    Backyard. DG & landscaping lights.
    Jyro S.

    The bidding process Let me just start by saying that I reached out to 4 landscaping companies for bids. Its a time consuming process, but I wanted to get pricing and get a feel for the company. The process itself was painful. 1 never called me back, 1 never showed up, 1 took more than expected to get me the estimate back and said the work would take 3 weeks to complete. K5, was referred to me by an acquaintance, and they actually came in cheaper than the competitor, completion time of 1 week, and had the quote back to me within a few days of walking through. Isaiah was a good note taker. Throughout the process, we made some minor changes based on feedback but they really stuck to our budget, and documented everything in the invoice for transparency. The crew The crew was amazing. They showed up on time and left on time everyday -- no half day or short days. They were courteous and they checked in with me for the little things and made some professional suggestions (It did help that I was working from home during covid). Open to feedback (hopefully I didn't annoy them) and extremely communicative. Quality We already had turf, and they did a good job of protecting the turf. They definitely did some quality work, these guys work hard. They did NOT cut any corners. As part of the process, they told me to check out the lights as night to make sure the setup was good. they missed a tree landscaping light that was already existing, and they had to get some tools to fish out the cable under the turf and connect, and then the next day there was another light they missed, and the had to find the cables to fix the existing lighting with the new lighting. They were very receptive to the feedback, and were like "no problem, we'll get if fixed". Work they did included: restucco our old brick wall landscaping lighting, including fence lighting remove existing landscaping, including 2 palm tree stumps level ground Install weed barrier, river rocks, drought tolerant plants moved plumerias DG (decomposed granite) & drainage propane hose under the DG for our firepit filled in gaps with cement in the existing rock (please note they did warn me that the color wouldn't be an exact match) If your thinking about doing a bid, definitely include these guys. I'll check back in a year, and update this based on how everything is holding up.

    Rain already washed the decomposed granite away after the first time it rained.

    Although Isaiah was super friendly at first when he came out for the quote, I asked him if he could seal the decomposed granite with a stabilizer spray, but he insisted that if it was compacted right, there would be no need. As you can see by the pictures, that is not true. I then asked him if he could come back and fix it. At least refill and patch in the holes. He emailed back and we set a date and time, but HE NEVER SHOWED UP. Then I emailed him back to see maybe we can reschedule, but he stopped replying to me and that was that. My backyard still looks like this and is getting worse every time it rains.... I'm not one to write angry posts, but this really got me angry. I would NOT RECOMMEND him.

    Isaiah and his team were GREAT! From receiving the quote, to completing and finishing the job, they were communicative and efficient! We had a wooden privacy fence installed. On one side, the wooden fence was being placed on top of a retaining wall also being built. Isaiah and his team even worked around our timing of having that retaining wall completed so that post installation for the wood fence was done correctly. I am very pleased with their work! Everything looks great!

    The promised "fast spreading ground cover" a year later.

    A year ago I hired Isaiah to fix some irrigation issues we were having and do some planting in the backyard. The irrigation work was done well enough, but the planting was terrible. He promised me a fast growing and spreading ground cover, and a year later it looks awful and there is less than 50% coverage. His crew also took out a fully producing, but overgrown lemon tree that I did not agree to and the fruit trees they planted instead have not grown at all in a year's time. He also planted two avocado trees, and one of them is thriving, while the other one is basically dead. They are both on the same irrigation system that he originally installed, and I followed his feeding/fertilizer recommendations. When I asked him to come back out a year later and take a look at both the fruit trees and the ground cover, he missed the first appointment and was a no-show no call. He did come out the next day but basically just shrugged his shoulders and said that what he is seeing is acceptable and how he would have expected it to look. He said he would ask about the avocado tree from his "expert "and also would get back to me with an estimate to replace a sprinkler valve. I have not heard back from him yet, but at this point I would rather hire someone else to fix the work. From the attached pictures, you can see why I am extremely unhappy.

    K5 made my dream pergola come to life!

    I'm grateful we went with K5 Landscaping for our backyard remodel. Isaiah was communicative and his team knowledgeable. I had another landscape professional come out for a bid, and it was clear pretty quickly that Isaiah understood my vision for the backyard so much better than the other person. He listened, offered his professional advice... and it came out great! Isaiah was also understanding of our budget for the project. He worked with us to accomplish our priorities, without pressure to over-extend what we wanted to invest in the project. I'll def use K5 again for our next landscaping project(s)!

    We just finished up our landscaping project with Isaiah and his team. Isaiah was able to achieve what we wanted even with all the changes we made throughout the process! We're super happy with his timeliness, attention to detail and thorough communication with the project. We were able to see our vision come to life and have a space in the front and backyard that we can finally enjoy. Thank you to the team for creating this beautiful space for us!

    Irrigation issue that flooded near new paver patio and home

    There have been more cons than pros working with K5 Landscaping. Pros: fair bid, friendly to work with. Cons: lack of attention to detail, damage to personal property (i.e. hose, tree, garden box during demolition), never received check as promised for damaged hose, payment check was cashed before completion of project, lack of follow-up regarding some issues, employees arguing with one another while I was working from home, and significant delays. As you can read from other reviews, there is a lack of follow-through once the project is in process. The communication started off great, however, as the project was nearing an end the communication also dissipated. We had several issues during the project such as irrigation issues that could have been avoided (see picture) and the decomposed granite not being compacted well... it is like walking at the beach with your foot sinking into several areas of the decomposed granite because they did not compact it in layers as they mentioned would occur. We also have a tree that had its roots chopped off during the DG installation and is now slowly dying. I have attempted to reach out to K5 several times since they cashed my check without completing the project, and have received several different dates that they would come by to address the issues. It has been almost six weeks without any resolution, as the response has been that they are busy with other projects but I also was told through text that I was "first on [his employee's] schedule when he comes back." The gentleman who completed the paver patio was great to work with and put a lot of time into the project. My experience was far less than ideal and I would not recommend them when there are so many other companies available. Your project will not be a priority, it will just be one amongst many projects that they will try to complete.

    New patio using the old pavers!
    Jason S.

    Isaiah was a great communicator and kept me in the loop at all times via text and phone. We even did my quote via FaceTime. He completed a paver job for me with lots of detailed cuts, and he was the best priced with the best service I have found. He is honest and doesn't cut corners! Highly recommend for your next landscaping adventure.

Sam (co-owner) scheduled a visit to see my yard, and consult with me on options and suggestions on everything from what turf he suggested, to what direction to lay the turf to optimize the viewing angles, to taking questions from me on what kind of base and equipment he would use and the warranty on the work (5 years). Requested a spec sheet of the turfs to pick from and ran the one I liked through AI to see how good it was and it came back better graded than the ones offered by other installers I was talking to. 2. Quoting happened right afterwards and the price came in competitive so I signed. Scheduling of the work was swift and I was able to get on their docket within 1-2 weeks. 3.

Then waited for the turf to get delivered and spent a good hour treating the turf and preparing it to be laid down. Then the base materials came and crushed it as I had expected with a plate compactor. They got the entire job done in 1 day from about 8am-6pm, and it had been estimated at 2 days Highly recommend Sam and his Turf&Sons crew!
