We have a retaining wall planter that needed landscaping. I contacted Environmental Landscape and the owner, Mario, gave me the most resonable quote. He also included some boulders at no extra cost. I'm really happy with how the landscaping project turned out. We had some solar landscaping lights and they even installed that for us. Environmental Landscape did a great job on our landscaping project! read more

Mario was upfront, honest, and fair. Quality work and and at a fair price. He never tried to up-sale the job, which is one of the things we appreciated most. If we need any future sprinkler repairs, we'll definitely give Mario a call! read more

I recently hired environmental landscaping work, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and attentive to every detail. They transformed my yard into a beautiful, welcoming space that I'm proud to show off. The quality of their work is exceptional, and their customer service is outstanding. I highly recommend them Mario and Miguel did an amazing job all my neighbors hired them as well from the quality of service and work provided. read more

Note: we worked with Mario only for the quoting process. I reached out to Mario via Yelp messaging to get a quote for our project. He was prompt in responding, and was able to schedule a visit fairly quickly. Upon arrival, he was professional, friendly, and took all of our questions in stride. I appreciate that he would talk to me and get my thoughts versus only going to my hubby for questions. Mario was patient with us, and he promised and delivered a quote in a timely manner (especially since we reached out during the holidays). Price-wise, it was a good quote. Turnaround time was fair, and he was willing to start almost immediately on the project. Mario also texted with us, so communications were easy to handle. read more

Mario was not only great about giving me different ideas and advice, but was flexible to find something that would work with my budget. They were able to get started pretty much right away, finished within the given timeline, and were always respectful towards me and my property as far as communication, clean up etc. Beyond happy with my new fence, it came out beautiful, and I'm so grateful to have had a smooth and stress-free experience. Thank you again! read more

Mario responded very quickly and professionally. Our whole experience with his company was very pleasant. He gave us the best price for our job so much that we had him finish the rest of our hillside. He communicated with us and was very responsive and respectful of what we wanted done. My wife is finally at peace with looking at our backyard. We've dealt with such bad contractors in the past, we're very pleased with Mario and his crew we will be using him again. read more

I needed to have a drain installed in my patio and I'm very thankful that Mario was able to have the drains installed right away . The first guy who came to install the drain didn't do it the right way , so I had to tell him to just stop his work cause he doesn't really know what he's doing . I'm so thankful that Mario was able to install the proper drains that's needed. He's really nice and professional and the price he gave me was very reasonable. His crew made sure too that everything was clean before they left . Definitely 5 stars !!! read more

Reached out to several companies for a sprinkler repair. They were the only one who could it same day, and their quote was more than 50% less than the others. Employees were friendly and made suggestions on further improvements. Definitely recommend! read more

Mario came out to evaluate our project for our front and back yard. He was on time, followed up quickly and was very responsive with questions we had about everything. Although we did not get to move forward with what we wanted to do, Mario's pricing was very much inline with other people we had come out to quote and hopefully we can work with him on a future plan. read more

We recently moved to Santa Monica on a house that is on a rather large lot on the corner, with parkways all around the house measuring over 200 feet, as well as sprinkler irrigation on pretty much every inch of the property. We were shocked when our first water bill was nearly $1000. We talked to the city who sent an inspector and told us that we could qualify for a substantial rebate if we converted the grass to drought tolerant landscaping including drip lines, and converted all of the non-grass areas, which were substantial, from sprinkler to Dripp. They gave us a lengthy package of requirements that were pretty complex and technical. I work from home, so it was easy for me to get estimates from 12 different companies who all had five star reviews on yelp. After having all of them come out, I felt that Mario, even though he wasn't the absolute cheapest but was close to it, would be the best person to do the job. He would always call me amigo, not because he was trying to be polite or burn a customer but rather because he really truly became my friend and partner throughout this process. Mario's plans were thorough and confident. Budget was reasonable and in a detailed written quote. No surprises or bait and switch. Got the job done on time and each time the crew was here they left it far cleaner than when they arrived (tough because we love under a dozen pine trees!). The city inspector came and same soMe of the work had failed inspection -- drip lines needed to be a different brand, new valves were needed, and drip lines needed to be buried. Mario immediately did that work with no labor charge and minimal material charge for things we hadn't budgeted on initially. Again the work was beautiful. A couple issues with the drip line which Mario personally and IMMEDIATELY (even on weekends or late at night) came to fix. Courteously, respecting social distancing, and professionally. He even repaired some of our prior drip lines free to be nice. If you want drought resistant plants or drip irrigation or a complete redo, talk to Mario. Be prepared to be partners - share photos, be explicit, and he will give you exactly what you need and stand behind his work. His team is very sweet as well. And make sure to call him "amigo"! read more

