Simple Outdoor Living is a design-build landscaping company in Irvine offering hardscape, softscape, lighting, and irrigation solutions. The process typically begins with a consultation and renderings to align expectations before construction.
Design-first approach with clear plans and renderings. Coordinated project management from layout through finish work. Attention to material selection and HOA documentation when required. Consistent communication reported by many recent clients.
Serving Irvine and greater Orange County, including Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Mission Viejo, and Yorba Linda.
Services include: design consultations and 3D renderings; paver patios, driveways, and walkways; raised planters, stone veneer, and wall caps; landscape lighting; irrigation and planting plans; front and backyard makeovers; and HOA submittal-ready plans.
Customer feedback highlights clear design communication, including helpful 3D renderings and guidance on materials.

Homeowners frequently note responsive project managers and cohesive results across hardscape, lighting, and planting. A smaller number of comments cite slower follow-up on minor post-project items.
Hired Simple Outdoor Living to do our landscaping at our new home construction. Their speed and quality of work is good.My issue with them was after they finished the job and collected payment, their plant they put in died just a couple weeks later. I reached out and asked for advice. I even asked if I should just hire a gardener to come replace it. Coleman made it seem like they would come back and fix it. I was even willing to pay for it. He kept saying they'll be back for weeks and then would go silent. Now its been several months and he has stopped responding.Just a little transparency and communication would've handled the whole situation. I just paid for new landscaping including underground water system and yet the plant is dead within weeks. If you don't want to come back and replace it, at least tell me rather than making it seem like you'll handle it and then disappear without responding.
If I could leave 10 stars instead of 5 I would. This was a wonderful company to deal with. I have a small back patio that needed some work. Bryan came out to the house and after input from me and his great suggestions, Allan then drew up plans that could be easily submitted to my HOA for approval. Following that, I worked very closely with Coleman and his team with construction that involved pavers, raised planters with stone veneer, and wall caps (also great for additional seating). At the end of each day the workers would clean up the mess on the patio, as well as the street in front of the house. Always considerate of my neighbors, too. The work (hardscape and plants and trees) was of high quality. I would use them again in a heartbeat!
We recently had to completely redo our landscape after our fire insurance was dropped, and we hired Simple Outdoor Living based on their online reviews. Our project involved a full makeover of the front yard, including hardscape, softscape, lighting, and a sprinkler system.From the very beginning, Bryan impressed us with his professionalism. He created a 3D rendering of the design and patiently worked through multiple revisions until we were completely satisfied. He provided a reasonable quote and stuck to the timeline, which we greatly appreciated.Coleman, the project manager, was equally impressive. He was professional, skilled, and incredibly patient. He accommodated all our requests, even last-minute additions and changes, with a positive attitude.Thanks to the hard work of this team, we now have a stunning landscape that we absolutely love. Our experience with Simple Outdoor Living was outstanding, and we would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and talented landscaping team.
We had an incredible experience with Simple Outdoor Living for our design-build landscape project, thanks to Bryan and his dedicated team. From the initial conceptual design and lifelike renderings, which helped us visualize the final outcome, to the meticulous material selection process with Bryan at the showroom, every step was seamless and insightful.Bryan was always available to answer our questions, ensuring our ideas were incorporated before submitting the project drawings and 3D renderings to the HOA. Their comprehensive knowledge of our neighborhood's HOA policies, including approved lighting and plants, resulted in our project receiving approval on the first review.Coleman managed the project impeccably, offering a professional, personable service. His visit with us to the nursery for plant selection, along with his detailed explanations, truly stood out. The team skillfully accommodated our additional requests, and we are grateful to Coleman, Jhonatan, and the entire team for their outstanding service.The final result exceeded our expectations. Our chosen plants, efficient irrigation system with timers, and low-voltage lighting system were implemented with precision and responsibility, all programmed expertly by Coleman. We are thrilled with the beautiful transformation of our landscape.After observing recent projects in our neighborhood, we genuinely believe that our front yard and private outdoor seating space are the best, providing a relaxing sanctuary adorned with stunning plants.Thank you, Bryan and your design team, and a special thanks to Coleman and the construction team. We couldn't be happier with our decision to partner with Simple Outdoor Living for our beautiful landscape project. See the stunning results for yourself!
To start with, Bryan the owner of Simple Outdoor Living showed up on time to our estimate appointment. After the estimate he gave us a timeframe that his crew would be available to get the work done, and it was done even a little bit sooner. The crew showed up on time, did great work, very professional, were always very nice, and cleaned up at the end of the job daily.These guys were excellent to work with! Their hardscape and landscape designs were wonderful. They listened to what we were looking for and provided a layout of the project.The Project Manager, Coleman was amazing and communication was on point. He went out if his way to ensure everything was going as planned and working correctly or even an extra trip to make sure lighting was aimed at the trees just right. We didn’t make many changes to the plan, but we did add a few things as the project transformed and Coleman incorporated last minute requests without blinking an eye and had great suggestions along the way if something needed tweaking as things came up.We couldn't be happier with our finished project by Simple Outdoor Living.I would recommend Simple Outdoor Living without hesitation and will be contacting them for future projects.
