When you hire Caliscapes OC, you not only hire a hard working crew led by Victor, but also get a talented architect designer Oscar. We were very impressed with Oscar during our initial consultation. He was here for a good 2 hours, he's very detail oriented. He took time doing measurements, counting plants and designing. The presentation at a nursery was very informative. Oscar was at the nursery before we got there, he displayed all the plants according to his design so we could virtualize what the plants would look like in our yard. Victor, who is the owner of Caliscapes OC, works very hard, he and his crew always showed up on time and cleaned up before they leave each day. He is very precise with what he does. He uses measuring tape to make sure all the plants are same distance between each other. Our yard looks very nice and neat after all was done. We are very pleased with their work and highly recommend them. read more

I was in dire need of landscaping and hardscaping to give my house a completely new look. After having been snubbed by my longtime landscape contractor, I reviewed some companies on Yelp and came upon Caliscapes. I originally spoke with Oscar on the phone, and the following day Victor came out to my house. I explained everything I wanted to have done, and he fully understood. Victor began taking measurements and drawing some rough sketches. Within a day or two, he provided an itemized estimate listing all the work that would be completed. Victor explained that his company only has two crews, and therefore they only work two jobs at one time. My job would be scheduled for a couple weeks later. In the interim, Victor came out once more to conduct a final walkthrough so we could discuss the job and make sure we were on the same page. A bobcat tractor, dumpster and porta-potty were delivered a couple days in advance. On the first day of work, the crew promptly showed up at 7:30 AM. Every day they would show like clockwork at the same time, and over ten days I watched in amazement how my front yard was transformed. What a perfectly professional company! Each day the equipment was secured in a safe spot, yellow tape was used to establish a boundary and thorough clean up was conducted. Two walls were built, one with lighting. The other was covered with used thin brick to match the front of my house. 1500 square feet of new sod, plus new remote controlled irrigation system, after all the demolition and removal of the old landscaping. A pause was then taken so that I could get the house re-painted. After numerous rain delays, when the painting was completed, Victor and crew came back to plant trees, shrubs, additional drip lines, and to add some extra lighting. I cannot express how much I'm happy with having selected Caliscapes. The word would be -- ECSTATIC! What an absolutely wonderful experience. I will gladly use them again in a year or two when I am ready to complete Phase 2 of my front yard makeover. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you choose this company! Thank you again, Caliscapes! read more

We were so impressed and happy with the job that Caliscapes did and can not recommend them enough! From the initial meetings and quick responses from Oscar, he worked hard to understand our design aesthetic and come up with the perfect plants, and design. Any questions we had he was so knowledgable and even accommodating to my unique request of integrating a vintage bathtub into the design. The crew was one of the cleanest, efficient and respectful trades that I've ever worked with. At the end of every day they would clean up and it would be cleaner than when they go there. Victor was great at making sure everything was perfect before going onto the next step and collaborating on a few design aspects while in process. The whole team was a pleasure to have around and you can tell they are passionate about what they do and are a great company to work for. My husband and I were a little sad to see them go as they had been here for a few months and unfortunately did the whole property so we shouldn't need to have them back. Every detail was so thoughtful and intentional, even down to the light choices and Victor knowing that the modern light would be the better option for our house. I feel other companies would have just thrown whatever one they normally do and call it a day. We did get a quote from another company, but it was similar price, but a very boring and basic design and didn't have the same enthusiasm for the project. Victor and Oscar really take pride in what they're doing and want it to be perfect. Now that the weather is nice, it's such an amazing space to relax in. We have gotten nothing from compliments, even having people stop to knock on the door and ask about it. We loved every step of this process, if you're looking for any sort of landscaping project, you will regret not having Caliscapes be a part of it. And honestly our before and after speak for themselves! read more

