Bernardo has that rare talent of being able to see the possibilities of a space.We had very little to work with - a small square plot along a steep driveway. Bernardo had the vision to see what it could be with integrated raised steel planters and imaginative plantings that provided structure, privacy, and grace.We call the new garden our outdoor living room and absolutely love hanging out there. Not a day goes by that we don’t feel thankful for Bernardo and his capable, friendly team for their beautiful work and creativity in transforming our small space into the favorite part of our home.
We used Latitude 37 to redo our back yard in Rockridge. Our yard is on the small side, so we really appreciated Bernardo’s create use of space. We’re not particularly garden-inclined, but knew we liked his aesthetic, so we gave him some elements we really wanted to have (dining space, relaxing space, and heat) and let him run with it. We could not be more happy with the outcome. The craftsmanship of the Latitude 37 team is incredible, from precisely cut stones to really impressive railings and custom steel planters. We use the space regularly, and it has become a gathering place for our friends and neighbors. We subsequently asked them to tackle our front yard, and we were equally pleased with the outcome. If I had a dollar for everyone who walked by and complemented the front yard, I could have paid for the whole project! We also use Latitude 37 for garden maintenance - the crew is reliable and professional - we always look forward to being in the yard after their visits.
We were blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Bernardo this past year on the complete redesign of our backyard. Bernardo's vision, attention to detail, eco-focused approach, and aesthetic were all impeccable. Our family never eats inside anymore, we relax and spend so much family time in the gorgeous space Bernardo created for us. We are so grateful.Not only did we get Bernardo's landscape design expertise but we also convinced him to create some of his one of a kind huge steel planters and a stone/steel table which are jaw droppingly stunning (in our opinion :))!
