Name says it all! If you want to have to go to court to get you money back from being taken by this dishonest, incompetent clown this is the company for you! If you feel our Veterans are worth being lied to, disrespected this is the clown for you. I have all court papers if you'd like to Look at it. Took him to years to pay us 100% back per preferred by the court and only after the state of Calif and sheriffs got involved . read more

Ryan and his team were very professional from start to finish. Ryan is very knowledgeable and helpful with design. And they get the work done quickly and efficiently. We love our backyard and can't wait to have him do more work to beautify our landscaping. I highly recommend Down And Dirty Landscaping. read more

I would strongly advise against using Down and Dirty Landscaping. We had nothing but problems from start to finish. First off, Ryan Haro, the owner, was rude and condescending every time we tried to communicate with him. It's clear he doesn't listen to his clients--he has his own agenda and does whatever he wants, regardless of what's been agreed upon. To make matters worse, Ryan and his crew caused significant damage to our property. They broke our concrete because of their negligence and the heavy machinery they used without regard for the surrounding area. His workers also damaged our gate, fence, and other parts of our concrete driveway. We had to keep calling them out to fix things that shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. Ryan also doesn't know how to properly handle drainage issues, which led to more complications with the project. On top of that, Ryan is extremely disorganized. He constantly changes the game plan every day, so we never knew what to expect. It felt like he was 5% present, and the lack of consistency made everything worse. If you value your property and want a smooth, professional experience, do yourself a favor and find someone else. Ryan and his crew will only leave you frustrated, with more damage than when they started. read more

Ryan and his team were nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL. He understood our vision for our backyard and he delivered! We are so in love with the space. Ryan is reliable, thorough and gets the job done fast! Really appreciate him and definitely would recommend to everyone. read more

Ryan and his crew made our concept of a backyard oasis into a reality. His hard working crew showed up on time every day until the job was completed. Ryan is very knowledgeable about what to plant in our area and the result is beautiful. We had pavers installed and they are perfect. We are very happy with the end result and highly recommend Down and Dirty Landscaping. read more

Sadly as much as I would like to, do NOT use this business for your landscaping needs unless you want broken promises, C- work, cement with 10 foot crack, issues with drains, lack of follow through. I paid in full for a project in our back yard, was quoted 3-5 weeks, paid in early December and job was recently finished last week of March. When I say completed that's with plenty of issues in left to deal with as owner takes no ownership. "He's busy" "he warned me" I have everything in writing and kept a trail of all the broken promises. His way of "making it right" doing a free seal over the cement, the one with 10 foot crack in it that he "warned me of" but never did. He did suggest pavers, which were double the price. But to have a 10 foot crack with in 5 weeks of install is a joke. All of my drainage is currently clogged, he states not his fault, but in the only house with this issue due to work he did. I'm going to have to now pay someone else to come fix it, still have a broken sprinkler, multiple drip lines still not working, and more. Sadly though I have him months to make things right he never did! Zero ownership, zero compassion, zero responsibility. Horrible follow through as was mislead countless times he was showing up to fix things. Both my neighbors got work done by other business, paid EXACLTY what I paid, and there jobs are nicer, finished and NO ISSUES! Ryan is very rude and would not suggest to use his business for anyone. read more

I *highly* recommend Ryan and his crew. When we first started the project, Ryan came out to our house and designed something far beyond anything that we thought was possible. Once the project kicked off his team worked tirelessly to complete the project. They were never late and, in fact, were usually early. We are in love with the finished product and now instead of having a backyard that we're embarrassed by, we now love hanging out by our fire table (which Ryan also recommended). The cottage-like feel is exactly what we envisioned and now we feel as if we have an entire additional room. Our neighbors were so impressed that they hired Ryan on the spot to do some work for them as well. read more

We often hear the saying "you get what you pay for" in a negative way....I'd like to say that we got what we paid for and it was worth every penny! Ryan worked with me over a couple of months to get my vision figured out and a quote that was also inline with my expectations. Ryan and his team showed up everyday - on time. They were professional and showed a ton of pride in their work. The end product was EXACTLY what I envisioned! We will definitely use them again for any landscaping projects. Our yard was dead grass and weeds... read more

