When I decided to redo my backyard, I consulted with several contractors. My primary goals were to…read morereplace an aging deck and to cover the yard in pavers reducing the weed potential, which had been an ongoing problem for years. I chose pavers because they have a better track record for longevity than concrete. When I got back the proposals, I appreciated that the one from Forever Green Cali reflected everything I had mentioned in our initial meeting and had the best price. It was clear that attention had been paid during the meeting. Once selected as the contractor, the work began pretty quickly, nailing down details, making selections, identifying the things to stay, etc. The demolition of the existing deck and cleanup of the weeds went fairly quickly. And there were a lot of weeds. The rest of the work of preparing the foundation and sand and then laying the pavers went very quickly as well. Their employees worked very hard and with precision. I had an existing orange tree that was remaining and I really liked the outline that was made around it, including the darker accent pavers. I wanted a tree on the other side of the yard and I had failed to emphasize where I wanted it. When I asked about making a change to pavers already laid out in order to adjust for the tree, Firas was quick to accommodate me, and his employee made the change in no time. This cut out mimics the cut out for the orange tree and really complements it. As a novice at this sort of thing, I appreciated the good suggestions Firas made throughout the process. He and his team were very easy to work with. Part of this process included using their landscape designer to design the planting beds that were around the perimeter. She really took into consideration the kinds of plants I liked and the color scheme that I wanted. After our trip to the nursery, she provided a schematic so that I could anticipate what it would look like and also serve as a guide for the planting of the yard. I absolutely love the result. It is precisely what I wanted. I love the patio that replaced the deck. The edge is trimmed in a darker bullnose paver that makes it visually clear that there is a step down and the lights under the step emphasize this transition. Having broken my arm in the yard five months ago, this is a safety feature that I really appreciate. My backyard is now a much safer place to be which was a primary incentive for this entire project. Did I mention that I love my backyard? It's now a calm and tranquil place to relax. I cannot recommend Forever Green Cali highly enough. If I were to ever have another yard that needed assistance, I would definitely use them again.

It was time for Kelly and I to do our backyard landscape and since we know nothing of landscaping,…read moreI was in need of a designer, consultant , and installer. Finding all of these different types of people and getting them together to understand a clients specific landscape needs while at the same time meeting a schedule and budget can be very difficult and frustrating. My wife and I were at that point until we found Chris Corbett on the internet. Chris was able to meet all of our landscape needs. Since he is formally educated in landscape design, he was able to sit down with us and develop a landscape scheme in a very short time and provide us with drawings. Since Chris is a long time local resident of Davis, he was able to give us great consultation on the types of plants and trees that are indigenous to the area and would thrive in our yard. However, the best part about his business plan is that he personally does the installation of all of the landscape. This allowed me a piece of mind that all of my wishes and desires were going to be met, because no matter how well a set of drawings are presented , there are many aspects of what a client wants that cannot be conveyed on paper. That is established during the constant communication and verbal agreements. Since Chris is a part of every step of the process, none of that continuity between client and installer is lost. Chris met every expectation with regards to schedule and budget. He and his team were always professional and on time at every step of the way. His pricing of the project was exceptionally accurate so there were no surprises at any time during the project. He thoroughly understood our budget constraints and kept that in mind during the drawing process, material selection, and final installation to provide us with a beautiful finished product without breaking the bank. Chris has an extraordinary work ethic and his end goal is to make the client happy. I would highly recommend Chris for any type of landscape project large or small, and to go to anyone else would just be making it harder on yourself. Randy & Kelly Clark

We had few ideas on what we wanted, but several ideas about what we did not want. Raquel (Solea Landscapes) listened carefully and designed a beautiful yard, complete with 3D renderings so we could really envision her ideas in our space. They worked with us, even inviting us to shop with them for pots and plants. Steve and Awaken Landscapes did an amazing job in executing her design. Jose and his crew were quick, efficient, and cheerful. They responded positively to our every request, and they kept the job site clean and neat, even with all the mud from February's downpours. Our new front yard is everything I hoped for: beautiful, unique, low on water usage, and easy to maintain. The end result is the talk of the neighborhood. The first night that the accent lights lit up our new yard brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Steve, Raquel, and all the great folks at Awaken Landscapes.

He and his crew showed up the next day and completed the work as promised. Unfortunately my dreams are bigger than my budget so the rest of the recommendations will have to wait until next month. Bottom line...I'm a single woman who has been taken advantage of by many "handymen". Francisco listened to my thoughts and concerns and guided me in the right direction. I know nothing about irrigation and don't really care to...I just need it to water my plants, not waste water and most importantly not blow up like it did after the "handyman" did the repair. I'm quickly learning to hire the people skilled in the trade, it might cost a little more up front but they do it everyday and paying for that experience will save in the long run. I just paid for this same repair a year ago that was half a$$ but I'm confident it's done right now and if something happens Francisco will make it right! Finding a contractor with integrity who really cares about quality work and customer satisfaction is rare these days. You won't be disappointed in his work. I'm extremely happy with everything that Francisco and his crew did and am looking forward to having them back next month to make my yard even better! My backyard oasis is definitely becoming a reality with this crew on my side! Thank you, Francisco...looking forward to seeing you next month! Thanks for the excellent work and my new shutoff valve for my sprinklers!
