Landscaping reviews in Irvine, California

We had a great experience with Simple Outdoor Living, who designed and remodelled our entire backyard. Their staff are responsive and conscientious. We are very pleased with the result and would highly recommend their services.

Simple Outdoor Living has made the process of creating an amazing outdoor living area very simple and stress free! The 3D designs helped us SEE what the final product would look like, huge plus! Bryan and his team definitely knows how to get the job done. I would highly recommend Simple Outdoor Living to anyone!

It is so important to make the right decision when deciding on home renovations, landscaping and design. There are many companies that offer help and design services and we wanted to make sure to choose a reputable designer for outdoor landscaping. Because of an informative website and great reviews, I reached out to Simple Outdoor Living and spoke with Bryan, the business owner. On top of wonderful customer service, Bryan took his time with us at a consultation and provided us with landscaping ideas which was then provided as a customized 3D and 2D design. The designs are so valuable in that you can visualize your plan as well as have professional measurements for future contactors. We recommend Simple Outdoor Living to those who are searching for a reputable company with great customer service.

I have created several outdoor living spaces in the last twenty years. This experience with SOL has been such a pleasure! Bryan and the staff are so wonderful to work with. They listen to your desires and concerns and and have great ideas they can incorporate into your yard design. The 3D designs are amazing and make the decision process so much easier. And finally, the beautiful showroom highlights many different hardscape materials and architectural styles. I can't wait to see my finished project!

We are thrilled with the work that SOL completed on our property. In comparison with other contractors we’ve worked with, the SOL team was in a class of its own. Communicative, professional, respectful, responsive to our feedback, genuine, timely, appear to operate with integrity, and the work itself appears to be well executed. Would highly recommend them to anyone else looking to tackle a landscaping project from inception to completion.

Simple Outdoor Living creates a 3-D visual that allows one to see a realistic design of their yard space. At our first on site meeting, Chad took our ideas and explained how they would fit best in our space. He flew a drone over our backyard which allowed the design team to incorporate even minor details that were significant to our family! Next, we shared great insight from Bryan and the rest of the design team. They were able to make adjustments on the spot to meet our needs in regards to entertaining, aesthetics, and sustainability. We highly recommend Simple Outdoor Living for a unique custom design for your yard or business. It is so much fun to receive the completed project!

Simple Outdoor Living has been a pleasure to work with … professional, thoughtful, and invested partners in our project. Coleman was terrific as our project lead, and ensured that quality work was done, on time. We’re thrilled with the results in our backyard, and intend to continue to work with SOL in the future. We’d highly recommend the SOL construction team.

Coleman, Project Manager, was committed from day one and his crew were exceptional. I have dealt with other construction businesses and have been extremely disappointed. Simple Outdoor Living went beyond to complete my very large project. I had major landscape/hardscape work accomplished. In spite of rain issues and City compliance issues, the job was completed close to estimated time of completion. Coleman dealt with the City to comply with their regulations and kept me well informed. From Design (which was exceptional) to completion was an exceptional experience. I feel comfortable in the ability to contact them if I have any problems with the job in the future.

We’ve been doing a lot of work on our house and was looking for someone to work with for our front and backyard landscaping. We’ve worked with multiple project managers in the past year and I can say that Coleman was truly amazing to work with. He was on top of everything, anticipated needs, and managed the work from beginning to end efficiently. They stuck to timelines and worked with us to stay within our budget. the crew always left our backyard clean! I truly believe Coleman and his team went above and beyond to make us happy and to meet our needs. I would highly recommend simple outdoor living for any landscaping needs.

Bryan made some great designs for both the front and back yards.
Jonathan was extremely patient with me. Got things done in a timely fashion.
Coleman was also very helpful.
The guys that did all the work, worked very, very hard.

Simple Outdoor Living remodeled my front yard and patio. Bryan and his team did a superb job. Excellent communication and supervision from his project managers. Top quality workmanship. I am delighted with the finished project.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Simple Outdoor Living Landscaping, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation with Bryan and Allan to the final walk-through with Coleman and Jonathan, their team was professional, attentive, and skilled.

They took the time to understand my vision and offered creative suggestions that enhanced the design of my outdoor space. As with most projects, there were a couple small hiccups during the installation process, however, the team handled it professionally and efficiently. Coleman went above and beyond to ensure that the process was as seamless as possible. They left the area spotless after completing the work.

Now, my backyard feels like a personal oasis with its beautiful pavers, greenery that we personally chose, a beautiful fountain, striking boulders and perfectly placed lighting. We are so excited to share the space with family and friends!

If you’re looking for a landscaping company that combines expertise, creativity, and excellent customer service, I highly recommend Simple Outdoor Living Landscaping. They truly exceeded my expectations!”

