“Great Experience with OC West”
I recently worked on a project with OC West and was very impressed. The team did an excellent job with the landscape design and hardscaping. The work was high-quality, completed on time, and communication was seamless throughout.
If you’re looking for reliable, professional work, I highly recommend OC West.

OC West did an amazing job with our landscape project which entailed demolition and a complete overhaul of the backyard. Alex helped us redesign the yard to accommodate a new pool and spa, added a bbq island, installed new flooring, plotted a new garden layout to increase privacy, incorporated vegetable gardens, installed a complete irrigation system and laid out a comprehensive landscape lighting scheme. Alex managed the timeline of activities very well and we found him to be very professional and easy to work with. He is a good listener and has a kind heart. His team is highly skilled, hardworking, and reliable. We highly recommend OC West. It was a pleasure to work with the entire team.

We had a terrific experience with Alex for our front and backyard. Is a very designed minded contractor who provided fantastic ideas on top of our existing design plans. We really enjoyed talking to him and he always took the time to discuss both hardscaping and spoftscaping choices. He even helped us redesign our front yard to be the envy of our street. Build wise, he addressed issues as they came up during the build phase and even addressed issues we faced well after completion. He is detail oriented and we've been recommending him to all of our friends.

I’m very happy with the work from OC West. Alex was great to work with, excellent communication and collaboration on the design. He was always available to answer questions or address any concerns or issues. Everything came out great! Love our new backyard.

Alex was amazing to work with. I chose him because from the very first time we met, I had a vision in my head of what I thought I wanted. Alex was kind and thoughtful, but also gently pushed back on some of my ideas and offered alternatives I hadn’t even considered.

I appreciated that. It made me realize I didn’t just want someone who said yes—I wanted a partner to help me create something even better. And that’s exactly what I got.

He always listened intently, made me feel like his top priority, and never rushed our conversations. He was a great sounding board for every decision as we moved through the project. I’d highly recommend Alex and his team—they’re creative, collaborative, and a total pleasure to work with.

And I got the backyard of my dreams.

We had a great experience with Alex at OC West during our backyard renovation this spring. The finished backyard is beautiful and we're so happy with the layout and features he suggested; it has changed the way our family interacts and lives in our house. Alex is great with design suggestions and also worked easily with us when we decided to go in our own direction. He made the process very smooth and straightforward because of all of his experience. He is also very transparent about costs and options. The employees who were at our house every day working on the project were very talented, friendly and respectful. We would definitely hire the entire team again.

Really great experience to work with Alex. His team are the best in their respective crafts and the backyard is exactly the way we hoped it would turn out. He was wonderful about handholding us through the process of choosing material and design. Alex was in high demand and had multiple projects running concurrently. No matter how busy he was, he ALWAYS found time to answer any questions we had during the project. We always felt important to him. I’m happy we chose his firm to work with and would recommend to any of my close friends and neighbors.

These guys have innovative ideas that completely updated our backyard. We are really happy with the way everything turned out. Coleman and Jonathan did a great job of letting us know the timeline and the crew was on site everyday until the job was done.

The layout and flow of the space turned out perfect for entertaining. Now we celebrate all of our family events in our backyard under the patio. Thank you Bryan, Coleman & Allan.

Professional and easy to work with from concept to final design. We had a really large project that involved remodeling a pool, decking, patio structure, artificial grass and softscapes.

Allan (the designer) helped us choose the right plants and materials for long lasting results. Allan is a horticulturalist with an encyclopedia for a brain. It made our trip to the nursery fun and full of useful information.

Great attention to detail and thoughtful planning throughout the project. Coleman is a great communicator and always goes above and beyond to make sure things are done correctly.

The design made our outdoor living area both functional and visually stunning. Working with the Simple Outdoor Living Team was a great experience. Highly recommended.

Very creative designers! Bryan and Allan transformed our outdoor space into a beautiful work of art. We are really happy with the results.

Excellent landscape design done by Allan with a perfect balance of hardscape and softscape elements. There is no way we could have come up this this nice of a design on our own. The construction crew was courteous and professional. I would definitely work with them again.

I worked with Bryan and Allen to get a quote and preliminary design for my backyard remodel renovation. The project is a pretty big undertaking, but Bryan was extremely patient with all of my questions and really helped me prioritize the areas I was looking to improve. He has great suggestions to help save cost while still improving appearances, and his responsiveness was the best among everyone I spoke with. I would highly recommend Simple Outdoor Living as they are very professional.
