Don't waste your time with Saul Alvarez and Nature Breeze Landscaping. I contacted Saul because a…read moreneighbor recommended him. He came to our place and toured our site. He tried to do a bit of upselling, which was not necessarily surprising. Anyway, he left and promised to send a proposal/estimate within a week. I work in the design industry so I understand that proposals can often take a bit longer than initially projected. After my first follow up, I was promised a proposal after he completed a couple others. I patiently waited and either called or texted about every three weeks and was ghosted. If the project was too small or he was too busy, the HONEST thing to do would have been forthright and responded that he was either too busy or not interested. This is a poor business practice and he strung us out all summer. Don't waste your time with Nature Breeze Landscaping.

The planning phase was fun to see what could be done and Saul helped explain all the details. He helped us understand all the options. He was clear, professional, and timely. His crew was amazing and extremely professional. They were polite, hard working, and cleaned up after each days work. Saul regularly helped his crew and his presence was appreciated. He clearly takes pride and ownership of the work being done. We were excited to see the progress each day and they finished our project on time. Saul was in constant communication with us during the project. Honestly, Saul's work was beyond our expectations and he really is an artist. We had an idea of what we wanted, but Saul made it so much better than we could have ever expected!! Our backyard is an oasis now and we love being there. Before it was a soggy mud/grass mess and now it is a paradise. Saul has even checked in with us after project completion to make sure we are happy...and we are very happy. Thank you Saul and thank you to your team! We are so lucky to have met you and hired you. Now our neighbors are hiring him and asking to come and see our backyard.

After our new Golden Retriever puppy did a number on our beautifully landscaped backyard winter…read more2024, digging holes and tracking in mud on the daily, we made a desperate decision to lay wood chips everywhere! MISTAKE. BIG MISTAKE. HUGE. Fast forward 8 months we finally decided turf would be the way to go. We brought in 3 separate turf companies to assess our situation and give us an estimate. Allen at Grassland was hands down the most professional and knowledgable explaining the different product samples, answering our deluge of questions and assuring us the best possible product and plan to defend against the dog! Although the quote wasn't the least expensive of the three - we had all the confidence that Grassland offered a quality product and top notch service. We weren't wrong! Although our job was delayed by a few weeks due to weather when the crew arrived I was totally impressed how thoroughly they cleared the yard of the dreaded wood chips and prepped for turf. I had several questions and even a few changes from the original bid and Darwin (the lead) and Edson (the supervisor) and Allen (by phone) listened to and adjusted the plan with every request! After each days' work the crew swept and cleaned up the yard and walkways leaving everything in tip top shape. We were blessed with a break in the rain on day 4 (they had prepped days 1-3 during wind and rain and just the grossest conditions but to lay the turf they needed a dry day to ensure the best install. I appreciated the attention to detail!) I was again, so impressed watching the crew carefully drive in the nails every few inches and create zippered seams for a flawless finish. They even agreed to dispose of the wood chips (that WE had originally said WE would remove) when we decided to add that service in the 11th hour. They were so accommodating and friendly and really aimed to please. I cannot say enough good things about Grassland's sales reps, supervisors and extremely hard workers. I agree with many of the reviews on here... we wish we would've gotten turf sooner! It looks absolutely beautiful. We are proud of our yard again and... so far so good with the dog! She loves it and hasn't tried to dig once! I think she appreciates it as much as we do. Thank you, Grassland!

It's clean, seamless, and clearly installed by people who take real pride in their craft. If you're considering turf, this is the company to call.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Top Dog Turf or use their services again at my next home. No more muddy dog run for me! The team even went above and beyond by using a leaf blower to clean up leaves that had blown into the area behind my air conditioner, leaving everything in better condition than when they arrived.

Before work began, Jose responded promptly to my requests for changes in design, gave detailed drawings &estimates PRICE - it was a very fair price, and lower than the other bid I got for a simple rectangular design DESIGN - my requirements were a bigger patio that covers up the swamp. Jose came up with a plan that has curves to fit in well with the curves in my existing landscape, plus the swamp is gone! He gave me advice on which sizes of pavers would work well in the design. PROFESSIONALISM - every day the team was on time and left the area cleaned up. They laid and re-laid pavers until they were satisfied with the look. They spent a lot of time leveling and fixing places where water pooled on my lawn/old patio. They improved the downspout drains and crawlspace vents. Call them for your project, you'll be glad you did!

After 2 years living in our Issaquah rambler, we were tired of our grubby back yard. With a very…read moresloping hillside slumping into it, the constant roll of rocks, and puddling of runoff made the space not very enjoyable. Our small deck, and a big dirt patch was also not a clean or functional space for us or our dog - so it was time for a change. Once we set our minds to investing in a renovation, I met with 7 (yes 7!) concrete, rockery, and paver providers to discuss the projected heat their ideas, and solicit quotes. A number of the providers were visionless, one was rude, and another was wildly expensive (twice as much as any of the others). Enter Jose and J Zamora Construction. While my initial vision for the space was admittedly to have a concrete patio, with a paver retaining wall - after meeting with Jose, my mind changed. In the most genuine and non-pressuring tone possible, he educated me about the benefits of using pavers (repairability, less cracking risk, better drainage, etc). That, combined with both his understanding of the challenges of my property, as well as his unique lense on a design for our space - made Jose a stand out. I also greatly appreciated that when I expressed specific wishes, he did not take offense when those ideas didn't align with his initial recommendation. When some providers acted put-off when I said "I don't want to take out this tree" (etc.), Jose took it in stride and offered solutions rather than trying to convince me that my preference was unreasonable. After viewing our property, he was prompt, kind, and fair in his quote to us. His documentation was thorough and clear. That, along with his truly aesthetically, and functionally minded vision for our space convinced me to completely pivot from "I'm doing concrete", to "let's go with pavers". After hiring Jose, he recommended products that suited our combined vision for my yard, was transparent about potential overages, and ultimately executed a project that is beyond my dreams for our difficult space. His crew of 6 busted their behinds for 4 solid days to crack it out. They were prompt, respectful of my property and neighbors; and thorough in their daily, and end of project cleanup. They even went above and beyond to carefully re-lay our dog's invisible fence line, which was displaced in the underground drainage portion of our project. Ultimately, we're left with the addition of nearly 1000 square feet to our livable space. An area that started as a grubby dirt patch has become a clean and stunning use of space. It flows with the natural landscape, and looks cohesive with our very mid century home. We have had neighbors (known to us and new introductions) stop by with their jaws on the floor - one even saying "you've made this yard the showpiece of the mountain". Once we paint the house - our sweet little rambler will be perfection - and we have Jose to thank for so much of our exterior transformation.
