I recently worked with Jake Jo and the team at Echo Family Landscaping for a major backyard renovation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. They handled our entire project from start to finish, which included installing new pavers, turf, and an irrigation system. The quality of their work is fantastic, and the finished yard looks absolutely beautiful--exactly like the design photos we had hoped for. As with any large landscaping project, there were a couple of minor issues that popped up along the way, but Jake was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was taken care of very quickly without any hassle. Overall, I am extremely happy with how the yard turned out. If you're looking for a reliable team in the Irvine area that does high-quality work and stands behind it, I highly recommend Jake and Echo Family Landscaping.

Jake and his crew completed a rather large project on our new construction home that took approximately 10 months (pool , spa, firepit, outdoor kitchen, custom pergola, front, back and side yards, water features, landscaping, etc...etc.., but it was well worth the time and cost. We purchased a home in a new development, so we vetted many different companies to build all the features we wanted on an empty canvas (ie: dirt lot). Our budget was around $290-$360k. We got around 6 bids, which we narrowed down to 3. Out of the 3, Jake gave us the most confidence in his knowledge and eye for details. We visited some of his previous projects and were thoroughly impressed. A lot of our neighbors used competitors that were cheaper, but when we saw their completed projects, you could see a lot of corners that were cut and the shoddy quality. Some look down right terrible. The majority were unhappy with the work provided by those companies. The crews were constantly changing on the same projects (subbed out to 3rd party) and there was no post-completion support. I know that there have been lawsuits filed on some of the projects. Our home, on the otherhand, has been the highlight of our neighborhood and we have people constantly taking pictures and asking for details on Jake. Not just because of the design itself, but also because of his hardworking crew. We've been beyond happy with Jake and his team and love showing off our new outdoor space. Echo was at the top end of our budget, but the quality is A+++ and 100% worth it. He didn't cut any corners and his crew pulled 10-12 hour days, 6 days a week, for 10 months. Best thing is that Jake personally checked the quality of the work on a regular basis. If anything was off by a tiny bit, Jake redid it to make it perfect. I consider myself to be detail oriented, almost to the point of being unbearable, but I never had to worry about the work being done because of the QC by Jake. This in itself was worth it. The crew was consistently the same people and HIGHLY skilled. Some of the best work I'd seen. Ricardo was our project lead and so talented and friendly. All the team was very respectful and thoughtful. They cleaned up after every day and never blasted music or talked loudly or cursed. (Which was very important to me because my neighbor and I work from home). They were kind to my wife, kids, and neighbors as well. My parents also hired Echo to fix various issues around their yard and pool and had the same experiences we did with very proficient and highly skilled crew members that worked hard. Also, the small issues we had after completion were addressed immediately. Most contractors rarely come back after you've finished paying them, but Jake really values his clients and takes pride in making sure they're taken care of before, during, and most importantly, after the project is done. There are tons of companies out there, but nobody really does it like Echo and I HIGHLY recommend them. It's worth the investment, not just financially, but also the time and memories you will have enjoying the beautiful space and features.

I am more than pleased with the remodel of my front yard with Jake Jo and Echo Family Landscaping. The remodel went smoothly and was completed on time. Jake helped me to choose the best tile and plants that look perfect for my yard. My favorite part of the remodel is the floating step with the light underneath it. His workers were very kind and worked diligently to complete the job on time. I would definitely recommend Jake Jo with Echo Family Landscaping to anyone planning to remodel their yards.

Echo Homes Inc is an outstanding landscaping company, and Jake its owner is honest and conscientious. I loved the fact that Jake was able to share lots of pictures from previous jobs, making it easy for me to select elements to include in my own backyard. Jake was very responsive to my questions and feedback. He has a good team of hardworking workers who did their jobs with quality and attention to detail. There were no gaps in the construction, and his people would come every day (except Sunday) and work long hours from 7:30 am till past sunset. Overall, I would highly recommend Echo Homes Inc and Jake himself.

Remodeled Backyard.

