WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“We were so fortunate to work with G Family for our full home remodel (and I mean FULL: it was brought down to the studs). From start to finish, we were beyond impressed with their professionalism, and their craftsmanship is next to none. Jon had so many clever ideas we were able to incorporate in the plan, and was really able to understand the needs of us as his clients. The entire team is very organized and communicative, and made us feel very at ease while undergoing this massive project. Home remodels are nothing short of stressful, but the team at G Family communicated seamlessly with everyone involved, from designers to city planners. I can honestly say that this process was not at all stressful with Jon at the helm (and the amazing Zach leading the charge for our fantastic yard!). Should the opportunity arise to work with G Family again, I would not hesitate. Our home, and our yard, are simply spectacular” - Leah G, 2024
"If I could give G Family six stars, I would. They have done several projects for us after being recommended by a friend, and their work is amazing. The crew is so talented, all super friendly (and have worked for the company for years--great employee loyalty), show up on time, get the work done on time and to the highest standards of quality, and they finish the job right away, without leaving you hanging for the last 10% like every other contractor we've ever worked with. They ask all the right questions and consult with you to make sure things get done just the way you are expecting, and they are always looking for ways to make a project better. When they leave a job site, it is immaculate, and if you have questions about anything, Dave will come out right away and check to make sure it gets put right. The kicker is that their prices are so reasonable, especially for the incredible quality of their work. I have no doubt we'll be working with G Family for many years as we get our old house brought up to modern standards slowly but surely. We get tons of compliments on all the work they've done already, and they make us look like we have more means than we actually do. Working with these guys will be one decision you will never regret!"

"We worked with G Family, Inc on our construction project. The project was very successful and we had a good experience dealing with everyone from the office to the site crew workers. The company is very professional in all aspects of the building process, from planning stage to the final stage, the process was smooth, and the jobsite was clean and organized. The company has integrity, honesty, and high quality standards and we would recommend their services to anyone. "
- Robert & Barbara J.
"Jon and the crew at G Family are some of the best I have had the pleasure of working with and they are very honest and transparent with the details surrounding a project. I highly recommend them if you want high quality product and service."
- Peter P, 2024
"Jon G and G Family did a major remodel on our home about 4 years ago and last winter the siding failed. Not due to workmanship but due to a defect in the material. They came back, no questions asked, removed the siding and painted it to match, and it looks like new. It was not an insignificant job. Not only do they do quality work, but they stand by it and make sure that it’s still right years later. That is the mark of integrity. We will use them again if we do more work to the house and I can personally recommend them without hesitation."
-Ted Witt, 2023

"If you are thinking about doing any sort of landscaping on your property, look no further than the G Family Landscaping! I honestly cannot say enough positive things about them!
We "shopped around" a lot and not only did they seem the most honest and fair price wise, but you could tell they were very dedicated to making whatever your dream was-come true. We had a very hilly, terraced backyard (of course, in Sausalito) that was essentially useless, overgrown with ivy and unsafe for our toddler. Over the past year they helped us create an incredible oasis of tranquility with perfect hangout spots for social gatherings, and amazing (kid-friendly) play areas, along with beautiful hand-crafted stone planting beds for our garden and orchard.
Besides the useful beauty they cultivate, I cannot speak highly enough about is the work ethic of the G Family, especially Zach Wahle and his phenomenal Landscaping team. They, (along with Dave Grabham, who helped design all the tricky hardscape) worked tirelessly to convert an unused space, into an essential part of our lives which we enjoy spending time in every day. Zach and Dave helped us work through design ideas and were very open to meeting to discuss changes as things developed to suit our needs.
Zach's vast knowledge of plants is invaluable, and he really listened to what we wanted in terms of "looks and feels" for the difference zones of the landscaping. It was reassuring and really easy to work with a company that is, quite literally, a family as they can take care of every step of the process from design, to hardscaping concrete retainer walls, to plumbing and electrical work to the gorgeous landscaping and perfect plant placement.
They constantly checked in throughout the construction going over billing questions, and then have continued to care for the landscaping months after completion to ensure everything not only survives, but thrives! (Even replacing a few unhappy plants or lights out). Zach, Dave and all of their team members are super skilled, thorough, kind, fair and an absolute pleasure to work with! They have literally increased the enjoyment of our home (and truly lives) immeasurably for the better, and we cannot thank them enough!"

