Breceda Landscape transformed our front yard a few years ago and created a beautiful serene landscape with succulent specimens, artistically placed boulders and a dry river bed. a new irrigation system was installed addressing the new landscape. The installation crew were very professional, neat and thorough. The entire project exceeded our expectations and the cost was very reasonable. Because of our past positive experience, Breceda Landscape will now transform another area of the property and we look forward to relying on their advice, knowledge and expertise. D.

There are not enough good words in the dictionary to describe our experience with Breceda Landscaping. From the get go, Eric and Teran were very upfront and honest with us about everything we wanted, and how best to make it work. They understood our vision for a complete backyard remodel, and helped us work within our budget to get the backyard of our dreams. This included completely new plants, sod, outdoor lighting, a new outdoor kitchen, refacing our fireplace, putting in pavers, a new deck with a custom spiral staircase, and building in play areas for children. As with any project of this scope, there were surprises along the way. Our lawn drainage system was shot and needed to be redone. Our original plan was to not replace the entire deck, just the decking, but once they started we realized the beams were shot and actually a hazard. Each time, they were extremely fair with the pricing and always kept our budget in mind. The professionalism and craftsmanship of Valdez and his team were amazing. Our daughter loved to go play with and watch "the guys." Valdez would come back on weekends even to make sure that everything was perfectly the way we wanted. Since the project has been done, a couple of times we have had questions about some of the plants, lawn and sprinklers. Each time Eric has come right out to look it over and make adjustments, with no additional charge. That pride in their work is invaluable as a customer. If you are considering any type of landscaping project, look no further than the Brecedas. read more

We have had a LOT of contract work done on our home over the years, and Breceda Landscape stands out as one of the BEST contractors we have worked with. Eric and Teran came out and listened carefully to what we thought we wanted, and provided a number of estimates to provide for a range of materials and services. We were able to find what we wanted from those choices. We had a water intensive grass lawn in our back and side yard since we moved in and everyone knows that's not practical or sustainable in San Diego. Synthetic grass(lawn carpet) was not an option for us, because I think it looks fake, even the high end stuff. We went with concrete pavers in 18" and 24", with gravel in between, and the edges with Korean grass, and are extremely pleased with it. Eric's team showed up as promised. Eric was at our home EVERY day for a period of time to check in, and explain any changes or issues(like irrigation, whoever installed the original pipes was not very qualified, leave it at that). The team cleaned up after themselves diligently, and worked hard to grade our yard, removing about 2 TONS of dirt in order to do so. When we discovered a severed low voltage line was keeping us from properly illuminating our yard, Eric sent out some of his team after the work was completed to fix the issue....quickly, on time, and without fanfare. We went from a landscape that was disjointed and had little flow, to a lovely, functional back and side yard that completes the look of our home. It's so much more than we were conceptualizing and greatly increases our pleasure in working on our yard or when we are outside relaxing. Really could not be happier with Breceda Landscape and recommend them without any reservations! read more

We solicited 3 bids from landscape contractors for a makeover of our condominium complex in Point Loma. Not only did Breceda come in as the lowest, the entire project was extremely well executed, and professionally done. Eric was on site to see the beginning, mid progress, and final aspects of the project. At other times, his lead foreman was always on site. The entire process was well explained. We are extremely satisfied, and pleased on how it turned out. Highly recommended, and we would use them again. read more

Wow, this company raved about their ability to do a great job on the landscape work in our complex and they lied to us and all of our many different plants they planted died within a couple short months. When we got a new landscaper in they had pointed out that Breceda even planted a number of our plants incorrectly, not just by location, but by not planting them deep enough into the ground. read more

I wanted a drought tolerant landscape to conserve on water and maintenance. Eric Breceda is extremely knowledgeable about the native California plants and irrigation to accomplish my goal. I had in mind plants that would attract Butterfly's and Hummingbirds and that is exactly what I got! We used natural elements like decomposed granite to soften the hardscape and took advantage of the natural drainage flow line with a rock river bed. Working with Eric and Teran was a pleasure. I trusted their guidance and appreciated their attention to detail, namely watching the bottom line as my ideas needed to fit a budget. The end result is exactly what we discussed and their crews executed it beautifully and in a timely manner exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend Breceda Landscape. read more

