Habitat & Devries Landscape Design / Construction

Omar is a perfectionist, and anything good is worth waiting for. Our project took longer than we expected, but we are extremely happy with the results! While both a visionary and collaborative, he strives for the best possible outcome for your landscape.

Omar is an artist with a high knowledge of plants and his crew demonstrates pride in what they do. Because our yards (front and back) are only a month completed and at this time we are experiencing a record heat wave which has stressed the new plants, enough time has passed that we have a very good idea what next year and the following years hold. A wide variety of colors and shapes that all meld together just like a well done bouquet. In spite of the heat I am impressed on the rapid growth including the lawn replacement Kurapia in the back yard. One of the goals other than beauty was reduction of water required to keep everything alive. After one month we don't have results on that yet, but I sense that we have made progress with that goal also. Within the last seven years we have remodeled our kitchen and master bath, and because of that we had expectations of time intervals for our project. Working with Omar was a learning experience that taught us that there are significant differences in the types of remodel. The Good news is that Omar exhibited admiral patience and understanding the kept us aware of what was going on. We have been complimented by our neighbors on our beautiful new landscaping and more importantly I have spent more time in the back yard allowing the floral beauty there to recharge my batteries, and in our Covid time that is a very wonderful gift.

We have known Omar Khorsheed for over twelve years during which time time he has designed and landscaped both our front and back yards. Omar is easy to work with and listens carefully to your ideas and concerns. He has an extensive knowledge of horticulture and is able to choose the right plant for each specific situation. He also uses hardscape to enhance the entire project. He has created an oasis of a yard for us and all who see it comment on how serene and beautiful it is. We highly recommend Omar as a landscape designer.

Outstanding experience, we're delighted with the final product. Omar Khorsheed is very insightful, has a great vision, and creates a beautiful experience throughout his projects. He turned the space into a fluid and fully integrated area; the aesthetic is harmonious and precisely what we wanted.

We highly recommend Habitat & Devries Landscape Design/Construction. Our experience was exceptional! Omar and his crew were professional, courteous and diligent. We appreciate the quality of their work. We are extremely happy with our remodeled backyard. We can’t wait to work with Omar on our front yard. Thanks Omar!!!!

Omar and his team from Habitat &Devries were absolutely fantastic! My yard was completely overgrown to the point you couldn’t even walk through it. Now that we are all working from home, I asked Omar to design a peaceful and beautiful garden that would serve as a sanctuary. He came through with flying colors. Omar is incredibly knowledgable. His vision and design skills are extraordinary. I love everything he chose to plant and especially love the design. Plus he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I highly recommend him!

Omar designed a beautiful back yard for us. We wanted a natural, low maintenance, serene space where we could relax under the redwood trees. His design achieved all of this and more - complete with a lovely water feature, two sitting areas, and a wonderful choice of plants. We love the end result!

Over the past four years I have worked with H&D to design and update the landscaping all around my home. The quality of both design and execution is excellent. We've done interesting planting, irrigation, extensive retaining wall and redwood fence.

Working with Omar Khorsheed at H&D Landscape was as smooth as it gets when working with another contractor. His experience and expertise in the phases of construction made our work (CalWater Solutions) easy and straight forward. He communicated his expectations clearly and we were able to provide his client with a below ground 3,574 gallon Rainwater Harvest system to supply a 75% Municipal Water offset through the capture & re-use of rainwater harvested from the roof. He even offered to help us complete the project installation in a small time-frame due to an upcoming rain in the forecast by moving construction material with his own equipment that was scheduled to be on-site at the time we needed it. I look forward to working with him on more projects in the future!

I have worked with Omar about 4 years and enjoy working with him. He is fun and talented and makes you feel comfortable like you are a friend. He cares about his work and his first priority is to make your yard beautiful. When he comes by and sees an area in your yard where he would like to see it even more beautiful he will make adjustments to enhance its appearance. My yard was selected by AAUW, American Association of University Women fund raiser for scholarships for young women, as one of the five yards on their 2015 garden tour. There were hundreds of visitors and many, many compliments on my yard. The picture on this site with the stone steps up from the street to the house is my front yard. Please take a look at it so you can see the quality of his work He is very honest and kind. His crew are great to work with. I gave him 5 well deserved stars. Eloise M.

We have been using Habit & Devries Landscape since December 2006 and are really happy about the owner's professional expertise and the high quality of service from their staff which is quite unique in this industry. Omar, the owner, designed and contructed our front and back yard in 2006/2007 and finished the whole project within the time limit and budget. Since then we also hired the company to do the annual maintenance work because they really know how to maintain and improve the garden with reasonable costs. I highly recommend their service if you are looking for a company that can design and build beautiful gardens and can also provide service/expertise in maintaining the gardens in a long run.

We first engaged Omar to design our backyard landscaping. He worked with us to get the best plan for our space that fit with our lifestyle. Omar listened to what we wanted, but also made his case when he felt strongly about his ideas and what they brought to the design. His plan was creative, artistic and his vision for our space was impressive. With the plan in place, we engaged Omar to complete the project. He and his staff are very respectful, reliable and professional. The products and materials are top quality and Omar ensures the final product meets or exceeds expectations. His recommendations for decking materials, lighting, and plants were very creative. For example, the decking and railing materials are unique and bring a design element to what otherwise might be "mundane" features in the yard. With these positive experiences, we have had Omar complete additional work with our sprinkler systems, front yard improvements, and on-going maintenance of the landscaping project. Omar is regularly on site during the project, ensuring his vision is carried out by his capable crew. When not on site, he is readily available by phone. He takes ownership of the project and goes above and beyond to ensure it is done right up front, and is maintained properly. Omar is very personable and we have enjoyed working with him and getting to know him. We are more than thrilled with the final project, which is beautiful beyond our expectations - and we have Omar to thank for that. We highly recommend Omar and his work.
