Sequoia Outdoor Design & Build - San Mateo, California

We couldn't be happier with the incredible transformation of our outdoor area, thanks to this amazing team at Sequoia! They completely reimagined our backyard and side front yard, creating a stunning, functional, and inviting environment. (honestly such a night and day difference from before.

From the beautifully landscaped areas, bushes, and privacy hedges to the outdoor kitchen with a grill, griddle, and lights to the outdoor seating area AND area for our new raised garden beds. Our backyard is finally livable and something we look at with smiles on our faces.

Haley, our designer, was a creative genius who truly listened to our vision and brought it to life with her brilliant ideas. She was a great listener and took our wants into a vision. Alonzo, our project manager, was equally fantastic - keeping everything on track, ensuring everything was done efficiently, and going above and beyond to make the process seamless.

The team was fast, professional, and so friendly, answering all our questions and providing helpful suggestions along the way. We made a couple requests as the project went on and they were more than happy to accommodate. They even redid our sprinkler system to make sure everything stays green and beautiful for years to come.

In regards to pricing, they were really transparent, broke up all the pricing and options, and didn't try to push unwanted/unrealistic additions to our project.

We can't recommend them enough! If you're looking for a company to make your outdoor dreams come true

We recently worked with Sequoia on a front yard redesign, as well as a drainage and irrigation revamp following a home renovation project and are extremely happy with the process and results! Communication was outstanding from the get-go - Will performed the initial consultation and after laying out our various options, expertly weaved our project wants and needs into our limited front yard space - always quick getting back to us with answers to project tweaks and changes. Hayleigh (their plant expert) was great to work with, as she listened to what we liked about our previous plant variety and provided a really nice plant selection and layout. Once the shovels hit the ground, Jonathan and Alonzo communicated proactively the entire duration of the project and kept to an efficient project schedule, completing everything within budget and scope - with an outstanding-looking result. A special shout-out to the yard demo and install crew, who worked long days through a heat wave and were always friendly and courteous. We would highly recommend this professional and hard-working team!

Great experience all around! The Sequoia team has done a fantastic job on our rather a larger-scale project. Both Will and Haley went above and beyond to ensure our project stayed on track despite a couple of changes along the way, which was much appreciated as we began the work in March with a hope to complete it by early June to have the whole summer to enjoy our new beautiful outdoor space. To our delight, the work was done right as planned! The Sequoia team has been very responsive throughout the project (and even after we finished the work!), gave us a lot of useful insights, and were very focused on delivering 100%+ on things that mattered to us. Thank you, Sequoia team - we really appreciate your partnership!

We worked with Sequoia on a front and backyard design. Will has a great eye for design and a lot of knowledge about water needs and maintenance requirements. He worked within our budget and we were very pleased with the outcome. He and his staff were very friendly, professional, and great to work with.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Will and his exceptional crew, led by Alonzo, from Sequoia Outdoors to build a stunning new outdoor kitchen. From start to finish, the experience was immaculate and professional.

The team's attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship are evident in every aspect of the project. The kitchen they built exceeded all my expectations, blending functionality with beautiful design. The craftsmanship is top-notch, with every tile, countertop, and cabinet perfectly installed.

Will's professionalism and clear communication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Alonzo and the crew were punctual, respectful, and incredibly skilled, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly.

I highly recommend Will and his team to anyone looking for high-quality construction work. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is truly commendable. Thank you, Will, Alonzo, and the crew, for turning my vision into a reality!

We worked with Sequoia on a backyard project (expansion and drainage) this past summer (2023). We loved working with Will. He had great ideas and was flexible and open to considering and incorporating our ideas- which turned into an absolutely beautiful space. He was also willing to work within our budget. In fact, he recommended a tweak to our original ideas to maximize our funds and as a result, we have a much more beautiful, practical, and useable space.
Regarding drainage, I am happy to report that after all the rain so far this season, we have been waking up to a completely dry patio. Each storm has brought massive amounts of water that have drained perfectly. As a comparison, last year we had a swamp in multiple parts of the yard. It may not be where you want to spend your budget, but if you have drainage problems, it is well worth it.
Side note, we also referred Sequoia to a friend who had a smaller budget project, and they did a beautiful job for them as well. Therefore, no job too big or too small. Cannot wait to use our yard this summer.
Highly recommend!

We worked with Sequoia for redoing our back yard with a new patio and artificial turf. Will was very easy to brainstorm with, helped us plan out the project, and kept the whole thing very organized. We had a deadline to be ready before a weekend party, and the crew worked in heat and rain to get done a full week ahead of the event. Everything looks crisp and professional, and was done in a steady, organized fashion without any surprises. I'm absolutely bringing them back for the work we need in the front yard.

Being in the real estate business, I have had the pleasure of working with William and Luke on several projects. While their work is outstanding, I was most impressed with their communication and follow through. Construction projects can be very stressful, but they make the process seamless. I highly recommend Sequoia Outdoor for your landscaping projects.
