I knew I needed help, so I reached out to Costa Mesa Gardening after doing much research and comparing pricing. We went over the kinds of plants I liked, along with suggestions. Jose picked and brought the plants, and Lucas, an elderly gentleman, planted them. These guys worked all day until sunset. Their impeccable service, dedication and unwavering effort brought my garden to life, filled with all the pretty greens! I was so happy! My jaw dropped, my Mom's jaw dropped, and my sister's too. It's like a huge makeover, leaving you feeling happy and content. Every time I come now, it's filled with so many pretty flowers and their colors. I value the hardest working people who know what they are doing! I will continue working with them for any future projects! Thank you Jose and Lucas!

I'm beyond happy with Surf N Turf Landscape. Zach and his crew are great people who do great work…read more I moved to a house with artificial turf, and two golden retrievers, which resulted in me needing to spray an enzyme every week to try to stop the horrible scent that was coming from the artificial turf. Zach came out to do an estimate for me to help me decide if I needed different turf or real sod. He gave me options and I ended up going with St. Augustine turf and I am so happy with the results! (For the dogs and wanting turf, this was the perfect option to fit my needs.). When they were removing the artificial sod, they uncovered that the under layer was compacted to 100%. The crew was basically chiseling into concrete. They worked so hard and got it all cleared out the first day so that the sod could go down the second day after ktlling and re-leveling with fresh dirt. They took out so many barrels of compacted concrete-dirt. Completely unrelated I had some sprinklers break in the front a week after they were done and he came out to check on my grass and set up an appointment to get my sprinklers fixed within a few days. Then I added a wishlist item to have him fix some sprinklers that were in some pots out front. Yet again he and his crew came out on time, did great work and cleaned everything up perfectly. I am so impressed by their quality of work and their work ethic and would definitely recommend them to anyone. If I ever have any additional work, I need done in my yard. They are the and only people I will call.

I recently worked with Jake Jo and the team at Echo Family Landscaping for a major backyard…read morerenovation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. They handled our entire project from start to finish, which included installing new pavers, turf, and an irrigation system. The quality of their work is fantastic, and the finished yard looks absolutely beautiful--exactly like the design photos we had hoped for. As with any large landscaping project, there were a couple of minor issues that popped up along the way, but Jake was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was taken care of very quickly without any hassle. Overall, I am extremely happy with how the yard turned out. If you're looking for a reliable team in the Irvine area that does high-quality work and stands behind it, I highly recommend Jake and Echo Family Landscaping.

Jake and his crew completed a rather large project on our new construction home that took…read moreapproximately 10 months (pool , spa, firepit, outdoor kitchen, custom pergola, front, back and side yards, water features, landscaping, etc...etc.., but it was well worth the time and cost. We purchased a home in a new development, so we vetted many different companies to build all the features we wanted on an empty canvas (ie: dirt lot). Our budget was around $290-$360k. We got around 6 bids, which we narrowed down to 3. Out of the 3, Jake gave us the most confidence in his knowledge and eye for details. We visited some of his previous projects and were thoroughly impressed. A lot of our neighbors used competitors that were cheaper, but when we saw their completed projects, you could see a lot of corners that were cut and the shoddy quality. Some look down right terrible. The majority were unhappy with the work provided by those companies. The crews were constantly changing on the same projects (subbed out to 3rd party) and there was no post-completion support. I know that there have been lawsuits filed on some of the projects. Our home, on the otherhand, has been the highlight of our neighborhood and we have people constantly taking pictures and asking for details on Jake. Not just because of the design itself, but also because of his hardworking crew. We've been beyond happy with Jake and his team and love showing off our new outdoor space. Echo was at the top end of our budget, but the quality is A+++ and 100% worth it. He didn't cut any corners and his crew pulled 10-12 hour days, 6 days a week, for 10 months. Best thing is that Jake personally checked the quality of the work on a regular basis. If anything was off by a tiny bit, Jake redid it to make it perfect. I consider myself to be detail oriented, almost to the point of being unbearable, but I never had to worry about the work being done because of the QC by Jake. This in itself was worth it. The crew was consistently the same people and HIGHLY skilled. Some of the best work I'd seen. Ricardo was our project lead and so talented and friendly. All the team was very respectful and thoughtful. They cleaned up after every day and never blasted music or talked loudly or cursed. (Which was very important to me because my neighbor and I work from home). They were kind to my wife, kids, and neighbors as well. My parents also hired Echo to fix various issues around their yard and pool and had the same experiences we did with very proficient and highly skilled crew members that worked hard. Also, the small issues we had after completion were addressed immediately. Most contractors rarely come back after you've finished paying them, but Jake really values his clients and takes pride in making sure they're taken care of before, during, and most importantly, after the project is done. There are tons of companies out there, but nobody really does it like Echo and I HIGHLY recommend them. It's worth the investment, not just financially, but also the time and memories you will have enjoying the beautiful space and features.

