Landscaping Reviews

Drab to Fab did an excellent work on our front yard. What had been a rocky expanse of weeds is now a nice native plants garden! Their team was wonderful to work with every day and they were happy to answer my questions along the way so I learned quite a bit.


Kurt and Alec are great! They worked with our landscape designer to get our project installed exactly how we wanted it. All of their suggestions worked out wonderfully. We're so grateful for their help!

True to their name, Kurt & Alec took our completely drab, overgrown, and under used upper garden, and created a fabulous edible European style oasis, complete with a fire pit, planter beds, and a living wall. They were so attentive, responsive, and thoughtful throughout the entire process, helping us conceptualize, plan and then bring it to life! They came over for an initial consultation, gave us drawings of the layout and plan, and worked with us to create something exceptional at a great cost that worked for us. All of the plants and coverings were perfect, and made the space literally feel twice as large! We spend every single day up there now as a family. Could not recommend them more highly!

Kurt and Alec helped us with a plan of renewal and restoration which focused on low water usage and plants for our pollinators. The work began on time, everyone was organized, and the work completed on time. Licensed, bonded, and insured, the entire staff was friendly, courteous, accommodating, and considerate of our property. We enjoy our FAB new landscaping, especially the old circle of DG that was a weed nightmare, now transformed into a beautiful, artful circle of flagstone and rock. We are happy to continue working with them as they maintain our beautiful gardens.

Super responsive, patient, creative, practical, and sensitive to my budgetary concerns. Treated my modest investment with the attention of a much bigger project. I could not be happier with the outcome and the follow up from Kurt and Alec. Also, they are really nice guys. Highly recommend and will def use them on future projects

I can't imagine having a better experience. Drab to Fab is the best landscaping company in San Diego - hands down! Kurt and Alec have unique design taste and helped me achieve my goals with my yard. They were responsive, dependable, and a pleasure to work with. Don't waste time with other companies. Get it done right from the start with Drab to Fab!

 It has been a pleasure working with the team at Drab to Fab. They are incredibly professional and provide concierge service for landscaping. They made the process incredibly easy and took care of everything for me in a hassle free way.


The project was redoing the landscaping of my front yard - removing old trees and rocks and replacing with new plants and rocks. Very happy with the results and I will continue using them for maintenance or my new front yard.

Drab to Fab was a true pleasure to work with on our landscaping project. Kurt was extremely responsive through the whole process and everyone in their crew is clean and friendly!

Kurt and Alec were great. They were a pleasure to work with. We just bought a vacation home in Kensington and wanted to spruce up the planted areas and add a pergola. They did a wonderful job. We highly recommend!

Kurt and Alec are the best! They helped me with some ideas for my backyard makeover, took care of the design, and made sure that the work was completed on time. I was really blown away with the quality and attention to detail. I am really happy with the work and the fact that I never have to look for a landscaping company again.

Drab to Fab is amazing! In just one day they transformed our space into a highlight of the back yard. We can’t take our eyes off it! From design consultation to completion communication flowed, ideas flowed and work flowed. They even fixed our sprinklers which was not part of the original plan! Do yourself a favor and call them, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks guys- you rock!

Kurt and Alec delivered the best experience I could have hoped for in renewing my backyard landscaping. They cleared and removed an overgrown area and brought it back to life with drip irrigation and drought tolerant plantings. Unforeseen issues that arose were addressed with professionalism and they always came up with a workable solution. Although they were slightly higher in cost than other estimates, their detailed and quick responsive to questions/concerns won me over, and I am very pleased with the result.

I don't know where to start...I love this crew and everything they do!!! The team is amazing, always professional, responsive and have great recommendations for plants and design! I hired them for one project and now we are in the middle of our 4th project together. I plan to continue working with them in my large yard that was desperately in need of some updating. You will NOT be disappointed with Drab to Fab!!

I am beyond happy with the work Kurt, Alec, and their team did in my backyard. I spoke to a handful of landscapers to paint the brick walls and fences, and plant tropical trees along my entire yard, and I’m glad I ultimately chose to work with these guys. They truly understood my vision, had great recommendations, and really made my backyard tropical oasis dreams come true! They pay close attention to deal, are professional, and super friendly. I will absolutely work with them again and would recommend them to anyone that wants a beautiful job well-done.

We had a great experience with Drab to Fab. They revamped our whole yard, courtyard and updated the watering system. I love the design and execution, it looks fantastic. They were able to accommodate all our special requests and make it all work. Plus, they are wonderful to work with - very responsive and accommodating.

- Holly K

We opted to go with Drab to Fab because of the vibe we got from the initial meet. Alec and Kurt are very personable and easy to talk to. They listened to every detail and understood exactly what we were looking for. From the start they were extremely punctual and quoted a turn around of 2 days for completion. As a professional skeptic I couldn't wait to be proven wrong, and I was. They worked tirelessly and achieved a look that surpassed what we were envisioning. I don't have enough space to give these guys their due credit, but rest assured that our next projects we'll be hiring them for sure. Thank you Kurt and Alec for making our yard something to treasure.

Working with Drab to Fab was a fantastic experience. I walked the project with them describing what the space would be used for, then I relinquished create control into their hands. The end results was more than I had hoped for. They were true professionals; maintaining an efficient schedule and budget that I could work with. I have received a number of compliments on their work and I will use them again on another project as well as ongoing maintenance. It is such a pleasure to contract with a company that is environmentally responsible and not solely driven by the dollars of the deal. Great work Drab to Fab, I look forward to our continued partnership.

BEST DECISION WE HAVE EVER MADE. I'm struggling to find words to explain the ethereal magic that Drab-to-Fab just performed on my home. We asked them to completely redesign the front and back yard of our single family home in Oceanside, and KID YOU NOT, in the mere 5 days it took them to finish this colossal project, several of our neighbors stopped by to thank us for increasing their property value. In other words, they all wanted a piece of this. Truly, I'm fielding requests for their contact info every time I leave the house. Not only were they on point with design and budget, they were so professional, kind and fun to have around (especially after a year in isolation!) I firmly believe that they need their own show on HGTV. And when they get it, I'll be the first one knocking on their door, begging them to hire me.

Drab to Fab took our distant dream and made it a remarkable reality! Throughout the process, Kurt & Alec were responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. As we described our vision during an initial walkthrough, Alec prepared a visual representation of what our layout would look like. While the plans developed further later on, this is just one way straight from the beginning that illustrated they were always prepared and listening - so impressive! In addition to being skilled visionaries, Kurt & Alec are delightful human beings and always carry themselves with cheerful and innovative style. I recommend them to anyone and everyone who wants to bring life to their landscaping and have a fabulous time while doing so.

Kurt and Alec are amazing to work with. They are extremely kind, helpful, and punctual. I showed them a rendering of what I wanted the landscaping to look like and they were able to take it to the next level. We had to make changes through the project, and they were able to provide design advice and make adjustments to make the project look incredible. They go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. I can tell they really care about their work and their attention to detail shines. I couldn't recommend them more. You'd be hard-pressed to find landscapers that are as great to work with as these guys.
