I am delighted to share our experience with Bazan Landscaping. We recently completed a front yard…read moremakeover and couldn't be more pleased with the results and with the expertise and service provided by Hugo Bazan and his colleagues.
Hugo provided a detailed estimate for the work, far more thorough than the other landscape contractors from which we requested bids. He was the only contractor to provide references, and when we visited the properties we were extremely impressed by the quality of the work and by the knowledgeable and elegant design. When we talked with the homeowner at the first property we visited, he noted that he was so pleased that he recommended Bazan Landscaping to his brother, who took his advice.
Hugo's brother Carlos has an engineering degree from university in Mexico, and we benefitted greatly from his talents; as one example, he recommended a different type of stone than we had planned for the edging of front steps, and his advice was excellent. The result was a more accessible and stylish entrance to our home. Hugo and Carlos also offered suggestions on the color of the pavers we selected, which complemented perfectly the stone and paint scheme on our home.
Every member of Bazan's crew was skilled and courteous. I was extremely impressed by the level and range of skills each worker possessed, from carpentry and stonemasonry to handling tractors and other heavy equipment. Hugo knows a vast network of skilled craftsmen, so when we decided to pour a new concrete sidewalk and driveway approach, he was able to handle this facet of the project in a timely and effective manner, and the cost was considerably less than other contractors.
Hugo offered us expert recommendations on our sprinkler and lighting systems as well, pointing us to excellent buys on professional-grade equipment and providing clean and efficient installation. He even came to our home in the evening to check that the lighting pattern he recommended provided the coverage that he had designed. The pattern was perfect. I have never encountered a contractor providing this level of customer service.
Hugo Bazan has demonstrated a genuine commitment to quality and takes great pride in his company's work. He was always responsive to phone calls and questions and continually checked to confirm that we were satisfied with the quality and pace of the work. Throughout our project, he demonstrated professionalism, generosity, and integrity. We plan to do a back yard makeover in the next few months and will again use Bazan Landscaping. I cannot think of a stronger recommendation and urge you to give full consideration to this excellent contractor.
***** UPDATE *****
Since I wrote the review above in August 2013, we had Bazan Landscaping do a full makeover on our back yard, tearing out cracked concrete decking around our pool and again installing the excellent CalStone pavers we used in our front yard. Hugo added drainage lines, a concrete pad for pool equipment, a foundation for a 9x13 garden shed, as well as irrigation and lighting. The quality was, as before, superb. Again, his crew demonstrated excellent skills and an efficient work mode. Hugo offered his usual cogent advice on creating a powerful aesthetic, resulting in an elegant design, and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.
Since my 2013 review, Bazan Landscaping has reinvested revenues in the business, adding several tractors, a dump truck, and other equipment. They've done many and diverse projects, from substantial retaining walls to condo hardscapes. They've expanded their crew, and trained them in the high level of skills and commitment expected of Bazan staff. As before, I recommend Bazan Landscaping with great enthusiasm and sincerity.
