Christine, my name is Michelle, and you sent an older man who came with his older grandson. I paid via Zelle per your request to your 310 phone number, but you did not provide a receipt. This would have been about 8-12 months ago. You did work for me, although you never came to the property to meet me because you said you were busy with a big project. We texted a lot, especially because he had to come back to fix the work AND pick up the tool that was left behind (which you also thought he'd picked up, and I had to tell you a second time that he hadn't). Take the feedback and apply it if you want, but you definitely did the work for me... or at least I paid you via Zelle for your people to do it. read more

Christine Nakov - From my Zelle recipient details page. I didn't pay her just to post this bummer review. I actually used her services. - Landscaping Near Me

Christine and her team (shoutout to David!) did an absolutely fantastic job transforming our backyard. They installed new sod, terraced our hillside, and built beautiful garden beds so we can actually use and enjoy the space. From start to finish, Christine and David were thoughtful, creative, and professional. They came with great ideas and helped guide us through every step of the process while still listening to our vision. Communication was always clear and timely, and their pricing was very fair for the quality of work they delivered. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend if you're looking for a landscaper who really cares and brings both expertise and heart to the project! read more

Christine Nakov - Landscaping Near Me

I am so happy with the work Christine's team completed for me. She came and gave me an estimate, listened to what I had to say, and asked a few questions for clarification. No hard sell, which I appreciate. Lorenzo, her right hand-man is a great guy and has a strong work ethic. He is friendly, answered any questions I had while the job was going on, he even mowed my grass and did a great. This was a positive experience and I couldn't be happier. I have already asked Christine for estimates for other work I want to complete in the future as well. A++ read more

Christine did 2 outstanding landscaping jobs for us!! One was in a house in La Palma my granddaughter & her fiancée rent from us. The other is our house in Long Beach. She does the initial interview about what your goal is & what your budget is. She has excellent ideas for you to consider. She and her crew got the jobs done in a timely manner. You couldn't go wrong using her! read more

I sent Christine a message on Saturday morning and by Saturday afternoon we were discussing what I wanted done. I also messaged three other landscapers which got to me two weeks later (not a good way to get business.) I was working with LADWP on the Turf Replacement Program so we had a couple of waiting periods for approval. Her and her team were very patient and worked on my schedule. They did a wonderful job picking out colorful plants after removing all the sod and conditioning the soil. I would definitely recommend Christine and her team if you are planning to do a Turf Replacement or any other landscaping. read more

Absolutely amazing service! Christine and her crew came out on the same day that I requested them, and did a very quick, efficient job fixing my sprinkler system. At a great price, too! You don't need to look for any other gardener. Just hire Christine. Thank you so much! read more

Look no further for your gardening needs, Christine is the best! I reached out to get a quote for our front gardening area and side of the house and Christine got back to me right away. She came by our house the same day and gave us a quote and got the project completed the very same week. Our front area and side was a disaster and Christine and her team made true magic happen! They were so quick and did phenomenal work! She picked out the most beautiful plants and flowers! She also got tomatoes, peppers, and herbs for our veggie garden, which looks amazing! I am so glad I found Christine! I was so stressed and overwhelmed and she made the process so smooth and easy. read more

I'm so happy that I found Christine and her team. We were looking to landscaping, maintenance and paving in our small yard. I put in a request for a quote. Christine got back to right away. She called me and offered to come by when I was free and that she was available that day to come by to see our place. She was nice and I felt comfortable with her right away. She had a great vision of ideas we could do for our yard. She even listened to our thoughts and concerns we had and offered a lot of her expertise on how to solve it. She was able to use some of the plants we had and relocated them in places they would look nice. She had wonderful communication via phone, text and overall keeping involved throughout the process. She got back to with all my questions right away. She would send me pictures of plants and prices before proceeding. She and her team were available to do it that week. Which was quick and really nice. On the day of the work, she came early and they had all the plants, pavers, equipment. They got all the work done that day but I felt a lot of love and thought went through all the work. She even sprayed down our patio and cleaned off all the dirt so our patio was clean. We are doing happy and excited for our new landscape and garden. It looks amazing. I would recommend Christine and her team for all my yard, landscape maintenance and I have shared her with my friends and family. Christine also offered yard maintenance whenever we may need it in the future if we needed a clean. I really enjoyed working with Christine and I look forward using her services in the future. Thank you Christine. read more

