I can't say enough good things about Farwad and Creative Landscapes. From the moment he answered the phone he was professional, clear and friendly. After the initial quote was a little higher than I wanted, he worked with me to bring it into budget. And he stuck to the budget. Even when things popped up here and there there was never talk of adding cost. The crew worked hard and left the place clean and tidy. Farwad was there frequently to check on everything. But what has blown me away most is after the job was done. Farwad continues to check on my new lawn and plants. He responds immediately when I call and ask him questions. While I was on vacation he visited frequently to make sure that my new lawn was establishing itself while I was gone. I would recommend him to anyone that needs work on their lawn. For reference, he removed tons of concrete from my backyard, removed the front and backyards down to dirt. I had new plants, trees and grass all put in, as well as a paver patio and paver walkway. Sprinklers and drip watering systems were also installed, and he trimmed my existing trees. A ton of work at a very fair price. I called 12 companies, spoke directly with 6, and got quotes from 4, so I did my homework. Glad I did and glad I hired Farwad. read more

We had a backyard that had ivy growing over other plants, as well as bushes and trees that had sprouted up on their own, resulting in the appearance of a jungle more than a suburban yard. We live below a hill and our yard has several variations of height; the former owner had landscaped using cement blocks and paving stones, and my husband reinforced some areas with broken concrete to prevent landslides. I knew it would be a big job to get rid of the ivy and create a more civilized backyard, but Creative Landscapes managed to get it done. I don't like phone calls, so one of my requirements for finding a landscaper was that he/she respond to email or text inquiries. I had sent emails to several other companies who didn't respond at all, or who responded late. Fawad responded quickly to my first email and others sent throughout the job. He spent a lot of time discussing the plans, and responded quickly when we had questions or concerns. We are very happy with our newly landscaped back yard, and had Creative Landscapes do some extra work in our front yard. read more

My mom used Creative landscaping last summer to landscape the backyard of one of her rental properties. She was very happy with her experience, and trust me, she has high expectations!!! Because of this great experience, I decided to use them for my own home landscaping needs. When I met with Fawad, I explained to him what my budget was and what I wanted. He has been extremely respectful and accommodating of my family's needs, my budget and my time. So far, the customer service and efficiency is exceptional! They began work today, and I'm so excited to see the finished product! I will definitely update this review when the job is complete :) UPDATE: The crew completed the job today, and I am BEYOND SATISFIED! The entire process went so smooth. My neighbors have been stopping by to acknowledge how nice my yards turned out. a few special notes: I had two small live Christmas trees in an overgrown part of my yard, that my son and I had planted after our first Christmas in this home. The guys preserved the trees while roto-tilling that area and now they are showcased beautifully! I forgot to tell them to save the trees, looks like I didn't have to! Further, my neighbor was having an issue with his sprinkler yesterday and he asked Fawad if he could take a look since they were putting in my system. Fawad kindly fixed the sprinkler for him (it needed a little adjustment) free of charge! read more

Bye bye Juniper bushes! I hated my front yard landscape. It had trees that made it look like Christmas year round. Not to mention several overgrown juniper bushes/ shrubs . Creative Landscape removed all the overgrown shrubs bushes boulders and installed stadium grass with a new sprinkler system. Tawab was essential to making my home look normal and my smiling every time I drive up to the driveway. I just love it. It was by far the most affordable bid and it took about a week to complete. before & after pictures uploaded. read more

Fawad is great. We found out about his business by word-of-mouth a few years back. We had a very large tree in our front yard and it was becoming dangerous. Creative Landscapes took it out for a great price. In 2013 we had a Creative Landscapes take our old deck, put in cement, take out three trees and build us a larger backyard fence. They also took out plants and landscaped the front yard with beautiful little flowers. We are very happy with Creative Landscapes. We would recommend him to anyone. read more

Fawad and his team did an amazing job on changing our front and back yards from terrible to fantastic!!! His team is friendly, clean cut, hardworking, an detail oriented. Fawad's design for the yards was thoughtful and incorporated all of our wishes. The price for completely making over both yards was incredibly reasonable. I would highly recommend this company, the team, to anyone. read more

Thanks for being great Fawad! I called Fawad, the owner to schedule an estimate for my my big and messy backyard. He came in the next day on time and had so many suggestions and ideas for me. My first plan though for my budget was just to level my back yard and do a clean up for both backyard and front yard. We scheduled a day to do so. On the day of the project, Fawad and his crew came on time!! I was very happy! Also, although the job seemed a lot and it took a few days to be done, Fawad still charged a very reasonable price. My backyard looks a lot better now. Clean and leveled! Now, time for landscaping ideas and will keep in contact with him for sure!!!! Thank you again for being honest and so passionate about your work, Fawad! read more

Fwahab did an amazing job for our back and front yard. Everything looks so nice and beautiful!!!! Green grass and colorful flowers are around the houses. A few neighbors came to me and told me how beautiful our landscape was. Thanks to Fwahab and his workers!!!! Not everyone is Fwahab, he takes seriously for your project and gives you a lot of advices! His workers work super hard and are very on time once the project starts. If you consider new fresh look for your yard, definitely call Fwahab! Thumbs up!!!!!!! read more

