We had a great experience working with Simon and his crew at Luckystar Landscaping, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Simon and his team completed essentially all of our exterior landscaping, including both the left and right property-line fences, hardscape and softscape, artificial turf, a decomposed granite patio, Delta Blue Bolero grass, irrigation, mulch, and gravel. The fences were built exactly to the required design, including the use of metal fence posts, and Simon was very attentive to getting the details right. I pay a lot of attention to detail and can be pretty particular about execution. What I really appreciated was that Simon and his crew never seemed put off by the high bar. They understood what we were trying to achieve, worked tirelessly to meet it, and still managed to move at an impressive pace. My experience with Simon is that as long as your design intent is clear and properly communicated, he will find a way to accomplish it. He also had no problem with me being very hands-on throughout the construction process, which I really appreciated. Beyond the contracted work, Simon was incredibly helpful with things that were technically outside the original scope. He was also very flexible with scheduling when I ran into material-supply delays, and always approached changes and problems with a positive, can-do attitude. Just as importantly, Simon is a genuinely enjoyable person to work with. I really enjoyed our end-of-day beers together after wrapping up the work -- a small thing, but it says a lot about the kind of working relationship we had. Simon and his crew are hardworking, capable, responsive, and great people to have around. We're extremely happy with how everything turned out, and I'd happily work with them again. read more

Simon and his team always work hard. Start early and end their day late. They work efficiently and hard! He is upfront with his pricing and also considers the solution against the product. That means you get a good solution that doesn't break the bank. He called out the fact that I chose a product that was not not good quality and we discussed a solution and I am so happy with the solution. So grateful that he consulted with me and we came up with a solution. Also, they work hard all day long. The work ethic on his team is fantastic. I hired them five years ago and today they are the same as they were. If I could bring him into every project I do... I would do it without question. read more

I hired Lucky Star landscaping to install artificial turf and pavers. Simon is very responsive and open to adjust his proposal based on my needs and budgets. Simon and his crew followed the contracts, knew what they are doing and completed the works earlier than expected with good quality. They even cleaned up the space after works every day. read more

They did a nice job on a walkway at the side of the house. They were responsive, quick and reasonably-priced.

We are so thrilled with how our backyard turned out! We talked to a ton of contractors, but Simon was the only one who really clicked with us, and his quote was very fair. The crew was fast, professional, and amazing to work with. We even threw a last-minute fence project at them, and they knocked it out of the park! We've officially found our 'go-to' team, which makes planning our next projects so much easier. Can't wait to work with you guys again. Thanks, Simon and the team! read more

Simon and team did an awesome job transforming my backyard - from a muddy dirty mess to a beautiful landscape with drought resistant plants and pebbles. Throughout the process, he was responsive and professional. Lastly, his quote was much less than other proposals. I'd happily use Simon's services again. read more

These guys do not know how to cut hedges or plants. Super Amateur. Hedges uneven as if they were doing it for the first time. I don't know how they have so many good reviews. I had to stop a crew member who didn't speak any english from walking across my hot tub cover repeatedly! Was not able to answer any questions. Simon wanted $950 for this nonsense... I wrote him a check for $500 and sent them home early it was that bad. I literally paid them to leave! read more

Our backyard was in a real need of a renovation. Simon and his crew put in 400 sq-ft of pavers, built a redwood patio deck with stairs, and drainage. They did a great job and exactly what we asked for. Simon was responsive, easy to communicate with, and was willing to work with us and our requests. They finished earlier than expected, got it done in 6 days (estimated 2.5 weeks) and stayed within our limited budget. Now we have a beautiful and functional outdoor space that we can enjoy for many years to come. read more

These guys did a pretty good job on my yard. I was expecting it to take longer, but they were quick and efficient. There were a few spots that could've been better, but overall I'm satisfied with the work. Would recommend! read more

2 stars for the owner who came to setup a quote but lack the ability to follow up when asked questions about liabilities and injuries while working on my property. Strict requirements are the offer by our main Harbor Bay HOA as they are strict in following rules setup for HB homeowners. Since documentation is key to a successful company, Luck Star never followed through despite a few follow up email messages. Many other contractors were quoting my project but many failed the documentation side of the calls, as they seek no liabilities to workmanship, injuries and quality of the lumber, especially with today inflationary process. . read more

