Eric's crew was professional and friendly and very pleasant to have around. Eric kept us well informed as to the progress and finished the job on time and with great attention to detail.

First off...read the reviews of everyone else and you'll see a pattern. Great work all around…read more Their is one bad review for response time for a quote (from Irvine) and one unsatisfied customer in LB. No one is perfect and I am sure that holds true for Alan. But consistently, Alan gets great review. MY experience was awesome. I reached out to Alan about 1 1/2 years ago. Told him I would like a quote. He came out..talked me through everything, surveyed the yard and came back with a quote quickly. I then ran into a financial situation and couldn't do the job. Alan waited 3-4 months and called me to check on me. No pressure...just seeing how I was doing. Eventually, my finances cleared and I was ready. Alan gave me a computer design and it looked awesome. We agreed on a start date and away wen went. Alan and his guys started the job on time. Alan always kept me in the loop and I never felt like he was ignoring me. The same guys showed up every day (consistency) and Alan was very involved. Alan fixed a BUNCH of stuff in my front yard that was not even in my contract. And DIDN'T charge me for it. He replaced a few plants that didn't make it when planted...for free. He revamped my irrigation system at a reduced price. Yes...I spent over $30K on the job...but he didn't nickel and dime me and really treated me well. But here is the most important thing..Alan listens. He is NICE. He is patient. He is responsive. He is calm. My dog escaped one day and Alan IMMEDIATELY called me and we found our dog. He didn't have to do that. I am currently going through a hard time with another contractor and I called Alan up and asked him for advice. He ALWAYS answers...or calls back....or texts. In this world of shady contractors and HORRIBLE landscapers (here's looking at you SGV), Alan is awesome. Trust him with your job. You will not regret it. Oh...and my re-design is beautiful. Just like the computer design. And I have more work on the way with Alan. Fire pit...outdoor kitchen. And no one else will be doing it except Alan. And I know he'll be there when I am ready.

Alan Dunn is the best landscaper / hardscaper / designer out there…read more We have a very small patio space that we wanted to turn into an extension of our living room. After searching high and low for reliable landscapers who also had a design sense and would bother to call back over a small project, we went with Alan. As a designer myself, it was very important we went with someone who would pay attention to the details and bring new ideas to the table. Alan does that and more. He makes you as much a part of the process as you want to be. With our project probably being on the smaller side of his average budgets, we never once felt like we weren't the #1 clients. He took all the time to ensure we were in love with every aspect of our yard. We loved everything he did and feel it has added immense value to our small home, not to mention the insane compliments we get over it. I will have Alan work on every home I ever live in......hes seriously the best and makes an entire space one you never want to leave. My cat is addicted to his new space.

Mister C seems to be a bit of a troll :)…read more I have worked with Campbell Landscapes for over. No job too small! I had a stripped sprinkler head and he was able to send a member of his crew over to fix it. Easy Peesy! He did the BBQ Island in my buddy's backyard and it is an oasis of fun. I am sure his work had nothing to do with the quality of the cooking that happens, but it looks fantastic. His business is tucked away in a little slice of paradise in San Dimas just north of the Little Store. Great place to grab a cold iced tea. His yard is well maintained and it really puts a welcoming presence as you arrive for business. I was working with a high water bill and with a brief consultation and a bit of education, I learned that I was not really taking care of my landscape correctly. A couple of minutes for a lifetime of knowledge. Gene Campbell. Whadda Guy!

WARNING: YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY!!!…read more I used this contractor to do a complete landscaping job and experienced nothing but trouble. I had thought that I had done my homework by talking to several other neighbors who had used Gene Campbell to do their landscaping; however, the work he did for me ended up being so bad in many areas that I ended up having to hire another contractor to tear out some of the hardscape (concrete walks, edging and brickwork) at a huge cost to me. The biggest problem starts with the people he uses to do most of the actual work not being supervised by either Gene or his designer. I had so many hardscape features that were not straight or plumb that even Gene's own designer was frustrated with the workers. So many things had to constantly be corrected at every turn. In addition, some of the work was subbed out to other workers who were not licensed. I only found this out after one of them told me about his own issues with Gene Campbell and his frustration with how many corners were being cut. As it turned out that work was done so badly that it had to be corrected a few years later, costing me thousands more dollars. Just check out the "glowing" reviews on the Campbell Landscapes website. Which are ironically identical to the reviews that have been filtered out by Yelp. Just coincidence? Good Yelpers will be able to figure that out for themselves, just check out what I am saying. My advice is to do your homework and find a Landscape contractor who may even charge a little more money, because this one will try to lowball and then cut corners, or sneak in new charges for his sloppy work. Like I said, you may have different results, my results were terrible. For someone in business this long, where are the good reviews? Well, other than the ones filtered out by Yelp with only one review--- very suspect indeed. EDITED TO ADD: In response to the owner's comment (see below)-- Yes, Campbell Landscapes did do work on my property, (tens of thousands of dollars worth) I didn't just make that story up. The owner stated that he keeps "detailed records", well, if he is looking for "Mr. C the capo of cuisine" he obviously wouldn't have a record of that name (hint: it's just a screen name for a Yelp account). To suggest that I just made this up is a good example of how my unfortunate experience with Campbell Landscaping went and why I felt compelled to share my experience here with others as a good Yelper does. The idea here is to hopefully help other members find good businesses, and also to help reward those businesses which deserve praise for jobs well done. If you look at all of my reviews I am fair and honest. A bad review is earned just as much as a great review is earned. I tried working with this owner, but at some point you just move on. There would be no reason at this point for me to contact him; he was given every opportunity to correct issues with his work at the time-- eventually you just stop trying to fight to get things made right. What is left after that is my experience which I shared with others. If other people have 4 and 5 star results they are free to share those too. My review reflects my experience. If it had been a positive experience I would have been the first to say so and recommend this business. Again, see my other reviews. Best Regards, Mr. C .

