  Verne and his crew took my pitiful attempt at an Aquascape waterfall and turned it into an incredibly beautiful water feature. They used native rock, and California native plants to make it look like it has always been a part of the landscape. They were very knowledgeable, professional with great artistic vision. Great attention to detail, and meticulous in execution. They very carefully cleaned up after the job was completed. The photos don’t do it justice.

  Anyone needing expert landscaping services should begin their project by picking up the phone and contacting Verne Pershing. I contacted him initially last year to tackle a retaining wall area another contractor did for me but never worked right and wasnt landscaped so it was all clay. In fact I ended up having standing water issues. Verne, Juan and Rodrigo turned that area into a dry really nicely landscaped wall that has 2 tiers and continues to curve around my pool area. He put in great deer plants and a drip system. Just beautiful and so functional. So this year I called Verne to work his magic again. I have issues with my back and knees so getting around and watering everything is quite difficult. I have 2 acres and as I didn't need the whole thing landscaped I did need the area around the house landscaped and a drip system installed to keep everything green and growing. I had a pond in the front area of the house that had been worked on by several people but never work right. The original owner sunk a hot tub into the ground 30 years ago and it always leaked. I loved the pond it brought frogs in the spring and the sound of the water was pleasing. Verne suggested we pull down the old pond and build a new one close to my living room so that I can not only see it but hear it as well. I can go out my living room door and its just right there. Next to the new pond area I had a "lawn" of crab grass that was really nothing one could sit on. Verne transformed both areas into something really beautiful and calming. I have a gorgeous 3 level pond with fish that lights up at nite. He put in so many plants to accentuate the pond and a sprinkler system to keep everything growing. So beautiful!! He planted sod with a sprinkler system so now I can sit on the lawn if I choose to. The area where the old pond was has been landscaped as well. He left part of the rock as a connecting support to the retaining wall but did it is such a way that it all looks natural with beautiful plants and another drip system. Needless to say I would highly recommend Verne Pershing for any landscaping need that you might have.

  Verne has done a number of landscaping projects for me. He designed and built a beautiful waterfall feature, several rock retaining walls and gardens around my Swim Spa deck and several pathways throughout the property. His work is amazing and impossible to describe with just words so I am attaching a number of photos of each proejct. Most of these have now been in place over five years and look as good as the day they were built. Once a year Verne's team will come by and perform maintenacne on the waterfall feature which keeps it looking great and virtually eliminates any effort from me to maintain the landscaping. I would highly recommend his team for any landscaping project you might be considering.
