Land Studio C

Darren is simply the best! We had a rough template for our back yard when Darren stepped in. He provided professional drawings which fine tuned the template, and provided a schedule for plantings. three years later our yard is beautiful and thriving! We were so pleased that we hired him to redesign the front yard as well. Darren is professional, collaborative and a pleasure to work with.

We had the best experience with Land Studio C. Darren was amazing. Had tons of good ideas and was a great listener as well and spent the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in an outdoor space. We ended up with a real scene stealer of a back yard that still stuns us a year and a half later. It’s the best part of our home.

Land Studio C is a fantastic firm to work on a project with. Everything was top notch- from developing the project vision, producing plans, accurate estimates and contractor selection. Our project came together on time and on budget. My property was transformed from an old grass patch to a wonderful retreat. What a great experience, I would highly recommend working with Darren Reynolds and Land Studio C.

The transformation was incredible. We have gotten countless complements on our yard. He had a great vision and we followed it to a tee. It paid off. He and the workers he works with are very professional. It was a great experience.

We had a great experience with Darren redesigning our backyard. From the beginning he did a great job explaining his role, the project next steps and how best we could be involved in the process. He was professional and gave us a clear understanding of what to expect with regard to our budget in which case we were able to stay within the perimeters of. Darren's contemporary style was exactly what we were looking for. He made great use of all our space and was able to recycle and incorporate some of the existing material to create an amazing oasis! We highly recommend him!

We have worked with Darren on two projects. We chose him based on the quality of his work, modern aesthetic, and friendly attitude. He's a great guy, who is also very good at the sometimes difficult job of setting reasonable expectations. Darren is creative and willing to work within a budget to get the best design possible. He also gave us great recommendations for local contractors, and was responsive throughout construction. He still checks in to make sure all is well. Our yards are beautiful and functional for our family to enjoy. We wholeheartedly recommend Darren and Land Studio C!

Working with Darren has been a pleasure. He listened to our concerns and wishes and yard issues. He addressed them all and designed our backyard perfectly for our needs. During the project he was responsive to questions and patient with concerns. I hightly recommend Darren.

We are thrilled with the transformation of our backyard that Darren Reynolds of Land Studio C designed. We knew Darren was experienced in modern, Eichler design when we hired him, but did not anticipate how wonderfully he would incorporate all our needs into a smart, savvy design that worked with our budget. Darren is a pleasure to collaborate with, always cheerful, patient, and enthusiastic. I recommend him without reservation. Our home was a contractor flip that ended at the back door. The yard was an empty expanse of bark and neglected fruit trees that we soon learned turned into a lake during heavy rains. We needed both a drainage and design plan. We shared with Darren our long list of wants on a modest budget; defined areas, privacy screening, bocce court, fire pit, garden area, and future spa site. He gave us all that and more. His idea of using a dry creek to address our drainage issue, took a shady area along a drab fence and turned it into a show stopper. And cost effective ideas like the wire trellis with evergreen vines along our fence, gives us lovely greens to look at once the leaves fall from the fruit trees. It’s thoughtful ideas like this (and our cool new rain chain), we would never have considered. Lastly when the plants arrived and went in, the colors and textures all flowed together so well, I was delighted. We love our new yard!

The work that Darren at Land Studio C is breathtaking. He completely transformed our backyard into a welcoming outdoor space. Additionally, his suggestions around water usage and local plant choices have made for a thriving, beautiful, and sustainable home.

Best landscape architect firm we've ever used. Darren Reynolds is creative; knows how to design within a budget, hard-working and extremely talented.

I never realized how creative and how valuable Land Studio C would be until we started working together to understand our thoughts and wishes to design and transform our wild, overgrown, steep, unusable Mont Marin backyard hill into a beautiful, natural, functional and usable property. From our initial meeting with Darren, I knew he was the one. Our first meeting was on the hill, and in his boots, started to trek around while asking questions. Before Land Studio C, we thought we had an idea of how to design the hill, and after Darren listened, he started to point out the realistic challenges. When I asked what he thought, he blew me away with his creative ideas that I never would have conceptualized, nor even possible. Land Studio C made the process simple and convenient, and full of value with his knowledge of hardscaping and landscaping to fall within our budget. He presented a full-scale architectural plan that gave us more than we could have imagined. It was easy to understand and included flowers, plants and trees that are modern, interesting, and low maintenance. But best of all he gave us sun and amazing space to entertain and enjoy. I absolutely recommend Land Studio C for any job, as he delivered on his promise, and transformed a useless overbearing hillside into a space that will yield fruits and vegetables, family memories, and everyday enjoyment.

When we decided to hire a landscape designer to re-do our deck, we had a clear idea of what the end result should be. Our plan consisted of bringing the living room, dining and kitchen to the outdoors on a very sunny, old porch. Darren Reynolds proved to be a most effective and creative architect. He quickly understood and transferred our vision into a wonderful and unique outdoor entertaining area. He was resourceful, always on time and willing to cooperate and answer any questions we had. He met all deadlines and budgets with accuracy and to our complete satisfaction.
