3 Best Landscaping Companies in Berkeley, CA

Everything about our experience with Cruikshank Landscaping was excellent. They were willing to work with us to figure out what we could (and couldn't) afford. Every question was promptly answered, and every curve ball I threw them was graciously and professionally handled. Robert and Marisol held our hands throughout the process, checked in regularly, and made sure we understood every step. We spend a lot of time appreciating the two large patios and walkways. The new power and water stations spread across our yard, along with the outdoor sink, have made our lives immeasurably better. (I did the wall mural in the photos myself, but I couldn't resist including it here.) Honestly, I miss working with them. I highly recommend them for anyone else's landscaping needs. UPDATE: Now that we’ve gone through a few serious rainstorms I wanted to come back with an update. Robert explained all of the drainage plans and why they were important, but I couldn’t fully appreciate them until now. Even in the worst rainstorms our patios and pathways kept the yard fully accessible, and everything fully drains within moments of the rain ending. I have a whole new level of appreciation for the professional and polished work of Cruikshank Landscaping.

Cruikshank did an excellent and highly professional job on an extensive redo of our front and back yards, that included some grading/drainage, stone/DG surfaces, concrete pavers and driveway, and even building some custom planters and a trash corral. Marisol brought a ton of expertise and experience to the design and planning process, was completely on top of the entire process from end to end -- and her team clearly cared about doing very high quality work and were a pleasure to work with. Would recommend without hesitation.

We were so lucky to have found Marisol, Noah and their team! They made the entire process seamless. We were in a tricky situation after our pergola and fence were destroyed in a storm, and their team cleaned up all of the damage and rebuilt everything better then before- while being friendly, detailed, and a pleasure to work with! All scheduling and contracts were all clear and upfront. They were even extremely patient as we navigated insurance claims. Would recommend them to anyone!

I have used Green Gallery many times for various projects. Nathaniel has incredible design sense and aesthetic and always gives excellent advice. He has consulted with me several times over the years at the different houses I’ve lived in and consistently given great recommendations on plants, hard scale, cost, upkeep. He really know what he is doing! His crew is very hardworking and do an excellent job, always leaving everything meticulously clean. I will definitely use them again in my next house!

We have used Nathan Parsley's Green Gallery for 2 major projects: 1) an extensive, lovely backyard remodel that included a center paved stone patio, three redwood raised boxes, and other structural features such planting a pittosporum privacy boarder. Just as important were the plants he used -- especially a matuel Maple tree. Everything fit perfection in our relatively small backyard area, and 2) a few months ago, Nathan completed our front yard, turning an dried-out ugly lawn into a combination of appropriate grasses and ground cover for low water maintenance. Again great choice of plants and superb work done -- this time in one day. He also knows irrigation! We cannot recommend Green Gallery enough. Quality work every time.

Nat and Nathan did a phenomenal job with our project. We replaced our back decking and awning structure and overhauled our small-but-mighty front yard garden spaces. Nat and Nathan were responsive and easy to work with, answering all of our questions and taking our ideas and making them possible. I'd highly recommend working with them for all landscaping efforts!