Simon and his team do great work. I had a driveway approach that was done incorrectly and was too high and too steep. I contacted Simon from Lucky Star for a quote. I had to wait about a week before Simon could come out and take a look, but I'm glad I did. Of all the quotes I received, Simon was the 2nd lowest but they seemed very reliable so I hired them. They were able to come out and do my driveway approach a week earlier than scheduled, which was a plus. They took one day to demo my old concrete, which was much harder than anticipated. They poured and finished the next day. The new driveway approach looks much, much better. Now I can pull into my driveway without having to worry about hitting the bottom of my car. read more

Simon and his team did a great job! I'm super happy with the finished product :). They also finished in one week! Simon came out fairly quickly to checkout my backyard and sent a quote within 24 hours. In the quote, he offered several options like if we wanted to go with paver or concrete. He also gave awesome suggestions on what he would do with the space and created a 3D rendering for us to visualize. We loved what we saw and went with them! I'm so glad we did because the backyard looks amazing :) Half way into the process, he FaceTimed me to give a suggestion on what might look better and I'm so glad he did! We fully trusted the team to make the backyard look good! read more

Highly recommend Simon and his crew with Lucky Star Landscaping. They were able to come and assess the work I needed done and provided a quote within the next day. Fair price and great work. They finished the job in 3 days exactly how I wanted and even went a little further. Stayed late the 3rd day to finish. Simon even came back a couple days later to fix a clog in one of the drip lines. Well worth the money spent. read more

Simon arrived on time for both the estimate and site work. He worked with me on a tight schedule and completed the job quickly and at estimate. Not just professional but goes above and beyond for service. I'm looking forward to hiring Simon for my next job. read more

Simon and Dan removed artificial turf and sand from our back garden, and paved the area with natural stone. They were very easy to communicate with (Simon was the main liaison and responsive by text, phone and email), punctual and hardworking. Although they have a large team, they themselves picked out and installed our natural stone, being very careful with their materials as they brought them through our house into the back garden. We felt that they worked with as much care as if they had been building their own garden. The result was fantastic and we are enjoying our refreshed space. Thank you, both! Highly recommended. read more

Simon and his crew have completed two projects for me the past few months. The first was a large concrete patio and walkway in my back yard. I reached out for a price, Simon was out within a couple days, gave me the price on the spot and we scheduled it for that week. I already knew what my budget was and I knew what a fair price was to me. I love it, they are hard working, show attention to detail and it turned out better than I anticipated. Simon was on-site several times during the week and was always available for questions. They finished it on time and on budget. The second project was a French drain and retaining wall, about 100 lf of French drain and 50 lf of wall. It looks great, they had a lot of dirt to move and access was a little challenging. Again, on time and in budget. I'll find out how it works this next rainy season, the last one flooded my yard and workshop. Keeping my fingers crossed. I would mention that at the end of each day I had to pick up after the crew. I have a 2 year old and numerous pets. Periodically I found cigarette butts on the ground, empty water bottles, a little trash laying around, and their power tools. Because it was not every day and they were so quick it was a minor inconvenience. I will be using them for future projects, I have several more! read more

I spent a good month or two getting quotes from contractors looking to build a covered area for a smoker. During this time, the location and scope of the job changed, and Simon was more than happy to come back out and redo the quote in the new area. He also came in WAY under on pricing compared to virtually everyone else. We wanted redwood, and other companies were wanting double what Simon quoted us. Once we came to an agreement on design and color options, they got to work almost immediately. Simon and crew spent the week working on it, and did a great job capturing what we wanted. They worked around some structural challenges we had, namely a slab of concrete that was lifted by a tree. We could not be more happy with the work these guys did, and will absolutely be looking to use their services in the future. read more

They really made our vision of the backyard come to life. They even made suggestions to make the backyard look even better as well as easy to maintain. Simon was extremely accommodating and patient (our AC was being installed on the start of the project) and he collaborated with us so the unit fit seemingly to our backyard project even though it wasn't initially planned. Simon, Tom and his crew were extremely detail-oriented. We are so happy with the work they have done, they did a beautiful job and we look forward to working with them again in the future. Highly recommend their services! read more

Simon and his team put in a new long retaining wall with drainage for us. They were very hard-working, and they did a great job with attention to detail. They dug the holes for the piers at the correct required depth in very rocky soil. Simon was very responsive to my questions both before and during the project. Will do business with them again. read more

