    Before and After with synthetic turf. Thanks John!
    Charlene S.

    John and his team did an awesome job! My front lawn went from the worst in the neighborhood to the greenest! Best of all its synthetic so no more watering or mowing the yard! John had replaced the turf in my backyard 2 years ago and it still looks awesome even with two big dogs running around on it everyday! I highly recommend John for landscaping! Great prices and quality work! See the before and after picture posted...

    Awesome company to work with. Showed up when promised & cleaned up after themselves! They were so kind to my dogs too. Their work is amazing, zero complaints. Everything was completed on time & looks amazing. Pricing was competitive & definitely got my money's worth! Definitely recommend!

    John and his crew put together an amazing makeover for our yard. This was a huge project for us, and this team provided more than we thought we could afford while still remaining very close to our original budget. We could not be happier with our end product or the work it took to get there. Work done: Full Backyard Remodel - Low voltage pathway/spotlights on timer - Post lighting on dimmer - Tree string lights on dimmer - Gas Firepit - Seating wall - Retaining wall extension - Proper yard grading - Artificial Turf - Decomposed Granite - Paver patio and walkway replacement - Drainage - Drip system - Rear property horizontal fence - Side property horizontal fence/gate/arbor - RV entrance gate - Drought tolerant planting - Concrete repair - Debris removal Front yard remodel - Low voltage driveway/spotlights on timer - Replaced front post light - Drainage - Drought tolerant planting - Front entry planting area redesign - Plant removal Quote Process: While quite a few of the other contractors I got quotes from either took forever or didn't provide what we asked for, John came out and did a detailed walk-through, then provided a timely quote. He was very prompt in reviewing the changes we wanted to make and worked within our budget to achieve the best results. Once we confirmed the work we wanted done, John and his team began work on the project very quickly. Daily Work: John's team, led by Armando and Felipe, could not have made a better impression on my family. They were all very polite and approachable, and were great at helping us with any changes we needed to make on the fly. The crew was on-site daily starting at 7:30a till around 3:30-4p, and were always hard at work on one part of the project or another. John was always available via phone, text, or email to answer any questions, concerns, or changes we wanted to make. End Product: The whole project, even for as large as it was, took about six weeks total. Actual work time was probably slightly less than this due to several intersecting holidays, but we were very impressed at how efficient the crew was at completing the project on time. We don't even recognize our former yard, and the new look is absolutely stunning. Everyone we've shown loves the yard, and we've already recommended John and his team to several people. If you're considering any work to be done on your property, definitely give John and his team a chance to show you what they can do. Very impressive results!

    DO NOT USE Chris Bargain Lawn Care! During the week of 7/7, he mismanaged all aspects of our…read morelandscaping project, leading us to lose over $5,000 due to improper application of synthetic turf, failure to remove old turf and decomposed granite from our yard, putting a nail through our sprinkler line, and placing sticky sand all over our pavers requiring additional cleanup. Chris was informed about the removal of turf, roots, and DG four days prior to completion, but did not respond. I had over 100 text and phone calls with his subcontractor - Boots Construction, who was rarely present and did not address the issues. One time, he left to give a quote for another job instead of staying at our house. Chris guaranteed Boots would always be on site. I spent over 25 hours supervising and fixing problems with the entire project. Chris assured me of Boots' expertise, which proved false. Despite receiving payments, Boots has not paid his crew. Chris was sent numerous pictures and text, but did not resolve any of these problems. In fact, he stated he would be unable to provide any assistance or reimbursement of any kind.... Not even a penny. * Paver problems: Boots didn't take the right samples or measurements, so the pavers were mismatched and cut poorly. The sand was applied badly, and they didn't install root barriers as promised. * Fire pit and walkway issues: The fire pit area was uneven and needed to be redone. * Mulch mess: The crew piled mulch against the plants, even though they were told not to. We had to redo all the mulch installations around 150 plants. * Crew's behavior: The crew left trash all over our yard, including pizza boxes and water bottles we purchased for lunch. Chris stated on the 6th day our yard would be left in a pristine state and the opposite happened. They even left loose razor blades that were a hazard to our dogs! * Turf troubles: Turf and DG were removed with no disposal plan, leaving our gate unusable and driveway blocked until we paid 1-800-Got-Junk for removal. Chris did not respond when contacted. The turf showed visible nail spots, uneven seams, improper cuts, and house flashing and two sprinkler lines were damaged requiring another contractor for repairs. Boots used only a third of the specified infill amount. * Root removal problems: The roots weren't removed to the agreed depth, which could cause future issues. We had to buy materials to finish the root barrier installation. * Contract and payment concerns: Chris required a 25% upfront payment on 7/2, exceeding California's legal 10% downpayment limit, citing the need for pre-July 4th material purchases. However, receipts show no materials were bought until 7/11. Chris mismanaged the job and failed to respond to calls on Thursday and Friday. Despite our contract with him, he took no direct responsibility and communicated only about payments from Monday to Saturday. The subcontractor did not handle the turf professionally, contrary to Chris's assurances. Both Chris and Boots Construction are not licensed contractors according to the California State License Board. I would give a negative star rating if possible.