I recommend Caliscapes OC for a number of reasons. We needed help and they delivered. We wanted landscaping, hardscaping, irrigation and lighting to do a front yard make-over that complied with OC Water District's rebate requirements. We had to have drought-tolerant plants and a tree to replace an old olive that was a focal point of the yard. It all started with Oscar's love of plants and his ability to visualize a solution. Surprisingly, the design was much more lush than anticipated. The flowering plants and tree met our needs, provided beauty, a variety colors-textures and attracts humming birds, butterflies and bees. There was a seamless transition from concept to completion with Victor and his team. Once they committed to a schedule, the project was done on time and within budget. We'll use them again when the need arises. read more

As a way of passing time in the pandemic we spent a lot of time plant shopping. We got to know the team over at Seaside growers and they got to know the types plants we liked. When we asked for a recommendation of a designer, they didn't hesitate. "I've got a great guy for you." and they gave me Oscar's card. A quick email to Oscar, within hours we had our first meeting set up and week or two later Oscar showed up with a design that we loved. (We didn't change the existing hardscape) When they came back with the pricing, it was more than we wanted to spend. Oscar was undeterred. He changed his design around, decreased the size of plant, and worked with us to get the perfect design - One we loved and one we felt comfortable spending. At no point did we feel any pressure to spend more than we were comfortable spending. We signed the contract and set a project start date. Oscar Introduced us to Victor a couple of weeks before the job started and I liked him immediately. He is focus, direct, punctual, honest, fair and incredibly hard working. He had a team of between 3-5 each day for two weeks, and to a fault, all of them worked hard and fast, but never sacrificing quality and always paying attention to detail. Every day the work site was left spotless and every morning the team was back on the job working with focus. Oscar came by every day, at least once, and personally placed every single plant. The job was finished a day early and my wife and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Oscar and Victor (and Caliscapes OC team) for the great work... Can't wait to work on the back yard! read more

Victor and his team did a great job on our backyard! Our olive trees were leaning and they had to be double staked. In addition, Victor added uplights to each of our olive trees, reshaped our existing artificial grass and cleaned/refreshed it to look like new even though it's 9 years old. He also added a grapevine and wires along our wall. We were very impressed with Victor's knowledge, professionalism and timeliness and would hire him again for outdoor landscaping. read more

My wife and I recently remodeled a home in Huntington Beach. When it came time to landscape the property, we sought a recommendation from Moon Valley Nurseries. They recommended Caliscapes. On a 1 to 10 scale they turned out to be a 15. Remodeling is tough. We had contractors that were horrible and some that were were awesome. Victor and Oscar were awesome plus. Before giving us a detailed and itemized quote, they came out a couple times to measure and remeasure so their quote would be accurate. Measure twice, cut once right? Then, when we got our quote, Oscar met with us to explain each line item and gave us a chance to ask questions. Once we agreed to a plan and a cost, the job started in two days. They showed up when they said they would and every day they cleaned up so well that my neighbors even commented how thorough they were. In mid stream, Victor had an idea that he wanted us to consider, a new way of doing our side yard. We are so thankful he did. He could have just followed our instructions. It would have been easier for him but he was thoughtful enough to put his vision out there. So much better than our vision. So why hire these guys???? They take no shortcuts, they work really hard, they clean up every day, they return calls quickly, they listen well, they know their stuff, they are polite and their finished product is beautiful. They will never be lacking for work. So glad we found them. read more

They listened to our vision for the yard and put together a plan that met all of our requests. The best contractor we've worked with. Kept us. informed and involved throughout the construction process. read more

When meeting with Oscar, I knew what We wanted for the most part, however, what impressed me greatly were the ideas he presented in addition to our desires. As someone who has worked in this industry for years I was impressed by his level of detail in measuring and his passion for plants. His communication was consistent through the process and the quote they gave was competitive. The owner Victor and his crew were punctual and professional. They left the space clean each day and Victor's level of detail was incredibly impressive, even changing things on his own accord that meant they would have to spend some extra time fixing something but it would ultimately look the best. We were incredibly impressed with their work ethic, experience, attention to detail and timelcompletion of the work. I highly recommend this dynamic duo of a team! read more

