    Really great experience to work with Alex. His team are the best in their respective crafts and the backyard is exactly the way we hoped it would turn out. He was wonderful about handholding us through the process of choosing material and design. Alex was in high demand and had multiple projects running concurrently. No matter how busy he was, he ALWAYS found time to answer any questions we had during the project. We always felt important to him. I’m happy we chose his firm to work with and would recommend to any of my close friends and neighbors.

    We redid the back and front yard. Alex managed the job from demolition through to the finished product. He had the same crew on the job from beginning to end. They came at the same time every day, worked diligently and respectfully every day and did a terrific job laying pavers, relocating an outdoor bbq that had been attached to the house, moving a fire pit, setting up a water feature and handling the planting and hydration of the softscape. Alex patiently listened to our ideas and scripted a proposal that was detailed in terms of time and price. The completed job was within 10% of budget (no surprises here as Alex kept us informed when we made changes to the original plans) and finished on time. Wed recommend them unconditionally.

    OC West did an amazing job with our landscape project which entailed demolition and a complete overhaul of the backyard. Alex helped us redesign the yard to accommodate a new pool and spa, added a bbq island, installed new flooring, plotted a new garden layout to increase privacy, incorporated vegetable gardens, installed a complete irrigation system and laid out a comprehensive landscape lighting scheme. Alex managed the timeline of activities very well and we found him to be very professional and easy to work with. He is a good listener and has a kind heart. His team is highly skilled, hardworking, and reliable. We highly recommend OC West. It was a pleasure to work with the entire team.

    Alex did an amazing job on our backyard. Right from the initial design planning till the completion of the project he was always accessible, addressed all our queries and concerns in a very timely manner. We were extremely happy with our interaction with Alex and his entire team during this project. His initial budgeting for the project was spot on and he finished the entire project within the initially quoted budget even though we increased the height of our waterfall midway through the project (but he did not increase the price for the waterfall). He was also very helpful and patient when we were selecting the tiles, color combinations, plants etc during the entire project. We are very happy with Alex and his entire team. Our backyard now looks very beautiful, just the way we wanted it. We have received a lot of positive compliments from friends and family, about how great our backyard looks. Dont hesitate to give your next project to Alex and OC West Landscape. Alex and his team will do a terrific job!!

    We hired Alexs OC West to design and construct our Hidden Canyon home landscape last Spring. The overall experience was great. Alex is a great designer. Everything he put together for us is very high quality and beautiful. We were away from home a lot during the summer, but that was not a problem at all. His project crew did a great job to make his design a reality. Also, there was no hidden cost and everything is done very professionally. We are very happy to have selected Alexs firm to be our landscape contractor.

    We purchased a home that was built in 2006 with a front yard and back yard that looked like it was constructed back in the 1980’s (built by prior owner), so we consulted with several landscape architects around OC to help us design and rebuild our outdoor amenities to upgrade the curb appeal of our house, as well as modernize our backyard.Alex and the team at OC West were extremely professional and great to work with, throughout the entire design, build and landscaping process. We initially engaged several groups to come up with designs for our front yard and back yard, and asked Alex to revise a design that we didn’t like from another studio. What impressed us was that Alex really took time to listen to our ideas and understand how we wanted the front yard and back yard to function for our family before he came up with an intuitive and forward thinking design concept. Before implementing his ideas, Alex had several in person consultations with us to discuss cost, timing and scope of work in each phase of the design build process, so we remained in constant communication with the OC west construction teams and had control over the execution plan.The construction teams that Alex works with are all extremely professional, courteous and worked well around our daily routines of living in our home while construction work was ongoing. We sincerely appreciate Alex and the team at OC West for helping us build out our place of refuge where we can spend quality time connecting with family and friends. Alex’s trustworthiness, integrity and thoughtfulness definitely translated into a very high-level workmanship & quality of work that rivals world-class boutique hotels and luxury residences that can be found in West LA & South County OC.

    A BIG thank you goes out to Alex at OC West. I had been pondering my front yard project for years, with really no idea on how to go about making my front yard dream come true. Over the last two years I spent multiple days getting quotes from landscaping companies in and around Orange County with no luck on making a decision to proceed. That is until I met Alex owner of OC West. He came out, spent a good portion of his day listening to me go around in circles on what I wanted. He took the time to listen and help me with ideas for my space. His communication throughout the process put me at ease. I am so so happy with the outcome and now my front yard is the showcase of my neighborhood. My backyard is my next big project and I will 100% go with OC West again.

    I worked with OC West (Alex) on my backyard project a couple of months ago. There are many things I liked working with Alex. Of all things, Alex was very professional and thorough explaining what to expect and what I should know. He personally took me to many warehouses so that I could actually see and feel the materials he explained. Also, Alex was really transparent about the cost and the quality of the work performed by his crew was outstanding. Highly recommend.

