Sydni C.

Interacting with David was a complete waste of time. He is unprofessional and clearly doesn't think honesty is important. I connected with David on Thursday. First we communicated here in the Yelp app and then we spoke by phone. We discussed the work that needed to be done, agreed on a price, and he was scheduled to arrive on Sunday morning around 8:30am. In our text messages, I asked if his business was insured. He said it was, so I provided my email address and asked that he share a copy of his certificate of insurance. He said he would send it and call on Saturday to confirm the clean up appointment. He never called on Saturday. He never emailed me the insurance certificate. On Sunday at 8:30am, he did not show up. Close to 8:45a, I called to ask if he was still coming. No answer. At 9:47am, I received this voicemail: "I'm sorry I didn't call you yesterday to confirm our appointment for today. My insurance expired on Friday. I was trying to work it out with another company to get my insurance and liability for my business. So I'm really sorry if you get this message. You can call me back. Thank you very much, and have a nice Sunday." So, David must have known about his insurance situation when we talked on Thursday, which means he was knowingly dishonest with me. Even if what he said was true, which I don't believe it is, he could have told me on Friday so I could make other arrangements to get the work done. He also could have called me at any point on Saturday or even Sunday morning, but he chose to do neither. Cleaning the yard was a surprise gift for my husband, but the gift was ruined because David chose to be dishonest. Take your business and your hard-earned money elsewhere.

Appreciated the work done along my side yard. I requested a French drain along an inside corner that pooled water during the winter and connected to one of the drain spouts. So this was the time to do it. Over a number of bids, this was a good value for work done.

Quick response. Hard working. Placed rocks along the borders of my backyard. Finished in one day.

With all the recent rain, my house was surrounded by weeds and overgrown grass. I found David, here, on Yelp. I called about getting a quote, and he arrived later that day. After explaining what I wanted done, he suggested a fair price. We scheduled a date and time, and he arrived promptly. It took him only one day, to fix everything. He did a good and thorough job. I've attached photos, to illustrate. I'll definitely hire him again, next time.

After Pergola installed

We were having our home painted and wanted a Pergola built over the garage door. I read all of David's reviews from Yelp and decided to give him a call. He arrived promptly to see what I had in mind. After explaining exactly what my vision was, he said I can do that and gave me an estimate. David came back on a Saturday and completed the project in one day. I couldn't have been happier with the end result; I would defiantly recommend his services and will be using him in the future!

Retaining wall plants

David installed plants/mulch/drip system into our retaining wall and fixed an issue with our sprinkler system. All was done well!! We payed out of pocket for the plants and sprinkler solenoid valve, then paid him for labor and any other things he needed to complete the job. Quote was reasonable. He was always very responsive to texting. Only thing keeping us from rating 5 stars was that he worked a seemingly random schedule and we needed him to come back to fix the way he installed a few tree stake bands (they were splitting our trees apart). Final product is great!

David identified a valve leak that was the root cause of the leaky sprinkler heads. He is kind and courteous, and readily available to come and fix our sprinkler system.

Before David's landscaping

Very happy with choosing David's landscaping he did an amazing job very friendly and also keeps his word and very responsive I will definitely be hiring him again soon

We hired David to design and install sod, concrete and a retaining wall in our back yard. He was pleasant to talk to and sounded positive that the work will be done well and within our time frame. Here are the issues we had with him: 1. He didn't show up when he said he would, on some days he didn't show up at all. Initially he stated that he would work on our yard on Friday, Saturday and Sunday but when he didn't show up on the first 2 Sundays we asked him and he said he actually was off that day. I wish he would have been honest about it given that most days he came in at noon, did a few hours of work then left. 2. He didn't put a drainage system in our entire backyard, so when the project was done and the sprinklers were on our yard started flooding. We had to dig a small trench for water to flow through. It took 2 weeks for him to come back and 'fix' the problem. We insisted that he put in a French drain, which he did after much back and forth. 3. The sod was not properly installed, the ground underneath is uneven and when it rains it's a muddy mess. The sod is very superficial, there's hardly anything for the grass to hold on to. We will have to eventually have it all pulled out and redone with proper drainage. We are very reasonable and we really wanted to like his work. I would not recommend David's landscaping for any big jobs. His price might be lower than most but the quality of work was not good at all. Please see pictures below.

Very responsive and worked extremely hard. We had several overgrown trees and bushes trimmed back. He also edged and mowed our lawn.