We requested a quote for a remodel for our backyard. Had I known, I would have hired Jake for design services and help with submission to HOA. I gave potential contractors my completed plans. Jake was the only contractor to come with an estimate in hand. He was extremely honest and fair. We chose our final pavers and they were special order so we were delayed. We never felt rushed or out of the loop. Jake was always willing to have a conversation around our many questions. His staff was extremely friendly and hard working. Always pleasant and never rude. Our backyard exceeded our expectations! Stop looking and just book with Echo Family Landscaping.

Wonderful service from Jake and his team! Would definitely recommend him for landscaping projects in OC. They finished everything within 2 weeks on time and on budget as promised.

Jake is the best! and professional! His crew members are amazingly careful, thoughtful, and considerate. Everyone attends to details and keeps the work area organized. Jake is quick to respond, and he spent time to present his ideas and plants selections. Jake completed my project ON TIME. I worked with contractors for 40 years, and Jake is the BEST. 5+stars for Jake.

Jake and team renovated our whole backyard - basically a full gut out of all trees/plants/roots/concrete down to dirt. Jake was very experienced, communicative, and responsive to all of our questions. He gave great recommendations throughout. The entire process from the initial consultation, design/quote, demo, construction, and completion of the project was smooth. He is very flexible and open to changes that come up due to unforseen circumstances on site or our change of mind on minor select elements of the plan. We are very happy with the final results.

New concrete, lighting an plants.

I recently hired Echo Family Landscaping for a landscape and hardscape project (front and backyard), and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the start, Jake (the owner) was incredibly responsive and collaborative, taking the time to understand our vision and offering valuable suggestions. The project was completed on time and within the budget, which we really appreciated. His team was professional, hardworking, and respectful throughout the entire process. They paid attention to every detail, and the quality of their work was outstanding. I would highly recommend Echo Family Landscaping for any future projects and look forward to working with them again! Work completed: Demo of concrete, existing drainage, irrigation, trees, plants and dirt. Installed all new drainage, irrigation, lighting, new concrete, masonry brick work and brick courtyard. Installation of all new plants, planters, soil, and herb garden.

This is the best experience I have had with a landscape company. Jake and his crew are very professional, responsible and honest. During the last 4 years we had been looking to redo our backyard. We have had some really bad experiences with multiple companies in the area and we almost gave us. We decided to try it one more time and reached out to a four companies around the Irvine area. One of those companies was Echo Family Landscaping, owned by Jake. Jake recommended us some backyard designers to design our backyard, regardless if we choose him or not. We ended up going with Fred. Fred is excellent and made multiple drafts for us to pick and choose and change things. Highly recommend Fred! After the final draft we reached out to once again to each of the companies for a final quote. Based on our interactions with Jake plus his work seen here on Yelp, we went with him. Jake helped us get HOA approvals and gave us a start and end rate of the project. Jake and crew met the deadline, completing the project in 2.5 months. Throughout the process Jake gave us recommendations based on his experience on things we should change from the design. He has a keen eye for design. A lot of neighbors really like our backyard and are surprised that the project was done so fast. I highly recommend Echo Family Landscaping. If you're looking for a hassle free, honest and dependable and responsible company. Posting some videos I took during construction and after photos so you can get an idea of the work done.

I love my new yard and patio. Echo family did an amazing job on my front yard. I think they have the hardest working crew I have seen. They showed up on time everyday and worked hard all day. They finished a day early and the results are beautiful. I had a front yard full of dead grass, now I have a beautiful patio with lovely landscape. I would recommend Echo Family without hesitation

Absolutely not. I wanted something low maintenance, low water, and something that still added curb appeal to our home. After researching a lot of landscaping companies, I finally came across Growscapes OC. Joe came out to give us an estimate, and while I was speaking with him I could tell he had a vision for our redesigned lawn. I relied a lot on his expertise because I wasn't 100% sure what I even wanted. Soon I had a quote (which seemed reasonable enough to me), and a mockup to give us an idea of what the new space could look like. Soon the project began. The crew was courteous and professional. Everything was well communicated. After 5 days our new front yard came to life - from dead grass to desert garden. Immediately we were getting compliments from our neighbors. The house now looks so much more inviting because of Growscapes OC. Thanks Joe and your team!

