Shambhala Landscapes

Amazing. High ROI. A+.

Tsering is truly a gifted landscape architect. He is also professional, efficient, and hard-working.

Tsering recently finished a large project on my home. I get daily compliments about my landscaping from random people walking around in the neighborhood. We love it.

I couldn't recommend him highly enough. You'd be lucky to have him.

Tsering and his team transformed my backyard into something we truly love. I couldn't recommend them more. From design to construction he led the way to help me understand what would work best in my space. They worked fast. And did really quality work.

Tsering and his team are awesome! We had a pretty sizeable job (for us) including replacing the entire fence line, replacing retaining walls, resurfacing an old concrete wall, installing turf, demo/building a deck, lighting for everything, and replacement of badly sun damaged home siding. We love our new back yard so much and we are outside all the time now. It makes the home feel bigger as it's greatly increased the livable space we have. We collected 4-5 bids, and while we found the pricing to be in the middle, I got the sense that the quality and value for money would lead to the best outcome working with Tsering and his team. Also of note, they were able to help out with some fabrication work for custom enhancements, as well as small utility adjustments. The team are super talented and nothing was subbed out. The job started on time to the date in the contract even though it was scheduled out months in advance and it was finished at least on time if not ahead of schedule.

Tsering and his team are INCREDIBLE! We recommend them to anyone needing a total backyard renovation. Our backyard was just a strip of dirt and they turned it into an oasis with a wooden deck, privacy wooden structure for our hot tub and cold plunge, turf, built in seating and firepit area, and gorgeous greenery that is low maintenance (with built in irrigation system). They did the job very quickly, respectful (they always left the space clean after coming each day), fairly priced, and so easy to work with. Thank you Tsering, you gave us our dream back yard!

We would give ten stars if we could....Tsering and his crew were just fantastic....by far the best contractor experience we have ever had. We started out with landscaping our front yard which was pathetic in its appearance. We also wanted to rebuild the rear and side decks. As the guys got started we were amazed by the speed and quality of the work - really went far beyond what was "required" in both strength and beauty. he placed landscaping rocks and boulders on a steep hillside as if they were paint on a canvas. Major Talent. But the more we saw, we just wanted more and more....this presented no difficulty for Tsering as he just allowed us to expand the project as we went. By the time he finished, we had a home whose outdoor space had been completely transformed - including outdoor kitchen and fire table with custom made concrete surfaces, drip irrigation, outdoor lighting. And the price we thought was very reasonable. Tsering came highly recommended but he is far better than the recommendation. We had to wait to fit into his schedule but our attitude was that we would wait - consider yourself very very fortunate if you wind up working with him. Every last detail was done to our satisfaction - THANK YOU TSERING AND THANK YOU TO HIS CREW (BTW, same crew has been with him for many years - tells you something...).

Tsering / Shambhala just completed our backyard remodel, and we couldn't be happier. They remodeled our backyard from an unusable space to a spacious and beautiful getaway.

Tsering was accommodating with his scheduling, and prompt in all of his replies. He and his team completed all the work in only a few weeks; very impressive given the existing mess back there from old hedges, rose bushes, and aging trees. He made recommendations along the way related to plant types, layouts, and more that stayed within our style. He also was flexible when we made some design decisions along the way that deviated from the original plan.

The best part was that Tsering was able to span both designing and doing the work. Many other places will only do the design (expensive landscape architects) or the work (gardeners who may not be equipped for iterating on a vision). Tsering bridges both, which we appreciated so that we could be confident that our vision would be executed on without having to involve multiple parties. We fell in love with Tsering's style, and how it came to life with our flagstone patio, artificial grass, japanese maples, bamboo, lemon and lime trees, and more.

We highly recommend Tsering for any backyard remodels and landscaping. Happy to provide more detailed references via DM if desired.

Tsering is one of the best contractors I've worked with! He's very creative and really sweats the details, which shows in the final product. Our backyard turned out very functional and beautiful!

Our house is built on a steep hill so it was hard for us to see how we would utilize the backyard space because we had two retaining walls that minimized the main area. Tsering proposed a great solution that maximized the main area and we couldn't be happier.

Everything his team built -- the fence, deck, geometric stone area, concrete seat and retaining wall, fire pit, bbq area, shower, and sauna foundation were constructed very well. He balanced functionality, symmetry, and simple & modern aesthetic very well. Whenever I brought up concerns, he happily addressed them to meet my needs.

I would definitely work with him again if I have the chance.

Tsering and his crew completely revamped our backyard over three weeks in November 2021. We went from a two-level, hardly useable yard, to a flat stone patio with beautiful landscaping. It was a pleasure working with Tsering on the design and throughout the construction. He was punctual, responsive, and his cost and time estimates were spot-on. Actually, he completed the work a few days earlier than his time estimate. He was great at problem-solving various issues that came up during the construction, such as a drainage pipe issue. We have received many compliments on the renovation and would highly recommend him.

We worked with Tsering and his crew during August 2020 and it was a great experience. We originally did not have a good idea of what was possible but saw pictures on his Yelp page and showed them to him for the rough design concept. He worked with us to come up with a similar design that fit our space and preferred maintenance level.

Tsering was very accommodating and easy to reach during the entire process from concept through construction and even after with plant care tips and additional suggestions. The price was reasonable and he and the crew worked efficiently, about 4 sessions over 3-4 weeks. Overall we're very happy with the results!

Covid considerations - We appreciated that they wore masks while they were working and did not need to come inside the house at all. It was very hygienic and we all kept a safe distance.

We recently had Tsering return to do some maintenance and repair work on the gardens he created for us in 2012/13. It was such a pleasure to reconnect with him and his team. In just a few days he had our outdoor spaces looking like new. He was able to wash and re-stain all the fencing and completely refinish the deck. He added new strengthening pieces to two bamboo enclosures he had built in the original design which look great and compliment the overall appearance. He built and installed a stronger gate to improve security and cleaned and adjusted a water feature which needed attention. As always, he was prompt in providing proposals, estimates and work schedules. We were so happy to have Tsering come back and make our gardens beautiful once again. We admire his vast knowledge, esthetics and remarkable abilities. We absolutely love working with him. We can recommend Shambhala Landscapes without hesitation!
Thank you Tsering.
