I would like to start this review off by explaining that I researched what i needed and reputable companies extensively prior to starting my backyard project.  I also had 4 bids and input  from 4 companies to compare, and input from an arborist.  The arborist is the one that recommended California Custom Landscaping to me because he said they do the best he's ever seen, and has not seen any issues with the work in later years.  Henry from California Landscaping was, by far, the most knowledgeable and the most professional of the contractors I met with.  He had ideas and suggestions that demonstrated he had extensive experience, and helped me find solutions to some difficult issues that would ensure my project is both long lasting and affordable.  His pricing was not the highest bid, but was on the higher end, but after completion of the project, I understood why.  He has a good size crew, they were all very knowledgeable, they were very thorough and did a very professional job, and brought in a lot of specialized equipment (I mention the equipment because I have had other jobs and seen jobs that do not have that).  I my project included demolition of old concrete, electrical work, a concrete brick retaining wall, concrete pour wall, concrete pour, installation of my plants, and installation of a drip system. I genuinely had no concerns or complaints with the entire process, so I wanted to list off the things I noticed that I appreciated: - Every crew member was professional, polite, and many went the extra mile to make me happy.  They always offered to do little extra things to help me out, even though they weren't part of their duties.  - The foreman made sure to ask questions along the way to ensure I was happy with choices being made.  This was very important to me because I had a project in the past where decisions were made without checking with me, and work had to be redone.  - The workers cleaned up after themselves thoroughly after each day, and left materials and tools organized nicely.  They always swept, cleaned, or blowed the area, so there were no messes.  - The workers seem to be treated really well and their time was respected.  I appreciated that I saw them taking regular scheduled lunch breaks and leaving at the same time each day.  When Henry wanted to schedule work on the weekend, he emphasized that he needed to respect their weekends, ask permission, and give them plenty of notice. -Everything was very timely.  They came when they said they would, arrived on time, let me know what days they would not be working, and completed the project pretty quickly.   -Henry would regularly check in, make sure I was happy, and answer my questions.  He also communicates/responds to emails calls and texts in a timely manner. There were a few great things included in the project that i didn't even realize. - The work they did was beautiful! I couldn't be happier with how my back yard turned out.  I've had to clean up neighbors debris from their trees and hose it down, and it cleans up easily and drains well. I would definitely recommend California Custom Landscaping, and plan to have them come back to help me with a few future projects. read more

We have been using CCL for about 20 years. Henry's knowledge and problem solving are really valuable. We had concrete added along the side of our home. Michael and his crew did an excellent and careful job in such a tight space. The concrete is pitched perfectly and they added several drains to get the water away from the foundation. Project was quick, clean and we are once again very satisfied! read more

If you're looking to transform your outdoor space, I highly recommend California Custom Landscape They just finished redoing our entire backyard, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They handled everything from the heavy lifting--dirt and tree removal, leveling, and drainage--to the finishing touches like new concrete, irrigation, turf, and landscape. It was a "one-stop shop" experience for a very complex job. Special shout-out to Henry, who was a total pro throughout the process. He really went above and beyond to make sure the project was finished perfectly and that we were satisfied with every detail. It's rare to find that level of commitment and work ethic. Great experience from start to finish! read more

Henry and team did an amazing job. I had multiple projects to do including turf, pebble, and drain installations. Not only was it everything I asked for, but his suggestions were spot on as well. Fantastic work. read more

Just an update of a review I posted previously following a front yard renovation. I had Henry and his crew return to update my backyard. Again the service and professionalism was great. We allowed Henry to work his magic and deferred to him for recommendations for greenery and lighting. Since we have a pool, we had asked for a somewhat tropical theme with plenty of flowers. They did not disappoint. I would recommend California Custom Landscape to anyone considering an upgrade or modernization to their current landscaping needs. The cost was fair and competitive and as always you get what you pay for. read more

We cannot recommend California Custom Landscape (CCL) enough. Henry and his team have helped us through three projects over the past decade -- involving hardscape, landscape, irrigation, design, and even working alongside a pool contractor to put in a pool/spa system. It is a true relief to work with a contractor who is competent, trustworthy, and genuinely helpful with planning and design. Thank you, CCL! read more

