I wanted Lavender and and a few other plants for my garden and they showed me where things were and answered all my questions. I love the things I bought there. The plants are in the ground now and very happy. The vase I got is so pretty. They have everything you need to make a stunning garden and they can suggest landscapers if you ask. I bought a lemon tree there some time ago and it is healthy and gives lots of lemons. I can't recall if I had it delivered or I had our truck with us, but I do think they will deliver the big trees. Parking is easy in their lot and the area is clean.

I can't recommend A&R Concrete & Hardscape enough!…read more From the very beginning, Rick and Richard were incredibly professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They made the entire process of transforming our backyard feel effortless. Communication was excellent, they were flexible with us throughout the project, and everything was handled exactly the way you'd hope when hiring a contractor for your home. The biggest thing for us was how stress-free they made the entire experience. They showed up, kept us informed, worked efficiently, and created a beautiful backyard that we're genuinely excited to enjoy with our family. The quality of the finished concrete looks amazing, and you can tell they take pride in their work. As new homeowners, finding contractors you can actually trust is a huge deal, and A&R absolutely earned our trust. Rick and Richard went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and were accommodating whenever we had questions or needed flexibility. Our backyard turned out better than we imagined, and the entire experience from the initial quote to the finished project was smooth and professional. If you're looking for concrete or hardscape work, A&R should absolutely be on your list. We would use them again without hesitation and recommend them to our friends and family. Thank you Rick, Richard, and the entire A&R crew for giving our family such a beautiful backyard!

Since we had a slope we needed the wall installed and then to have some old concrete removed and a good amount of new concrete poured. Rick went over our options and cost, and we decided on the route to go with. My neighbors highly recommended Rick and his team for the job. Communication and scheduling was very easy. Pricing was extremely reasonable, especially when you consider you have the best team for the job. They handled the permit with the city and kept me updated as the work was being completed. Everything looks beautiful and we are extremely happy with how this project turned out. Zero issues or hiccups, just an amazing team of professionals getting a job done perfectly and quick.

I did not end up utilizing Grow Control for the final bid. However, if anyone is thinking of Grow…read moreand Control, do give them a chance as Jesus had been nothing but professional during our entire interaction. Prompt followup, prompt responses, no pressure. If it was in my budget, I really would have given them a chance on their professionalism alone. I didn't have to 'chase' responses. They came timely. Not overwhelming. They have a very comprehensive price breakdown and payment schedule, so payment isn't all upfront but in increments as the job is completed. Even declining they remained professional. Thank you again Jesus for your patience! I wish you and your company success for the excellent customer service.

Already time for another update wow! We've been with the awesome team at Grow Control 3 years now…read moreand I just can't say enough good things about them! Krystal, Jesus, and all their staff really provide professional, quality service and care for our yard and irrigation needs. We initially got started with them for a total clear out and clean up of our existing landscape and ended up sticking with them for weekly maintenance services and little projects here and there and have never looked back! Anytime there are issues, they are on it!! Today was another example - I asked Steve if he would just check up on my back sprinklers bc I noticed they didn't run Monday and when he did, he found a HUGE leak in one of our main irrigation pipes! Our house is kind of old and starting to need a lot of repairs so I wasn't completely surprised but the leak was pretty big. We had to turn off all the water to the house and wait for them to get one of their irrigation and plumbing experts over. Richard showed up almost immediately and had us all cleaned up and back in business in no time!! He even hung around to make sure all the leaking stopped etc. I was blown away - I figured I'd need to call a plumber and go through all that nightmare but no!! Grow Control took such good care of us! And this is the level of care and service we've received since day one! They're so fantastic- really takes a load of stress off my mind. They're caring, reliable, excellent at what they do, and very reasonably priced. We're still planning on completely redoing our yard - switching to all native plants - and when we do, it'll be the Grow Control team we trust for sure! THANK YOU everyone at Grow Control for all the years of TLC in our yard!