We requested several projects that were part of a complete yard re-do. The crew removed and refit brick area in front of our home and then cleared the front yard, that was completely over-grown with about 30 years of having free range flowers. Then we had them remove and rebuild the deck and then remove and re-lay brick and stepping stones in our back courtyard. All of the projects came out above our expectations. The yard landscaping looks tidy but not too tidy so my quirky art and plant groupings fit right in! The work was done in a very timely manner and in a very professional way. All of the crew were very nice and always eager to comply with any request. David, the headman, is the hardest working man I have ever seen. He never stops like the energizer bunny. It was a delight to work with Christine, and really appreciate her insight on design and deck. Her pricing was fair for all the projects and I will definitely be calling be back for any future needs. read more

Christine, David and the rest of the team did an absolute amazing job transforming our front and backyards into dreamy spaces that we love spending time in and are proud to show off to family and friends. Christine truly has a passion for her work and treated our home as if it were her own. She provided multiple options for each space at different price points and the work was completed in a very timely manner. Christine was highly considerate of our specific wants and offered tailored recommendations that fit our space. I would highly recommend Christine and her team to anyone looking for landscaping, concrete or deck projects done. Thank you Christine and team! read more

I reached out for their help because my plants were looking very, very anemic and sad. Christine and David were great! Very professional, handled and utilized the pots I had, made suggestions after assessing what I had that they could save and what needed to go. She even showed me how to care for the plants which really helped. It made my little place into a cute container garden! I highly recommend! Thanks again! read more

Christine loves color and really helped transform the yard. David and team did high quality work and left the area spotless and beautiful. Will use them for all my projects. read more

I had been planning to do some major landscaping for some time and had a specific vision in mind which Christine helped me accomplish! Everything happened very quickly and efficiently. Christine is a great communicator. Redid my front lawn - with grass plugs - and parkway - with thyme flats. Both areas pre-treated and rototilled. And also filled my garden beds with new mulch and added new plantings. Will be some time before they are lush enough to see the difference and will update accordingly. Thanks Christine, David and the rest of her team! read more

Christine and her team are AMAZING! They showed up bright and early and had our *formerly neglected* yard in amazing shape so quickly. They even removed and disposed of a fountain we no longer wanted (and took some other disposal items to the dump for us at an extra charge which was above & beyond). Looking forward to her continuing to maintain our landscaping and build upon it to make it even more beautiful. Thank you, Christine & team!! read more

Contacted this business about yard maintenance for my low water use garden that had a couple plants die off. They came out quickly and offered me the recommendations for service that I needed. They replaced dead plants and maintained the irrigation and plants for the rest of the garden. Clear communication, quick diagnoses of needs, and good service make this company easy to recommend. I will be using them for ongoing service to keep my garden looking top notch all year. read more

After having converted our lawn to a garden (thanks, Long Beach Lawn-to-Garden, https://lblawntogarden.com/), we needed our parkway cleared of weeds, weed barrier put down, and mulching. We also needed our irrigation updated to support our trees with slow watering for our clay loam soil (after a previous irrigation company did a bad job). Her price was better than another quote we got, but not suspiciously cheap. At Christine's suggestion, we tried putting stream bubbler heads at each tree. Christine's team was prompt, worked hard, and got everything installed, including finding an underground pipe leak and fixing it (a little trash was found on the site, but not bad). Unfortunately, the stream bubbler heads released water too quickly to spray far enough to soak the root zone and despite their attempts to make adjustments, the water ended up running off into the street rather than soaking in. Christine and I discussed options and she offered to redo the irrigation with drip emitter hose so that the water would come out much slower. Despite needing to redo the work, she was helpful and customer-oriented, and made it right. Now my trees will survive this summer and I can set up my irrigation program knowing that the water will be coming out slow enough to soak in rather than run off. Thanks, Christine, David, and team! read more

