They helped with all the proper underground prep for drainage, gutter routing upgrades, etc. to ensure that everything underground was ready for what was going on top. We did pavers, turf, sitting wall, pathway lights, new plants along the sides of the yard with white rocks and it came out great! We receive compliments all the time, which is a testament to their incredible work. They were able to work within our budget as well, which was important to us. They were always easy to get in contact with. This project was as smooth as you could ask. Will definitely be using Lara Landscape for any future landcaping and highly recommend them!

The final pond exceeded my expectations, and Francisco, David, and their entire crew (family members, including their dad, brother, brother-in-law, and cousin) were fantastic to work with. I made several modifications and additions to the original design, and they were incredibly flexible in accommodating all my requests, ensuring everything was to my liking. Whenever I had an idea, question, or concern, they always provided practical solutions or options to address them. They didn't nickel-and-dime me for the changes and kept the project within the original budget they quoted. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the quality of their work and have already asked them for quotes on future projects. I'm excited to continue working with them.

Apologies in advance if this review is a bit long--it's one of my first, and I'm genuinely happy to…read moreshare my experience. My husband and I moved to the Hollister area about a year ago, and ever since, we've been eager to transform our backyard, which was just a patch of dirt when we arrived. As a first-time homeowner, I felt completely overwhelmed and unsure where to begin, especially when it came to choosing the right contractor. After getting some neighborhood recommendations for New Leaf, we decided to reach out. (Just to note, we had already reached out to several local contractors, but none gave us the confidence to move forward. We always had lingering doubts--whether it was about pricing, professionalism, or trustworthiness.) Javier, the owner, quickly arranged an in-person visit to check out our yard. He shared timelines, and pricing possibilities with us. He also collaborates with a landscape designer, Charlene Brum (www.brumlandscape.design.com). Working with Charlene was such a smooth and stress-free experience (everything I needed!). She created CAD plans to scale, which really eased my worries, confusion and all the unknown. Charlene was incredibly patient, clear in her communication, and so friendly. It honestly felt like talking to a friend who was just as excited as I was to help with my yard. Once the work started, there was no stopping the team! Javier has a fantastic crew that works hard and cohesively. Fernando, who led our project onsite, was very respectful and always took the time to make sure I understood his answers whenever I had questions. It was also heartwarming to see Fernando and crew mentoring a young adult on the team, teaching him about the trade and safety. My husband and I were consistently impressed with the daily progress, especially since some of my neighbors had shared less-than-ideal experiences with their own yard projects. I'm so relieved to say that our experience was nothing like that--ours was smooth! After about three weeks of hard work, the crew finished, and we absolutely love our new backyard and are excited to add our future shed and dog area. Our German Shepherd loves the evolved space too! Thank you, Javier, for delivering such great work and quality!

We recently worked with Jose's team on building a backyard playground, sandbox, and a side walkway…read morealong our house, and it was such a positive experience from start to finish. As parents, safety and functionality were our top priorities, and Jose's team really took that seriously. They didn't just execute what we asked--they consistently thought from our perspective, especially when it came to making the space safe and practical for our baby. They would point out things we hadn't considered and suggest better solutions, which made us feel like we were in very good hands. Jose's team was also very responsible and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Any questions or changes we had were handled quickly and thoughtfully, and they always made sure the details were right. The final result turned out beautifully, but what we appreciated most was the care and intention behind the work. It's clear they take pride in what they do. We'd absolutely recommend Jose's team to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful contractor--especially if you're building a space for kids.

Long overdue review…read more After I completed my retaining wall in our backyard, it was time to move onto finishing the yard with full pavers and artificial turf. I met with a few different contractors, and after meeting Jose and his team, I went with Simancas Landscaping and was very happy with the decision. I actually created the plan myself for the backyard, and reviewed it with Jose and it came out exactly as I had hoped! I did all the landscaping myself, but I am sure that his team could've also done that as well. We also decided to pave over our concrete California Room to make everything cohesive, and the finished product came out better than expected. Jose was very communicative throughout the project, and when problems arose, we worked together to move past them. I would definitely recommend Simancas for paver and artificial turf installation!

It was a pleasure to work with Jose and his team. I consulted with two other landscapers prior to…read morechoosing Simancas Landscaping and I'm extremely happy with our decision and end result. Pros: 1. Most reasonably priced for good, quality work. Jose is very fair with his quotes and any potential adjustments. 2. Your satisfaction is Jose's #1 priority. Throughout the project, at each milestone step, he consults with you to gauge satisfaction and discuss next steps. Plans may alter accordingly but you are informed throughout the process. 3. Easy to contact. I've worked with contractors and landscapers in the past that do not readily respond. Jose always answers my call and/or at least returns my call by end of day. Con: (and I'm only writing one because I don't trust reviews that have nothing but good things to say) 1. If you're sticking to a tight schedule or deadline, let the team know that upfront. Working on home improvements oftentimes results in delayed timelines. My experience was not any different this time around, but Jose would always explain the reasoning and was extremely fair. This "con," however is minor when we consider how happy we are with the finished product of our backyard. Highly recommend Simancas Landscaping. Check out our before and after pics!

We met Chris Houle through our landscape designer on a complex remodel of our front yard. From the…read moreinitial meeting until the project's completion, Chris went out of his way to ensure that the right choices were made and the work was done to our satisfaction. His crew showed up on time each day they were scheduled, and either Chris or his foreman checked in to let us know what was happening. They always made a conscious effort to leave the job (our front yard) in a clean and safe condition. The project was completed on time and budget. We found Chris and his crew enjoyable to work with and would definitely hire them again.

Other landscapers just didn't seem as excited about what they were doing. We completely updated our front and backyard, including removing several trees and plants, installing two patios, and adding two large veggie beds and all new plants. We are thrilled with the outcome and are confident it would not have come out as well had we chosen another landscape company. Chris is very knowledgeable about plants and was very willing and enthusiastic to help us realize our vision. There were times when we felt overwhelmed with all the decisions. Chris walked us through options and was so helpful in reassuring during the decision process. He was very patient with our changes to the plan and went above and beyond to bring our vision into reality. His team was always on time, they worked hard, and cleaned things up before they left each day. His foreman was also very knowledgeable, had great ideas, and was easy to work with. Everyone was very professional. As time consuming as the project was and despite how overwhelmed we felt at times, we were kind of sad when it was over. I enjoyed brainstorming ideas with Chris and working with him. He is a great guy. We really enjoy spending time in our new yard. I look around and feel so happy about how beautiful everything looks. We highly recommend Houle L & M for your next landscaping project. You won't regret it!

We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!