We have used California Custom Landscape twice, 20 years apart. The 20 year span should say a lot about a company by itself. They are throughly professional and use high quality products for all the various phases of their projects. The owner, Henry is terrific to deal with and all of his employees do great work. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Both of our landscaping projects had many different components and everything went smoothly and cleanly. I would not call anyone else. read more

I've used Henry for the past 10 years for a complete backyard renovation, patio pavers, artificial turf, landscaping, driveway expansion, and planters and I've never been disappointed and have always recommended him to friends and family. I recently had him to put in fire resistant sprinklers due to concern about the recent wildfires and wanting some extra protection for the hillside behind my house. Him and his crew went above and beyond this time though. He thought of the purpose behind the project and made sure to use the appropriate materials to withstand heat from fires. His guys were super polite and clean and did the project on time. I couldn't believe how there wasn't any evidence of their digging trenches because my mulch was put back into place without any loose dirt because they used tarps to put the dirt on when they dug up the trenches. Overall I wouldn't look elsewhere to find a reliable, conscientious, and knowledgeable landscape contractor. California Custom Landscape is a quality, top notch company that does things right the first time and treats you like a friend. read more

We had a very good experience with CA Custom Landscape. We obtained several estimates for our paver patio and artificial grass project. They were in the middle price wise, but won us over with customer service, communication, Henry's professionalism, and good Yelp reviews. We recommend going with CA Custom Landscape as we are happy with the results, meeting our timeline, and professionalism. read more

In 2019, I completed a homeowner swimming pool. I subbed all trades to complete this project. As I reached the phase of hardscape, I used a family friend who owned a pool company. Louie sent out his sub to install, pour in place pool coping. The finish was horrible. They couldn't even score straight control lines. I reached out to California Landscape. Henry showed up and explained what to look out for. He was very professional and friendly. If you are looking for quality work, then you have found the right company. There's a saying that holds true for all trades, "Good work ain't cheap, cheap work ain't good" - Norman (Sailor Jerry) Collins Thank you again, Henry and Ana! read more

January 2026 we did business with CA Custom Landscape. It just so happened that Henry was the person that did some original landscaping at our home before we owned it back in 2005 or so. We did 2200 sq ft of concrete, our complete front yard in synthetic turf, Pavers in half of our driveway, and Sod in our backyard. Mike and his crew were here for all the hardscape and did an excellent job. Foreman on the job every day to make sure all was being handled correctly. When we got to the landscaping portion of the job Henry had a lead here daily but he showed up pretty much everyday himself to ensure everything was being done correctly. We had a few change orders and add ons and Henry handled them right away and was fair on cost for these. I am not even exaggerating when I say this was the best contractor we have ever done business with. Easy to work with, hands on, Clean, and on job from start to finish. If you need an excellent licensed and insured contractor do yourself a favor and call Henry. I will add some pics soon. read more

We recently met with Henry and his team from California Custom Landscape to revitalize our back and side yards. We wanted to create an English Garden feel for the side yard and enhance the back yard with built in planters, artificial turf and upgrade the existing plants. Henry and his team was PERFECT for the job. Henry was able to create the look, feel and the layout of the new planters, stepping stones, fountain area, artificial turf and the plants that created the look we were attempting to capture. Henry and his team communicated throughout the project and followed up to ensure we were happy with the outcome. The team was professional, on-time and cleaned up the area each day. We would highly recommend CALIFORNIA CUSTOM LANDSCAPE for any landscape work. read more

I live in Glendora California and needed a complete overhaul of my front and back yard. I had trees removed, concrete to break up, and grading done to address pooling and flooding on my property. I had trees planted , sod laid, hardscape installed . This company is bar far one of the best. From the time I contacted them they gave me their full attention. Their costumer service is amazing, they alway returned my phone calls, text, or email right away. Henry is very knowledgeable and listens to what you want and explains the pros and cons of every decision that is made. Henry is not pushy and allowed me to do my project in stages. this company cares about what their end result will look like, I remember during the laying of my paver walk way the design I wanted would have cost a little more than what I wanted to pay so I opted for a simpler paver design, Henry gave me the more elaborate design and didn't charge me extra for that work. This company is hard working, courteous, and cares about their clients even after the project is complete. I highly recommend this company for any project that you have, you won't be disappointed. read more

I enlisted Henry's help for my failing fence in the backyard after the horribly wet winter we had. He was very punctual and went over all the options for replacement with me, and just as quickly able to set up the appointment to have the new fence put in. He was very responsive, even after hours. We are very happy with this project, and sure to use his company again for our future needs. Bonus point for the crew that came out, they also fixed my wobbly light post and cemented back a loose brick, at no extra charge and I didn't even have to ask. His company is very in demand at this time, so get your estimate appointment early. read more

Amazing work and the attention to detail was a nice experience. It was a pleasure working with Henry and his crew. Everyday I could tell the project was coming along.

