“I cannot recommend Cultivate Landscape and David Solmes more highly. Cultivate was recommended to me by a trusted stonemason who I had used on a previous project, and it was obvious within an initial conversation that David was the right fit for our post-Helene project. David took the time to understand our goals and our budget, and he created a beautiful, functional, and buildable landscape design based on our needs, dreams, and budget.
After the initial design phase, which included large-format landscape plans, hard- and soft-scaping plans, and a budget, we decided to go with Cultivate for the installation. We are incredibly thankful that we did. While David’s was not the least expensive quote, it was also not the most expensive, and the attention to detail, transparency, and adaptability throughout the building process were unparalleled. We ended up with a backyard that exceeds our expectations.
David was on-site every day, often for multiple hours. He was communicative throughout the project, checking in with us about issues and opportunities that emerged. He took our feedback seriously, and he helped us weigh the cost-benefit of a wide range of decisions. After getting to know David well, we trusted him and would often default to saying, “well, what do you think?” Invariably, he would have a creative and cost-effective solution to possibilities that arose throughout the project.
If you are considering a landscape project, residential or commercial, you should contact David at Cultivate immediately. You won’t regret it. Your project will be managed efficiently and effectively, you will always be kept in the loop, you will get only the highest-quality materials sourced affordably, the installation crews will go above and beyond and will treat your property as if it were their own, your budget will be respected, creative solutions will be presented that are the product of deep experience and a passion for excellence.”
“We had an absolutely amazing experience with David at at Cultivate. We had a challenging property - extremely steep slopes, no trees, and concerns about drainage. We also wanted to enclose the land so our dog could run around. David was not only brilliant in his creative design for the yard and fence, he was meticulous about the actual work and process as it was being done. He was the very definition of hands-on, and had SUPER communication with us and the contractors. Finally, he really took our style and the elements we wanted and executed them in the best way. Modernist, funky, and colorful! We could not be more thrilled.”
“David Solmes is extremely professional and organized. We gutted our backyard and added a pool, pool house, putting green, landscaping and fire pit. David created a beautiful design for us. We had prior drainage problems, and his design solved all of our issues to give us the functional and beautiful backyard we were looking for. He was detailed, prompt and flexible. ”
“David was professional, knowledgeable, creative and incredibly responsive. We finally got to a point after 20 years in our home to overhaul our front and backyards. David patiently worked with us and handled every single detail from start to finish. Our flagstone patio, thoughtful plantings and lighting are exactly what we dreamed of.”
“David did a challenging project for us in Santa Rosa, CA. We wanted to landscape only part of our large property, but wanted to have it look natural and blend in with the native areas. David was practical, creative and attentive to details. Our landscaping is beautiful. David was respectful of our budget and always looked for ways to make more out of less. His plant and hardscape choices were excellent. I highly recommend him.”
