He listened to our concerns, offered several ideas, and guided us thru a plan that we really liked. We needed old pavers removed, soil compacted, drains and lighting adjusted, and then install new pavers and stacked stone on sit wall. The team supervised by Raffi was extremely kind, respectful, punctual, and professional in every way. Their work ethic and enthusiasm for making sure everything was moving forward with our design and materials made it a very enjoyable experience for us. And when it was all done, we couldn't be more happy! We absolutely love their workmanship and dedication to making us pleased with the results. The expert and experienced team of hardworking individuals was truly amazing. We highly recommend Artisan Outdoor!! **★★★★★ — Megan Guthrie, May 2026** > We recently completed a backyard remodel with Artisan, and I can honestly say the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We came in with a vision of creating a tropical lagoon-style oasis, and they brought it to life in a way that was even better than we imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the final result feels like a private resort in our own backyard. > > What truly set Artisan apart was their professionalism, communication, and commitment to quality throughout the entire project. The crew members who worked on-site daily were respectful, knowledgeable, hardworking, and clearly took pride in their craft. Jim, the owner, was personally involved from start to finish—regularly visiting the project to ensure everything stayed on track and met a high standard of quality. Having direct access to and a strong relationship with the owner throughout the process made a huge difference and gave us tremendous confidence every step of the way. > > Communication was seamless, timelines were well-managed, and no detail was overlooked. If you are looking for a company that combines creativity, craftsmanship, professionalism, and customer care, Artisan is absolutely top-tier. We could not be happier with the outcome and highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Marty Sanders, Nov. 2025** > Artisan Outdoor was an excellent company to do business with. I have never dealt with a company whose employees showed up everyday, on time and worked tirelessly to get the job done. Their design work and the actual outcome of the project exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Artisan Outdoor for their landscape design expertise. **★★★★★ — Holly Ottiger, Nov. 2025** > Artisan did a phenomenal job renovating my patio. They listened to my ideas and delivered my dream patio. I was impressed with their professionalism and dedication in delivering a first class product. Everyone on the team is courteous and perfectionistic. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Jack K, May 2025** > All told Artisan was a great company to work with. We are very happy with the final results. > > Work done: > Rear patio floor,deck and built-in BBQ structure demolished and replaced. > > Front of house and Rear of house iron gates replaced with new custom wooden gates built and installed > > Old landscape lighting re designed and replaced with new units > > The staff at Artisan were patient, communicative and all highly experienced. The same goes for the sub contracted vendors they brought in. > > As with any job there were some bumps in the road but all corrections were dealt with in a timely manner and adjusted to my liking. > > Artisan's mission is clearly to deliver a high level of customer service and professionalism. They handle everything whether the work being done is by their staff employees or a company they subcontract to do a portion of the work. The homeowner can really step back if they wish to. > > For this high level of service you pay for it. Artisan's bid was priced higher than other vendors' bids and they would not negotiate. They are far from the cheapest BUT in the end I am happy I decided to spend more mostly because having one skilled company execute a project from beginning to end was, for me, well worth it. **★★★★★ — ljrivera04, May 2025** > Outdoor Artisan is an exceptional company with expert employees who are dedicated to making your wish list come true! I had always wanted a pool when we bought our historic home, but we had to dedicate our funds to other more pressing projects. & then along came our beautiful daughter! > (PS...kids are expensive!). So now as we are slowing down, I had a "blonde moment" & wanted to see my original dream in real life. > Jim is a master of his craft with the patience of a saint. David was able to conceptualize my vision once I provided photos of my wish list. Gregorio is meticulous at every aspect of the project. Artisan Outdoor is a company that I talk about & mention to anyone & everyone who has the means & the dreams. They certainly made mine come true!!! **★★★★★ — yshmidt, Dec. 2023** > I recently had the pleasure of working with Artisan Outdoor of Costa Mesa on a comprehensive backyard renovation. Anticipating a significant transformation, I was still amazed at the results - nothing short of spectacular. > > From the onset, their team demonstrated exceptional expertise and creativity, turning our narrow, limited-use backyard into a more expansive and engaging environment. They skillfully designed multiple conversation and gathering areas, each with its own unique charm. > > The pavers they installed are a perfect blend of rustic elegance and functionality, expanding and enhancing the overall look and feel of our outdoor space. Their professional installation, complete with proper underlayment, ensures longevity. The interspersed grass areas soften the hardscape, while the strategic lighting at night bathes the space in a warm glow, creating an inviting atmosphere. > > A standout addition is the new hot tub deck, crafted with Trex decking. This practical choice offers low-maintenance and durability, coupled with a sleek, modern appearance. It quickly became our family's favorite relaxation and entertainment spot. > > The installation of a stunning fountain with a dribble wall has entirely transformed my garden's ambiance. The sound of gently trickling water, paired with underwater lighting, creates a serene retreat, casting mesmerizing ripples of light and shadow. > > Their design and construction of the outdoor kitchen were precisely what I envisioned. Equipped with ample space, state-of-the-art appliances, and finished with beautiful quartzite veneer that echoes the fountain's design, it's ideal for both lively gatherings and tranquil family dinners. > > The tropical plantings, carefully selected and arranged by Artisan, have added life, color, and increased privacy to our outdoor space. The self-contained planters with integrated water and drainage systems ensure lush, vibrant scenery with minimal maintenance, reminiscent of a tropical retreat. > > In conclusion, Artisan Outdoor not only met but exceeded my expectations at every turn. Their attention to detail, commitment to quality, and artistic vision have transformed my backyard into a true oasis. They efficiently completed the project on schedule and within budget. I wholeheartedly recommend Artisan Outdoor to anyone aspiring to transform their outdoor space into something extraordinary. **★★★★★ — Mary Thompson, Oct. 2023** > I was super impressed with the detail you put into the bid. Even more is how incredible the project came out. Thank you so much! **★★★★★ — Jennifer Martiny, April 2022** > We can only say good things about Artisan Outdoor. They took care of the whole process, integrated our feedback and gave even better suggestions, were completely upfront about the costs, and all the workers were very professional. Our backyard was completely transformed and looks amazing. We will use them again if we get the chance. **★★★★★ — tehankins, March 2022** > I hired Artisan to 1) refresh/change out many of the existing plants in our back yard, 2) change the landscaping of our front entrance, 3) improve and repair the landscape lighting front and back, and 4) to repair some broken sprinkler heads in the planters. In the plantings I was interested in having Artisan recommend drought tolerant varieties. Artisan came through with recommendations, a plan and a budget. They were responsive and timely. When a portion of the lawn needed to be replaced Artisan took ownership of that part of the project and made it happen. I highly recommend Artisan. Great people to work with and professional. **★★★★★ — stevetiso, Aug. 2021** > I tried contacting 5 contractors for an outdoor project I had and only Artisan responded quickly and professionally. They came over, gave some good guidance and prepared a detailed proposal in a few days. Gave me a price in my budget and have met it every step of the way. Were honest on time to do the job and showed up every time they said between 7AM to 8AM and were quite, neat and professionally. Braulio (the forman) and Alberto and Elmer were excellent workers and took pride in their work. Roger (boss) kept in touch and they finished the job on time and in budget and an excellent job. All good. **★★★★★ — Kirsten Michulka, June 2021** > LANs ape project, pool and fire pit. Design and quality of workmanship was top notch. Responsive and communicative at each stage of the process. Took extra care at project end to make sure we were completely satisfied and had all needed documentation on pool equipment and irrigation systems. Beautifully done. ## Selected projects - [Outdoor Kitchen and Dining](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-kitchen-and-dining-pj-vj~7253663) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: A collection of some of our past projects and designs showcasing outdoor cooking and eating spaces which range in size and style. - [Pools and Spas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pools-and-spas-pj-vj~7252958) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: A collection of some of our past projects and designs showcasing pools and spas of various styles and sizes. - [Water Features](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/water-features-pj-vj~7252988) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - Description: A collection of some of our past projects and designs showcasing water features of various styles and sizes. - [Lawns and Synthetic Turf](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lawns-and-synthetic-turf-pj-vj~7253016) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - Description: A collection of some of our past projects and designs showcasing both natural and synthetic lawns. - [Fire Features](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fire-features-pj-vj~7253703) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: A collection of some of our past projects and designs showcasing fire features of various styles and sizes. - [Planters](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/planters-pj-vj~7254550) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: A collection of various planters we have chosen to incorporate in past projects and designs. - [Salt Spray Drive Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/salt-spray-drive-residence-pj-vj~6850869) - Location: Laguna Niguel, CA - Photos: 14 - [Newport Coast Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newport-coast-residence-pj-vj~3128852) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 10 - [Dover Shores Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dover-shores-residence-pj-vj~3014492) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 9 - [Newport Coast Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newport-coast-residence-pj-vj~3127451) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 7 - [Newport Coast Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/newport-coast-residence-pj-vj~3127378) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 9 - [A Quiet Place Resort Living - Irvine](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/a-quiet-place-resort-living-irvine-pj-vj~7895247) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 7 - [Irvine Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/irvine-residence-pj-vj~6166980) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 6 - [Irvine Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/irvine-residence-pj-vj~3662744) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 6 - [Past Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/past-projects-pj-vj~3528611) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [One Ford Road Newport Beach CA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/one-ford-road-newport-beach-ca-pj-vj~7704725) - Location: Newport Beach, CA - Photos: 23 - [Decks](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/decks-pj-vj~7364750) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 2 [See all 17 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/artisan-outdoor-pfvwus-pf~2115793624) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/840720368.m3u8?s=c282fbd4a5f32c303f0e2ca8f71a766ab197b519&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Community Q&A **Q: dimensions of pool?** *(in Photo Questions)* thanks!
