**★★★★★ — Yeung Ha, April 2018**

> Our entire backyard renovation has just finished and we love our finished product! We can’t wait to see it become even more beautiful over the coming years.
>
> When we first met with Darryl we had a general idea of what we wanted — to add enhancements to our existing yard and also to create different looks with water conservation in mind. Darryl presented us with three great plans and we ended up combining two of them. The resulting design incorporated a curvilinear lawn area and a separate Zen garden. Darryl also added a rock river bed that we wanted and specified plants, trees and grass. Darryl supervised the construction and he even lifted and placed some stones himself personally to make them look just right in ideal spots. I am a visual and detailed person and I was always asking Darryl questions. I soon found out that Darryl had already thought out every facet of the installation and had taken care of all my questions.
>
> Darryl also introduced us to a great contractor. He and his crew worked hard, were conscientious, and cleaned up after each day’s work.
>
> The quality of Darryl's work is exceptional. HIs designs reflect his professional design background with 10 years experience in the landscaping business. His projects are creative, intuitive and shows his vast knowledge of water conserving yet beautiful vegetations. He was prompt with his work but he also took a lot of time finding out what we wanted and was very patient when we weren't sure. He made suggestions that were always good. We can’t say enough good things. A couple of my friends are already talking with his company to renovate their yards!
>
> We highly recommend Landscape Nirvana for any landscaping needs and I would not hesitate to call them with any work in the future.

**Comment from Landscape Nirvana:**

> Much thanks for your kind words Yeung! It was was gratifying working with you and Marty and I'm so glad you are happy with the result. I especially appreciate working with a fellow creative being able to discuss design on a deeper level. It certainly helped that we have very similar tastes! I couldn't have asked for a nicer clients.

**★★★★★ — Ashish Raina, Sept. 2017**

> Darryl is a pleasure to work with and would unequivocally recommend for any project you have related to landscaping. He's easy to work with, collaborative and thoughtful with his recommendations. He came through for us while near the end of our project where he helped to place our plants in the right spot. It was huge peace of mind to count on him when it was needed most to make big decisions. He also had the capacity to modify his own plan on the fly and make it work for us. I am thrilled with how the project turned out and highly recommend him for a project of any size.

**Comment from Landscape Nirvana:**

> Thank you Ashish, it was a pleasure working with your and Kalinda. I especially appreciated your input and collaboration. I hope the boys are enjoying their new sports yard! I'm really looking forward to next season when your landscape has matured into it's best form. Thanks again and I'll be in touch.

## Selected projects

- [Pacifica Front Yard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacifica-front-yard-pj-vj~5625119)
  - Location: Pacifica, CA
  - Photos: 5
  - Description: This small front yard entrance garden was designed to be colorful, interesting and welcoming for this lovely family. A simple flagstone path invites visitors in while varied low water plantings add color and texture.
- [Los Altos Playful Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-altos-playful-landscape-pj-vj~5625127)
  - Location: Los Altos, CA
  - Photos: 6
  - Description: This project was designed to be playful, user-friendly backyard with lots of run around room, a central stream/pond, a secret hangout corner for the kids, a spacious patio framed by an 'L' shaped BBQ island. Three colorful 'art walls' against the sides and back borders create vibrant color palette regardless of season. The front yard is also meant to be inviting for neighbors featuring a nice paver patio space to sit and enjoy the canopy of a large shade tree.
- [Pacifica California Native Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacifica-california-native-landscape-pj-vj~5625131)
  - Location: Pacifica, CA
  - Photos: 6
- [San Bruno Small Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-bruno-small-creek-pj-vj~5625141)
  - Location: Hillsborough, CA
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: You don't necessarily need a large space to create a pleasing landscape. Sometimes small, intimate features that are meant to be view up close can be quite special. Add some flowing water and it will be your favorite place to be.
- [Hillsborough Dry Creek](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hillsborough-dry-creek-pj-vj~2648293)
  - Location: Hillsborough, CA
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: Dry creek features have always been a feature of Japanese gardens. It's a great way to add interest to a front or backyard that doesn't require much maintenance (just a quick leaf blow every once in a while) Building one is not as simple as it might seem. Careful rock placement is required.
- [Pacifica Low water Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pacifica-low-water-landscape-pj-vj~5625121)
  - Location: Pacifica, CA
  - Photos: 2
  - Description: The client wanted a landscape that looked good and once established didn't require irrigation. This is the garden at year three with very limited irrigation.
- [Novato Japanese Style Landscape](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/novato-japanese-style-landscape-pj-vj~5625118)
  - Location: Novato, CA
  - Photos: 10
  - Description: This mature landscape has survived drought, deer and disease. In this fortunate case, both neighbors signed on simultaneously to ensure a seamless transition between homes (fences were not allow by the HOA). It's a great example of how large boulders and large volume of stones can really define a landscape. The waterfall along the front entrance staircase adds a special touch.
- [Palo Alto Modern Eichler Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palo-alto-modern-eichler-backyard-pj-vj~5625112)
  - Location: Palo Alto, CA
  - Photos: 7
  - Description: A modern design that is very kid friendly. The bracketed lawn space protects plants from errant soccer balls while imparting a strong contemporary theme for this Eichler residence.
- [Novato Backyard Renovation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/novato-backyard-renovation-pj-vj~5625102)
  - Location: Novato, CA
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: A cozy back patio meant for entertaining complete with fireplace, BBQ island and natural waterfall.
- [Davis Zen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/davis-zen-pj-vj~5625123)
  - Location: Not specified
  - Photos: 2
  - Description: This represents the Zen practitioner's desire for a peaceful and tranquil setting. The first image is an indoor atrium garden that can be viewed by almost any room in the house. The second image is a natural, recirculating waterfall into the pool.
- [Los Altos Japanese Style Backyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/los-altos-japanese-style-backyard-pj-vj~5625168)
  - Location: Los Altos, CA
  - Photos: 4
  - Description: This young landscape has yet to it's intended form but still displays interesting forms including a dry creek and a dry lake shore. It will be even better next year.

**Q: White flower plant** *(in Photo Questions)*

Beautiful look! What is the spreading plant with white flowers in top left corner?

A: Hi Janet, I think that was Fragaria chiloensis, ornamental strawberry.
