Drab to Fab was a great experience. I just explained some basic requirements I had in terms of water usage and ground coverage. They came back with a set of plant suggestions and a sketch of the layout. I went ahead with the landscaping a week and a half later. It was all done in a day, and it even came in a little under budget, which was a nice surprise. They also came back to see how my irrigation system was set up and made minor adjustments to make sure the new landscaping would thrive.
I am also having them come back to install a wireless irrigation controller for me. Something I've been wanting for a long time!
I highly recommend Kurt & Alec! Great work, and very responsive to my questions and concerns.

Drab to Fab took our distant dream and made it a remarkable reality!
Throughout the process, Kurt & Alec were responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. As we described our vision during an initial walkthrough, Alec prepared a visual representation of what our layout would look like. While the plans developed further later on, this is just one way straight from the beginning that illustrated they were always prepared and listening - so impressive!
In addition to being skilled visionaries, Kurt & Alec are delightful human beings and always carry themselves with cheerful and innovative style. I recommend them to anyone and everyone who wants to bring life to their landscaping and have a fabulous time while doing so.

BEST DECISION WE HAVE EVER MADE. I'm struggling to find words to explain the ethereal magic that Drab-to-Fab just performed on my home. We asked them to completely redesign the front and back yard of our single family home in Oceanside, and KID YOU NOT, in the mere 5 days it took them to finish this colossal project, several of our neighbors stopped by to thank us for increasing their property value. In other words, they all wanted a piece of this. Truly, I'm fielding requests for their contact info every time I leave the house.
Not only were they on point with design and budget, they were so professional, kind and fun to have around (especially after a year in isolation!) I firmly believe that they need their own show on HGTV. And when they get it, I'll be the first one knocking on their door, begging them to hire me. :)

Drab to Fab took our backyard from a dirt field to paradise! They did everything and did it well, from the sprinkler system and plant selection to our patio and fire pit. Would recommend 10/10!

Kurt and Alec are amazing to work with. They are extremely kind, helpful, and punctual. I showed them a rendering of what I wanted the landscaping to look like and they were able to take it to the next level. We had to make changes through the project, and they were able to provide design advice and make adjustments to make the project look incredible. They go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. I can tell they really care about their work and their attention to detail shines. I couldn't recommend them more. You'd be hard-pressed to find landscapers that are as great to work with as these guys.