Had someone come out to give a quote. Wanted to schedule the job, but once I shifted to the cheaper landscaping rock I never heard from them again. I guess it wasn't worth it for them? They could have at least followed up with me. read more

We are looking forward to them doing our back yard next year. read more

Caliscapes OC - Front yard drought tolerant landscape - Landscaping Near Me

I was completely happy/satisfied with my experience with this company. I needed to get all the plants/trees removed from my backyard and wanted to hire someone that could help me figure out what should go in there (instead of just a mismash of plants, like there was currently), but also needed to keep the price into consideration. Landscape designers can be EXPENSIVE...but didn't want to hire just a gardener/company to put in plants with no real layout/plan. This company did both - they helped with a layout (drawn out), picked out plants that would work, and even had me meet them at the nursery to review the plants and make any changes I wanted. Then once approved, they installed them, including changing out the sprinkler system to a drip system. The end result was EXACTLY what I wanted...and was in the price range I could afford. I had gotten a few bids and they were more reasonable than 3, a bit more than 1, but overall for what they offered, did way more than the 1 that was a bit cheaper. So I definitely picked the right company - couldn't be happier! THANK YOU! read more

I had existing manual sprinklers and wanted to upgrade to an automatic system. I was referred to Caliscapes by Moon Nurseries and contacted Victor who was helpful and professional. The price quoted was competitive and they were able to complete the job the following week. Victor and his crew removed the existing manual valves, installed the new valves and installed the control box in just a couple of hours, and they took great pains to clean up the area when the job was done. Victor then walked me through the set-up process for the automatic system (RainBird) on my smartphone. The system works perfectly and is easy to operate. In the future I will hire Caliscapes for my sprinkler or landscaping needs because I am very pleased with the job they did. read more

Very helpful and nice to work with. Did professional quality work installing sprinklers for our front yard. Will be using them again for future projects! read more

We absolutely love our new front yard! And honestly, garden walks have become a new ritual every morning :) Victor, Oscar and team did a wonderful job and were such a pleasure to work with. We looked at a couple of quotes initially, but really loved how passionate, knowledgable and friendly Oscar was. He also went beyond other companies, gave us multiple quotes with options and drew up a beautiful design plan which for two people who work in the creative industry, made it super easy to visualize. He also provided a wonderful list of plants that he then walked through with us at the nursery prior to starting. Oscar was incredibly patient and flexible with me as I switched out a few plants once I saw them. After that phase was done, Victor had a lot of work cut out for him. They dug up the entire yard and put in drip irrigation. They laid out bender board for the planters, mulched everything and used decomposed granite to complete it. The whole job only took 4 days! It's been a month and everything is still looking just as beautiful. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend to anyone. read more

I wanted to do a simple landscape improvement at my home to fulfill a HOA requirement. Caliscapes was able to give free estimates for multiple options. They didn't have a high minimum cost - which would effectively eliminate the project but they gave a reasonable price. Also Caliscapes was able to provide a plan drawn to scale. You might think that's something that should definitely be provided but some other contractors might not be willing to do so or might want to charge an unreasonable amount for it. In any case, I submitted the plan to the HOA, it was approved and Caliscapes came to do the work on a date that we agreed on. So far the implementation looks ok. In addition I wanted to do some adjustments afterwards and Caliscapes was able to do that as well. read more

I've been working with Oscar since September, going back and forth on various scenarios. We ultimately decided to concrete 3 different areas on the property, including floating cement with rocks. He was very patient throughout the process, offering many ideas and suggestions. When it came around for the installation, Victor and his crew came out for 2 1/2 days. Victor always kept me informed during the project. They are really great guys who did a really great job. I'm very pleased with the outcome. Since I am working from home due to the Covid situation, I can sit on my laptop facing the front yard admiring the beautiful floating cement/rock garden by my window all day long. I love it. Thank you Oscar & Victor. Stay well. read more

