We have been working with Carrisal for more than a year. They take care of our front and back yard. They are the first landscaping company that we are fully happy with. We don't need to supervise things when they are at the site. They always come up with good suggestions in terms of rearranging plants to make sure they get enough light. They also set our back yard irrigation system which works very well. Their crew are all young and very friendly. I highly recommend this company and their crew. read more

Noe and his team are top contractors. Noe worked with us to find ways to minimize the cost of a large fence and concrete patio. He was always super communicative, even doing stuff that was not originally within scope. Our fence turned out amazing, and the patio is finally leveled and ready to use. What I appreciated the most about Noe was his honesty. I originally had envision doing walls in the backyard and he provided alternatives so that I could achieve what I wanted while not breaking the bank. He's attentive and honest, which is rare in contractors nowadays. We will definitely work with Carrisal landscaping again! read more

One of the best contractors I've encountered for the front yard work. My neighbor had his front yard done last year and I saw how clean the workers kept his place during construction of a retaining wall. So, I asked him for a phone number of the owner - Noe. My project started relatively small. I wanted a retaining wall done on my front yard. I called Noe. He was available to come and quote the job within a day. His quote was very reasonable. I even felt like the quote was similar to pre-pandemic prices. So I hired his team to do the work. As I watched how he manages the team - Noe was working alongside his team every day - I decided to expand my project and have my entire front yard re-done. At the end - I had a retaining wall built, with a niche for garbage bins, added concrete to expand the driveway, installed irrigation system throughout the front yard, purchased plants and had Noe's team plant it for me, added mulch everywhere, decorative stones, and had a few small jobs done on the backyard. Everything was done quickly, and without any disappointment or dissatisfaction on my end. I used to managing my previous contractors closely as they tend to screw up often, forget what needs to be done, damage what's already there, or disappear for days or weeks without prior notice. Noe had the project under control. I didn't have to manage him or his team. His team was well aware of what to do, and Noe was great at communicating with me what was done and what is left to do. I ended up hiring him again right away to do the backyard cleanup at my parents place. Noe is also a licensed general contractor, which adds peace of mind. I highly recommend him. And if you are in doubt - at least have him quote your project and meet him in person. read more

Do not work with this company. I had to reach out 3 times to try to get Noe to come and give a quote. Now confirmed the date and time and I let he (or she, I'm not sure the Gender so I won't assume) know that I would be working but my sister would be there to let them in and measure and give information for the estimate. They were late. Actually 45 minutes after they were supposed to arrive to the house, someone who couldn't speak English showed and said he needed his boss to be there to give a quote. (Why even show up then?) Then I emailed Noe back a few hours later asking when he/she would come and I got a stupid response you can see in the pics. My sister was letting them in to measure, ask questions and provide a preliminary quote (because she lives in the house and can provide all of that info) but Noe apparently doesn't know how business, money, or respect work. Hey Noe, why would you send someone who can't give a quote but turn around and say you don't give quotes to people who can't authorize them. Don't work with this company. They are idiots. If you don't believe me, look at the emails. read more

Noe and his crew did an excellent job on our fence. It was falling down as you can see from the pictures. They were quick and reasonably priced. Turned out just the way we wanted it and was built to last. Will definitely work with them again read more

Noe is a rare find- especially today with so many service providers over-saturated with clients. Recently, in addition to providing care to our front yard and garden, his team has executed three major projects beautifully. First, were cracks in the stucco and slate stairs as well as grout that had deteriorated significantly in the last 23 years. He timed the work perfectly for the team in the midst of our recent storm system. They were thorough and restored the front steps to their original condition. Their work also stopped leaks into the cellar which was a big source of worry. The second was a tough project of clearing out overgrown shrubs which began to damage the fence. In addition, there were a large number of dead branches that were difficult to remove. The third was a Juniper Tree that had grown to be as tall as the house which is three stories high. His brother worked meticulously to transform it from an unwieldy-looking bush to a beautiful bonsai. Noe's brother Jose who did this work is an artist. It was clear he has tremendous pride in his work. In all three projects, the work took numerous hours and required meticulous cleaning afterward. The team did this beautifully. They did not rush or cut corners and they made sure they left the areas they worked on in pristine condition. Noe, the owner of the company, personally came to not only make sure they did excellent work but also helped with the work. He clearly cares about his team and that translates to excellent service. I highly recommend this company for gardening and more heavy-duty projects inside and out. read more

Incredible artisanship and attention to detail. Far exceeded our expectations and we feel this replacement deck deeply enhances the beauty of our home. As occasional hosts, we felt embarrassed by the condition of our original deck. Now, we will host with pride. Here are some photos so you can see for yourselves. Noe incorporated all our specific details and special requests. His crew was also polite and professional. read more

