If you're considering a backyard project, hire them.

My wife and I were initially hesitant from working with System Pavers solely based on the high…read moreinitial quote as compared to some other competitors for our landscaping which included primarily pavers, and SP turf along with some perimeter landscaping (decorative rock or plants). This is our first major contracted work on our new home, and we wanted everything to be as perfect and smooth as possible. We know a few neighbors that went though horror story level issues with their landscaping contractors, and we wanted zero drama. The ratio of pavers and turf highly affects the cost but what hooked us to System Pavers was the complete transparency of the work required for the job, the quality of their sourced materials, and the professionalism of their contracted project manager and construction team! The entire process that System Pavers follows from the in-home visits from the sales team (Christopher Lawson in our case), the online portal that tracks all of the progress and costing, as well as the final work with the management and installation teams (Jose Gonzalez and Juan Carlos) were pretty much flawless in our experience. I don't usually spend time giving positive feedback to companies that only perform the minimum requirement. System Pavers needed to earn our business, and they won us over primarily from the pure professionalism they showed throughout this process.

It was early September when I first contacted Mike, owner of Landscape Pro Services. He explained…read morethat he was quite busy and his irrigation specialist would be unable to do my drip irrigation job for at least a couple months. But Mike's business reviews, starting some 6 years earlier, were impressive. Almost all positive, those reviews convinced me to not be discouraged. I let him know I would gladly wait. Besides, I had already met with another "highly rated" Yelp contractor and was feeling rather discouraged. That guy had given me an extremely high bid. His subsequent communications and extreme bartering impressed me to be odd, bordering on unethical and untrustworthy. I knew I had to keep looking. In spite of his schedule, Mike graciously consented to come out see what was going on with my aging drip system the next week. Two weeks later, after I thought he had forgotten me, I received an unsolicited text from Mike with a genuine apology. We met the very next day. It went well. For a full hour, we discussed all my drip system problems. He made many recommendations, but his ideas were realistic and practical. He assured me that, instead of re-doing the entire system, he could take the existing drip lines and repair, replace, and improve, as needed. This meant a significant savings to me, and most importantly, much happier plants. His price quote was far more affordable. Meanwhile, while taking a look around, he noticed that my controller (timer) was misprogrammed. He asked my permission to reset everything so it would be running more efficiently, then took the time to explain everything he did. (I was ecstatic, me being the boob who had naively messed it up in the first place.) He shared some valuable tips on plant care as well. Little things like this convinced me I would be in good hands. December 2025. It was a wait, for sure, but we finally found a day to proceed on this 1-day project. He sent his irrigation specialist, Lazaro, out to my house and Lazaro was a god-send. Very reliable. Very ethical. Very hard-working and agreeable. What a great guy to have on your team. Lazaro completed everything in one day. I decided to add to the scope of work, adding a new controller unit at the same time. Lazaro ran out, bought the piece, installed it, and gave me hands-on training before leaving. And what do you know? The final bill still came to about one 3rd of the other guy's final quote. Could not be happier. An excellent experience in every sense of the word.

Mike Jones is an absolute class…read more Coming from a poor experience with a previous contractor who we later found out wasn't even licensed, Landscape Pro Services truly came in clutch. From the level of service, to the quality of work on our backyard, to the unmatched turnaround time and value, Mike delivers on all levels. If I could give him more stars than 5, I would. I gave him a general idea of what we were looking for and he truly exceeded all expectations with it. We have a fairly small backyard that if treated a certain way, wouldn't feel spacious. Somehow, our backyard now feels more open and bigger than it actually is and all with a modern touch. Throughout the span of the project, Mike kept a simple communication line going and was always so honest. So much so, that he gave us money back because we somehow accidentally paid more than we should've. Lowkey, I think we were just more than happy to pay the guy for how great of an experience the whole thing has been. Take our money! Mike, truly, thank you for bringing your expertise to our now stunning backyard. You've made it possible for the family to start enjoying daily backyard time!