"Great productivity under difficult working conditions. (Retaining Wall) "
-Ralph H, 2020
"Zack was our contact. He came and reviewed our project and made some great suggestions. We were very happy with the final outcome. Our yard looks beautiful. I would highly recommend G Landscape."
-Novato Client, 2017
"I thought they were great. They did everything they said they would do and they went above and beyond.
The ease of working with them and they were on top of any concerns or needs."
-Shelley A, 2023
"The team we worked with ongoing were fantastic. We really love them.
The crew are kind, timely, knowledgeable and they are really nice people. They are reliable. They are the kind of people who you want to have a relationship with as a vendor."
-Lisa W, 2023
"We were profoundly impressed by the dedication exhibited by G Landscape Division throughout the entirety of our backyard project. Whether it was during the initial introduction and consultation phase with Dago and Zach, the project oversight provided by Miguel, or the day-to-day supervision under Angel's purview, our journey was seamless. They consistently made us feel like their utmost priority.
The crew was punctual at the worksite every day regardless of the weather conditions that converged on Marin County during the spring. It was a great surprise to witness the project's conclusion, a full two weeks ahead of the anticipated schedule.
Lastly, the billing process and the transparent cost breakdown were straightforward and user-friendly. We are beyond satisfied with the final product and endorse G Landscape Division without reservation and offer them our highest commendation."
-Sarah R, 2023
"Responsive, professional and superior quality work."

"Very positive, very knowledgeable, reasonably priced and great customer service. "
-Jordan W, 2023
"They are extraordinarily knowledgeable and they are meticulous. They care about the garden and they go the extra mile. They are the best gardening service I have had in 50 years.
They are not a mow and blow. They know the plants and they know how to fertilize and feed them. They are really skilled and it is hard to find that. We have 4 acres of gardens, so it is extensive, and they maintain it beautifully. We couldn't ask for anything more.
They really care about the quality of their work. They are diligent and they have their eyes open all of the time for the health of the plants. Their pruning is superb and they do a great job."

"G Design was great to work with. Dago gave clear timelines and projected cost and turned the project around efficiently. We would not hesitate to work with G Design again, and we highly recommend their service to others!"
-Cara F, 2021
"We really loved working with David and his family! They listened to our vision and had fantastic design perspective and ideas. I would highly recommend working with them on a remodel or new build (we did both). We are really loving how it all is turning out!"
-Lauren O'Sullivan, 2022
"Zach and Dave were a pleasure to work with. They designed and built the Backyard of our dreams. They were available to meet every two weeks to discuss our project which was a complete backyard landscaping remodel, with a 90 foot long retaining wall that required permits from the city. They made the process go very smoothly. Some of the materials that already existed were reused in a creative and beautiful way and we are so happy with the end product. Before our project we only used our backyard a few times a year. What we have now is a backyard that brings our family and friends joy and a side yard that we use every day. It now has a lawn, multiple sitting areas, a hammock, a fruit orchard, and a patio that was essential for hosting friends and family during the pandemic. beautiful plantings of perennials, fences, an additional stairway and access to our property from town as well as a hot tub. Their full service crew assisted us with designing and building the backyard of our dreams. Their electrician safely upgraded our electrical system to allow for the addition of a state of the art hot tub. Their plumber Anthony installed an outdoor shower. We interviewed several quality landscapers before selecting G Family. It feels wonderful to support a high-quality, locally-based company. Thanks G Family!"