This is an unsolicited testimonial. I had never met Eric and Teran Breceda prior to an estimate for a walkway I requested. Eric arrived at my home with his master mason, Valdez, to perform a thorough examination of the work to be performed. Subsequently, Teran emailed me the estimate which was within the averages of the other estimates. However, I was impressed with Eric's knowledge and personal character. He also assured me that they would match the quartzite in the back patio. Bottom line, they did everything they said. The work was timely and excellent. Valdez chose the perfect matching quartzite and applied the cuts masterfully on the walkway and two stucco columns in the front yard. Not only were they all professional in their work, they were all wonderfully personal and down to earth. Thank you Eric, Teran, and especially Valdez for an outstanding job. Feel free to use this testimonial in any way you wish. Thank you, Jack E. Stephens, Esq. read more

Top notch company for all of your hard and soft landscaping needs. They replaced a paver stoop and walkway and removed 7 trees. They were reasonable, reliable and professional. We will use them again for landscaping needs. read more

We strongly recommend Breceda Landscape. They are a highly-professional company that designed and then implemented a complete re-landscape of our front-yard. Their design proposals were creative and responsive to our vision for the front-yard. In working with us, the principals were knowledgeable, answered all our questions, and listened carefully as we agreed on a final design. Breceda employs an experienced crew to implement the design. They arrived on-time consistently, were hard-working, cleaned-up the worksite at the end of each day, and the quality of the final result was excellent. We are very satisfied clients. read more

A couple came by to give me an estimate but did not seem interested in my project request. I was looking to redo the front yard and they didn't even measure anything out. They seem to have eyeballed everything and the husband was very negative about my project request while the wife was the one writing things down and spinning a positive outlook on my request. What I was trying to do was extend my backyard and it seemed he did not want to be liable for Some possible permitting issue. They were the only company who questioned possible permitting. While every single other estimate said that it was within reason. Nonetheless the estimate was over, the couple left and said they would be in touch and send me an estimate in the next few days. it took two weeks for an estimate because it was their anniversary and they were on vacation. Way to communicate. Obviously we did not use them for multiple reasons. Good luck to anyone that does. read more

Breceda Landscape recently finished a complete yard re-do for me, leaving intact only most of a patio (added pavers to the perimeter), part of a sidewalk and one pine tree. Work included demo and soil removal, drainage, irrigation, concrete, pavers in concrete, natural ledger stone on columns and a barbecue, a fountain incl. electrical, hot tub, fire pit, 3 large vegetable boxes, 200+ ft of fencing with gates, low voltage lighting, boulders, planting etc. So you can consider them a one-stop shop. I had 3 bids and Breceda and another were pretty comparable price-wise, but I'm happy I chose Breceda Landscape as the project went smoothly and was professionally completed. I had a landscape design but Teran and Eric made several recommendations that were more cost-effective. It was a large project and there were lots of decisions that had to be made along the way, but I found it easy to work with the whole team. Overall I couldn't be happier with the outcome and I highly recommend them. read more

Eric, Teran, Valdez and crew couldnt be better!!! They earned a 5 PLUS from us on our landscape project. This is a personal recommendation from a satisfied client...not solicited from the contractor. Our just finished redo of retaining wall/ Japanese canyon pathway turned out better than we could have imagined!! Breceda Landscape looked carefully at our plans, listened attentively to our priorities of needs and wants, understood out budgetary limits, and then delivered!! We at all times felt supported and guided through our extensive project. When we voiced concerns or changes to original plans, Breceda et al performed magic in translating what we needed. Eric, Valdes, Teran and crew were at all times personal, punctual, responsive, neat and professional. They work hard at what they do and take pride in their craftsmanship! Our beautiful Japanese pathway is a solid, quality piece of art that will endure for our lifetime for sure. We look forward to an ongoing relationship with Breceda Landscape that will take us into the next phase of our imagined gardenscape!! read more

Breceda Landscape did a great job putting pavers and a rock garden in our backyard 6 months ago, while installing drainage to prevent rain flooding our backyard and seeping into our garage. After it rained so heavily in recent months without any drainage issues, I felt the need to post. Eric and Teran helped us design both for the functional and aesthetic, found ways to meet our budget, and worked within our short timeline. This type of project is always complex and has unexpected issues, in our case huge tree limbs and shallow pipes, but they resolved all issues to our satisfaction and we love our backyard. read more

Umm where to start. Our home needed both front and back landscaped. I will say that Eric and Teran are pretty knowledgeable with plants and landscaping ideas. Eric claims to have designed a sprinkler that he will sell to you if he can. (I'll come back to that) The project began and it seemed they came in and were done like a Tasmanian devil...it was quick and looked legit. Our FRONT yard came out just beautiful. I couldn't be happier. But the backyard sod they put in....it is obvious that there are 2 types of sod mixed in. It looks ridiculous. So banking on the promise of follow-up we attempted to contact them regarding this, plus questions on Eric's 'sprinkler' heads. We got nothing but crickets. I just don't get it and feel the promised support was not for real. This is why I felt compelled to write this review. Just a heads up for others who might use them. read more

