We contacted Maverick to come to Clayton to assess our drainage issues in our large grass yard. Our grass was installed quickly without regard for proper grading nor proper drainage, and is now soggy in places and dead in other places. We feel lucky to have found Maverick and Fernandez and Sons! It is so very rare to meet someone so knowledgeable about landscape drainage, soil conditions specific to where we live, as well as all of the options available to homeowners. His visit proved invaluable, he answered all of our questions, and we will not hesitate to use his expert services! read more

Miguel did a large retaining wall and drainage job in my yard in Lafayette. I was going to go with cinder block but Miguel suggested I use natural moss rocks. He went to the mountains and picked out the rocks himself, and they were delivered in 6 truck loads. He did extensive grading and moving and it came out wonderful, like something from a national park. It has been several years with big rains and all the drainage worked perfectly. Excellent work Miguel! :) read more

I called Fernandez and Sons for an estimate on placing a mature tree to block the view of a tall building being built behind my house. They came out the same evening I called, and sent a quote the very next day. Thank you so much for your terrific service. read more

I owe this review since no storm happens until lately. This is the best local licensed landscaper in the area. Maverick who is the business owner with a sharp intelligent brain to help customers resolve landscaping issues. I had flooding in my back yard by the storage where drainage was missing. Checked with many licensed companies with professional; none of them could resolve issues and made all ridiculous estimates. Finally found Fernandez and sons, Maverick stated clear about plans to resolve issues by cutting inches of concrete and installed 3 drains. Maverick's estimate was amazingly affordable with the best materials like replacing concrete back on. The work team were professional, punctual, and Maverick did what he promised and the most important is no more flooding during storms. This licensed company is trustworthy and eased my landscaping concern. If I could give more than only 5 stars, I would. They earn my business. read more

I highly recommend Fernandez & Sons landscaping. They are very professional and did a great job at our home which had flooded during the California torrential rains a couple of years ago. After that we haven't seen any leakage. read more

We recently had the pleasure of working with the Fernandez & Sons team and I can't speak highly enough of their services. From the very beginning, their trustworthiness was evident, and it continued to shine throughout our entire landscaping project. Miguel, with his extensive knowledge, took the time to educate and teach me about every aspect of the landscaping. He is passionate and hardworking! Maverick, Miguel's son, always made sure I was being communicated with and understood the entire process from start to finish which made us feel confident and informed every step of the way. Never trying to nickel and dime us, keeping us within budget, which we very much appreciated. The process was collaborative. They helped us take our rough sketch that was on paper, and make it a reality. Because our property is lower than the surrounding, we needed a lot of drainage. With this in mind, we know we will be safe from flooding because they used their years of experience to adjust our design to not only add modern elements but to also to make it functional! One thing that truly impressed us about this company is their genuine commitment to doing right by their customers. They prioritize customer satisfaction above all else, and it's evident in every aspect of their work. The level of care and attention they put into their projects is unmatched. The quality of their work is also outstanding. They consistently delivered high-quality results, leaving my property transformed. The attention to detail, trustworthiness, and communication sets them apart. What also gives me peace of mind and additional reassurance was knowing that they are licensed professionals. This means they adhere to industry standards and regulations, ensuring a safe and reliable service. If you're looking for a landscape company that embodies trustworthiness, exceptional customer service, high-quality workmanship, and professionalism, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend this team, and I'm beyond grateful for the beautiful, modern landscape they created for me. read more