Creative Landscapes - Landscaping Near Me

We had a front yard with a small odd sized area of lawn and a fairly large back yard with a surrounding flower bed full of grass, plants and weeds. We decided to get rid of it all and replace it with pavers, rock, tanbark and water saving potted plants. We got several estimates from Yelp and Creative Landscapes was the by far the lowest. More importantly we were very impressed by the owner, Fawad. He listened to our ideas and suggested material options and explained in detail what would be involved. He was professional, personable and a really cool guy. Hands down, based on his estimate and Fawad himself, we went with Creative Landscapes. A week later, Fawad started the job on Monday and Friday afternoon the job was finished. Fawad's workers were the most amazing, two brother team. My husband said they were working like machines. They were very skilled, hardworking, prompt and did an outstanding job that we are so pleased with. We are so happy with the their work and the outcome. No more watering or lawn mowing! We owe it all to Fawad and his team. Thank you, Fawad. We highly recommend Creative Landscapes. read more

Fawad and his crew just finished my yard which included taking out my old lawn that wasted a lot of waters and installed a drought tolerant plants with drip irrigation. We are super excited about the front yard because of the on going drought. He also did a clean up , planting, mulch and irrigation for our back yard. Creative landscapes work quality is second to none. His crew is very dedicated and hard working. He also gave us a great estimate and did not charge for few extra work we added. We would recommend Fawad to any of our friends and family without a doubt. read more

I don't even know where to begin..... Creative Landscapes is the BEST. They show up when they say they will, they do a beautiful job for an excellent price. I have had them do a brick patio (so so beautiful), a brand new front lawn and a sprinkler system(back yard and front). When we needed to add a sprinkler in the back yard they came out within two days and did not even charge me a dime. Holy bazookas!!!I would hire them anytime again. They work hard and do one of the best jobs you could hope for. Stand up guys...all of them! read more

Like another reviewer, I contacted Creative Landscapes and was pleased to get a prompt response and an estimate visit scheduled rapidly. However, after spending some time with Fawad and discussing the changes I needed, I never heard back from him. He promised an estimate via email within a week (I even typed my email into the iPad, so I am certain he has it correct). It's been over 2 weeks now, and not a call or email. Very poor customer service. read more

Creative Landscapes did a beautiful job with my house - sprinklers, yard, bush removal, drip system, and planting. Fawad, the owner, was very professional and extremely courteous. He communicated very well and was accessible even via text and email. He came to my house to provide a quote and was very up front with the costs and time. He worked within my budget and never try to up sell anything. Also, his team wore uniforms which was a nice touch. When the time is right, I plan to use Creative Landscapes in the future for my backyard! read more

I make an appointment with the owner, Fawad to come out and give me a quote on how much to take care of my lawn two time a month. We both came to an agreement on the price and time when he will come out to take care of my lawn. Fawad promised me that he will email the information and contract but he never did. He promised that his crew will be out to my house to do the maintenance on my lawn but never did. I have never dealt with anyone that make promised and never follow-thru. I would not recommend or use Creative Landscapes again. read more

Fawad gave me a bid on Sunday, I accepted the bid on Monday, he called me Tuesday to confirm, and when I got home from work Wednesday the job was done!!! I was thrilled!! It was done exactly to spec, no surprises or hidden costs and he did it all quickly and without any issues. My yard was left spotless and I couldn't have been happier!!! I've never "tipped" a contractor before this...usually it's the opposite, I'd like to deduct money, but words alone could not express how happy I was with the customer service and completed job from Creative Landscapes. I would highly recommend them, and will use them again when we redo the backyard. Two thumbs up and 5 stars to Fawad for restoring my faith in contractors!!! read more

Fawad and his team do absolutely great work. We have been working with Fawad for more than 10 years at both our current house and previous house. We really appreciate his attention to detail and the fair way he treats everyone he works with. He has transformed our once overgrown back yard into peaceful and useable space. He brings many great ideas from his years of experience. We look forward to working on our next transformation with Fawad. read more

We had a great experience working with Fawad. In the beginning I had sent emails to a ton of landscaping companies asking for an estimate and Fawad's reply was prompt and he was quick to come by and give us an honest estimate. He worked with our budget and gave us good ideas to convert our outdated yards to a beautiful low maintenance space. Our backyard/front yard was nothing but just weeds and crap grass and now we have beautiful plants, a Japanese garden with custom waterfall and lights, a beautiful seating area, vegetable garden and a good space to entertain. He listened to our ideas and made sure we get what we wanted. He also installed new sprinklers and drip irrigation system which is working great. He took the time to explain the process in every step of the way. His employees (Juan and Antonio) were also very hard working and did a great job. They were here early and cleaned up everything before they left. Having a clearly laid out contract helped set the right expectations on both sides so the execution was fairly smooth without too much back and forth. The timeline was fluctuating a bit but we felt that that is okay because we insisted on some changes as the project was underway. Even at that time Fawad made sure he discussed the changes being made and that we were happy with the outcome. He was also patient, humble and courteous and always appreciated the inputs/criticism which I think is an amazing quality in itself. We are enjoying our backyard more than ever. I would definitely recommend Fawad for any landscaping projects without any hesitation. read more