We are very happy with the landscape work from Mario and his team! We got many quotes from landscapers but Mario was the one who understood my vision for our front yard and worked with us to make it happen. He provided samples of the turf within our budget and was very helpful in the process. They got started right away. The quality of the work is top notch we even included our backyard to have them add rock to our planter. Mario was reliable and easy to work with. Highly recommend! read more

I hired Mario because I wanted drought tolerance landscaping. What I got instead was the worse looking yard on the block. Mario was unable to draw up a plan, instead telling me his vision. He gave me an estimate & paid him a down. He presents himself as a humble, soft spoken man. Do not let him fool you! He does not follow through with his guarantees. He does not respond to text regarding problems. He doesn't even know the names of the plants he bought. Shortcuts all the way. He uses the cheapest materials. Disabled my sprinklers that were working fine. Will not come back to fix it. I have weeds popping up everywhere. The weeds are growing and the plants are dying. He took advantage of me. I am a senior woman with a disabled husband. He saw that as an opportunity to take advantage. I truly believe all the good reviews that he has are from family members, as he comes from a large family. As time went on, besides the down payment I gave him, he asked me weekly for more money stating that he needed more to buy supplies & to pay his workers. That was a red flag. My deposit on the estimate should cover those things. Apparently, I was helping him make his new Tesla Roadster car payments. My husband & I live month to month on our social security. It took us quite awhile to save up for this expense t read more

It was a pleasure working with Mario and his team! We needed help with a number of items including removing a damaged pergola, planting over 50 individual plants/trees and fixing misc. irrigation problems. Mario was quick to respond to my inquiries and did an excellent job at providing clear communication throughout the entire project. His team always arrived when they were supposed and their quality of work top notch. Mario was always available if I had questions or concerns and really went out of his way to ensure I was completely satisfied (even it meant coming back to our property a few more times than planned to ensure the work was done absolutely right). I highly recommend Environmental Landscape! read more

Mario and his team did an amazing job with landscaping our front and back yard. We had a slope filled with weeds and their team cleaned up all of the weeds, installed a new irrigation system, and planted ground cover plants. Everything was done in one day.

Mario and his team did an amazing job with our landscape. Our front "yard" is clean and vibrant with turf surrounded by drought resistant plants and a plum tree in the middle. We had an idea of what we wanted, and with Mario's recommendation and creativity, he brought it to life. Now, we can enjoy a picnic in front of our house especially during the quarantine. After the job was complete, he called us a couple times to follow up with his work to make sure the irrigation system was working properly, and the plants were adjusting well. We are extremely happy with his work and how he communicated with us before, during, and after the work. We have recommended him to all our neighbors who need to complete their lawn because his costs were reasonable as well as he did it all - cut parts of an overhanging mulberry tree, landscape, hardscape, and turf. Many of the competitors we reached out to would only be able to complete part of what we wanted. Since he was able to do it all at a great price, we chose him and so glad that we did. Thanks again Mario, and hope your landscape looks as good or even better than ours. read more

Called Mario regarding irrigation repair consisting of 5 sprinkler valves and 5+ broken sprinklers. I noted that I've had issues with my system every year that I've own the house and he was quick to spot the issue. He and is crew are fast, clean and professional but what I value the most is the quality of work. You can find anyone to come fix sprinklers but someone like Environmental Landscape will absolutely work with you, at your pace and to your satisfaction. Thanks Mario!! read more

One of my sprinkler manifolds was not working. Mario responded and discovered the issue right away. Somehow the manifold water supply knob was turned off. I was unaware of this and never checked it. He made sure everything worked and did not charge me. He was polite and professional. I am very grateful for that. I will call him again if I need work done in the future. read more

Hired Miguel to do some landscaping work that included adding concrete, turf, retaining wall, and new irrigation drip system. For the most part Miguel did a great job, but I have to give him only 1 star as he failed to complete the job. Been trying to get the small remaining items completed but after a full payment was made Miguel has not returned to complete the final items (4+ months). Very disappointed that a overall great job that just needs some finishing isn't being addressed as PROMISED BY Miguel. I would love to pass on more business to Miguel from friends and neighbors but the failure to finish has been really disappointing. read more

