Testimonials

Landscape, Design and Find made our new backyard experience wonderful, exciting and most of all easy. After hearing so many horror stories’ of contractors over charging, delaying completion and using stalling tactics, my wife and I were very nervous and skeptical when we began our search for designers and contractors. We were so fortunate to find Landscape Design and Find. Every step of the process was professional and prompt. We were provided with very detailed landscape and pool design plans and put in touch with very competent and trustworthy contractors. There was very little work or worry on our part. The whole landscape and pool project was done quickly and smoothly in 90 days! Now, I’m sure we could have saved a little bit of money by doing the project management ourselves and shopping for the lowest priced contractors BUT you get what you pay for……….and we got a beautiful landscaped yard and pool with no worries or headaches. The new back yard and the overall experience were totally worth every dollar. You will be more than satisfied if you choose Landscape, Design and Find!

Just a short note to let you know how pleased we are with our recent landscaping project. Everything has met or exceeded our expectations. The design concept, planting plan and the contractor's workmanship have provided us with what we consider a showpiece front yard. Although fraught with the vagaries of Mother Nature last winter, a record rainfall and a requirement for completion by a certain date, everything progressed as planned. We were able to depart on our vacation knowing all was in order and free from worry. Your contractor's crews are to be commended. They are a hard working professional group that showed a strong desire to produce a quality product and ensure customer satisfaction. Thank you again!

Landscape Design & Find gave us the peace of mind in knowing that the vision we had in our heads could be translated by one of their landscape architects into a beautiful design within our budget, and then presented to seasoned contractors with a solid reputation, who could turn that landscape design into reality. The direct lines of communication between the architect, contractor and owner of Landscape Design & Find LLC ensured that we had no worries through out the entire process. We were very pleased with the professionalism, the workmanship, and the integrity of everyone involved.

It is a warm afternoon and before sitting down to write this testimonial, I played horseshoes with my son in my front yard, in an area that had been an unusable stretch of dying grass and weeds a few short months ago. And then we cooled off in our beautiful, green slated pool with small waterfalls that make the water dance. The pool is in a spot that had previously been an unattractive side yard with more weeds, a massive and messy yucca plant, and an out-of -control hedge. Our front and side yards have been transformed thanks to the creativity and hard work provided by Landscape Design & Find, LLC.

From our first day working with Landscape Design & Find, we knew we made the right choice. While we sat down with their owner and discussed our ideas, another member of his team was busily hand-drawing the dimensions and details of the exterior of our home. Any fool with a computer can create a drawing of the outside of a house. As I watched their designer work, I couldn't help but think "man, these guys are pros!" And the final plan that was produced proved that I was right.

Landscape Design & Find's architect provided us with a planting plan, and a drainage plan, and a lighting plan and a hardscape plan! And details on how the staircase from the upper yard to the lower yard would look. And more details on how the horseshoe pit would be created...to professional specifications! Landscape Design & Find met and exceeded our expectations every step of the way.

And after the plan was created, Landscape Design & Find lined up contractors who bid on the various jobs and helped us make good choices. That is what this testimonial is all about. Landscape Design & Find are professionals who know their business inside and out, but who are also willing to listen to their customer's wants and needs to help them make good design choices. That what Landscape Design & Find did for us and we highly recommend their firm for design expertise, professionalism, and their genuine desire to make their customers happy!

“The design process with Landscape Design & Find LLC was a very pleasant and effortless experience.  Their designers developed and created landscape design concepts that we could never have come up with on our own.”

                                                                                -Ralph & Donna Reedy, San Diego, CA.

“We had the most wonderful experience with Landscape Design & Find LLC.  This is a statement we are sure is rarely made about landscape designers but one we can honestly attest to. They did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it and anyone that takes on a design project of this magnitude (1.5 of 4.6 acres) knows how unusual that is. This team is comprised of experts that are professional, knowledgeable and thorough.  They were so easy to work with; they started with our required elements, listened to our suggestions and offered advice based on their experiences with other clients.  We are thrilled with our final plans and look forward to many years enjoying the “Dream Yard” Landscape Design & Find LLC created for us.”

“I would like to take the time to thank your team for the outstanding design, professionalism, and fabulous service in creating the landscape design for my home in San Marcos. I appreciate the time, effort, and prompt customer service during our creative design meetings. Please do attend our house warming party so you can see what you created. Success is a Journey not a Destination...It lies within us. Warmest Regards,”

" We started with the plan and then made many changes. But let us be the first to tell you (and you can use our names to market your service) that NOT going with your plan and contractors was a BAD idea. We decided to let a contractor friend of the family handle the whole thing. We thought we could trust people that we knew and could maybe get a little more for our money. We were just plain wrong. The job was started in November 2005 with demolition. Many aspects of the work had to be redone because of poor quality. We'd go for weeks with no one working. By March 2007, we told them to just go away with what had been completed left behind. Our own landscape gardener has repaired all the non functioning drainage-not a small task. It has been a DISASTER. Lesson learned and we wish we could have been a reference for your Blossom Valley client. I don't think they'd be impressed with our unfinished project.
