Lush Planet Design Build

Mike and his crew are great. They built us a beautiful redwood deck in Monte Rio within two weeks of starting it. He listened to our desires and then we let him ‘loose’, kind of like you would with an artist you trust. He came through, we are very happy with the end result. I am certain we will have more work for them too.

We hired Mike Stokes to construct a retaining wall for our house in Monte Rio. Mike was very good in communicating the work timeline and estimate. He was able to stick to his estimate and have the retaining wall complete in the expected timeline. The wall looks great and was well constructed. We were very happy with the results and we look forward to using Mike on other house projects.

We started working with Mike and his crew in the Fall of 2013 on a house in Bodega Bay.
The house had a detached two car garage and needed a lot of work to address termite damage and general wear and tear.
Mike and his crew did all of the following for us:
1. Repaired all damaged areas of the exterior on both the garage and the house.
2. Replaced all external door hardware and two external doors.
3. Painted both structures.
4. installed a french drainage system
5. Replaced a retaining wall and designed a new pergola entrance.
His crew also helped with clearing out years of collected debris under the structures and on the property.
Throughout the process Mike was in constant communication with us. He kept us informed of progress with emails and photos of the work as it was being completed. He and his team showed a great deal of pride in the work they were doing. They did fantastic work and neighbors constantly stop as they drive by to comment on how great everything looks.
if you want a reliable and honest contractor that really cares about doing things right, Mike Stokes is the guy to call.
Here is a link to his YouTube site with a video about the pergola he built for us.

Thanks to Unilocal,I found Mike and agree with all of the positive reviews. He’s a great guy, who in addition to having a solid understanding of construction really understands the importance of aesthetics. We had a retaining wall that collapsed. Aware that cost was important, Mike found a brilliant way to both ensure the integrity of the wall while designing a structure that was pleasing to the eye without busting our budget. In addition, Mike generously shares his expertise. I had a few questions about some small projects that I was hoping to do on my own, and he patiently took the time to explain the bests way to tackle the work. I highly recommend Mike for any construction/​landscaping project. He’s honest and employs hard-​working affable workers to assist him. The project was completed sooner that we had expected, and the workspace was left in pristine shape.

We’ve worked with Lush Planet on a few different projects over the last couple of years and Mike has been great. He has an eye for quality and attention to detail that we fully appreciate. Not the cheapest but he stands by his work and is a good guy.
