James and his crew did a fantastic job designing and installing my backyard 2 years ago. I knew when it was time to do my front yard this year, I wanted James to do that as well. He listened to my ideas (make my yard look like Ohio in the Fall), good drainage, drought tolerant plants, attract hummingbirds, while sticking with my color selection, installing a split rail fence, I love my yard! I have had neighbors I don't know, from a block away, stop when driving by and I'm in my yard, and tell me how great it looks and they enjoyed watching the progress. His crew showed up when they said they would and each day of work, they cleaned up so the driveway was spotless. If I had another yard, I'd hire Earthwise Industries in a second! Even though the work is completed, as I've had questions come up about plant care, I reach out to James and he is quick to respond with instructions on what to do. I'm thrilled that a friend suggested I hire James a couple years ago, and I'm happy to always share my positive experience and results with others in hope that they do the same.

James and his crew did a fantastic job on our front yard landscape project. We had 1000+ sqft that had been terrorized by gophers, dead grass, and had no irrigation to speak of. He came in, listened to our needs and came up with a great layout full of native, drought-tolerant plants, hardscape, and fruit trees. He and his crew were always on time, finished the project quickly, and cleaned up as they worked. James was attentive and always eager to answer any questions or share his expertise on the plants, etc. We were blown away by the results and already have received several compliments from neighbors that we have the best front yard on the block. I highly recommend booking James for your next landscaping project.

Working with James was a pleasure from the beginning. He listened to my ideas, showed up when he said he would, finished faster than he said he would, and did a fantastic job. I have written very few reviews in many years of hiring contractors, but I was motivated this time because he was exceptional in most every way. It has now been a month since the job was completed and we are still thrilled with work. He did both the front and back yards including dirt, sprinklers, plants and lawn. All of his workers were also pleasant and responsive. I highly recommend him and his company to anyone.

The team is exceptional! James is communicative and thorough. He's knowledgable about so much - demolition, hardscaping, lawns, trees, plant species, drainage. He cares about growing food, capturing rainwater, and planting pollinator-friendly plants. It's great to work with someone that's passionate about what's important in landscaping! His team is great, too. Very respectful, punctual, thorough, and efficient.

We love our xeriscaped front/side yards...so beautiful! And, so perfect for the times (California's drought). James and his team were expert at their craft. They were timely, finishing the project early. They were courteous and informative and quite knowledgeable regarding the plants, trees and shrubs included in the project. I would recommend Earthwise Industries to family, friends, and neighbors.

I could not be more satisfied with the result and with working with Earthwise Industries. James is very attuned to what the customer wants and he and his crew did an awesome job. They showed up when expected, and cleaned up very well at the end of the day. The choice of plants are lovely and make me so happy to look out the window everyday!! I very highly recommend James and his crew to anyone who is serious about landscape on their property.

I had a fantastic experience with Earthwise. They designed and created a beautiful landscape for our front yard on time and within budget. The employees are all very professional and James the owner was amazing to work with! I HIGHLY recommend their services!

After a year of having what is supposed to be a somewhat maintenance-free landscape. I have been needing to fight grass and weeds more than ever. I thought the DG would have been set and the accelerator harden the DG and the Rock would have meshed under to control weeds. After a recommendation from James not to place the mesh under DG and Rock proved to be a huge mistake. At this point we are so frustrated we are thinking of redoing or adding to the DG . My front yard has DG which was completed by another company. Has been maintenance-free. And I have no issues. I contacted James and we spoke about my displeasure with the amount of upkeep I still have to do. He mentioned he will try to come to take a look. But never came out. Nice guy but would not recommend

Very Knowledgable about every aspect of landscaping, lighting, design, organic gardening, best use of land, irrigation improvement and running cost reduction. Smart plant selection and variety, and offered a myriad of great suggestions for practical but pleasing design. No waste and use of exising plants and lanscaping were effectively and beautifully repurposed where possible. James and his team work hard and diligently, the end results achieving great value for money. Excellent variety of crew members with different talents, all of whom work well individuallly and as part of the team. James is honorable, totally trustworthy and extremely personable, who will only settle for the best quality of work. We have loved what he and his team have achieved.

It was an absolute pleasure working with James and his hard-working, profession crew last year. They remained flexible with our project/design as it morphed during our extensive yard remodel; and James incorporated so many wonderful design elements as we completed our project. Loved that we incorporated water conservation ideas into our project (sprinklers, graywater system for our clothes washer, drought-tolerant plants, etc.). So happy with our beautiful project! A year later and we couldn't be happier with our new yard!!! Give Earthwise a try.