We have used Breceda for two projects. One commercial and one residential. They were excellent to work with, have a great end product and very communicative through the whole construction. You can feel confident when hiring Breceda Landscape! read more

We have been waiting for years to re-landscape our backyard. We contacted Kate Wiseman, a local landscape designer and she recommended Breceda Landscape. I contacted Eric Breceda and he came out and took a look at my backyard. He was very knowledgeable and I loved that they could offer full services for our project. I received a proposal from Teran about a week later and it was right in line with our previous cost estimates. It was very easy working with Eric and his crew. They arrived right on time each morning and just powered through each day. We had a complete demo of our backyard with pavers, irrigation, electrical, lighting, seat wall, landscape and turf added to our site. It was completed in a professional and timely manner. We could not be more pleased with the end result. Our neighbors cannot believe the transformation. I would not hesitate to call upon them again! read more

We had a medium sized landscaping project. Our landscape designer recommended Breceda Landscaping, and they did a professional job at the price quoted. They were honest, prompt, and thorough, and worked well with the landscaper and us to make sure we were all satisfied with the results. Eric specializes in choosing and placing boulders, and Teran and then Eric accompanied me to the yard to make the boulder selection. Eric also has developed a drip irrigation system (which is sold commercially) which he installed and which seems to be working well. We are very happy with the results. read more

So wonderful to have a knowledgeable, inspired, reasonable landscaper available! I would recommend this company to anyone who wants great service! read more

Eric and Teran are a dynamic duo. I have enjoyed working with both of them on several jobs. They are my go to guys. From irrigation to sod to tree removal to sealing walls in plants, they are the best. Once, in the middle of a job, my father had a stroke. Eric carried on while I was out of town, and the job turned out great! I will continue to work with them. read more

I'm sad to say I can't comment on their work, but I had the strangest experience with them today. I've been trying to find a contractor to take on my front yard project and have been contacting a couple people at a time, and getting rejected (project at $15K is too small for a lot of companies). I spoke with Breceda landscaping on the phone and set up an appointment, but then got an email (from who I thought I had just spoken with) rejecting coming out for an estimate (yet again). Apparently that was another company with a similar name - my mistake - and Breceda showed up to my house today. I opened the door and had a moment of confusion, and before I could put the pieces together of the miscommunication, Eric acted affronted that I was confused, bluntly said "we're not a match" and stalked back to his truck. We certainly are not a match, I don't think I've ever dealt with anyone that rude! It was an honest mistake on my part and one I own up to, and I would have been happy to meet with them then and there, but if I can't be confused for 2 minutes without them getting snippy... not people I'd hire regardless. read more

Needed our fence replaced and Breceda landscaping completed the job. Work was efficient and well done. Quality was superior.

I had a small budget to work with so I was worried about what I could do with my front yard (it was a complete mess). Eric and Teran Breceda created a beautiful landscaped front yard for me. My neighbors say I am the envy of my neighborhood. I am more than happy and highly recommend Breceda Landscape. Eric and Teran, thank you so much for exceeding my wildest dreams! read more

Eric handled my landscaping project a year ago and I can say the results have passed the test of time. Not only is he passionate, patient, and knowledgable, he takes the time to share his knowledge and educate to ensure long lasting results. He has been very responsive to follow-up questions, and needs...standing behind his work. I especially appreciate how, as a business owner, he treats the crews with the utmost respect, and the feeling seems to be mutual resulting in a great experience for me. read more

I have nothing but raves for Eric Breceda. He landscaped the front of our house several years ago, with boulders and rocks and succulents as well as with some xeriscape drought resistant plants that we chose when we went to the plant nursery with him. He put in an irrigation system that is working well. We worked together for several months, planning and replanning as I kept changing my mind about what I wanted to plant. He was patient with me. And in the end, he put in a wonderful landscape that people who pass by the house are always commenting on. They tell me it beautifies the neighborhood, and they are right, if I do say so myself. Eric has an artist's eye. He understands flow and design. And even though at the time he said he did not like succulents, he was willing to plant them for me. I bet now that succulents are the in thing, Eric may have changed his mind about them. In any event, he was easily able to coordinate with deliveries of boulders, rocks, cobbles and small stones, and earth moving equipment. He was here for every step of the process of creating the landscaping and had wonderful, competant and hard-working people working for him. I absolutely love the landscaping in front of my house, and I am more than happy to recommend Eric Breceda Landscape. read more
