Adam Wooley Landscape Design And Construction

Working with Adam Wooley was a phenomenal experience. Our project was not large, but it involved a number of different tasks: Removing rotted decking from upper patio, removing existing planters and bamboo trees, designing a plan for new patio, installing a stone tile patio, constructing a corner bench and raised planters, planting drought-​resistant plants, and installing drip irrigation system.
We interviewed a number of landscapers before selecting Adam, and he was far-​and-​away the most prepared, creative, knowledgable, professional, and good-​natured person we spoke with. At the outset, Adam was enthusiastic about developing a creative vision for our project and was able to come up with a design that both my husband and I loved (not easy). He was up-​front about costs and was able to work with us to keep the project within our budget, which we really appreciated.
Once the project began, it was clear that Adam’s quality of work was exceptional. His team was very respectful and meticulous, and the final product was even better than we had envisioned. Adam went above and beyond when he personally stayed late a couple days to make sure the patio tiles were perfectly cut and aligned, when he replaced some broken electrical parts on our pre-​existing irrigation system hook-​up, and when he helped us resolve some issues with our HOA. The project went a couple days longer than we had planned, but Adam was still able to meet our hard deadline to have everything done before the holidays.
Now that it has been a couple months since completing the project, we are still very pleased with Adam’s work. The irrigation system has worked beautifully to keep the plants in good shape, and we are happy every time we look out the window. I would highly highly recommend Adam Wooley and Wooley Landscape Design.

I found Adam on Angies list where he was highly rated. I spoke to him as well as a few other types of landscape designers /​architects. Several designers charge fees just for coming on site and providing ideas/​estimates but he doesn’t. Instead of paying for both designer and contractor, I thought working with Adam was like having a hybrid of both and thus better value (and execution). Adam and his team helped us redo our backyard — ripping it out and making it clean and modern with bluestone and cedar fencing. They also did stonework in front of our house rebuilding retaining wall, putting bluestone steps and installing new tree. I had a good vision of what I wanted and Adam also provided valuable suggestions and adapted to changes/​additional work we had along the way. His website also has lots of pictures of past work which is very helpful. Like most any construction project, we had a few hiccups along the way which made our project longer to finish than expected and we had to make some compromises, but overall we were very happy with the outcome and quality of the work. We turned space we never used into a pleasant low maintenance urban escape. When someone broke some stone work on our curb shortly after our project finished, Adam came over on a weekend to fix it. He’s very reasonable and easy to work with and we’re considering working with him again to fix our deck.

Adam redid out backyard (removed lawn, added stone patio, built stone steps) about five years ago. The work still looks brand new. He was a joy to work with (and we’re picky!) — flexible, reasonably priced, easy communication, project on time and on budget. Highly recommend.

My experience with Adam is not about his work, because unfortunately he was not even able to get to that point.
I had Adam come over to give me an estimate on a landscaping project (A pretty significant size), and he told me I would receive an estimate in about a week (Very reasonable). After about 2 weeks and no word from him, I reached out and asked if I would still be receiving one. He told me he was very busy and would have an estimate for me by the end of the week. It’s been about 1 month since he first came over and no word from Adam.
Adam seemed like a really nice guy, but I find it very unprofessional to not maintain contact and not even deliver on an estimate. If you are really that busy, why are you coming over to look at new projects? Most importantly, just keep your word on what you say you’re going to do…

I found Adam through AngiesList but since it wasn’t my account I am going to rave about him here. I selected Adam after getting two other proposals. With regards to landscaping, I’m learning finding a cost effective professional who does the design and installation is rare. Adam is all that and more! I had a little drama with the other condo in my unit and Adam was patient and great. More important is that design fit my aesthetic completely! And he did the installation himself since my yard was so small. I highly recommend Adam and can’t thank him enough!

I highly recommend Adam and his crew. They did very high quality work at reasonable price, collaborating, on time, clean and with good spirit. Practical and down to Earth, Adam, his brother and team seem happy doing their work and that shows in the final product. I appreciated the advice /​suggestions for my consideration. I never would have thought of several important items that have made my backyard so inviting and seemingly much larger than it was originally; talented use of the limited space. This included their suggestion (that I accepted) of building a 6×6 «bench» of sorts that also serves as a retaining wall and has a larger surface at the end — great aesthetic and practical seating and eating. These are the «go to» guys and should have a monopoly on backyard renovation in San Francisco.

Adam was a real find for our project. He collaborated well, had very good ideas, executed according to his plan and followed up perfectly. We had a major change to our back yard with creating a brick circle along with other changes. If we have any hardscaping work, we’ll definitely hire Adam as there is no reason to look elsewhere.

If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area and are looking for the world’s best landscaping design and garden folks, look no further. Adam and his crew are first-​rate, top-​quality — very talented, easy to work with, reasonably priced, and great all-​around. We’re thrilled with their work and totally recommend them for small, medium or big jobs. Wish we could clone them for all the other improvements we’d like to make to our home.