"G Family is a best in class, highly efficient, and top quality company. We hired them to do a full home remodel and they delivered on-time and on-budget. We made several changes throughout the project, but that never phased them and it never slowed them done. They were quick and efficient despite managing our project during the COVID labor and resource shortage environment. Their crew is kind, respectful, thoughtful, and considerate. They were always here on time and finding things to do when they were waiting on deliveries or inspections, etc. I highly, highly recommend them. They are a hidden gem in Marin County. Top quality work at an affordable price, while maintaining positive attitudes and an overall warm and friendly atmosphere."
-DB, Houzz Client 2021
"Dave and Jon are great. I had a really complicated deck that needed replacing. I had 7 contractors look at it. The G family bid was not only up to a third cheaper than the others, they were also the most creative, enthusiastic, and most pleasant. The whole job went very smoothly. Their workmanship was excellent. The job was finished well within the schedule. They went out of their way to ensure I was satisfied. All their crew were extremely pleasant even when it was windy and raining. I love our new deck. It was a real pleasure having them build for us. I first discovered them when I asked a Marin forum for some recommendations and three separate people sent me amazing rave reviews about G Family construction. The reviews were proven right."
- Mark H.
"After ten years of winning awards for one of the most prestigious advertising agencies in the country, I became known as one of the Goodby, Silverstein, and Partners pickiest art directors. People knew that if they worked with me, I would be working them hard and would be demanding top quality workmanship. I then went on to work on the award winning store design for Gymboree and realized that my true love lay with construction.
I subsequently designed and remodeled three houses dealing with various contractors and sub-contractors over the years. Recently, my husband and I purchased our fourth house and asked G Family to help us “fluff up” a two bedroom one and a half bath house. Jon Grabham offered to be the foreman on what was meant to be a relatively small job. The scope of the project increased tremendously to a five bedroom, three bath, three story home complete with gourmet kitchen, wine cellar, we bar and built-in book cases in the master suite, as well as built-in entertainment center in the recreation room and a deluxe redwood deck. Jon single-handedly turned our little cottage into a castle. I have never met a more patient, intelligent, talented, honest, budget conscious, hard-working contractor in my life. Jon is more mature than people twice his age and can readily handle any problems that might arise. I cannot recommend him or G Family highly enough." - Betsy Z.
"Stellar crew, fast and efficient, very competent. crew leader, Nicolas is very friendly and knowledgeable. he and the crew did an amazing job in a hugely overgrown backyard! I'd give them 10 stars if it were available. thanks guys!"
-Lynne E, 2024
"Our property is so beautiful! Thanks to G Family Landscape Division. Zach Wahle is the designer and project manager. He is very easy to work with. He and I picked out the plants to go in both our front and back yards, new retaining walls and firepit area and new lawn.
I highly recommend them for installation and maintenance!"
-Shelley D, 2019
"We worked with Zach and the team at G Landscape to transform the front and backyard of our first home in San Anselmo. Zach is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and overall very easy to work with. This was the first significant(for us) home improvement project we've done, Zach was consultative and helped us make the right choices for both our front and backyard - all within budget. Not to mention, they produce a very high quality of work - we love our backyard and get compliments on the front yard regularly. We will certainly continue to work with Zach and G Landscape."
-Zach L, 2017
"Very timely, great service, good work."
-Mark A, 2017

"We have worked with Zach and the team at G on two hardscape projects over the last five years. In both, we basically had the design vision, and Zach helped us refine it and execute on it. We are very pleased with the result of the projects, both of which have made our home more comfortable and enabled us to realize indoor-outdoor living. The projects included large poured concrete pads for the front walk, laying of prefabricated concrete pavers on the sideyard and back, a pergola and deck, and lighting, drainage, and the main irrigation lines throughout.
Zach was very responsive, and his team leads knew their stuff and were very friendly easy to work with. The pavers on the side- and back-yard took longer than Zach had initially planned for, in part because this was a product his team had never worked with. Nonetheless, they stuck with it and did a good job with the grading and fulfilled our rather complicated design vision perfectly. Guests always comment on how nice the pavers look. Zach's team was also kind to all our established plants in the process, which is not always the case in hardscaping efforts. The team coordinated well with other contractors, too, as we had window replacements and fencing occurring at the same time.
Both projects were very reasonable in their price given the labor involved.
We highly recommend working with G on your next landscaping project!"
-Lauren W, 2023

I use them for ongoing maintenance and they take care of anything."
-Nicholas L, 2023

I like their creativity."
-Libby F, 2023
"They are thorough and reliable.
They have good knowledge and good follow through."
-Eliza T, 2023
"They knew what they were doing and the end results looked good.
They built a retaining wall for me and it turned out really nice. It seems to be holding up really well."
-Matt G, 2023
"This firm is flat out amazing. We just had them back for our third renovation project with them and the results are just perfect. I really respect their work ethic, cleanliness and the level of care and detail that they brought to our job. They deliver a high quality of work for a very fair price. I also always appreciate how transparent G Family is with their costs and invoicing.
Despite the pandemic, they delivered a wonderful finished project (2 decks, new exterior stone staircase, stone patio and an entire 3rd floor reno with master suite, closet, bathroom), safely. Their team was very professional, and they followed very careful covid protocols to protect everyone who was working onsite. In a year that’s been absolutely crazy (take that 2020!), they were rock solid.
It is always a pleasure to work with Jon, Dave and their entire crew. I fully recommend them, our foreman Kirk, and all their team for your construction work."
- Houzz Client 2020
"Dave Grabham and his crew did a spectacular job converting my funky two car garage into a beautiful art studio. Dave met with me several times what I needed. He was friendly and very thorough in helping me plan and design a perfect work and play space with French doors and skylights. He got me the best prices and stayed within my budget. I will definitely hire him again to remodel our bathrooms and kitchen. Dave is a great guy and all his crew are friendly and hardworking young men."
-Susan L
"Love working with the design team at g design. Dago did our engineering and was lovely to have in our home and was very quick and responsive. We got our permit quickly due to his well done plans. We enjoy working with g family in general but Dago was outstanding in particular."
