Living Green Designs

Highly recommend Living Green Designs! The entire process was easy and smooth from the design through construction. Any hiccup we encountered was handled quickly and stress free. Communication was always prompt, straight forward, and easy! Zach’s team was always very respectful of our home, worked hard, and cleaned up nicely everyday. As far as construction projects go, this was by far the most smooth and on time project I’ve been through!

We had just moved into a home that had a newly remodeled interior, but we needed someone to design our front and back yards. Zach and his team were fantastic. The project began with a phone consultation to get a sense for our design preferences, gauge the scope of work, and provide rough pricing estimates. From there, Zach and Gary came for several in-person meetings and worked with us to customize a landscape design plan. Zach was incredibly knowledgeable when addressing our questions and concerns. He always kept our budget in mind. The actual work involved: Front and back yard Demo Clean-up of old vegetation and dirt Irrigation installation Planting of 3 citrus trees and about 40 drought-tolerant plants Back yard Patio: pouring concrete to level out our old patio, then installing new tile on top 70-foot vinyl fence Patio bistro lights Zach was on site multiple times a week as work was being performed. All of his team members were respectful of our property, putting their trash in appropriate bins and even taking our trash cans in on trash day. Best of all, work was completed ahead of schedule! We were so impressed with the work and professionalism that we’ve hired them to help with the landscape maintenance as well. Would highly recommend.

After a major remodel of our house in Palos Verdes, my wife and I were ready to landscape our gardens. Finding the right vendor, however, was not easy. I eventually contacted a trusted friend who had recently had his own landscaping transformed, and he strongly recommended Living Green Designs. It turned out to be one of the best recommendations I can remember. After a few minutes on the phone with Zach, I knew we had found a creative, competitive, professional company we could put our faith in. From that moment, our experience was flawless, from start to finish. From a design perspective, Zach was able to take our broad vision and turn it into a tangible plan, which captured everything we had dreamed of and more. His ideas and solutions took our concept to the next level. The design process is clear and defined, visual and mathematical at the same time. From layout and structure to hardscape and softscape to trees and plants, his detailed plans enabled us to make informed choices and decisions quickly and easily, and visualize the physical project for the first time. His guidance along the way was enlightening, translating our vision onto the page. He was a breath of fresh air. From the start, the numbers were explained clearly in a way that was simple to understand and made us comfortable to move forward with confidence. When Living Green Designs began the landscaping it was incredibly smooth and efficient. I was concerned that our timetable was too aggressive, but we were given a clear schedule and they were ahead every step of the way. Our landscaping crew was smart, courteous, professional and trustworthy. They were there when they said they would be, every single time. Their work is meticulous and, frankly, beautiful. Zach was somehow seemingly always present or close by, providing up to the minute updates and solving problems with ease with a smile. In the end, they turned those early plans, filled with excitement and optimism, into a reality that we could not be happier with. Ahead of schedule and on budget. If you are looking for a landscaping solution, trust me; look no further than Living Green Designs. This is my ever first review of a vendor but I was compelled to spread the word. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Zach and his wonderful company to you, just as I would to my closest friends. The experience and the results are first class, and they also offer very reasonable maintenance to ensure the gardens will continue to look the way they were intended.. I can only thank Zach and his crew for making our dreams a reality through the gardens our family will cherish for years to come.

Great company to work with. Very knowledgeable about what type of plants fit into the design of our house and West Hollywood code! They were very efficient in the planning stage and got us approvals with no problem. Living Green really came through at the end of the project when we were in a bind and had to update our plans. They were prompt and made sure we got our construction across the finish line. Stand up company that cares about their clients. I would recommend Living Green to all my family and friends. It is important for homeowners to have vendors that care about the entire project and not just hammering out plans

Zach was great to work with. He was very helpful during the design phase and had great ideas about how to use our space. Execution was on time and the only charges beyond the initial estimate were additions that we discussed and agreed upon. That was a nice change compared to most other contractors I've worked with. He took the time to talk and explain many things we didn't know, and was very patient as we made up our minds. We're happy with our yards and highly recommend Living Green Designs.

Zach and team were a joy to work with on our backyard and front yard re-do Spring '21. Zach worked with us personally during the design phase, and was a strong listener, but also added value with his own ideas and experience with small yards. While COVID and holidays meant that the actual work started later than we wanted, once the crew was on site, they worked consistently and diligently to complete the project. Zach was present periodically to check work and supervise his team. He is a stand-up guy who is creative, solves problems and wants customers to be happy. His employees seem to respect him and have been with the company a long time. I recommend Living Green Designs without hesitation.

You will not be disappointed if you go with Living Green Designs! We knew that we wanted a new front and backyard but really did not have a design in mind. Gary was easy to work with and provided us with amazing design ideas that we would never have thought of on our own. As we changed things along the way, Gary was very patient and flexible, returning with new detailed plans at every appointment. Zach was able to put the finishing touches on the design and executed the plan beautifully. The crew worked efficiently and masterfully, which resulted in a beautiful oasis for our family to enjoy in a reasonable amount of time and on budget. Zach and Gary were easy to communicate with. We love our new plants, tile, turf, BBQ, dining area and garden and thankful that they provide the maintenance too!

LGD did a great job on our landscaping project. They provided plans and estimates upfront. The work was done in a timely and professional manner. We are very happy with the results and decided to continue with their services for monthly maintenance.