I am going through home remodeling right now. I needed an advice on the existing landscape plan so I reached out to Bryan at Simple Outdoor Living and he was very honest and diligent about how he can help! Bryan took time out of his busy schedule and consulted with me over the phone and via zoom. He gave his expert advice and gave a few pointers without charging a penny or signing any contract.

It's hard to find people like Bryan who would go out his way to help others. I highly recommend them for any landscaping/irrigation design needs.

I really appreciate your time and consideration. I will be sure to recommend you to my friends and family with any landscaping design needs.

Have been so very pleased from start to finish on our front and backyard landscaping.
Bryan and Allan helped is in designing a great set of plans. The 3D renderings were very helpful. They were so patient with changes and suggestions as we finalized the design of the plans.
Construction began on time and was completed right on schedule. Our onsite foreman Coleman kept things moving along according to plan and was easy to work with on an almost daily basis. Very hard working and skilled crew and easy to have around. Cleaned up job site upon leaving each and every day.
We are so pleased with the completed project and have been in touch with them for questions, adjustments and a few plant replacements afterwards.
This was a project long overdue and so glad we finally jumped in with Simple Outdoor Living!

I am very pleased to have worked with Bryan and Coleman for my landscaping needs. They promptly provided design assistance and suggested a variety of materials. The statement of work was clear and concise. All work was started and completed ahead of schedule and the final result exceeded my expectations. Project manager Coleman was excellent at overseeing the work and provided regular updates regarding work schedule and material availability. He was also always available for questions and comments. All in all, it was a pleasure working with Simple Outdoor Living and I would recommend them to anyone looking to update their outdoor living space.

Bryan and Coleman at Simple Outdoor Living were the best to work with. After having just completed a home renovation with a contractor that was very difficult to work with, it was so nice to have the yard renovation go so smooth. They were on top of the schedule, the budget, and were always updating regularly along the way. I never felt like I was out of the loop on the work that was being done and we always knew when people would be showing up. The work itself was amazing and they did top quality work. We are so happy with our new backyard and will be calling them again when we want to tackle the front yard. Thank you guys for a great experience!

Simple Outdoor Living was great to work with. They listened well to my needs and created a design that met my functional needs while increasing the aesthetic appeal of our backyard. Construction was efficient and on time and the team went above and beyond to ensure that the finals details were right and in place before the holiday season. We would highly recommend!

It was as a pleasure working with Bryan and his team at Simple Outdoor living. Bryan is talented and very knowledgeable in design and landscaping. I am enjoying my backyard paradise!

If I could leave 10 stars instead of 5 I would. This was a wonderful company to deal with. I have a small back patio that needed some work. Bryan came out to the house and after input from me and his great suggestions, Allan then drew up plans that could be easily submitted to my HOA for approval. Following that, I worked very closely with Coleman and his team with construction that involved pavers, raised planters with stone veneer, and wall caps (also great for additional seating). At the end of each day the workers would clean up the mess on the patio, as well as the street in front of the house. Always considerate of my neighbors, too. The work (hardscape and plants and trees) was of high quality. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

We recently had to completely redo our landscape after our fire insurance was dropped, and we hired Simple Outdoor Living based on their online reviews. Our project involved a full makeover of the front yard, including hardscape, softscape, lighting, and a sprinkler system.

From the very beginning, Bryan impressed us with his professionalism. He created a 3D rendering of the design and patiently worked through multiple revisions until we were completely satisfied. He provided a reasonable quote and stuck to the timeline, which we greatly appreciated.

Coleman, the project manager, was equally impressive. He was professional, skilled, and incredibly patient. He accommodated all our requests, even last-minute additions and changes, with a positive attitude.

Thanks to the hard work of this team, we now have a stunning landscape that we absolutely love. Our experience with Simple Outdoor Living was outstanding, and we would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and talented landscaping team.

To start with, Bryan the owner of Simple Outdoor Living showed up on time to our estimate appointment. After the estimate he gave us a timeframe that his crew would be available to get the work done, and it was done even a little bit sooner. The crew showed up on time, did great work, very professional, were always very nice, and cleaned up at the end of the job daily.

These guys were excellent to work with! Their hardscape and landscape designs were wonderful. They listened to what we were looking for and provided a layout of the project.

The Project Manager, Coleman was amazing and communication was on point. He went out if his way to ensure everything was going as planned and working correctly or even an extra trip to make sure lighting was aimed at the trees just right. We didn’t make many changes to the plan, but we did add a few things as the project transformed and Coleman incorporated last minute requests without blinking an eye and had great suggestions along the way if something needed tweaking as things came up.

We couldn't be happier with our finished project by Simple Outdoor Living.

I would recommend Simple Outdoor Living without hesitation and will be contacting them for future projects.
