Testimonials


  • I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Michael Brennan of Urban Green. Michael is a very creative individual. He is a careful listener and develops well thought out solutions for our client’s needs. Michael’s creativity and professionalism has made it possible to for us to be honored with the President’s Award for the best overall landscape construction project from the California Landscape Contractors Association. -Steve J. / Nature Designs

  • Urban Green was instrumental in the planning and development of our outdoor classroom highlighting the endangered Coastal Sage Scrub ecosystem. Michael made many trips up to Escondido as he worked tirelessly with us to turn a hillside overrun with weeds and invasive species into a native habitat where people of all ages can learn about the tremendous diversity that this special ecosystem houses. Michael's expertise and professionalism guaranteed not only a successful end product, but made the entire process easy and enjoyable.  I would unequivocally recommend Urban Green! -Robin K. / Beckman Center

  • Michael is a dedicated professional in his field. He is creative and knowledgeable every step of the way. In our experience he has always gone above and beyond the "call of duty" in every way. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a landscape architect, particularly for native gardens. His work is impeccable. -Janice S.

  • Michael is responsive, adapts to changing situations very well, is resourceful, and bangs out some great designs. Urban Green is an essential team partner. -Zubin P. / Enginuity Consulting

  • My husband's office was landscaped in eucalyptus.  And that was it.  Michael met with us and designed a plan that was efficient, pleasing to the eye, and practical.  We planted the new landscape in stages and it is fabulous!  The blend of colors, textures, and dimensions are extraordinary.  Not only is Michael easy to work with and accommodating, the end result will not disappoint! -Cathey A.

  • Michael's attention to the clients’ needs and desires during the design process and concepts are very one-on-one. His ability to recognize specific detail each and every project needs and his hands on experience are invaluable to the clients he serves. Urban Green’s overall ability to problem solve during installation and provide field exhibits to contractors at a moment’s notice creates a seamless connection from design on the boards to successful and beautiful landscapes. -Chris G.

  • Go Urban Green!  We love our new landscape design!  Urban Green gave our front and back yard a makeover.  The wonderful variety of native plants  and trees are filling in and we have enjoyed many nights by our fire and water feature Michael designed for us. The plans were thorough and easy to follow and Michael was very professional and easy to work with answering all of our many questions.  Do I need to mention the new, lowered water bill? -Gwendolyn C.

  • Michael and Urban Green are both great! Michael met me on a Sunday at my San Diego rental to review my plantings and recommend a water saving system, which I desperately needed.  He also created a planting plan for a steep hillside, which is thriving and looks beautiful.   I have known Michael for 8 years and he has found his calling. -Timothy O.

  • Michael was referred to me thru the Scripps Ranch Civic Association of which I am a member. I asked him for a consultation. Unassuming and personable with loads of credentials, he arrived at my home on time and thoroughly inspected my yard while listening to my ideas and desires. Then he sat with me in the front yard asking questions and making useful suggestions. My goal was to get ideas and he accomplished that for me -- plus!  I was impressed with his multi-leveled knowledge base. Also, he followed thru with a detailed writeup and stayed in contact with me. The consultation was like "the gift that keeps on giving" as my yard goes thru stages of change. It changed the way I think about the use of my yard and has saved me money and given me the right direction to go given water usage and other green issues. My neighbors love my front yard that now has a little picket fence, garden and fruit trees. It is charming and friendly and easy to maintain. Thank you for your services Michael. -Debra L.
