I reached out via Facebook Messenger on their Facebook page and got a response instantly. Everyone who showed up was so incredibly nice, polite, courteous, and most importantly: PUNCTUAL. I got a received a quote the day after reaching out and the project started several days after. I have a small yard but I was still impressed with the speed to completion. My patio was completed two weeks after I had initially reached out. They talked me out of some bad tile decisions which I'm so grateful for! I'm really happy with the way my patio turned out. It's quality work!

Andy was super easy to get in contact with and came out for an estimate right away. He was able to get my wall finished just in time! Andy's team worked hard to excavate the area, install the wall, lay down new gravel and make sure to clean up the yard when they were finished. It looks absolutely beautiful and my yard was cleaner than it's ever been! I appreciate his team's thoughtfulness and hard work! I have had to go out and admire the new look several times and could not be more satisfied with the finished product. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!

Alberto and his crew did such a fantastic job I just had them back to create more planters for us. Most contractors (in my experience) don't have the drive to ensure everything is perfect and how the customer wants/expects it to be. Any time there was any deviation Alberto made sure that I was involved in figuring out what I wanted, and between Andy and Alberto it felt like a true collaboration to achieve a yard we look at as a sanctuary now. Highly recommend this company for taking pride in their work, working hard, and the value they place on ensuring their clients are involved and happy with the work they do.

We went with Picture Perfect Landscaping because they appeared to be a nice family run operation…read more It was a disaster. They sent unskilled labor to our house who began tearing up our yard in a rather random manner. One of their labourers insisted on parking his dilapidated truck in our driveway that was leaking oil everywhere. I confronted him and he apologized, but parked in the exact same spot the next day and leaked more oil. He was too lazy to walk up the driveway. They run an amateur operation. Ariel runs the construction operation and Laura translates as he speaks little to no English making communication difficult. He rarely visited the site as they (admittedly) are overbooked and can't handle the work that they have taken on. The final straw was when I came home to a guy digging a crooked trench through our existing landscaping where we wanted a retaining wall (it wasn't even straight, he was killing plants we wanted to keep, and it was in a random location). There were no measurements, plumb lines, or any delineation markers. The guy was just swinging a pick axe. I called a planning meeting and Laura came over with a drawing she had oddly plastized with no dimensions on it that looked like a child drew it. Yes, it was in crayon! We asked for a refund and they refused. Our yard is destroyed and for that we had the privilege of being taken for our $9200.00 deposit. BEWARE!

We really appreciate working with Ariel and Laura. The whole process has been smooth and we are…read moremore than satisfied. Before the job We asked a few landscapers before. Some even directly turned us down. Ariel and Laura produced a promising plan and a quote which we were happy with. We transformed a steep barren slope into flowerbeds with smart irrigation. They brought a brochure and samples so that we can select the materials that we like. During the job The crew came on time everyday. They carried their own mobile toilet so that they didn't need to borrow ours. Laura was very responsive on phone and text. They come regularly every a few days, but consulted us when there were decisions to make. We asked for additional paving during the job. They managed to incorporate that in the schedule. I could not communicate with the workers directly due to language. I didn't find that a problem. They leveled everything, which my previous landscaper never did! After the job They power washed everything and laid grass and seeds for the turf impacted by the job. Their job comes with a 10-year warranty. Laura said the warranty came with the materials and they find no reason not to pass to the customers. I really appreciate that but I haven't used it yet. We decide to work with them again for another project once I have the money.

Before work began, Jose responded promptly to my requests for changes in design, gave detailed drawings &estimates PRICE - it was a very fair price, and lower than the other bid I got for a simple rectangular design DESIGN - my requirements were a bigger patio that covers up the swamp. Jose came up with a plan that has curves to fit in well with the curves in my existing landscape, plus the swamp is gone! He gave me advice on which sizes of pavers would work well in the design. PROFESSIONALISM - every day the team was on time and left the area cleaned up. They laid and re-laid pavers until they were satisfied with the look. They spent a lot of time leveling and fixing places where water pooled on my lawn/old patio. They improved the downspout drains and crawlspace vents. Call them for your project, you'll be glad you did!

After 2 years living in our Issaquah rambler, we were tired of our grubby back yard. With a very…read moresloping hillside slumping into it, the constant roll of rocks, and puddling of runoff made the space not very enjoyable. Our small deck, and a big dirt patch was also not a clean or functional space for us or our dog - so it was time for a change. Once we set our minds to investing in a renovation, I met with 7 (yes 7!) concrete, rockery, and paver providers to discuss the projected heat their ideas, and solicit quotes. A number of the providers were visionless, one was rude, and another was wildly expensive (twice as much as any of the others). Enter Jose and J Zamora Construction. While my initial vision for the space was admittedly to have a concrete patio, with a paver retaining wall - after meeting with Jose, my mind changed. In the most genuine and non-pressuring tone possible, he educated me about the benefits of using pavers (repairability, less cracking risk, better drainage, etc). That, combined with both his understanding of the challenges of my property, as well as his unique lense on a design for our space - made Jose a stand out. I also greatly appreciated that when I expressed specific wishes, he did not take offense when those ideas didn't align with his initial recommendation. When some providers acted put-off when I said "I don't want to take out this tree" (etc.), Jose took it in stride and offered solutions rather than trying to convince me that my preference was unreasonable. After viewing our property, he was prompt, kind, and fair in his quote to us. His documentation was thorough and clear. That, along with his truly aesthetically, and functionally minded vision for our space convinced me to completely pivot from "I'm doing concrete", to "let's go with pavers". After hiring Jose, he recommended products that suited our combined vision for my yard, was transparent about potential overages, and ultimately executed a project that is beyond my dreams for our difficult space. His crew of 6 busted their behinds for 4 solid days to crack it out. They were prompt, respectful of my property and neighbors; and thorough in their daily, and end of project cleanup. They even went above and beyond to carefully re-lay our dog's invisible fence line, which was displaced in the underground drainage portion of our project. Ultimately, we're left with the addition of nearly 1000 square feet to our livable space. An area that started as a grubby dirt patch has become a clean and stunning use of space. It flows with the natural landscape, and looks cohesive with our very mid century home. We have had neighbors (known to us and new introductions) stop by with their jaws on the floor - one even saying "you've made this yard the showpiece of the mountain". Once we paint the house - our sweet little rambler will be perfection - and we have Jose to thank for so much of our exterior transformation.

Their excellent Foreman, Jovanny, and his team as well as their talented landscape designer, Elaine, did an incredible job. And Sandy kept on top of our scheduling. Everyone was nice to work with and they are professionals at their jobs. Our landscape project involved completely deconstructing our existing yard, resurfacing it to reduce a sloped hill and adding large boulders, lovely plantings, sod and a flagstone entry path. They also added a gravel path and patio area to be covered in flagstone in the future. The transformation of our yard feels like a completely different space. We love our new landscape and highly recommend Reynolds Landscape!
