Always replied quick and all times of the day/ evening. They sent their estimators out a couple of times, helping us reconfigure and to decide on how much area we wanted to do. S&L was the best estimate, we are highly satisfied with their work! Workers were professional, worked with cleanliness and completed the job very quick (and yes, quick yet detailed)!! We highly recommend S&L! Thank you all!

When the gentleman from S&L came, he kept the comments brief and professional. Oftentimes in my experience, contractors will exaggerate the condition of the problem in order to charge more or get you to agree to getting unnecessary work done. No "slimey salesman" vibes here. Also, their quote was one of the fairest from the list. They arrived on time, worked at a good pace, and cleaned the area afterwards, which is something I don't see typically from contractors I've used in the past. The work was only done today so time will tell if it holds up. However, I'm confident that the job was done well because of the level of professionalism they displayed in all the other areas. Highly recommend!!

If you're looking for flawless concrete work without the drama--this is your sign…read more I've used this crew twice--once for my driveway about 6 years ago and again recently for two patio slabs. The first time? Smooth as freshly poured concrete. They showed up on time, handled business like pros, and wrapped up the two-day job without a hitch. Fast forward 6 years later... my driveway still looks mint. Not a single crack. Not even a little one pretending to be cute. Second time around? Same hustle, same quality. These guys don't play. They show up, get it done, and don't waste your time. Now listen, if you're the type who needs constant hand-holding, hourly check-ins, or someone to send heart emojis every time you text--this might not be your vibe. But if you want solid work from a team that moves quick, stays professional, and gets the job DONE right? Don't overthink it. The crew is friendly, focused, and doesn't cut corners. They accept all forms of payment too (bless), which made things super convenient. No awkward ATM runs mid-pour. Bottom line: Quality work, no nonsense, and results that last. Highly recommend. Just remember--you're hiring a concrete crew, not adopting a puppy. Let them work and prepare to be impressed.

I highly recommend Icos Gardening & Landscaping and will definitely be using them again and again (because we have an older house with large yards.) Thank you Mr. Icos.

I contracted this company to resurface my backyard, level off the dirt, and put grass down. I…read morebelieve the price was a little over 5 grand. They ultimately asked me if i wanted seed or sod. I went with sod. I live in the northeast of Bakersfield. Well, after about a month, the sod died, all of it. It was watered properly. Ultimately, the dirt from the sod washed away, revealing the hard clay that was there before. I have come to the conclusion after speaking with other landscapers and my own research, that the company did not ammend the soil, as it is hard as a fucking rock and i cant even get bermuda seed to grow. Before they came i had not problem growing this easy to plant seed. It's coming up on two years, just about, and my yard is patchy and uneven. 100% is not worth 5000 dollars. This guy either got lazy and did not ammend my soil or did a shit job. I called a contractor because i wanted a nice lush soft backyard. Instead, it's hard baron clay lumpy, and im 100% disappointed and out 5 grand.

A couple of months later, the slats began to warp, twist, and pop off the studs. I called, and three slats were replaced. Additional slats have warped. I have called several times and was told they were busy and would get back to us as soon as they could. No show. Now, when I call, all I get is voicemail. I have concluded that inferior wood (green) wood was used, and staples are not a viable method to use to affix slats to the fence. DO NOT USE.

I did call a couple days later but I can't recall if I left a voicemail so it's possible he didn't return the call because I may not have left an VM identifying myself as a customer. His quick response here makes me believe this is just a strange circumstance issue where something got lost in the internet/phone world. I appreciate his quick response and courtesy despite receiving an initially negative review, perhaps we will get another chance to work together in the future. Used their contact form on their website to send a message on Oct. 29th because I was looking to have some irrigation work done around my house. Called and left a message 2 days later and still haven't received an email or callback from them. Not sure what happened, maybe they are overly busy or just weren't interested, either way it's disappointing to reach out to a business looking to get some work done and not even get a response.