Caliscapes landscaped our front yard with plants that can take the summer heat and will be low maintenance, it looks beautiful. They also created a concrete walkway with brick trim and added automatic sprinklers. Victor and Oscar are very knowledgeable and did a great job answering my questions. The team was great, showed up on time, cleaned up well at the end of each day and was respectful toward our property and family. The end result is perfect, I highly recommend them! read more

I can't say enough about Caliscapes. I met with Oscar one day after my initial phone call. He came to see my slope and made suggestions. The next week he did a presentation at the nursery. He was very knowledgeable and his design was very impressive. A few weeks later Victor and his crew arrived and within 2 days transformed my slope into a beautiful hillside. I would highly recommended Caliscapes!!! read more

Oscar and Victor are true professionals. Rare that you find a team that combines deep landscape design capabilities and a dedication to delivering quality work. We hired Oscar and Victor to complete landscaping project for our new home. Unlike many others, they took the time needed to develop an excellent design and never shied away from investing the time needed to ensure we did it right. From there they were personally involved in selecting the right materials for the job. Lastly, Victor and his team were extremely meticulous implementing the plan. It was clear after one day on the job that they were going to do this right and it was an absolute luxury to be able to let go of the vine knowing that they would do the job right without having to look over their shoulder or do it twice. I will absolutely use them again for our landscape and hardscape needs. read more

Oscar and Victor are a dynamic team! We hired them to do a complete assessment of our front and back yard. They resolved many issues that had been neglected for quite some time. They worked on our irrigation system and replaced many broken parts. They added lines to places that weren't getting enough water and put in a new timer. They took the time to evaluate the problem which was complicated as I have a quite a large yard. They also worked on our existing outdoor lighting which had many burnt out or broken bulbs. They are now going to do quarterly service to keep the bugs that have been infesting our plants under control. They are very knowledgeable and truly care about addressing the issues you want resolved. They are patient and willing to listen to what you want. You can't go wrong!! read more

Great landscaping design and upgrade. Victor and Oscar are true geniuses. They and their crew of hard workers transformed my yard. Extremely nice and patient. read more

It is so nice to be able to write a review about a great company and great people. The team of Oscar and Victor (Caliscapes) turned our broken and dated backyard into a resort worthy "extra room." From design to construction to planting to finish work, Victor and his team met every deadline and went beyond our expectations...even to the point, get this, he stopped by on a Saturday MONTHS after the job was completed to check out a leaking sprinkler line for us. Who does that? Their knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail mean they have us as customers for life. I just hope they're not too busy when we need them to refresh our front yard. Thanks, guys! read more

Caliscapes landscaped our front yard and did an amazing job. Victor, Oscar and Team were knowledgeable, helpful and professional throughout the project. They were reliable and stayed on schedule. The cost was very reasonable. Their quality of work and work ethic is excellent. We could not be happier with our beautiful 'new' yard. Thank you! read more

Caliscapes recently landscaped my front yard and I was very happy with how the project turned out and the experience of working with Victor, Oscar and the team. The planning, communication, attention to detail, keeping to schedule, dealing with changes, and resolving of various challenges during the project was excellent. I also didn't feel they tried to upsell me anything which was huge since I know very little about landscaping. Having dealt with companies who work too fast and produce shoddy results, I was impressed by Victor's oversight of the quality of work being done, and also his taking the time to answer all of my questions, including care and maintenance of the sod, plants, and trees after the project is done. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing landscaping work. read more

I highly recommend! Oscar is very knowledgeable about plants and has great design ideas. Victor is extremely helpful and accommodating. The crew keep a very tidy workspace and are very meticulous. They did a complete backyard landscape, including lighting, irrigation, sod and plants. I plan to use them for my front yard as well. read more

