In short we had an amazing experience. Jonathan, Bruce, and Oscar did an amazing job with the all of the details and the final design and the build exceeded our every expectations. They did an excellent communicating (and listening) to every question and modification. We are really happy we trusted the recommendations as each time our expectations were exceeded.We are now enjoying our backyard for years to come and worth every penny.Note: We we so happy with the work we kept adding new projects.

Just in time for Spring! I am so obsessed with my new backyard!! I came to Outdoor Makeover with a firepit idea. Jonathan came by and we brainstormed together and he came up with the most brilliant idea!! Together with Ashley & Daulton the dream team created my custom oasis!! Quickly and efficiently - the team communicated every single day and made sure I was completely satisfied with every aspect of the project. The pictures do not do it justice!! It is absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait to enjoy it once the weather finally breaks :)

The gold standard! Working with Jonathan, David, and Ivan from Outdoor Makeover and Living Spaces has been one of the easiest, most stress free projects I’ve done. During the consultation, we walked the space and discussed the project scope, consideration factors, warranty, and cost. They were very communicative and upfront throughout the whole process. The day of the install, the crew, foreman, and project manager met with me and did a walkthrough to discuss the plan before they began work. Throughout the day, they sent videos and updates on their progress. Cleanup was fast and thorough - they left my house the way they found it. At the end of the project, they did a final walkthrough and reminded me of the terms of the warranty. I’m so glad I chose this company; they took care of all the details so I didn’t have to.

The Outdoor makeover team did an excellent job in the landscape, deck staircase replacement and redesign project. Special thanks goes to Kasey(Designer/Sales), Charles (Project Manager), and Antonio (Execution team lead) who formed a perfect dream construction team. The level of commitment, attention to detail, and speed was exceptional. The project lasted ~ 2 months in total covering key stages such as planning, design, HOA documentation and design support, project planning and execution. I was very impressed with the level of expertise of the team and the extraordinary hardworking displayed by the entire staff. They even worked over the Christmas and new year holiday period to get the job done on time. I highly recommend this team, and plan on using them for another project this year. 5 star team!!Services: Deck installation, Deck remodeling, Deck design, Deck replacement, Yard landscaping, Landscaping design

I am super impressed by the quality of work, the communication, and the efficiency that outdoor makeover and living spaces provided. I want to shout out Shawn, Daulton, and Oscar. They are an amazing team. I love my stone retaining wall, my outdoor fireplace and my pergola that they built. Thank you!

Outdoor Makeovers of Atlanta, GA recently completed a drainage solution followed by landscaping to counter the flooding damage done to our back yard. Shawn Ford (Designer) and Silvano Lopez (crew chief) did a great job! Shawn was professional, responsive, and pleasant while keeping us informed all along the way. Silvano was an outstanding crew chief who focused on customer satisfaction. I think it’s important to note that in addition to doing great work, the Outdoor Makeovers Team thoroughly cleaned-up after themselves when the job was completed. Well done! We will definitely use Outdoor Makeovers in the future.Services: Yard drainage, Backyard landscaping, Drainage solutions

We're a repeat customer, and the second project was just as good as the first. The amount of care, communication, and expertise is completely unmatched. Mike and Bruce were true professionals and handled our constant changes with grace and a smile. Could not have asked for a better group to work with! If you want the best landscaping crew in Atlanta, Outdoor Makeover should definitely be given a call!

Would highly recommend Outdoor Makeover for landscaping and design services! We love our new backyard!!The quality of work and design are top notch which is consistent with the feedback received by many other reviewers on here. This was the main reason I opted to go with Outdoor Makeover because I wanted to ensure my investment was going to be done right and last a long time.Great companies are measured by how they handle things that go wrong rather than how they handle projects that run smoothly. In my case, after a positive design experience with Kasey, the initial crew that was assigned to my project did not meet timelines or provide the level of service I expected from Outdoor Makeover. This was problematic for me as I had planned an event at my house based on the timelines provided by the OM team. As soon as I provided this feedback to Chuck (Project Manager) he apologized, committed to making it right, and got a new crew over to my house the next day. Antonio and his team were phenomenal and they worked side-by-side with Chuck putting in 12 hour days over 48 hours to make up for lost time and get the project completed in time for my event. Chuck even added some additional touches to my project like lighting (pictures below) that really took it to the next level. For me, this experience is important to share because things happen but how companies respond can make all the difference. In this case, Outdoor Makeover went above and beyond to exceed my expectations. I will definitely be using them again!Services: Landscape design construction, Custom landscape design

