  It’s been a few months since we worked with Farallon Gardens to design and install a whole new front yard in Berkeley that would comply with the new Zone Zero rules but still be beautiful and inviting. Mathew and his team transformed our messy, disjointed garden into a stunning unique space with a mix of succulents and perennials in a gorgeous array of colors, textures, and dimensions. They were extremely creative and knowledgeable, making softscape and hardscape recommendations that suited our aesthetic and complemented our home but would also work well in our microclimate. Mathew remained professional and communicative throughout the process. And the installation could not have gone any smoother. There were even a few plants that were not available at the time of the install that Mathew made sure to return to add when they did. He assured us that the garden would start to fill in in a few months and it has! Our new garden has brought us so much joy and we cannot recommend Farallon Gardens enough. P.S. Mathew, you were right about the cactus. The blooms are crazy beautiful and it is a favorite of ours and our neighbors.

  Professional, Knowledgeable, Artistic, Imaginative, Hardworking Everyone from Farallon Gardens is amazing. My husband and I have the front yard of our dreams. Mathew took our ideas into consideration combined with his artistic and horticultural experience/knowledge and created color and texture that is drought tolerant, low maintenance, and attractive to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies; all on a rocky hill that gets full sun all day. We are over the moon happy.

  We hired Farallon to design, install, and maintain a succulent garden for our home, and they have done an incredible job. It's now been a year and the garden is filling out with beautiful blooms. We get consistent compliments from our guests and neighbors. They really did a great job and I would highly recommend them.

  Fabulous, knowledgeable gardeners. Matt and his team have incredible knowledge about identifying and cultivating unusual or rare plants, and they are experts on identifying and effectively treating pests and other problems. Matt has an incredible artistic sense and I cannot imagine entrusting my garden (which I cherish) to anyone else. I trust his team completely—they are a pleasure to talk with and they require no supervision when performing maintenance, including planting new plants. I highly recommend Farallon Gardens to anyone who wants a beautiful, healthy, well-maintained garden.

  We had an amazing experience with Farallon Gardens! They renovated both our front and back yard and have completely refreshed and revived our home! The plants and garden design are absolutely gorgeous and we have had numerous compliments from neighbors and passers-by. They also added several thoughtful touches, like making a sweet fairy garden for our small kids (picture included)! On top of that, the team was extremely professional and efficient -- the project was completed quickly and with very little disturbance to our routine! I heartily recommend them to everyone!