His decades of experience. His clear communication style and project deadlines. His advice on what to do/what not to do. His fair pricing. He is, through and through, a pro's pro. We're coming to a close with my project. It involved demo/installation of concrete and a gas line revamp. Now that I've worked with him, I've seen Keith's ability to identify flaws with our drainage system, recommended a clear, cost-effective solution to our water line and electrical issues. He's fixed our electrical setup for our backyard lighting. He's fixed our sprinkler system setup. He even helped me with making a claim with my insurance company. He and his team have showed up on-time every day. They work hard and they do a great job as a team. The list goes on. Couldn't be happier with my decision.

I tried a number of landscapers, some didn't bother giving me a quote. I had one on deposit, but they never contacted me after making the deposit electronically, I had to chase after them to get a response. So, I called Shafer, and Keith came out in spite of me telling him I was probably going to go with the original company, as they had gotten back to me and gave me reassurances. Keith runs the company, and they only take on one job at a time. They do everything, and Keith provided a lot of great ideas, and came in a lot lower in cost. So seeing as the first company was showing true to some of the Yelp reviews of poor communication, I went with Shafer. I'm really, really, really glad I did. I'm very happy, and will be calling Shafter in the future for other projects, like fencing. Thanks Keith for you and your excellent crew doing a great job!!!

Long overdue for my review, finally got around to it! I recently had the absolute pleasure of…read moreworking with Rudy and his incredible landscaping and design team to completely overhaul our backyard, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the very first consultation to the final walkthrough, every step was seamless, professional, and exceeded our expectations. If you're on the fence about hiring a landscaper, stop scrolling--this is the team you want. It all started when we decided it was time to turn our new build dirt lot backyard into a functional space for our family. We'd had a few consultations with other companies, but nothing clicked until we met Rudy. I've actually been following their work for a while and finally had the finances to make a call. Right away, his passion for creating personalized outdoor spaces shone through. He took the time to understand our vision--a mix of low-maintenance greenery and an illuminated elevated deck to tie it all together. What impressed me most during the planning phase was how responsive and attentive he was. I must have bombarded him with at least 20 questions about everything from lighting to drainage solutions, and he answered every single one promptly, often with photos or sketches to illustrate his ideas. He truly listened to our concerns, like our worries about watering needs and drainage, and adjusted the design on the fly without any pushback. It felt like a true partnership, not just a transaction. Once we greenlit the project, the execution was nothing short of masterful. Rudy's crew arrived on time every day, and I have to give a huge shoutout to the workers--they were the friendliest, most hospitable group I've ever had on my property. Smiling faces, polite chit-chat, and zero mess left behind. You could tell from the get-go that quality was their top priority. Whether it was precisely leveling the ground for the turf, installing the irrigation system with flawless precision, or installing electrical, everything was done correctly and to an impeccable standard. No shortcuts, no surprises--just solid, durable work that looks like it could withstand a decade of family barbecues and kids' playtime. It's not just a backyard anymore; it's our go-to spot for relaxation and entertaining. Throughout the entire process, Rudy made it a point to check in regularly, ensuring we were happy at every milestone. I can't recommend Rudy and his team enough--they're the real deal for anyone dreaming of a backyard upgrade. We're already planning about tackling the front yard. If you want pros who treat your space like their own, deliver top-tier results, and make the whole journey enjoyable, look no further. Thank you, Rudy, for turning our yard into a proper space!

I had Rudi the owner provide a quote to landscape the front and backyard at my house. This included…read moredemoing concrete and replacing it with stamped concrete. Installing artificial grass, irrigation, and plants. Part of the quote included, sealing the concrete once it had cured. Rudi's crew did a good job, especially his two foreman's Angel and Rolando. The reason I would not recommend using this company is there is a lack of communication and follow through on the owners part. Several of the design points that I discussed with Rudi were not communicated clearly to his foreman. Also, after the job was done and and the job was paid for Rudy's crew. Never returned to seal the concrete as promised. After I reached out several times, he committed to coming back the following week to get the job done. That was approximately a month ago and I haven't heard from him since.

We are really happy with the work they have done for us and created a beautiful backyard space for us to enjoy. I highly recommend Lee to anyone looking to upgrade their space.

This is not a great first impression, and the communication has been less than ideal. We set aside time from our workday to be available during the agreed appointment window.
