Liaison Landscapes - Concord, California

Markus and team did an awesome job on our backyard. We gave them a rough idea of what we wanted and they came up with a great design that fit our budget. They got the work done quickly and were very professional. Every guy on the team took a lot of pride in their work and made sure it was done correctly. They worked with our last minute adjustments and made sure the final result was something we were happy with. We used to avoid going in our backyard because of the mess that it was but now we love it!

From start to finish, Liaison Landscapes exceeded my expectations. I had a vague concept of what I wanted in a backyard, but I needed profession help! I had a list of must haves, wants, and aspirational items. Elliott was able to help design a project that we could work on in stages. I gave them a budget and we were able to get the majority of the things I wanted within the budget!

The team was professional, courteous, and efficient! I can't believe how quickly they were able to finish the project, and they left the space neat and clean. I appreciate the flexibility when I wanted things moved or changed (even while the project was happening). I appreciate Markus' availability to review the work and his desire to make sure I was happy with the final results. If you are looking for a landscaping company to help you design your outdoor living space, and then bring it to life, Liaison Landscapes is your place!

We had a great experience working with Sean, his site manager Luis, and the entire crew at Liaison. As one other reviewer mentioned, I too was wondering who Sean was after all of the initial reviews mentioned Markus, but Sean is great. He came out a few months ago (pre-COVID) to talk through some general concepts that my wife and I were looking to do with our yard, as well as suggest various options to work with our budget.

After inundating Sean with questions via email, we paid a deposit to get a full CAD drawing done as our project was hardscape and not just plants. Sean was then open to our suggestions and revisions on said drawing and answered, again, more questions than I'd want to answer myself. (Thanks, Sean!)

Work began right after the COVID restrictions for outdoor companies lifted in early May. There were various parts of the Liaison crew specializing in different areas. We had a fantastic team that built our fence and a custom box for our utility meter (Thanks, Rene!) as well as others handling stones, debris removal, planting, irrigation, etc. Everything was done on time, and any concerns I had throughout were addressed by Sean or Luis on an ongoing basis. They also have 90 day guarantees post install for plants and offer an optional maintenance service going forward.

A few of our neighbors have complemented the work done, and we've been happy to refer them over to Sean for their own projects the last few weeks. This is a great team, highly recommended.

Writing this review as I sit on my beautiful deck in my amazing backyard which was recently completely redone by Liaison. Markus and his crew (Elvis) were great to work with and we couldn’t be happier. Our project was pretty intensive - we had the typical small SF city lot: sloping as we are on a hill, concrete, old fences and failing retaining walls. We wanted to make it usable, low maintenance, utilizing every inch of the space and of course, nice to look at. Not without its challenges, but with each new “curveball” thrown at us during the project, we were able to work with Markus and Elvis to come up with a solution that met our needs and didn’t slow the project down.

Besides having a great working relationship, the quality of work is top notch. We’ve had a ton of compliments and are definitely the envy of all our neighbors. Even after the project has finished, Markus has been available for follow up questions or minor adjustments we wanted to make. Doing big backyard projects like this in SF is always challenging (old homes, various city stuff, neighbors, cost), but Liaison was a great choice and we can’t recommend them highly enough.

Most would agree that Niagra falls is quite the spectacle to behold. But not when it's happening in the garage underneath your front stairs on a stormy wet day . The time had come to bite the bullet, scrounge for every coin you could fine underneath the couch cushion (we found a total of $14.35), and get the stairs redone. Many calls were made, multiple pleas for help ignored. I get it, most contractors won't go all in a "small" project unless they get to tear the rest of your house down. But in our most desperate hour, only one answered the bell, Sean Hayes and Luis from Liason Landscapes. In tandem with the water proofers from Renaissance, they heroically stopped the niagra insanity, and they did it in style with a refreshing herring bone design. Fortunately, our wooden foundation was in good repair so a complete demo was not needed. The sun gods favored our efforts during the month of February 2020 (bummer month for the skiing enthusiast) as the crew efficiently finished our stairs before month's end. When the rain returned in March with reckless abandon, the only niagra falls i saw underneath our new staircase was the one on my ipad from a youtube video 😃.

Shout out to Sean. He reached out to us literally within hours of sending a request. He was instrumental in getting our project done during that Feb window of dry weather. He explained everything succinctly, and now I know more about the process of waterproofing and reconstructing stairs than i care to know 😆. And of course, hats off to Luis and his special ops crew of Julio(el capitan), Francisco, and Rene. These guys were awesome, literally, every brick of the way. They were courteous and explained everything they were doing. Overall, we love our new stairs and the fact we no longer have to wear a life preserver to move around our garage. Liason Landscapes, the crown jewel of SF!

Markus and his team did an INCREDIBLE job on our major backyard renovation. The design itself was creative and beautiful. Markus listened to everything we wanted and incorporated it into the design perfectly. The work itself was done on time and within budget. His entire team was very professional and effective. It was a disruptive project but we had multiple neighbors tell us how great all the workers were throughout it. They were flexible with our timing and requirements and the communication was great throughout the entire project. We've had numerous people over to the backyard since it was completed and everyone is amazed by how beautifully it turned out. We honestly can't recommend Liaison Landscapes highly enough.

Markus and his team did an awesome job on redoing our entire yard. Their concrete work is top notch, and they were even able to do a very specific finish that I was looking for! His team also did beautiful work with our custom wood and steel pergola. We are so pleased with the results!

It was a pleasure to work with Sean, Luis, and their crew. They renovated our backyard and helped us with everything from design and demolition to landscaping. Their work is beautiful and high quality, and they have great ideas about designs, plants etc. Both Sean and Luis are very responsive to emails and texts, and they were often on the job site. I would hire them again and highly recommend them for backyard or other landscaping projects.
