Whether it is a pot, a balcony, a patio or a backyard, Firmly Planted Designs, creates gardens of the soul! Before we start any job we always begin with one question. How will this space make you feel? We believe that a garden is like the soul. The seeds you plant are the love. The plants you choose are the life and the soil is the beautiful, black blanket that keeps it all nurtured, growing and healthy. Firmly Planted was created out of love, consciousness and the knowing that when you surround yourself with beauty, nature, style and flow you will feel good. When you feel good you are good! I am Alicia Blas, the creator of Firmly Planted. I am a Master Gardener (Florida, Michigan, California and New Mexico). A garden and product designer and a Landscape Stylist. We are a bilingual company and are happy to serve both our English and Hebrew Speaking communities!
"Alicia helped us articulate a vision for our backyard and moved heaven (well maybe, not heaven) to make it happen. She asked the right questions that helped us ramble on about the feelings we wanted to create, listened well, and translated our interests that into soft and hardscape designs that tell our Story oh so well. Her flexibility to weave and roll as we considered her ideas and as the landscaping came out of the ground delivered an environment to be enjoyed for many years."

"As a career woman (currently typing this review while out of town!) with a busy schedule, I needed a driveway that was both beautiful and practical. I needed my driveway redone ASAP and I needed it done fast. Encore Builders made the entire process quick and easy, and the results look GREAT. From day one, Oz and Brandon were professional, efficient, and detail-oriented. They started by taking precise measurements and carefully mapping out the design to ensure the perfect layout. Once the plan was finalized, they got to work by digging up and removing the old driveway, making sure the foundation was properly prepared for the new and improved design. On the next stage, they leveled the ground to create a strong and even base, ensuring proper drainage so I wouldn't have to worry about water pooling in the future.

Owner, Zach Elledge has a degree in Landscape Planning and Design and a C27 State Landscaping Contractors license. He comes from a family of both hobby gardeners and professional landscapers and his love for nature and the outdoors was groomed at an early age, enhancing his desire to create beautiful, functional gardens and outdoor spaces. Whether designing visually beautiful gardens or attractive functional hardscape designs, Urban Soil Landscape has a keen ability to create results that appeal to the senses. Zach guides clients through the design process, ensuring the results meet their needs, and incorporates the architectural details of the structures enriched by his landscape designs. Zach brings together his knowledge of horticulture, design and construction to deliver elegantly styled landscapes.
"Choosing Zach Elledge and Urban Soil Landscape for our backyard project was the best home improvement decision we have ever made. Our very large backyard has always been too big of a job to tackle by ourselves; so it just sat there, ugly and unused. We really didn't know what we wanted, but we were tired of its sorry state and knew that it was time to call a professional. After talking to a bunch of landscape designers who all pushed the same off-the-shelf hardscaping products with the high-pressure tactics of a car salesman, meeting Zach was a breath of fresh air. He is calm, friendly, and patient. He asked us questions about what was important to us and really listened to our answers, taking time to fit that into the plan he was forming. After about twenty minutes he had a rough sketch of a design that cleverly divided our large, weedy mess into several pleasant areas all woven together into a harmonious plan with winding paths and focal points. Since it was such a big change that was hard for us to visualize, he offered to do a detailed scale drawing for a small fee. We agreed, and about a week later he came back and presented us with a really beautiful hand-drawn site plan, complete with plant and tree choices, watering design, and lighting options. If you know what you want, you could probably skip this step, but it really helped us see what he had in mind and know that he was the person to choose. Once we got started, our opinion of Zach and his whole team rose to new levels. First of all, Zach was always reachable by phone if we had questions, but that was not really necessary because he was here on site nearly every day. The team showed up on time every day, worked hard all day, and left the area completely clean and organized at the end of the day. Everyone on the team is professional and friendly. If they say they are going to do something, they do it thoroughly and correctly and get all the little details right. For example we added a patio with pavers which has a border of contrasting colored pavers. In all of the 90-degree corners, they did this really intricate bevel design that looks great. We did not tell them to do that, and it would have been much easier not to, but we are so happy that they did. There are many other examples like that that I could talk about, but this would go on forever. Let me just say that by day 2 or 3 we had complete trust in this team, and we were never disappointed. We are so happy with the final product and were blown away with the short amount of time it took Zach and Urban Soil to create it. We started with a weedy field and ended with a patio, a fence, a deck, a fire pit area, a lawn, two raised beds, an arbor, and a succulent garden all tied together with curving pathways and framed by beautiful plants and trees. Once work started, this all took 10 days. Incredible. It should be obvious by now that I could not recommend Zach more highly. If you are looking for a real Landscape Designer (capital L, capital D) who cares about their customers and has pride in their work, look no further than Zach, and Urban Soil Landscape."

"I had a horrible experience getting a new roof from HomeRenew360's project manager Idan Mizrahi. My contract called for closed-cut valleys, but Idan did open-cut valleys instead w/o getting my OK first. Idan said if I wanted closed-cut valleys, I would have to pay to have the roof ripped up and redone. That's a lie, because every contractor knows you can't make a change like that w/o getting the homeowner's OK first. Several rafter tails on my garage were obviously rotted. I asked Idan about them, and he said "that's painting." That's another lie, because the roof rests on those rafters. So now I have a new roof resting on rotted rafters that should have been replaced/repaired after the old roof had been taken off. I trusted Idan and got burned. At the end of the project Idan said he had to charge me extra $ for lumber. I showed him in the contract where it said wood would be replaced AS NEEDED, not as needed up to a certain amount. Stay away from HomeRenew360 and Idan Mizrahi!"

Hiring a landscape designer brings your vision to life by creating a detailed plan that maximizes your property's appeal. A professional designer enhances the aesthetics of your outdoor space, increases your home's value through thoughtful plant selection and design, and efficiently manages the project from start to finish. Their expertise ensures your landscape is not only beautiful but also functional.
To verify a landscape designer's credentials, start by checking their professional certifications and licenses. Review their portfolio of completed projects and ask for client testimonials or references. Ensure their design style aligns with your vision by discussing past work and understanding their approach. This thorough vetting process helps you select a qualified and reliable professional for your project.
