Landscaping reviews in Berkeley, California

Nathan has designed hardscape for us over a 15 year span. He has an artists eye. He has also done plantings in various areas of our very difficult parcel. He is expensive but totally worth it.

We had a wonderful experience with Green Gallery Landscaping from beginning to end. The crew was very respectful and hardworking. Our project turned out better than we could have imagined. I would highly recommend Green Gallery Landscaping.

We worked with Green Gallery Landscaping first in 2019 to do a total design for our front and backyard. We had them do the construction of the backyard first with contemporary concrete steel work, plantings, lighting, outdoor arbor and hot tub installation.
We were completely satisfied with all aspects of the project, customer service etc. After saving some money we contracted them to do the front yard of our house in Montclair with more masonry work, plantings, lighting etc. Again Green Gallery did not disappoint. We have gotten countless compliments and couldn’t be happier.

We hired Green Gallery to complete our front yard project that included planting, irrigation, mulching, fencing and new sod. We are so happy with the end result. The crew was amazing and Nat was great to work with!

I reached out to Green Gallery to redo my Grandmother's yard after admiring some of the work they had done in her neighborhood. Nate was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He listened to my grandmother's vision and made it come to life. He kept it classic while adding some modern touches that would make care and upkeep more manageable and sustainable for her. His team was hard working, efficient,and paid attention to detail.

We have used Nathan Parsley's Green Gallery for 2 major projects: 1) an extensive, lovely backyard remodel that included a center paved stone patio, three redwood raised boxes, and other structural features such planting a pittosporum privacy boarder. Just as important were the plants he used -- especially a matuel Maple tree. Everything fit perfection in our relatively small backyard area, and 2) a few months ago, Nathan completed our front yard, turning an dried-out ugly lawn into a combination of appropriate grasses and ground cover for low water maintenance. Again great choice of plants and superb work done -- this time in one day. He also knows irrigation! We cannot recommend Green Gallery enough. Quality work every time.

We hired Green Gallery, along with landscape designer Julie Calandra to do a major deck and landscape project. They did a phenomenal job.

Nat Feeley from Green Gallery worked closely with the designer to make sure the execution was close to the design. The crew was amazing. They did top notch work - the craftsman ship on the decks and gates were superb.

Every day people pass our yard asking who did the project! Couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you Nat and Julie and the Green Gallery crew.

Nat and Nathan did a phenomenal job with our project. We replaced our back decking and awning structure and overhauled our small-but-mighty front yard garden spaces. Nat and Nathan were responsive and easy to work with, answering all of our questions and taking our ideas and making them possible. I'd highly recommend working with them for all landscaping efforts!

I have used Green Gallery many times for various projects. Nathaniel has incredible design sense and aesthetic and always gives excellent advice. He has consulted with me several times over the years at the different houses I’ve lived in and consistently given great recommendations on plants, hard scale, cost, upkeep. He really know what he is doing! His crew is very hardworking and do an excellent job, always leaving everything meticulously clean. I will definitely use them again in my next house!

I can't say enough good things about Nathan and his crew. They came in to fix some the work of a previous landscaper that my wife and I were disappointed with. Nathan worked with us to find easy and beautiful fixes which were completed on time and at budget. My wife and I wish we'd hired Green Gallery from the beginning, but are glad, at the least, that we got to this crew eventually.

Quality experience with Mathew and Farallon. Gave really good advice on how we can gain some quick privacy from our neighbors, fast install, and they cleaned up when they were done! Who could ask for more? Also, replaced on plant that mysteriously withered after a couple weeks with another that has been thriving since.

I have worked with Matt for going on ten years now. He initially designed my front yard literally transforming the space into an area that I relish each day I come home. Since then I have worked with Matt in redesigning other areas around the house, all with the same stunning transformation. I believe that Matt has the ability visualize design possibilities that others simply can not. Plus, he returns calls promptly and is always attentive to my concerns. Thanks Matt.

Absolutely love Farallon Gardens. They reimagined my property and were so creative in doing so! Mathew is so easy to work with and listens to your concerns and questions. They are a pleasure to work with.

I selected Farallon Gardens for a complete makeover of my front yard and was not disappointed. The service included; removing the astroturf, restructuring the irrigation system, selecting plants that were underutilized and suitable for my yard, adding a fantastic hardscape of steps and a trail, and selecting a suitable mulch covering to soften up the compacted gravel. The completed yard project is one that I believe will last me a very long time.

Mathew and Farallon Gardens do amazing work, and completely transformed our front yard with low-water landscaping. We've gotten many compliments on the plant selection and landscape design, and we'd definitely recommend Farallon for future projects!

We've had the good fortune of working with Mat on our new garden for coming up on a year now and we have been so impressed! He has the perfect combination of horticultural expertise, creative talent and a passion for working with plants. We trust him implicitly with both our garden and our budget. Mat is a pleasure to work with and we always know that he has our best interests at heart. He is a treasure!

Mathew and his team worked on our front yard and took it from a dirt slope that was previously filled with ivy and juniper into a lovely front yard with native plants and japanese maples. They were timely, respectful of our budget and did an amazing job, we continue to get compliments on our yard on an almost weekly basis and its been over two years! I would highly recommend Farallon Gardens.

Working with Mathew at Farallon Gardens was amazing. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he really listens to what you want. Then he makes suggestions building upon your preferences. People stop and admire our front garden all the time. And it just makes my day every time I walk up the pathway to our front door. I would highly recommend Mathew.

Mathew was wonderful to work with. He took out the old and put in the new, and worked around the established which was in good shape - into a garden that I now love. The new look is exactly what I hoped for. He was responsive and professional from start to finish. And he provides maintenance which I think is important so he can follow through on any adjustments that may be needed, altho at this point, I don't see a thing I would change and the plants are developing well. I feel so fortunate to have found him.

I would give Mat and his crew 6+ stars if I could! Over the last few months he has transformed our large street plus terraced gardens into a gorgeous, dramatic, and lush succulent-rich garden that is nonetheless colorful and creative. First he repaired and upgraded our irrigation system that previous gardeners had poorly installed, and he was mindful of only charging us for work that truly needed to be done. Similarly, he redesigned our gardens with an eye to saving us money by relocating plants whenever it was viable, and was masterfully able to incorporate many existing plants with his new beauties. We collaborated closely on our visions and aesthetic goals, and this has continued as Mat keeps a watchful eye on how our gardens thrive. He stands behind his beautiful work both financially and aesthetically, allowing me to relax and not worry about how the plants are doing. THIS is a wonderful, needed change that’s worth so much to me! Thanks Mat for your artistry and expertise.

Mathew is an amazing landscape designer. I marvel every day at the two gardens he created for us. He totally understood my predilections, and found plants which capture all the structure and color I had in mind. Year round there is always something in bloom. He and Daniel also maintain the gardens beautifully for us. We use very little water and almost everything has lived and thrived. A terrific company!
