I ignored the 1 star reviews, here's why you shouldn't:…read more Unless you are willing to double check every plant they plant, and clean up after them, find someone else. I trusted them with my hard earned money. It wasn't enough to motivate them to do a decent job. We spent thousand and got the laziest, most low effort job I've ever had done on anything in my house. Kevin seems to know what he's talking about, and is easy to work with. But when it came time for work to be done, all bets were off. Do not be fooled. Here's what happened. A couple of years ago we paid a lot of money to have a lot of plants planted and our watering system overhauled because we were having watering issues. Planting - many of the plants died because they were planted in unsuitable spots (spots they chose) and many plants have never really died but never grown or looked healthy. I finally decided to dig those ones up and I KID YOU NOT, many of them weren't even planted in the ground. They were planted in the mulch, sitting on top of the weed barrier (see picture). One had half the root ball just exposed. More than one plant was planted with the large plastic plant label in the ground blocking the roots. At the end, they said they couldn't bury the new drip lines because there wasn't enough mulch, so I went out and spent 45 minutes doing it no problem. They were so lazy that if they couldn't dump a bunch of new mulch to cover the lines, they weren't interested. Worst of all, they didn't even fix the irrigation system I needed them to fix. The Watering - A huge concern we had was the watering system since many plants were being over-watered and dying from rot. Once they finished their work I doubled checked with the foreman that the problem areas where fixed and he assured me they were. Guess what, they didn't even touch it! They just left the system I put in and all the plants died due to over watering. I have since found many more issues. Please be warned. Like I said, I trusted them with thousand of my hard earned money. Money that meant a lot to me. I guess it wasn't enough to get them to do a respectable job. EDIT - Kevin's response is typical and should worry customers. Its: 1. I'm so sorry you weren't more aggressive about being on top of our numerous mistakes. You expect some mistakes but when the errors are so incompetent (plugging in emitters backwards so they drown you plants) its absurd to put it on the customer to double check ALL work. 2. He clearly didn't read the review because that would have answered the questions he is asking. 3. I mention why it took me so long to respond. I mention the watering problem and that it had nothing to do with equipment failure. And I mention that the problem wasn't plants being planted for proper drainage, but rather not even planted in the soil. Literally on top of weed barrier and buried in mulch. 4. Finally, I didn't say I buried the irrigation in dirt, I was able to easily bury it in the mulch that his team said was too difficult. AND I did have him come back to replace plants that died immediately. He worked hard to convince to leave the sickly ones still in to give them more time. BE CAREFUL. Seems like he has a few teams and some are great. But his response to my complaints should concern everyone. He should have said, "I am so sorry we missed the mark here, can I call you to discuss?"

Eh. Small business. Seemed honest. I knew it was a gamble…read morewith only 24 reviews on here. 2025: Got a bid for job 1. Price was so good asked for bid for job 2. Agreed to proceed with one bid at a time. Glad I did that. BTW bids came in far lower than other competitors. Now I know why. I'm not going to bash the experience with detail, but here's something to note: Skeleton crew. The regular down to earth blue collar workers they were had me trusting them but I found myself constantly asking questions as after the contract was signed, communication slowed drastically. I thought more detail would be discussed. Think this particular job was out of their lane and, to me, they left it incomplete/did the bare minimum/ couldn't wait to get outta there. They also were random in their work schedule. Sometimes there for half a day then you wouldn't see em for days. It took at least double the time projected. Thought maybe it could be a fluke as there were some noticeable issues with the business which seemed out of their control, so asked for some updates to job 1 bid. I was assured a bid would be revised/sent, but ironically, I cut the final check for the job completed, then I was ghosted. Tried to give this business benefit of the doubt, but they constantly showed red flags. Hey if you like letting a businesses take full control of your project, its basic and you don't really care about detail, this is a business for you. A lot of the photos show very basic 101 jobs completed on here. Hope everyone learns something from my experience.

I had this company come out last summer. He built a couple of retaining walls and performed that…read morework beautifully. However the landscape portion was terrible. First of many problems: the watering controller he installed did not work properly from the get-go. I told Pete about it and requested a receipt for the controller (it was the end of the job so he wasn't planning to return). Instead he came out and fiddled with the controller and said it works fine. He left and it still didn't water according to the settings so he came out again (after the job was completed) and fiddled some more, saying again there was nothing wrong with the controller. He never gave me a receipt, so as the same problem kept occurring, I finally had to replace it. Because Pete never gave me a receipt (I suspect he used a controller he had sitting around, and not a new one for my job, however he told me it was "professional grade" and cost $300), I couldn't return it and had to spend more money on the new controller. Very irritating. Irrigation system and planting: I asked him to add on to the existing drip irrigation system and bring water to several fruit trees and numerous new shrubs I requested that he put in. However he installed 1 gal. drippers to everything, whether it was a large existing fruit tree or a new small shrub. Fruit trees require a lot more water...Pete told me he was an arborist so he should know the right amount of water fruit trees need. Now I'm having to switch out these drippers myself to something that provides adequate water. Again not something I should have to be doing. I requested all cascading rosemary shrubs in numerous locations. He installed half cascading rosemary and half something else (I don't know the name...he didn't provide any tags). My bad for not saying something at the time, as I thought the additional color might be pretty. Well, the other plants he selected COMPLETELY took over the area covering the slower growing cascading rosemary. Now I have to tear some of those plants out and put them elsewhere, so that I can see the plants I requested in the first place. Some of the new plants he put in began to die after a while so I looked a little closer to figure out why. Half the root system was above ground...the hole was not dug nearly deep enough! I tried to correct this but unfortunately the plants were too far gone so my effort was not in time. Finally, I asked Pete to shore up some fence posts that were lagging. It was a picket fence surrounding a small patch of my front yard. I asked him to go around and check each post. I am too trusting...I assumed he had done that. However, he only shored up 4 fence posts and not the posts on either side of the gate, the ones that needed attention the most. Overall, I am pretty unhappy with the job this company did for me. I read other reviews stating how detail oriented Pete was for them...He did not pay attention to the details of my landscaping project, and I'm not sure he dealt honorably with me about the controller problem. I would not recommend him/his company.
