Artscapes-Landscape Design

Scott and the Artscapes team did a great job for us with a fairly substantial backyard remodel. We had been stuck at the concept stage with other contractors/landscapers for years trying to figure out how to the get the most from our hillside lot. When we got introduced to Artscapes, Scott challenged some of our pre-existing thinking and led us to an design that made much more sense.

His team then did a great job executing against that design (kitchen, decking, fire pit, multi-level seating, planting & irrigation) and hit our timing and cost objectives. We love the space that they built and would highly recommend the team.

We initially hired Scott for landscape design then we hired him and his crew for the install. We redid both our front and both - decent size yards. We love how our yard turned out! We installed an outdoor kitchen (love!), jacuzzi with stone bench surround, turf, huge fire pit and horseshoe pit. His crew made our vision a reality. Scott has a great gift with plants and chose some very cool unique plants for our yard.

We worked closely with him to ensure the features were what we wanted. It came out fantastic! Every time we entertain, we are complimented on how beautiful our yard looks and that it feels like a resort. For years we avoided our backyard and now we spent tons of time there as a family. We love it!

Scott Soden and his Artscapes team designed and installed our new dream patio! We wanted a "zen garden" and interviewed a number of landscape contractors. From day one, Scott had a vision and it was fantastic to see it become reality.our patio has been totally transformed. Scott is one of the most creative and enthusiastic professional contractors we have ever worked with and was very responsive and proactive. He is extremely knowledgable about plants and what will work or not work. We love our new patio and would strongly recommend Scott and the Artscapes team!

We initially hired Scott because we were impressed with the work he had done on two of our neighbor's yards, but we became even more impressed with his willingness to listen to our wishes and incorporate them into his overall design. I don't know what I'm more pleased with -- the beautiful hardscape or the lush, colorful sofstcape that keeps our yard bathed in color year-round. Scott truly is an artist with an incredible vision, and his team was both hard-working and very courteous. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly.

We contracted ArtScapes to remodel and re-landscape our back yard two years ago. We had talked to other contractors; but after speaking with Scott we were sold. He had design ideas that hadn't even occurred to us. Scott and his crew did an amazing job transforming our backyard, including significant hardscaping: two new patios - one elevated - and a gas fire pit.

Two years later and we have not had any problems at all except that some of our plants are so attractive that the squirrels decided to eat them. We love our yard. It has become like an outdoor room of our house and we spend significantly more time outside at all times of year. We were so happy with the back yard that we hired ArtScapes to do our front yard as well.

We had the driveway redone, a new walkway, and the front yard totally re-landscaped. The project just finished and again we have been extremely happy with the results. We think we have the best house in the neighborhood.

After interviewing several landscapers my husband and I decided to go with Scott at Artscape-Landscape Design. He created several designs for us and was able to work within our budget. Scott was knowledgeable about all of the plants. He was available when he said he would be, and his workers were on time too. The project was completed on schedule to our satisfaction.

Our yard looks better today than it ever has and we've lived here 25 years. Many neighbors have stopped by to compliment it. We are so pleased with the job that we plan to call him back shortly to design the hardscape for our front yard.

I hired Artscapes to completely revamp our backyard in San Jose. I was impressed with Scotts design ideas and it was obvious he was passionate about plants and design. He designed a wonderful family oriented outdoor space including BBQ, Bar, Bocce court, Trellis, stone staircase, and waterfall. The Artscapes crew, Gabriel and the guys were simply wonderful to work with.

They were attentive, careful, and the workmanship was flawless. I liked their work so much that we had them do the front yard as well! A complete shout out to Scott and Artscapes. Thanks for the beautiful landscaping! Joanne M

I hired Artscapes to design and install a complete redesign our landscaping both front and back yards. We were doing a complete remodel of our home at the time as well as having the pool updated so there were a lot of contractors involved in the process. Artscapes was the one company that I did not have to worry about. They did what they said they would do and were very responsive to our needs. Scott worked well with my general contractor and pool contractor and was on time and on budget.

We were very pleased with Scotts design and Gabe and the crew were wonderful to work with. We were very pleased with the workmanship as well as the final product. Roxann, Burlingame

We hired Artscapes to landscape our back yard in Redwood City. We appreciated Scott's flexibility and openness to our ideas and after a lot of input and changes we settled on a beautiful design. We simply cannot believe the difference between what was there when we started and now. People come over and are totally blown away. Our space perfectly fits the environment and the clean contemporary lines are exactly what we were after. He executed our concept of a BBQ into a work of art. We are very pleased with the plant selection, many of which we had never seen before. We would recommend Artscapes.

We hired Scott with Artscapes to redesign our back yard several years ago and were very pleased with both the design and implementation. Scott's design skills are extraordinary and his vision for our backyard helped us think "beyond the box" of our yard. He made our small backyard look visually spacious by the use of an open fence to visually incorporate the neighboring trees and open space.

The use of natural stone, a water feature and plants gave us a backyard that we would never have imagined on our own. Scott's implementation of the design was very professional and the crew was always reliable, on time and very professional. We were so pleased that we hired Artscapes again to do our front yard as well. Our front yard now stops traffic!

The driveway, bordered in brick with tumbled pavers in the middle is beautiful and compliments the style of the house perfectly. The plants are varied and colorful and the dry creek bed looks completely natural. Luis and the guys were wonderful to work with and took the small changes we made with good nature and excellent workmanship. We believe that Scott and Artscapes increased the value of our home, literally and figuratively. We are happy to recommend Artscapes to anyone! Lorita and Eric, San Mateo
