Nature's Harmony

Richard and his crew (his family) did a great job with my backyard project.

I wanted to redo my entire backyard DIY but didn't want to demo work myself. We set a date and they got to work, grinding out all my old tree stumps, cut out and hauled out my lawn, and moved loads of rocks around my yard and then regraded everything. It was done a day faster than projected, they pressure washed everything and basically reset my disaster of a yard to square one. Highly recommend, will consider them again when I get to my front yard.

We are so grateful to Nature's Harmony, especially Richard and his crew. We have a beautiful backyard garden that we needed some help sprucing up, filled with many flowers, herbs, fruit trees and ornamental plants. We were planning on putting our house on the market, and wanted to work with a team that would do our garden justice.

Richard responded to our call very promptly, and came by to give us an estimate. He was timely, professional, and knowledgeable. It was wonderful that he wasn't at all intimidated by our lovely, but somewhat overgrown garden. He knew exactly what we wanted, it was so easy and a pleasure to show him our garden. He gave us a great estimate, and assured us that the pruning we needed would be done to our specifications. In the pruning of our trees, shrubs, and vines, they were mindful to discuss with us in advance how much to cut back in order to keep the plants happy, the flowers blooming, and the fruits available in the timeframe we were working with. Richard is detailed, a great listener, and we felt we could trust him completely.

About two weeks later, we had some back and forth, and Nature's Harmony was able to complete everything we asked, and even more! For example, they noticed that our hanging baskets in front of the house was not on our drip system- and they just put it in for us, without us needing to make another specific request. They totally went above and beyond and made our garden and front look beautiful and polished.

As home sales go, of course, through the course of a month, we kept having additional requests of Richard's crew, and each time, he responded with professionalism and kindness. We decided to relocate so that our home would be staged and cleaned up, to put it's best foot forward. We knew we could rely on Nature's Harmony to do a great job, even without us there. Richard woud keep us updated on anything that was relevant. We were so appreciative to have such a responsive, professional, kind, and knowledgeable team to rely on!

On one occasion, we requested specific weeding on an area of our garden for the listing pictures, Richard responded that he could get around to doing it on the following Tuesday. On Wednesday, Richard called and apologized that something came up and his team was unable to complete the job on Tuesday, would it be alright if they came by today to finish it? That really gave us trust in Nature's Harmony. So many vendors fail to complete things on time, and they're full of excuses, Richard simply apologized and tried to work with us to find the best possible alternative. We appreciated his apology and honesty so much; in these times after COVID, we've all come to appreciate how things don't always work out perfectly on time, but wow, the results of Nature's Harmony's work speaks to the care and dedication they bring to every project, every task.

We sold our house, and our garden was a major feature. It would not have been possible without the beautiful and dedicated work Nature's Harmony brought. We are so very grateful to them, and it's just so wonderful to know there are lovely people out there who go the extra mile just out of love of their work- Nature's Harmony, thank you for doing a beautiful job, for your hard work and dedication and kindness!

Richard and his team did an excellent job in reforming my front yard and backyard. Weeds and unwanted plants have been removed. Weed barrier has been installed. More rocks have been added to reduce weed growth. Got rid of the ugly low quality black mulch with good looking lava rocks. He even gave me a discount for hiring him to do both front yard and backyard. Reasonable pricing and definitely recommend Nature's Harmony to everyone!

We had Nature's Harmony excavate our backyard and install a large section of DG. After getting multiple estimates, we decided to go with them are are so happy we did. While most other landscapers only wanted to work with us if we had them do an entire project costing upwards of $10,000, Richard was willing to do the work we needed help with and let me do the mulching and planting since I've recently gotten into gardening and was also working on a tight budget. Richard was so patient and made three separate trips to our house before we hired them because I kept changing the design of the project. Communication was seamless and he responded promptly to all my questions. The crew worked hard and efficiently to get the job done and were thorough cleaning up afterwards. Thanks to Nature's Harmony, we are going to have the backyard we've been hoping for. We'll definitely hire them again for any future landscaping.

(Picture of some of the DG they installed. Ignore the bare area around it - Richard was willing to entertain the novice DIY landscaper I've become as I plan to mulch those areas and put in native plants)

Fantastic service! Very thorough. They removed a tree tumor from our yard. Did so without harm to the tree. Professional and reliable.

The Nature's Harmony team was superb in helping us implement our vision of a front yard without the headaches and high water consumption of a traditional lawn.

We had previously hired the team in 2022 to help with a backyard clear-out and heavy pruning of numerous overgrown shrubs in our new house (after seeing the transformative work they did on our neighbor's front yard).

After a lot of research and planning, we came up with a design that incorporated a lighted new walking path to the front door, free trees from the Sacramento Tree Foundation, pollinator friendly drought tolerant plantings, a small sitting area, and a colorful, textured palette complimented by a dry creek bed and small mounds.

We showed Richard our design and were relieved to learn he could help us think through the final pieces of the design/implementation and fit us into their schedule. His knowledge and personal insights we truly valued.

Each day from sunrise onward, the Nature's Harmony team worked steadfastly with a tireless work ethic! Regeither Richard or Francisco checked in about the project status, and we often brainstormed together when changes were needed at various stages. Team members Francisco and Mel daily displayed their amazing strength, stamina, professionalism, and versatility.

After two weeks (on schedule!) we had a front yard that went beyond our vision, and paid a final invoice that was fair and well-deserved (Cost-wise, we saved a little by shopping for plants ourselves at several sites in the region). Now a month later we daily enjoy a much more beautiful view (and no mowing!) and look forward to seeing this special garden mature.

They did a great job. Friendly, timely and accommodating. Father and son a great pleasure to work with. Will use them again.

We hired Nature's Harmony to plant 15+ fern pines and a couple of baby spruce trees in our backyard and give our plain backyard some color. We love the way it turned out! They did a great job with the trees and hooked them up to an existing drip line hose. The ground in Elk Grove is so hard, like clay and cement in some points. They have the tools and manpower to make the holes for the trees saving us body aches, time and energy. The crew finished the project in 2 days and cleaned up the area really well, I was very impressed. When we met Richard, he was friendly, informative and easy to talk to and had great suggestions. He gave us a fair price on the work and we are so glad we hired him. I would highly recommend! :)

Richard and his dad along with their crew did a great job with our yard. They hear our concerns and provide the solution... definitely recommend them to our friends and family. I would go back to them if i have any future jobs again!

I am very pleased to have worked with Richard and his team to extend my patio and clean up my front and back yard. Richard provided ample workers that worked diligently to remove a tree and trim and shape several shrubs. I will definitely consider using their services for my future projects. I am a happy customer! Thank you, Richard!
