    Axel and his team were Phenomenal!!!…read more I had the privilege of buying a home that was built brand new, from the ground up by this company! I've been here almost 2 years now and anytime I need anything, I call them! I want the same quality and attention to detail that already exists here. I had to have a cinderblock wall added to and 16 podocarpus trees planted on my side yard. The wall turned out great and was completed within 2 days and all of the trees, plus the wood planter border were completed in one day!!!! Unbelievable! They even tied everything into the original sprinkler system and all took place without even the slightest hiccup . Now they're coming tomorrow so I can see about putting professional lighting all throughout the front and back yard! If you want it done fast and right, go with these guys! They are not the cheapest, but they are reasonable and worth every red cent penny . Thank you to Jereme, Axel and the entire team

    Like most customers, we got several quotes from various companies to do the work. Axel and their…read morecompany were the only ones who were timely, broke down the cost of work well, and responded to our questions and requests. He listened. He made recommendations but he never pushed. During the duration of the project, Axel would stop by to ensure the crew was on schedule. Any requests that we had were discussed in real time which helped the crew stay on schedule. Any small changes that we had did not require a change order or additional purchase order before moving forward. Communication was great. We would 100% recommend Cutting Edge Landscape. Thanks for making our vision come to life!

    Excellent work at a fair price that's Castillo Landscaping. We researched several Orange County…read morelandscaping companies and felt for what was being offered the prices were too high and so happy to have found Julio and his team!Julio, his dad and Kevin were absolutely wonderful and considerate and thoughtful of our property. We had our backyard grass replaced after many years of much needed work and they also were able to clear out a lot of the extra greenery that grew during the rainy season. They did an absolute phenomenal job and Julio also texted us detailed care instructions on our new sod/grass and programmed our sprinkler system! So thoughtful! Give them a chance.

    We've worked with Julio and his team on several projects over the past couple of years and they've…read moreconsistently met our expectations. They helped us update our backyard by installing decomposed granite around a large tree, pouring a concrete slab, and landscaping the surrounding area. When another contractor applied the wrong stain to our fence, Julio stepped in to correct the mistake. He was patient, communicative, and worked with us to get the color right. We recently had someone from the company do some landscaping. The work was satisfactory, though the quote felt quite high. I would suggest requesting an itemized breakdown of plant costs and labor. I also asked for quotes on landscape lighting, concrete work, and ongoing plant maintenance, but never received a response, which was disappointing.

    MC Landscaping did a wonderful job with our front and backyard project. Sal, Johnny and crew worked…read moreon our project. Sal came out to talk to me about the project. He is friendly, honest, easy to talk to ,and knows his plants! We had a drip system installed and new plants put in four planter boxes in the front yard. Looks great. In the backyard, a drip system was installed and new rock was put in the planter box.There were 2 incidents with the backyard project that left me unhappy. The first one was the wrong rock was being put in. I told the crew to stop and I called Sal. He and Johnny were on it immediately. Sal had the crew remove the rock, he found a new place that had the rock i wanted and it was delivered and the crew put it in. That was a long hard day of work for them. The next day I noticed a small area did not get the new rock and my planter was damaged. I called Sal, sent him photos of the planter and rock. He said he would take care of it and he did! the next morning Johnny and crew were back bright and early with more rock and materials to fix the planter. Sal is a man of his word.He takes pride in his work and wants his customers happy. If you are not happy with something, Sal makes it right. I highly recommend MC Landscaping. Thank you Sal, Johnny and crew!

They were incredibly…read moreprofessional, attentive to our needs, and truly helped bring our vision of a backyard oasis to life. We received four different estimates, all in a similar price range, but what set McLandscape apart was their exceptional customer service. Their attention to detail and commitment to clear communication throughout every stage of the project made all the difference. We always felt informed, heard, and confident in the process. The final result exceeded our expectations--we absolutely love our new backyard! A special shoutout to Leo, the foreman, who was a huge plus throughout the project. He was always available, responsive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We highly recommend McLandscape to anyone looking for quality work and a team that truly cares about their clients.

    I hired Timeless Ponds and Fountains to restore a fountain that had been reconfigured and…read moresubsequently failed. The job required reinstallation of a basin that had been removed, replumbing the fountain to move a pump into the basin, and then providing a replacement cover for a part that had been disposed of by accident. The work was done in pretty much one morning and was performed excellently. The basin was set and carefully leveled, the fountain plumbing was addressed, and everything is working great again. Chris did this work on a pretty warm day but really paid attention to the details. Now to add some river stones and plantings around the edge.

