Garrett redesigned our front yard about five years ago. I have a very steep driveway and front yard, and he was able to open it up and make our home so inviting. Everything still looks beautiful! We just now were able to complete landscaping in our backyard. He was able to bring our space to life again! He has such a creative mind. His employees are hard working, kind and clean. I would highly recommend Urban Landscape to anyone! Thank you all for making us love our home again! **★★★★★ — Steve Covate, April 2023** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Urban Landscape on a remodel of my courtyard, and I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional service. From the very beginning, it was clear that they were a team of professionals with an incredible eye for design, speed and care of implementation, and a true passion for what they do. > > Throughout the entire project, Garett McCorkle was fully engaged and ensured that everything was perfectly executed. His attention to detail and commitment to quality was evident in every aspect of the project, from the initial consultation to the final touches. > > What impressed me the most was the speed of implementation. Urban Landscape delivered the project on time and within budget, without compromising on quality. Garett's efficient approach to project management was truly remarkable. > > Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the outcome of the project. Urban Landscape exceeded my expectations in every way possible and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a top-quality design and landscaping implementation company. Garett and his team are true professionals who are passionate about what they do, and it shows in their work. > > Thank you Garett and Urban Landscape, for a job well done! **★★★★★ — Sean Hinze, Feb. 2023** > Garett and team did an amazing job on our front, back yard and pool. Great design and material ideas, artistic input and very flexible and responsive to work with. Highly recommend the team. We love the final result. **★★★★★ — Mike Shumaker, Feb. 2023** > From start to finish we were impressed with Garrett’s attention to detail, and his focus on making sure we got what we want. The design and proposal process was quick and efficient. The team was always on time, and we are really happy with the finished product. Garrett has an eye for the right finishes and he helped make our home look awesome! **★★★★★ — HU-89859817, Feb. 2023** > Everything turns out to be perfect, the design looks so amazing. Highly recommended for people want modern and aesthetic landscape. **★★★★★ — HU-287537675, Jan. 2023** > Garett with Urban, designed and built just what my client wanted. > > I hired the Urban landscape company for a property that I manage. It turned out exactly like the 3-D rendering that I was provided. Their team was professional and highly efficient in timelines. I would highly recommend and use them again for future projects. Beautiful quality work! **★★★★★ — HU-637706234, Jan. 2023** > Garret and his team were great. Very professional, very detailed, communicated on every step, and we are so happy with the results. **★★★★★ — Robert - San Clemente, Jan. 2023** > I can’t say enough about Garett and his team at Urban Landscape. He has totally transformed our yard and we could not be happier. His design and creativity are unlike no others! His optimization of space and using different elevations maximized the entire yard and he was able to incorporate all the features we wanted. He tied in several materials that gave the the yard the look we wanted. His team was always polite and neat and the quality of work is outstanding. You will not be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Rachel Wheeler, Jan. 2023** > We worked with Garrett and his crew this last Fall. It was a remodel of a fire pit and it turned out beautifully. We are a property management company that oversees private estates in the Napa Valley and often our clients are very particular along with their designers but Garrett patiently worked with us and them. The speed with which they completed the project, from design to finish was refreshing. We’ll definitely use them again. We’re already in the design process with them on the next one project, **★★★★★ — Grey Ghost Services LLC, Jan. 2023** > My design company contracted with Urban Landscape to do a complete landscape remodel of a one story home rebuild located in North Tustin. The team lead by owner Garett McCorkle was first rate and a pleasure to work with. Urban was one of 3 landscape consultations that I sought out and from the first meeting I was impressed with his creativity and professionalism. Urban was able to provide the project with architectural plans and renderings in a timely matter, they are a full service Landscape Design company. Garett provided excellent daily oversite, this allowed the job to stay on time and on budget. His team is very skilled and possess a good work ethic. I could not be happier with their work, I look forward to using them for my next project! **★★★★★ — Mary George, Dec. 2022** > Urban Landscape was recommended by our designer when I bought a new house built by Toll Brothers. > It was a fairly large lot backed up by a beautiful hill with trees. > I interviewed three companies and picked Urban. I pretty much gave him creative freedom with few conditions : when completed, it should blend into the hill behind , require low maintenance, drought tolerant plants and most importantly asked for a firm bid with all details. > > They accomplished all of it and beyond. The entire project took about six months. Urban employees were very polite , hard working and caring. Garett added few extras on his own to make the water feature extra special. The whole project turned out to be fabulous. I believe they got three or four more projects within that community based on the work Urban did for me. > > Garett has great vision, every project is unique and quality is excellent. He always stands by his work. I was extremely happy with the finished product. Happy to recommend Urban. **★ — HU-296783877, March 2021** > Believe the one star reviews, have never met a person so difficult to work with. So many better choices out there. ## Selected projects - [Paseo Celestial](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paseo-celestial-pj-vj~7208283) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 89 - [Zocala San Clemente](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/zocala-san-clemente-pj-vj~3988189) - Location: San Clemente, CA - Photos: 57 - [Eternity Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/eternity-landscape-pj-vj~7208277) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 100 - [Custom Modern Landscaping, Pools and Patios - San Juan Capistrano](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-modern-landscaping-pools-and-patios-san-juan-capistrano-pj-vj~7111059) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 35 - [Via Del Verde](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/via-del-verde-pj-vj~7111068) - Location: San Juan Capistrano, CA - Photos: 109 - Description: If you’re looking for the best luxury landscape design Orange County offers, look no further than Urban Landscape.
