Landscaping reviews in Fresno, California

My family just moved into a newly built development in the Clovis/Fresno area. We purchased the premium lot (12,000 sq ft lot) because we had big goals and dreams with our backyard. Pool, patio, pergola, outdoor kitchen, kids play area, space for a 500 sq ft ADU and landscaping. I knew I wanted all these things, but no clue how they would functionally fit and all come together in the space. Here comes Josh. I found Josh online looking for a landscape designer. Called him and he squeezed me in for a free consultation and came to my house. What impressed me most about Josh is during this consultation he asked all the right questions to discover what our family goals were for our backyard. Did he deliver on the design?? Heck YES!! He literally put our vision in a beautiful functional design that fit into our lifestyle and growing family goals. It took a couple renderings but the final design was perfect! Josh is very knowledgeable, professional, but at the same time, one of the realist dudes that really showed genuine interest in our family and plans for our new home. Can’t wait to break ground and thing thing on and cracking! Highly recommended.
And I refereed my neighbor and got a discount on my designs. 👌🏾💪🏾

5 stars just isn't enough.
Josh came highly recommended and I can see why. He is truly an expert in his field who you can tell really enjoys what he does. He approaches every project, budget, and person with the same respect and care. I would and will 1000% recommend him for anyone's project!

I have a new build home and there is nothing but dirt, spiders, and wasps in my back yard. I reached out to Josh to figure out a plan of how I could best utilize my space with some of the things that I wanted back there. Josh was understanding and flexible with setting up a time to meet and he didn’t even mind showing up to work in the heat! We sat down and had a meeting about what kind of space I would like to have. After we talked about it, Josh did measurements and looked around at the area. After that it took him a week and a half to put a plan together for my space that will have a doggy run way, gazebo, turf area and and concrete. Super excited to get started on this project. THANK YOU STANGBY DESIGNS🦾

Josh was very professional and very helpful! His insight and design eye got us exactly what we needed to ensure our project has balance & flow! We would definitely recommend Josh to anyone that is not a visionary design expert like him!

Josh was a very professional person that came to talk to us about our backyard renovation. We spent a good amount of time going over different ideas and concepts for that change we are looking for. He gave us great ideas to think about as well as a good direction to move forward. We have not yet picked a general contractor to do the work as we don't 100% exactly what we want but when we do, Josh will be at the top of that list.

It was a joy working with Josh on our backyard landscape project design. He is excellent at his job and easy to communicate with. Josh understood our vision for our backyard and our budget. He was able to design a backyard that fits our family’s lifestyle and is within our budget. We felt confident in moving forward with our backyard project. We highly recommend Josh!

Josh displayed professionalism, creativity, and a keen eye for detail. He listened to our ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the design, while also offering his expert suggestions. The result is a stunning and functional outdoor space that we absolutely love. We highly recommend Josh for anyone looking to elevate their landscape to the next level. Five stars all the way!

Josh was great to work with. He created the exact design we were hoping for, fast and good communication. Really appreciate his work. Would definitely recommend him for the design/consult services.

Months leading up to us needing backyard landscaping, my husband and I were hoping to find someone who would walk us through a design- as well as make arrangements for the contractors to bring the vision to fruition. For us, this seamless process was almost as important as the design itself. Shortly after signing contract on a new home build, I found Stangby Designs on Instagram. I watched every story and viewed every post and it didn't take me long to realize I needed to work with him. Joshua was immediately very responsive and never made me feel like my project was too small or less important than other jobs that he's worked. Upon meeting him, I could tell right away that he is a genuine guy who is passionate about his work. He took our vision and ran with it, creating a backyard that is perfect for our lifestyle. Even though his role is design, he sticks around to make sure that the job he designed for us is the job we get. Can't wait to see the final result.

