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

The job was completed satisfactorily.

My wife and I have a new-build that required additional landscaping of our backyard. We eventually decided to go with California Outdoor Living after reading all their positive reviews on yelp. In addition their quote was very competitive if not the best when looking at other contractors. We already had a design in mind for JC which made the process very quick. Although there was some misunderstanding with the design and drains throughout the process, JC was always responsive with his texts and quick to make adjustments. The moment we got our design approved by our HOA, the construction happened VERY FAST. We emailed California Outdoor living on a Wednesday evening of our approval. The very next day (Thursday), JC arrived to go over the outline. I do appreciate how fast things were done, but it was almost to a fault at times. They were ready to go by the next day but my wife and I didn't feel like we had discussed the plan and execution thoroughly enough. On Friday the construction workers were already digging out our backyard. They spoke only Spanish so communication was very difficult to ensure if our plan was executed appropriately. By Saturday all of the pavers were laid out. Construction was incredibly fast but because of that some details were lost in translation. We discussed with JC that we wanted an 11x14 ft paver island. However the final dimensions was 12.5 x 12.5 feet. We also wanted all the walls of our backyard to be lined with turf. However the paver border ran too close to one of the walls, that putting turf did not make sense. They only left 1 inch between the wall and the paver (see attached image). We appreciate how fast the work was done. The overall work was great BUT not exactly what we wanted. We felt rushed with the whole construction process. However everything was done in less than a week which was incredible! In addition, once the turf was laid out JC noted that window reflections from both our neighbors and our own windows would cause damage to the turf. He informed us this can happen sometimes. Going back to rushing things and not being thorough, we wished JC took the time to look at our backyard and factor in this possibility. If we had known the reflections could damage this area we would have changed our turf design. At the end of the day they are just executing our design, but it's these minor things that left us feeling like our backyard could have been better. However we are still very thrilled with the overall speed and communication done throughout the process! Would still recommend this company. But these small critiques are definitely something to keep in mind for future clients.

The side yard drainage issue I had is no more! That alone was worth a lot to me. The only hang up was the patio cover.

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. The contract was written with the amount of detail that the customer appreciates, especially with a project that involves so many elements. 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!

We got quotes from 3 highly rated Orange County landscaping companies, and learned in the process that our home did not have an irrigation line setup. These were a summary of the different companies responses: Company 1 (Most expensive estimate): "Getting water will be tough, I will build you a quote in 2 DAYS." Company 2 (Second most expensive estimate): "We can't get water, you will have to water them yourself." Hillside Pavers (Best value estimate): "We will figure it out. Here's the estimate and AI visual of the hedges in your backyard. We can start first thing on Monday and be done in 2 days." Hillside Pavers, specifically Project Manager/Designer Heather, her crew, and Administrator Valentina, is the team you want to work with. There's the basic pluses of a very well-valued estimate and a beautiful job done, and then there's the extended pluses that turn a project into an experience.  Heather on the design/project side and Valentina on the administrative/finances side listened to our project's needs, not only during the estimate's beginning stages, but throughout the project, all the way through to the final payment method. Both Heather and Valentina have genuine hearts, and as a team were very willing and extremely kind to accommodate our needs throughout the entire experience. As a pregnant stay at home mom with a young son, I felt more than comfortable and taken care of, and happy to be working with other women in this field as other quotes I had gotten were from male dominant companies that showed different in their correspondence. A true gem of a team and company. I couldn't recommend this company and team more. Big thanks!
