The guys from COLORWORKS have done a couple of jobs for us. They did a small landscape…read moreproject. The project included fixing the beginning of the drainage pipes in the back yard. It looks beautiful now and we are very pleased. We recently called to repair a drainage pipe that another company had screwed up. The pipe was under artificial turf at the curb. They repaired the pipe asking our approval at every step. They took out a wrinkle the other company left in the turf. We would recommend COLORWORKS for any landscaping job. Our recommendation for employee of the month would be Felipe. He was on his hand and knees brushing the turf to level out the new sand. He then came back on a Saturday with a motorized brush to make sure the job was finished perfectly.

We had an excellent experience with Simple Outdoor Living. We liked that the design and…read moreconstruction phases were all done with their in-house staff. Once the design was agreed upon, we were given a price and a start date. We felt so comfortable with Bryan and his staff that we didn't even explore other bids once we had the design (which the customer owns) in place. Bryan, the owner, is very patient and knowledgeable and gives you the feeling that all the details will be taken care of. The contract was written with the amount of detail that the customer appreciates, especially with a project that involves so many elements. We especially liked working with Jonathan, our project manager, who always kept us informed and responded to our inquiries in a timely manner. We also found the employees to be extremely hard-working and friendly. They left the property clean after each work day. We would use this company again for our next landscape project.

We started with a Zoom consultation where I was able to walk him through the property and the scope of the project. Bryan is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to, making the whole process seamless. ​What stood out most was his professionalism and transparency. Even when our Zoom connection dropped, he called me immediately to finish the conversation without missing a beat. He was also very honest about the value of different tree sizes, guiding me toward the right functional solution rather than just pushing the most expensive option. It's rare to find that level of integrity!

Chris the project manager was always in communication with us and his foreman Ivan was always on site and answered any questions we had.

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!

I am fond of saying you can tell the quality of a company by how they respond when things go wrong…read more tl:dr; in the case of MC, the answer is not at all. Here are all the things that have gone wrong: I discovered the hardware they used for my lighting and my sprinkler were the base models, despite paying top doller. The owner lied on google maps claiming they put in a higher system. I posted pictures of the base models. No reply. I had to buy after market not so great adapters to get smart access to my lights and sprinklers. They put a chip in my pony wall while installing (years ago) and promised to come back to fix it. They never did. I recently found out from a neighbor who sees a part of my yard I normally don't that I have a sprinkler that is just pouring onto the walkway. That was a few days ago and I haven't had time to look at it. A good company would come out and fix it for me. Given how they haven't fixed anything else yet, I'll have to fix this myself or pay a reputable company to take a look. Half of my lights don't work. Again, I have zero hope that they will repair the lights. I had to replace nearly every plant they chose because it either didn't match my plans or because they weren't suited to the climate here and didn't survive (lest you blame me, every plant I chose to replace it with is thriving. How do you choose plants that can't survive in a region where everything survives?) The owner said on my google review that he had tried to reach me "several times" and I told him not to call.... I have been begging for them to make these things right for years.. I have had no calls. I figured out he was probably calling the wrong number and the person kept telling them that and finally said to stop calling. I sure as hell didn't say it. I would still like them to come fix the pony wall, the lighting, and the sprinklers, and make it right that I paid thousands for plants that had to be replaced within a year. Instead, they are resting on their mostly high reviews figuring mine will get buried and no one will care. Which is why I'm on yelp now as well as google. Here's what you can learn from the reviews. When things go right, MC is great. I do love the layout they created and the work by the actual workers. They were diligent and hard working. The price was high but fair given the amount of curved pavers I had in the plans, it seemed reasonable. (This is assuming there weren't so many problems.) But if you have an issue with them, good luck. Years of me leaving voicemails and reaching out to no avail. They knew about the pony wall before they even finished the project. There is ZERO excuse for not fixing that before they were done. Now years later, any work won't match well. I'm just livid at this company. 75 grand and this is how I've been treated. Unreal.