It wasn't a complex job, but the the site was a giant mess, with a lot of overgrowth and debris. Michael's bid was well within my budget, and he was able to schedule the job for a time that was convenient for me. He also offered clear explanations about why the work would best be done a certain way. When it came to the work itself, his crew was outstanding. They arrived on time, kept on schedule, and cleaned up the site at the end of every work day. I have never seen such an organized, well managed job site. They were truly exemplary in all respects, but especially in regards to the quality of their work. When it comes time to replace my fence, my patio cover, or my driveway, I will definitely call Michael.

    On September 17, 2026, my wife and I met with Michael B. Moore, owner of Pacific Landscaping &…read moreMaintenance, for an estimate on a project involving plant installation, irrigation installation, re-grading, crushed rock, and a curb rock bed. He arrived on time and handed us a business card. However, the rest of the meeting did not go well for us. He spoke very quickly and looked at his phone frequently, and we felt he was not fully listening to what we wanted. When I scheduled our appointment, we sent him our designer's plan, which showed bender board separating the small rocks from the large ones, along with photographs of our property. He therefore had the full scope of work before he arrived. Yet his first statement to us at the meeting was, "This job is not so simple," which contradicted what he had said when I scheduled the appointment. He also told us the bender board was not necessary. Our property is on a slope; hence, the two different rocks would most certainly mix over time. Next, he said previous contractors' quotes had not included enough rock and recommended roto-tilling the property. He did not take any measurements before saying we would need more rock, stating he could estimate the amount by eye. When I asked whether he planned to measure, given the quantity involved, he said it wasn't necessary but agreed to do so reluctantly. During the meeting, he mentioned several times how busy he was and that he had 20 employees. He also criticized the other contractors we had received estimates from, which we found unprofessional. While my wife was still explaining what we were looking for, he said he did not want to take on the job and walked away. We found this rude. We also waited a full week between our initial contact and this meeting, and we were left puzzled as to why he bothered to schedule our appointment when he said he was so busy. I'm sharing this so other customers can factor it into their decision.

From day one, they have made us feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for. Their communication is second to none--they respond almost immediately, set up a family group chat to keep everyone informed, and are always available to answer questions. The renderings Gabriel creates are absolutely stunning, incredibly lifelike, and they offer unlimited revisions until everything is exactly right. The quality of their planning and attention to detail is exceptional. Tony immediately scheduled a meeting with the city inspector to build a relationship and ensure every aspect of the project is done correctly and up to code from the very beginning, which gave us tremendous confidence. The job site has been immaculate, the professionalism has been outstanding, and it's obvious this family-owned business truly takes pride in their work and their clients. We are still early in the project, but based on our experience so far, they have exceeded every expectation. A true 10 out of 10 experience, and we would highly recommend them. I will post an update with pictures soon

Thank you to Cesar, Gus, Tony, Carlos, Gabriel, and all of the highly skilled workers who made my dream patio come true. One year ago, a terrible storm destroyed my pergola, kitchen counter, and Grill appliances. The Rivers team exceeded all of my expectations and created a masterpiece. They took care of the concept, all design details, the permit process, the coordination of suppliers and equipment, new utilities, and the installation. The work included installing a 30' X 30' Pergola, upgrading the outdoor wall lighting, creating a rose garden, new sod on the lawn, restoring the irrigation system, restoring the landscape lighting, and of course creating a new chef's kitchen. Their design recommendations were always on target and their estimated 6-week schedule from demolition to final clean up was accurate to the day. Everything they did was professional and high quality. We will enjoy our patio and kitchen for years to come and we highly endorse and recommend Rivers Landscape and Construction for any General Contracting. Juan R.

The work they were doing straddled my property line and the guys were awesome about cleaning up my side too and making it look better than before! I called Ed and scheduled a day's worth of tree trimming, dead extensive plant removal, irrigation repair and several other ad-hoc projects I had been putting off for a long time. He and his crew showed up on time, and did a FANTASTIC job. They exceeded my very high expectations. I had a few other companies out to bid the work but after meeting Ed I knew he was the one I wanted to work with! Ed takes tremendous pride in ensuring the work is done right and anytime I had a question he was happy to give me a straight answer and I never felt like I was bothering him. I am already planning to have him back in a few weeks for additional work! If you are looking for high quality work at a reasonable and fair price - and a great customer service experience - call Ed - you won't be disappointed!
