Taven came in and picked up where the last landscaper left off, seamlessly matching the hardscape that was half-finished. The result? So much better than we could have imagined with the other landscaper. The lighting he added is incredible. In one word: WOW! From the very start, Taven took immense care in working with us through each step, making us feel like his top priority. A few months after completing our front yard, we had him come back to redo the landscaping and hardscape in our backyard. His crew is incredibly kind and hardworking, ensuring our satisfaction every step of the way. Taven even drove to many nurseries to hand-pick top-quality plants for us. He is truly a master at his craft, and the lighting he added makes our backyard feel magical. We are absolutely blown away. We now look forward to enjoying our yard every night. Highly recommend The Landscape Contractor!

My first experience with Taven began over 12 years ago. We needed to upgrade our front yard with…read moreall new hard scape and soft scape, as well as a new driveway. We had met with several contractors but none provided the vision and the details as to how we should design our front yard. The transformation he did to our front yard was amazing!! We still get compliments today from neighbors and friends who come over. Now in 2023, we wanted Taven to come back and help us redesign our backyard, as well as refresh the front yard landscaping. My husband told Taven, "you set the bar so high last time, can you do it again?".....well HE DID! What he did exceeded our expectations! Taven replaced all of our planter beds, installed paver stones, artificial grass, and selected the perfect plants all within 4 days as promised. I thought, no way, but he did!! He brings his whole team in who are very professional, always on time and cleaned up every day. The finishing touch with the lighting is what makes it next level. There is no one else I would ever call and recommend him highly!!

I recently hired Excel Masonry for a major front yard renovation, and I'm happy with the results. I…read moredealt directly with the owner Eric on a day to day basis. Eric was very easy to work with--his communication was excellent throughout the project, which made the whole process much smoother. The job included a full transformation of my front yard: a beautiful two-tier block wall, dividing wall, courtyard, modern floating steps, turf installation, lighting and custom gates. Like with any big project, there were a few hiccups along the way, but what really stood out was how quickly and professionally Eric handled them. He made sure everything was taken care of and completed to my satisfaction. The pricing was competitive, and the timeline was quicker than I expected. I'd definitely recommend Excel Masonry to anyone looking for quality work and a contractor who stands by their word.

His prices are extremely reasonable and the quality of his work is consistent. One time we had an issue on a Sunday afternoon and he came an hour later to help us. His work consisted of designing a new sprinkler system for a large yard, planters, and raised beds. He came back one or two times to work out kinks as we adjusted sprinkler timing and location. Also, fixed fence posts for far less than we had expected and aerated, seeded, and laid topper on our lawn. It has never looked better! Strongly recommend.

Many sprinklers were clogged. We followed up and unfortunately they weren't being transparent about why they couldn't do the same work for the front and backyard.

Mango tree was about to fall off, bushes are overdue for trimming. We are not impressed with the manager of this company. This is all about money for him.

Grass grew in the front, not the back and when we asked them about it it was our fault because the valve for the sprinklers in the back was broken. Interesting since the original quote included three new valves yet they never installed a new one in the back. Ended up costing about $4,000 and now going to have to hire a new company to fix the mess they created in the back yard. USE WITH CAUTION -- THEY ARE SMOOTH TALKERS AND GREAT SALESPEOPLE BUT THEY DO NOT PERFORM ON THEIR CONTRACT AND NICKLE AND DIME YOU AT EVERY TURN $350 ADDITIONAL FOR A $30 VALVE THAT WAS INCLUDED WITH THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE
