I would use them again. my front yard and 1/2 my backyard look great. **★★★★★ — karengibson84, Dec. 2023** > Working with Patty and her team was exceptional! We needed a refresh of our back yard, not a total re-do, and many others kept trying to upsell us on different "add-ons". Patty listened intently, came up with wonderful ideas, and communicated throughout the entire project. Her team was very professional. The site was kept clean at all times and they even took care to make sure the gate was always closed so the dogs would not get out. I have found Patty to be very up front, kind, and incredibly creative. I have already recommended her to others and will continue to do so. **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you Karen , it was very nice to work with you guys too. **★★ — Eric H, May 2023** > Unpleasant & unprofessional experience over a 4-month, $100K+ job. The \*crew\* (the guys actually doing the work) did a decent job overall, which is the only reason I’m rating 3 stars, but the rest of our time working with Patty and Andie was nothing but stress and I would strongly suggest that you hire someone else. > > They rolled out the red carpet to charm us and get us under contract, and then were treated as last priority. We did everything we could think of to improve communication with them, but they just didn't seem to care about anything other than getting the job done as quickly and cheaply as possible so that they could get paid. > > Patty and Andie flat-out lied to us many times over the course of our project. The first and biggest lie from Patty was that she would be on the job site every day to make sure things were going along well and make sure our questions were answered. She’s repeated this lie in social media videos. After we got under contract, she immediately went on a month-long vacation w/out telling us, leaving us confused as the crew started demolition on our property. When she got back, she showed up at best twice a month to film instagram selfies. Andie said she would be at the site every other day, which was laughable. It’s not clear to me what was keeping them so busy, but clearly we were not a priority. > > They mis-measured constantly. Ordered too many materials and charged us for their mistake. Then they ordered too little material for our deck which caused weeks of delays. They constantly would put things into the ground in the wrong location and I'd have to go ask them to move it. They threw away an entire cord of firewood that I had planned to burn, and it was like pulling teeth just getting them to just apologize for it. We went out of our way to be understanding and easy to work with, and that respect was never returned. The crew left trash everywhere on our property throughout the project. They damaged our stucco and never repaired it (even after I called them out on it). > > And when the project was complete, not only was there trash all over our property, but Patty just texted us with “… we are done with your project. Let me know if you have any questions.” That was followed by a text asking for the last payment. Not a single “thank you”. Not a single “nice working with you”. Not a single “are you happy with everything?” > > Landscaping can be very expensive and stressful. Do yourself a favor and spend your hard-earned money with someone that will treat you and your project with the respect that it deserves. **★★★★★ — HU-468399490, Sept. 2022** > Patty and her team did an outstanding job on our landscaping project at our Carlsbad home. Andie was very knowledgeable and helped us create an amazing plant palette, and the landscaping crew was very hardworking and professional. We couldn’t be happier with their work. A few years ago, we used a bigger company from San Diego that charged us more for very mediocre work. We’ll never use that other company again now that we’ve discovered IEED. **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you so much, we really enjoy working with you guys. **★★★★★ — Earleen Chandler, April 2022** > If you are looking for a creative and efficient group to help you with your landscaping project IEED is the one! Patty met with us and came up with thoughtful and realistic ideas for our yard. We are extremely pleased not only with Patty but her entire crew. We are excited to now enjoy our updated outdoor space. **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you Earleen, it was such a pleasure working with you and Lisa. I love that you are enjoying your new courtyard area with that gorgeous Fireplace! **★★★★★ — Missi Forrest, Dec. 2021** > Absolutely amazing! I can't say enough wonderful things about Patty and her team. We knew we wanted to replace our deck and add an outdoor kitchen and hot tub, but we weren't exactly sure how everything was going to fit and flow. After our consultation with Patty, her team provided us with renderings that brought the whole design to life. Each step of the way, she consulted with us if issues came up or minor changes needed to be made, but communication was great. Patty also provided great help in picking out the dining table, chandeliers, pillows, etc so that everything came together beautifully. We highly recommend their services if you want to transform your backyard space! **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you Missi, I loved working on your landscape design and specially because we were elected From Architectural Digest for your project. **★★★★★ — lisarose49, Aug. 2020** > Patty and the crew from IEED were fantastic to work with! From the beginning, Patty helped us develop our idea into an aesthetically pleasing and highly functional design. Patty handled all of my requests, concerns and changes with confidence and professionalism. Her team worked quickly and were always a pleasure to have in our space, treating our yard with care, cleaning up at the end of each day and always friendly and smiling. I would trust IEED with any job, big or small. **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you so much, it was a pleasure working in your project. **★★★★★ — HU-328453929, June 2020** > The Interior and Exterior Environmental Design team we’re very professional and did an outstanding job on my backyard project. I will definitely recommend this company to family and friends. **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you so much, It was a pleasure working with you. I am so happy that you love your new backyard design. **★★★★★ — Maggie Osburn, June 2020** > Patty, Andie and their crews are amazing. Creative, Passionate, detail oriented, and they come in on time and on budget every time. I have personally used them for 2 homes and referred them to dozens of friends. All are extremely happy with the work and results. **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you Maggie, its always a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Peg Crowley, May 2020** > Great work and fair pricing. Patty and her crew are totally professional! I highly recommend this company. You can't go wrong! **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you so much Peggy, it was my pleasure to work on your commercial building. **★★★★★ — HU-801983995, April 2020** > We hired Interior and Exterior Environmental Designs to completely overhaul our front yard. Patty was wonderful to work with and her design and plant choices are incredible. Daily, we receive compliments from neighbors and passerby. The crews are very professional and extremely diligent and hard working. We could not be happier. **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you so much, we love that you are happy with your design **★★★★★ — Marge Kohl, Oct. 2018** > Patty quickly responded to my inquiry and we set a date to meet. Upon inspecting the area she immediately had ideas and suggestions. Within a couple days we had the estimate and a planned start date. We are very pleased. The crew worked diligently, answered our questions, and always cleaned the area at the end of the day. We're planning another project with Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs. **Comment from Interior & Exterior Environmental Designs:** > Thank you Marge, it was a pleasure working with you. ## Selected projects - [Recuerdo Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/recuerdo-project-pj-vj~7054308) - Location: Del Mar, CA - Photos: 8 - Description: This lovely couple just moved to del mar and wanted to update their existing landscaping, they wanted to make their slope more usable and have some curb appeal.

They wanted to go up on their slope to gain more space and make their backyard more cozy and aesthetically appealing, we did just that for them by building a wall to retain a lot of dirt and we stuccoed it with santa barbara smooth finish, at the same time we made the wall useable as we converted a portion of it into a water feature. We also added a modern fire pit for all the cozy vibes and get-togethers.

We created a mutual space by implementing a stunning fireplace, we also designed an "L" shaped BBQ with a custom made pizza oven and a wooden panel to hang their TV from, we also created beautiful jacuzzi walls to drop their prefab jacuzzi in. We were able to design their perfect oasis and they were left so overjoyed! - [Exterior Landscaping](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/exterior-landscaping-pj-vj~2962479) - Location: Carlsbad, CA - Photos: 15 - Description: This client just bought their forever home and needed to start their landscaping and hardscaping from the ground up.

But that's not all, we also custom-built a stunning firepit and to top it off we also designed some metal panels so make their backyard really stand out.
