Terra Gardens revamped our entire backyard. We are located on a hill with with a yard that was hardly usable before their transformation. From the beginning, Adam and his team were completely professional and responsive. We talked with several companies and received a couple of bids and found Terra Gardens to be the most professional. They had a project coordinator, designer, and full crew. They are a full service, one-stop shop that work with you every step of the way. We had phone calls to discuss our vision and budget. Thereafter they came out to look at the space, then they came up with rough ideas, and provided us with a very detailed bid. We knew that they were honest and transparent based on the level of detail provided. They worked with us to cut costs or reallocate our budget. After we moved forward, the designer, Michelle came up with a beautiful plan that captured our vision. Once the crew started, they were highly diligent, professional, and responsive. The team paid attention to detail and event went above and beyond the plans to make our yard look beautiful, for instance, adding some extra wood work on retaining walls. Our project was not easy because most of the digging and leveling had to be done by hand given our tight access on a hill. A year later, we've had questions pop up and they remain caring and responsive. Adam has even stopped by to help us figure out how work our drip system. We highly recommend Terra Gardens for your next landscaping project!

Wow, what an incredible job. We recently purchased our home and envisioned a landscape that could compliment our home renovations, and the team at Terra knocked it out of the park. We had some ideas about what we wanted the yard to feel like and how we wanted to use it, and Terra not only helped up dial in the practical implementation, but saw things we definitely would not have and designed the space to make sure they were accounted for organically in the design and build (DRAINAGE, wow, we are blown away right now).
We thought we knew what we wanted and just wanted someone to build, but Terra are experts in a way that deserves a mention. Michelle developed a incredible plan and was fantastic to talk to throughout the entire process (plant palate, landscape plan that was clear and completely transformed how we looked at the build) and Adam's team made install so easy. It felt seamless, and exceptionally deluxe to be taken care of like that (especially compared with our home renovations).
Their attention to detail is outstanding - you get what you pay for. With how much time we've spent in the yard, it is incredible to watch the space grow and flourish. Thank you Terra!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kate M.San Francisco, CA1391513Nov 28, 2020
Terra Gardens TRANSFORMED our backyard. When we moved in, it was completely overgrown with weeds, dead trees and large stone structures. We barely spent any time out there. Now it feels like a beautiful oasis and an outdoor extension of our small home. We spend time out there ever chance we can get. It was an investment, but well worth the money as it increased the enjoyment of our home tenfold. Especially important during covid, as we spend so much time at home and it has given us a space to visit with friends outdoors.
We enjoyed working with Adam and his team from start to finish. They were friendly, professional, and finished the project on time. Michelle came up with two beautiful designs and helped us hone in on the one we chose, then Adam helped us make some adjustments to stay within our budget. Ben and his team did a great job with the installation and they were very considerate of our neighbors. The entire process was seamless and fun.
Bottom Line: I HIGHLY recommend Terra Gardens for their professionalism, creativity and the quality of their work. We couldn't be happier with the finished product.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Tessa M.Oakland, CA04Oct 1, 2021
We utilized Terra Gardens for our backyard reno in January/February 2020 and had an absolutely amazing experience! Adam and his team are great to work with - every single one of them is easy to communicate with, knowledgeable, and friendly.
Our yard was a complete blank slate - the house had been flipped and was a sea of red bark with a few misplaced trees and a lot of debris. To make things more challenging, the whole lot is on a large slope, and our budget was minimal for such a large space. Adam and Michelle came up with an amazing plan that created a yard beyond our expectations. They helped us play around with different options to allow us to prioritize what was most important in our vision.
All of the work was done in 2 weeks - it was magical to see the whole thing come together in such a short time window. Looking at it now, only 7 months after the work was completed, our yard looks amazing. Things really grew in quickly!
We get so many compliments on the space, people can't believe what it looked like before! I can't recommend Terra Gardens enough!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
