Good Looking Outdoor Cooking

We were happy to make the decision to hire Green Scene Landscape to build my landscape in my new house in Westcliffe, Porter Ranch. It was a hard to pick up a proper builder among so many choices in Los Angeles area. I made my decision on the facts as following:

Mr. Scott Cohen, the owner of the company, is the pivotal factor.  His reputation as builder, his experiences as California Manager of Garden Supply in Target, his continuing pursuing for the artist effects of landscape, his effort to improve the construction quality by offering expert witness testimony, his movie star-like TV show in garden design, his many publications about the garden and plants …

The Green Scene Landscape is a well-organized company. I visited their Design center in West Hill and found a very well-organized business. The impressive designs, the detail construction progress charts, the high-quality construction material samples, and the professional staff. 

My wife and I fell in love with the design right away when we saw the 3D image demonstration.  The perfect matching of the landscape with our house, neighbors, the street and shape of the yard itself in material, colors, balance, decoration, and plants… But there is a problem, the money. The cost is way higher than want we planned. Then next, with Mr. Cohen’s help, we tried to take off or replace some parts of the design. We tried very hard, but at last, nothing was taken away from the design because it wouldn’t be perfect without any part in the original design. Yes my friend, we have to learn to say no to ourself if want to save money sometimes. We kept the original design.

The construction has a systematic approach with quality finish. The construction crew is led by a foreman but also overseen by supervisor, manager, and Mr.  Cohen himself. The Green Scene paid great attention to detail, from corner to corner, from edge to edges, while working on the pavers, backsplash and countertops of the kitchen, flowers and plants. The extra expenses from upgraded and redo work was covered by Green Scene Landscape.  They were pursing perfect work over profit. The office staff was always available to help and answer all questions.

The only thing that may be considered as weakness is the turnround time of the construction. It took 9 months from design to finished project, with five months of paper work with HOA and City permitting and four months of construction. If you need a quick move-in service you may need to talk with Mr. Cohen in the first place

I will continue to work with Green Scene Landscape for my next project and I also highly recommend you to hire them too!
