Ken Smith does not honor his commitments and does not value the time sensitive nature of his work…read more Our plants die without water and sadly rain has been hard to come by. We had a broken line (one that Ken had worked on recently). As soon as I saw that we had an issue with our irrigation system, I contacted Ken. His response was "Sure Tuesday or Thursday it would be at the end of the day." Great- this is the kind of prompt response you would be glad to receive, if there was follow-through...But there wasn't... he didn't show up at all that week. Then when he admitted to not completing his commitment and I asked to please get to it earlier than "the following Wednesday." He refused and said go find someone else. Thanks, I will.

I should have heeded the other negative reviews of this guy. We had a emergency leak in our system,…read moreso I contacted Ken Smith. He said he could come a week and a half later. He would not give me an actual time, even though I asked. I put in on my calendar and waited. Day of the appointment we were really busy around the house trying to get things ready for an event. I expected Ken to show up "afternoon or evening" whatever that meant. I guess I was supposed to be checking my phone the whole day hoping he would contact me, but I was busy and figured he'd show up like he said. Nope. Later I saw a text from him about a time and wrote him back and nothing. I apologized for not seeing his text earlier and wrote him a couple times over the course of a week. No response at all. So, if you want to deal with a guy who seems to think he's doing you a favor, won't give an appointment time, and just has an attitude, then Ken Smith might be the clown for you.

Jerry and his team were absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish on our backyard…read moreremodel. They gave us great suggestions for layout, color, and material ideas, provided regular updates and answered questions through the entire construction process, cleaned up well when the project was complete, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of all the work they did. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

All the work has been excellent and the staff very professional.

We highly recommend Jerry and his staff for any of your landscaping needs. Please take a look at the before and after photos.

Their bid was reasonable and competitive and everything went smoothly. Manuel and his brother Eluid are professional, communicative and very knowledgeable. It is such a relief to have a home project go smoothly without problems, delays or hiccups. I'm so happy with my beautiful backyard!

We have used Sanchez Brothers for three major projects at our house and they have done an excellent…read morejob on all three projects. We hired them to re-landscape our front yard, which was not an easy task. They handled the demo, re-leveling, sprinkler system, installation of plants, sod, installed pavers for a wall and stairs from the sidewalk, laid concrete for a new walkway, installed a new fence and installed outside lighting in the new front yard. I'm sure I left out other things, but they provided a skilled and professional crew to do all of this and this was just our first project. They also replaced a fence in our backyard (second project) and then we recently hired them again to replace our backyard deck (two levels). Each experience has been absolutely stress free and amazing. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone that needs work done. They listened to us, kept us informed, and worked through some difficult weather at times to get the job done.

We had Miguel and his team do a complete rehaul of our backyard, and we could not be happier with…read morethe results. From start to finish, Miguel was incredibly responsive and communicative. He brought us samples to choose from, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process surprisingly easy. His crew was respectful, kind, and clearly skilled at what they do. The final amount we paid matched exactly what he quoted us (with a little extra only for additions we chose along the way, which were always communicated in advance-- no surprises). Our backyard has been completely transformed into a space we'll use every single day. They installed a new deck, retaining wall, turf, drainage systems, a new fence and gates, planters, irrigation, pathway, and planted beautiful new plants and trees throughout the yard. We actually found them here on Yelp, and I'll admit I was a little skeptical of all the glowing reviews-- but they absolutely lived up to the hype. I would hire Miguel and his team again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone looking for backyard or landscaping work.

Stanley came over to check our project (converting lawn to draught-tolerant landscape). Simple…read moreproject, not too many bells or whistles. He said that depending on the kind of plants we wanted, and whether we chose decomposed granite or flagstone for a small path, we'd be looking at $3000-5000, but that he would give us a formal estimate after he finished a couple of projects. We waited, touched base, he asked for more time, almost done with his previous work, then he got Covid and was out for a while... Months went by. I asked if he was still interested in our project. "Very interested!", he said. He finally came over and measured the yard. Two weeks later he texted me that the estimate came out to be $23000. I couldn't believe my eyes. I texted him right away, thinking that perhaps he was confusing me with another client. I called him, went to voicemail. He has since ghosted me. All the time we wasted waiting for him to finally get on with our project we could have used to find other landscapers. This could have been done so many months ago. We were played. How does an experienced landscaper goes from $3-5k to $23k? How does that happen? What a disrespectful way to treat customers...

Stephen is truly a master at his craft. We've loved his work and designs so much, we've now done…read moretwo yards with him! We specifically enjoyed Stephen's approach because it was so "design" minded, compared to other landscaping companies that want you to have your own plan/design in mind- Stephen really takes the time to think through what you want, translate what you're looking for, and put it into a design that really works both aesthetically and functionally. He didn't hesitate to let us know when something we said we wanted, actually didn't match up with our goals - I appreciated the honesty and transparency.

Our backyard was a clay bound mess. If it rained during the winter, sorrel and other weeds would…read morecome out in the spring and it would become a hay field filled with knee high weeds. By the time the warm weather came around, our hardy weeds would wear down to a brown dust on top of packed clay soil. We might have tried parking cars on the hard pack. It was a hot dusty mess. When the rain came, one day of rain could turn the hard pack into a morass of sticky gooey mud which was hard to clean off the feet, and hard to clean off the dog. Our backyard was unusable about 3/4 of the year. Finally, we had a couple of slopes in the backyard that were a challenge to know what to do with...it was not an easy place, full of work. The best thing (among many) is that Steve is knowledgeable about plants, how they respond to the weather, and where they will grow. He is also willing to work with you, listen to you, incorporate your ideas, convictions, wishes and desires for the planning of your landscape. I do believe Steve was tired of seeing our number on his caller ID when we called, but he always got back to us, answered our questions and made adjustments as he went. We were definitely heard in our wishes. LIving Earth Gardens handled our soil construction (where they turned it from clingy, muddy cement to soil that would grow stuff) They cleared brush, the planted trees, fruit trees, and put in a drip system to help us water it all. From start to finish they had the tools and know how. They also put in some stairs to make the slope navigable. You will find the whole staff energetic, positive and conscientious. We are pleased with our yard and the effort that was made to get us there.
