Recent Review: SOD Home Group is seriously the best group of people to work with! They turned around my complete house - kitchens, bathrooms, floors, patio, backyard and studio were all renovated. It was a complete overhaul and a tremendous job. Everything was so well done, but in particular I need to give a shout out to the work they did converting the garage into an open plan studio unit I can now Airbnb. That work is truly beautiful and has been noticed by guests and realtors for its quality! To give you some context–before SOD Home Group redid my house, it was an old house that had been shown little love over the years. The original bathrooms were in such a sad state–the showers leaked into the basement whenever the water ran. There was little to no natural light in the house at all. Eden from SOD Home Group helped me to redesign the entire house to modernize it into a beautiful home! Oren oversaw the entire project for 18 months so really so much credit for this job goes to him (see further down for even more of my recommendation!) We started with the bathrooms, which was a complete overhaul of the tiling, toilet, shower, vanity, etc. For the shower, they tarred and sealed the base of the shower completely–which has turned out beautifully. Then we did the kitchen which again was a complete overhaul job. Cabinets, countertop, appliances, cutting a hole in the wall to accommodate the new countertop island… it was all handled so well! Then we did floors… for the entire house! These floors are gorgeous–they’re treated reclaimed barn wood with beautiful texture and grain. I recommend asking for them to be double waxed (just my preference) because I like to make sure they’re very smooth, but some people prefer the rougher texture under foot. All the walls inside and outside the house were completely painted. We worked hard to figure out the color scheme. Oren has a great sense of color–he was such a great help in this process!!! I went with a simple gray and white for the exterior paint, which let the natural red brick and wood of the craftsman shine through! I’m so happy with the results–it makes the house look brand new!!! Then the Pearl team moved on to the garage/studio conversion. This was such an epic job I can’t even describe!!! As we began digging, we found that the old garage unit was missing a foundation! Because of city regulations, we couldn’t move any of the existing walls in the remodel, so Oren and his amazing team actually dug under the existing structure and installed a cement foundation!!! This was an epic undertaking and we followed the city codes very closely. Everything was done to code and done amazingly well! The results really speak for themselves, so look at the photos–I now have a 400 sq ft open plan self-contained studio I can rent or AirBnB for additional income! And finally, the team moved on to the backyard and patio! This involved knocking down existing brick wall and digging up 6ft deep concrete installed by the previous owner, which was a complete eyesore to the property! My backyard isn’t big enough to accommodate a bobcat, so the team spent weeks digging up this concrete slab with jackhammers and shovels! What was installed in its place is a beautiful firepit, garden wall, and a new cedar wood fence. They also installed pavers as footpath and new garden boxes for growing herbs. Oren also brought in a team to install a patio cover, which now provides beautiful shade for parties during the day! SOD Home Group did such a great job throughout the whole house, were so professional, and really went out of their way to make sure everything was the best. I had my home revalued shortly after the renovation and it skyrocketed in value because of the work from SOD Home Group. Finally, if you get the chance to be so lucky, ask to work with Oren. You’ll be thankful you did! I’ve worked with him for the past 18 months and I can say without a doubt he put his heart into the project and went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the results. He has impeccable taste, attention to detail, and a big heart for his clients - all winning combinations for a stellar project manager! He has a wonderful network of people who can get him the best deals on materials - he’s loved and trusted by his team! Oren follows up with his clients to make sure everything is working perfectly and to make sure you are truly happy with the result. Oren is a truly good, honest and hardworking guy and I’d work with him again in a heartbeat! I cannot recommend SOD Home Group and Oren and his team highly enough! Hire these people - they are good people who won’t let you down!

Recent Review: Overall, Lavish Gardens was an excellent experience!