I have an amazing experience is using Stangby designs. From the inquiry to meeting for my design. Josh is incredible at was he does. He is personal and professional. In my encounters with my appointments, he is very dedicated and you can feel the amount of love he puts into his craft. He listens to your ideas and also incorporates your personal life to best design your yard. In my case, I have two active children and also love to entertain my family and friends often. With the space he designed, it would cater to that need and divide my yard to multiple hang out areas, giving us more usage of the full yard. 10/10 recommend using Stangby designs!

My wife and I have had an excellent experience working with Stangby Designs. We were really lacking direction and knowledge when it came to figuring out what we wanted for our yard and what would actually be feasible and manageable for us. Josh spent a lot of time listening to our requests, making edits and adjustments, and most importantly, figuring out what would work within our budget. The renderings he provides are a great visual for what’s to come. We would highly recommend his services.

My husband and I had a great experience working with Stangby Designs. Josh was able to deliver on our expectations. Overall, we had an excellent experience and would recommend to others.

Standby Designs is exceptional. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. The designs were beautiful and went beyond our expectations. We were in awe of the creativity and use of space.

Josh was a pleasure to work with and provided exactly what we needed. We had no idea where to start with our design for completely remodeling our front and back yards. Josh walked us through everything and delivered a complete plan that we are so excited about. He was also extremely responsive and great with our toddler while we were going over designs :) Would highly recommend for any project.

Josh was a pleasure to work with. He worked with us to design the backyard of our dreams. Josh was very patient and helpful. We never felt pressured or forced into anything. I highly recommended Josh for your next backyard/front yard design! You won’t be disappointed!!!

If you’re looking for high quality 3D designs. Josh is your guy. Not only will he help you visualize your yard. He’s also very knowledgeable in his field and will guide you through every step of the way to make sure you get the landscape of your dreams. I would Highly recommend Stangby designs

Professional, Experienced, and Charismatic! Would recommend to anyone looking for a landscape designer/manager. Josh is extremely passionate about what he does and is very fun to work with. We had a general idea of what we wanted but Josh took our initial meeting notes and created an amazing digital design. He walked us through the entire design and refined it to match our requests. After we finalized our design he guided us in sifting through multiple quotes to find the best contractor for our project. He instructed the contractor on how to execute the design and has made himself available to answer questions as they pop up. If you’re on the fence about having a professional help with your design I recommend taking the extra step and use Josh with Stangby Designs, you won’t be disappointed.

We are so glad that our landscaping company referred us to Stangby Designs. It was very easy to book an initial appointment with Josh and he was great with communication. When he came for the initial consultation, we first spoke about what our vision for our yards was and then we did a detailed walkthrough with him. He was very thorough, professional and didn't try to push any irrelevant ideas onto us either. He gave honest advice and we could tell he had the best intentions for our project to be successful. He was able to come up with a design plan and video rendering in less than a month. It was so exciting seeing our vision come to visualization. We did have one last revision meeting, where some minor details were polished up but overall we were very happy with the result. I highly recommend this design company due to his professionalism, honesty and customer service. Thank you very much and looking forward to seeing the design come to life soon!

Josh was fantastic to work with. Extremely professional and enthusiastic about his work. He was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. He is very creative and good at turning your concepts/ideas into a reality. We could not have asked for a better designer. I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely be working with him for any future landscaping projects. Thank you for your incredible work Josh!

God bless!

Worked with him on a design/ plans for a Medium/smallish backyard for a new build. He is super easy to work with, very responsive with his communication. Helped me find a builder. His communication and Timeliness Was appreciated.

From the moment Josh with Stangby Designs walked through our door, we knew we were in good hands. He took our general ideas and put together a detailed design that incorporated everything we wanted, and more! His approach was customized to our specific wants and he had no issues making updates throughout the process. He made great suggestions and brought our backyard dreams to life. He was great about keeping our budget in mind and adding in all of our picky wants. Josh really listened to us and then applied his wealth of knowledge and experience to create a cohesive and beautiful design. The design service and experience is top notch. He has even connected us with a contractor to complete the job and is working with him throughout the next steps. Couldn’t have had a better experience, we highly recommend Stangby Designs for all of your landscaping design needs. No ask is too big or small, he can really do it all!
