Austin Parnow Landscape Design

We are absolutely thrilled with the work Austin did for us. We hired him for our property's landscape design and installation, and the results truly exceeded our expectations. Austin faced significant challenges—an ongoing home remodel and an impending wedding on the property—yet he was exceptionally flexible, reliable, and completed the project right on time. He designed a stunning space capable of hosting over 100 guests while working within our budget. His selection of beautiful, low-maintenance plants was perfect for our needs. Austin is incredibly easy to work with, a fantastic communicator, and highly dependable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience; the final result was even better than we had hoped! We are already looking forward to hiring him again for Phase 2 of our project.

We confidently recommend Austin Parnow as a talented landscape builder/designer. He transformed our large, gently sloping backyard full of mismatched brick, unsightly lava rock, and crumbling deck and trellis, into an award winning backyard (first place CA Landscape Contractors Assoc. No. Coast, design/build large residential installation). Our yard is now a beautiful, functional, terraced yard, two seating areas, pond with cascading water feature, and BBQ area. The project consisted of site grading, relocating large boulders, rock wall, steps installed with recessed lighting, natural bluestone pavers, underground irrigation, and per his suggestion, an innovative material for retaining walls capped with bluestone for additional seating. The stunning design is enhanced with thoughtful plant selections. We were so pleased with his work on our backyard that we had him design our front yard also.

Austin and his team did an excellent job with our project. Austin listened to our desires and respected our decisions when we pulled back from a complete back yard redo. We did end up having him work on the front yard as well. We have been very happy with all of the work and have received numerous compliments from friends, family, neighbors, and people that walk our neighborhood. We are very happy with the quality of the craftsmanship in regards to the hardscape and the selection of the softscape.