We could not be happier with the results of our large exterior remodeling project with Fernandez & Sons Landscaping and are already enjoying our new outdoor space very much. The Fernandez team installed over 2,000 sq ft of pavers, a covered pavilion with grill island, sunken circular entertainment area, flagstone path, and space for an above ground spa. They also replaced a long wooden retaining wall with a keystone wall. The project included construction of a natural gas fire pit and installation of gas heaters, a significant amount of exterior lighting and electrical outlets, new plants and trees, drip irrigation, and a full drainage system. We also updated the landscaping in our front yard, which was a less involved project with no hardscape. The work that Fernandez did was of the highest quality. Miguel, Maverick, and their team have great attention to detail and take great pride in their work. There were a few times that they decided on their own to re-do something, knowing that we would be happier with the result. Their work with stone is particularly impressive. This includes pavers, the keystone wall, and Juan's intricate stonework on our pavilion columns, grill island, fire pit, and sunken circle - real works of art. We also appreciated working with such honest people. We chose Fernandez over other contractors largely because they seemed very trustworthy, and we were not worried (as we were with other contractors) that there would be a lot of "surprise" upcharges over the course of our project. Working with Fernandez & Sons was a very interactive process, which we wanted because we started with a rough initial plan but most of the details had to come together along the way. They contributed their own ideas and incorporated ours. We leaned heavily on Miguel's experience and advice regarding design and materials. Miguel's son Maverick takes the lead role in communicating with customers - he knows a tremendous amount at a young age and has a bright future. Looking through the few negative reviews here, most are because of delays in getting back in touch after an initial contact. This is a small family company, so when they get busy, they don't have a large team that can take up the slack. To us, the fact that this is a small family business was a positive, not a negative. We always knew who we would be dealing with and who would be doing the work - no hand-offs to unnamed subcontractors that we had never met or approved. We've never had a problem getting in touch with Maverick or Miguel when necessary. Some of the work took longer to complete than originally estimated - which I could say about every contractor that we have ever worked with. We highly recommend Fernandez & Sons and would be happy to work with them again. read more

Maverick and his team did an amazing job landscaping our backyard this past summer. We had previously received ridiculous quotes from other landscapers for doing just half of our backyard. When Maverick came in, he was extremely professional and polite. He understood our needs and budget, and then proceeded to recommend different solutions, all that would work for our home and family. At one point, we had some minor delays due to COVID and availability of products, and instead of simply waiting, he worked with us to find another solution. This was great because the added changes were even better than the original design and came at no cost to us. Lastly, when everything was done, Maverick personally stopped by to check in on how things were and also continues to message me from time to time for the same. If I could give more stars to Maverick and his team, I would. They did an amazing job and would 100% recommend them to all of my friends and family. read more

Based on the reviews read, I called this company and spoke to Maverick's father. He showed me the samples of grasses they install. Picked one I liked, and he gave me the price based on the lawn size. He told me his son will be calling me to finalize the deal. It's almost a week now, and still no call even though he said Maverick will call "tomorrow." Well, you've heard of that saying tomorrow never ends. I'm glad I still haven't hired them. Can you imagine if the call is about a problem with the installation? I'll be at their mercy, and no one would like to be in that predicament. read more

I'm a drafter designer and I recommend them to all my clients who ask me to recommend a Contractor. They make the construction/renovation process as easy as possible for both the clients and the professionals who work with them, like me, besides doing a beautiful job. read more

My husband and I met with Maverick with Fernandez & Sons and really liked him. After three meetings and even being provided project drawings by Maverick, he just stopped responding to texts, emails or phone calls. We were ready to move forward on this project. It was over $200,000 and we were not even given the courtesy of a call or email to indicate they could not handle the job. I am in a service oriented business, and I can't imagine doing business this way. Unfortunately, I CAN'T RECOMMEND FERNANDEZ & SONS LANDSCAPING. read more

After I called the company, the owner came out the next day to give a quote on a 20'x30' patio of decomposed granite. This was a great start. We had a good conversation, and I was ready to go with his company. Except, he never sent the contract. I reached out multiple times, and he never responded. Disappointing. If he didn't want to job for some reason, maybe because it was too small, then he should have been honest about that. read more

Maverick and team did an amazing job on our backyard. We started off with just landscaping and we ended up with a beautiful gazebo/pergola with a paved flooring, grass, gravel and flower boxes. We are really happy that we chose them for our project. Maverick went above and beyond to ensure we got what we wanted. Of course, we chose the pavers that was discontinued, but he still made it happened. Upon completion, he made sure everything was done to our liking and expectations. His father is kind and funny. He gave us a lot of tips and suggestion on how to take care of our plants and yard. We ended up retaining them to take care of our front and back yard. Can't be happier with their service. Highly recommended!! Thank you for transforming our backyard into a beautiful place of relaxation for us. Our dog Bear also loves it! : read more

Had Maverick, his father, and crew re do our front yard. They did an amazing job I highly recommend them. One thing I really appreciated was the collaboration effort. I didn't feel pressured into adding costly things that I did not want. Instead Maverick and his dad helped me to create what I actually wanted for the yard. I will be calling them when it's time to do my backyard. Thanks guys read more

