I got a couple of quotes through Yelp, but ultimately decided to go with Kay Green -- and I'm so glad I did. It took Young and his crew about a day and a half to complete the project. I live in a townhouse community, and they were very respectful of the shared space. They did an excellent job cleaning up the carport area they used for their equipment and materials. We ran into a few unexpected issues during the project, but Young was always upfront about what was happening and communicated his solutions clearly. His recommendations were thoughtful and turned out great. I would definitely use Kay Green again for any future landscaping projects and will happily recommend them to family and friends!

Kay Green Landscaping has all 5 star reviews, that's why I went with them, I had them plant some…read moreplants and a tree for me and transplant a couple of other plants that were beautiful and doing well. They ruined and broke numerous branches while admitting that these plants are very delicate. They rushed the job that should have been at least two hours and finished in one hour. I should have stopped them after the owner told me to go inside and they will let me know when they were done. You never tell someone that's paying you $500 dollars to take your time and do a professional job to go inside. I should have told him to get the F off of my property and hired someone else. I would have been better off hiring men from Home Depot. Totally unprofessional, rushed the job, ruined a couple of plants and didn't give a shit how it looked, even after I showed the owner the damaged plants and all the broken branches only to find more as the branches dried out in the weeks to come. He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing. I've waited weeks to write this review, in hopes that the job would look better, but it doesn't. Thanks a lot, KAY GREEN LANDSCAPING FOR DOING A SHITTY JOB AND TELLING ME TO GO INSIDE. I should have kicked your ass to the curb and told you to take a hike.

UPDATE 5/16: Shortly…read moreafter posting my review on 5/10 I received a text response from the company. In addition to explaining that it's busy season and that they are running behind on generating quotes, Eriberto included a promise to send the quote by EOD 5/12. If it's going to take some time to provide a quote, why not tell me up front or as soon as it becomes apparent that business tasks are getting backed up? I've updated the review score from 2 to 3 because I did receive a quote on 5/12. I'm unable to rate any higher based on the overall interaction, primarily that the responses from the company only came after I posted Yelp reviews. THIS IS MY REVIEW FROM 5/10: The company is non-responsive. I do not recommend requesting a bid from them for any landscape improvement projects. This was my experience: I left a voice message asking for callback on 4/23. No return call. I left a voice message asking for callback on 4/24. No return call. I tried calling 3 times on 4/29 and none of the calls went through. I posted a 3 star Yelp review at the end of the day on 4/29. Less than 1 hour later someone named Eddie called me, apologized, and asked if I would send him my project information via email so he could respond with a bid. Eddie texted me a couple hours later with the email address I should send to. He also asked me to remove my 3 star Yelp review. On 4/30 I emailed him my project scope of work (summary and details) as well as job site photos. I also obliged and removed my Yelp review. I felt they deserved another chance. Today is 5/10. Nobody ever got back to me. I am done with them. My review is now 2 stars.

We tried to schedule a 60 minute consultation with Matt with the intent of gauging whether we…read moreshould engage his full design service. We ran into some difficulties at the start due to a last-minute cancellation by Matt and some unresponsiveness through email. When we voiced our concerns, Matt really stepped up to ensure our concerns were met. He immediately refunded us for the cost of the service, and he offered to meet with us at no cost. We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!

Andy continued the look and feel he gave to our backyard, extended our front porch another few feet, and really upgraded the curb appeal with the stonework and plantings. Most importantly, he saved my butt from another contractor that had to perform some work at the same time. Andy went to extraordinary lengths to help me ensure that this "other guy" got his portion of the job completed correctly. I have no doubt that if Andy wasn't there watching out for me, the situation would have ballooned into a lawsuit. In addition to top-shelf craftsmanship, his crew is courteous, friendly and very capable. No problems, no delays, and no hassles. Can't go wrong with this guy!

We were thrilled with Andy and his team. We had just finished a house remodel and our yard was a…read moredisaster. Andy created plans for a patio with a raised planter, a short retaining wall to fix our falling fence, and front and rear landscaping. He listened to exactly what we wanted, showed a few additional options, but didn't push us in any direction we didn't want to go. We got bids from 3 contractors and Andy came in slightly higher than the others, but nobody else included or even mentioned critical things like proper drainage, removing the top soil that was a mess from the construction, etc. Andy had no interest in skimping on quality just to match another bid and I respect that. Andy is extremely responsive and is on site every day. The quality of work was incredible without us having to mention anything. The few small things we noticed and brought to his attention were already on his list of things to fix. I wish all contractors were like this! The documentation for billing and progress was extremely clear, change orders were easy, and he actually beat his schedule for both start date and total time to complete. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andy to anyone.

For instance they claimed the front yard was 80% complete (agreement was to complete landscaping with plants, mulch). Picture below on a front yard that was claimed as 80% complete landscaping. We found out that many of the parts they claimed were complete were not. Including missing irrigation lines. Missing valves. Un-connected irrigation with orphan pipes left in the ground. The pavers were installed partially but they used the wrong sand filler (cheaper sand versus polysand). We found this out afterwards even though they agreed to use polysand. Additionally the quality was terrible where pavers were not braced well, some pavers were un-even causing dangerous bumps to trip on. Many of the things we confirmed to be included were ignored. When we asked for drawing or schematics to show us the pipe works their verbatim response was "You know exactly why we ran they drainage and sprinklers, why do you need it?" So we don't know the layout of the partial work that was done and they have refused to provide drawings Additionally, they damaged parts of our house (downspouts, pool coping) so we have been left with costly repairs from their damage. After many messages of trying to get them to finish the components and repair the damage they ignored for now 8 weeks and counting . We recommend to avoid this landscaper until they can improve quality, service, reduce damages, and truthfully represent work completed.

If you want to over pay for unfinished and poor quality work, (pray that they'll finish at the end when they already got most of your money), then this is your guy.

We hired Earthcare Landscaping to install a design in our backyard in August 2015. This included…read moreleveling and amending the soil, installing drip irrigation throughout including for California native plants and a small blue fescue lawn, installing a small paver area, and refinishing our deck. Our plant irrigation has held up well, though most of the plants did not survive and we ended up replacing them ourselves with other plants. As I recall they were polite, punctual, and generally responsive. We had two major problems. Since the install three years ago, about 1/4 of our lawn has dies each year--slowly spreading from one side of the lawn to the other. Recently, we discovered the lawn with bubbling puddles of water in 4-5 places, and bone dry in others. The underground irrigation here is a total failure and unrecoverable, and so we have turned off the water there totally. As soon as we did, our water bill dropped dramatically. I am including pictures of the puddles. Additionally, at the time of our original service they claimed that they had someone experienced in refinishing decks. The final product was a mess, with uneven stain application, spattering, and poorly prepared wood. They agreed to reimburse us to hire someone else, which we appreciated. The painting company we hired was absolutely shocked at how our deck was done by Earthcare. It was a big effort for the company we hired to first undo, and then redo, the work that had been done by Earthcare. We would not hire Earthcare Landscaping again nor would we recommend them to friends.

Deva was very patient with me as we fine-tuned the landscape design to get it just right. Lisa and the crew kept right to the schedule and communicated with us very well. It can be a little unnerving to make so many changes and to see stone stairs being built right next to brand new sliding glass doors, but the work was impeccable. We haven't needed to use the irrigation system yet because we got lucky with all of the rain. All of our plants have survived so far, and seem to be thriving. I think this is where it pays to know a bit about your yard and to keep an eye on things to make sure plants a where they will do well and are getting the right amount of water and sun. I am very, very happy with their work and recommend them highly. The pictures honestly don't even quite do the work justice - its hard to capture in a photo.