We are thrilled with the work done in our front yard. Henry worked with us every step of the way to make sure we got what we wanted. His crew was very talented and friendly. They were always on time and finished ahead of schedule. They were meticulous in their work and clean up. We had them install a font patio with pavers, redo the parkway, level and seed part of the existing Lawn. They worked miracles with our sprinkler system to bring it back to life and provide good coverage. Above and beyond is a good way to describe it. All in all a very good value for high quality work. We will definitely use them for future projects. Terry and Penny read more

We just had our front and back yards completely remodeled by CCL. Working with Henry was an extremely pleasant experience. His professionalism was absolutely top notch and extremely comforting through the entire process. We can't speak enough about Henry's expertise and experience through the process. His insight helped us tremendously in putting together the end result that we are thoroughly happy with. The entire CCL crew is also very professional and take an extreme interest in making sure the work meets Henry's expectations, which are very high.

He listened carefully and worked with me very patiently and professionally from the initial consultation to final installation. The project had many different phases.

In July of 2019 we started searching for a contractor to remodel our backyard. Must have interviewed 8 different contractors or designers and spoke with another 4or 5 on the phone. Henry from California Custom Landscaping was one of them, and while we liked his ideas and design the quote was more than what we wanted to pay, so we kept looking. After a weekend of interviews with people who claimed they could do the job for less, we decided to call Henry back to see if we could make some modifications to the design that would be better suited to our budget. We made some changes to the materials and we came up with a project that we could afford. Once weather, permits and the schedule permitted the job was completed within 3 weeks. The crew was phenomenal. Always on time and every day when they left our yard and driveway were clean. Workmanship is excellent and we couldn't be happier. Henry kept in touch throughout the process and was easy to reach if we had a question. If you're at home wishing you had a nicer outdoor living area, call Henry. You won't be sorry. read more

I have used California Custom Landscape for a couple of projects. The first project was a complete revamp of my front yard including the driveway which was over 9 years ago (See attached pictures). The front yard and driveway still look great. I was very happy with their work and so I hired Henry and his crew again to redo my backyard recently. Once again they did a really nice job (see attached pictures). Henry and his team do excellent work which speaks for itself. I rarely recommend any contractors to my friends and family, but California Custom Landscape is the only one I have recommended to them. Their work is top quality! They are reliable, easy to work with and bring creative ideas and solutions to each project. I would highly recommend Henry and his team for any landscaping project. read more

These days, it's not so easy to find a contractor who runs an operation that is solid, effective, and fair from top to bottom. Fortunately, I found one. Henry Guttierez has built a landscaping contractor service that runs like clockwork. His wife, Anna, runs the business side of things so Henry can give complete focus to the jobs. Crews are efficient, don't waste time, and work together well. He charges a fair price, not too much, not too little, which is exactly what you want. And, any amounts that were added were completely expected and thoroughly discussed in advance. The communication was great, and the few times that there was a delay, I always had a very good idea when they were coming next. Honestly, hiring a contractor of any kind rarely goes so smoothly. If you have aspirations for your own landscaping, you really need look no further than California Custom Landscape. read more

Henry and his team did an outstanding job on our backyard. Can't say enough of the quality of work and how quick they got it done! FYI, it was 103 degrees out when the turf was installed. They leveled the backyard, installed large pavers (24x24), and installed the artificial turf. The turf Henry recommended looks so real! The team also put turf all around our AC unit and that looks amazing! We're so pleased with how it all came out and would absolutely recommend California Custom Landscape! Henry has a very keen eye and noticed our backyard had an inconsistent grade. This was due to flooding and erosion over the past 10 years. I did not realize how bad it was until his team leveled it out and installed the turf. He also recommended a more effective placement of the pavers to keep the aesthetics we were trying to achieve. Everything he recommended was correct and glad we followed his recommendations! read more
