Seeking referral for landscaping company
Hi all, we hired a designer to help us remodel our backyard which has been a neglected mess for far too many years! Now we are looking for contractors/landscaping companies to bid on the building of the project. It would involve demoing some concrete, removing grass, redoing irrigation, planting, moving a shed, and removing a tree.
Any recommendations for a great landscaping company with experience would be so appreciated. I looked at Yelp and got overwhelmed by the massive number of companies out there :P

We've used Planted Earth (https://plantedearthdesign.com/) for several large yard renovations. They're fantastic. Michael, the owner, knows everything, and has a wonderful crew working for him.
They're not cheap, but they're worth every euro.

HIGHLY recommend Intuitive Landscaping and Construction: https://www.yelp.com/biz/intuitive-landscape-and-construction-oakland-3?hrid=3r_92itfBW-Y15obo4r58w&utm_campaign=uno&utm_medium=inapp&utm_source=new_review_view
We just worked with them on our backyard and couldn't be happier with the outcome but also they're just the best people.
I most highly recommend Jose Martinez who owns Stela Landscaping. https://stelalandscaping.com/ Jose works together with Hugo Larman, a landscape architect larmangarro.com Look it up under Images on google. Jose and his workers did a fantastic job for us and were really terrific. I encourage you to at least get an estimate from him. He worked for us exactly one year ago.
good luck!
I just did a project with sustain with me landscapes and I'm super happy with the result. They helped us figure out what to do about our yard and did all of the install and will do some nice maintenance. Amelia, the owner was super responsive and helped us land on something that was within our budget and looks amazing. https://sustainwithme.com/
I recommend Verge Landscapes who did my front and side yard project last summer. It is growing in so beautifully and Jean was a true pleasure to work with. https://www.vergelandscapes.com Have fun! Alison
