Landscape Architect reviews in San Diego, California

Marty is an incredible landscape architect and artist. My wife and I hired Marty to landscape our home on Mt. Soledad. There were several challenging aspects of the project including the fact that our home backed up on a canyon and we wanted someone with expertise working with canyons, retaining walls and drainage. His designs were masterful. He matched the curve of our existing swimming pool in designing the stairs down to the pool and related retaining walls. His artistic use of plants and incorporation of water features and outdoor fireplace beautifully framed and enhanced the views. His use of plant color contrasted beautifully against our midcentury modern home. He also introduced us to many other skilled professionals that executed his designs beautifully and all within budget. We highly recommend Marty for any job no matter the complexity or size. It is an investment in the value of your home.

Marty is extremely knowledgeable and his pleasant, easy manner works well in a co-operative environment with designers, architects and contractors some of whom can have prickly egos. Marty was our landscape designer on our large project during a period where we suffered from a couple of "Prima Donnas". It is to his credit that we are highly satisfied with the results. Marty was responsive to our wishes and constraints and my wife and I recommend him unreservedly.

Marty is a skilled landscape architect and the design options he provided for my home were thoughtful and cost-conscious. He also introduced us to other industry contacts who have been valuable as our landscape has evolved over the years. I highly recommend Marty for any landscape-related projects.

Marty is a true artist and is amazing at what he does. We went to Stone in Escondido and could not believe how amazing the landscape is in and throughout the restaurant. We had to find out who designed this masterpiece. Marty.
We hired him to design our new remodel / in Point Loma and he brought a creative and beautiful design that our family will enjoy for years. Spend a little extra money and hire the best. You will be glad you did.

We had the pleasure of working with Marty and his team at Environs to renovate the existing landscaping for a commercial property in Carlsbad. Our company has worked with other landscape architects; however, we found Environs to be more creative and attentive to details. Environs is also very hands on and oversees the installation with great care and passion. They are also quick to respond to any questions or concerns. It has been a real delight to have worked with Environs and look forward to other projects.

We have been developing commercial projects and landscapes for approximately 35 years and over 5 million square feet. I am a botanical collector and have worked with many landscape architects through the years. We just recently completed a project called Summit Pointe wherein we worked with Martin Schmidt and his team at Environs and created a botanical garden. Marty created a fantastic plan in collaboration with the building architect and owner including new hardscape integrated with the existing hardscape as well as Zen rake gardens, an exterior kitchen and bar, amphitheater, cross fit center and a fantastic palette of exotic plants. He was very active in every aspect of this custom atypical commercial landscape and a real pleasure to deal with. I was so pleased with the experience that I recommended him to the owners association to redo the landscape theme throughout the business park and we have just commenced this exciting project. I thoroughly recommend Marty and his team at Environs!

Environs was recommended to me by our Project Architect, Reyes Studio. Our Property in Alpine was 7 acres of undeveloped sloping hillside. Our Vision was for a Tuscan Hillside Villa that would take in all the long distance views. This is where Marty from Environs became a key team player in coordinating the grading, drainage, walls and landscape. Without Marty's help the project would never have turned out to our liking. I would recommend Marty for any landscape project.

Marty and team were critically helpful in design, permitting, and installation of our desires for a quiet, shady back yard for our San Diego property. We brought him a list of plants we wanted to use, an incredible list of false charges of land use violations, and we lived out of town.
He used our plant list, enhanced with suggestions from his knowledge of plants we'd never heard of, to create a plan we liked, and like more every day. His contacts in the industry got us a top-notch crew to install the garden (over two hundred trees on nearly two acres), and he was personally involved with the city and other government employees who use their administrative positions to abuse law-abiding property owners.
Without his help, we'd have never been able to do it.

Eternal Turf and Pavers put rocks and turf at my rental property and did an amazing job. They were communicative and professional throughout the process. Alon called me to keep me updated and contacted me after the project was done to make sure I was satisfied with the work. My front yard looks beautiful and serene. I can't wait to refer Eternal Turf and Pavers to my friends.

Great boss and workers! They did the amazing job on my yard. They finished the job in 3 days! You will not regret to pick this company for your project!

Eternal Turf was amazing! They listened to our wishes, were prompt, punctual and polite. Our yard is beautiful and we get many compliments.

After multiple consultations on the design of our backyard, the value that Alon and Eternal Turf brought to our project really helped make our decision easy. Alon was able to give us the perfect ideas to make our dream backyard a reality. On top of that, the quote we got for the project was very competitive and we decided that the value Alon brought to our project with his vision and quick turn around would make all the difference. The crew were fantastic and worked with our vision of what we had in mind. My family now has a beautiful and functional yard to play, relax, and entertain in and we are very grateful to Alon and the hard work of his crew.

Alon and his team are very professional and very thorough . Workers are polite and most of all accommodating . Highly recommended.

Alon and his team transformed our property overnight. With his help we quickly went from a dusty difficult to maintain dry desert landscaped front and back lawn to a lush green faux grass, with gray paver walkway, bordered by river rocks- which has endured for over a year with zero maintenance. it continues to look fantastic and delivers a wonderful quality of living for our family and pets to enjoy. He is a kind, thoughtful and creative professional with a charisma and charm that made our renovation a delightful experience.

A landscape company that does what they say in the time they quote. They could have finished in a week as he quoted if it were not for me delaying the project to procure trees. Matched or beat other contractors price but with better materials and added a nice little putting green as a bonus. Overall great experience.

Had the pleasure of hiring this hardworking and diligent team to completely overhaul our backyard. Alon and his team of highly skilled workers designed, excavated, and built my backyard in a thorough and professional manner. The yard looks so amazing now and it’s perfectly manicured and safe for my daughter to play and enjoy. The work was done so well and on one of the hottest days of the year I might add. Highly recommend their services!!!

My wife and I were looking to upgrade our front lawn and spoke with several contractors, including Eternal Turf and Pavers. From the beginning, the owner, Alon, stood out. He clearly explained the process and offered insightful advice on a few important details we hadn’t even thought to ask about. His knowledge and genuine care for the customer gave us confidence, and we decided to move forward with his company.

On installation day, Alon arrived with four of his team members. He gave them clear and precise instructions, personally ensuring everything was done correctly. They started around 7:00 a.m. and completed the entire project by 3:30 p.m., leaving the area spotless.

When we stepped outside to see the finished lawn, we were truly impressed, there was nothing we needed to change or correct. It was at that moment I knew we had made the right choice.

Later, Alon returned to check in and asked if there was anything we needed him to address. But everything had already been done to perfection. The team delivered exactly what was promised, with professionalism and care.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Alon and Eternal Turf and Pavers to anyone considering a yard project. They exceeded our expectations in every way.

I really liked working with Alon & his crew. Then install me new artificial turf look amazing They were professional and skilled. I will refer Eternal Turf & Pavers to my friends.

Eternal Turf changed our yard for the better! Alon offered fantastic customer service, quick quotes/responses and great advice on how to save. His installers were on time, knowledgable and they completed the job in one day. I cant say enough good things about this service. Would 100% recommend!

Absolutely pleased with their work. They installed turf on my front yard as well as drainage all throughout. They got everything done in a single day and the final result was impeccable. Highly recommend these guys if you’re trying to who to go with for your yardscaping.

Eternal Turf and Pavers turned my ugly front yard into a beautiful and much talked about by my neighbors. Alon was very hands on and made every request I had happen and added great suggestions. I highly recommend Eternal Turf and Pavers for your home exterior improvement needs.