The team has been doing a great job of helping me take care of my yard since Oct. 2021. I initially reached out for a deep clean of my yard including tree trimming. They brought a team and spent the day clearing out my yard including taking the yard waste with them. Since then I've been doing regular yard care wit them every 6-8weeks. They always do a great job. read more

Well things changed quickly. Worked with Noe for my yard maintenance. Forked up the intial amount to start my service with Noe. Now I am unsure how things work but not much was growing for a while so we had skipped yard maintenance for a while. Then you add in the bay area storms and wet conditions. Was hoping to resume business with Noe but looks like he wanted to charge me the initial start up price again after telling me I had canceled his monthly maintenance which I find incorrect because we didnt need monthly maintenance especially when things werent growing? Super disappointed and will take my business elsewhere. read more

Noe and his team originally came and did a thorough upgrade to our front yard in 2021. They did an incredible job and we have been very satisfied with the results. Two years later, we decided to plant some more native plants and fruit trees so he was the person I reached out to. We negotiated a price and his team of Jose, Cesar and Alexandro did an outstanding job in cleaning up the existing landscaping with lots of weed removal and even inspected our irrigation system. They went above and beyond and cleaned up a section of our back yard, too! We are so grateful for Noe and his company! read more

I have two tall Bottlebrush trees that hang over the sidewalk fence. Three years ago Carrisal Landscaping came and gave my trees a haircut. They badly needed trimming again. I got a couple of bids and they were the best, and it hardly cost anymore than it did three years ago. They do a great job making my trees smooth and rounded just like I ask. The crew is very good and they clean up very well. I definitely recommend them and will use them again. read more

Noe landscaped our backyard, including installing a retaining wall, fence, irrigation system, grass sod, stone patio etc. He was reliable and his price was far better than any other bids we got. It was a relatively big job that took a few weeks of work to get done. He and his team worked very hard. We had to monitor the work, as some of the decisions he or his team would have made without us would not have met our expectations, but that is reflective in the very reasonable price he gave us, and he always honored our requests. We are ultimately happy with the final product and are enjoying our lovely new yard all the time. read more

It is our first landscaping project, so we asked for bids from different contractors. We chose Noe Carrisal because he offered a mid-range price compared to the others and responded timely to our inquiry. Noe was easy to talk to at first, but as we progressed with the project, it became challenging and frustrating. I want to be fair in my review and wanted others to not commit the same issues we experienced if ever you decide to hire him. Noe gave a quote to do pavers and artificial grass on our backyard. We asked if he can include the front yard in the quote, which he agreed to do but requested we buy the materials separately for the frontyard. He also offered us to put aside any junk/trash we have, which he will dump together with the yard trash they gather from breaking down some wooden planters and a tree stump. His crew is very hardworking, efficient and skilled. They are very polite too. But as for Noe, our interactions got frustrating. It started when he asked us to pick the type of pavers. We selected a specific color, but was told it was not available so he had to pick another one. He then asked us to select the type of artificial grass, but when he got to the supplier, he told us that our selection was not available so we had to choose another one. He pressed us to make a decision right away by just sending us a photo. We decided to research on the difference of the type of grass. We found out that our selection is $5/sq ft vs. what he forced us to pick, which is only $2/ sq ft. It was too late when we found out. It came to a point that we just wanted to finish the job. So, when it came to the front yard, we purchased all the materials ourselves except for the turf grass and sand bags, which he has bought already together with the materials for the backyard. Before installation, he gave us a receipt for reimbursement showing 20 sand bags and the turf grass. Before paying for the materials he purchased, out of curiosity, we asked his crew how many sanbags are used at the front yard. They said that they only used 10 of them. The rest are for the backyard , which are already included in the cost. This confirmed that Noe has been cutting costs in the project while trying to charge us for what we have already paid. True enough, a few days before the project was over, he handed us a receipt from Recology. He said that we had to pay $300 for the extra dump. We argued that he previously mentioned that it is all part of his quote and willingly offered us to put other trash. We included wood from a chicken coop and an old cabinet. He insisted that he will only pay for one truck, and our other trash needed a second truck. We didn't know if this is even true. We felt that he was not straightforward and wasn't willing to work with us. He mostly did the project based on what he thinks. Nonetheless, our mistake is not discussing the details that are part of the project. Our project got done, nothing special about it. But, we are not happy customers. Hope this helps. read more

Because Noe and his team did such a great job on our backyard, we asked them to build a trash enclosure for us. We wanted an enclosure for three cans and they did a wonderful job. It's very solid, well built, and very attractive. We get a lot of compliments from our neighbors. Very happy with the outcome and we'll be calling on Noe for future projects! read more

