Logiculture

Logiculture recently completed a complete hardscape and landscape refresh of our backyard. Rob was very responsive to my initial outreach over email and in scheduling a site visit. We gave him a general idea of what we were looking for. He came back with a rough sketch of what we were looking for, and an estimate within our budget that included hardscaping *and* landscaping, along with irrigation and a contingency budget. (Lots of contractors we spoke to did landscaping or hardscaping, but not both; and none came with design ideas.)

As demolition was ending, Monica came back with more specific designs, including for our deck and specific pollinator-friendly and low-water plants. The design discussion was collaborative and she took into account that the yard would be used by dogs and kids (thus plants needed to withstand less-than-mindful foot traffic).

The crew were always on time and left the site (and our garage) cleaner than they found it.

Thank you to Rob, Monica, Ryan, Mick, Oscar, and Keith for a fabulous job! As you'll see from before pics, the concrete deck was uneven, small, and the yard was a weedy sand pit. Now it's an amazing entertainment space where the kids can play safely, bees and hummingbirds can catch a meal, and then rest of us can hang out and enjoy!

Our backyard was an abomination and sad, and Logiculture transformed it into an urban oasis. Rob and his team listened carefully to our ideas and goals, and came up with a landscape design that was perfect for us. Throughout the process, we often asked questions and Rob and his team were always prompt in responding via text and emails. They were also open to adjustments during the build out and was very conscious about our budget and timeframe. Not only that, Rob's team was wonderful to work with. They punctually showed up every day at 9am, hard at work and very respectful to my entire family. Their prices were also reasonable too, considering the amount of work involved. I can't recommend them enough. Pictures speak louder than words, so here are a few before and after pics.

We had a lovely experience with Rob, Monica, and Tom from Logiculture. I was referred to Rob from my sister, who also had their backyard done by them. Rob was responsive and collaborative as we built out designs that worked well for our space and within our budget. As a gardening novice I appreciated the insights Rob and his team shared as to what would work well in our backyard, our neighborhood, and his sustainable approach.

We adore the Mediterranean vibe to our backyard and can't wait to grow veggies on our custom raised beds. Overall a 10/10 experience--I'd highly recommend Logiculture to anyone looking for a revamp to their front and backyards!

Rob, Monica and the rest of the team did an incredible job with our yard. Before they arrived, it was a desolate wasteland of neglect and eternal despair. Afterwards, it's an elegant and fragrant oasis that will (literally) bear fruit for years to come.

They possessed both the inspiration to conceptualize a plan as well as the ability to follow through and deliver on time. They found ways to repurpose old concrete blocks I thought were destined for the landfill and turned it into a herb spiral adding a textural constant to the yard as a whole. I'm considering starting an interpretive dance troupe and choreographing an incantation to grant my garden favor with the sun and rain deities.

The team found ways to integrate aspirational and nostalgic elements for us into the landscape design process making it a really personalized experience. They were good communicators and indulged my daily musings and questions as they moved through the execution phase of the project.

My one bit of frustration is that after finishing up a long renovation process on the interior of my house I'm now considering moving into the greenhouse instead since the backyard is indeed the nicest part of my lot.

Do you think you have a back yard that is hopeless? Do you look out the window and just think..."Ugh...?"

Well we did too...that is until Rob, Monica, and Marina showed up to transform our giant shitty yard into an urban oasis. Earlier in the pandemic, it was pretty evident that private outdoor space was going to be social currency and it was as good a time as any to literally get our house in order. We pulled together a Pinterest board and met with Rob who heard our our ideas and came back to us so quickly with an awesome proposal for the space. We had entertained previous contractors before and the plans never quite came to fruition. Either the budget was a bit too high, the scope a bit too ambitious, or the people just ghosted us. Logiculture was just much different in every regard in that they knew our area and our yard. The sunset is just full of shitty yards and they just intrinsically know what to do with them and their quotes are so reasonable!

Us meeting and deciding to work together was like lightning in a bottle. We really loved their vibe and we felt the crew was incredibly collaborative and super communicative. They pulled us in at the right times to discuss scope changes and material selections and were happy to take on some extra projects we threw at them in total mellow stride. Their work is awesome and high quality and they don't cut corners. On top of that? They just had the best vibe of any crew we have ever worked with. Lots of integrity and pride in their work with these folks. We couldn't recommend anyone more!

Logiculture was absolutely amazing for our new backyard. They came highly recommended from a neighbor and we were blown away by their approach, professionalism, engagement and, most importantly, the result.

They totally transformed our backyard - a sloping pit of white rock - into an amazing oasis. From design to completion, they helped layout our space, build the decking, select the best local plants to thrive in our area, and even incorporated some whimsical ideas for our kiddos. They efficiently worked to get transform our space, all while staying in frequent contact and graciously and eagerly accepting our new ideas along the way.

I'd highly recommend this crew to anyone!!

We are totally happy with the work that Rob and his wonderful team did on our front yard. It started as a weedy, gopher ridden area that had been neglected for 30 years and now is beautifully landscaped with native plants, bee and butterfly friendly non-natives and succulents. Our front concrete walkway was replaced with a beautiful stone and paver stairway, lovingly and painstakingly hand cut by Mick.
As other reviews have mentioned, working with this team was a complete pleasure. They were communicative, hardworking, pleasant, and receptive to questions. Overall, I would work with them again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

I enthusiastically recommend Logiculure.

I've been s-l-o-w-l-y mostly DIY-ing my yard into a garden over many years. I'm glad I reached out for help, which transformed my yard--part of which was a barren dirt hill--into raised vegetable beds and fruit trees and some pops of ornamental color.

The end is an alive naturescape, already attracting more butterfly traffic and honey bees. But as much as I value the finished product, I appreciate how the process happened. Everyone on Yelp knows phone calls to professionals can often get lost in voicemail oblivion, but Rob responded to communications right away, quickly set-up an initial onsite visit where he suggested ideas I hadn't considered, and work was underwear soon thereafter. I wanted something very simple and rustic where nature was highlighted. He made a simple plan, more imaginative and aesthetically interesting than I had conceived of on my own. I stressed that I wanted simplicity and not too many choices. There were a couple of ideas I hesitated on, but they turned out to be strokes of aesthetic inspiration. Rob is open to feedback, but I mostly entrusted the ideas of he and Monica, his Logiculture partner.

In two weeks, the two of them transformed my yard. They are hardworking, good-humored, focused, ecologically-minded, and efficient. In our upside, ailing world, a garden seems like a good investment. Mine turned out exponentially more beautiful than I'd envisioned and nourishing with ripening fruit and vegetables. I whole-heartedly recommend Logiculture, Rob, and Monica.

Rob and team are great. Finished ahead of schedule, on budget and better than expected. They had creative ideas to make our yard look great. This was one of the most seamless, easy times working on a house improvement project I've ever had. Would strongly recommend them.

Robert is fantastic! I have no complaints. He's super responsive and is SUPER nice.

After making a mess of our backyard, we decided to hire Robert for his expertise. He assisted us in creating a beautiful sense garden for our toddler in our backyard. He was also able to install a drip system and planted many new plants for our 3 very LARGE planters and worked around our existing plants. He also made multiple trips to bring in mulch and soil.

After a simple inquiry about how some of the plants looked, Robert came back within days to assist us in pruning and fixing up some of the plants.

Logiculture is a small operation but it fit our needs and we definately will support his company in the future. Sadly, he only works in SF, but we hope he becomes more successful and expands to the East Bay/Pennisula for future jobs.