Recent Review: I can only say one thing: Wow! I started shopping around for landscaping for my backyard 2 months ago. Right from the introduction to planning to execution to 'yet to finish and I have no doubts on it now', it has been a breeze. Lucas, the project manager, is super awesome! Starting from walking through the project requirements to discussing options, he has been super flexible. He explains things really well and his management/supervisory skills are too good. He makes sure to visit every day to ensure the crew is on track, the materials are in place and to check whether I am aligned with how the project has shaped up and if any changes are needed. I was skeptical on how the design would actually look on my backyard, but, I am super impressed with how things have shaped up. I am getting a combination of pavers, garden bed, water feature, turf...... done and I always like people when they understand the job requirement and are precise about it. The best thing I have been noticing right from the beginning is the attention to detail by Lucas and his crew. Furthermore, the work itself speaks to the experience. Overall, a great decision and I will remember the experience with enjoying the backyard with my family for a long time. Thanks Lucas (The project manager)! Thanks Michael and crew (The onsite crew)! Thanks Anne (The designer)!

Recent Review: With the great help of Oren from SOD builders, we are now enjoying our house much more than before and mainly the kitchen and back yard. In the kitchen part, we wanted to do a complete remodeling after looking at some beautiful jobs that they did in one of our neighbor's place. We met with Oren, the general contractor, and we were very overwhelmed with his ideas and experience. During the first meeting, Oren brought with him some samples of cabinets and he also provided us with great referrals of places where we can go and shop for what we exactly want to have for our home. For each of the things that we wanted to have, Oren always found a way to make it happen. At the end of the remodeling, it all came out spectacular! Oren and Michelle (his designer who come up with all the good design ideas) and their in field staff were very helpful too they will do their participation to make sure that the remodeling project will be completed on time, budget and they will make sure that we are completely pleased with the work. More than that, they even came back a week after the project was complete and all of that in order to make minor adjustments and some nice touch-ups that were required. In the back yard part, Oren and his landscape team renovated the hillside yard and gardens. We wanted to expand the back yard by few feet and to have a nice deck with BBQ area that will keep us happy at the evenings. Before that work, all this space was a complete mess with just grass and nothing else. Oren was able to design a nice deck and he included a big stone waterfall and fountain in the side of where the expansion is. In addition to that, he planted for us 7 fruit trees, a flat lawn area and the 15’x15’ long deck with nice shade, installed the new BBQ cabinet as well as wooden decking. The back yard area is now transformed into the best outdoor space we can ever ask or dream of. And all of that because of Oren and his team of landscapers and hardscapers. We're very pleased with the result! We would highly recommend SOD builders to anyone considering doing any work on their home.

Recent Review: The service of this company is complete. They provided a quote after discussions and a walk through of what we wanted. They had a person walk through the plant selection (and options). The gardeners were very polite and explained what they were doing. In addition after the planting they came back to replace plants which failed to take hold. I have no complaints.

Recent Review: I got a flyer in the mail and called Babylon Gardens Landscaping. Ron George was very thorough and detailed when he came out for the appointment. A week later I received the email pictures of a color design and it looked great. It's nice to see the garden before it's installed in color. GREAT JOB.

Recent Review: It went extremely well. Everything you read about Sue is true. She is a terrific communicator and makes certain what the customer expects is delivered, on time and at the agreed upon price. I highly recommend Pristine and would use them again in a heartbeat.

Recent Review: Removal of grass & dirt, took these items to back yard for composting and leveling of garden. Installed pressure treated retaining wall (supplied by us). Laid rock & sand base & installed pavers. Finished with sand filler, cleaned up after all was complete.

Recent Review: They are the absolute best gardeners I have ever had in my 25 years of having my garden. Carlos maintains and designs my garden as if it is his own. He knows plants and where to plant them. He has exquisite landscaping taste. And he is a wonderful and kind man who cares about plants, gardens and people. I recommend Palacios Gardening to everybody!

Recent Review: Jose was punctual, professional, and friendly. He did a spectacular job and, frankly, went above and beyond my expectations of the job. He stayed until the job was done (apprx 3 hours). I will definitely call on him again next time I need a lawn and garden professional and I recommend him to others.