Ryan and his crew did an amazing job with our front/side/backyard. They worked very hard each day. Ryan has an great mind for detail and initially asked a ton of great questions before providing a quote for the work. He considered many things that previous contractors did not inquire about. We greatly appreciated his experience and attention to detail. The pavers, pergola, sod, plants, drainage, and material selection turned out amazing! As you can see from the before and after photos it turned out fantastic. We are very pleased and highly recommend Down and Dirty Landscaping. read more

We bought our home about 10 years ago and we really never did anything to up grade the back yard or fix issues from the previous owners. We reached out to several contractors and settled on Ryan because of his down to earth manner, attention to detail, and competitive quote.

When we had our first meeting, he told me they could get the work done in 1 week. I was reluctant to believe him, but he and the team got it done! I was amazed and elated. I HIGHLY recommend Down and Dirty Landscaping. Ryan Haro will not disappoint. Many thanks to him and his team. I have included pictures of before and after. Enjoy! read more

Ryan and his crew did a fantastic job on installing a new drought tolerant lawn in my front yard. He is very knowledgeable and his quote was fair and accurate. He has a great attention to detail and he and his team are very hard working. He and his crew cleaned up the job site afterward and did the job in less time than originally quoted. Also worth noting: he answered the phone on the first ring, came out right away, quoted and started and finished the job the next day! read more

I can not say enough great things about Down and Dirty Landscaping! Ryan came in and transformed our brand new homes dirt backyard into an awesome, drought resistant oasis. He did a raised garden, pavers, and pad for our spa and a gorgeous pavers pad with bench for our new fire pit. Everything is lit up beautifully at night. During the day our yard is a great place to sit with a cup of coffee or have a large gathering of friends. Ryan did what we hired him to do! He has integrity on his jobs and does not just tear up your yard and leave you sitting, as many contractors will do. If he has to pull off for a day he will let you know. Once they get started it is magical how quickly they transform your yard! Ryan has the most respectful and hard working group of workers I have ever seen (my background is construction based contracts), so I know first hand how great it is to find a company with integrity. The one bit of advice I can give the consumer is to do your homework ahead of breaking ground. Get your plant choices written down and order your spa and fire pit as soon as work begins. Things like spas and fire pits take many weeks to arrive and vendors do not have them in stock. If you are choosey about plants and trees, I'd take the time to go to a nursery and write down exactly what you want. Ryan can get most anything! In conclusion, and work you have on your home is going to be stressful and sometimes things go awry, that said have a drink and let Ryan handle it... He will go the extra mile to see to it that you are happy!!! We are!!! read more

Ryan and his crew worked on a project for us involving our font and back yard. He arrived promptly to give us an estimate and spent quite a lot of time with us going through what we wanted and giving us suggestions and ideas, which was great. He also gave us a lot of leveled options and pricing, which worked for us as we were able to discuss what we really wanted and what we could do later. We had a few contractors come by to give estimates and Ryan was the only one that really took the time to go through everything in depth and detail. His crew is awesome and always came on time and cleaned up afterwards. Ryan was really responsive when I asked questions (a lot of them) and was very considerate of what we wanted for our yard. He finished the project pretty quickly and we are happy with the outcome. We had some issues after the work was done, but Ryan was very responsive and came back to resolve all of them. Would definitely recommend Ryan and his crew and would call him again if we needed to get something else done! read more

Ryan & his crew did an amazing job landscaping our backyard! They installed an irrigation system, laid drought tolerant sod (Kentucky bluegrass), planted beautiful drought tolerant plants, installed a border and laid mulch. They did this all in 3 days; their timing was impeccable! The job was done at a fair price. Ryan is very knowledgeable in his work and he's professional & friendly. He plans to follow up in a few weeks to see how the lawn has attached & give it it's first mow. I give them my highest recommendation! We plan to use them again for work on our front yard. Thank you Down & Dirty Landscape for your hard work!! read more

It just disturbing when the owner of such a highly rated company drives recklessly around the small neighborhoods. He is currently working in a nearby neighborhood and doesn't care that people are walking their dogs or kids playing outside in their bikes. He was such a disrespectful person when confronted. You re a guest in our neighborhood. Be kind and polite. You almost hit my vehicle a few times running the stop signs and not paying attention. This truly unacceptable. read more

Watch your money. Took my money and never did the job. Did not know how to do the job. Hired and paid in full to put a cement patio for a veterans group. Had to take him to court and won, had to go back two more times because he did not pay the court order. One comment to the judge was he was tired of Veterans wanting everything for free. I don't consider $16k "free" Sheriff's we're over him and took money out of his bank account but took two years. Now I see he's suspended again for being unlawful. read more

Ryan and his crew transformed my Mother's front yard in Campbell in only 2 days.

