Green Planet Landscaping has earned a Five-Star rating for their installation of the artificial…read morelawn in our father's front yard. The natural grass was hard to maintain, since the sprinklers were not functioning properly, but the artificial lawn has vastly improved the curb appeal of our father's property. Without increasing estimated costs, Green Planet Landscaping surprised us with an additional amenity that actually rectified an issue raised by the local HOA. Thus, we are 110 percent satisfied with their service. Inasmuch as I live several hours away from Brentwood and Discovery Bay, I did not have the pleasure of meeting Alan in person. However, our communications were very effective and I am delighted to have completed this task as our father's Power-of-Attorney.

When moving to the city of Oakley, our home is a new construction so our backyard is all dirt and…read morewe had to submit an approval to the HOA. After living in our home for a year, it was time to redesign our backyard. I submitted a price quote request on Yelp and received a few responses to schedule a consultation. After meeting with other landscape companies, my choice was to go with Alan at Green Planet Landscape. It wasn't just about the price quote, but Alan's thoughtful ideas and recommendation made us trust him even more with the project. He would make sure our backyard would look amazing and presentable. He drew a sketch design for us to submit to the HOA. After we got an approval from the HOA for the project, Alan scheduled us within a few days. Alan first introduced me to Angel to have him do a walkthrough around the backyard. We had them install stone walls, pavers, artificial turf, and planter beds. The project lasted about 3 days and they did a fantastic job on transforming our backyard. My wife is so in love with plants and was very happy they planted her plants in the soil. Our dogs were so excited and love playing on the turf. I would highly recommend Green Planet Landscape. We finally are comfortable to contact them in the near future.

We had a great, long, but great experience with Chris and his team. He was a bit more expensive but…read morewe gave him a chance to review our other top quote and he matched it! We were going for a large 19x19 outdoor bar/grill and seating area. Unfortunately, the city prevented us and since Chris is ethical, we settled on a 19x13. Some companies would just build it and not give a shit when you have to demolish it later due to city codes. I have a neighbor from hell who would love to call the police. The city made the process drag out for almost a year. No fault to his company. Once they finished, we were in love! Check out the pictures for yourself! Feel free to use our pictures as an example of what you want! He's ready!! Oh, we have a pool and his team is trained on how to avoid hitting equipment. :)

Very disappointed in this company. I purchased a home with water feature in the backyard that was…read morebuilt by them. We were looking for a possible leak and I contacted them asking if they offered any type of maintenance on their equipment since we don't know what to look for or how it works. We were told there were some valves and a shut off valve located on auto fill feature. Again, not being familiar with any of the equipment involved with said feature we weren't sure what to look for. We ended up digging up the rocks and finding that it was in fact the auto fill feature not stopping causing it to constantly drain out the front of our home. Immediately called the company and left a message and haven't even received a call back. I ended up calling another company to come help me with the feature and show me how the system works. The only advice I received from AJs was they don't offer maintenance and they recommended I call a leak detection company. For the amount of money the former homeowner paid for this backyard I'm extremely disappointed in the lack of care for their faulty water feature, the lack of compassion for helping me to understand how the system worked and the lack of response.

I was recommended to Lebec for a foundation issue after consulting with the inspector about 6 years…read moreago. On contacting them, scheduling was very straightforward. They asked for the inspection report and I provided them with it. I met Edward at the property, and described the problems to him. We walked the outside perimeter of the property. He said that to get into the crawlspace, they charged a $300 crawl fee. I was upset by this because this was never disclosed before and during scheduling the meeting. I reluctantly agreed, and Edward spent about 10 minutes or less in the crawlspace. We discussed what I was looking for in a quote. He made recommendations, including installing a french drain at the foundation on both sides of house. What followed was several attempts at collecting the $300.00 crawl fee, including an e-mail suggesting that they cannot release the quote until they received the fee. All this was happening while a check was in the mail on it's way to them. I met another contractor, and the experience was very different. He went straight into the crawlspace, gave me his initial impressions of what the cost might be, and also recommended against the french drain, mainly because he didn't see any evidence of water collecting in the crawlspace (and neither had I over the past 6 years). He said this would cost an additional $30,000+, and is not needed. After Lebec received their check, they sent me the quote, and sure enough, the french drain install was about $36,000, and their quote for the foundation work was about 30% higher than the second contractor who came out. I don't know what their project results are like so I cannot comment on that, but the hidden price for the inspection, the recommendation for work that wasn't necessary, and the 30% price difference just leaves me unable to trust them or recommending their services.

Often their design decisions were very good, but when you're spending tens of thousands of dollars you need get everything in writing and be sure everyone is clear on what is being delivered, e.g., which stones will be used, the type of counter top on the bar table, the ground cover, the appropriate sprinklers and lighting fixtures based on the realities of the family (big destructive dogs, etc.) and other drought-resistant fill to be used. Then again we are landscaping rookies. Next time we will happily pay more to work with a landscaper who clearly indicates what they're going to deliver.

I had the same experience as a couple of other people who have left reviews. Greg is a nice guy,…read moreand I really like him personally, which is why I honestly didn't want to have to write this review. However, I feel like my job was relatively small and simply wasn't a high priority. I was originally told the job would take about 4-5 days, but it ended up taking closer to three months. Greg told me they would start on June 22, but that didn't happen. I believe they actually started the work around July 28 and finally finished on August 24. There were several times when the guys were supposed to show up in the morning, but they wouldn't arrive until the afternoon, would only work for part of the day, or wouldn't show up at all. Greg was always very nice and had an explanation, but the delays became frustrating. Unfortunately, after the job was completed and I had made the final payment, I noticed there was a gap underneath my gate where the turf did not cover the ground. I first contacted Greg about it on August 27, and a month later, I'm still trying to get it fixed. I've attached a picture so you can see the issue. Greg told me he doesn't have any extra turf left to fill the gap, but said he would come back and replace the bricks that were there previously. I'm still waiting to see if that happens. Overall, Greg is a nice person and I believe he means well, but based on my experience, I would recommend making sure you have a clear timeline before hiring them. If you have a larger project, you may have a different experience, but if you have a smaller job, I would personally consider getting another company to do it. I'll update this review if and when the gap is finally fixed. I guess all I had to do was post this review because Greg came by and fixed it today so I added a star to my review.

After interviewing three designers, we chose Ian and I'm happy to report that our plans were approved within 48 hours of sending them to the board. One neighbor, who used to serve on that committee, said "these are the most detailed plans I've ever seen". Ian's attention to detail had to have been a major factor in their decision-making process. What we liked about Ian was: he was able to easily and quickly share examples of other designs he had created; he told us that his fee would include revisions, he wouldn't nickel-and-dime us; and he has established relationships with many/all contractors that we'll need to complete the work. I'll update this review as we go through the process...we're only at the approval stage now. We need to have a good portion of the backyard demo'd before the work can begin. But so far, so good. Ian has delivered what was advertised.

Sammie (the owner) and his team kept their word, they started and finished on time, from start to finish never skipped a day. Along the way I had to change few minor things, they were courteous enough to accommodate me, whatever I told them they wouldn't say no, they just do it without any hesitation.
