Picture Build

Would highly recommend Picture Build! They were reasonably priced, great quality of workmanship and very efficient. Always showed up to work and the project was completed very timely.

AMAZING. Daniel and his team are the best

Very professional, responsive and thorough. A real customer-focused company.

Picture build were great. They did excellent quality work and delivered real value. They put in new driveway (with pavers) and pedestrian staircase, new landscaping with mature trees, new lighting and electrics, new IPE hardwood fencing. Couldn't be happier with their work. I actually use them now for landscape maintenance.

It was a very positive experience. They came in on budget. They came in ahead of time on their schedule.

New driveway

Picture Build is great to work with. They are extremely professional and do a fabulous job. They worked very hard and efficiently, not wasting any time. We had a lot of brick and concrete demo that needed to be hauled out with wheelbarrows due to lack of backyard access. We are so pleased with the end result - a beautiful deck, landscape lighting and new plants. George and Brian are easy to work with and responsive to any concerns or questions. I would highly recommend Picture Build for your outdoor remodeling needs.

Really nice, good, beautiful turn out.

They did a good job, they listen and answer all your questions. They want to make sure you are happy with the work performed.

The work was seamless, arrived when they said they would. had good communication. There was only one time they had something pop up, and I wasn't notified, but when I reached out, they were very apologetic and responded right away. I met up with several companies and I was extremely impressed with their professionalism. Out of the people I met with, their pricing was in the middle. They have in house staff, so they didn't have to sub contract anything out for my project. If a sub contractor was needed, they will provide a receipt to show it was paid and taken care of. They knew what they were doing. They are fast and work consistently. They were clean, and when I needed something, they would be very accommodating. If there was an issue with something, there was no issues getting them back to fix it. They are a full service landscaping company for anything on the property, which I liked and was very happy with. The owner, he came out and he provided suggestions on other options we could do to make it more aesthetically pleasing without any additional cost.

Our front yard had deteriorated badly in recent years due to the drought and deer population. Our terraced yard had been held in place by ivy that was dead and the hillside was starting to erode. Brian from Picture Build met with me to discuss our options. Drought and deer tolerant plants were a must for us, as well as some way to hold the slopes in place. We had met with other landscaping companies before, but Brian made new suggestions that appealed to us (e.g. a granite rock wall where we couldn't build a retaining wall due to utilities easement, among other things). We decided to move forward. The next step was meeting with the design team from Remarkable Gardens. The ladies were very nice to work with and produced a design that we were very happy with. Brian then provided a budget and plan that fit nicely into our expectations. The Picture Build crew were all courteous and professional as the project moved into the execution phase. I'm home during the day, so I was present for most of the work and tended to ask a fair amount of questions. The crew were always willing to talk with me and never made me feel that I was being intrusive. We did have some change orders along the way - some expected, some at our request and some unexpected but not considered by us to be unreasonable. There was a point near the end of the project when we were not clear on the status of some some loose ends. I called Brian to discuss these issues and within 24 hours it all had been addressed. My impression of Brian is that a top priority was our satisfaction of the outcome of our project. Also, about a week after the project completion, the irrigation system malfunctioned. We contacted the project manager, Brandon, who sent out a crew to fix the problem (caused by the high water pressure we have). The installed pressure valves and it's worked perfectly since. We are so pleased with the final results. We get so many compliments. I wouldn't hesitate to use Picture Build again and would recommend them highly to anyone.

Brian made sure everything was just right. While grading the back yard, we came upon lots of surprises. Everything that you could imagine, and Brian got everything disconnected, coiled up, removed, capped or replaced without a problem. Looks great!

Brian and his team turned the piles of dirt in our backyard into our favorite place to spend time. They were able to take our ideas and make it a reality. Brian discussed the various plants we should use and why they would work best with the area that we have.

Brian and crew were punctual and professional. The work done on the wall, and then the paver installation on my driveway were both quality jobs. The work was done in a timely fashion, and clean-up done every afternoon. Since completion I have received many compliments on the look of both projects and feel that my home value has been increased by the work that Picture Build has done.