We had Simon and his team at Lucky Star Landscaping pour and build a stamped concrete furniture zone with two open planter sections in front of our home. It was an absolute pleasure working with him. He stopped by our house and quoted us within 24 hours of the initial outreach. When we scheduled the work for two weeks later, his team showed up promptly, did a wonderful job, and were finished by the evening, as promised. Great communication skills, good price, and professional all around. 5 Stars. read more

He no showed for two appointments. First one after I texted him at our appointed time he said something came up and he would reschedule but I didn't hear back in two weeks. So I texted him again and asked if he was still interested. He said yes and we set up for a time and he no showed again and never heard back. So can't speak to the work done since we never met. I guess for the better. read more

5 Stars for Lucky Star Landscaping!!! This was my second project with Simon and Lucky Star Landscaping and the experience was even better!!! They demoed a concrete flower bed in the front of my house and installed beautiful new concrete. They also removed loose rock from the backyard and installed 500sft of artificial grass. Simon stayed true to his price even though we ended up needing extra turf then was assumed in the bid. He and his crew kept everything neat and tidy while they worked and finished several days earlier then originally estimated. We are so grateful to have met Simon and Lucky Star Landscaping and will certainly ask them to help us again in the future! Thank you Simon and crew read more

Lucky Star Landscaping is truly a hidden gem!!! My mother's backyard is very big, and this project only took about 8 days. Mind you, the backyard was very bare with weeds growing out yearly. It was just a hassle to maintain such a big yard. So my mom and I called Simon over for an estimate it was the best estimate we've got! We chose Lucky Star to do the project right away. We wanted black sheets and gopher nets for gophers and weeds through the whole backyard, and laid artificial turf on top. The hardest part was ordering the artificial turf, my mom and I were having a hard time since everywhere was out of artificial turf and it would've took weeks for the new turf to come in. But Simon was quick to handle the situation and got the artificial turf RIGHT AWAY. The other half of the yard we planted five fruit trees and ordered peat moss to be laid out. The walk way from made from scratch with materials like slate and rock that we already had. All the workers did an amazing job! They came during the hottest weeks of the month, yet they still did an excellent job. They were all nice, funny, and very sweet. I'm very glad we hired them! Our next project will be our front yard, and we will definitely hire Lucky Star Landscaping for the second round! read more

Simon and his crew did a beautiful job building a custom pergola over my existing deck. Simon took notes when he initially came to give me an estimate, and the completed project came out beautiful! It was exactly what I had envisioned and described, and nothing was left out or forgotten. The crew was friendly and paid a lot of attention to detail, including discussing with us when it was discovered that a sprinkler head was in the way of the planned framework, so they took care of that while they proceeded with the construction without a hitch. I highly recommend Lucky Star Landscaping and will not hesitate to call them for any future projects. read more

Simon and Tom, what a great team! We have had a yard filled with wood chips and a rotting deck for a couple years and needed it to be enclosed so our dog can roam free. These guys responded to us very quickly, provided a fair quote, and did the job over the course of 7 days. We basically wanted our entire backyard to have concrete, trees and plants removed, and to build 2 sizable gates. Simon and Tom did the best job. The crew is friendly, arrives early, and works hard to give you the space you want. We could not be happier. I highly recommend Lucky Star Landscaping for a beautiful result and the most professional team. read more

Simon and team did an excellent job in a very short amount of time. Between the pavers, new gate, attached pergola, and built-in custom bench, My patio is transformed and we couldn't be happier. After a few weeks, the heavy gate started to settle with a bit of a droop that made it hard to open - one text and Simon came by a few hours later and they fixed it very quickly, no issues at all. Highly recommended. read more

This is the second time I've landscaped with Lucky Star landscaping. The first time was last year for my backyard and the second time was for my front yard. My experience getting both my yards landscaped has been nothing, but all good things. The workers are very professional, time efficient, and kind. I also get compliments from all my neighbors on my front yard. I recommend anyone and everyone for Lucky Star Landscaping. read more

Simon sent out a crew or 4 guys who replaced our retaining wall in 4 days. It was a really challenging job: for this wall they had to dig really deep to set the steel posts. They all had unbelievable tenacity to make sure that this wall will not fail. It is so straight and lined up that I just like to keep looking at it. The drainage was done properly too. Get these guys to do your work!! read more

