I found Mateos Landscaping, was able to set up a day for a visit to get a general evaluation and quote well within the same day of messaging. Cristian arrived with his brother and was very courteous, professional, and helpful with his assessment and offered many valuable insights and suggestions that me and my husband never considered before! It is very enjoyable talking with him! His prices were very reasonable, and he showed up the next day to do the work, which was VERY thorough and high quality! They did even did more than we originally planned because we were able to get our plants in unexpectedly early the previous evening. Me and my husband are extremely happy that we found this excellent company and hope to work with them for a long time to help us with our gardening and landscaping needs! highly recommend! Oh, and if there any complaints in reviews about 'bad/poor communication', sure, they might not be able to message when they're busy doing such a good job on someone else's yard (and therefore might be a bit late because of that), but if you can keep that in mind and be a little patient, you won't regret working with them!!

Had a great experience with this crew. They removed all the dirt from my sidewalk verge (about 540…read moresq ft, ~4" deep) and made the whole process easy. They showed up on time, brought the right equipment, and got the digging and hauling done quickly without tearing up the surrounding area. The grading came out clean and level, which made the rest of my project way easier. Communication was straightforward, pricing was great, and they were flexible about hauling the soil to private land instead of charging dump fees. No shortcuts, no surprises--just solid work. Would definitely hire them again.

My husband explained what we wanted and as it turned out Jose had time to do our yard within a day. He brought a full crew and they were cheerful and worked with purpose to remove old dead lawn, Install some new sprinkler system, conditioned the ground and the new dirt they brought, and the next day came back to finish the job. The next day they laid sod which was beautiful thick green and lush. The front and backyard now are beautiful with expanses of green we haven't had here for years since the drought killed our lawns. Jose and the crew did a marvelous job, we haven't stopped smiling! We absolutely recommend Bay Area Plus Landscaping because we are so happy with their work.

Marro came out put in a new sprinkler system, moved sprinklers to different locations to maxmize overages, replaced old hosing for my irrigation. He was friendly , professional, and got the job done well. I was very happy. Will use him when I am ready to do my backyard!!!

Update: First, I…read morenever blamed him for my dry grass. I told him that we had dry patches and asked him to inspect the irrigation system to determine whether there was a coverage issue. There is a significant difference between asking an irrigation professional to diagnose a problem and accusing him of causing it. Second, bringing up the distance between Morgan Hill and Livermore is irrelevant. His response makes it sound as though traveling to my property was somehow a favor to me. He chose to accept the job. I did not force him to take the work or make the drive. In fact, he had previously performed approximately $2,000 worth of work at this exact same property, so he was fully aware of the location when he accepted this job. Unfortunately, his work this time has caused me more trouble and expense, not less. He acknowledges that he decided my existing micro-sprinklers were unnecessary so he cut them on his own will. I did not authorize him to cut and remove numerous components of my irrigation system. Whether he believed they were old, defective, or unnecessary is beside the point. That should have been discussed with me before anything was removed. I am the homeowner and should have been given the choice regarding what was removed from my property. I am still completely baffled that a professional would cut and remove parts of a customer's existing irrigation system without first obtaining permission. His communication afterward has been equally disappointing- just as you can clearly see from his response. I contacted him directly about these concerns before posting my review. My message showed as read immediately, and I have a screenshot documenting it. He did not respond until after I posted my review. He had also previously told me in person that business was very slow, yet after the review was posted, his explanation for not responding was that he was extremely busy with a large project. I am still a paying customer. What makes my job any less especially when you say your business is very slow right now. Did he forget I have cameras all over my house? Given his response, his unwillingness to acknowledge my actual concern, and the way he has handled a legitimate customer complaint, I no longer feel comfortable allowing him to return to work on my irrigation system. I originally requested a refund of the $185 I paid but he's clearly not worth it. I have contacted another company to fix all the work he has done incorrectly. My experience with him has been that he is pleasant and accommodating when securing the work and payment, but when I subsequently raised concerns about that work, communication became extremely difficult and defensive. Based on my experience, I found his customer service, communication, and handling of this situation highly unprofessional and rude. Original Post: I've had two experiences with the owner, and unfortunately I would not recommend his services. The first time, I felt I was overcharged for the work performed. However, he assured me that if I had any issues afterward, I could contact him and he would come back and take care of them. Based on that assurance, I gave him another chance. When I actually needed an issue addressed, his attitude completely changed. Instead of standing behind what he had previously told me, he was dismissive and unwilling to help without charging me again. The second time, I paid for five sprinklers to be repaired and for maintenance of the rest of the system. He said he would thoroughly clean them because water builds up and they don't spray as they should after a while. I was there while the work was being done. The five sprinklers essentially had their top heads changed, and I did NOT see the maintenance performed that I was charged for. When I went over all the heads, I can see he didn't address them and told me to rotate them. The worst part, he cut several sprinkler lines around my trees without asking me first. He told me it sprays better like that. I was in total shock that someone thinks they can cut off sprinklers without discussing first. He put a pile of them on the side and showed me all the cut lines. After his work, one sprinkler is now shooting water extremely high, and the pressure in my system seems to be off after adjustments were made at the main control. I contacted him explaining these issues. He read my message and did not respond. He is a dishonest person and will overcharge giving you a random number without structured pricing. Beyond the workmanship and pricing, his attitude when there is a problem is extremely disappointing. It's easy to say you'll stand behind your work when collecting payment, but my experience was very different when I actually asked him to address a problem. After paying him twice, dealing with unresolved issues, and receiving this type of customer service, I will not use him again and would not recommend him to any homeowner or business.

