    Trees that did not survive the transplant
    Steve D.

    Overall good experience with Caliscapes OC! Oscar came out and thoroughly listened to what we wanted to do then gave us a detailed and competitive quote with pictures. Everything was digital so it was easy to accept the quote and pay for the services online. No additional fees for credit card payments either which was very nice. The work was completed within two days which was much faster than originally anticipated. Everything was very professionally done, the workspace was clean after each day and they even provided their own portapotty. Communication was and still continues to be a bit of an issue. We had asked for explicit watering instructions for each type of plant since there is a guarantee on each plant for a specific amount of time. It took a few days to long after the job was complete to actually receive the written instructions, something both parties agreed upon well before the job started. Additionally a few of the planted trees in the backyard are very unhealthy looking which we informed the team of right away, well within the guarantee period. It has now been almost three months after completion of the job and we still have not been able to make any progress on fixing or replacing the dead trees. We will occasionally receive a call or text back but it does not seem like the issue is being taken seriously which is unfortunate. Overall I would recommend Caliscapes as I am happy with the speed of the job from start to finish and the finished product, but communication could be much better.

    We have had a great experience with Victor and his crew. We are very happy with the patio they put in our front yard! What I appreciate most is their communication and commitment to fixing issues. There has been some fine tuning that has needed to happen after our project was finished. Victor has come out many times to follow up and troubleshoot. Highly recommend Caliscapes!

    We needed to remodel our whole backyard and Caliscapes OC was the right choice. Oscar came out to our house and was accommodating to the our wishes while planning our yard. He was very knowledgeable about botany and what kinds of plants would fit our style/climate and always offering really good opinions for what plants and colors look best. Victor was very communicative during the whole process, always respectful of our property, and detailed-oriented to make sure the whole project came together perfectly. He coordinated the fencing and patio teams to work around my busy schedule. Victor even went out of his way to help my mom with her electrical issues in her ADU next door. The project came out perfect and even more than we had hoped for. Our backyard is now a relaxing and peaceful modern garden zen, and we are constantly finding excuses to do activities outside now even in the current cold weather. The details matter and Caliscapes had accomplished creating our perfect getaway. Hosting people has been easy and fun and they are constantly loving the makeover. I would not hesitate in considering them for any outdoor projects and landscaping. I feel good knowing that their work is backed by warranty if something goes wrong because they are proud of their work, a testament of a trustworthy company. I will continue to recommend them to all my friends and families. Thank you Victor and Oscar!

    Steps before plants installed

    Caliscapes is top notch. Excellent quality, friendly, honest and reliable crew. Great Communication throughout project. They exceeded my expectations. Provided detailed plans and pricing. Cleanup at the end of each work day was appreciated. Not the cheapest or the most expensive but after completion I must say it was worth every penny. Highly recommend!

    Update AGAIN: I recently messaged Oscar regarding the current condition of our plants as they were showing signs of stress and we thought they were dying. At first I hesitated to message him being it has been years so I didn't expect to get any help as we are way past the plant shock warranty, but decided to after-all. Oscar immediately responded and set up a time to come out. We were so amazed at how much time he spent diagnosing our plants. He tested the soil, checked the sprinklers, timing of watering, and overall health of our plants. Oscar provided clear instructions on what we needed to do. Luckily the plants were still salvageable to our surprise. Additionally, he sent me detailed instructions via text of how to get our plants back to a healthy level. The level of service provided by Oscar exceeds 5 stars. I truly appreciate the great service and genuine concern for me as a customer. Thank you Oscar and Caliscapes OC for your amazing work, customer service, and commitment to your customers.

    Old landscape
    Carlos H.

    100% impressed with the landscape project Caliscapes provided us. Our old landscape was due for renovation, so a complete demolition was needed. Oscar and Victor and the crew of 7 showed up every day on the dot at 7:30 AM till 4 pm all wearing professional Caliscapes workwear and Caliscapes trucks ready to kick ass. At the end of day, EVERYTHING was washed down as if it were my weekly Gardner was here every day. Me and my wife were impressed with Caliscapes work ethic and attention to detail everyday and even after completion of project to satisfaction! Communication with Oscar and Victor was better than our own efforts! We felt 100% confident in all their actions. Me and my wife are very type A folks and never felt to second guess Caliscapes' detail to attention. Overall very competitively priced for what you get in return and beyond expectations on all levels. We highly recommend Caliscapes and stand behind their brand! Contact me personally and I will continue this post. I recommend to at least request a quote. We live in San Clemente in a gated community and our neighbors are very impressed!

    They did Flatwork, irrigation, SOD and plants!

    Very well orchestrated, Victor and his crew were extremely efficient, and did terrific work!

    Turf, plans, and trees.