We had a large project of a complete landscaping of our front and backyard. The landscaping included sod installation, irrigation, turf installation, plants, poles for lighting, gravel and concrete pavers/tiles.

Thank you again for helping us create our dream yard.

I finally decided to take out my grass and do a native yard. I'm not sure why I waited so long…read more Scenic View Landscape made the whole process easy and exciting. From the beginning Isaias was an ease to work with. He returned my call, talked to me about my plan, came out and measured and gave me a bid, had very fair pricing, and kept me updated on the start date. He also allowed me to meet him at the nursery to pick the plants/colors that I wanted for my yard. When Isaias and his crew started, it was a pretty quick two-day process. He and his crew were very responsive to my design ideas. I wanted a berm next to a dry riverbed to give the yard some texture. Yet, Isaias and the guys also added their expertise on things I would not have known to do and design ideas that increased the beauty of the landscape. The materials (bark, stone) are really nice quality. And they left everything clean and tidy. In the end I was happier than I ever expected. Now all I want to do is sit out front and watch the beautiful plants grow and the birds and lizards make their homes. I'll attach photos of the before and after, but seeing their work up close is really impressive. Isaias, Jose, and the wonderful crew of guys they had, made the whole experience fun and rewarding. I couldn't have wished for better results.

BRING ON THE SUPER EL NINO!…read more Joel and Sons recently completed a much overdue project at our home. For years, our outside drains were clogged, and I found myself setting up pumps during the storms to get the pools of water away from our home. Every year, I would tell myself that I would get the drains cleared. Before the rains came this past winter, I hired a company to hydro jet the pipes. They tried to clear the drains, but because they were so clogged, their equipment failed. Again, I was setting up the pumps during the rain storm. So, I researched and found Joel and Sons. I met Joel and he examined our front/back yards. He gave an excellent and fair estimate that would fix the drainage problems. Throughought the entire project, Joel sent videos of the work being performed. He and the crew went above and beyond to make sure we wouldn't have any future issues. I am so impressed by Joel and Sons, and I will call them again for future projects. More importantly, I will make referrals to my family and friends.

Veliz Masonry did a number of projects for us. They removed old, water-stained paver bricks from…read moreour front entry atrium and replaced them with new pavers, seamlessly tying into existing brickwork for a superb look. Another project we had was to remedy an efflorescence-stained faux rock wall resulting from an ill-designed waterfall feature put in by the previous owner of the house in the front entry atrium. Otelio, the Veliz Masonry owner, contacted the manufacturer of the faux rock wall and discovered a staining method that could be used to bring back the original colors and luster of the damaged wall (see photos). They did an absolutely wonderful job of restoring the wall to its original beauty and we couldn't be happier with the results, which exceeded our highest expectations. Finally we had Veliz remove about 120 lineal feet of loose or damaged brick capstone off of retaining walls in our back yard and replace them with a high end Sonorastone flat wall cap (see photo). Again, Otelio and crew did a masterful job of installation to greatly enhance the beauty of our backyard. Otelio, his sons Manny and Diego, and his brother Gerry, were the crew who did all of the work. They performed in a highly professional manner and paid attention to every detail to ensure a super high quality job. Prior the starting the work they meticulously prepped the work area to protect against damage and were very conscientious about cleanup as the work progressed. They kept to the work schedule, showing up on time each day and putting in a full day's work with excellent communication throughout the duration of the project. It's refreshing (and rare) to find such a great contractor that is so attuned to the customer's needs. Veliz Masonry is the real deal and are honest, courteous, hard-working and very talented in their trade, providing a superior product at a fair price. If you're looking for a five-star masonry contractor I highly recommend you give them a call.

My wife and I recently hired Veliz Masonry to replace some concrete that was sagging and also pour…read moresome new concrete, and I can honestly say I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. The results at the end of the project were exactly what we had envisioned - it's super clean, smooth, and exceptionally well done. What really made them stand out from all of the other quotes we received for this project was the very detailed quote, the quality of work we could see in their previous jobs (yelp reviews), and most of all the quick responses/communication. They didn't just remove my old concrete and pour new, they actually helped move and adjust parts of my sprinkler system in multiple locations so that not only would it not get damaged, but would be accessible when I need to repair/move it in the future. That level of care and attention to detail isn't something you will find with every company, and I really valued it. They worked efficiently, always arrived on schedule, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process, so I was informed at every step of the way of what was happening, and what to expect. When the job was done, they cleaned everything up like they were never here, except of course for the beautiful new concrete. The quality of their work is genuinely top-notch. They take pride in their craftsmanship and it shows. Honestly, they were worth every penny of the contract, and I'm thoroughly glad I went with them. For anyone considering concrete or masonry work, I can not recommend Veliz Masonry enough. I would absolutely not hesitate to hire them for any future masonry work and look forward to future projects with them.
