    AMAZING job. Friendly, professional, punctual! And the price was right for the quality work delivered

    Professional, punctual, and a good price for the work delivered. I can absolutely recommend this business!

    Wall Weep Screed
    Mark M.

    Called Barnyard Specialties to help us address a water issue we were having inside a storage room. The building is an old house that was converted into a commercial retail space. The concrete in the rear area was poured over the wall weep screed so water was slowing being absorbed into the wall and creating a mold situation inside. Micah from Barnyard met me onsite and he spent a lot more time than expected measuring and talking over options. Micah was very knowledagble and found creative ways to remedy the situation while still considering our budget. During the design conversation he made quick calls out to his subcontractors to verify costs and timing so everyone could jump in and tackle this project as a team. I've been a contractor in San Diego for 40 years, have run crews and worked along side many other long-time trade professionals. I was impressed with this initial meeting so much we hired Micah and his team at Barnyard the next morning and we couldn't have been happier. The pre-planning we did and coordination from the start made the entire process run smoothly to the end. We ended up removing all the existing concrete that was poured too high and sloped toward the building. Removed more than 8-tons of dirt. Sawcut the exiting slab tight to the wall for a good look which required removing 36" of stucco to get the big sawblade tight to the wall. Re-stuccoed the walls with a new weep screed and installed several new in-ground drains and down spout connections. big jobs, small jobs all add up to many small details, if someone pays attention to all the details you have a winner. If you're looking for a job to be completed right the first time and working with happy, pleasant people, look no further than Barnyard Specialties. Thank you Micah and your team for working through our small but tough situation.

    This company is A#1, very kind and listened to my concerns. But with a minimum charge of $300.00 they were too much over my budget for trimming a 6' Japanese Maple. They would be better for larger projects.

    We had Micah and his team to a full landscape remodel of our front yard and all I can say is WOW! If I could give them 10 stars, I would. He and his team were so nice, clean and punctual. The work that they did was fantastic. We loved it so much, we even added on a remodel of out front steps from brick to pavers and we are super happy with the results. Ava does the design concept and she is wonderful to work with. She listens to what you want and gives you great suggestions of what will work in your space. We would absolutely use them again if we moved. Highly recommend! Added some of the before and after pictures.

    Micah and the team are awesome! I reached out to have them give me a quote to manually move a 1000+ lbs boulder from the front of my house, through a small side yard, and place/position it under a tree in my backyard. My side yard was too narrow for a skid steer to be used, so the team had to coordinate manually moving the boulder. Micah came out 2 weeks before to assess the job and give me a quote. The quote beat out every other quote I received and Micah's explanation of how they would do it and gave me a ton of confidence. On the day of the project, Micah's team showed up punctually, they cared for my home (putting down plywood to protect my pavers even when I said I didn't mind if they got scuffed up), and were extremely patient with me as we adjusted the boulder into the specific place and orientation we wanted. Afterward, Micah and the crew offered to get rid of the pallets the stone had been sitting on for me (otherwise, who knows how long they would have been taking up space on my side yard). They also hosed down and cleaned off the front of my house without even saying anything -- these guys just go above and beyond. I am planning on re-landscaping my upper yard and removing/replacing a tree. I will with out a doubt be using this team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

    Before the work...

    Micah and his crew were nothing short of professionals. We discussed a project and they went above and beyond the agreement just the leave the place looking better than it had. Would recommend to anyone looking for landscape/hardscape

    Their estimate was shockingly high. I don't know how they came up with those numbers. But it was more than double the other estimates I got.

