After deciding to get rid of our large backyard lawn, we hired Austin Parnow to plan and create an attractive, relaxing new outdoor space that would require low water and maintenance. Since we know very little about plants or design, we relied on Austin to make all the specific design and plant suggestions, and we were thrilled with the plan he delivered. Even more exciting was watching the building of the project over the course of several months by his skillful, hardworking crew. The finished result exceeded our expectations. Austin is a creative designer with high standards and a meticulous eye for detail. We appreciated how closely he stuck to his detailed project budget and how careful he was to explain all charges to us. He listened attentively to our comments and questions and responded quickly to our emails and texts. We feel fortunate to have had the chance to work with Austin and can recommend him enthusiastically. Susan Milstein and Elliot Morrison

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.
