“Working with Verdance is as good as it gets. John is professional, conscientious, and exudes integrity. He artfully adapts his vision and creativity to the needs of his clients.”

“John asked thoughtful questions about how we used the space and what we were hoping for in the new garden. The result is amazing… The plants were chosen carefully and have thrived in the eight years since installation.”

“Verdance identified our needs and designed a dramatically improved outdoor space that fit with our home and was an extension of our indoor style.”

“The results are outstanding. We are literally enjoying our yard every day. We have had surprising and wonderful changes in colors from season to season. Verdance cares about providing their clients with a garden that surpasses anything they can imagine.”

“They listened attentively to our ‘wish list’ for new landscaping after construction, and we were very pleased with both the results and our interactions.”

“Knowing we didn’t like what we had, but not exactly sure of what we wanted, we relied on their expertise to help us create a yard that has exceeded all our expectations.”

“We highly recommend John at Verdance Landscape Architecture not only for his flair for design but also for his project management expertise.”

“Please stop looking because you have found one of the best landscape designers in the Bay Area.”

“The Verdance Landscape Architecture team went way above and beyond my original expectations. They took care of every little detail — and then some. I’d give them 10 stars if that were possible.”

“Finding someone to do a great job is one thing, but finding someone that can get to know you and what you truly value is another.”

“John graciously jumped in to help us solve a thorny problem we had not anticipated with our remodel. His design was elegant and very effective. He is a pleasure to work with, a real talent!”

“Thanks to their creative skills, attention to detail, and consistent communication, our journey from barren landscape to our dream garden was serene and trouble free.”

“Not only does John and his team have amazing vision, but they were able to visually translate our thoughts and feelings into designs that were perfect.”

“The best compliment I can give, outside of how happy we were ourselves, is what I saw when I returned to the house two years after we sold... The new owner had done absolutely nothing to change the design! He cited the landscaping as one of the most pleasant elements of the entire home.”

“I would highly recommend Verdance if you value great, well thought out design and someone who can take your project all the way through completion. ”

“Thank you so much for helping this vision come to life; it is truly spectacular and we couldn’t be more pleased with the way it has turned out.”

“They truly are passionate about their projects. Our needs called for someone with expertise, honesty and pride in his work. John was all that. He listened to what our pain points were, took in our capabilities, and off he went and treated our project like it was for his own home.”

“The yard is continuing to bring us much pleasure. It has been fun this year to watch the various plants rotate through their bloom cycles. One of the wonderful things about your design is that it also looks beautiful from within the house!”

“Creative, passionate, and knowledgeable in landscape design for native environments. Verdance did an exceptional job designing a creative yet practical solution.”
