After
John S.

Needed a 50 foot, diseased Birch tree removed from my backyard. David (the owner) personally came to the house to inspect and quote a price for removal. His was the lowest quote by far. He and his team completely removed the tree and cleaned up the work area in just over two hours. Was very happy with how nice they were and how nicely everything looked when they finished. Great service, quality work and the best price!

Communication from beginning to end was great with Diana and her team. They removed all the weeds/plants in my backyard garden beds extremely fast. I was very impressed at their work. Almost didn't recognize my own backyard after they were done. Wish I could have monthly maintenance done by them but I'm a little too far.

Tore out old plants and redid with gravel rocks.

Diana came by for a quote on our lawn maintenance and her crew came by a week later. They did such a great job the first couple months with our maintenance that we hired them to redo our whole front yard with landscaping and artificial turf. Diana came by for a consultation and within 2 weeks, they got the job started. They finished within 2 days and we love the new look. We cannot recommend Diana and her crew enough. If you're considering any landscaping, make sure to send them a message first. Great value and very reasonably priced.

Family Tree Experts have been providing gardening and cleanup services for several months now. They recommended cleaning up our gigantic eucalyptus tree, and we went for it. We didn't realize how much needed to really be cleared from the tree. It is an entirely different tree now and a lot less messy than before. They did an amazing job!

David at Ideal Engineering built the surround and installed the capstones for our koi pond, and the…read moreresult is beautiful! I wanted to build a pond that wouldn't break the bank. Initial quotes ranged from $40,000-$50,000 to over $100,000 for a very high-end design and system, and pond builders were booked out until spring 2027. I decided to combine DIY work with professional help: I installed the equipment, all sourced from Play It Koi, hired out the excavation, and used ChatGPT to help develop a design around our available space. David's reasonable pricing helped bring it all together. This was a highly custom project with no set playbook. The design evolved along the way, and David and his team were patient and flexible as we worked through adjustments. Through his contact at Brickyard, we ordered Belgard Belair Wall 2.0 in Victorian. I loved the product but wasn't sure how it would look with our existing pavers--which David also installed 13 years ago. They turned out to be a perfect match! The project required an unusual schedule: after building the surround, the team paused for a few weeks while we installed the pond liner and equipment, then returned to install the capstones. This wasn't the most streamlined process for them, but they were accommodating throughout. David is that rare contractor who truly cares about making sure his clients are happy with the finished result. I'm so happy with how our koi pond turned out and highly recommend David and his team!

David and all his team of experts did a wonderful job installing new pavers in our backyard. Our…read moreold concrete slabs were cracked, and had shifted, altering the drainage of water to flow towards our house. After interviewing many landscape pavers, Ideal Engineering stood out for being prompt to all the meetings, willing to visit multiple times to double-check measurements before bidding and were knowledgeable on the current state of available inventory and which showrooms to visit to preview them. Prices were very reasonable and transparent. There were no unplanned mark-ups and all change orders were reviewed and had to be approved by me in advance, so I could budget accordingly. I think this is an advantage of choosing a local paver. The work was efficient and professional - different specialized crews for demolition, irrigation, paving, cleanup were used with their own knowledgeable foremen. Each foremen acted as an available point of contact and communication was easy and friendly. Any texts or calls were usually returned within minutes. The teams were proactive in highlighting any complications or issues that might require design approval to make sure the work they did matched what I had in mind. For example, Pedro, the paver lead felt it was better to create a smooth curve at a corner instead of a straight 90 degree corner, and he was right! The boundaries flowed smoother and nicer with the lawn. The paving work was top-notch. We had decided to install premium pavers from Belgard, and it was important the work was done properly for such an investment. This included grading at the proper slopes for proper drainage, adding weed-resistant fabric, multiple levels of graded stone for proper leveling and polymeric sand for good sealing between pavers. The team helped build custom steps that looked very nice to create easy step-downs and paver edging was done with great style and aesthetics. For a potentially complicated project, I really felt confidence in the team and the process. David also helped offer advise in helping me move and reset our external heat pump units so that they could be reinstalled on top of the pavers. They were able to build conduits to facilitate running irrigation and electricity underneath the pavers for adding drip irrigation of containers and future lighting in our garden. Cleanup was thorough, with parts of our yard reseeded and topped with new topsoil. There was no construction debris left on our lawn or streetside. Everything was swept up. Fence gates that were temporarily removed were re-installed to appear as if nothing ever happened. I would definitely use Ideal Engineering (Ideal Landscape & Concrete) again for future projects.

The quality of their work and attention to detail was clear each day, from arriving on time to their professionalism, and how fast they were able to do so much I was honestly impressed. I also appreciated how they diligently cleaned up the area every day, no dirt on my neighbor's sidewalk or driveway from my project. RB not only came in overall under budget from 4 bids I received, but also did the work twice as fast as the "big" competitor as well, in total taking 5 days to complete. My neighbors keep giving me compliments as I pass them on the street now, saying how great our yard looks. Will have zero hesitation to engage RB for my future projects.

I interviewed four landscapers and Noah provided the most credible and down-to-earth assessment of my project. He promised that a team would be on site every day, and my project would never get paused/put on the back burner until it was done, and that is what happened. Every foreman I worked with (Jose, Ernesto, Hector) was great, and fun; I felt well taken care of. The crews were very courteous and left the job site clean each day. There were several change orders along the way when we encountered an issue, or a nice opportunity to improve something. I felt like I got good advice, a few options on what to do, and the communication was very good. The final outcome is fantastic. Everyone who visits the yard is delighted. Now I just need to maintain it; Noah offers ongoing maintenance contracts (which are separate crews from the installers) if desired. I'm really appreciate the whole experience and will work with Noah on my next project!

I decided on Golden Bay Landscaping because Pedro explained clearly the work needed, the materials/parts he was going to install and the time it would take. These were also clearly listed on the written estimate he emailed me which was very competitively priced. Pedro was responsive to my followup questions and quickly updated his estimate with changes I requested. When I contacted him to ask if he could start the work 1 week earlier than we had agreed, he said he would look into it and get back to me by the end of the day. That evening he confirmed that he could accommodate my schedule change. His crew arrived on time everyday. Pedro himself came onsite multiple times to check in on the progress and help out. Whenever I came out of the house to ask a question, they provided knowledgeable answers. The guys worked professionally without any fuss and cleaned up the work area before they left everyday. I am very happy with the completed work and would hire Pedro and his crew again.

Pedro and his son help from the design of your project to last minute changes. Can't recommend them enough.