Roland was our contractor and he gave us very reasonable estimates and stayed within budget and stuck to the timeline. They did artificial turf in our front yard and added a concrete step pathway to our front door. We were extremely happy with the way it turned out. They also did a waterfall feature in our backyard which did have a few issues, like the motor going out several times. However, every time we reached out to Roland, he followed through and sent his guys to resolve the issue. He stands behind his work, and even when the motor stopped working after a year, he sent one of his guys to buy us a new motor and get it installed without charging us for it. We were absolutely impressed with the way this company takes care of their clients and does not give up until the customer is 100% satisfied. Last month, we contacted Roland asking if he could do a small job for us; we wanted artificial turf installed on the small strip of dirt on the other side of our driveway, and even though the job was super small, Roland agreed to take the job. We had gotten another estimate from someone else and Roland's quote was far more reasonable. He sent his guys and they got the job done in two days. Overall, we are impressed with the quality of work, the very reasonable pricing, and integrity of standing behind their work. While landscaping companies are a dime a dozen, good ones are hard to find. Roland and his team at Newland Landscape are pure gold.

My wife and I lease a home in Seal Beach and last year the owner wanted to increase the lease amount at renewal. We knew this additional money would go directly in their pocket and my family would get zero benefit from it. In a moment of genius I countered with "What if we up date the backyard instead" that way your property value could benefit and my family gets a nicer backyard to spend time in. He agreed and everyone was happy. Fast forward to getting the work done: When I made contact with this company they were very courteous and responsive. They came out to the property and spent over two hours with my wife and I going over the possibilities. Of course we shared our budget (I won't share here) and they promised to get back with a couple of design choices. Four days later we got the call, met for coffee and reviewed the options. Every option was within budget making the hardest part deciding which to go with. We eventually decided (my wife did) and they put the wheels in motion. Understanding we were not their only client we knew there would be a slight delay in getting started. During this time we got constant updates and a short 30 days later we were enjoying our new backyard. It was 100% worth the wait and we recommend this family owned business without hesitation.

An architectural designer friend recommended her, and we quickly discovered first-hand why. We had an esthetic in mind, a short wish-list, and a budget, but we've never done a project like this before. We needed a partner to transform our ideas into our dream backyard. Within a few days of coming out, Brianah presented a design that encapsulated our vision into something real and beautiful. She expanded on our good ideas and where our ambitions exceeded our budget, she showed us ways to get the same and maybe even better esthetic with much less demolition. We really appreciate how continually she checked in, walking the yard before and after each major project step, asking for continual feedback and tweaking the design to her and our suggestions along the way. Our backyard is now our oasis, a magical spot with a wild feel, continually changing, flowering, and growing. We love to see how the space changes through the year and how much our daughter enjoys exploring it. The only challenge is, when guests come over, we must coax them inside for dinner because the backyard is so pleasant and relaxing. We loved the experience of working the Briannah and Rooted Landscape Design. And, we love our backyard.

Joe came out to give us an estimate, and while I was speaking with him I could tell he had a vision for our redesigned lawn.

Anthony assured me that didn't matter. All that mattered was water. They ALL died within a few months 2) I was told the drip system they installed could be adjusted for each plant to get more or less water. Not true 3) I explained the dirt they were planting in was old and depleted. I was told the dirt didn't matter. They did not treat the dirt or even fertilize what they planted. 4) the drip system they put in had a control that it has a 300 page online manual. Even their installer didn't know how to set it up and was unable to explain it to me. YET he told me it needed to be updated every 6 months when we changed the batteries. Of course we were not told about this requirement until instalation was completed. As I said earlier we are elderly! I asked for a simpler timer and they said there was no option. 5) they are NOT woman owned and operated. Yes, the scamming husband put the company in his wife's name for tax purposes but she CLEARLY knows nothing about plants or landscaping. When I had them come out to see the dead plants she never spoke. Her husband and Anthony did all the arguing and yelling and put all the blame on us. I have never experienced such lack of professionalism in any service industry. All I asked for, and still feel we are entitled to, is a refund. The dead plants have been removed, the inadequate drip system has been removed, and we are starting over. I was duped by a morally bankrupt company. Don't be fooled by the fake reviews on their web page! They have no place to leave a review on their web page and they aren't here so where did those reviews come from?? THEY ARE SCAMMERS! BE WARNED!