He's reliable, reasonable and we'd hire him again! read more

I have worked with Ryan at D@D for two projects now in our yard. Both projects he came out within a day or two and provided a fair estimate on the spot. We were able to schedule the work within a reasonable time of approval. His crew arrived first thing in the morning both times and completed the project to perfection. I was very pleased with his work, crew, and pricing. He also cleaned the yard of all debris, washed down the deck and pavers and made sure it was in perfect condition when they left. I am also having him work on a third project for us. This project is a little bigger and he has been great working with us in our small budget. Suggesting different options to keep us in line and not pressuring us to spend more that we are comfortable with. Ryan and his crew are great. I would highly recommend them! read more

Ryan and his crew did an absolutely amazing job with our backyard and frontyard. We basically had an empty canvas and needed to add softscape. He helped us select our plants & trees, removed all the existing weeds, cleaned out the area, installed new lawn area and irrigation for all the softscape and laid down a good quality mulch all around. He also installed a small paver patio and did a great job getting the circular shape and paver pattern. He is very honest, knowledgeable and pays a lot of attention to detail. We are very pleased with his work. He will be coming back in a couple of weeks to check on the lawn. He always has helpful suggestions and advice for maintenance. Also, he is extremely responsive via text and calls and finished the job within specified time. His crew is also very hardworking and dedicated. We couldn't be more happier with his work. Thanks for a great job! read more

Ryan Haro and his team did a great job on our backyard! They transformed our backyard muck into a beautiful landscaped environment we can now enjoy. Had a recent large party and everything held up well. We developed a "ponding problem" and Ryan was there that same day. He and his team had to literally dig up the newly landscaped area and put in a drain system that we all were unaware it was needed. Afterwards the yard looked exceptional and you could not tell it had been displaced for the new drain. Ryan and his team were professional, honest and efficient. Took only 3 days for our beautiful transition. Thank you so much Ryan and team! read more

Before hiring their services, I made it very clear that I will not be interested in "nickel and dime" but would like to have the estimate of the project (total cost including labor and material). Ryan gave us the quote for the project, we agreed and we hired Down and Dirty Landscaping for our backyard landscaping project. Things changed after the first day and he started charging extra money for small things that were part of the project: 1. To provide support for a couple of our plants, he asked me to get two wooden poles (cost less than $5.00 in Home depot). 2. He had promised to show us the sample of tan bark and mini mulch before buying - but he directly bought the load of tan bark without showing the sample - which was not what we had expected. 3. I was asked to buy the new irrigation timer since my existing timer was short of 1 station. While connecting the wire to the timer, Ryan pushed the switch (to release the wire) hard and it broke. All I expected was an acknowledgement that he damaged it - not the entire cost of the brand new timer that I had purchased less than 24 hours ago. But Ryan shrugged it off telling me that the unit is still functional. 4. The wire for the timer was short by about 5 to 7 ft - he asked me to get that too. Disappointment again, but I ran to the hardware store and got that as well (cost $10) since the project was coming to an end. 5. Still, the connection to the timer did not work - so he decided to get the entire new wire next day (the other part of the existing wire was old and did not seem to be good). It was really very disappointing when he charged $31 for that wire. When I told him that it is not fair and it should be the part of the project cost, he threatened to rip the working connection apart if I do not pay. This was very rude and disappointing! 6. When I showed him a small patch where the lawn was not growing right. He told me that he would throw seeds in that patch for $5.00!! I disagreed with Ryan on almost every aspect and our experience was not pleasant. We were extremely disappointed by his approach and total lack of customer service. read more

