Don't bother going anywhere else. Jeff has made our backyard a thing of wonder. Jeff is easy going and is willing to do anything it takes to get the job done the way YOU want it. Many others will tell what you cannot do. If you can dream it and its reasonable Jeff will most likely make it happen. I could go on and on about just how great he has been. He has made an otherwise stressful project easy for us. Even when we wanted to make a few last minute changes Jeff made it work. He will also direct you to the best landscaping crews in the Bay Area. We used John Reidel and he is as great as Jeff.

Courtesy and respect are a thing most people forget these days. Jeff does not forget and nor does John. Jeff is a stand up guy with a great eye for the little things as well as the big things. I strongly recommend Jeff. Don't even waste your time interviewing anyone else. Five Star all the way. Thanks Jeff.

As the original owner of our home the backyard landscape and hardscape was - dated, tired and worn. We wanted to completely redo the look and open it up. We envisioned the look to be such that when you stepped outside you felt like you had just walked out and into a resort. We knew that we needed someone who did quality work and not high volume landscape planning/design. By checking with - suppliers, contractors and customers there was one name that rose to the top - Jeff Wortham & Associates. Jeff is a true professional that "listened intently"! He then meticulously set out to show us options and direction that made sense for our home. There were a few pre-existing hardscape conditions that Jeff's plan and design made it look like it was all part of the original project. As the landscape is now growing out it becomes more warm and inviting every day. It looks fabulous whether you are on the inside looking out, or on the outside sitting in this lush and inviting environment.

Jeff's landscape selection is one that provides us with warm and lush colors and textures "year-round". The waterwall that he designed as the focal point has a subtle flow of water over the stone surface. It has a calming almost medicinal effect when you sit by it. Jeff delivered on everything that we asked for and more for our project. It would be our recommendation that you stop searching for a landscape architect and have Jeff design and plan your project.

Jeff Wortham did a great job in designing our backyard and helping us clean up the views of our front yard. What I really appreciate about Jeff was that he took plenty of time to get the design the way we wanted it. This just wasn't a one hour call. He spent nearly 4 hours with my wife and myself discussing yard options, estimates of costs. He made several visits to our home to get the design we wanted, turned the plans over quickly, and his estimate of the work was pretty close to the bids we received. Most importantly during the middle of the project he came out to review some things and provided support when we had questions with our contractor. We are extremely happy with the landscape design. I would highly recommend Jeff. He does not only a great design, can help make some midcourse changes to clients needs, and will follow up with his clients.

If you are looking for a landscape architect designer, proceed immediately to Jeff Wortham's website, http://jeffwortham.com. It will speak volumes of his abilities and knowledge. 

Yelp is a perfect forum for us to laud our unconditional praises about Jeff and our beautiful landscaped backyard and home front. Of all the designers we interviewed, he was the only one who was able to take our thoughts and translate them into a vision. He works with quality landscape and construction companies and remains participatory throughout the entire process including choosing designing elements and coming on-site to ensure that his landscape plans are exactly executed. Our sincerest thanks to Jeff for a magnificent job.

Jeff's flexibility and expertise have truly made him the sub-contractor of choice among the seven used throughout this project. (retaining wall, pool re-model,solar panels, concrete, landscape contractor, electrical.) His initial appointment went very smooth. He listened when my wife and I expressed ourselves and then efficiently created a design that we fell in love with.

The bids for project construction came in all over the map. After reviewing the figures and visiting several other completed projects with Jeff, we retained the lowest bid contractor, with Jeff also being enlisted to supervise the project as needed. This insured that the designed plans were adhered to. (with great savings).

Jeff’s construction experience and advice to both myself and the contractor were of great value throughout the project. His "hands-on" approach and knowledge through experience, together with always being available when necessary (rain or shine) gives him the "Best Bang For The Buck" award.

We wanted to create a functional and beautiful backyard. Jeff brings a computer with projects he's designed. He has pictures of hundreds of plants, trees and flowers and asks detailed questions to get a perfect custom design.

We love our backyard. It is a relaxing and beautiful retreat for us, and a wonderful space for entertaining. We would highly recommend Jeff.

We would definitely recommend Jeff Wortham & Associates. They are wonderful Landscape Architects and they came highly recommended to us by many people. Jeff is great to work with. People always notice our yard. We would definitely us him again.

Jeff is very professional, and we enjoyed working with him very much. His price was completely reasonable. He was great. They were responsible, had wonderful follow-through, and were very detailed. Jeff is such a nice person to work with. We would completely recommend him.

I wanted to let you know that our project is now completed. Thanks for all your help getting us from start to end successfully. We definitely realized the value of following your process. In particular, it was great to have a base plan from which we could negotiate with contractors and of course your design expertise helped us towards a far superior solution than the "free" plan that we had in front of us.

What a transformation! We are so pleased with the design and how much more usuable our yard is. Please feel free to drop by any time (with or without clients).

C.N., Alamo, CA

We are so pleased with the yard. Our home has been transformed and it is beautiful.

We would absolutely recommend Jeff to our friends and family for several reasons. First and foremost his design has turned out wonderfully and he incorporated all of our needs and desires. The hardscape design in our backyard provides us with areas for relaxing and dining. His design of the walkway coming up to the front of the house is much more to the scale of the house and porch. His choice of plant material combines various leaf color and shape along with flowering plants that complement each other.

We appreciated that he was available throughout the construction process to help deal with the issues that came up. We also appreciated how quickly he accomplished the design and provided us with complete construction documents.

Jeff was referred to us by a friend that had used his services on their yard. Not only had they used him but several of their friends had also used him. All of these clients had beautiful yards and highly recommended Jeff.

We received great value for what Jeff charged. The process Jeff uses for his designs really worked well for us. He listened to us and incorporated all of our requests which eliminated the potential for multiple iterations. We cannot think of anything that would have enhanced our experience with Jeff.

We did use one of the recommended contractors for both our pool renovation and our landscaping. Both contractors were excellent and their work is exceptional. They did the work in a timely manner even given the rainy conditions.

Last March I sat in my sister in law, Wendy Maddens’ garden green with envy. Her two-year old yard was filled with interesting plants in an array of colors and textures and all were thriving despite just coming through winter and only being in the ground a short time. I asked if she spent a fortune on maintenance and she shared that Jeff Wortham was her landscape designer and thanks to him, the garden performs beautifully with very little maintenance. I immediately contacted him.

Jeff was quick to respond and since then has been a lifesaver in my yard. He is creative, professional, and a terrific listener. I find his knowledge of soil composition, plant material, irrigation techniques and hardscape refreshingly broad and original. In addition to the design plan he includes a soil analysis and fertilizing schedule which has made all the difference in understanding what my yard needs to thrive.

He makes house calls and gives me lessons on pruning, trellising, tree trimming, and welcomes the odd question or plant order.

I highly recommend Jeff. My yard is now an oasis thanks to him.
