Kurt and Alec have been really great to work with. They provided a very well broken down quote to re-sod my yard and refresh the garden beds. In order to make the project a success, they interviewed exterminators to help us with our gopher problem and connected us directly with their best recommendation. For the yard install, they had a small, professional and friendly team. I did not have strong opinions on what plants I wanted and they somehow hit the nail in the head: they re-edged the garden beds with a clean, simple edging, and planted a bunch of butterfly plants bc I had made an off-hand comment about a butterfly garden! They have followed up on the sod and have updated our sprinkler system so that we have the best chance of keeping our new lawn green and beautiful. I will definitely contact Drab to Fab about future projects.

Drab to Fab is amazing! In just one day they transformed our space into a highlight of the back yard. We can’t take our eyes off it! From design consultation to completion communication flowed, ideas flowed and work flowed. They even fixed our sprinklers which was not part of the original plan! Do yourself a favor and call them, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks guys- you rock!

Kurt and Alec delivered the best experience I could have hoped for in renewing my backyard landscaping. They cleared and removed an overgrown area and brought it back to life with drip irrigation and drought tolerant plantings. Unforeseen issues that arose were addressed with professionalism and they always came up with a workable solution. Although they were slightly higher in cost than other estimates, their detailed and quick responsive to questions/concerns won me over, and I am very pleased with the result.

Drab to Fab did a great job installing a gravel pad and assembling an outdoor storage shed in my backyard. Would highly recommend them!

We are so pleased with our new landscaping from Alec and Kurt of Drab to Fab. It's a small yard in Rancho Bernardo, mostly consisting of 2 long planters across the back and side. We were worried that we wouldn't be able to find someone good to re-design our yard since it was a fairly small project. From the beginning, Alec and Kurt listened carefully to what we wanted, gave great suggestions, modified them as we made decisions together, and the result is wonderful. They worked around our existing fruit trees, re-designed the irrigation system adding a great new wireless sprinkler controller, planted and mulched, and the result is just beautiful. The whole process was painless and enjoyable, and it was easy to see how much joy they take in pleasing their customers. We recommend them highly!
