### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Steve Sobel, July 2025**

> GLD Landscape + Design nailed this job. My yard was terribly overgrown with many plants and trees in bad shape or dying. We discussed a vision for the yard and then I let them do their thing. The best part for me is they required little to no oversight. Of course, we discussed major decisions. But other than that I let them do their thing. In the end, the yard came out even better than I had pictured. I have continued with them for my weekly service which has been great as well.

**★★★★★ — Sona, April 2025**

> GLD did a wonderful job designing my backyard landscaping. They truly understood my vision and my preferred aesthetic and were very passionate about making those come to life. Since I just recently purchased my house, I was a bit tight on budget for landscaping but they worked with and truly created something beautiful. I'm excited to start lounging back there as the weather warms!

**★★★★★ — hchung87, July 2024**

> The team was very thoughtful around the design aspects we wanted to incorporate. The crew that was on site was very professional and more than willing to come back to address any follow-up items. The follow-up and professionalism is difficult to find with any home service providers nowadays and we greatly appreciated what felt like a partnership and cleaning up our landscaping.

**★★★★★ — Rachel Lewis, July 2024**

> GLD Landscape + Design was so excellent to work with.
>
> My husband and I are new homeowners and though we love to be outside, we don’t have a green thumb or a good sense of the right plants for this climate. To complicate this slightly more, we are due and expecting this summer.
>
> We approached the team in spring with the goal of just having a nice yard that was low maintenance, and accepting given our timeline we wouldn’t get everything we wanted done.
>
> They not only hit everything on our list, but they added and improved the design substantially! Being so pregnant and so new to having a yard, it’s pretty easy for me to get stressed and I felt totally at ease during the process.
>
> Andrew was kind, punctual, knowledgeable, and was able to take our rough ideas and create something we will cherish for years.

**★★★★★ — Dan, Dec. 2023**

> We liked the layout and design of our Japanese garden. It was nice to have experienced people to work with…our backyard is now very peaceful and serene.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer, Dec. 2022**

> Our backyard landscaping was the 2nd time GLD transformed our home through their planting design. We are enjoying not only more beauty and privacy while in our backyard but also the enhanced view we now have outside our windows each time we look outside. GLD is was helpful in choosing various plants, and the trees and shrubbery provide a bird oasis as well. Project stayed was done as predicted in terms of time and budget. Very professional. Thank you!

**★★★★★ — HU-428603310, Aug. 2022**

> These guys were terrific! They delivered on everything they promised and exceeded our expectations in most cases. Their selection of plants was perfect in terms of both aesthetics and drought consideration. And Andy and Steve are just great guys— a pleasure to work with both of them.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer, Nov. 2021**

> Wonderful result and extremely professional every step of the way. Our yard was transformed and within the budget we discussed. Always on time and considerate throughout the work and there were no unexpected delays. If you want a landscape designer as excited as you are about your project as you are, pick this one. Wish I found them years ago!

**★★★★★ — Kris Henigman, Sept. 2021**

> We loved working with Andy at GLD Landscape and Design. They did really great work redoing a lot of our existing landscape that we weren't happy with. Andy always had great design ideas for both look and practicality. We also had a section of fencing that was really difficult to replace. I had previously gotten several quotes from fence builders who said the job couldn't be done. Andy and his contractor partner Steve were up for the task and got it done the exact way we wanted it. We plan on working with Andy and Steve in the future. We also hired them for weekly gardening services, which has also been great. We highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — Nathalie, Aug. 2021**

> GLD did a great job on my narrow canyon backyard. I had a general idea of what I wanted but needed help on the details. They were great and fast coming up with ideas and a game plan. I did a combination of decomposed granite, turf, and perenials. In addition, they also installed new lighting and drip watering system. Andrew and Steve were friendly, and visited the site frequently to supervise and check on the work being done. Their workers are full-time employees and not random contractors; so they know well who is working for them.

**★★★★★ — Ian Yanniello, April 2021**

> We had a great experience with Andy and Steve. They translated our vision into a renovation that fit our budget and turned out looking exactly how we envisioned. They were knowledgeable and approachable and their team did really good quality work. We highly recommend working with them!

**★★★★★ — Ed C, Oct. 2020**

> We had a great run with Andy and GLD.  Andy prepared a detailed line item cost estimate that made it easy to decide on scope.  His team started when he said they would and finished on time and on budget.  Andy's crew was super diligent, polite and hard working.  We really liked that he paused work when we hit a crazy hot streak in October; he was worried about the impact on his crew.  And the proof is in the pudding; all of our neighbors stop to comment on how much they like the finished product...so do we!
