    The result

    I have to say that Aguilar's Landscaping exceeded my expectations. I designed my landscaping using CAD software tools and rendered detailed pictorials of the concept, which included lawn, 24" x 24" pavers, California Gold stone, three Citrus trees, bark, and a mix of plants, such as lavender and others that met the HOA requirements which were very specific. In fact, the plan had to be approved by the HOA. Having experience in the building industry including landscaping, I scrutinized how they removed the sand in the lot, prepped the soil, added wire mesh to keep the burrowing critters out, the type of weed preventing ground cloth (which was thick commercial grade; not the thin grey stuff that easily disintegrates), how well they installed that weed preventing ground cloth, the 2x4 perimeter barriers using non-toxic plastic (pressure treated is cheaper, if you don't have pets), how they graded/leveled the backyard, and most importantly, the drip and sprinkler system and network of pipes and control valves tied into the existing timer. The crew took great care to position and level the heavy concrete statuary, which was impressive and beyond my expectations as mentioned earlier. The landscaper confirmed time and again the proper materials, without assumptions. That in itself is huge. Providing a detailed plan and specs are imperative. Israel was thoughtful, caring, knowledgeable, and professional, and the crew was hardworking. In terms of price, it was competitive. Considering the amount of work required, I think that level of work was worth every penny spent, in my opinion. It's been weeks since the job was completed, and the backyard looks terrific from what it was to what it is today. I can relax and enjoy a job well done. And that speaks for itself. What began as a sand-filled lot/backyard, the type of which is seen on a beach, was beyond concerning. It's a new build in a new community setting - Sand was everywhere. Now, it's a low-maintenance yard which makes every cup of coffee sipped taste that much better, while basking in the sun, watching the dogs play, etc. What more can I say? I wanted a low maintenance nice-looking yard with natural grass...mission accomplished! I would hire Aguilar's Landscaping again if I had another property which required landscaping in his area of coverage. (Note that I happened to notice that my next-door neighbor who hired a different landscaper, had similar pavers surrounded by river pebbles installed atop the "thin grey weed-preventing cloth" that I can almost guarantee will disintegrate in due time. And that thin grey weed preventing cloth wasn't even properly installed from the foundation of the house to the fence along the pathway. So, my neighbor will end up with weeds rising through those river pebbles and in between those pavers...and it won't take long, IMO.)

    I can highly recommend Israel and his team. They have done a TON of work for us. Hardscaping, landscaping, fencing, outdoor lighting, retaining wall, irrigation, you name it!!! Every request is answered "no problem". He built a dog wash station with hot water to clean off my dog because she rolls in something, everyday :-) Reasonable prices, great work. Thank you Israel!

    Before

    I hired Israel and his team for my first small project with water-drain and concrete install project in Pebble Beach in march-Apr. I can highly recommend him - I found him to be honest, helpful, hard-working and extremely knowledgeable. So far he has completed 6 more projects and transformed the entire landscaping, hardscaping of the front of our house. See some pictures. My project was very complex and required extremely knowledgeable person. The best part of working with Israel is that he adds more value than expected. Currently he is now working on the backyard projects. He is also maintaining the existing landscaping on a weekly basis. I expect to use his company for many more years to come

    We are very pleased with the work Mr. Aguilar did in our backyard. He removed all existing crabgrass, brought in several cubic yards of dirt to level the yard, installed new irrigation with an automatic timer, laid fresh fescue sod, poured a concrete slab in an irregular area and also poured a nice, 10" wide mow-strip around the perimeter of the entire yard. Wow, what a difference! And he did it all on schedule and also made a couple of suggestions I would not have thought to consider. I would definitely contact Aguilar's Landscaping for any future landscaping needs. Thank you, Mr. Aguilar!

    I am really happy to choose Aguilar's Landscaping. Israel is super responsive and reasonable in every aspect. My house has an awful landscaping situation and also drainage was poor. I have met Israel multiple times to make a plan for french drain, front/backyard/sideways to be paved. He also took care of checking with the city about any requirement of any permit. Once the work started, I love his team as I see so diligent and not missing any day. As my house is sitting on a hill, it is tricky to make the plan - considering the drainage path, and ground grade for better water flow including retaining walls to block sliding dirt. Also, it required several tons of dirt to be dug and dumped. The result after multiple weeks turned out to be a super clean/beautiful and functional/usable yard which all my neighbors are also praising while walking by and driving by. No more worry about water drainage problems either. Israel's pricing is very competitive, but that is not only the reason you need to look. He and his team are super diligent, professional, and friendly. It was super pleasant experience and I really really recommend them.

    Great service! Responsible! Very detailed in his work! Great contractor Also has a great responsible and well oriented crew. They are hard working. Great at what they do! Really recommend his service

    Turf that was installed.
    Jon B.

    They did a great job installing turf and pouring concrete in our backyard. He was super fast with communication and turn around time. He gave options and recommendations that were great. He even came back after to fix a leaking irrigation pipe that he noticed and help me to reconfigure the timer on our sprinkler system. All around I highly recommend their work!

