I will tell you after multiple experiences re-sodding this back grass and watching our money just wasted on failed attempts toward a green and healthy lawn, we decided to spend a little more money to get it done right. We definitely got what we paid for with Crest. They dug down deep enough to break up a mass web of roots that were suffocating the grass, they reinstalled new sprinklers, they laid several layers of top grade gopher screen and finished the job with laying top grade healthy green sod. The results of their work have been exceptional. Josue gave us great suggestions on how to keep our grass looking beautiful for the long haul. Crest and Josue give customer service a whole new meaning. We have several projects we need to do on our landscape and we have no hesitation about who we are going to hire for this work. Crest Landscaping brings skill, efficiency, attention to detail, and amazing customer service. If it seems like they are more expensive than their competitors, their work done at the onset will absolutely save you the money spent in the long run. It is so refreshing to have worked with such excellent professionals.

Kim is passionate about his work, has a very positive attitude, and was on site every day to make sure everything went smoothly. The team removed our old concrete driveway and pathways, installed beautiful new pavers, drainage, a new lawn, irrigation valves and pipes, new faucets, electrical outlets, low votage lights, a mailbox, assembled and installed gazebos. The project was completed ahead of schedule, the pricing was reasonable, and I am very happy with the final result.

His crew was exceptional. They were courteous, punctual and experienced. They included my husband and me in decision making regarding placement of paths, flagstone and plants, which we greatly appreciated. It is rare to find such exemplary customer service these days and both Jose and his entire crew were amazing. I would definitely recommend his service to friends and family. The final project surpassed my expectations and we were so pleased and grateful for everything!

I reached out to Geoff and as always, he was very responsive and offered to repair these items. Geoff and his team stand by their workmanship and products.

I will continue to recommend Swanson!

After waiting a year and a half I have decided it was time to review Swanson's Landscaping. I had…read moreSwanson's Landscaping build a pad for my swim spa and hot tub. They were recommended by my swim spa dealer, Turbo Spas in Dublin. The crew was easy to work with, professional and followed my instructions to the letter. I just want to give some feedback from what I have learned since because this will help others avoid the same mistake I made. After waiting 28 days for the concrete to cure I set my 12' swim spa and 8' hot tub on the pad. 6 months later my swim spa cracked on the bottom. I am not sure about this but I believe the spa cracked because of the control lines running underneath the spa because that is where the spa shell cracked. Lessons learned is never add control lines where a swim spa will be set. This was no fault of Swanson's, It was my fault for recommending control line locations. All is well now because my swim spa was repaired and I have the spa floating on 3" of crushed rock and a spa pad. The spa pad and rock sit on top of 6" steel reinforced concrete.

We just wrapped up a huge overhaul of our backyard with Jeff and Courtney from TriValley…read moreLandscaping and we truly could not be happier. We originally called Jeff to talk about fixing our drainage issues - our yard would flood every time it rained, and pool near the patio and foundation. Jeff was so thorough and explained where all our pain points were and how we could most effectively fix them. We decided to install French drains and pumps on both sides of the house to get water moving the right direction. Once we started digging, Jeff and his team realized we could make the drainage work without pumps by grading the yard differently - saving us tons of money! Naturally, we got excited and decided to increase the scope of work to include more landscaping, a few footpaths, small seating area, a bunch of sod for a new lawn, irrigation and a ton of new plants and trees. Jeff and Courtney checked in with us about budget throughout the whole project, making sure to send us new estimates when I got excited about adding something else to the revamp. The team onsite were great - personable, on time, respectful, and they also seemed to really enjoy working with each other, which we felt was a good sign. I absolutely adore my new outdoor space and we anticipate enjoying it with our family for many years to come. If we ever need more work done, I'm calling TriValley!

We had a fantastic experience working with Simon Lee at Black Diamond on our backyard project over…read morethe past month, and we couldn't be happier with the level of service he provided from beginning to end. Our project was fairly extensive -- it included building retaining walls, flattening and creating more usable space in our backyard, and installing paver stones. Simon stood out to us from the very beginning, when we were still meeting with different companies and deciding who to hire. He was never pushy or overly sales-focused. Instead, he took the time to understand what we wanted, walked us through his design proposals, and offered thoughtful recommendations based on his experience. We really liked his ideas and ultimately felt comfortable trusting his expertise and recommendations for the space. That same level of attention continued throughout the entire project. Simon checked in with us every single day and always showed up with a smile and a positive attitude. Whenever he came over to discuss the project or answer questions, he never made us feel rushed. He was always willing to take his time, talk things through, and make sure we were comfortable before moving forward. He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedules, which we really appreciated. With a project of this size happening in your backyard for several weeks, having a project manager who is accessible, patient, and communicates consistently makes such a huge difference. Simon was quick to respond whenever we had questions and made the whole process feel much easier to navigate. What impressed us most was how he handled the final stretch of the project. During the final inspection, we brought up a few questions and concerns, and there was never any defensiveness or hesitation. Simon listened, took our concerns seriously, and quickly came back with solutions to make sure we were happy with the finished project. That level of accountability and follow-through really reinforced that we had made the right choice. Simon is professional, patient, approachable, responsive, and genuinely seems to care about both his clients and the quality of the finished project. From helping us envision the backyard during the design stage to making sure everything was addressed at the very end, he was there throughout the entire process. We really enjoyed working with Simon and would absolutely recommend asking for Simon Lee if you're considering a project with Black Diamond. Thank you, Simon, for taking such great care of us and helping transform our backyard!

