They showed up on time, brought the right equipment, and got the digging and hauling done quickly without tearing up the surrounding area. The grading came out clean and level, which made the rest of my project way easier. Communication was straightforward, pricing was great, and they were flexible about hauling the soil to private land instead of charging dump fees. No shortcuts, no surprises--just solid work. Would definitely hire them again.

I met Christian and Marco and the pride they had in their work, their ability to listen to my needs( which btw changed multiple times) and go way beyond what we had agreed upon is the reason I'm here posting this review.

My husband explained what we wanted and as it turned out Jose had time to do our yard within a day. He brought a full crew and they were cheerful and worked with purpose to remove old dead lawn, Install some new sprinkler system, conditioned the ground and the new dirt they brought, and the next day came back to finish the job. The next day they laid sod which was beautiful thick green and lush. The front and backyard now are beautiful with expanses of green we haven't had here for years since the drought killed our lawns. Jose and the crew did a marvelous job, we haven't stopped smiling! We absolutely recommend Bay Area Plus Landscaping because we are so happy with their work.

My husband and I moved to the Hollister area about a year ago, and ever since, we've been eager to transform our backyard, which was just a patch of dirt when we arrived. As a first-time homeowner, I felt completely overwhelmed and unsure where to begin, especially when it came to choosing the right contractor. After getting some neighborhood recommendations for New Leaf, we decided to reach out. (Just to note, we had already reached out to several local contractors, but none gave us the confidence to move forward. We always had lingering doubts--whether it was about pricing, professionalism, or trustworthiness.) Javier, the owner, quickly arranged an in-person visit to check out our yard. He shared timelines, and pricing possibilities with us. He also collaborates with a landscape designer, Charlene Brum (www.brumlandscape.design.com). Working with Charlene was such a smooth and stress-free experience (everything I needed!). She created CAD plans to scale, which really eased my worries, confusion and all the unknown. Charlene was incredibly patient, clear in her communication, and so friendly. It honestly felt like talking to a friend who was just as excited as I was to help with my yard. Once the work started, there was no stopping the team! Javier has a fantastic crew that works hard and cohesively. Fernando, who led our project onsite, was very respectful and always took the time to make sure I understood his answers whenever I had questions. It was also heartwarming to see Fernando and crew mentoring a young adult on the team, teaching him about the trade and safety. My husband and I were consistently impressed with the daily progress, especially since some of my neighbors had shared less-than-ideal experiences with their own yard projects. I'm so relieved to say that our experience was nothing like that--ours was smooth! After about three weeks of hard work, the crew finished, and we absolutely love our new backyard and are excited to add our future shed and dog area. Our German Shepherd loves the evolved space too! Thank you, Javier, for delivering such great work and quality!

We had a sub-par experience with Outscape. The owner, Argel, blames everything on you. He first…read moresaid he would do outdoor kitchen, putting green and travertine extension for our backyard. We signed the contract and waited a bit for the work to start (primarily on us as we take long to select our finished materials, that I understand). Once work started, his guys are very nice and did the job well. We did take some time to select tiles so his crew moved on but I waited patiently for him to give me dates. However, dealing with Argel was a nightmare. He would blame us for pretty much anything that didn't go right. After the job started he denied doing putting green saying my backyard travertine slope might lead to water collection issues. He should check that before bidding on a project and writing in contract, not in the middle once contract has been signed. Guess what, I hired a professional putting green install company and they did it beautifully without any problem. In a way it's good as it looks like he's not experienced in this anyway so not sure how good a job they would have done. But it was additional last minute work for me. He ended up not doing the travertine extension either. I had enough of him so I don't want to give him any more business. So in the end out of 3 things, he ended up only doing one, and that too was not a pleasure to deal with. I would strongly recommend to stay away from this company.

The job was completed in a fraction of the time I expected and quality of the work without fault. Tony was actively involved and listened and responded carefully to any of my questions.