Well, where to start? The location is fantastic just north of Upland and across the street from the…read moreshopping centers. I had always glanced over this location, and on this day happened to be in the market for some soil. The lot was thriving, not too crowded. People were looking about and soon a staff member took the time to show me some of their soil options and potting mixes. I settled on the organic palm and cactus mix. It was not dry upon opening, which I'm glad it was not, so far it's proving to be a fairly good quality. There's still some leftover in the yard. I saw many plants there. They had some pink aloe vera, along with a wide selection of succulents, which was nice to see. I had my eye set on something a little bit different though, an elephant bush. I knew they had some because some of the arrangements included elephant bush. So I just had to ask!Well, to my surprise they were more than happy to give me a longer tour of the southern part of the nursery, where they had far more sizes, big and small. I got to see some gigantic ones that I never expected to encounter in larger pots. Thank you Vic! It goes without saying I was impressed. Speaking about Vic, I just wanna say, many of the staff members were welcoming and went above and beyond to give me what I wanted. I was really impressed with Vic's extensive knowledge on house plants and his ability to help me find the size of this wonderful plant. Where I feel that most sales people would push you to buy a particular one item, Vic offered me choices, which I appreciate 100%. It's safe to say that type of salesmanship demands respect, and I will probably be coming back when I'm ready. Outside of my own personal experience, I noticed they have a variety of pots and fertilizers for all your growing needs. Always nice to see an assortment of pots and accessories for the home garden folk. Furthermore, Vic recommended a fantastic product as an addition to my watering routine, which within days has brought tremendous results. The plants absolutely love it, it amazing to think that this trip offered the plant, the service, and now the reassurance that if ever needed, they will be there to help answering any questions. That's all folks. If you have a problem with your project, there is no doubt they have the personnel to assist. Was a quick trip for me, but be prepared for an assortment of plant species and offerings.

We briefly discussed what I was looking to do in my backyard, and I asked if someone could come out for a site visit to see the space and better understand the project. Anthony scheduled an appointment with me for Monday, August 10 at 11:00 AM. I texted him my address along with several inspiration photos beforehand. Unfortunately, 11:00 AM came and went with no sign of Anthony and no call or text letting me know he was running late or needed to reschedule. I reached out to him to ask if we were still on for that day and never received a response. I still haven't heard from him or anyone else from the company. I understand that schedules change and things come up, but completely missing a scheduled appointment and then not responding at all is disappointing and unprofessional. I'm giving one star because they were initially quick to respond to my inquiry, but unfortunately, the communication ended there.

We recently hired Platinum Paving & Landscaping for a major project involving roughly 3,220 square…read morefeet of concrete driveway and epoxy patio work, and I couldn't be happier with the results. On a project of this scale, finding a contractor you can genuinely trust to deliver top-tier build quality without cutting corners is rare, but Edgar and his team delivered on every front. They managed to execute the job efficiently and move fast without ever making the work feel rushed. Edgar approaches every aspect of the build with a true "measure twice, cut once" mentality, ensuring every detail was carefully thought out well before the concrete was poured. What truly sets Edgar apart from other contractors is his transparency and client-first mindset. Rather than making unilateral calls or pushing options that benefit his own bottom line, he presented every decision with clear options and thoughtful pros and cons. He never nickel-and-dimed small adjustments or weaponized formal change orders just to inflate the bill. Additionally, his crew was exceptionally professional, courteous, and respectful. As a landlord managing a property with tenants on-site, this was invaluable. While many contractors disregard tenants because they aren't the paying client, Edgar's crew treated everyone on the property with complete respect and care. Platinum Paving offers remarkably competitive pricing, but more importantly, the value and quality of their craftsmanship far exceed the rate they charge. If you have a large-scale project, especially on a rental or multi-unit property, do yourself a favor and get a quote from Platinum Paving before making a final decision. I highly recommend them!

