Hillside Nursery & Landscaping

Bruce is absolutely wonderful to work with. I met with several local Petaluma landscapers and instantly clicked with him. On the initial walk through of our backyard project, he spent more time than anyone talking with me about what we wanted to do. I knew he was going to be great to work with based upon his knowledge, experience, and communication.
We had Bruce do a design plan to scale and accepted his competitive proposal, which included an area of sod, a raised vegetable garden, kid-​friendly plants and trees, and a complete irrigation system. His crew was friendly, hardworking, and efficient. Bruce and his foreman kept me informed of the daily progress and overall schedule. They completed the project on time and it looks so amazing! It’s hard to pick my favorite part of our yard — the Japanese maples that Bruce grew himself, the custom redwood raised vegetable area, or the lovely butterfly garden for our daughter.
I recommend that anyone looking for a landscaper with vast expertise and great attention to detail contact Bruce. It was a truly wonderful experience working with him. We look forward to future projects with Bruce and Hillside Landscaping.

I have worked with Bruce on several projects. He is competitive and very complete with his work. He communicates well with the client and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is happy. Bruce is very knowledgeable when it comes to species and design and will do everything it takes to create a masterpiece. He is high on my list for sub contractors that I feel confident recommending.

Bruce is great to work with and knows his business. They renovated our yard for drought tolerant climate appropriate and native grasses and shrubs.

Just want to echo what the other reviewers have said about Bruce and his crew: competitive bid, beautiful, quality work and attention to all the details, constant communication about what it was we really wanted, and a real willingness to take on a challenging brick design. Bruce is an extremely approachable and thoughtful person, and his crew is thorough, polite, and pleasant to have around. Would definitely work with him again.

We interviewed many people for our project and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the work Bruce and his crew did for us! We had a vision in mind and Bruce was the only one who was able to really listen to our wants and needs and implement the results to perfection! I was also amazed at how quickly and efficiently they worked. I have never worked with a crew that actual kept to the time schedule. Lastly, Bruce is a very special person who not only takes pride in his art of landscaping but for his clients. Our beloved dog had passed away just as they were finishing the job. He met with my children who were very heartbroken at his nursery and helped them pick out a special tree in honor of our dog. He then planned a day and came to our house and lead a special memorial, planting the «Henry» tree… There are not enough stars for me to rate the service I received from Hillside Nursery!!!

This was a long awaited project and I wasn’t disappointed. Bruce bid the job competitively and then took the time to do it well. He put us in touch w/​a landscape designer saving us the time and effort in finding someone competent. Both she and Bruce were knowledgeable and efficient and had a focus on California native/​dought resistant plants. His workers were friendly and particularly patient with my yellow lab. We may have some follow-​up work in the future and it feels good to have Bruce as a resource we can count on. I also liked that we used a Petaluma-​based company :).
