I went to Brentwood Decorative Rocks about a week ago for the first time for boulders. The guys…read morethere were super friendly and helpful. I was able to pick out which specific boulder I wanted (some where at the bottom of piles) and the guys dug them out, weighed them and loaded them to the back up my truck. I was seriously out of there in 20 minutes. The lot is really well kept and clean for a place that sells rocks, boulder and much. Their prices are a lot better than I was expecting. I love my boulders and I honestly can't wait to go back for more. Thank you guys for such a great experience!

This business totally ruined my garden dreams. They took advantage of a sick person who has been…read morebedridden for the last two years and just started getting out of bed and started gardening. I purchased their 420 gardening mix which THEY THEMSELVES RECOMMEND for gardening purposes. When I started watering the soil, as the water contacted the soil it became apparent that is was mostly sand. I proceeded to do a quick soil test where you put your soil in a jar and shake it. The contents will fall on to the bottom and separate into layers. To my eye, it looked like it was 60-70% sand. I kept calling asking questions about the soil, BUT Theresa, the owner kept going in circles, repeating their no refund policy and stating they haven't had issues with the soil. Understandably so I got impatient and upset with Theresa and told her that the product is a scam. I will admit, I was upset and hung up on her as she DID NOT APOLOGIZE ONCE. She kept telling me "I'm sorry you feel this way but the soil is good, I don't know what to tell you." The whole time I was on the phone with her, which was multiple times, she never told me that she was the owner. I asked to speak to a manager. She gave a number to call. Well, it turns out she referred me to her soil supplies. This guy mixes the soil himself. According to him it is 50% sand. A quick google search will tell you that soil should not contain more than 25% sand. Their supplier, whom Theresa referred me to, told me the sand content is 50%!!!!!!!!!! I spent 4K thousand dollars on this garden, paid guys to fill the beds and not I have 5 cubic yards of unusable soil. I posted about this in my local Facebook page and other people are reporting the same issue. I'm being quoted thousands to dig it up and dispose of it. This soil should not be marketed as a gardening soil. I'm sure it's great for other things but not gardening. It is a scam and it will ruin your gardening dreams. I also purchased some pea gravel, that I love. But their gardening mix is flawed and needs fixing. Please don't make the same mistake as I did. This business has no integrity and goes as far as to slander their customers and make it out to be the customers fault. I hung up on Theresa because of many reasons one for them being that I'm severely ill from very difficult medication I'm taking and running to the bathroom with nausea and vomiting multiple times per day. The owner has since attacked me personally online on Facebook where I asked if people were having issues with the soil. She hasn't apologized or attempted to try to remedy any of it.

We had an idea and Joe and his crew took it from there and turned what was once an aged landscape into a beautiful paved porch with fence. We described what we had in mind for a fence and they designed and built it, turned out more than we could have imagined. Can't say enough about the crew and of course Joe. They are so neat, friendly and keep you posted at each part of the project. Their ideas are amazing. We would recommend them highly. Thanks for the great porch and steps.

This company is bad at curbed edging and terrible at customer service. It's a shame because they…read morecame well recommended two years ago. It seems that has changed. This business was fairly professional at first, although hard to get ahold of. The curbing came out splotchy and discolored, and there were chips and cracks as well. They also placed the curbed edging across drip watering lines, rather than moving them slightly to the side (the lines didn't have to cross under the curbing...they ran parallel). When told about the sprinkler line issue, the chips in the cement, and the fractured surface they were dismissive. When told about the cracking that resulted from shallow, insufficient contraction joints, they said "that's standard." It's funny how the other ten houses with curbed edging on our street didn't have any of these problems...clearly it's not standard. After two weeks, I showed the owner the discoloration in person. He was defensive and irritable from the start. I was taken aback by his attitude. He said "concrete is supposed to be discolored for the first month...it will resolve after a few more weeks." When I pointed to all the other edging on our block that isn't discolored, he said "those companies added too much water. That's why their concrete is a uniform color." I asked him if he would come back in a few weeks if the discoloration continued, he said "Sure, but that's just how it is." Now we can't reach the company. This was a bad job all around, and it didn't come cheap either. Worse yet, they were rude and defensive as soon as problems arose.

Green Planet Landscaping has earned a Five-Star rating for their installation of the artificial…read morelawn in our father's front yard. The natural grass was hard to maintain, since the sprinklers were not functioning properly, but the artificial lawn has vastly improved the curb appeal of our father's property. Without increasing estimated costs, Green Planet Landscaping surprised us with an additional amenity that actually rectified an issue raised by the local HOA. Thus, we are 110 percent satisfied with their service. Inasmuch as I live several hours away from Brentwood and Discovery Bay, I did not have the pleasure of meeting Alan in person. However, our communications were very effective and I am delighted to have completed this task as our father's Power-of-Attorney.

