff helped us to create a fantastic idea for our dream patio within our budget. We trusted him with the ultimate layout and design, and he completely followed through with a space that is exactly our style and that exceeded all of our expectations! Once we got started, the process was expedient and efficient, and the QUALITY of the project is outstanding. The end product is now our new favorite spot to hang out!! We are outside all the time now, which is exactly what we wanted, and we are so excited to share our new space with family and friends. Thank you, Jeff! Alterra is a fantastic group that we hope to use again in the future with other projects!

5 stars for Alterra, no question! Jeff and his highly skilled team transformed our outdated/mostly dead front landscape into a chic, modern design that was truly unique to our simplistic mid-century modern home. I can't say enough positive things about our experience working with Jeff. He is not only extremely talented at what he does, but his communication throughout the project was outstanding, too. We needed guidance and expertise when it came to just about everything - design, materials, trees, plants - and Jeff surpassed all of our expectations. I'll be honest, by the end of the project, we were a little sad to say goodbye! I will highly recommend Jeff and Alterra to all my friends and family - anyone looking for beautiful and thoughtful landscape design and installation. Thank you, Jeff and team!

Jeff and his team did a fantastic job in transforming our backyard! He listened carefully to our thoughts, added his creative ideas and expertise, and the work began. All were professional, clean and detailed in their work, and the project was completed within our timeframe. Jefferey is a good communicator and was very active in the project from onset to finish. I'd highly recommend Alterra for any landscape project you may have!

Jeff came up with a beautiful design to make the most of our small yard. He oversaw the entire project including a pool installation and his attention to detail was amazing. The stunning result is now a gorgeous extension of our home.

Jeff and his team did an amazing reconstruction of our backyard. Jeff met with us several times to incorporate our ideas and discuss his suggestions. Throughout our entire project he kept his fully informed and made sure no detail was left out. The end result is amazing. While you can get a vision of the project from his detailed drawings, the final product shows Jeff’s skill and expertise. Thanks to Jeff and his team we now have a beautiful backyard that we will enjoy for many years.

It was a fantastic experience working with Jeff. He was able to differentiate between true requirements and crazy design wants, and helped us explore through the design process so we could land on the right mix. He was transparent about pricing, responsive to questions and changes, and kept the project on schedule. His crews were very respectful of our property and obviously proud of their craftsmanship. We are thrilled with the results and would work with Jeff again in a heartbeat!

I can't say enough great things about Jeff and his crew. I really appreciated how fast, clean, reliable, and trustworthy they were. Everything Jeff said would happen did and we LOVE our backyard. The fire pit has been amazing.

Jeff is a very creative with his landscape designs. He communicates well and can cast vision for his ideas. He is dependable and does what he says (and more)! I highly recommend Alterra for landscape design, construction and plant installation.

Amazing!! They were so patient with us and it was well worth the wait. Once we were ready to begin our update it was done in 4 days! And it was done the right way. We are so happy with the result and professionalism Alterra had. We recommended them to all our friends and family

I found Jeffery Riddle and Alterra on Houzz. He took care of all permits and dealing with my HOA. The project was designed in a professional manner. The project was started and completed in two weeks. The rain held off, the labor showed on time and there were no complaints from neighbors about any inconveniences. I gave my real estate agent Jeffery's card. Alterra built a pagoda on a slab extending my existing porch. They installed river rock on the sides of the house and two flower beds with plants. They also reconfigured the sprinklers.

We are so happy we found Jeff and his team to redo our small backyard, which included taking down 2 huge trees. Jeff listens and very tactfully orients our suggestions (because sometimes they are unrealistic ;p-) when necessary. From the initial planning to on-time delivery we felt confident and very comfortable. We love our new backyard!

Jeff and his team did a fantastic job creating the perfect mid-century modern, front yard -- all with water and sun-friendly, low water/low maintenance plants. We met with him once and he was able to translate our style and decor inside our home and extended it to the front of our home. The work took less than a week and his team were professionals and they care and take pride in the work that they do. I can't wait to start phase 2!