Noe and his team have been tending to our garden since September 2023. They are very easy to work with and the team is very friendly. The did an initial garden cleanup, trimmed all of our large trees, and continue to provide regular maintenance. In addition, they built a French drain where we were seeing a lot of pooling water. They completed that work in only two days. They make sure our irrigation system is working properly, provide thoughts on what plants to add to the garden, and where we might move current plants. It's always a pleasure to work with this team. read more

Noe and his crew have been maintaining my yard monthly for more than 10 years. I have a lot of vines and things that would get out of control otherwise and they have been great. All these years, they come and go with access to the property whether I'm home or not and have been completely reliable. I feel more secure because they always lock up carefully, too. I do not have a green thumb so I rely on them to know what to do and to buy the materials. Recently, he bought bark mulch and pea gravel to tidy up my yard. Photos attached. read more

Carrisal has been doing gardening for us for past 7 years. They have also done landscaping and replaced fence on 2 sides of our backyard. The owner, Noe Cabrera, is an extremely pleasant and reliable person. He will get back to you the same day. The work they do is of superior quality. The prices are very competitive and in most cases far less than other comps. I highly recommend Carissal inc read more

I used this company for my yard, and they did do a nice job, but then I used them for other services, and they missed it up, and when they were suppose to issue me credit for the job that was not completed, I never heard from them again. I would not use them for other services other than yard work. The follow up on correspondence is not the best either. read more

My husband and I thought we could manage our front and backyard by ourselves. What could go wrong right? Well, it's not that anything went wrong, we just didn't have enough time to maintain our yards given our hectic schedules. We needed some help. Our yards were growing out of control with weeds and tall grass. The sight of our yards stressed me out. Finally, we found Carrisal Lanscaping. Noe was very helpful and responded quickly. He was prompt and his team did a great job on our yards. At last, I was stress free. They even hauled the debris away for us. Our small green compost bin couldn't have possible fit all the leaves and weeds. Thanks Noe for your help. You and your team were great and even helped us trim the trees that were growing slightly out of control. Look forward to working with you again! read more

Noe and his team are extremely responsible. He has great communication and provides great work. He is very reliable and has been maintaining our property up In Northern California.

I appreciated timeliness in coming out. I desire to keep several (4) areas of my property green and therefore required irrigation of some sort. 3 fairly large areas (over 100ft x 100 and 2 others slightly smaller. Additionally wanted a decent sized lawn as yard space to our Poolhouse. I decided to do area of most importance to check out work ethics & workmanship. We had totally already cleaned the space for new sod and sprinklers. It appeared measurements were carefully obtained. Where I live the water is pumped in from neighboring city and thus extremely expensive - so efficiency is a must. Work began, and sod was beautifully laid. New sprinklers and new valve installed. Within 3 or 4 days a few sections of sod were clearly dying. They returned to install more sod and replace the sprinkler head for one with wider radius. Appeared fine for another 4 or 5 days - same sections of grass died and reported with pictures again. This time no response from company. Now the valve is continuously leaking (cha-ching$$$$). So initially great response time, but now very disappointed. Soooo many projects and such limited funding doesn't allow for More money to REPEAT same project over again! Glad we decided on the one area to start. Evaluated by another company who stated the leaking valve is about the cheapest you can buy...and known for their ineffectiveness (to those in the business)... further disappointment for I chose this company based on the yelp ratings... The job wasn't cheap in price I wouldn't expected the materials to be. read more

Noe did the initial landscaping work on our yard, planting the trees and plants and setting up the irrigation system, and ever since for the past 5 years his team has performed regular maintenance on our yard. He suggested plants that would do well in our yard and has kept everything looking great. Our backyard is only accessible by going through our house, and they've always been accommodating to our schedule and careful as they went through the house. This was especially important when our kids were at home every day doing classes over Zoom. We've been happy with their work. read more

They were very professional and above all I really appreciate how much time and effort they took towards the details of the construction.

Mr. Cabrera and his crew did a huge amount of work for a reasonable price. Carrisal built and stained a cedar fence, removed a rotting trunk, built a retaining wall, extracted a large podocarpus destroying my foundation, and most importantly installed a decomposed granite backyard for low-water, Marin friendly garden. I must agree with Randolph H. that monitoring of decisions was required, but that reflects his focus on the work, as well as his very reasonable price. I have a lot more work to do, and will definitely select Carrisal again if the work holds up the way it looks. We are most pleased. read more

Bottomline, would we use them again ??.....definitely YES !!! Would we recommend them....definitely YES !!! We have a large easement that require annual maintenance.