    Outstanding job!!! Victor and Oscar were very professional and easy to work with. Their vision and design for our backyard exceeded our expectations. Victor and his crew's quality of work was amazing. They worked non-stop until they finished the job. Victor is very knowledgeable with tons of experience. His vision and attention to detail were impressive. We love our new backyard and look forward to enjoying it for years to come. Thank you Caliscapes OC.

    Victor and Oscar are great communicators and very knowledgeable about plants and hardscape. 110% would work with Caliscapes OC again and recommend them to anyone looking for landscape (re)design done well! Scope of work: Complete redo of front yard + parkways. Design with plant and placement recommendations, demolition of soft and hardscapes, installation of concrete pads, floating steps and turf with light fixtures, planting of small plants and hedges with irrigation. Service: Victor was prompt in returning my initial email requesting for an estimate. We were majorly impressed with how much time he spent on reviewing the estimate with us and communicating the plan each step of the way -- this gave us such confidence with the work that was being done. Even though Oscar handled the design, the whole process felt very collaborative. He listened to what we were looking for and gave us options that aligned with our preferences. Oscar also gave us a care guide for the plants we ended up going with. Workmanship: Victor is very detail oriented and holds his crew to a high standard. Quality was never sacrificed just to make the project go faster. We also appreciated the way Victor made suggestions based how the space would look and would be used instead of just whatever was easiest to do or most cost-effective. The hard-working crew arrived on time and cleaned up the work area every day. Cost: It was hard to make a true comparison since none of the other estimates we received were as thorough as the one provided by Caliscapes OC. For the top-notch communication and workmanship, the cost was well justified.

    Front yard turf
    Michael Y.

    Been dreaming of renovating our front yard since the day we moved in. Caliscapes OC did an awesome job helping us pick out plants and executing our dream, they completed our project in only 4 days! Here are some before and after photos. The kids love the finished result. Price was competitive. Really helpful that they accepted credit card. Oscar and his horticulture background helped tremendously with his knowledge of plants. Victor the owner was onsite working alongside his employees to get the job done with quality and speed. He was accommodating with changes and adjustments with a great attitude. Really appreciate you guys!

    Love the landscape lights Caliscapes OC installed!
    Dennis L.

    We had a great experience with Caliscapes OC. Their price was right in line with other contractors. What ultimately made us choose Caliscapes was they were the only company that gave us a detailed itemized estimate. I've had bad experiences with other contractors raising prices for "extra work" that I had originally told them I wanted done but they claim wasn't included in the estimate. That won't happen with Caliscapes OC because they describe in detail everything that is covered. We had Caliscapes OC install artificial turf, gravel, plants, lights, and concrete. We asked them to color match our existing concrete as much as possible as we wanted to save money. They did a great job of that. We told them we wanted a yard with the easiest maintenance possible, but still look nice, and they really delivered. They had an average of 6 guys on the job on a daily basis, which allowed them to complete the job in a very timely manner. They brought their own portable potty, and left the property clean each day before they left. Much respect to Victor, the owner, who works alongside his guys. Highly recommended!

I had worked with contractors…read morebefore for an in-home renovation and this experience was so much better, efficient, and organized in comparison. To be honest, it really restored my faith in landscaping contractors. I submitted an online request for a quote and the next day Mike emailed me requesting pictures of what our project wanted to include. Originally we just wanted to pull out our front yard plants and redo just the front but there is a $5000 project minimum. After deciding to redo our turf and also include our backyard, Mike came out the next week for a free in person consultation and got me a detailed quote within 2 days. The turnaround time for everything was just amazing, I've never seen anything like it. Our lot is about 3615 sq ft to give a reference point. Our project included: all the labor to demolish/uproot all of our plants including a very large 20 year old tree in the backyard + all the roots (completed in 2-3 days), redid our front and backyard turf (completed in 2 days by Backyard Golf Company), added a veneer stone and cap on our retaining wall (1 week) and replanted all our plants/installed a drip sprinkler system/installed lighting front and backyard (1 week). We have an HOA and Mike had a complete detailed plan and diagram ready for us within 3-5 days. Once HOA got back to us, the project was started within a week and finished in the estimated time frame. Workers came promptly at 8 AM and they were actively working all day not just sitting around. Very respectful, even blowing all the dust at the end of the day to keep the area clean, no garbage left anywhere. The entire project was $30,000 and there weren't any surprise or unexpected costs. Invoices are sent every week on a reasonable schedule and I just loved our experience. I'd recommend Seabreeze to anyone wanting to do their hardscape landscaping in a heartbeat!

