Called upon to "spruce" of the landscaping of a home we were selling, Design Build's attention to detail and timely implementation of the project was outstanding.

Hired them twice. In 2016 Loren redid our hardscape around our pool, correcting drainage issues from the original construction. In 2017 he completely redid our Outdoor Kitchen and Dining area, oversaw the putting green installation, resurfaced our fireplace and spruced up our landscaping. I told him to "Surprise me" with the Landscaping and when I walked into the backyard I thought I was walking in to a resort! I was more them pleased.

Design Build did a great job for us. They were professional , responsive and on budget. They brought a number of great suggestions to the project that we had not even considered. I would recommend them.

We did a major re-landscaping project a few years ago with Design Build and were very happy with the entire project from initial design to completion. Their crews were very reliable and professional. Both Rob and Lorne stayed intimately involved with the project and the daily communications were timely and effective. Most importantly, the project was completed on time and within budget. I have recommended their services to many friends of ours.

My wife and I selected Rob Hill and the Design Build Company to architect and build out landscaping for our entire property and were amazed and very pleased with Rob and his team from start to finish. Our new home sits on just over one acre "canvas" upon which Rob created a masterpiece. Throughout the project, we found Rob's workmanship exceptional and his reputation impeccable among suppliers. Experience definitely means something in this business and Rob's foresight and intuition were invaluable as we worked through the project to insure both function and beauty. We give Rob and the Design Build Company our highest recommendation and would give 6 stars if possible!

I saw some of Rob's work in my neighborhood which I admired. He and partner Loren are charming and talented, and a pleasure to work with. We told them what we envisioned, and it turned out better than we imagined. Non-stop complements . We spent a lot but pricing was fair and accounting clear. I found the workers very friendly and so eager to please. Would recommend this group in a heartbeat.

We have worked with Robert and his great crew for the past 8 years on everything from smaller projects to a complete design/build with all hardscape and soft scape performed by them. In addition, we have referred Robert to several friends who have all been equally satisfied with the process as well as the end product. We would highly recommend The Design Build Company for your landscape needs.

Rob and his team helped us create an amazing family home. Rob worked closely with us from concept to design , and building out our family home. He and his team helped tie in so many loose ends and his experience was so helpful for us. They kept us up to date with progress and they delivered. The hard scape, detailed rock work, pool and dry riverbed all came out amazing. We would highly recommend meeting with Rob @ The Design Build Co.

We had major work done soon after buying our house and continue to have up-grades done. Rob and his crew are the best that we have ever worked with in the San Diego area. They are creative, reliable and easy to work with. We've never felt the need to try anyone else.

We have worked with Rob Hill and The Design Build Company on a very large landscape project in Rancho Santa Fe CA and are more than pleased with the design work and its implementation. We are most impressed with the dedication and professionalism of his entire crew. We highly recommend the Design Build Company.
