We had O'Connell Landscape remove our backyard vineyard and replace it with walkways, a beautiful water feature and a large assortment of plants with an emphasis on native and drought resistant species. We could not be more pleased with the results. The design was based on regular discussions and was modified as needed as the work progressed. The workmanship was top notch. The crew was clearly experienced and conscientious. Our yard was left clean and orderly at end of each day and of course at the conclusion of work. We are quite happy with our new yard.
Michael and his team were an absolute pleasure to work with for our backyard remodel. From the very beginning of the process O’Connell Landscaping provided extremely professional communication, reference materials, clear estimates and quotes, and scheduling. Once the project kicked off, every member of his team was respectful while on our property and the job was completed swiftly. Any issues or changes we requested, O’Connell was there to hear them out. We are very pleased with the final product. We can’t recommend O’Connell Landscaping enough for your next project.
I couldn't be more pleased with the landscape design and installation Michael and his crew completed for my front yard. This property is my childhood home that I now rent out, so creating something both beautiful and practical was important to me.From our first conversation, Michael understood exactly what I needed: a water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape that would look great while staying within my budget. He provided excellent options and advice, ultimately designing a plan that checked all my boxes without exceeding what I could spend.What really stood out was Michael's approach to sharing his expertise. He explained the plant options and design choices in a way that helped me make informed decisions. The result is a yard filled with my favorite plants that I know will thrive with minimal care.His crew was thorough and professional, completely cleaning up the existing landscape before installing the new design. The transformation has been wonderful, and I'm confident this landscape will serve my tenants well for years to come.I highly recommend Michael and his team for anyone looking for thoughtful, budget-conscious landscape design backed by real expertise.
We had a fantastic experience with O’Connell Landscaping! Michael listened closely to our ideas and created a design that beautifully balanced my natural, flowy style with my husband’s love of structure. Communication was top-notch—clear, consistent, and tailored to us with drawings, videos, emails, and in-person meetings. His team was prompt, respectful, and worked efficiently—even around a painting crew and through weather delays.They transformed our front and backyard with precision-installed flagstone paths, excellent irrigation and lighting, and plant choices that are perfect for our climate and style. The quality of work is outstanding, and Michael even replaced a couple of plants that didn’t take root. We are thrilled with the results and highly recommend them!
I had a very vague concept of what I wanted for my backyard re-do. Michael O’Connell, with O’Connell Landscaping, met with me several times to get an idea as to my future plans with my yard. He came up with a plan that outlined what I wanted, was within the budget I set, and perfectly matched the surrounding areas of our family property. Prior to the commencement of work, Michael and I met several times to review the plans to ensure a smooth start to the project.During the project, Ruben and Ubaldo were there every day! They were friendly and answered all my questions. The attention to detail was amazing to watch as the work progressed.My project took 3 months, and it was seamless. My yard is beautiful, and I feel I’ve added another room to my house.I recommend O’Connell Landscaping to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and detail-oriented company.
