Natural Earth Sustainable Landscape & Design - Claremont, California

Mike Gaumer

So, we met Hayden & Geordie several years ago when we had them do a refresh on our backyard landscape after replacing our backyard wall that backs up to Foothill Blvd. They did such a fantastic job, that when it came time to do our front yard, there was no discussion on who we would use. We already had in mind a basic design and what we wanted to accomplish, but after several meetings, estimates and renderings, we came to an agreement on a plan that would fit our desires and budget. It did not end there though, during the implementation process the plan evolved somewhat by creating features (driveway expansion, mounds for contour & a recycled concrete wall to create a semi-private patio & an address monument) and using a variety of materials that really brought the whole project together in the end. Their recommendations for the irrigation and lighting plans were well founded and implemented.
We were well involved in the plan as it progressed even the final plant selection; their recommendations were spot on. The entire team was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process and constantly had to deal with our last minute changes and updates. We learned a great deal during this process. The project was completed on time and just a little over budget, but only due to the change orders that we requested. The job foreman, Juan was extremely easy to work with & his crew was great. The site was cleaned up virtually everyday, progress was made daily and the job was completed on time. My wife and I could not be happier with the end-result. We highly recommend Hayden & Geordie and the rest of the team at Natural Earth Lanscaping. I am confident that we could have got the job done cheaper, but at what cost? In our minds, it's worth every penny we paid for it. We feel that we received a good value and that the value of our home has improved significantly along with the increased curb appeal. Thanks guys!

PS. I have posted 2 photos from the beginning of the project and then the rest are after completion.

We had taken out our lawn and created a California natives landscape some 20 years ago and love it. But after 20 years, weeds and other unwanted stuff were taking over and some plants had grown so big we could barely control them. Natural Earth did a great job of cleaning up, major pruning, completely revamping the irrigation system to install an automated Rachio system and they modified some of our original design with new plantings. Matt and Tony and Geordie and Hayden were always in touch to keep us informed about what was happening and checking with what we wanted. We are very happy with the result. A final bonus: there was an issue with the irrigation in one section of the yard. Tony came to look at it, and to install a new valve to deal with the problem, and they did not charge any extra. Thanks everyone!

We are thrilled with the landscaping work Natural Earth did for our home. They took the time to understand and implement our vision. Over a series of walkthroughs and Zoom calls, they created a plan that fit our goals and budget perfectly.

They handled everything: design, procurement of plants and materials, installation and implementation, etc. By having one team handle everything from start to finish, all the different parts of the project were perfectly integrated, from the different types of plants to the new lights and irrigation systems. This project had a lot of different elements, and Natural Earth made it all hassle-free for us.

They were always available to handle our questions. The work was completed quickly. Natural Earth kept the project site looking tidy, and the work was never disruptive to us or our neighbors.

Now that we're finished, we keep getting compliments on how good our front yard looks. Our only regret was not starting this project much earlier! We were daunted by the amount of work our yard required, so we kept putting off the project. But now that we know how easy and pleasant Natural Earth can make a relandscaping process, we'd recommend them to anyone considering this type of work.

Natural Earth Landscaping is great! They helped us to envision, and then implemented, a complete front yard transition from lawn to drought resistant California native plants. The design was a collaboration of ideas, and it was completed with professionalism in every aspect, from new concrete pathway, to rain gardens, elevation variation, night lighting and more. Though the process is expensive, it was done to enhance our enjoyment of the property as well as enhance the value of our home. We highly recommend this company.

It’s almost impossible to convey in words the level of pure joy that we get out of coming home and enjoying our new landscape design every day. Natural Earth delivered an incredible design incorporating California native/ drought tolerant plants and resolved drainage issues in a sustainable way. We are enjoying the increased variety of birds and butterflies as well as the many compliments from guests. We are looking forward to enjoying the landscaping as it matures and develops over the years. The Natural Earth team is incredibly responsive, professional and creative. We highly recommend them!

I had a great experience with all the employees at Natural Earth! Everyone from the owner, to the project manager, to the individual workers. They were on time every day and kept with the timeline of our project schedule. The outcome was beautiful and they were super accommodating to the changes I decided to make during the process. Highly would recommend.

I have had the chance to visit most of their sites and I had a great experience with Natural Earth! I can tell they are always seeking to improve. Their maintenance has gotten better and better. And their installations are amazing. They are truly doing their best to take care of their employees and create an environment where people truly care about the environment.

We interviewed a few landscaping design businesses with emphasis on California native landscaping. We chose Natural Earth Landscaping. One of the many reasons is...The first person we had contact with is Kate who answered the phone. Kate went over and beyond in answering our questions... and we had a lot. Just that first contact alone, made us feel we would be in good hands. After that, we met with Matt and Daniel at our home. We felt Natural Earth would make our vision come to a reality. We were heavily involved in landscape design and plant choices... we had several zoom calls to go over questions, and make the necessary plans to bring this project to fruition.
Everyone we came in contact with from Kate, Matt, Daniel, Tony etc.. many people...were extremely professional and kind. We did have a few problems related to rain events that affected our landscape. Natural Earth went over and beyond to correct the issue. We highly recommend Natural Earth Landscaping. If you are thinking about changing your landscape, please consider giving this highly professional organization a call.
