    We'd been wanting to upgrade our backyard for a while, and finally decided to go for it. I used Yelp to search because I trust the real customer reviews--and I'm so glad I did. That's how I found Carmelo's Crew Landscaping. After reading the glowing feedback, I reached out with a request--and Carmelo himself responded within the hour! He offered a free estimate and showed up right on time. Before jumping into anything, he really listened to our ideas, took careful measurements, and walked us through everything. The price he gave us was fair and straightforward. About a week later, his crew showed up and brought our backyard vision to life. We're honestly so happy with the results. The work was clean, professional, and exactly what we hoped for. If you're looking for a landscaping company that actually delivers on what they promise--you just found it. We'll definitely be recommending Carmelo and his team to all our friends and neighbors!

    After

    Had a truly amazing experience with Carmelo, Gabriel, and their wonderful crew! We needed some serious help with our dead embankment and lawn. Carmelo was super responsive on Yelp and quoted us a very fair price that included irrigation, gopher wire, succulents, gravel install, and more. Everything was done in about 1 1/2 days and truly looks better than I ever could have imagined it would! We are so appreciative of their hard work and will definitely be using them when it comes time to redo our backyard. Thanks Carmelo and crew!

    I rarely leave negative reviews. This company is disrespectful, irresponsible, and unprofessional. They FLAKED on TWO scheduled appointments with me. Look at screen shot of our texts below for PROOF. The response they just left here is a LIE. No one tried to contact me to reschedule. I always contacted them first - to get the brush off last minute. Carmelo and I had set up an appointment for an estimate I needed for irrigation work at my house. He said he'd stop by 6/18/2024 but texted me last minute he couldn't make it. He asked to reschedule. I asked him if he was going to show up this time. He confirmed that he would. Today, 6/19/2024, Carmelo flaked AGAIN! I rescheduled my work meetings to work around him both days. Do not contact this company if you value your own time and energy. They certainly don't!

    Carmelo and his team were amazing. From the initial request for a quote all the way through installation, the communication was amazing. Carmelo was easy to get ahold of when I had questions and his crew was the best. Gabriel is a master at his craft and if you are looking for a great team to revamp your backyard, look no further than Carmelo and his team!

    DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.

    Chris's team did an amazing job ive hired them multiple times for everything from basic grass work…read moreto complete clean ups after large rain messed up my backyard. They are always on time and keep you updated as things progress. I will continue to hire them especially because they have never gouged me on pricing. I had multiple quotes for the larger job I had and he came in as the best price and best schedule. Overall 5-5 great team.

    We had an excellent experience with Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance from beginning to end…read more Michael arrived on time for our initial appointment, and his estimate was the most competitive we received without cutting any corners. In fact, his proposal included everything needed to properly prepare and establish a healthy lawn, while other estimates we received were significantly more expensive and included less. Michael recommended St. Augustine grass because we have a large dog, and within a week, his team was ready to start the project. He explained the entire process ahead of time and gave me detailed guidance about the watering schedule, mowing schedule, and recommended equipment for maintaining the new lawn. The crew was amazing--efficient, professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. Carlos, the crew lead, was especially impressive. He is calm, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. He listened carefully to every concern I had and made sure everything was addressed properly. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and they even installed a fence that we provided to protect the new lawn from foot traffic and our dog while it gets established. The finished lawn looks absolutely beautiful. The new sprinkler system is quiet, efficient, and works perfectly. They used new, quality materials and clearly did not cut corners anywhere in the project. After comparing several companies and estimates, I am very happy that we chose Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance. We received a better, more complete project at a very competitive price. Michael, Carlos, and the entire crew exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!
