Our Experience With Yardzen
Starting the process with Yardzen is a breeze.
They ask a lot of questions about your preferences and what youre looking for in your landscaping project.
There are two parts of Yardzen’s process the design and the build.
What was really amazing is that we never spoke with a designer on the phone throughout this entire process.
Everything was done through their questionnaire forms and emails.
Building the Project
Working with the build team was great as well.
By picking the best contractor, we felt like we had the best chance of succeeding.
Initially, the build team made a few suggestions that we didnt feel was the right fit.
This led us to do more research on our own.
Once we met with Michael, he elevated the initial Yardzen design to an even higher level.
Not only did we get to work with an excellent contractor, but also an additional designer.
During Michaels visit, we asked if he had any suggestions that could improve our initial Yardzen design.
Among other things, MG Construction specializes in making fireplaces and built-in barbecues.
Our recommendation is to be involved as much as necessary and double-check all details are accounted for.
give a shot to catch issues as soon as possible, before it’s too late to make changes.
And be sure to closely review the terms of the contract before you sign.
Initially, we wanted to redesign the driveway and widen the front door steps.
We also originally wanted a round fire pit on top of gravel.
The planters with fruitless olive trees that Yardzen suggested are a key focal point in the backyard.
The fireplace is centered from the couch in the living room.
We are big fans of symmetry and the large concrete pavers.
The built-in barbecue is really useful and turned out great.
The right side of the backyard continues with large concrete pavers.
Silver Sheen shrubs surround the backyard.