    Israel & Gonzalo are wonderful! They made our sand pit of a backyard into a beautiful lawn & patio for our new construction home in Marina. We found Aguilars on Yelp and are so happy we did! Their pricing was affordable for our budget and the team was professional, courteous & friendly! Our project took about 3 weeks (with a couple rain delays) and since we had a simple design, we had 1-2 dedicated workers each day. The pavers for our patio are incredible! Gonzalo and his associates are true craftsmen! They also extended the width of our driveway by 3 ft with the same pavers. We had frescue sod put in for our lawn and our pup has been very happy. They also installed mulch down one of our never used side yards and decomposed granite (DG) on the side with our gate for easy access for garbage cans. Israel came by a couple weeks later to check in and assist us in setting up our water schedule for our sprinklers. We asked for the fence line planter bed to just have soil & drip line added so we could install our own flowers. They were very accommodating to our needs. They also offer gardening services if you need help maintaining your beautiful yard! Highly recommend Aguilar's Landscaping!

    Installed fake lawn, log bench and hardscape the stairway

    CD We are very happy with our landscaping with Israel. What we really liked about him is that he is so easy to work with. He really does listen to what you want and tries his best to source and deliver your ideas, not his own. He sincerely tries to work with you on what you may want to try. But he can suggest good ideas when you aren't sure what to do. He is very practical and works hard. We had hardscaping done (the long stairway down the side of the house), fake lawn installed, log bench at the top of the lawn, pool pump/filter covered and pergola refurbished.

    Outdoor shower (love this thing so much I don't even shower inside anymore)

    We hired Aguilar's Landscaping for a backyard remodel which included replacement of grass with artificial turf, adding flagstone walkways and some drought tolerant plants, irrigation system replacement, and putting in an outdoor shower. The end product took a little longer than anticipated (Covid supply chain issues), but Israel and his team did an amazing job at a very reasonable cost and we really love the finished product. Highly recommend!!

I confronted the son about this at the time and he refused to do the work stating that it was his dads job even though we had a signed contract. When I confronted the son, just weeks after the original installation, he said that his company isn't Fermin that that was his dads company and refused to honor the defective work. My mistake was not to insist on the younger son to do the work. Again, a total disaster.... good luck if you get him to do any work.

    Third Heaven Review…read more This review is long overdue - Third Heaven began two of our projects during COVID-19. Both our projects were completed by July 2023. In March of 2022, our first project with Third Heaven was to lay a concrete pad for an Endless Pool, install the stone skirting and pavers around the pool, along with other details. It was a huge job in which Juan Carlos Marquez and his team had to work with the pool installer/contractor (separate from Third Heaven) who was NOT as dependable and easy to work with as Third Heaven and Juan Carlos. Nevertheless, Juan Carlos was patient and diplomatic as well as efficient and flexible as he met every challenge the job presented. The results were fantastic! In February of 2023, our second project was the landscaping of the rest of our yard. I had a design in mind to which Juan Carlos was very attentive and kindly made suggestions that helped significantly. He was very forthcoming with prices and affordability as well as keeping us informed of material delays. He was also very patient with me as I asked questions and presented ideas about details I hadn't thought about during the planning process. Here are the highlights that would be very important to me if I needed to find a landscaper (which I don't - I'm hooked on Third Heaven Landscaping :)) Dependable and Honest - Juan Carlos, Third Heaven's owner is true to his word. To me this is invaluable when dealing with any professional. I knew what to expect and when to expect it. He is friendly, amicable, diplomatic, considerate, and very dependable. When there were delays, he let me know as soon as he knew. We never heard excuses or felt deceived. The team he had working on our property was also very dependable and professional. Listens - Juan Carlos listened to my plan and offered helpful suggestions. I was never put off if I wanted to do things my way, nor did I feel he resented me "sticking to my guns". He enabled me to appreciate him making points if he thought one of my ideas might not work. However, he was interested in making sure I was happy with the outcome; of which I undeniably delighted!! Good Ideas - Juan Carlos made suggestions that were helpful. For example, I went with a composite bark for ground cover after he brought me some bark samples. The composite really DID look natural and was considerably less expensive. Also, I had some stepping- stones from my yard that I wanted to use in my rose garden - but couldn't figure out the layout. One of the Third Heaven team members laid them out perfectly. Putting lights in our patio and pool steps was also a brilliant suggestion. I am especially grateful when I have to go out and check on things after dark - much safer than a flashlight and so much prettier! There were a lot of little details which the Third Heaven team and Juan Carlos enhanced the aesthetics of my garden. Accommodates Schedules - Juan Carlos worked with and around COVID-19 and contractor issues, our work schedules, personal events, and travel schedules. He did all that he could to make sure that we were comfortable with what was on the schedule. Follows Up - In all things, Juan Carlos followed up on all arrangements and contract obligations. We appreciate that he did many check-ins to make sure we were happy with the finished project. In closing, we HIGHLY recommend Third Heaven Landscaping and are very happy with their expertise, dependability and being as kind and accommodating to us during our landscaping projects. We truly feel that Juan Carlos Marquez and Third Heaven Landscaping went above and beyond our expectations.

He and his team did a great job in the sewer replacement. They came early on the days of the job and work diligently to complete the work. It was a pretty extensive job, digging two holes, one on the street, one on my property, then SDR 17 pipe was pulled from my property to the main. The Seaside city required the work to include paving the street with 20 ft by 10 ft asphalts to covered the hole on the street. That had took the whole day, but it was beautifully done. The material and amount of work required was actually more than the estimate, but Carlos stuck with the price of the bid. I really appreciate Carlos work ethic. I had worked with several contractors and they had all charged me additional cost on top of the bids. I would recommand Carlos for his professionalism, great communication and honesty.