Miguel, Maverick and the entire crew were incredible to work with. We started with Yardzen designs and Maverick was a fantastic partner to evolve them and deal with all the twists and turns through the job. It was also a pleasure to work and get to know them all. Love the end result! Highly recommend. read more

Maverick and his Dad Miguel just completed our kid-friendly backyard with turf, concrete, retaining wall, and redwood fence. Maverick has great design sense and was helpful determining the best layout for our space. Throughout the project he incorporated our changes and advised us of the most economical and aesthetic options. The quality of work is superior, we LOVE our new backyard and we would absolutely work with them again. read more

No call/no show to previously schedule job site visit. I guess they do need the work...

Miguel and Maverick did an amazing job at our house! They were reliable and cared a lot about the quality of their work. We ran into a number of complications for things that were out of anyone's control (COVID, weather etc.) and they went out of their way to make it better. I'd absolutely hire them again. read more

They did a great job with removing/cleaning my patio. It was filled with weeds and a couple of shrubs. I also like how fast they responded to my request for service through yelp. I would definitely use them again if/when needed. read more

I've given this company endless opportunities to do my dry stack rock retaining wall. They have failed to show up for scheduled meetings on two occasions, they don't return my calls or texts, and I'm tired of being ignored. All this AFTER I bought all the materials (at Maverick's specific instruction to buy larger rocks) and have had them sitting at my house for literally 6-months. After talking with Maverick, we chose to do some of the excavation ourselves, which Maverick said he would stop by and check out. Never happened. Gave him months to respond as we weren't in a huge rush, and I didn't want to be a bother. Finally got ahold of him 6-7 weeks ago and he said he'd stop by the following Thursday. Never happened. I followed up with a text weeks later. No response. If anyone is reading this and has another company they can recommend, let me know. We're a patient and chill bunch at my house, but to ignore a customer for months is the height of unprofessionalism, and we're very disappointed. read more

Maverick, Miguel and the rest of the Fernandez team were great to work with and really put effort into doing things the "Right" way. They showed great patience, and had valuable input, as we designed our backyard makeover from our own drawings and ideas. Maverick was very responsive, and if I ever had a question I knew I'd get a call back. It was amazing to see it all come together. Now we have a backyard where we love to entertain and spend lots of time enjoying. I'd definitely recommend Fernandez & Sons and wouldn't hesitate to have them work on my next project. read more

After multiple estimates I decided on Fernandez and Sons and I'm very happy with the results. They installed about 1,000 square feet of pavers on my back patio and were very thorough and careful in their work. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others. read more

Would give no stars if possible. Called two weeks ago, Maverick answered, confirmed an appointment for a week out, never showed, never called. I called him and asked what happened and he said he was busy and forgot and asked if he could reschedule for the upcoming Friday (4 days from the call taking place) so I said okay and confirmed Friday appointment. Again no show no call. What a waste of time, don't let yourself be burned like I did. read more

Mavrick Fernandez and his crew are true professionals. From landscape to paint Fernandez and Sons Landscaping is my go to when I have a project to do in Lafayette. They have come in on time, under budget and exceeded my expectations each time I have worked with them. read more

I had contacted Maverick to give me a estimate to do pavers in my front drive way. He came out talked to me and gave me a killer price for the job, very quick repose time came over the next day to see the drive way and gave me the estimate in minutes. The crew came over got to work and even finished the project early I could not be more happy. I will definitely be contacting Maverick and his company again for future projects in my back yard. read more

We were interested in a farm-style fence and had fits finding who knew how to do this, were responsive and reasonably priced. Fernandez and Sons (Maverick and his father Miguel) showed up well in all respects. Great final product, they were reliable and responsive and the work was done at a reasonable price. They know their stuff and, like others have said, we appreciated them partnering with us on how to improve the project. We will use them again for fencing and related projects. read more

I researched several landscapers and I made the decision to go with Fernandez and Sons. I made the right choice. Our backyard was a total makeover. They installed pavers, cementing, retaining walls, sprinklers and new sod. They explained step by step as the job was being completed. There were a few hurdles like any huge project and they fully explained the options available before they continued the project. The result was a beautiful backyard, where we can relax and entertain families and friends. I highly recommend Fernandez and Sons. read more