My wife and I are in love with our yard again, and we are very happy with the work Aaron and his…read morecrew did. After deciding to remove our pool, we hired Aaron as the installer for our new landscape project, and we are so glad we did. For months, work was moving forward almost every day, from demolition prep and grading to hardscape, planting, irrigation, lighting, fencing, pergola installation, pebble work, and the finishing touches. The quality of the work was excellent throughout. The paver patio, carport, and front entry all turned out beautifully, and the plants, irrigation, and lighting were installed with great care. We were especially impressed by the rock and pebble work, particularly the dry creek and front mow strip. The mix of stone sizes gave everything a natural, detailed, and polished look that really elevated the final result. Aaron also has a strong eye for detail. He regularly caught things that needed adjustment, even when we had not noticed them ourselves, and he stayed focused on getting everything right. While there were some issues that delayed finishing the project, Aaron took responsibility and worked with us to make them right, which we truly appreciated. In the end, what matters most is that we are thrilled with the outcome. Our yard feels beautiful, welcoming, and complete, and we look forward to years of enjoying it.

We had everything completely demoed in order to start from scratch. We wanted a more rustic, traditional looking garden with brick pathways and lots of plants. Having never done a project like this before, we hired a landscape designer: Cyn Coulouthros. She put together a design for us and recommended Aaron's team at Landscape Experts due to their experience with softscaping and hardscaping, especially their brick work. And they would be able to deliver the traditional look we were going for. I cannot say enough good things about Aaron and his team. They go above and beyond to make sure you get what you want! Aaron is so easy to work with and always responsive. The lead on our project was Raul who is amazing at what he does! He takes pride in his work and is incredibly talented. If you need any landscaping, I highly recommend Landscape Experts. Some things Aaron's team did for us: Laid a brick pathway, laid a flagstone patio, installed pathway lights, installed much needed drainage, installed a drip system and Rachio controller (to program the sprinklers from your phone), resurfaced an existing raised seating area for us as it was completely deformed (likely from earthquakes), placed mulch, planted all of the trees and plants, etc. An additional note, Aaron doesn't forget about you once the job is done. We had a light go out and he sent someone over immediately to fix it, as an example. If you're having any issues, he wants to help, even if it's unrelated to anything they've worked on. We will 100% be using them when we're ready to do our front yard and for anything else landscape related! Thank you so much Aaron and Landscape Experts for giving us our dream backyard! You guys are amazing!

I have mixed feelings about the work that was done. We hired him to put in concrete in the backyard…read moreof our new build and was relying on his expertise as to what would be the best set up. He came by and took initial measurements and said he would provide drawings of what he would do. I never received the drawings. I don't know why he decided to move the drains out to the sides instead of leaving them in the middle. As you can see in the pictures, now there's areas where water pools where if there was a drain there wouldn't be an issue. I'm also surprised he didn't put a drain where the pipe for the water tank comes out, which is causing discoloration. These are things that I expected an expert to know about and to provide upfront. Now that the concrete is put in it's too late to have the drains installed in the middle. Btw moving the drains to the sides was an extra $1k. We also added the concrete path to the front of the house, and when he did that he cut the water pipe so now there's a dead patch. He didn't consult with us prior and that was not something that was agreed upon. Now comes the payments. He asks for payments in installments up front. Reason being that he said he needs to pay for the materials and his workers. I have always heard that you should never pay and should wait until work is done, but he seemed trustworthy and it was in installments so I didn't have too much of a problem with that. These were paid via checks. When it came time to pour the concrete, I was told it would be a certain amount and I provided payment directly to the concrete company. Later on after it was done, I was overcharged and I asked him to call them to verify and ask why the difference. He never followed up with them. Luckily this was through my credit card so I was able to submit a dispute. When we gave him the final check, there were some remaining items that he still had to take care of before the project was completed. I had to keep texting him to ask when he would be back to finish the job. It took weeks since he kept pushing his schedule out. My overall sentiment is that this was just an OK result. I do appreciate that him and his team worked during the summer through the 100 degree weather to get this done. But at the same time, I'm not too happy with the drainage system that they did.