I came back to Picture Build after choosing another contractor because the contractor I had chosen kept adding on charges, making his final cost much higher than the quote given by Picture Build.  Brian at Picture Build gave me a price with no add-ons.  His crew of four came in on a Thursday and were done one week later, and this was not a small job. <br /> <br /> The work was done beautifully.  The job was pulling up and replacing an original 1925 brick patio which was cracked and uneven.  The crew brought up the brick, saved most of the bricks, filled the cracks, leveled the cement pad, reset the bricks, widened the steps, removed ill-conceived cement flower boxes, and set in artificial turf on another patio on the other side of the house to boot.  The workers were polite, and punctual, stayed until dark, and never bothered us in the house. <br /> <br /> I would recommend Picture Build to anyone looking for honest, professional work.

Brian at Picture Build is awesome. He did my patio, which was in major need of a redo. He quoted me a price and stayed within the budget. His crew showed up on time and did the job in a day. Brian did the work on the fence, and it turned out the posts were rotted out, he replaced the posts and did everything right at no additional charge for the extra work this involved.Thanks to Brian I now spend many hours of relaxation on my beautiful patio!!!!! I would use Picture Build for any of my outdoor needs. Read less

<br /> <br /> Brian Godley did a fantastic <br /> job on our landscaping, and was a pleasure to work with. When we moved into our <br /> first house last year the front and backyard needed a total makeover (half-dead <br /> lawns courtesy of the drought), plus the driveway was ugly cracked asphalt. We <br /> hired Brian (after faithfully checking his references) because he had totally <br /> re-landscaped two houses in our neighborhood and we could tell by how they <br /> looked that he did real quality work. He explained the different types of <br /> hardscape?gravel, mulch, artificial turf?and created a design plan for us. He <br /> very patiently went through several re-designs until we settle on what we <br /> wanted, which turned out to be a mixture of artificial turf (which we had <br /> wanted from the beginning) and drought tolerant plants in mulch. We had <br /> originally wanted to replace the driveway with concrete and requested some <br /> pretty brickwork like almost all of the houses nearby had. Brian suggested <br /> instead that we go with pavers, saying that they would really make the place stand <br /> out. He was so right! Ours is the only house with pavers in the neighborhood <br /> and it looks really terrific, we?ve gotten tons of compliments on them. He <br /> helped us select a color palette that matched the house which was had just had <br /> repainted. The workmanship on the driveway as well as a double pathway we had <br /> him do out front shows great attention to detail, you can really tell someone <br /> took the time and effort to do it right. I love plants and flowers, but I <br /> almost love the stonework he did more! Both front and back gardens turned out <br /> great. Instead of a regular square of lawn with plants around it, in the front <br /> the artificial turf looks more like a wave, an accent among the plants in the <br /> mulch. In the back, we wanted to look out and see an expanse of green instead <br /> of brown, and the artificial turf gave us that. (Before you do a project like <br /> this, you say ?fake grass,? but by the end, you?re telling everyone it?s <br /> ?artificial turf!, don?t you know??) We even had him put in a hard curb on <br /> front of house, because for some odd reason it didn?t have one. He finished the <br /> job on schedule, which was fantastic, since so many jobs end up running over <br /> the deadline. He used high-end materials, and it shows. We are very happy with <br /> the results, and highly recommend Brian and his company Picture Build to anyone <br /> who wants to turn their current garden/driveway into something really special <br /> to be proud of and to be happy to coming home to every day.

The project started the first week of December and was estimated to take 3 1/2 weeks.  They were on time and completed the work within the time frame specified.  Their proposal was the most thorough, professional and cost effective. I needed to get it done as soon as possible since the prediction of El Nino was so severe and my driveway was in such bad shape that my garage would flood when it rained. They dealt with the city of San Marino which is always a challenge.  They were able to fix the problem and do it in a timely manner.  It was a big job since my driveway is 4,000 square feet.  My driveway looks beautiful.

<p>Brian is a person of great integrity, and among all the contractors with whom  we have ever worked he has been the easiest and the most pleasant. He does outstanding work and we get constant compliments from people visiting our home - both new visitors and those who saw the "before" as well as the "after." His crew is professional and tidy.  </p> <br />

Picture Build was by far the most professional Landscape Company I interviewed. From the first appointment they were on time and had lots of very creative ideas for my yard. The design process was so efficient with a complete design and plant recommendations. The job started on time and each day they took extra time to clean up and keep my yard looking as best they could. The Paver installation was amazing. The material color and design was perfect!!!. They took a great deal of time perfecting the new irrigation and installed many water saving components. The plants and lawn installation were amazing they installed had a couple switches that made it even better. From start to finish every employee was knowledgeable in their field and helpful. Picture Build was Picture Perfect!!!! Thanks again...