Jonathan and Bruce did a tremendous job helping my wife and I completely redo our yard. They were able to take what we were hopeful for, combined with their expertise, and create a very detailed plan and visual. They organized all aspects of the process, and showed great patience as the inevitable challenges arose. We felt very taken care of from start to finish. We are so pleased and would surely recommend them to all.

I had a vision of what my backyard could be, and I described it to Bruce. He went way beyond what my mind could imagine and designed the most beautiful backyard in this side of Cobb County! Neighbors and friends come over and brag about how beautiful the backyard is! It was great working with John, and watching the expert Yovani so great work. Bruce has a passion about beautification and I’m so happy to have found Outdoor Makeover! I highly recommend them!

John, Antonio and Chuck took great care of our needs. The yard looked like something from a war scene before they started. Now it looks much like French Courtyard, as my wife puts it.They projected three weeks and it took just over two, even with inclement weather. Great job, guys!!!They’ll be doing our front yard in May. We had a delay due to some issues with utility lines.Services: Landscape design construction, Driveway landscaping, Landscape design

Great experience! We met with Navid for the initial consultation. He was very thorough and gave us ideas for the backyard we never considered. The consultation was well worth the cost, and because he helped in the design process, the finished product was better than I initially expected. The initial design was a bit more expensive than we were willing to pay so Navid worked with us to get the design within our budget. We actually settled on a design a bit below our budget, and he advised us to budget an extra X% for unknowns that could happen while under construction. That was really helpful because as the project progressed, there were a few additions and changes that really helped make the finished product better than expected. Once the project began, Navid stayed connected and I saw him regularly. When the crews arrived without Navid, each of the different leads he assigned for demolition (Ivan), construction (Gerardo) , and the landscape (Giovanni), had intimate knowledge of the project which put me at ease. The design was clear to everyone on the project. Prior to wrapping up each day, someone made contact with me, asked if I had any questions, and let me know what was happening the next day. The project was mostly completed within a week which I thought was really quick for completely demolishing and rebuilding a back yard and porch. There were a couple of things that needed to be fixed at the end. Navid continued to be very responsive and fixed everything quickly. He really saw the project through from start to finish, and even after completion. The only downside was they were so busy at the time of our project, we had to wait a while before everything got started. However, it was worth the wait.

We contacted Outdoor Makeover for a total makeover of our front yard and courtyard. Makeover sent us Jonathan, Bruce and Daulton to do the job. These are super guys to work with. They are prompt, efficient, and do exactly what we agreed to have OM design and build for us. They even contact us after the job is completed to make sure everything is okay and need follow up. We recommend this company to anyone considering a re-do, up to date look for their home.

Our entire experience with Outdoor Makeover has been fantastic. Starting with the design through implementation. Chuck and Antonio were incredible. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with they also were so knowledgeable throughout the project in bringing not only our design to life but even better!

We're meeting so many new neighbors as they stop to compliment our new backyard! We have a tiny backyard with a large drain and grass that was always water logged when it rained. We worked with outdoor makeover & living spaces to design a beautiful new bluestone patio, underdecking with fans and lights, new drainage for the yard, a really lovely dry creek feature, landscaping a side path and lighting. We did it *all* and I'm so glad we did. Prior to this work our backyard was barely functional, now we can't wait for the weather to be less HOT so we can spend more time out there. Everything turned out beautifully, the yard feels so much bigger, and working with Sam was easy. I'll be honest, given the demand for work right now it was a bit of a pain to get it scheduled from the start, but once they were on site they were amazing, professional and fast. Would certainly recommend.

