Afuera Outdoor Living

We hired Loera's Landscaping (Afuera Outdoor Living) to help us design and update our backyard. We only had a general idea of what we wanted, but after meeting with Jamie Sutton and George Loera, we were able to work together on a plan which included considerations for our walker-bound elderly parents. Jamie made the design process painless and easy. They were able to help us outline the plan, get a budget set and even helped with submitting to the HOA.

When the work started the team showed up every day, on time and worked very hard, through good weather and bad. We were kept updated every step of the way, and even when we made changes, they were more than willing to work with us to get things done in a quick and efficient manner. We expected George to cringe every time we said "Hey George, question for you..." but he responded to every question, request and idea with humor and good grace.

What started with a very small rarely used space surrounded by a mass of sagebrush turned into a showcase large yard where we love to spend time now. George made sure the slope of the looping ADA compliant paver walkway was gentle enough for our parents and still blended seamlessly into the design. Our parents are thrilled with how nice the yard is now.

We've worked with multiple contractors on indoor and outdoor projects across several properties in California and Nevada, and our experience with Afuera was by far the best. Jamie even brought over food enough for several meals and a nice plant to make things easier on us when Mom returned from a stay in the hospital. At the end of the job, it was hugs all around, we were that happy with the experience. We do miss giving Alaska, George and Jamie's dog, head scratches. We unhesitatingly recommend them and give them the highest rating possible.

I have hired Loera's to help improve and maintain my yard with a xeriscape approach. First they impressed me by coming in under a couple of other outfits, and then they followed up with first rate, timely, and professional work. Today they did some follow-up maintenance work and repaired a faulty part of my irrigation system, potentially saving me a lot of hassle in the not-too-distant future. They are easy to work with, although they are extremely busy, so the sooner you contact them the better in the current environment.

I hired Loera's to help me with General yard cleanup including raking leaves, trimming trees, bushes & shrubs. They did an amazing job and have very affordable pricing. Very detail oriented no need to micro manage. They are a newer company but have plenty of experience. It's a husband & wife team along with a few helpers. Everyone was very polite & accommodating. I highly recommend Loera's for your landscaping needs!

The team at Loera's did a great job for the installation of Everlights at our house. Our roof pitch in Tahoe is steep and somewhat challenging. The team came prepared and completed the job in a timely and safe manner. The end result is better than we imagined ( fantastic technology for lighting up the house all year round). The team were professional, turned up when they said they would and kept us informed of the project status. Can't recommend them highly enough.

These people are awesome!

I needed a mattress and old cage removed out of my house. They came same day, on time and took everything fast and with a smile! I highly recommend them to anyone.

Thanks you guys!

George and his wife came out the same day we called to haul away some yard waste. These two hardworking folks did a great job. They were easy to work with, kept us posted on when they would arrive, showed up on time, and were reasonably priced. Recommend.

This landscaper has ideas with no follow through. Despite phone recording/pictures as we walked through our well established yard, he ended up pulling out plants/shrubs that took years to grow and never intended to part with. After we hired him, it all fell apart. Starting with no truck. Stating he would be here at a certain hour and not coming for hours or completely postponing. He even missed days due to lack of tools. Told us he needed to rent this or that. We wanted to support him because he is young but we were the fools. I am a disabled Veteran and my husband is of an age now where it is painful to keep up with our yard work. He left us with more work than what we had originally. Despite his license number on his business card, a belated search revealed no state contractor's license AT ALL. His Facebook page does not include a license number. Isn't that interesting? Please do not make our mistake. This Veteran has just been traumatized all over again. Hope he's proud of how he cared for those who served.