Ryan and his team have been servicing our home for about 1 year; larger residential lot with lawn, shrubs, trees, irrigation. Over the course of the year they have provided consistent and quality work. They show up every week as scheduled and reach out at least a day in advance if there are any changes to the schedule. Payments are easy through Venmo. Ryan provides prompt responses to bid requests for additional projects; adding plants, removing section of lawn and replacing with mulch. Ryan promptly reply's to any questions or concerns we may have such as reducing sprinkler times if we find the grass area is constantly damp (we have 4 kids playing on it regularly). We have been very pleased with Ryan's professional and quality work! read more

We'd give Down and Dirty Landscaping a 10 star rating if it was available! Ryan and his crew are extremely professional, and they transformed our drought-neglected yard into a gorgeous entertainment oasis. We now spend so much family time in the backyard and feel it is an extension of our home. It is incredible seeing how hard-working and dedicated this team is! Ryan transformed our sketched vision into reality and provided valuable insights to improve the look of the yard. He cares deeply about customer satisfaction and is willing to make modifications to the plan to achieve perfection. Ryan built our massive pergola so strongly with supporting 45's, while never compromising style. It is simply beautiful to look at and is the focal point of the yard - especially at night when all the bistro lights are lit. On top of that, the pavers and retaining wall with exquisite wall cap lights are stunning. We appreciate Ryan's attention to detail and focus on a timely completion of the project. If you are looking for true craftsmanship, look no further! Hiring Ryan was a great decision, and we'd highly recommend Down and Dirty Landscaping. read more

We've been using Ryan and team for a few months now, and our yard looks as wonderful as when we bought the house, and we took that very seriously since the yard was one of our favorite features of this house yet my husband and I had no knowledge of how to maintain it and care for it. I've really appreciated Ryan's willingness to jump right on an issue and project immediately when I call or text him, as it's saved me a lot of worry and stress about when something was going to get fixed or how big of a problem something might become before it was addressed. I've dealt with dozens of vendors over the past few months as we attempted to fix things on the property, or tackle some projects, and Ryan has been one of the few that I haven't really had to oversee or worry that he wasn't doing something the way I wanted. That being said, he also doesn't work independently; he does communicate with me, listens to my questions or concerns, and is open to my feedback, so even though I'm a yard newbie, I feel involved in how it's being maintained. We've been using him for his higher level regular yard maintenance, as well as now have done a couple projects (redone our sprinklers, redone the bases of our multiple fruit trees with bender board/compost, cleaned up one corner of the yard), and we feel that our money has been well spent on all of these. We trust that our future projects landscaping and maintaining will also be fairly quoted and done well. It's refreshing to find a gardening company that can do basic maintenance and landscaping projects equally well, as that was a struggle when I first started my search. read more

The team from down and dirty landscaping took out 3 trees, several shrubs and many weeds from 2 areas, ground the stumps of the trees and took down a structure over the patio. The work was done in 2 days Including trimming the remaining overgrown plants. They did good work with major cleaning up but they left a lot of dead branches in the trees and stems and some stumps covered up by dirt in the yard and not ground out. They removed a crape myrtle I had requested they leave in place. I was told they would replace it but it has not been replaced. There were sharp brackets left from removing the patio structure. 3 stars because a lot of work was done but we are cleaning up after them. read more

Fantastic service all around. I called on a Friday afternoon and by Saturday afternoon I had a transformed front yard with lots of new plants, mulch, and adjustments to our sprinkler/drip system. Ryan's knowledge and experience is obvious and his communication skills are direct and superb - from initial contact, lots of questions and suggestions to determine my needs, informing of arrival times, followup, etc. His workers are diligent and represent themselves as a team (dressed similarly in safety vests). Highly recommended! read more

Great job by Ryan and his team to redo my landscape around the entire house. I did a major remodel on the house and my soil grading level no longer passed code. I contacted Ryan who gave me a very fair bid and his team proceeded to remove my old concrete patio and all walkways around the house. They replaced it with a beautiful new paver patio, new lawns in front and back, and a French Drain around the property to remove water to solve the previous grading issue. Ryan resolved any issue quickly and always answered questions right away. Very good communication. I would highly recommend his company. read more