    I contacted this company for help with an outdoor fountain pump issue and sent photos of the setup…read moreas requested. They replied that they would have to pass on the job, without offering any explanation, referral, or guidance. I understand not every company takes every job, but the response felt dismissive and unhelpful, especially after I had taken the time to send details and photos. Based on this interaction, I would not contact them again. Update: Matt called me personally to apologize for the brief response and explain that my fountain issue was outside the scope of what they could take on. He also gave me helpful advice about who to contact next. I appreciated the follow-up and it made me feel much better about the whole interaction. Although they weren't able to help with my specific issue, I respect that Matt took the time to call and clarify things.

    I received a bunch of different quotes from landscapers, but Alfredo and Jose were by far the most…read moreprompt, reliable and competitive from a pricing perspective. Not only that, but Jose had a great vision of what plants went where and how many we would need. My wife mentioned that she liked how he gave his opinion on certain plants or ideas, but without being dismissive or overbearing. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any friends or family looking to get work done on their backyard, as their service is excellent.

    I would love to give this company a better review and am happy to edit it if things change…read more So let me tell you the reason for the 2 star review and why it may be so different then the norm. I hired De'Guerrero Design in late October to do a front year makeover. What was requried in the makeover is as follows: 1. taking out a lot of dirt, some big rocks, and some dead plants from our front yard. 2. prepare the ground and put pavers along with rocks in 2 area, and in the third area (largest) put in artificial turf. 3. build a fence with a gate (3 foot tall) made of metal supports and wood slats. 4. Putting in a larger gate to replace one we already had to match the new fence going in. (what I thought was part of the project but ended up not part of it... see later notes on this) I also made it very clear when in conversation with them and other competitors that everything needs to be 100% done and fixed by Thanksgiving as we are having a large gathering at our place and we wanted it to look great by that time. They agreed to this and said it would be no problem to have everything done and good before then. First day they said they were going to start they showed up at around 3 pm and were there for a few hours before finishing. This isn't a bad thing, just a note. As long as things finish when they say the are going to, all is good. Things proceeded pretty well for the most part. 1st problem came when they started bringing the fence in. It was made as I said, but they said they they "added" a bottom horizontal slat (which I stated from the beginning saying I wanted) and because they added that from the original design, it was going to be an extra $400 from quoted, which I didn't quite understand because that is how I explained I wanted the fence originally. This wasn't a huge deal though, as I am used to changes in costs as construction is done. 2nd problem: As stated in point 4 of original plan, I expected that the quote included replacing the larger gate door to match the fence that they were putting in. They put a gate into our contract but they argued that that was the small gate in the front of the fence and adding a matching gate to replace our gate would cost an addition $1,500-$2,000, which was outside of our budget so we declined. Even with those two things, everything else seemed to be going well, they were working fast, and replied quickly with their communications. They have said many times that they would not be done till we were completely happy. They finished Friday, November 7th. Well I say finished in the sense that everything was put in. However, there were a few problems. Problems they said they would fix as it was their fault. Here are the problems that have happened only a few days after installing the fence. There were a few other problems, but they fixed them, like they installed the door handle incorrectly and they forgot to make a hole for the handle. The following problems have yet to be fixed 1. Bent boards. There are two boards that are bent out about 4 inches past the rest of the boards. 2. Before staining and installing the boards, they didn't think to take off all the labeling on the wood, such as skew marks, company labels and the such. There are 7 on the outside and 6 on the inside. This totaled 13 in all. 3. the metal has already started to scratch and rust due to normal wear and tear. like closing the door. This is 1 week after installation. There was another spot they scratched up from their installation as well. I communicated this from 11/6- 11/8. I was promised multiple times that it would be finished before Thanksgiving. The first promise was for 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, Then they said, they were busy with other clients and would help me the following week (1 week before Thanksgiving) and still promising it would be done before Thanksgiving. That week before (11/17-11/24) they didn't reply till Wednesday saying they would be there later in the week. They never came. I asked several times with no response till the day before Thanksgiving (11/26) asking for specific numbers and pictures of what needs to replace and to send it to another number. I sent it to both the new number as well as the one I have been in communication since. After this, they have been ghosting me and for 5 days now I have tried to call and text (leaving voicemails as well) trying to get a hold them but have received nothing back. I have not been rude in any of this and have been asking kindly and they have yet to fulfill many of their promises. It is now 12/1 in the evening and no response from them as of yet. I will update this post as well as change the stars if any of this changes and if they are able to fix their mistakes. Here's to hoping they will. I guess my lesson for the day is never give final payment before they have fixed the issues they have messed up and in that I will say that was my mistake.