We had a fantastic experience working with Edgar and his team. We found Edgar through Yelp and…read moreGoogle and, after reading the reviews, he was actually the first and only person we contacted for our backyard renovation. From the beginning, he made us feel comfortable and confident, and we never felt the need to look elsewhere. Edgar was professional, consistent, patient, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process. This was a big investment for us, and he took the time to answer questions, work within our budget, offer alternatives, and give thoughtful recommendations when we were unsure about certain decisions. His communication and customer service were excellent from start to finish. His crew was also wonderful to work with, respectful, hardworking, professional, and genuinely nice people. We truly enjoyed having them around during the project. Most importantly, the quality of the work exceeded our expectations. We are so happy with the final result and highly recommend Edgar and his team to anyone looking for backyard renovations. He clearly knows what he's doing and runs a great business. All the positive reviews are absolutely deserved.

I can't say enough great things about Joel and his team at Bear Republic Landscape. Joel came by…read morefor a consultation while the house was still under construction. The small backyard was just mud and we didn't even have our fence up yet. We weren't even sure what we wanted to do with our backyard because we couldn't even picture what our yard was going to look like with the fence up. Joel gave his input and it was as if he could already picture what it would look like as he went over what he recommended. He explained the different options that he recommended and the different types of materials and their quality levels. He showed us a couple of his other projects in the area and one of his satisfied customers came outside and told us about how happy she was with their work and that she recommended them. He gave us a very detailed itemized estimate and we set up an appointment for them to begin work a few weeks later. Throughout the whole process, Joel and his team were very professional and courteous. Although there was a lot of digging, and different equipment and materials involved, they kept the job site clean and did their best to minimize disruptions and noise while they were there. I was expecting our yard to look like a war zone while the work was being done but they always cleaned up after each day of work. It didn't take long for the project to be completed. I expected something really nice for our small space but Bear Republic exceeded our expectations. The yard came out absolutely beautiful. Everyday when I look outside I'm amazed with how they transformed our muddy backyard area to a very relaxing, picturesque outdoor space. Joel is a true artist and very meticulous in his work. He and his team were great to work with. I highly recommend Bear Republic Landscape for any landscaping project.

I had reached out to several contractors that day, and Victor was the first to respond. He was also able to get me a quote and a timeline for the project very quickly. We signed the contract a few days later, and amazingly, the entire project was completed within a week. Victor was exceptional with communication throughout the process and always made sure to confirm details with me before moving forward. His son Sebastian and daughter Penelope were also with him every time he visited the project. All three were extremely kind, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Sebastian even made a few suggestions that ultimately led us to pivot to a slightly different design, which we ended up loving. The entire project went incredibly smoothly, and we couldn't be happier with the finished retaining wall. Victor and his family were reliable, communicative, professional, and clearly cared about making sure we were happy with the final result.

We hired them for a full backyard Reno with full wall of ficus trees, full DG backyard with gravel edges, and a wood fence. Everything was going smoothly with scheduling and communication. When the actual work got started, I noticed the DG was not high-quality. It contained a lot of large rocks. Also, they were not digging out enough dirt before laying the DG. I had to bring that up to the foreman and they did dig up some more dirt before laying the DG. When the work was done, a foreman did a quick walk-through with me and I thought everything looked good. We were told not to walk on the wet DG for a day or two. So two days later when I did a better inspection, I started to notice a lot of shotty work. Specifically with the bender board dividing the gravel and I noticed that they used really small nails for the wooden fence. They did come back a month later to fix the DG because there were areas that were "bouncy", as if not enough DG was laid down. They had to dig up big rocks that were preventing the DG from compacting and they laid more DG on some areas. They also tried to fix some bender board problems, but they did a really horrible job. Three months later, some wood planks on our wood fence start curving and popping up. I called the company because our DG and our fence are under a year warranty. Jake asked me to email him with photos and he said he would call back to schedule a day for repair. Since then I have not heard back from them; they have completely ghosted me. I waited a month then I started calling and no one will pick up the phone. I've left messages and I sent text messages to project manager, Amanda, who was great at communication at first, but now has completely ghosted me as well. Meanwhile, we're still paying monthly for this backyard that is falling apart way too quickly. I'm going to just hire someone to fix the fence before it damages further. I would not recommend them again. Completely overpriced for what you get.
