Extremely communicative, responsive & flexible to changes and new ideas as the project progressed. Fairly & transparently priced & the crew was friendly & worked to ensure every detail was perfect. Definitely recommend for landscape / hardscape design!

Two workers came, worked very diligently digging to the irrigation connection to the main water line to examine connections. They replaced the BFD, also.

Native has been terrific to work with, and their work is beautiful. The whole process was painless, and Josh was very user friendly. Great communication, met timelines, exceeded expectations. Looking forward to working with them again on future projects.

I called Native for a spring startup of my irrigation when I had a couple fitting breaks. They were fully booked, but one of the few that tried and succeeded fitting me in within a reasonable time of a week. The husband and wife team who came out where nice and very knowledgeable. They easily fixed the weird angled pipe fittings within a couple hours. They followed up the next day and then native followed up a week later. Great experience.

I had a vague idea of what I wanted when I first called Native Design. They listened to what I wanted, were honest about what could work, gave me great ideas, and made it come to life. I love to have friends and family over and we now have a beautiful place to share with them. Highly recommend.
