So I went to yelp to ask for tree trimming services. Six businesses responded but Torres…read moreLandscaping was the very first one to respond right after I sent the message. Leo the owner personally went to check the trees and the next day Sarah emailed me the estimate. The price is reasonable and affordable. I asked for four trees to be pruned but had a last minute addition of a pine tree, and they accommodate it right there and then. Jose and Jorge came at 9am as what I've been told and worked on the trees, Leo went in to check with them after an hour which I like because it shows that he values his customer and making sure that the work is being done. The guys are very respectful of the property, they're polite and they went above and beyond what's needed to be done. They left my property clean. Sarah is the one who communicates with me through phone about things like payment, and added last minute services. She's kind and awesome, answering all my questions and making sure everything is done according to my liking. All in all, I am very much satisfied with their work, work ethics and their service, I'm glad I went with them. Definitely gonna be my go to for all my yard and tree trimming needs. Thank you guys, especially to Sarah! Pleasure doing business with you!

Leo was very responsive, came by for measurements and his office quickly gave me a thorough quote (it had all the detail and was transparent as to every line item, which isn't always the case). The Torres team is available and makes sure to answer every question through project planning and execution. Leo is very detail oriented and makes sure everything is done exactly as you need it. He was also flexible - double checking and course correcting as the need arose. The team worked quickly and carefully, and it's clear that this team enjoys working together :-) Highly, highly recommend Leo and Torres Landscaping for your next project!

Israel and his team did an amazing job on our front yard. Before the front yard transformation,…read morethe front yard was but a field of weeds, punctuated by gopher holes like swiss cheese. His team did exactly as we discussed, leveling the dirt, laying down gopher wire, and adding a layer of weed barrier and mulch. The result is a yard that the gophers are not going to pop out of, and a few plants added as well. He was able to do the job on time, and had great communication about plants and progress. His team of workers was hardworking, and efficient. He even came by at the end to check on the irrigation, and make a suggestion of where to move the irrigation timer for better flow in the garden. I am so happy we hired Aguilar Landscaping.

Being a first time homeowner is not easy. From landing the house and finding things to improve over…read moretime, my wife and I knew the backyard would be a very important space for our family, especially our younger kids. When we first moved in, the backyard was all cement, the grass was dead, it had mulch/tanbark everywhere, and the pavers were mismatched. While we had a temporary "fix" by removing the grass and installing turf, we knew we needed to go big. I went through countless hours of research, hesitation, and uncertainty for whatever reason, but I finally settled on a name that, after extensive research, felt like they would be the right fit for us. Enter Black Diamond! Stephanie Driscoll was our project manager and designer and Raul was the head of the crew that took on the job of totally revamping the entire backyard and the side yards. Stephanie was very easy to work with and loved the design that was initially proposed. Instead of trying to essentially price the job with higher quality materials or trying to add more where it wasn't needed, we were able to balance paver amount/variation for the pathways and borders so that it made sense both in design and budget. Needless to say, 4 months on, we are still very happy with how it turned out and how everything was done. We started the consultation/design process and contracting in December 2025 and broke ground in March 2026. Stephanie was patient in waiting for other projects to be completed since I also had to replace a roof, install new gutters, and repaint the whole house. By April 2026, the entire backyard looked as designed and blew my family away! Our friend and family complimented on how well everything was done and what a transformation it was. We actually enjoy the backyard a lot more now and so do our children. The pavers have held up very well thus far and most of all, it's safe for anyone to walk on. No sharp edges on the step-down that was installed, no tripping hazards, and no danger of water sitting and pooling in any one area. The rocks along the pathways complement the pavers and do well to keep costs low in the side yard as no one really hangs out on the sides anyway. Extremely happy with Black Diamond, Stephanie, and Raul! Thank you so much; looking forward to getting the front yard and driveway tackled soon!

I live in Monterey and discovered Black Diamond because I really liked what they did with one of my…read moreneighbor's front area.  It pays to leave your sign out! Frances was my project manager and on the first visit I described my vision and let her know I wanted to do some of the work myself because I had a limited budget.  She was very accommodating about that and drew up plans based on what I wanted help with.  She actually did a few iterations as we talked through design and my changes after I saw the plans.  She helped with design and material suggestions but also drainage suggestions that helped me feel confident I wouldn't have problems down the line.  Black Diamond did all the hardscape of pavers and prepped and installed my lawn.  I did everything else in the pictures. I purchased all the plants, but Frances was helpful in giving me ideas about what grew best in my area which doesn't get a lot of sun.  They are a bit pricey but I was willing to pay more because they gave me the confidence that they would do the work correctly.  And Frances was amazing to work with! It came out beautiful!  Their workers were not very friendly and didn't speak much English but they knew their business and Frances visited often to oversee the work.   There were lots of little decisions to be made and Frances was patient with me as I took time to decide on some things.  They also put in piping so I could run more irrigation, if needed and electrical wiring.  They also ran pipe for my propane tank hose so it would be underground.  My only frustration is that they didn't put string through or something that would help pull the wiring or hose through more easily.  A simple thing that would have really helped.  Overall, I am very satisfied and would recommend them.  They are pricey and their contract is pretty one-sided, but because everything went well, that wasn't a problem. Apologies for the pictures in random order.  Just a side note--I also used Black Diamond for my rental in Southern California and the project manager did a great job there too.

This is a review on customer service as he has not completed any work for me…read more He came out for a consultation on a Wednesday. He Walked around the yard and Took measurements. He made great recommendations. He Took my husbands contact info and said he would send An estimate on Friday. That was 3 weeks ago. Haven't heard from him since. I'm very disappointed. He had some great ideas. I would understand if the job is too big or too small, just tell the customer that and not lead them on. Very unprofessional. In Response to owner's reply. Then there must be a misunderstanding. My husband actually showed you pictures of the stamps we wanted while you were there. We have been just waiting for your estimate.

That's a crazily tight timeline especially when all contractors are all busy this summer in the bay area. The result and the process are both fantastic, and my wife and I absolutely love it. We have a very small backyard and we are glad Rhadiante doesn't mind it's a small project and is very helpful all the way until it's done. She met us early April to quickly go over the design and drew it out immediately. When picking contractors, we had a hard time getting a contractor who can deliver in such a short time, so Neil picked up this project. We are really happy to see it done within 2 weeks, with beautiful stone flooring, a nice handcrafted bench, and very fine details everywhere. Neil loves his job and is a really nice person to talk to. Rhadiante is the best, she frequently followed up on the progress and treated us like good friends. She also helped us to save money, listing the cost of every item in details and discussing with us. We have never hired a contractor to do remodeling/landscaping before so don't really know what to expect, but they blew away any possible expectation we could've set. I highly recommend Elemental Design Group and will not think anyone else next time we need to do any landscaping work.