Quick response, even quicker service. They redid my backyard with pavers and finished 1-2 days early. They removed two trees and a few plants in no time. There was a very minor issue with my drain being stuck in the ground from some concrete that spilled over the top of the medal drain. I called to get some assistance removing the drain cover and they came over the same day and fixed the problem in 30 minutes. Also the price for the service could not be beat. I acquired over 15 quotes and no other company could come close to betting their price. read more

Simon and his crew were professional, punctual, and beyond patient as they had to deal with jerks that happen to be my neighbors. They harassed Simon and his crew pretty much the entire time they were working on remodeling my patio since my neighbors, who happen to be on the HOA board, telling Simon that my project wasn't approved, which was an outright lie since I had all the paperwork to show it was approved. My neighbors were being big-time jerks since they never asked us directly if it was approved since I could have easily shown them my paperwork (plus they should know better since they're on the freaking board!); instead they chose to bully Simon and his crew even calling security on them twice. The way my neighbors were behaving was so embarrassing. They looked and sounded like all those videos posted of white people yelling belligerently at people of color. We really should've taken videos of them, but we're respectful people and we just let them throw their tantrums because we knew we were right since, once again, our project was APPROVED. I felt so bad for Simon, but he and his crew kept their cool and proceeded to complete the project. I now have a beautiful new lattice fence and lovely stone pavers. They deserve more than 5 stars, plus their workmanship was excellent! read more

They were quick to respond. Very professional. He explained his plans very clearly. Emailed an estimate. Good price. Were able to start within a week. The front strip of my house ( between the street and sidewalk) has plagued me for years. The Lucky Star crew did a beautiful job. Just what I wanted. I would definitely hire them again for another project. Re: covid They wore masks. Stayed physically distanced. read more

Simon and his team did an amazing job. Lucky Star's response time and completion of the project was swift and efficient.

I hired Lucky Star Landscaping for a second time almost a year later (see my previous 5 star review) this time to complete my backyard makeover to replace the fence. Simon gave me bids promptly and squeezed in the job much sooner than I expected when he learned I was having a backyard get together soon. I also asked his crew to put in a new gate to the backyard. Everything turned out better than expected. He even talked to my neighbors about the shared fence, one of whom hired them to finish up their side too. They left the site cleaner than when they arrived. The work was efficient, detailed, top-quality, speedy, and their price was competitive. read more

They were very professional and did a great job with our yard. They even worked on the weekends to try to complete the job so they actually did it in less time than they quoted. For privacy reasons, we're not going to post any pictures here. If you are looking for someone to work on your landscape, you can't go wrong with Lucky Star. They never missed an appointment and was very easy to get a hold of. read more

We found Lucky Star after outreaching to landscape contractors for 2+ months to help us re-do our backyard patio and garden after we had to demo the whole thing to eradicate an underground rat infestation. Our scope of work included removing all of the old plantings, installing a new stamped and integrally colored concrete patio (the old concrete patio was already removed), planting the new plants (I purchased them myself to save $ on his time), importing new DG and regrading the pre-existing DG area, and removing and replacing the majority of our good neighbor perimeter fencing. He also helped us create a wire trellis by extending the fence posts for the new vines to creep on. A landscape designer prepared a concept plan that we were working from that we subsequently made changes to as we went along, such as the trellis. The whole project took 5 days. Our new backyard looks fabulous, and is rat free! At least their colony has been relocated :) Simon was easy to work with, reliable, and very willing to help us bring our project closer to a cost we could afford. The project had some hiccups and surprises, as most projects of this scale do, but he was open to trying to resolve them quickly and did not nickel/dime us to account for changes. At the end, he and I discussed all of the changes and came to an agreement that was more than fair from my perspective. We will absolutely work with him again but next time, I will be more careful about walking thru all of the scope details and execution logistics with him in advance to minimize surprises after the project starts. read more

Loved working with Simon! He did an amazing job and despite us having one small issue, he immediately fixed it right after it was discovered. This was after he was fully paid and yet, he did what was "right" and corrected our concern. Most folks would've just ignored us, but not Simon. Complete professional. Fantastic guy and competitive pricing. read more