From beginning to end, Jake and his team were professional, efficient, and great to work with. Jake was incredibly proactive and involved throughout the entire process. He consistently followed up, met with us to select flooring samples and plants, worked within our HOA guidelines, and provided everything we needed for HOA approval. He also stayed on top of the permitting process and followed up with the city to keep everything moving. What we especially appreciated was the quality of their work and attention to detail. The crew never rushed the project just to get it done. They took the time to make sure everything was done properly while still keeping the project moving and staying on schedule. The entire crew was hardworking and very respectful of our home and space throughout the renovation, working 6 days a week. Even after the project was completed, Jake continued to be extremely responsive. We had a few minor items that needed follow-up, and he addressed them right away. We really appreciated that the same level of service and responsiveness continued even after the job was finished. We're so grateful to Jake and his team for doing such an amazing job and completing everything on time so we could enjoy our new backyard this summer. We love how everything turned out and would highly recommend Jake and the Echo Landscape team to anyone considering an outdoor renovation!

Our project included a full transformation of our backyard, courtyard, and side yard, and the results are absolutely stunning. Jake installed two custom fire pits, beautifully laid porcelain tile, and a customized louvered patio cover. He also helped with the placement of patio pots and selecting plant material, carefully considering sunlight, plant hardiness, and overall aesthetics. Everything feels perfectly balanced and thoughtfully designed. Even though I had a professional landscape design to start with, Jake suggested several updates that elevated the entire space, giving it a more modern and upscale look. He truly has an exceptional eye for detail and is resourceful at troubleshooting. His crew, Moi and Paco, were equally impressive. They were onsite every day from 7am to sunset, Monday through Saturday, and their work ethic was unmatched. Moi, in particular, stood out. He is incredibly diligent, knowledgeable, and professional. It was clear that they approached every step with care, always "measuring twice and cutting once." They took the time to think through details and identify potential issues before making any cuts, which gave me a lot of confidence in their craftsmanship. Jake's commitment to quality really sets him apart. If something wasn't perfect in his eyes, he had his team redo it even if it was solely for aesthetics like the placement of a pot. His adjustments and recommendations made the final result even better. This wasn't only about getting the job done quickly, it was definitely about getting it done right. The end result is top-notch, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Jake Joe and Echo Homes to anyone looking for high-quality, thoughtful, and beautifully executed landscaping work. (I wish I could've said this about my house remodeling contractors - no comment!)

Our project consisted of pouring 2 concrete slabs (1 along the side of the house and a second in the backyard), planting a boarder trim, and installing sprinkler systems in our back and front yard. Joel and crew completed all parts of this project with attention to detail and communicated effectively throughout. First and foremost, I have to give a huge shout out to the team lead managing the concrete part of our project. His attention to detail in recommending ideal drain setups in the sections where water had pooled in the past are exactly why we went Joel - we want to do things right the first time. After chatting with Joel, we installed the recommended drains, preventing a potentially expensive fix down the road. The rest of the project was completed with professionalism and Joel was great in communicating and working with our needs. Our one constructive feedback is that we did not receive a mock-up of the project before work was underway. We had a few last minute changes (the width of the trim around the backyard and the size of the mulch area in the front yard), but Joel & team communicated effectively and worked with us to make sure our needs were taken care of. All in all, we are so happy with our completed project. The level of professionalism, attention to detail, and our new back/front yard makes us confident that we made the correct choice in choosing Joel for our project. Thank you!

    BRING ON THE SUPER EL NINO!…read more Joel and Sons recently completed a much overdue project at our home. For years, our outside drains were clogged, and I found myself setting up pumps during the storms to get the pools of water away from our home. Every year, I would tell myself that I would get the drains cleared. Before the rains came this past winter, I hired a company to hydro jet the pipes. They tried to clear the drains, but because they were so clogged, their equipment failed. Again, I was setting up the pumps during the rain storm. So, I researched and found Joel and Sons. I met Joel and he examined our front/back yards. He gave an excellent and fair estimate that would fix the drainage problems. Throughought the entire project, Joel sent videos of the work being performed. He and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we wouldn't have any future issues. I am so impressed by Joel and Sons, and I will call them again for future projects. More importantly, I will make referrals to my family and friends.

Fern and I talked and together we put together an idea of a combination of sod and DG. I mentioned to him that I always ask for more than discussed and to make sure he added the additional expense. They showed up on time every day at 6:30am and worked nonstop until dusk. They removed two big truck loads of dirt, old sod, weeds, roots and old plants by loading the truck using wheelbarrows. They put in new drip irrigation, new sprinkler lines and valves and repaired my outdoor electrical outlets. They built three paver borders and used cement to make a paver border fence I built by stacking blocks permanent. He cleaned out a raised planter not in the quote, fixed the drip lines and mulched and used my old fountain to build a bird feeder space in the planter. The quote was very fair and the addition price for the added work was very fair also. I will definitely be using him again for my next project. He also installed new ceramic tiles with my address on the front of the house and cleaned out part of my gutters and fixed the leaks to keep them from dripping on the DG.