What a great company. They just finished the second service for me and did another fantastic job. They are very reasonable with prices and are up front on how much things will cost. They showed up on time everyday and finished the job on time. My yard looks great. I will definitely be using them again for any further landscaping jobs. read more

Fawad did an excellent job with my yard. When I called him, I had been working with a very unreliable gardener and both the front and back yards were dying. Additionally, the sprinklers were either not going on or watering too much in different areas. Fawad came by to provide an estimate and then did a yard "intervention" to save the lawns! He evaluated each individual sprinkler and set them at the appropriate level for where they were in the yards. He then set the sprinkler timer to water the yards at the right frequency given the season we were in. He even discovered there was a specific sprinkler to water my Magnolia tree which made me very happy! He also recommend a local gardener who now keeps the yards looking great. Fast forward to today and the yards are green, healthy and looking beautiful! The extra bonus is I have old-fashioned lamps in the back and front yards and he showed me how to program those too (no extra charge). Now the back yard is pretty, well-lit and extra safe when I get home. Fawad is a really nice guy who strives for excellent customer service. I always got a call back and he came to the appointments we set on time. If your yard is in need of some TLC, I am certain Creative Landscapes can get the job done. read more

Fawahd is great! We hired this company to do our soft landscaping (cleanup, planting new trees, fix garden lighting & sprinklers). He is very affordable and goes the extra mile. Once or twice, he didn't finish something on time but the job is always completed. He shows up also randomly to make sure he adjusts my sprinklers, gave me contractor discounts for plants, bark etc. Right now we've hired is company to continue garden maintenance. So far we have been pleased. read more

Everything about everything in this company is amazing, top notch, top self, the best in landscaping in the entire bay area if not the whole state. read more

Creative Landscapes was completely booked when I first called, and they were courteous enough to tell me their lead times, based on their schedule. It turned out to be about a month out to get an appointment. It was well worth the wait. Fawad was involved from start to finish, and I highly recommend him and his team for landscaping prep, irrigation, and sod. The quote was clear, the price was competitive, and the crew was skilled. Details were not missed - down to matching the grain of the sod and a clean wiring run from the back yard to the inside garage timer installation. I am very satisfied and would look to Fawad and Creative Landscapes again next year when we need to overhaul the front yard irrigation and landscaping. read more

Fawad is so wonderful .I've been using creative landscapes for years now .High quality work for sure !I would never have anyone else touch my yard . read more

Fawad and his crew have been great and hard working. We have called Fawad when we needed lots of yard clean-up, weeding, and special jobs. He's professional and responsive and his crew is always very, very hard working. read more

Fawad and his team did an awesome job! We just had dirt in our backyard, and he created a beautiful area! A new patio with pavers, sprinklers, sod and well prepared planting areas. It's a wonderful improvement. Fawad was always willing to do even more than we asked.....hauling out clippings we did ourselves, haul additional planting materials and adding watering lines. Fawad was always timely with information, would either answer my phone calls or call me back immediately. Just a pleasure to work with. He did what he said he was going to do, and on time. His quote was accurate and reasonable. I'd recommend Creative Landscapes and Fawad for any landscaping job. I am truly a happy customer! read more

Creative Landscapes is awesome! Fawad and his team are professional, friendly, and always show up when they say they will be there. They have been taking care of my yard for many years now -- and on many occasions (usually before a party at our house), I will call Fawad at the last minute and he will clean up my yard right before our get together. The best is that he is really reasonable in price, and leaves the yard spotless! We even had him put in chicken wire below our fence to keep out the gophers - which was back breaking work and not easy. He also fixed our broken fences for a really reasonable price. Two thumbs up for Creative Landscapes! You will not be disappointed. read more

I tried to contact this company after getting referrals from a couple of neighbors. I called twice and left messages on voicemail during business hours. I never got a reply. read more

We needed to replace our ~330 sq ft backyard with artificial turf and Fawad's team did an excellent job. Not only did he provide a very reasonable price quote for the job but also finished 1 day ahead of schedule. What we like about his customer service is that he took time and effort to work with us in deciding which artificial turf type/pattern/color/drainage to choose for our needs. He waited patiently 2-3 weeks and provided multiple samples for us to review before deciding on the final product. Communication via emails/texts was very prompt and reliable. read more

i have called and left messages but never get a respose very bad for new customer basis or future

We worked with Fawad and team last year to completely redo our backyard by ripping out a lot of concrete and old structures and replacing it with sod, garden boxes, play area...etc. The transformation has been amazing and it was crazy to see how fast they could remove debris compared to if I were trying to do it myself. It was a great experience and we'd definitely work with Fawad and team again. read more

Fawad was great. He was so nice, he did a BEAUTIFUL Job on my backyard. Ever since he fixed the backyard I can't help to stay outside all day LOL .......He is so nice and has the best attitude , with reasonable prices. I am very happy to be a creative landscapes customer read more