Our backyard was a clay bound mess. If it rained during the winter, sorrel and other weeds would…read morecome out in the spring and it would become a hay field filled with knee high weeds. By the time the warm weather came around, our hardy weeds would wear down to a brown dust on top of packed clay soil. We might have tried parking cars on the hard pack. It was a hot dusty mess. When the rain came, one day of rain could turn the hard pack into a morass of sticky gooey mud which was hard to clean off the feet, and hard to clean off the dog. Our backyard was unusable about 3/4 of the year. Finally, we had a couple of slopes in the backyard that were a challenge to know what to do with...it was not an easy place, full of work. The best thing (among many) is that Steve is knowledgeable about plants, how they respond to the weather, and where they will grow. He is also willing to work with you, listen to you, incorporate your ideas, convictions, wishes and desires for the planning of your landscape. I do believe Steve was tired of seeing our number on his caller ID when we called, but he always got back to us, answered our questions and made adjustments as he went. We were definitely heard in our wishes. LIving Earth Gardens handled our soil construction (where they turned it from clingy, muddy cement to soil that would grow stuff) They cleared brush, the planted trees, fruit trees, and put in a drip system to help us water it all. From start to finish they had the tools and know how. They also put in some stairs to make the slope navigable. You will find the whole staff energetic, positive and conscientious. We are pleased with our yard and the effort that was made to get us there.

Stephen is truly a master at his craft. We've loved his work and designs so much, we've now done…read moretwo yards with him! We specifically enjoyed Stephen's approach because it was so "design" minded, compared to other landscaping companies that want you to have your own plan/design in mind- Stephen really takes the time to think through what you want, translate what you're looking for, and put it into a design that really works both aesthetically and functionally. He didn't hesitate to let us know when something we said we wanted, actually didn't match up with our goals - I appreciated the honesty and transparency.

D Garcia Landscaping completed a large fence project for us and we are extremely happy with the…read moreresults! This was a technically challenging project involving a steep hill and very mature redwood roots. Standout qualities of this company are: 1. Ease of quoting process Before coming out in person, they were able to give us a ballpark price based on dimensions, fence type, and site images. This allowed me to decide whether to move forward and I thought this was really respectful of my time. Then, Dago, the owner, came for the site visit and to discuss details. 2. No bait and switch In ironing out the details, there was some miscommunication about whether staining was included. Dago was able to meet us halfway with the price increase. This honest business style continued throughout the project and no change orders or unexpected price increases happened. 3. Detail oriented Throughout the project, we discussed details such as fence posts placement relative to tree roots, post height, etc. Dago was both available in person and by email via his assistant Maria. It was also nice to have responses confirmed in writing so that things were clear and there would be no bait and switch. 4. Personality Dago is a really nice person and I enjoy speaking with his about his geriatric dogs, etc. This also helped me not feel anxious about the project, because I felt that I could trust him. For this fence, we received multiple quotes. Two companies were in the $9-10K range, another was around $12K, and an outlier was above $20K. Dago's price was the lowest quote (with minute differences in material) and we are very glad we went with him!

Dago and his crew did an outstanding job. It was a big project that included a full hardscape demo,…read morean elevation change, installing a new wall and pavers (around several curves that required meticulous stone cutting to make the pieces fit seamlessly), and replacing underground piping. Not only did his pricing beat the competition, but he also completed the job in two weeks, and I couldn't be happier about it. I am thrilled to give this well-deserved review because if you're reading this, you will certainly be in the great hands of talented and seasoned professionals. Dago, María, and the whole team, thank you so much!

The Experience: Getting a Quote: Enrique was quick to respond on Yelp and was prompt in arriving to give me a quote. He walked the front and back yard with us and we agreed on the plan and price. An initial big cleanup and then twice a month maintenance. The Work: He showed up on time and did hours of work to tackle the big job of taking down the weeds and overgrown bushes and trees. He remembered everything that needed to be done from our initial quote conversation. He even helped me understand why parts of my grass refused to grow. I asked him about a large tree in our front yard and he helped me understand what needed to be done and that it would be a separate quote. Understandable because it would be a big job. He will be back in two weeks to finalize and clean up the rest of the weeds and other normal maintenance. The Quality: In the past, I've had tried about 3-4 different gardeners. While very nice people, always left me feeling like I had to keep calling things out or they were in and out as quickly as possible. It was easy to communicate with Enrique both in person in via text. He explained the process of getting the weeds out. He also understood that because we have pets, prefer a less toxic way to treat our weeds in areas our dog plays in. After the initial clean up we actually want to look at our yard again to enjoy these lovely Benicia days and evenings. I'm very happy with Enrique and am breathing a sigh of relief for a gardener that I can rely on and trust with our yard. Thanks Enrique!