Christine was professional and communicated frequently on our backyard landscaping project. Her and David installed sod, irrigation, completed demo and grading, along with installing plants in the planters. She is very knowledgeable on plants and made some nice recommendations. She worked within our schedule and was accommodating. We will call her back to do our front yard landscaping! read more

I am so glad that I found Christine Nakov! We wanted to spruce up our front yard which needed a refresh of the decomposed granite, and the drip system was in need of repair, along with general cleanup and trimming with ongoing bi-weekly service. After meeting with other vendors it was clear that Christine was very knowledgeable and experienced. She patiently listened to our needs and all our questions (what's decomposed granite?) and made practical suggestions that blended well with what was already there. They even ran additional drip under the sidewalk to the curb strip. Christine, David, and the entire team are professional and great to work with! We smile every time we step out the door. read more

We were very happy with Christine & David! The tree planting / garden work was done great. Very friendly and professional - and worked with our schedule and budget. The hubby & I definitely recommend! read more

Christine and her team did a great job refreshing planters in my front and backyard, adding landscaping rock, edging, addressing sprinkler issues, and reseeding the lawn. The work was done promptly (finished in the same week I contacted Christine) and pricing was fair. I would recommend Christine to anyone in the area and look forward to working with Christine on more projects in the future. read more

We asked Christine late on a Sunday to come help. Sure enough, she coordinated to let herself in on Monday, gave us a quote and then came three days early to do the work and for a super reasonable price a year of lack of care was resolved and we're now on a monthly plan. We got it 80% faster than planned and 50% as cheap as others quoted. She was so easy to work with and a few texts, pictures and I come home to a beautiful home. read more

Amazing work from Christine and her crew. She came immediately to assess my property and give her recommendations. The following week came to perform cleaning of my yard--all great quality. Great value and highly professional work. We look forward to continued work with Christine ! read more

Thanks to Christine we recovered from the weeds that were the result of Lawn2Garden. Some of our gazanias had survived but most of the groundcover had been replaced with weeds. Christine quickly cleared the weeds and did thorough search to find ground cover to complement the gazanias that had survived. Our garden looks great again thanks to Christine and her crews hard work! read more

I absolutely adore Christine! I sought her services out because my landscaper at the time didn't meet my expectations. Christine came out the same day I called her. She was extremely professional, friendly and a great listener. She was very attentive to all my concerns and needs. At the end of our conversation, I knew she would take care of me and that I was in good hands. Her subsequent outstanding work was a revelation - she delivered on everything she promised and more. She also had the visionary insight to enhance my patio by adding a beautiful complementary bench and planter containers that absolutely revolutionized my patio. Her creative panache and expert plant knowledge makes me feel fortunate to have found her. read more

Christine and her crew did a wonderful job on a "refresh" of our backyard. It was overgrown and tired. They were responsive and professional. They rearranged/replanted some plants, trimmed overgrown bushes and added some new plants. They worked quickly and efficiently and even cleaned up thoroughly when finished. Rate was very reasonable. We're very happy with our "new" yard! Thanks, Christine. read more

We couldn't be happier with our home! read more

Christine and her crew are nothing short of AMAZING. From the moment I contacted Christine for a quote she was communicative and quick with everything! She sent ideas and pictures to help us create our dream landscape. I could not believe how fast the whole process took. The removal of an entire garden, amending soil, laying down a weed barrier, planting new plants, and laying down mulch only took a weekend. Very impressive. On top of that, Christine showed up the next morning to make sure everything was to our liking and to drop off additional fertilizer. If you are looking for someone who is communicative, quick, kind, talented, and will listen to your concerns and needs- CALL CHRISTINE! You will be so happy that you did. read more

Christine is guru and jack of all trades. We initially asked her to help us with our sprinkler system and consult on some flooding problems we had and loved her so much we've done a few more major projects with her. She's a full on contractor and does so much more than just landscaping. She built us our beautiful ipe wood deck, installed 3 drains through the backyard to prevent flooding, put all new concrete in our driveway, tore down our scary shed, landscaped the entire front and back yards, and we are now using her inside replacing some old and broken windows. She is such a pleasure to work with and turned our meek vision into a dream house. She goes above and beyond and really listened to us and expanded our vision. She is very reasonably priced and we were shocked how much work we were able to have done within our budget. Our yard is so beautiful now we cancelled our wedding venue and are marrying in the backyard in this house Christine has turned into a dream home. We love you so much Christine!! Thank you for all you've done for us! read more

