Zanis Mantarakis2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zach and team were great! They finished ahead of time and on budget and did great work. One of the things I loved most about working with Zach was his ability to guide based on his experience. We had ideas on what we wanted to do, but everyone else we met with didn't really help, they just said they could do whatever we wanted. Zach was able to understand our vision and then guide us to make sure we didn't regret anything later. Would highly recommend Urban Soil and will definitely use them again. Peter Hong2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Zach and Urban Soil Landscape to refresh our front yard and do some work in the backyard to help with an area that was flooding. He was very easy and flexible to work with. He had some great ideas for the front yard landscape project, incorporated our wishes, and counseled us along the way about what would and would not work best. The work began and finished on time. His team was friendly and professional. We are very happy with the process and also the end product. I recommend. Shannon Keith2025-03-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service! Friendly crew and wonderful work. Zach is a pleasure to work with. Jacob Gindi2025-02-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had such an amazing A+ experience with Zach, Divan, and Urban Soil Landscape. Zach came out for an initial quote for our backyard project which included demo of existing surface and removal of plants, installing new pavers and turf, installing a drip system and new plants/tree, as well as low-voltage lighting installation of string lights and path lights. He gave us a very reasonable quote quickly and we signed the contract soon after. Seriously A+++ in terms of quality of work done and communication throughout the project. Delivered exactly as expected. Would highly recommend for any outdoor landscaping needs. Michael Kolber2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our first landscaping job with Urban Soil was in 2023 and we were delighted with our experience. Zach was very responsive from the time of my first call to the completion of the project. At our first meeting we described what we wanted and he offered helpful suggestions with respect to incorporating our ideas with the existing layout. We worked together to make small changes, but we always knew the impact on the budget. The completed project was on time, on budget, and high quality. Zach also provided a drawing and measurements that were acceptable for a rebate from LADWP for drought resistant landscaping. We worked with Zach again more recently to re-landscape both the front and back yards of a 100 year old house. He and his crew once again did a great job. We worked with Zach to create a great plan that was efficiently managed and completed on time. We have received countless compliments from our new neighbors. I highly recommend him and his team! Deborah Weiser2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We could not be happier with our decision to go with Urban Landscape. Zach is the best. We got a few quotes and Zach's was very competitive but more than that, I knew I could trust him to do the best job. Just before we signed, my son got engaged and we decided to throw an engagement party two and half weeks later. Zach committed to get it done in time and he beat the deadline. We are thrilled with all the great work. Dr Nancy Sutton Pierce2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have rejuvenated our front & back yards with the help of Zack’s vision & strong team. Very happy with Zack & he is a great communicator & very hands on with his projects. Highly recommended!! Scott Bates2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Zach and Urban Soil on 3 separate projects, and they all turned out great. He has an excellent design eye, but also many suggestions on how to stay in budget. He and his crew were very professional. They did difficult work and still kept the site clean. They kept to schedule. I will work with them again. Jodee Becker2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an A Plus experience with Urban Soil. On time. Within budget. The crew kept a clean work site and Zach kept us informed every step of the way. The results surpassed our expectations. D R2025-02-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Zach and his team transformed my front lawn and backyard into beautiful drought tolerant gardens. Honestly, he’s the best contractor I’ve ever had: an excellent communicator, a hard-working team, knowledgeable about which plants would thrive in my area, and worked with me according to my vision and budget. I wholeheartedly recommend Urban Soil Landscape to anyone in need of landscaping services. They're the best!
