They came in on time and have come back to fix minor problems thar came up afterwards. They created a plant pallete using plants that were deer resistant and effective for the area they were planted in, then tore our and redid all of our landcaping including a redo of the irrigation system, and fixed our hardscaping. Highly recommend.

We were on a limited budget after completely tearing up all of our landscaping for a septic issue and Dan did an amazing job. He was compassionate and timely. He obviously cares about his craft and it shows. Thank you so much!!!

We had a retaining wall and walkway built by Dan and his crew. I tried to get three bids, but Dan…read morewas the only guy that showed up when he did he would, and he explained how his bidding process worked, so we went with him. He estimated it would take three days...and it did. He was 'to the penny' on his estimation. He and his crew were polite, kind, and professional. They showed up either early, or on time every day. They did a great job of cleaning up every night, and in the end, they did an amazing job. As long as we live in this house, if we ever need that type of work done again, there is nobody else that I would call. Top notch pro!!!!

We couldn't be happier with our new backyard, and it's all thanks to David, Obed, and the awesome…read morecrew! My wife and I bought our first home, a new construction, and moved in with our 9-month-old daughter to nothing but a backyard of dirt. We were completely new to this. David and Obed were amazing from start to finish! They gave us sage advice on design choices including pavers vs. concrete, islands shapes that would work, and types of plants. Most importantly, they ensured our vision was at the heart of the project. They took a dirt pile and built our family's dream backyard. 5 stars, highly recommend!

L4U have done three large projects for us. Each of them looks as good as they day they were built,…read moreand none of them has moved 1/16". Darrin and co. just completed a fourth project for us: an artificial turf play area for my kids. As always, L4U's work is immaculate, and their team is friendly and attentive to detail.

The job was finally completed, but not without owner, Daren, kicking and screaming. I will never…read morehire Daren again and do not recommend him. Situation: I hired Daren at over twice the bid of others as thought he would do the job right and good timing. Our garage /yard was flooded from an ocean storm surge with several inches of sand and we needed cleanout leaving areas "nice and clean" Reality: the place was a mess when I inspected to give Daren payment. There was still sand/debris of up to 4 inches in multiple areas throughout. You could barely see the red pavement below all the sand still in garage and backyard and entry areas) (see photos). When I requested Daren finish sweeping sand away, he became combative and said he did the best he could and would not do more. He threatened to sue me and put a lien on my house if I did not give him a check immediately. After I refused to pay him till job was finished per our contract, he reluctantly sent his guys to finish job. When I gave Daren his check and said how disappointed I was with his earlier threats, he continued to insult me ( and my neighbor who was with me as well). All I was looking for was a thank you for my business and a sorry he did not do the job right the first time. I have never experienced this lack of professionalism in my 30 plus years working with contractors. That is why a one star even though job was finally completed. Buyer beware.

Then his boss says will stuff blows around like he did not care. I had to explained I told his employee to stop and he kept going.

And again when I talked with the guy that understood me his tongue in cheek apologetic attitude just did not work for me. You get what you pay for.

He worked well with our landscape designer and other subcontractors that were working outside too. He followed the plans and was flexible when needed.

HANDS DOWN the best service experience we have managed to get out of Santa Cruz. We have struggled…read moreto find people to JUST DO THEIR JOB but Athenour & Sons was wonderful! They bid quickly, came when they said they would (GASP! In Santa Cruz, that is a huge boon), and even handled an unexpected yellow jacket nest emergency (and delay) with aplomb (eeks!). We are VERY happy with the job they did. We basically wanted our whole horrendously overgrown yard stripped down to zero leaving only succulents & trees, with weedcloth and mulch laid out. It's beautiful and they managed it in two days! If we ever decide to actually landscape (or, from reading other reviews, lighting and drip system), they will be our first call!

Nikos and his crew at Terra Bella Landscaping are truly the 'Dream Team!' From the design plans to…read moreimplementation, things went smoothly and the work was even done before my deadline. My vision was of an English Garden and a South of France aesthetic. We met several times and there were at least two design changes until we reached the final design, including the specific plants such as annuals, perennials, fruit trees, roses, aromatic vines, herbs, hydrangeas, ground covers, etc. His crew were on time, polite, and cleaned up after each day's work. In my conversations with Nikos, he mentioned the idea of an 'edible garden,' which could introduce different textures and colors to the yard. I must admit that I was not keen on mixing my lovely garden with vegetables, however, our yard gets the most sunlight in the middle section of the garden so it appealed to me. Nikos mentioned the work of Rosalind Creasy in her book 'Edible Landscaping,' and even gave me the book! Once I saw the ideas in the book and how they could mesh nicely with my English and French garden vibe, I realized I could have it all: a beautiful multicolored and fragrant garden with 'farm to table' capabilities. I couldn't be happier, and I highly recommend Terra Bella Landscaping for your gardening needs!

I hired this company to prepare my house for sale, and it turned into a nightmare. They promised a…read morelist of services but did less than half of what was agreed. The one thing they focused on -- scraping the driveway -- was communicated as an extra cost, but they never told me how much it would be. I didn't find out until after the fact that it ate up nearly my entire budget. I already had quotes from other companies for a fraction of what they charged. The results were just as bad. I had taken my own before-and-after photos, and they clearly showed benches knocked over, trash left behind, and areas that looked worse than before. The company didn't provide any proof of work themselves -- just told me it was done and expected me to believe it, even though my pictures showed otherwise. My realtor confirmed it didn't look like much had been done. In the end, I had to spend another $3,000 to hire someone else to finish the work they were supposed to do. On top of that, the owner repeatedly called and threatened to put a lien on my property instead of working with me to resolve things fairly. If you're considering this company, beware: they underdelivered, overcharged without being upfront, and left my property in worse shape than before.

When I asked the supervisor to have them come back and complete it his communication skills were lacking and somehow he became angry with me.