Long overdue review…read more After I completed my retaining wall in our backyard, it was time to move onto finishing the yard with full pavers and artificial turf. I met with a few different contractors, and after meeting Jose and his team, I went with Simancas Landscaping and was very happy with the decision. I actually created the plan myself for the backyard, and reviewed it with Jose and it came out exactly as I had hoped! I did all the landscaping myself, but I am sure that his team could've also done that as well. We also decided to pave over our concrete California Room to make everything cohesive, and the finished product came out better than expected. Jose was very communicative throughout the project, and when problems arose, we worked together to move past them. I would definitely recommend Simancas for paver and artificial turf installation!

Endless Summer Landscaping is a wonderful local business with two generations of experience for…read morelandscaping, irrigation and custom fencing/deck projects big or small. Really can't recommend them enough and had such a great experience working with Edgar and his small, experienced team. We requested multiple quotes from small and large landscaping companies before going with Edgar and Endless Summer. We chose Endleess Summer because Edgar was easy to work with, provided transparent pricing (and was one of the lower bids, approx $1,800 less than some of the larger companies that leverage subcontractors), worked up a contract and guaranteed the irrigation updates and sod for several months, and Edgar, the main contractor, either personally did the work or oversaw the work himself with his two longtime partners, which ensured everything we discussed was executed properly and timely. They are fully bonded and insured and beyond that basic requirement they always left the worksite extremely tidy at the end of each day which we appreciate, and cleaned the area thoroughly at the end of the job. The work was done in less than three days which involved turning three inches of soil, installing gopher wire, redoing some of our older pipes and valves, installing sod, new sprinkler heads, edging, weed cloth, drip lines and a few of our drought tolerant plants in the very front. Edgar also came back a few times to ensure everything was growing in well and provided detailed instructions to ensure the sod came in well, it's now been two months and everything is flourishing. As an added bonus, Edgar recommended a couple local nurseries we would have never found without his help, JC nurseries in particular, with locations in Gilroy and San Martin, is a wonderful gem with by far the healthiest decorative grasses and shrubs we've found and super competitive prices, offering free or low cost local delivery. Our kids and pup love our lush front lawn and the neighbors definitely appreciate the upgrade too. We will look forward to working with Edgar again when it's time to upgrade our property line fence and landscape the back! I use yelp but there are also some great photos of their work on Google and they provide free in person estimated for the South Bay Area.
