“We’ve done so far 2 projects with Matt over the past few months at our house in Tiburon (for a total of around $40,000). We are very pleased with the results. Matt is very knowledgeable and passionate about his craft, much more that the typical gardener or landscaper. He’s willing to spend the time necessary to learn your needs, iterate with you on the ideas, and finally be closely involved through the project. His prices are also quite competitive.”

“After 50 years of a front yard of junipers and a 6 ft. Redwood fence, it was time to re-landscape before Thanksgiving and the rains begin. Farnsworth Landscaping worked from early morning till 10 PM at night in the dark and rain dealing with outdated irrigation pipes to get the job done. We now have a stone border creatively designed and an updated front tiered yard with a wide variety of beautiful colored plants and schrubes. Look’s like a new house. Thankyou Matt Farnsworth and crew for a job well done.”

“Matt is the man! Is there a way to put 6 stars? We were (currently still are while writing this review) performing some house work when we started looking up some landscaping crews to fix a known drainage problem in the yard before the rains came. Matt gave us a call back and came over the next day. He quickly identified what would need to happen and how they would perform the work. We explained a few other thoughts for the yard and he easily explained his thoughts on design and timing of each aspect. We agreed with the other work in progress to focus on the drainage issue with some tree removal and new screen plants. The next day he presented the bid for the work and let us know he could start the following day. Needless to say we took him up on the offer and the crew arrived the next day. Very clean in all the work they performed. Very professional with any and all of our questions while going through the process. Matt worked with us to select just the right screen plants and everything worked out beautifully. It has since started to rain and the drainage is easily 200% better. We will be working with Matt and his crew again on future updates to the yard.”

“I needed a full back yard makeover. Matt Farnsworth at Farnsworth Landscaping was willing and able to take on all aspects of my project (demo, drainage, irrigation, dry rot, design, stone work, and landscaping), and help me work within my budget. Where others had been intimidated, Matt was enthusiastic about it. Not only was Matt very competitively priced, he was able to guide me regarding what my budget could manage, what things could wait for “phase 2”, and how to make the most of my resources.
Matt’s knowledge is extensive with all phases of construction and landscape. His enthusiasm and willingness to collaborate made working together easy. His creativity and vision, combined with his ability to listen, are exceptional. He respected my budget, consistently making me aware when I was making a choice or change that would impact the bottom line. Matt made regular visits to my job site, always staying one step ahead of the next development. Even when things were wrapping up and I made last minute changes, Matt and his team were able to follow through and finish the project without any fuss.
The team assigned to my project were meticulous and talented artisans and incredibly respectful and reliable hard workers. The stone work is stellar. The drainage solutions incredibly effective. The irrigation is efficient and unobtrusive. The fencing is functional and beautiful at the same time. And the landscaping itself has balance, texture, and color. It’s truly beautiful.
The care taken with this project has been evident from the beginning. My yard is more than I was hoping for. It’s a sanctuary, a peaceful place that I love to hang out in. It’s balanced and serene, and makes everyone who sees it want to spend time there. I will definitely call Matt again when I’m ready for Phase 2.”

“We hired Matt to revamp our home’s landscaping. Matt and his team were excellent and would highly recommend Farnsworth Landscaping. They were responsive to requests. Developed a great plan. Worked extremely hard to meet a tight timeline (including working in tough weather) and was on budget. Matt is 5 stars!”

“Matt Farnsworth is smart, fast, professional, kind, creative, honest and a dream with whom to work. We met Matt on a Friday and by the following weekend, his team had transformed dead space into beautiful and sustainable small gardens around our house. His estimate held up, his team was on time, clean and polite - this guy delivered on all points. We are hiring him to do two more projects. Thank you Matt!”

“You will want to go with Farnsworth Landscaping if you want to hire someone who is not only knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, but someone who goes above and beyond to ensure clients are satisfied and happy.
We are in a unique situation. Construction of a two-story building directly behind our backyard replaced the mountain view we once had and created concerns about our own privacy. We needed to find a solution and someone who we could trust to give us advice about how to achieve our goal on a budget. We were very pleased with the outcome he created and landscape work he did.
Matt not only exceeded our expectations but was an advocate for us with the building development team. He accompanied me to multiple meetings with the construction team building the structure behind us and convinced the construction crew to add trees on the other side our fence. He knew what trees to ask for and negotiated placement.
Our backyard project ended a year ago but just this week he accompanied me to another meeting (with little notice) about the landscape behind our house. He also stopped to look at our progress of our trees he planted. Matt has been attentive and made himself available over the course of a year, making him a long-term partner in our project rather than completing our landscape and moving on to the next. Matt truly cares about his work and his customers.”