When moving to the city of Oakley, our home is a new construction so our backyard is all dirt and…read morewe had to submit an approval to the HOA. After living in our home for a year, it was time to redesign our backyard. I submitted a price quote request on Yelp and received a few responses to schedule a consultation. After meeting with other landscape companies, my choice was to go with Alan at Green Planet Landscape. It wasn't just about the price quote, but Alan's thoughtful ideas and recommendation made us trust him even more with the project. He would make sure our backyard would look amazing and presentable. He drew a sketch design for us to submit to the HOA. After we got an approval from the HOA for the project, Alan scheduled us within a few days. Alan first introduced me to Angel to have him do a walkthrough around the backyard. We had them install stone walls, pavers, artificial turf, and planter beds. The project lasted about 3 days and they did a fantastic job on transforming our backyard. My wife is so in love with plants and was very happy they planted her plants in the soil. Our dogs were so excited and love playing on the turf. I would highly recommend Green Planet Landscape. We finally are comfortable to contact them in the near future.

Hands down the easiest concrete company experience I've ever had…read more I'm a GC and have been in business for about 10 years, pouring concrete regularly. This project was outside my usual area, so going in without any existing relationships was a bit of a concern--but Byron and his team delivered across the board. He coordinated everything seamlessly--concrete, pump, and even helped us out when my crew left tools behind in another town by quickly getting us what we needed on site. That level of responsiveness goes a long way when you're trying to keep a job moving. Super easy to communicate with, quick response times, and overall just a great team player. If I could give six stars, I would. I really wish his company was closer to where we typically work--I'd use him every single time. Also, for context--most of the reviews I saw were from homeowners. As a contractor, I'll say this: when you're coordinating a larger pour, it makes a big difference working with a true professional. Concrete companies are there to supply and support--they're not there to run your entire project--and Byron's team did exactly what they're supposed to do, and did it well.

We had a great, long, but great experience with Chris and his team. He was a bit more expensive but…read morewe gave him a chance to review our other top quote and he matched it! We were going for a large 19x19 outdoor bar/grill and seating area. Unfortunately, the city prevented us and since Chris is ethical, we settled on a 19x13. Some companies would just build it and not give a shit when you have to demolish it later due to city codes. I have a neighbor from hell who would love to call the police. The city made the process drag out for almost a year. No fault to his company. Once they finished, we were in love! Check out the pictures for yourself! Feel free to use our pictures as an example of what you want! He's ready!! Oh, we have a pool and his team is trained on how to avoid hitting equipment. :)

Very disappointed in this company. I purchased a home with water feature in the backyard that was…read morebuilt by them. We were looking for a possible leak and I contacted them asking if they offered any type of maintenance on their equipment since we don't know what to look for or how it works. We were told there were some valves and a shut off valve located on auto fill feature. Again, not being familiar with any of the equipment involved with said feature we weren't sure what to look for. We ended up digging up the rocks and finding that it was in fact the auto fill feature not stopping causing it to constantly drain out the front of our home. Immediately called the company and left a message and haven't even received a call back. I ended up calling another company to come help me with the feature and show me how the system works. The only advice I received from AJs was they don't offer maintenance and they recommended I call a leak detection company. For the amount of money the former homeowner paid for this backyard I'm extremely disappointed in the lack of care for their faulty water feature, the lack of compassion for helping me to understand how the system worked and the lack of response.

Customer I have received has always been top notch, A+ and unlike HD I can find people on Ace that can actually answer project questions. Their selection is always really good, everything from plumbing, hardware to even Yeti coolers. Oh and I can't forget about their amazing pies they sell. Lastly, anytime I don't have to buy hardware from Amazon it's a good day. I truly understand the need for Amazon but I don't want to see Brick & Mortar establishments like Ace and other places like it disappear. As for value their prices are in line with Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.

I had the same experience as a couple of other people who have left reviews. Greg is a nice guy,…read moreand I really like him personally, which is why I honestly didn't want to have to write this review. However, I feel like my job was relatively small and simply wasn't a high priority. I was originally told the job would take about 4-5 days, but it ended up taking closer to three months. Greg told me they would start on June 22, but that didn't happen. I believe they actually started the work around July 28 and finally finished on August 24. There were several times when the guys were supposed to show up in the morning, but they wouldn't arrive until the afternoon, would only work for part of the day, or wouldn't show up at all. Greg was always very nice and had an explanation, but the delays became frustrating. Unfortunately, after the job was completed and I had made the final payment, I noticed there was a gap underneath my gate where the turf did not cover the ground. I first contacted Greg about it on August 27, and a month later, I'm still trying to get it fixed. I've attached a picture so you can see the issue. Greg told me he doesn't have any extra turf left to fill the gap, but said he would come back and replace the bricks that were there previously. I'm still waiting to see if that happens. Overall, Greg is a nice person and I believe he means well, but based on my experience, I would recommend making sure you have a clear timeline before hiring them. If you have a larger project, you may have a different experience, but if you have a smaller job, I would personally consider getting another company to do it. I'll update this review if and when the gap is finally fixed. I guess all I had to do was post this review because Greg came by and fixed it today so I added a star to my review.