We had been frustrated with a rather uncaring gardener and so found Christine on Yelp. She is good at communicating clearly about what is included for the pricing. She just finished her initial visit and it's blown away our expectations! She's a great find! Went way above and beyond in bringing our garden back. Thank you!! read more

Christine and her right hand, David, were incredibly responsive and a very good team. We met with multiple contractors to assess our side yard drainage issues and potentially update our backyard. Christine was the obvious choice. While a low-medium cost comparatively, she brought more to the table than anyone else by a long shot. We didn't really know what we wanted when we first started, so we would often ask the question, "what do you think would be best?" The number of times I heard back, "whatever you want" from other contractors drove me absolutely insane. Christine came with ideas, preferences, and expertise. And when we didn't agree, she adjusted to meet our wants and needs while making sure we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot. She was communicative, professional, and generous with her time and attention. Ultimately, I generally don't like hiring people for anything around the house because I find that most don't do as good of a job as I would. I would rather just do it myself because I care more than they would. I am so grateful for Christine for caring. She and her crew were detailed and specific. The pavers we ended up putting in on the side yards were especially demanding and they did it far better than I could. The backyard is beautiful and finally usable. Thank you, Christine! We'll see you soon for the front yard renovation. read more

What a difference TWO DAYS makes. Yes I said two days! Not including the time it took to kill the existing weed farm "grass" in the back yard that we had before, it took Christine and her team all of Friday and Saturday to do complete re-landscaping, trees, and irrigation of my back and side yard area. She is very responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. As soon as she came to my home for the estimate she knew what trees and shrubs I already had, by name, and let me know some tips on maintenance. She made my tropical oasis vision become a reality. I cannot recommend her enough. Look no further, Christine and her team will get the job done quickly and will well exceed your expectations.

Christine showed up bright and early wearing a mask (thank you!). Our front garden was so overgrown and such a sight for sore eyes. The climbing roses were in giant tangles with long, thin ugly canes and grass had overtaken our beds. Christine got straight to work, cleaned everything up, and to top it off she gave our cat fresh water, and picked lemons from our tree, and put them in a bag by the front door for us. What an angel!! I highly recommend Christine, not only does she do excellent work she's one sweetheart of a lady. read more

Short version: If you want affordable, professional, person of integrity, nice and knows what they are doing then look no further!!! Long version: Wow Where do I start Christine and her men are a God send. My husband and I moved into our home back in December of 2018 , what originally sold us on this home was the backyard size. My husband and I told ourselves we would transform this yard into the space we wanted so that our little children would have space to run around..well after much effort we realize this was a project too big for our hands. Fast foward beginning of Jan this year when we finally agree that we couldn't do it on our own I started searching for landscaping agencies through yelp! We found Christine and from day 1 of speaking with her I was sold. She came out to our place on time, was professional yet friendly and nice. She gave us a estimate which was unbelievably good considering our space and goal. Unfortunately we decided at that time we couldn't move foward quite yet..Christine was so nice and accommodating. With the whole covid19 going on we decided to look into moving foward with our project so our toddler could have space to run around outside. Folks Christine was on it, not only did she honor her orignally price she was available for us to pick up exactly where we left off. Yall within Two days our backyard was transformed from brown, splotchy, weeds everywhere to this lush beautiful green grass. She gave us a herb garden and a beautiful border of the yard with succulents. I knew zero things about succulents, herbs etc. Christine walked me through it all and even met me at the nursey to help with the whole process. Even random tidbit my mom brought some leaves to the nursey to get Christine's advice how it could thrive more. Christine was so kind to her and gave my mom great advice without hesitation. She is such a kind amazing Landscaper. Our backyard would have not gotten done this quickly on our own. Christine and her crew came in got down to business and got it all done with a smile. We love our backyard and would definitely utlize her services again and recommend her. read more