    OC West is great. I highly recommend working with them for your landscape design and needs. The owner Alex is very professional and responsive! We moved into a new build with no yard and Alex was able to design a layout that worked best for our family and budget. He has tons of great ideas and is very dependable.

    Alex helped us to design a full front yard remodel for our home. From conception, to design, to demolition, build and finally planting and finishing touches, he was a partner with us. Alex is excellent at communicating and has impeccable taste. We truly valued his opinion as we made decisions along the way of our project. He listened to our desires and helped guide us through each stage of our project. When we ran into hiccups along the way, he was up front with us about the situation and gave reasonable suggestions for moving forward. His crews were dependable and highly skilled. We enjoyed and looked forward to seeing them every day and our territorial dogs looked forward to watching them work every day.Our HOA is infamous for being strict and denying many submissions which require several back/forths. However, our submission was accepted on the first design which Alex attended on our behalf.We updated our entire front yard which included adding a gated courtyard, artificial turf, entryway, driveway, planting walls and adding a new gated entry to our backyard. With Alex’s help, we not only updated the curb appeal of our home but maximized the space.We highly recommend OC West to all of our friends and neighbors and our new front yard is a testament in itself to the design and quality of work. We can only hope that we’re able to find such a wonderful partner in all our home projects.

    We used OC West Landscape and they were outstanding! I was very nervous about completely redoing the landscape surrounding my house, but Alex proved not only to be a perfectionist, but also very knowledgeable, and patient. He listened to what I wanted, proposed great ideas, and made adjustments as needed to fit within my budget. His team handles everything from beginning to end and they are all top notch professionals! I am extremely pleased to add myself to the long list of appreciative customers of OC West Landscape, and I will be referring all of my family and friends to them :)

    Alex and his team at OC West were top notch from design through construction. He took our goals of what we wanted in a back yard then added his vision to it to come up with what we feel is perfect for us. He was more than willing to bring ideas and samples until we found exactly what we wanted. He wasnt afraid to steer us away from some of our ideas either and we are glad we listened to him. I highly recommend Alex and OC West for your Landscape needs

  • Review 13 (2017-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    It was great to work with Alex and his team. We completely renewed our front and backyard. Alex was easy to deal with and was always around to supervise and answer our questions. Alex’s team was at our house working Monday through Saturday from 7:30 am until 4 pm. The estimated completion date was 8 weeks. Alex and his team finished the job in 6.5 weeks. The finished product looks amazing and we are extremely satisfied with the quality of finishes and craftsmanship. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone thinking of doing any lanscape redesign.

    OC West did an great job in designing and constructing a beautiful landscape around my house. The moment that I started the project, I already recognized the professionalism of Alex the owner. Unlike many contractors in business, Alex was trained as an architect in one of the best universities in the US. Other contractors simply try to sell their clients as much as they can get away with. Alex first understood what our family prefer, and then he came up with proposal to match my taste.Therefore I highly recommend OC West.

  • Review 15 (2020-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    Alex and his team are top notch. We love our landscaping all throughout our property! The neighbors have commented on how our home has now increased their propertys values. From design to construction, Alex and his team were very pleasant to work with. I will recommend this crew to anyone that needs landscaping because I know that they would be in great hands. Thanks OC West! We are thoroughly enjoying our outdoors.

    This review is for Alex and his team at OC West Landscaping who completed the front and backyard landscaping on our new construction home. We couldn’t have been happier with the results. We had previously gone through the painstaking process of landscaping a new construction home about 3 years ago prior to moving to this current home. From our previous experiences, we had learned quite a bit about the entire design and construction process. So this time around, we were much more informed and specific about what we were looking for. We interviewed several landscapers and Alex clearly stood out. We liked that he comes from an architecture background which made his designs much more unique and less generic. He has a great design aesthetic which is so important in eventually getting the look you want. We also really liked that his company offers the full breadth of construction services which means the work was always done by Alex’s employees under his direct oversight instead of having a bunch of sub-contractors doing separate parts of the job such as the sprinklers, lighting, stonework, tiling, softscape, electrical, etc.. That is what happened with our previous house and unfortunately a lot gets lost in the translation, mistakes get made, and the quality of work suffers due to lack of communication between the different subs. Throughout the process, we felt at ease because Alex’s guys were so professional and courteous. They took really great care of our home from start to finish. Alex was on-site daily managing and coordinating the workflow. He was a great communicator and always available and responsive to text, emails, and calls. I felt that his knowledge of materials, design aesthetic, and the construction process was well-above his peers. His crew benefits from his expertise because he has such low turnover and works with the same guys over and over so they know exactly how he likes things to be done. Alex is very picky and particular about getting things right and was always there to ensure highest quality. He was also great about giving us different choices and samples for paint colors, tiles, stone, wood, etc. But he would not give us too many choices to overwhelm us and would give helpful advice if we had difficulty making a choice. His prices were very fair. His contract agreement was very detailed and we ended up paying the exact amount we had negotiated. The only additional charges we incurred were for upgrades to more premium materials that we chose to make later on. He fully stands by the quality of his work. Now over 6 months after job completion, Alex still checks in on us from time to time. In fact, he has recently come to fix some minor cracks that resulted from my over-watering of the plants. The finished landscape looks fantastic and has totally transformed our home. Our backyard is now so functional, relaxing, and beautiful. Our family uses it almost everyday. When people come to visit, they head straight for the backyard, both adults and children, because it is such a draw. The results have exceeded our expectations and we are so grateful to Alex and his team for their amazing work.