They took total advantage because we're elderly and know nothing about plants. We just took out the $3000.00 worth of shit They sold us. 1) they sold us tropical even though I said they wouldn't work because our backyard gets too much direct sun and heat. Anthony assured me that didn't matter. All that mattered was water. They ALL died within a few months 2) I was told the drip system they installed could be adjusted for each plant to get more or less water. Not true 3) I explained the dirt they were planting in was old and depleted. I was told the dirt didn't matter. They did not treat the dirt or even fertilize what they planted. 4) the drip system they put in had a control that it has a 300 page online manual. Even their installer didn't know how to set it up and was unable to explain it to me. YET he told me it needed to be updated every 6 months when we changed the batteries. Of course we were not told about this requirement until instalation was completed. As I said earlier we are elderly! I asked for a simpler timer and they said there was no option. 5) they are NOT woman owned and operated. Yes, the scamming husband put the company in his wife's name for tax purposes but she CLEARLY knows nothing about plants or landscaping. When I had them come out to see the dead plants she never spoke. Her husband and Anthony did all the arguing and yelling and put all the blame on us. I have never experienced such lack of professionalism in any service industry. All I asked for, and still feel we are entitled to, is a refund. The dead plants have been removed, the inadequate drip system has been removed, and we are starting over. I was duped by a morally bankrupt company. Don't be fooled by the fake reviews on their web page! They have no place to leave a review on their web page and they aren't here so where did those reviews come from?? THEY ARE SCAMMERS! BE WARNED!

Once the design was agreed upon, we were given a price and a start date. We felt so comfortable with Bryan and his staff that we didn't even explore other bids once we had the design (which the customer owns) in place. Bryan, the owner, is very patient and knowledgeable and gives you the feeling that all the details will be taken care of.

We especially liked working with Jonathan, our project manager, who always kept us informed and responded to our inquiries in a timely manner.

We started with a Zoom consultation where I was able to walk him through the property and the scope of the project. Bryan is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to, making the whole process seamless. ​What stood out most was his professionalism and transparency. Even when our Zoom connection dropped, he called me immediately to finish the conversation without missing a beat. He was also very honest about the value of different tree sizes, guiding me toward the right functional solution rather than just pushing the most expensive option. It's rare to find that level of integrity!

To be honest, it really restored my faith in landscaping contractors. I submitted an online request for a quote and the next day Mike emailed me requesting pictures of what our project wanted to include. Originally we just wanted to pull out our front yard plants and redo just the front but there is a $5000 project minimum. After deciding to redo our turf and also include our backyard, Mike came out the next week for a free in person consultation and got me a detailed quote within 2 days. The turnaround time for everything was just amazing, I've never seen anything like it. Our lot is about 3615 sq ft to give a reference point. Our project included: all the labor to demolish/uproot all of our plants including a very large 20 year old tree in the backyard + all the roots (completed in 2-3 days), redid our front and backyard turf (completed in 2 days by Backyard Golf Company), added a veneer stone and cap on our retaining wall (1 week) and replanted all our plants/installed a drip sprinkler system/installed lighting front and backyard (1 week). We have an HOA and Mike had a complete detailed plan and diagram ready for us within 3-5 days. Once HOA got back to us, the project was started within a week and finished in the estimated time frame. Workers came promptly at 8 AM and they were actively working all day not just sitting around. Very respectful, even blowing all the dust at the end of the day to keep the area clean, no garbage left anywhere. The entire project was $30,000 and there weren't any surprise or unexpected costs. Invoices are sent every week on a reasonable schedule and I just loved our experience. I'd recommend Seabreeze to anyone wanting to do their hardscape landscaping in a heartbeat!
