I first met Humberto when I opened a Yelp project ticket in January. He was not only quick to respond, (he came over within an hour, on a Sunday), he also was transparent in his pricing and had great suggestions. I could tell he knew a lot about gardening. Humberto and Alejandro came in January for the first visit, and as was right for the season, they pruned all of the bushes, weeded the mulch and stone areas, and mowed the lawn. I liked them so much that first visit we made a plan for the next visit in the spring, which happened today! Humberto brought just the stone I wanted (he knew it by name when he saw it the first time), to refresh the old stone and also brought the mulch that we had talked about- both in the perfect quantity. Today they also mowed and fertilized the grass (the right time of year for that now), cleaned up all of my pots, put new plants in huge heavy ceramic pots, replanted some outlier succulents from the stone area, and did a thoughtful cleanup all around. He advised me about "sunny plants" and "shady plants" too, which was very useful. The yard is beaming with Springtime! Humberto is busy for a good reason, so plan for that, but a shiny well thought out garden is a joy.

McKay Irrigation Systems gets a very high rating on Yelp (and also from some of my neighbors) for a…read morereason: they do great work. Sherman McKay runs the show, and he runs it well. He's great with communication, and his estimate was right on point. I had some drainage work done at my house which trashed my entire irrigation system, so I needed to have it replaced, both in the front and back yard. The McKay crew did a bang up job of it. They came in on time and on budget. They had the whole system laid out and running within about two days. Then Sherman spent some time with me to make sure I knew how to operate the controllers. In fact, they do more than irrigation, and I will likely have them come back and put in some new plants and do some other work in my backyard. They did such a good job with the irrigation system that I have high confidence they will make quick work of the other jobs too. I strongly recommend them.

Sherman is awesome! We were having an issue with our irrigation control system that resulted in a…read morereally high water bill (spoiler alert--it was my fault, I set it incorrectly). Sherman came over for a quick site visit, adjusted the control for me free of charge and he also took a quick look at our overall system which he thought was running pretty well overall. I'm so appreciative of his help and him sharing his knowledge with me. When we upgrade our irrigation control system this summer, I'll definitely go with Mckay Irrigation. Highly recommend based on my positive interaction, Sherman's vast knowledge and just generally great overall customer service.

The team radically transformed our backyard to a wonderful space. They were incredibly professional and clearly have a plan and know what they're doing. They also took great steps to keep our house clean during the project ( they had to trek through our downstairs playroom to access the backyard, hauling debris, plants, and dirt through and avoiding making a mess). We couldn't recommend them more. Thank you!

Logiculture recently completed a complete hardscape and landscape refresh of our backyard. Rob was…read morevery responsive to my initial outreach over email and in scheduling a site visit. We gave him a general idea of what we were looking for. He came back with a rough sketch of what we were looking for, and an estimate within our budget that included hardscaping *and* landscaping, along with irrigation and a contingency budget. (Lots of contractors we spoke to did landscaping or hardscaping, but not both; and none came with design ideas.) As demolition was ending, Monica came back with more specific designs, including for our deck and specific pollinator-friendly and low-water plants. The design discussion was collaborative and she took into account that the yard would be used by dogs and kids (thus plants needed to withstand less-than-mindful foot traffic). The crew were always on time and left the site (and our garage) cleaner than they found it. Thank you to Rob, Monica, Ryan, Mick, Oscar, and Keith for a fabulous job! As you'll see from before pics, the concrete deck was uneven, small, and the yard was a weedy sand pit. Now it's an amazing entertainment space where the kids can play safely, bees and hummingbirds can catch a meal, and then rest of us can hang out and enjoy!

My experience with Go Green Landscape was wonderful. Everyone I spoke with was very kind and…read morecommunicative, from the front office to the hands-on landscaping team. I work for an elementary school, and the team was very flexible with the school's hours and difficult access. Ambar in the front office always emailed back quickly and with kindness and enthusiasm! Daniel came for a preliminary site visit and was very clear about the project possibilities and limitations. When Carlos and the team came for the actual project, they went above and beyond to deliver the project outcomes. They removed a huge amount of green waste, removed rootballs, and provided quality tree trimming. They worked alongside our school volunteers for the second day of the project, and the volunteers loved chatting with the team!

And their rates were $800.00 less than another estimate I got. Couldn't believe how much money I saved. Dependable, professional, cost-saving and friendly.

I moved into my current home in 2022 - it had an existing irrigation system but I quickly realized…read morethat it was not in a usable state and for the first summer of living in my home spent hours a week watering plants and grass using a nose. In 2023 I vowed to myself that I would have a functioning irrigation system by the end of the rainy season/start of summer. I reached out and started getting quotes - one of them was from Green Sunsets (Daniel). He was prompt when he came by for the quote and it was clear that he had extensive knowledge of planning and setting up irrigation systems. He ended up quoting me for a). a new system vs. b). going in and troubleshooting the existing system which I appreciated. His quote was reasonable and he was patient and thorough with me when I had a few followup questions - I ended up moving forward with Daniel to do the work. He was able to get me on his calendar pretty quickly and the whole job ended up taking about 3-4 days. Daniel had a team of workers to help him - his team was hard working and I appreciate that Daniel was also present for all of the days and directly checked the new system as it was installed to verify that everyting was set up correctly. In addition to the irrigation work, my yard was also very overgrown - Daniel and his team also did great work for me at the same time in removing a broken trellis, removing pesky vines, and pulling out a bunch of overgrown plants and bushes. Fast forward one year to spring 2024. After the rainy season ended (and irrigation system needed to be used) I noticed that there were a few breaks/leaks in the tubing/lines. I reached out to Daniel to ask about and he came by to my home. My initial thought was that either thirsty squirrels or our gardener had broken a few of the lines. Daniel assessed and came to the same conclusion, but since it was a fairly small task offered to help fix at no charge (even though the leaks were caused by our gardener). Daniel's work left me as a very happy customer and I am happy to recommend Green Sunsets.

Gilbert scheduled a time to come take a look at the project and was punctual for our scheduled appointment. After looking at the project with Gilbert, and explaining to him what I was looking to have done, it was clear to me that Gilbert understood and that he was very knowledgeable about irrigation systems. Normally I would not hire a contractor with less than 25 Yelp reviews. (My wife was not happy that I was even considering hiring a contractor with only a handful of Yelp reviews!) However, having a construction background myself, after speaking with Gilbert, I had a very good feeling about his abilities. On my intuition and general feeling that Gilbert understood and would provide a quality job, I hired Valley Vista Landscaping for my project. Gilbert was very responsive and communicative throughout the project. Gilbert was calm, patient and made me feel like he really cared about the quality of the job that he was doing and the project as a whole. In fact, Gilbert went above and beyond - without being asked to do so he added two additional sprinkler heads to water a section of the lawn that was not being covered by my existing watering system - he did not ask for any additional payment! Gilbert saw an issue with my system and just fixed it! Gilbert and his crew exceeded my expectations for this job and the price was very fair. I have posted several Yelp reviews over the past many years. This review for Gilbert at Valley Vista Landscaping is one that is well deserved. I would happily hire Gilbert again and highly recommend Valley Vista Landscaping without any reservations!