My husband and I spent the last three years slowly renovating our backyard piece by piece to save…read moremoney, hiring individual contractors for smaller projects along the way. Unfortunately, it was often difficult for others to fully understand our vision, and many things were not completed the way we had hoped. Eventually, we decided it was time to find one company that could bring our entire backyard dream to life. We interviewed four different companies, and Kiko immediately stood out from the rest. Not only was he professional and knowledgeable, but from day one he was genuinely excited about the transformation process. Having someone just as excited as we were made him feel like so much more than an ordinary contractor. Choosing Kiko gave us peace of mind knowing he would truly do his absolute best to help us achieve our dream backyard. Throughout the entire process, Kiko was transparent, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. Whenever unexpected situations came up, he always kept us informed and worked with us to find the best solution. One thing we especially loved about this company is that they have an amazing team behind the scenes specializing in every aspect of the project. At the beginning of the process, we had so many ideas floating around, and Aya, their architect, helped bring everything together beautifully. I sent her my inspiration photos, and she created a 3D rendering of our backyard that truly helped everyone visualize the final result. Kiko and Aya even came to our home to present the design, and they made changes in real time until we were genuinely happy with the plan. Even after that initial meeting, our design evolved many times, and Kiko was always patient, receptive, and attentive to all of our comments and concerns. He even made sure to preserve several of our trees and carefully relocate my banana and lime trees that I love so much. That level of care and attention meant a lot to us. Our entire backyard renovation including demolition, pool construction, inspections, and everything in between was estimated to take about six months, but the project was completed much faster than expected. His team worked so efficiently, and we were consistently impressed by their dedication and work ethic. My husband and I even went away on a two-week vacation during construction, and Kiko made sure our home was taken care of while we were gone. There were even times we would message him late at night fully expecting a response the next morning, but he would still reply. Daisy, Juan, and the rest of the hardworking crew who were part of the main construction process were also incredible to work with. Every person on the team was kind, professional, and committed to delivering high-quality work. The craftsmanship and overall quality this company provides truly is the best of the best. Completing this renovation has been one of the biggest upgrades we've ever made to our home, and my husband and I are beyond grateful to Kiko and his entire team for taking such great care of us throughout the process. Our backyard has become a beautiful oasis where we can relax and recharge after stressful weeks, and even our piggies love their new home too! When the time comes to renovate the rest of our home, we will absolutely be reaching out to Kiko again.

Working with Mike and the Sea Breeze team was truly easy breezy. I had worked with contractors…read morebefore for an in-home renovation and this experience was so much better, efficient, and organized in comparison. To be honest, it really restored my faith in landscaping contractors. I submitted an online request for a quote and the next day Mike emailed me requesting pictures of what our project wanted to include. Originally we just wanted to pull out our front yard plants and redo just the front but there is a $5000 project minimum. After deciding to redo our turf and also include our backyard, Mike came out the next week for a free in person consultation and got me a detailed quote within 2 days. The turnaround time for everything was just amazing, I've never seen anything like it. Our lot is about 3615 sq ft to give a reference point. Our project included: all the labor to demolish/uproot all of our plants including a very large 20 year old tree in the backyard + all the roots (completed in 2-3 days), redid our front and backyard turf (completed in 2 days by Backyard Golf Company), added a veneer stone and cap on our retaining wall (1 week) and replanted all our plants/installed a drip sprinkler system/installed lighting front and backyard (1 week). We have an HOA and Mike had a complete detailed plan and diagram ready for us within 3-5 days. Once HOA got back to us, the project was started within a week and finished in the estimated time frame. Workers came promptly at 8 AM and they were actively working all day not just sitting around. Very respectful, even blowing all the dust at the end of the day to keep the area clean, no garbage left anywhere. The entire project was $30,000 and there weren't any surprise or unexpected costs. Invoices are sent every week on a reasonable schedule and I just loved our experience. I'd recommend Seabreeze to anyone wanting to do their hardscape landscaping in a heartbeat!

We did not have a concrete idea of what we wanted at first but Oscar was great with helping us plan by guiding us and asking about how we wanted to use our space. He also created documents to submit to our HOA for approval, and he was able to make changes quickly when needed. Victor and the crew were on time, efficient, and timely with the work. It was greatly appreciated that everything was washed down and cleaned by the crew at the end of each day. They were also able to make quick adjustments when our neighbor had some concerns with the hedges we wanted to plant. The scope of the work included adding a concrete pad, extending our concrete patio, planting privacy hedges with drainage and auto watering system, installing artificial grass with paver walkways, and adding pebbles along the exterior wall of our house. Since we have a soft watering system, we also had them install a separate line from the main. Overall, Caliscapes OC was professional, friendly, and accommodating. We even had one of the hedge plants not doing well. We reached out to Caliscapes OC to advise us on how to revive it, and they said they would replace it. We had a good experience and would recommend!
