Outerspaces

These two are amazing! Artistic, professional, creative, hardworking, flexible and incredbile with plants. They turned my modest, overgrown garden into a little, urban hideaway while working within my budget. If you need help in your garden, look no further. 415−867−2447

Outerspaces gardening has cared for our large (triple lot) rather formal garden for so many years that I can’t remember when they weren’t here. Eugenia and boxwood hedges, a fern area, roses, rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias and citrus, all on a steep hillside, presents quite a challenge to anyone. Despite keeping them on a rather austere budget they manage to keep it looking pretty good. I know that if they had more time in the garden it would be considerably better.
Steven is a no nonsense, get it done fast sort of guy. He is a knowledgeable, totally reliable and pleasant man. Having had some bad experiences with former gardeners it is reassuring to have Steven in charge. I have every intention to keep him there!

We have used Outerspaces for about three years now. Steven always is on time, gets the job done and then is on to his next client. We always are amazed at how good things look once he leaves, as well as how much he accomplishes in so short a time. He should increase his prices, as he is one of the best bargains going.

We love Outerspaces gardening and have been a client for more than 5 years. San Francisco is our 2^nd home now so we are away quite a bit. We never worry about our outdoor garden because Steven takes such good care of it. We are never disappointed with how it looks when we come home after being away. It looks good all year round.
Steven is thorough, knowledgeable, and dependable. He follows up and is always available for any questions or concerns we have about maintenance. We highly recommend using Outerspaces; you won’t be disappointed.

They deliver what we need for our tiny yard: consistent service and quality. If you want to be super artistic thats certainly possible, but they seem to respect the space and what you are looking for. I recommend.

they were terrible. i had the sod replaced within a year, the sprinklers they installed broke (after trying to repair a few times) and the patio they designed and installed I’m having ripped out. A patio with sharp stones and sand between the large gaps is great for ants, but not for little kids. the final bill was 30% over the estimate and the design was nothing special. yard looked good for a few months but was completely unusable because the patio was so awful. I learned a lesson, I should have never accepted the work and not paid the last payment. oh well.

Big, big thanks to Steven for getting my wildflower window boxes into tip-​top shape. My balcony is totally sparkling just in time for spring and I’m a very happy girl.

Looking for more than a «mow and blow», I contacted Outerspaces to tame the brush that was once our yard.
After leaving a message with Steven, he promptly responded and would be by with his partner to take a look and give us an estimate. I felt a bit embarrassed as I gave Rye & Steven the tour of the overgrowth that was our yard — but, hey, I had a newborn, you can’t blame me, right? — and the monster side hedge that needed MAJOR trimming. They came back quickly with an estimate and days later they had started work cleaning up the yard.
Far from a «mow and blow» operation, they did all of the trimming using old fashioned hedge trimmers. If you’ve seen our hedge, you know that trimming it by hand is a pain. They are rockstars in my book for doing it all by hand! After 2 half-​days of work, our yard was nice and neat.
The maintenance they provided was great too — we were concerned that one of the sprinklers was broken, so Rye found the faulty sprinkler and replaced the sprinkler head.
If you have questions on how to improve on your space, what to plant, where to plant, etc. Rye & Steven are very helpful and do a great job!

we have been using outer spaces for a couple of years now and they really do a great job. we are always really psyched when they come over and work their magic!
they are detail oriented, easy going, trustworthy [we had no problem giving them a key], and very reasonably priced. my wife, who is very particular, is even happy when they leave.
highly recommended.

been working with steve and rye for a couple years now, they do a great job at maintaining our garden here in the city and making suggestions for new planting additions. they are easy to get in touch with and reasonably priced for all the hard work they do. we have a fair number of plants to maintain and they always seem to make everything look healthy and happy in the yard! highly recommended!

I called them for a bid. It was $ 3000 dollars higher than the next highest bid for the same work. I don’t know how good they are — but $ 3000 more, really?

We were watering dead branches in broken pots until Rye & Stevan came over and transformed our rooftop deck into a beautiful organic garden, complete with Meyer lemons, peaches & nectarines, blackberries, herbs and flowers — all on a timed irrigation system. They not only replanted our pots but repaired and dumped the broken ones, did all the hauling and shopping, even got rid of our nasty rusted furniture and rearranged what we had to make a seating area and a peaceful rooftop oasis in the midst of urban construction. Rye and Steven explained everything they were doing so we could participate in nurturing our garden (even though we are branch waterers). They were respectful of our budget, were happy to add new plants on a whim (Now we want vegetables!), and they are also both very easygoing, sweet people — which always makes doing business a pleasure in my book. Go get an organic garden on your rooftop!

Rye & Steven are landscaping geniuses. They’ll turn your weeded out backyard into whatever you want be it simple or decadent. Call them, you know you want to!

This couple has done wonders with my yard. They have not landscaped they have created an artistic garden that grows natural. They have prunned all the fruit trees: Apple, Plum, Cherry and Lemon to perfection. They manage the irrigation system, lighing and design.
Often Rye and Stevan call with new fresh ideas to sparkle up the yard for events that they know we often have.
They truly provide organic solutions to inorganic restrictions.
Lastly, they never complain that there is a Kurly pooh in the back yard and even come when it is raining or they promptly reschedule if the conditions are not perfect for the work they were planning to do on the yard.
They bring all their own stuff and never leave a mess.