I engaged Jeff to completely re-do my front landscape. It looks absolutely amazing! My home is new construction and had builder grade landscaping. Jeff has a great design "eye" and I believe has added value to my house. His team was very professional and so easy to work with. They cleaned the area each night before they left. The project was completed on time and within budget. I will be engaging Jeff again for the backyard.

I found my forever home but the yard looked like a wild jungle!!! I searched and found Jeff, told him what I wanted and POOF! My dream house had a dream yard. He listens. He keeps you up to date. The workman are fantastic. I started with the back yard. New deck, new fence, landscape. Couple of months later we fixed up the front. My neighbors can't stop talking about it. I can't recommend him enough.

Jeff and his crew did what they said they would do. They were on schedule and on budget. I would highly recommend Alterra. They developed a design for our front yard that makes a huge difference in the appearance of our home !

Jeff is fantastic. He is very creative and knowledgeable about his craft. We weren’t exactly sure what we were looking for, but Jeff sat with us, listened to our ideas, and in just a few days our thoughts were on paper, but in a way we never could have imagined on our own. We would highly recommend Jeff for any type of landscaping design. His team is also wonderful. Very friendly and professional, discussing the project and making sure we understood each phase. And fast!! In no time our backyard was transformed from a dirt patch, literally, to a beautiful living space. We could not be more pleased.

My wife and I recently worked with Jeff and Alterra to design and build a new deck and patio. Our previous deck was old and very unsafe for our son to play on. Jeff and his team were very easy to work with and Jeff's main goal was to ensure our satisfaction. The final project came out great!

We loved working with Jeff and the Alterra team. They were professional and took our ideas and made them reality! Very friendly and easy to work with, I would highly recommend them for your landscaping needs.

Alterra was simply fantastic to work with! Jeff and the guys did what they said they would do and were very pleasant to work with.

My husband and I are so happy we chose Alterra. They helped us design the perfect look for our pool area. Jeff, Joe and their entire crew were professional, courteous, prompt, reliable and friendly. They did the work they promised at the price they quoted. We will definitely have them come back to do additional work in our front yard.

My husband and I are so happy with the work Jeff did in our backyard. He came up with such an awesome design after talking with us. His attention to detail and professionalism throughout the entire project is second to none. I highly recommend Jeff and his crew!

Earlier this year I approached Jeff about helping us with our yard. Over the last couple of years several plants in the front yard had died. We were also having some rainwater runoff issues. Jeff and I agreed on a budget based on other similar projects he had done. He produced drawings based on our wish list and his expertise. He modified the plans until we were happy. The removal and installation crew was friendly and hard working. We felt like they worked quickly anddid an awesome job. The result is that our front yard is beautiful. We have had neighbors that we don't know compliment the landscape when they walk by. We think you will be very happy with Jeff Riddle and Alterra.

My biggest issue with landscapers is that they didn't listen so when I first contacted Jeffrey that's what I told him. He not only listened but has become a family friend. Their work is beautiful, professional and they spent a huge amount of time with us reviewing drawings asking us questions to make sure they got it right. They stand behind their work. I was invited to go out to wholesale nursery and actually choose and tag plants. It has been amazing from start to finish and we are now ready to do the backyard. Our house looks so amazing that we have people driving by and slowing down to take pictures! Couldn't be more pleased. Jeffrey organized a run to Houston and we sent almost $9000.00 of goods including water, dog food, diapers, formula and more on their landscaping trucks. Jeffrey drove the truck down and back in one day. We took some pictures. He and his company are amazing people.

Working with Jeff and Alterra to transform our front landscaping was a delight, and the results exceeded every expectation we had of how the finished design would look. His selection of plant sizes, colors, and varieties were terrific. His use of boulders and river rocks were the perfect accents to the project. Jeff was easy to work with, explained the care needs for each type of plant, and 6 months later it looks like we have always had beautiful landscaping. Our son worked with Jeff on landscaping his home recently and the results were equally stunning. We heartily endorse Jeff and Alterra.

Jeffrey Riddle and his crew were excellent to work with. From initial consultation, through the design process, demo, install, etc we were very impressed. They work very hard to make sure things are done right, beautifully and to your complete satisfaction. I would highly and without hesitation recommend Jeffrey Riddle and Alterra if you have a large landscape and/or outdoor project.
