Four Dimensions has been maintaining my large and diverse garden for almost five years. I went to them initially because of their expertise in native plants since I have a large collection of native plants – they have been excellent in this area. They have also decidedly improved the condition of my roses and camellias and do maintenance on other ornamental plants in my garden. They are reliable, knowledgeable, very efficient and a pleasure to work with. They have done a limited amount of plant selection for me as well with excellent results. I highly recommend them and particularly appreciate Garret who manages my maintenance team.
I was really excited about the prospect of working with a coop that values California environmental conscious design. From the beginning, I was transparent about what our budget was and was told to go through the process. To my surprise, it was at the $200 consult that I was informed they would not take our project or recommend vendors to work on our project. Why? It was too difficult, and they have a reputation to uphold. I was left with the impression that they would only consider taking the project at $ 160K to do things their way. It was a very disappointing experience. If you are a residential home with any budget, I don’t recommend even doing the consult because a lot of the information they provided I was able to find using AI. That is too bad. I hope to find a COOP that is interested in building CA native gardens for all budgets in Oakland, not just those with unlimited budget and a lack of terrain constraints.
I couldn’t be happier with the results from the Four Dimensions team!
My transformed garden far exceeded my expectations.
After meeting with several landscapers, Michael stood out due to his sensitivity to the property — the yard was overgrown and had been neglected for many years while the patio area was worn and outdated.
It was important to me to keep a few treasured items (mature trees and a beloved hand-built playhouse) that existed on the property. Michael listened to and understood what I was envisioning and developed a thoughtful design.
Chris, the project manager, implemented the construction and planting phase. He was a true professional. As I wasn’t able to visit the site often,
his daily written updates and photos made it easy to communicate and view the progress being made.The landscape team was friendly and amazingly efficient (even in the unrelenting rain).
Four Dimensions was able to deliver an absolutely beautiful backyard on time and within my budget. I highly recommend them.
Four Dimensions transformed my boring, weedy, lawn-covered lot into a lovely mostly natives garden with water features, seating areas and even a mini-orchard. Michael has a wonderful garden sensibility and plant expertise, and he and his staff know how to make your ideas and desires a reality. There are lots of landscapers out there but few with the talent and expertise that this company has.
We had a huge weedy backyard lot beautifully designed to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds by Four Dimensions. With a natural stone bench and an incredible sculpture find turned into a waterfall, everyday the garden is such a peaceful oasis. Each year the garden grows increasingly gorgeous and natural. We loved that Four Dimensions reused what was left in our previous neglected garden ,built a little hill, a patch of a lavender field. We love it so much. We also use their garden maintence service which is most likely why the garden is such a natural park like setting. If there is an issue with the irrigation or leaky water, they come right away. The garden crew is just so knowledgeable. If I sound effusive, after more than 8 years, the garden is still such a jewel and a peaceful retreat.