We can’t say enough great things about this company! From our very first meeting with Navid and Chris where they made our (very vague) vision come to life on paper, Outdoor Makeover has exceeded our expectations at every turn. They are fast, incredibly hard working, and their work is simply top-notch. But perhaps most importantly, they listen to their customers and check in at every stop of the process, making adjustments throughout to make sure that their customers are completely satisfied. If you are looking for a company to reimagine your outdoor space, look no further - I promise that you will not be disappointed.Services: Patio design, Outdoor step construction, Stone masonry

We are blown away with our results from Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces. We had a monster of a job. We needed fencing, major grading and landscaping, we needed to replace a 30 year old rotten deck, add and replace several retaining walls, remove trees, and add lighting. Originally met with our designer Jon who came to our house and had some incredible ideas for our space. He was extremely knowledgeable, listened to our wants and needs and created a design within our budget. (Something several other companies failed to deliver, with outlandish quotes for minimal work). After nailing the design with Jon, we worked with our Project Manager Daulton and Foreman Oscar who executed the design perfectly. They were thorough yet quick. Even adjusting to several last minute changes we made. They were all extremely professional and communicative. Right off the bat they created a group chat with all parties involved so everyone was on the same page with every step of the project. Updates were provided with detailed videos and photos. Anytime I messaged the group thread responses were extremely prompt. Again, I can’t thank Jon, Daulton, Oscar and team enough for their hard work. The results are unbelievable (pictures to come). I love that we were able to work with 1 company to accomplish all of our needs. I would highly recommend them. I can’t believe we were able to get our dream backyard in such a quick amount of time.

We had a beast of a project, overgrown backyard with a mosquito colony. Jonathan, Daulton, and Oscar’s team knocked it 5 days. They were great to work with and very receptive to our feedback. Highly recommend them!

My family and I can't thank Navid and his crew enough for all the lovely work they were able to do to transform our backyard inside out. Since the time we purchased the house few years ago, we were craving a flat yard but it never materialized due to poor grading by the builder and limited options to work with at that time. All that changed wonderfully well since the time we initiated our kickoff meeting with Navid, who took the time to carefully define a few options and possibilities, and laid out potential plans that would blend with what we were wanting to do versus what could be done.Once his team got to work, it was like poetry in motion. They paid careful attention to detail across several aspects, from defining a creek bed and appropriate retaining wall design, to length/breadth/width measurements through the install process, and devising a drainage system that would best fit our home's need based on the neighborhood setting and slope lines. The crew paid special attention even to the small but important things: cleaning up after meals, ensuring no trash lying around from their day's work, starting early and wrapping up much later in the day to get as much achieved in meticulously and patiently, and much more.The yard, post grading and soil install, provides the perfect balance that our yard desperately needed. This, combined with a full round of mulch and pinestraw install and a thorough cleanup post work completion, was a treat to watch. Great service and commitment combined with a strong work ethic made it a delightful experience. The periodic checks from Navid ensured work was progressing as planned, despite some weather hindrances along the way. Navid would regularly converse with us on plans and options, and any roadblocks that arose and their mitigation plans. Everything was handled in a through manner. We also got some rework done of our enclosed patio in the process and we can't thank the team enough for it.Thank you for everything Navid and team! Keep rocking!

The Outdoor Makeover team was great. We had our side yard and back yard regraded and drainage fixed and a lot of overgrowth and vines removed. We also had multiple types of fencing put in various places in our yard. Daulton and Oscar were with us every step- Oscar’s team took my near-daily adjustments in stride and problem solved with my husband and me when one fence didn’t look quite how we wanted it to. Daulton was available via phone immediately and always willing to work with me to find the exact match for what I wanted when I needed to adjust something. They gave me a proposed timeline of 2.5 weeks, but finished in 2. I am very satisfied with how our yard turned out.

This company is a game-changer! Unlike previous confusing estimates, they simplified the process and tackled the root cause of my backyard water issues. Their expertise and commitment to solving problems impressed me.Now, thanks to them, my yard will be both functional and worry-free. Highly recommend!

Navid and crew do excellent work. My backyard was a mess and I had bad drainage problems. They fixed the drainage with some grading, a retention wall, and a dry creek bed. I also had them add a patio and some nice lighting. The work is great! His team is responsive and professional and were in-and-out quickly. Navid gave me numerous walkthroughs and project updates as the effort progressed.

