He took the time to explain that the stone is naturally layered and that some surface flaking over time is normal. After showing me the underlying layer, it was clear the stone itself was solid and that no repair was actually needed. I really appreciated David's honesty and integrity -- it would have been easy to recommend unnecessary work, but instead he explained what was happening and reassured me that the patio is in good shape. I'll absolutely keep their contact information for future projects and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Him and his team were very easy to work with and everyone was very professional from start to finish. They were all very knowledgeable and gave their expert opinion on what design and layout would work the best. Everyone on David's team was also very responsive and patient as well. They finished the entire job in just two days which was amazing. They took one day to level and clear the area and another day to add in all of the pavers. Even though the project was probably more on the smaller end, the level of attention and detail David and his team provided was top notch. I would definitely reach out to David again for any future landscaping projects!

We had a great experience working with RB Landscaping. After shopping around, they were the only…read moreones who said they would be able to complete a curved Saltillo/ Terracotta path. We hashed out the details with Nate over email. Our area was 8.5 feet by 21.5 feet and involved digging out the subgrade, setting concrete and rebar, tiles (including a curved path), and gravel. We set the construction date for February 19th which lasted until February 25th. Jesus, the foreman, was great at communicating the steps required for the build. He would often check in to make sure that we got the end product we desired and was receptive to feedback for the design. With their workmanship guarantee, we have nothing to worry about. Overall, the process was smooth and hassle free. We would be happy to recommend them to others for their landscaping needs.

Great turnaround time!! Price was reasonable and they didn't try to force us to spend more than we needed to. Jesus and his team made sure my husband and I were involved in every step of the process. He explained his concerns and what they were going to do to try to fix it. He even came back after the project was done the next day to make sure it was installed correctly and he checked the drainage multiple times with a hose. It has yet to be battle tested by the weather but I'm happy with how it turned out! We are even considering them for another project.

Earlier this year, Machtinger Landscaping installed a French drain around my house. They did a…read morefantastic job so I contacted Noah Machtinger again, this time to help me with landscaping. My yard was in awful shape. It was an unsightly patch of mainly hard, brown dirt that wrapped around the perimeter of my house, punctuated with mounds of loose dirt kicked up by gophers. I wanted to transform my yard into an attractive garden but didn't know where to begin. Working with Ben, a landscape architect Noah recommended, we came up with a beautiful design that worked within our budget. The plan called for, among other things, installing a new irrigation system, a small lawn area, several trees, dozens of plants, and a pathway that wrapped around the yard. The project took four weeks to complete, and my wife and I are elated with the results! We now have a beautiful, inviting yard. Even our neighbors have offered passing compliments. From the very get-go, we had no doubts that Machtinger Landscaping would do a stellar job (as they did with our French drain). During the project, Noah often came to our house and briefed us on the progress, answered any questions we had, and made sure his crew had all the necessary tools and supplies so that there would be no delays in the work. Along the way, we even had Noah help us replace a broken fence and add three wooden steps to a sloped area of the yard (not part of the original plan), which he dealt with promptly. We felt comfortable and cared for in Noah's hands. In particular, I want to give a shoutout to Ernesto and his crew (Gustavo, Arturo, and Javier). All of them are highly skilled, experienced, hardworking, professional, friendly, and kind. Ernesto made several aesthetic and practical suggestions that were not part of our original plan. We concurred with all of them. As a result, our garden exceeded the original plan because of Ernesto's suggestions. In addition to their professionalism, my wife and I were especially impressed with the evident care, dedication, and pride that Noah, Ernesto, Gustavo, Arturo, and Javier take in their work. Thank you!

We have had an excellent experience working with this company. This is the third landscaping…read morecompany we have worked with over our 4 years living here in San Mateo and we could not be happier. There are 3 big projects for which we contracted with Zarco Landscaping, because they continually performed above and beyond on the work. The first project was for a room that would flood when it rains. The team at Zarco quickly diagnosed the problem as poor gutter placement and cracks in concrete on the floor above, and they worked rapidly to connect a new sewer system and rebuild our concrete walkway. There has been no more flooding. The second project was to improve the terrain and usability of our backyard, which is on a hill that was very difficult to navigate. The Zarco team completely transformed the area, building stone steps and leveling the land with premium soil, mulch, and stone. Please see the attached photos (we wish we had before pictures, but it was all dirt and invasive plants before on a steep incline)! Lastly, our third project had to be done rapidly after the recent storms in the bay area. We needed three very large and dead trees removed that were at risk of falling on our house or the street. The Zarco team came the next day to remove all of the trees. Overall, the Zarco team has always delivered amazing service and treated us with respect. The prices are also very reasonable and competitive with quotes we received from other businesses. If you live in San Mateo or the Bay Area, we strongly recommend calling Zarco Landscaping for all of your outdoor needs!

There were a couple of miscommunications along the way, and we were impressed with how quickly and professionally he responded and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. He even spotted some work done by other contractors that needed repairing and did the work. We plan to use Zarco Gardens for our future front yard project. Highly recommend!

We engaged her for…read moreconsultation around what types of plants, trees and shrubs to include across our front and back yard spaces. We had specific goals around creating a landscape with colorful, drought tolerant, California-native options and Karen knocked it out of the park. Here is what we appreciated most about Karen: - She actively listened to our needs and responded with a wealth of ideas that she helped focus down with our input - She was well organized and highly responsive, using Houzz, Plant Master and documents to guide discussions. - She thoughtfully pushed our thinking and was detail-oriented as we moved from concept stage to making requests of our gardener and nurseries Lastly, we were very pleased with the range of packages/pricing she offered since we only needed consultation vs. end-to-end landscaping support.
