Zach came back to turn on the system and make those repairs. The job/s were done with great care, efficiency, while also answering our many questions. :) All the fixes were repaired and the sprinklers adjusted for maximum coverage and in perfect working order. Needless to say they have earned our repeat business.

Jon took time up front to listen and understand our preferences and dislikes, and then shared his knowledge, experience and creative skills in a collaborative manner so that we ended up with a great outcome. He and Mark, the job-site supervisor are professional and hard working, and at the same time very personable and easy to work with. They responded graciously to concerns that arose as the job unfolded, and were willing to incorporate ideas and suggestions that we came up along the way. And thanks to Joe for providing so much of the "muscle" that the job required. Jon and crew have extensive knowledge and experience in local plants and conditions. Highly recommended.

My husband and I hired Juan's Landscaping, Construction, and Tree Cutting Contractor to trim up our…read morehuge monkey tree. This was a big project due to our monkey tree being overwelmingly large and more than what our family was able to do. If you need some major tree pruning services, Juan's are an excellent choice. They are competitive, efficient, professional, and very courteous. They cleaned up everything and our yard is now beautiful. We highly reccomend Juan's to take care of your needs. Thank you Juan and team for your outstanding work!!!

Augustino promptly met with us & gave us an estimate. After we agreed, he requested a deposit which…read morewe supplied & he gave us an estimated start date. He did not show up on the estimated start date & we gave him 2 weeks & waited for him to contact us. When I called him after 2 wks, he asked me to text him our address & he would call me back. He did not call back. I called again the next day & the call would not allow me to leave a message. I then texted him cancelling the job & told him I would stop payment on the deposit. The following day he called & apologized. I said I did not mind the delay as much as I DISLIKED the lack of communication--no text, no call re: delay & no response when I called-texted to follow up. Told him I cannot have a job done by someone who does not communicate by text or call!!!

Two different bids-…read more Trees- BIG CEDARS. Came out to bid, gent was professional and very knowledgeable. Fair pricing. Husband just didn't pick them of the five bids. Not about money. We went with arborist. Deck bid- Building a large floating deck for base of greenhouse. Very high bid for labor, bid was not detailed enough. Didn't break down ttl cost lumber pkg, labor cost was only thing detailed. Got vibe they didn't want to communicate or interested in job. This is incredibly important job to me so went with different company.

I gave my best answer ($30-$50 per SF) but that was not satisfactory to them. Perhaps they have all the work they can handle or this was just not the right project for them? Would have been nice to know. Their work may be amazing but that conversation was a no go for me.

After a major large project for our new house, four years ago, I recently contacted Russ(the owner) and Tate from Borrowed Ground for a smaller project, and they were extremely responsive and once again, their high-quality work exceeded expectations. In this day and age when much in the construction business is purely transactional, Russ and BG staff help create a bit of Eden at a persons home with artistry and great communication skills.

We had an excellent experience with Smokey Mt this week. They were punctual, courteous and did…read moreexceptionally high quality work. Their prices were competitive and their scheduling fit well with our plans. As a part of this project, they cleared out a wooded area behind our home and removed items left by some vagrants. Then they revitalized our garden areas by removing some old, tired junipers, and golden cypress. They planted new trees, added a rock border in front of the house and paved the apron next to the house. Everything looks fantastic! We will definitely be using them again in the near future. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for high quality work.

You would never believe how they transformed the heavy ivy and dying shrubs on a hill - now it features a retaining wall that blends with the natural environment that faces the park and flowers all around. We are very happy with him and his polite team who worked very hard, even in the pouring rain! West Coast prices are very fair too.

I have LOVED working with Debra Gear over the years. I was starting with a very large yard that had…read morezero landscaping and she helped me create a working 10 year plan for the entire property. It spanned from areas against forest where we focused on native plants, to large ornamental gardens, to a ultra-low-maintenance veggie garden. Debra held my hand and even taught me how to plant my veggies for best results. I highly recommend!

After I paid a $2K deposit, Debra's crew put in one day of work and then disappeared for a month. I…read morecontacted her repeatedly and in a cordial manner during that time and she finally came over to my house to explain she'd been having some personal difficulties. She promised she wouldn't go missing again and would finish the job right away. Two weeks later, the crew showed up and again put in one day of work. To this day, eight months later, the job is unfinished. Even worse, I paid an additional $1.7K that included an overpayment (her invoice was incorrect) of nearly $400. Debra has acknowledged I overpaid but says she's too broke to return the money. The quality of the work that was done is terrible: a path that was supposed to be level is not, another that was supposed to be straight is anything but that, metal path edges are wonky, and excavated soil was left all over the place, including on top of the crowns of established plants. I don't doubt that Debra can do good work but got the impression my job was small potatoes to her. I also got the impression she's manipulative, to put it mildly. Finally, it only belatedly occurred to me that Ms. Gear never represented to me that her business is licensed or insured. On jobs that require heavy lifting, mechanical equipment, etc: homeowner beware.