This was my first major home project and Outdoor Makeover couldn’t have made it any easier. Big shout out to Jonathan Goldsmith and Daulton Cole for putting together an excellent plan and crew (while putting up with me…) Everyone was incredibly friendly, communicative, and delivered on their promises. I look forward to spending time and making memories with friends and family in the space Outdoor Makeover helped make a reality. Highly recommend!

The Outdoor Makeover Team created our dream backyard space. When we initially met with Navid for our consultation, all my husband and I told him is that we wanted a backyard space for our two young children to enjoy. Not only did Navid keep that in mind, he also incorporated a beautiful design that turned our barren backyard into a retreat that the whole family fell in love with. Throughout the entire project, Navid and his team were easy to communicate with, worked around our schedule for meetings, and were extremely patient with our young children tagging along for meetings and walk throughs. They were also very detail oriented and their craftsmanship was spectacular. This spring, we will be using them again for a small project for our front yard.

Jonathan and Daulton did a fantastic job on a project that involved installing new stone stairs and altering the drainage plan at my home. They were extremely thorough in their proposal, as well as knowledgeable and professional. I obtained multiple quotes for this project and their price was competitive and fair. They kept me updated with daily progress. I highly recommend them.

Before hiring Outdoor Makeover, I was pretty happy with our yard. It had a certain rustic charm, and to me it looked like a ruggedly drawn storybook illustration. My husband, on the other hand, was pretty adamant that we needed to make some changes. Fast forward to today, and I couldn't be happier. Our yard looks like an oasis - every time I look at it, I instantly feel a sense of calm...and it's 1000% more functional for the needs of our family.The things that made our experience with Outdoor Makeover top notch are:1) The work quality and attention to detail of Navid and his team were evident at each step of the project, from tree removal, to the size/height/angle of our stone retaining wall in relation to the rest of our yard, down to the final punch list.2) How quickly the transformation occurred3) Navid was very present and responsive from our initial meeting all the way through to the end of the project. He had good suggestions for how to achieve the yard we desired within the price point that we needed and when we weren't aligned on certain design ideas, he was very flexible with trying to bring our vision to life. He was also great about making sure his team was in complete alignment with the daily tasks. They huddled up at least 2 times per day to walk the yard and discuss project status.When we first started searching for landscape companies I found it a bit discouraging that Outdoor Makeover was the only company with above average ratings. We usually like to compare 2-3 options but we couldn't find a comparable second option to even consider. I am glad we took a chance after our second meeting with Navid. We look forward to working with Outdoor Makeover again in the future.

Had a great experience with these guys. Jonathan gave us a killer design and worked through iterations with our budget. Bruce made sure the site was laid out and came out perfectly. Silvano and team knocked out what I assumed was 1.5 weeks of work in 3 days. The team communicated in person and at the end of every day with video progress through WhatsApp. Top notch professional operation.

Contracted a big project to build an outdoor kitchen and covered patio. Some things initially weren’t built quite right but they stood behind their work and made it right in pretty short order. Our project manager, Chuck, was a great communicator and very reasonable throughout the project. Geraldo did all the plumbing, electrical and carpentry and was an expert at his many crafts. He was also very helpful in mocking up certain aesthetics to help my wife visualize the final product. Finally, the sales rep, Jonathan, was very diligent in his communication and follow up as we ironed out details and scope of work.

Outdoor Makeover is the best landscape company in Atlanta! Brandon Ryan was my consultant and working with him and his crew made my project a smooth and easy experience. Brandon and his team went above and beyond to make sure I was kept informed throughout the project and I was provided with all the information I needed to confirm going with Outdoor Makeover was the right decision.If you’re looking to transform your yard with amazing hardscape and beautiful plants, look no further than Outdoor Makeover. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Oh, and one bonus was that the crew kept the worksite extremely clean after each day and they also film progress and send it to you so you can see your project come to life! Thanks again, Outdoor Makeover.

Navid is great to work with because he has a good vision of how a final project is going to look from beginning to end. He is professional, and all of his staff were meticulous. My photos don't do it justice because they were taken over the winter before a lot of plants started rooting and blooming. What's great about Navid is his understanding that hardscaping the yard is much more important that simple plant installation. I highly recommend him for projects large or small.
