Environmental Landscape Development

I love working with ELD. We feel lucky to have been introduced to Brad and family. They are so easy to talk to and work with and I’d recommend them in a heartbeat.

My son-​in-​law and daughter had a meeting with the owner and construction manager yesterday and it went amazingly well. I had seen the owner’s work on several occasions in and around La Canada Flintridge where we live and everyone is gorgeous. They did our son’s entire backyard in his first house and it changed the entire feel from an old So. Pas. traditional to a warm, party and Zen (yes, it could go both ways depending upon the people and the gathering) space. Their ideas for a pool remodel made the entire project come alive and feel very doable. I would suggest that if you are looking for dependable, kind, devoted landscape specialists you talk to them.

I am not sure who this Jane R is. She has written only 1 review and has no friends and ELD also don’t know who she is. I have recommended tons of jobs to my friends to work with the Lefebvre family for years and I have never heard a negative comment. Our backyard project is one of the most spectacular in the city of San Marino. They are not the typical briefcase contractors who sub contracts everything. ELD has their own crew and they are still doing repairs for free after 5 years for me. It will be a big mistake for anyone not to use ELD for their backyard project. Brad, the father, has great taste and knows what he is talking about.

Env Landscape Dev is an absolute pleasure to work with. We recently completed pool and exterior landscape redesign and they exceeded expectations in both service, design and workmanship every step of the way.
We met with ELD onsite prior to closing on a farmhouse with extensive property. Our vision was to add a contemporary pool and hardscape without sacrificing the natural essence of the property. Without hesitation, ELD understood the scope of work and added their expertise to the plan. Once receiving the go-​ahead from us they developed timelines and sourced materials exactly to our specifications and had their crew ready to go the day after closing.
ELD completed the bulk of the project within 6 weeks only to have us hold them up with additions to the original project. They were on target with budget, obtained all necessary permits & approvals w/​o incident and customer service outstanding. Our property is outside of LA and they always made themselves available for onsite meetings per our schedule.
We recommend ELD without hesitation for any projects you are considering.

Environmental Landscape is the best. They redid my whole backyard in record time. We thought it would take 8 weeks… it took 6. Not only does everyone RAVE about it, I’m absolutely sure that the yard is the reason why I just sold my house in under a week for well over asking.
The highlight of the yard was a hand made IPE wood bench. This is a tough wood to work with, and they made, quite literally, a work of art.
We’re already talking with ELD about work we need done when we move next month. I was surprised to see anything but absolute 5 star reviews, and I think «Jane R.» may be mistaken with which company she’s referring to. It doesn’t sound like the Enviornmental I know.

ELD will start working on your project immediately until they get a second payment from you, then they are on to the next job and won’t work on your project. Our pool was suppose to be completed in 6 months. We are now in our 10^th month because they work for a few weeks then don’t show up for a month. When they return they send one guy each day to work on a huge $ 500,000 project.
ELD is completely unreliable. They won’t give you a schedule or they will tell you verbally their plans and never follow them. They make a lot of mistakes that constantly have to be fixed. If they do concrete work, it will crack immediately. They insist that concrete always cracks upon pouring it, however, good well prepared concrete does not crack upon pouring. We have cracking in all of our coping around our new pool and it’s a month old.
ELD only likes to work on the parts of the project in which they make a lot of money on. They don’t work on the other areas. Each time you give them a payment, expect them to not show up for a month. They go to another project and work on it for a month and leave you stranded with construction. We have never spent so much money and been treated so horribly.