Great honest workers that got the job done right the first time and fairly quickly that! I expected the usual hiccup here or there but the project was executed flawlessly! Now, every time I look at my yard, I can think to thank these gentlemen. Also a great value, for such an important investment, with their unbeatable rates! So happy with the results and glad I chose Fernandez and Sons landscaping for the job, thank you guys! I know who I'll be going to for my next project. read more

Called Maverick about 2:30pm and explained that I wanted some work done on my backyard. By 5pm the same day, we were walking around my backyard talking about what sort of things I wanted done. He understood what I wanted and help me to decide the best way to achieve those results within my budget. He was knowledgeable about every aspect of landscaping and offered very sound advice. I look forward to working with him and will update this review once the job is done. read more

Probably my favorite company I've worked with! They did about 2,500 sq ft of pavers at out house here in Walnut Creek and let me tell you, it was far the best experience I've ever in counter! Since the start they had us involved in everything, taking us to the brickyard in concord to choose a paver and they even showed me how to install pavers! They made this whole experience great for me and my family. I truly recommend a company like this! read more

We hired Miguel and Maverick to replace and install new irrigation, landscaping borders, and sod in our backyard. What we thought was going to be a great experience turned out to be a NIGHTMARE. The first 10 days went fine except there was a lack of communication on when they would actually show up and do the work, but overall seemed like decent work. However, on the "last day" they were supposed to work and install sod, everything changed. My mom was at our house since we had to have an electrician come out and get power to the outside and Miguel was incredible rude to my mom. There was a huge miscommunication about the price of the electrical work (his subcontractor). The cost went from $300 to $600 without us being informed. He blamed it all on my mom (who has dealt with probably hundreds of contractors); who simply asked if it was possible to get 4 outlets instead of 2. She never said go ahead with it. When I called Miguel to ask what was going on, he constantly talked over me, told me I didn't understand "how business worked" and was overall incredibly rude to me. Then the saga continued the next day (Saturday), he came by when we weren't home to fix things that should have already been addressed and then sent us a text message (half in Spanish) about all the extra things we had asked for. However, he had never communicated the costs of these items (he had communicated other costs). When we spoke on the phone with him and asked why he hadn't informed us for these costs, he got irritated with us, talked over us, and ultimately was rude again. The issues still were not fixed on Saturday so after a week of attempting to get him out to fix them and have yet another unpleasant phone call, he finally came out tonight after my husband sent him a text saying we were done. My husband met him in the hopes of having the job finished. When I arrived home, I walked into the backyard and all I said was "hi". He immediately started angrily telling me that "he was not happy with me" and that "he has kids and how could I yell at him." I never yelled - not once in any of the frustrating phone calls that we had with him. Miguel's behavior was incredibly unprofessional, disrespectful, and 100% uncalled for. Find someone else to help you with landscaping. They won't communicate with you and they will charge you extra and then blame it on you. This entire experience has been a nightmare. Do not hire this company for any reason. read more

When people talk about home projects, and the trouble they have with contractor. , it's scary to have someone not give you the vision you have or to not be on time and or over budget. None of these things are true about Fernandez and sons. Every step of the way, including design and financing, we stayed informed. The huge yard project was on time, and I was consulted on every decision from the smallest detail. I now have the yard of my dreams. They are knowledgeable and creative. Thank You so much Fernandez and sons! I can't thank you enough! read more

I hired Miguel Fernandez and sons to pull weeds and cover the ground with mulch at my Mom's house so I could sell the property. Miguel's team cut the weeds instead of pulling and they sprayed the weeds with weed killer after I told him no spraying. He tried to tell me the weed spray was organic, but I'm sure that's a lie. I had to have his team come back three times because the cut weeds were poking up through the mulch. Also weed cloth I asked to be covered in mulch was still showing. On the last day, I asked they clean the dead weeds out of the mulch since there were no dead weeds before they cut them. He threatened to put a lien on the house and refused to have his workers clean up the dead weeds. He also hung up on me, sent me rude texts and constantly talked over me instead of listening to what I wanted. Never do business with Miguel Fernandez. He does not take pride in his work and he misrepresents the work he will do. read more