Our project involved the front yard- removing old grass, installing new turf, creating new planters with drip system, planting new succulents surrounded by river rocks. Also, the driveway was extended, a small retaining wall was built and more planters were made. We are very happy with the work done by Mario and his team. All of the workers were very hard working and efficient, working even when it was hot. Some stayed into the evening to complete projects. The work was done promptly. Mario was excellent at communicating with us every step of the way from design, selecting materials and plants, what parts of the project were to get done that day etc. When we were not happy with one detail, he was open to suggestions and gladly changed it the next day. We highly recommend him and his team. read more

Mario and his team are AMAZING!! I was looking for someone to clear our backyard of a huge mess of overgrown weeds. He came to my house shortly after I talked on the phone with him. He was able to do the work the next day. His team worked so fast it was incredible. They were able to do in two days, that would have take me a month. I was so impressed I started asking about some landscaping ideas. I finally saw the potential of my yard and that was exciting. Mario brought in new nutrient rich soil, fixed my sprinklers, installed a drip system, very professional and great job I highly recommend A+++++ thank you my friend I appreciate your work I will contact you for my brother's yard thank you again God bless . read more

My yard got destroyed from pool construction. I have used Mario and his team in the past, so I called them again. They were out very quick and did a great job with everything I asked them to fix! Environmental Landscape is always my go to. Quick response times, good communication, work, and quality of work. read more

After my first initial contact, Mario came out in a timely manner. He was pleasant and professional. On their originally scheduled date, Mario's two workmen arrived on time. With further inspection, they determined one of our main sprinkler valves needed replacing which I thought fairly added to the original estimate. I did not give five stars because a few weeks post our sprinkler system repair, a sprinkler broke. Due to unforeseen circumstances from Mario's workmen, I had to wait five days until Mario himself did the repair. Not only did he repair the sprinkler, but also checked/replaced the bulbs of our many outside low voltage light fixtures. Both repairs/bulb replacements were done at no additional cost. This was more than fair and I would definitely refer him for landscaping issues. Shelley Silver read more

We have a 3 acre lot they needed weed abatement and clean up. We called 3 landscapers: the first one didn't answer phone or return call; the second one looked at job and commented entire time it was a lot of work. He said he'd send quote next day. Heard nothing until a week later when he said he forgot!! Mario answered the phone, came to bid job when he said he'd show up, sent his quote same day. His crew showed up when he said they would and did a GREAT job in the time frame estimated. They hauled all the weeds away. They were careful around our 40 solar panels. A bit pricey but worth the size job and years of weed build up! We definitely recommend Mario and Environmental Landscape. We would use them again. read more

I found Environmental Landscape on Yelp. From the moment I requested a quote Mario (owner) has been an excellent communicator. He was quick to schedule a walk through, arrived early and was able to hear what I wanted and make a plan. He provided a quote the same day and scheduled me for the work. Today they finished and I am so pleased. See pictures below. He totally transformed my yard and I can not wait to entertain back here! My biggest fear was unexpected expenses. What he quoted me is what I paid. No surprises! I would recommend Environmental Landscape to anyone. read more

Beware of this business. I hired this business for a turf removal and drip irrigation installation project. It did very poor quality work. Miguel comes up with every excuse in the book. This business and Miguel do not have a contractor's license. If a contractor's license is shown verify that it belongs to this business and Miguel. I filed a complaint with the state Contractors Agency.

Mario is not only a nice guy but he knows what he's doing and his crew was friendly and efficient. We put decomposed granite in three different areas in our backyard and the results look beautiful. Everything Mario said he would do got done and in one day. He brought extra workers to make sure it was a one day job. We are very happy with his communication skills and ability to produce great results. We are thrilled with how easy he made everything for us. He not only showed up on time, he bought all the materials, set up a drip system, put down fabric, rock and dg, hauled away extra dirt and cleaned up after everything was finished. If you're looking for a landscaper who knows what he's doing, who's not a flake and who gets the job done in a timely manner, and makes it look great, he's your guy. We highly recommend Environmental Landscape. read more

Mario and his crew did an amazing job. I found him by word of mouth and was impressed with his Yelp reviews. I needed clean up and reseeding of old lawn and trimming of hedges. His price was very fair and he stood by the work he did even if it took them a little bit longer. He even repaired and tuned my sprinklers to maintain the yard. It's been about 2 weeks and my lawns look awsome and my hedges are even better. They did a great job cleaning up and I now use them for regular maintenance. read more