    We met with several landscape architectural firms before we settled on OC West. Our selection wasn’t based on pricing, or glossy marketing materials, or a polished sales pitch. We chose OC West because after spending time with Alex Karim, we were confident that he would translate our basic requirements and our dreams into the perfect backyard. And we were right. Alex didn’t try and sell us on already developed cookie-cutter designs. Instead he took the time to ask questions, take us to see other yards – including ones designed by other firms – so he would get a sense of our style. Through the entire process from design to construction, we were a part of the team. Every decision was thoughtfully discussed including design elements, placement, and material selection. The construction crew was excellent – polite, conscientious and professional. And we could tell they took great pride in their work. Lastly, when the job was done, they didn’t disappear. They remain accessible and responsive. We highly recommend OC West without reservation.

    Was down the road with a landscape architect that we were having some some issues with. Contacted OC West to do an alternate set of plans as a contingency plan. Alex was very responsive and helpful in coming up with an excellent set of plans in fairly short order that addressed all of our requirements and was within our budget. Communication was excellent throughout the process. Although the original architect eventually got the original plans done, we ended up using Alexs plans for the project instead.

    5 stars for OC West Landscape! Alex Karims designs and collaboration with us was seamless and outstanding. The modern design and drought resistant plant choices not only make our home a show stopper ( people drive by slowly admiring the home ) but also very low maintenance. My husband and I often say to ourselves, We get to live here! Cant say enough good things about OC West Landscape and its professionalism, knowledge, and care.

    OC West is professional in all aspects. I found Alex easy to work with; he listened to our needs and remained attentive from start to end. The work was of highest quality; his years of experience sure shows! Thank you OC West, we can’t wait to make memories in our lovely backyard!!

    We had a terrific experience with Alex for our front and backyard. Is a very designed minded contractor who provided fantastic ideas on top of our existing design plans. We really enjoyed talking to him and he always took the time to discuss both hardscaping and spoftscaping choices. He even helped us redesign our front yard to be the envy of our street. Build wise, he addressed issues as they came up during the build phase and even addressed issues we faced well after completion. He is detail oriented and weve been recommending him to all of our friends.

    My friend referred me to OC West when I purchased my dream home. The outcome of my friends project was just what she wanted; gorgeous I might add! But what she raved mostly about was service, service, service! I was hooked when she said that.My front and backyard project involved a pool, new deck, hardscape, and sofscape. All new terms I learned from Alex, he made it easy to understand. I was heard, and my design ideas were considered and implanted with expert design advice. The final results were more than we dreamed of. Thank you OC West!!

  • Review 23 (2020-09-21 - Rating: 5)

    Can’t express how thankful I am. My backyard looks absolutely gorgeous and I know it would’ve not been this functional and pretty if it wasn’t for OC west. You should 100% let this company take your job and make their magic. They also have the best team ever.

    We recently had the privilege of working with the amazing team at OC West led by the talented landscaper, Alex. From beginning to end, Alex and his team exceeded all of our expectations. They took the time to truly understand our vision and provided us with various options to choose from, even enhancing our ideas to create a better result. Alex was open to our suggestions and input, and he allowed us to play an active role in the final design. He even went above and beyond, spending hours exploring different options based on our requests.During construction, Alex was incredibly flexible and made design changes on-the-go to ensure everything was just perfect. The team worked tirelessly with a focus on detail, and Alex was an active manager who checked in regularly to ensure everything was going smoothly. He was a joy to work with, and he went the extra mile to guarantee our complete satisfaction with the end product.Thanks to Alexs hard work and commitment, our outdoor space has been transformed into a stunning oasis that we will cherish for years to come. We highly recommend OC West to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping and design services.We are grateful to have met such a fantastic person as Alex through this project and are proud to now consider him a member of our family.

    I regret I had recently written an uncomplimentary review of OC WEST which I now find was based on my own erroneous assumption and written prematurely. Now that I’m privy to the reason there was such a disconnect in communication, I will sincerely recant any earlier review I wrote. Desiree