Loved the way Victor transformed my yard into what it today. He's able to look at your project and landscape to your particular needs. I wanted low maintenance so he put in a drip system, succulents and lighting. I also have artificial grass. So I don't have to do anything to my yard at all. When I do contact Victor he calls back on a timely basis. He is very customer service focused and excellent at his craft. I couldn't picture doing my landscaping without him. read more

We could not be happier with the refresh Oscar, Victor, and the team at Caliscapes OC did in our backyard. Oscar called us immediately (same day or next day) after we requested a quote. He came out within a week to see the project. He really understood our vision and what we wanted and offered great suggestions. They were always easy to get ahold of, responsive if we left a message. They were on time every day. The work was accomplished quickly but beautifully. We would (and have) recommended them to anyone looking to do new landscaping or to refresh what they already have. read more

Caliscapes did a great job on my landscaping project. I sent Oscar pictures of what I liked and he patiently answered all my questions to create the design. Then he worked with me on revisions until I was satisfied. Even when Victor came and laid out the plants, he asked me to take a final look and moved and added plants until it was what I was looking for. They also converted my existing sprinklers in that area to an underground drip irrigation system which is better for the plants and saves water. It was a great experience and I am happy with the result. read more

Victor and Oscar are amazing. If you are looking for a company that is very attentive to your needs and responsive to things that come up, they are your guys. Had a new drip system installed in my yard ...my trees and plants love it. A situation came up where there was an issue with a faulty seal in the valve and Victor was right back at my house taking care of it ...great quality job, awesome customer service, and really nice guys. read more

They are great! Professional work with a high quality result. Our front yard looks amazing following their installation of a new lawn, irrigation, and lighting. We plan to use them to upgrade our backyard too! read more

The guys were amazing! Such hard workers and very customer-service oriented; had to move several plants at our request and did so politely and professionally. Strongly Recommend! read more

Victor and Oscar addressed the needs of our newly planted garden, set up a drip system, updated our landscape lights including adding a creative and clever way to highlight our stonework. They were extremely professional, prompt and considerate about texting us with ideas, answering our questions and letting us know when they would arrive. We are very happy with their work and highly recommend them. read more

We had Victor, Oscar and their team demo a large planter in our backyard and replace it with a new brick boarder and concrete patio. They did an amazing job and their team was polite, clean and beat of all, they do amazing work. We're looking forward to having them do our new landscaping as well! read more

I was working with Moon Valley Nurseries who had recommended CaliscapesOC for tree removal service. I gave them a call and met with Oscar Giron and Victor Gonzales. I am so very happy with the results, two dying palm trees gone, and a tree in the back. We ended up putting in lights under my Olive Tree out front & lights out back for my new landscape. They also put in a soaker hose & helped me find an electrician for my fountain. These guys know what they are doing, are very friendly, meticulous with their work, helpful, and fair with their quotes. Happy customer & will definitely be using them again. read more

I'll start by saying that if you need custom landscape and hardscape design and implementation, don't use your gardener or a handyman - just call Caliscapes OC. From the moment we began working with Oscar on the design process, we could tell that we weren't dealing with amateurs. Oscar knows plants, he listens to ideas, he works within budget constraints, and you can tell he has a passion for what he's doing. Communication was clear throughout the entire process - he arrived on time and came prepared with design docs to get our yard looking better. Once the job start date was locked in and Victor arrived, it became apparent that we were dealing with a true professional. Victor arrived on time every single day with his crew. He worked everyday with his crew, guiding them and making sure every detail was as it should be. I admire his work ethic and it was easy to see that his desire for perfection came through in the final product. He and his team did this already back breaking work during a California heat wave and it didn't phase them. These guys are top notch. We received quotes from other "landscapers" in the area and most wouldn't even come out to look at our yard because of job minimums; Caliscapes OC doesn't require a job minimum. We really can't say enough good things about these guys - if you're reading this and want more details or want to see pics, send me a message. Thanks, Oscar and Victor for an amazing experience! read more