I knew I needed to repair my backyard from years of gopher damage that resulted in lumps and holes,…read moreand poor drainage that caused my yard to flood against the house. To fix this, I needed to tear up my grass, redo my irrigation, level the yard, add drainage, and put down some new St Augustine sod. At least that's how my project started. Because my wedding got Covid19-postponed, we decided to add a gazebo in the backyard (bought one from Costco... We're going to get married under there). That meant I also needed a concrete pad. Then I also noticed that the weed barrier under the rocks near my palm trees had been destroyed over the past 15 years. I decided to redo the weed barrier, and add more rocks. I figured that would do it. That way no one would break their ankle on the new grass since it would be level and we'd have a nice dance area on the concrete pad (inside joke... Don't ask for a hexagon...lol). So, I had about six companies come out to give me quotes. As they came out, I learned some other things that needed to be done. Most of it had to do with whether or not I wanted a mini paver wall or bender board wall along the palm tree planter and my vegetable garden for the new grass. That was until Danny came over and took a look. He has so many great ideas. Just ask him to envision your yard and what would he suggest. He suggested we add a DG (decompressed granite) sand pathway along the palm trees. He also suggested I add a planter along the side of my house which would improve the look of it. Additionally, he suggested I change the vegetable garden out by adding cedar boxes and DG sand. I asked him to keep going, what else would he do if it were his yard. That's where he came up with the idea of the stone pathway from my gate to the gazebo, changing out my solar lights for hardwired lights, extending my back porch concrete out a couple feet so that my porch swing has more room creating an open pathway, moving my water spigot and adding another one in the veggie garden, putting in mulch around the new planter and around my existing fig tree, adding in irrigation in the Cedarwood planter boxes. I also had him move a fountain and install a new fountain. Additionally, rather than me having a fountain sitting on top of two bricks against my house, he built a little mini planter around it with gravel and added lights in front of each of my fountains. I don't necessarily need to go with the lowest quote, but what is super important to me is having a detailed quote (we went back-and-forth to add little details in here and there like removing tree stump etc. to make sure that we were very clear on the scope of the work) and good communication. The first thing that I found different about Danny versus everyone else, was his passion. I could tell he really had a vision for these things. He is creative and if you let him help you with the design, you'll be pleased with the results. It was more than I had intended to do but I'm very glad I did it. I hired him to do the job. Whenever I had questions, Danny texted me right back. His team, Kevin, and the rest of the guys, did an excellent job. Very hard-working. They cleaned up after themselves when everything was done. I had a couple issues which we resolved. For example, the stones on the pathway to were too far apart for my short legs, so I paid to have him add a couple extra large stones for me. Much better. That's now going to be the aisle where I walk for my wedding next year. Another thing I didn't realize is that the DG sand does get wet when it rains even though it harden initially when it dried. After my backyard project, I also hired Danny to redo my front irrigation which had been hacked together by a previous owner (Lines crisscrossed between planters and grass). His team also trimmed the large tree in my front yard. We may have another project or two in the future. If I end up doing more, I will update my review and add more pictures. Overall, I highly recommend Danny for your landscape design projects, both softscaping and landscaping. Note: he laid down the conduit pipes, but I hired my own electrician to run the lines and add the outlets. I bought the gazebo at Costco and my husband and I installed it. Sunjoy (Great customer service!) hexagon. I bought a large rock fountain from Costco. The two smaller fountains came from Home Depot. I installed a ceiling fan and lights in the gazebo. I also use smart outlets so I can control everything with my phone.

They were very competitive on pricing as we got several quotes. Oscar was very easy to work with as we described our needs and he came up with great designs that took very little adjustments to get exactly what we had envisioned. Oscar took us to several nurseries to select plants that would compliment the project. Victor took care of the demo and construction side of the project and was he amazing! The crew shows up on time and the site is thoroughly cleaned up each day. Communication was awesome, if we had any questions about products or how things were being laid out Victor answered them right away. As the project went along if Victor thought something might look better a certain way he would ask us what we thought before proceeding. Victor's crew were very courteous and professional at all times! When the project was completed we received a plant care and maintenance list that was very detailed allowing us to take proper care of the plants. We highly recommend Caliscapes OC. You rarely see a company that is so attentive and caring about their end results in today's world! Quality craftsmanship! Oscar and Victor run a very professional business and it shows!
