    Looks great, is quick. Guys were friendly and communicated well. Added before and after pictures. Came same day.

    Front yard remodel
    Charles E.

    10/10! Manuel and his team work extremely hard and provide top quality for a variety of services. We had them remodel our front yard recently, after having them remodel our back yard last year. I would recommend Manuel for your landscaping needs. Great value for a high quality product and finished everything on schedule. I'll be using him for all future landscaping projects.

    After picture

    I don't usually write reviews and Manuel never asked me to, but I'm so happy with his team's work that I had to share. We had just moved into a home with an overgrown backyard. Most of the plants were dead, and we wanted everything cleared out so we could start fresh with the few that were still healthy. We also needed some irrigation lines moved and hidden, which required relocating a very old lemon tree. We got quotes from three companies on Yelp. Manuel's was actually the highest, but we chose him because he stood out during the consultation. He took the time to walk through all our concerns and make sure we were aligned, unlike the others who were nice but seemed to just tell us what we wanted to hear. His team completed everything in one day and we're super impressed with the results. Will definitely use them again!

    Beautiful new fences, rock planter, and pavers

    From start to finish, they did a fantastic job. Always on time and worked hard all day long. I'm so happy that we decided to go with Manuel and his crew. Our backyard is finally a place that we love to hang out in. I would recommend this company to anybody interested in landscaping.

    Manuel and his team renovated my backyard and did a great job. They installed new drainage, irrigation, sod, plants, and placed some concrete. Professional, reliable and on time. Highly recommend! I will continue to use him for future work.

    before the final clean up and planting of the new ground cover
    Bruce M.

    Had a small area of steep hillside partially slide in the big rains this winter, and I wanted to see what options there were to shore things up. My thoughts were the treated 6x6 lumber and build into a tiering series of walls and re-landscape it. Manuel came out quickly after calling to review and provide a bid. We talked about options and he was very clear in communication. His price seemed reasonable ( while still more than you would like but what else is new these days)... and his approach was similar to others who were on the more efficient side and way less than some companies that wanted a massive amount of money to over build the hell out of it . Again this was not a hillside holding anything up or that if it came down would do anything other than make a mess in my walkway. So I opted for the more sane/reasonable approach . And while a small area, this was still a difficult slope to work on because it was like an 80 degree angle! (see picture) . Sprinkler pipes also needed to be cut and redone and they did a good job on that and checked the sprinklers and even painted the pipes with spray paint I got them. His 3 workers took a week to do the job. One of the few jobs I have had around my home that went pretty much perfect. good clean up each day when they left. The construction of the short tiered walls was done right with rebar and cemented supported posts and even horizontal timbers going into the hill. I dont think this will be going anywhere... knock on wood. It actually looks nicer/better than before which was just a steep slope with ice plant on it. He brought in a lot more new plants than originally planned to replant the hillside, and didnt charge extra. Even got a big tarp and covered it for this weekends rain for extra protection, then is coming back on monday to remove the tarp. I would recommend Manuel for landscaping work and things requiring construction for sure.

    Damage from weed whacker on new play house
    Paola G.

    The work and service provided by Manuel and his team is beyond disappointing. The team had no consideration for my things and ruined a brand new outdoor play house with their weed whacker. To make matters worse, this wasn't the first time that they damaged my property. His team also cut through my Halloween decorations. I gave him and his team multiple opportunities to improve their work but it didn't work. The bottom line is that they do not do yard maintenance well. The weeds grew out of control and his team never properly pulled them when they started. They didn't prune my fruit trees in time to actually have a harvest this year; and they left the gate open multiple times where my dogs could get out. I never hired Manuel for large projects and perhaps his team is good at that but for bi-weekly yard maintenance I would not recommend this company. To add further insult to the situation... when I reached out to Manuel about the damage he apologized and never came back. Clearly he didn't have enough work ethic to try to fix the situation.

    After. New concrete patio and sod.
    Meghan M.

    Manuel and his team completely overhauled our backyard and did a fantastic job! We had a patchwork patio of concrete and flagstone at varying levels, old chain link fencing cutoff and buried in old concrete. We received multiple estimates from various contractors and Manuel gave us an affordable and honest quote. His team demolished everything, poured a new slab, installed new irrigation and sod in 5.5 days of work. It was amazing to see such hard work and dedication. We were so impressed that we've recommended Manuel Landscape to our friends and retained their services for maintenance. Highly recommend!

    Old yard space. Half way through project.

    We found Manuel through Yelp, and we are glad we did. First of all, this post isn't to get a discount, and we post this review honestly and willingly. Manuel successfully turned our old and tired backyard into our little paradise. He was competitive with pricing and completed the job on time and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of landscaping. We are actually going to use him for additional services since we liked him so much. If you want to work with an honest and trustworthy businessman, Manuel is your guy. Items he did: * new perimeter drains (French drains) * new patio w/ pavers * new sprinkler system * new drip line * new retaining wall w/ plants * new grass (fescue) * perimeter brick edging for grass * bark for perimeter edge areas

Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with. I had met with no fewer than nine landscape companies before Smart Landscape and they were nightmares for various reasons. Danny is wonderful to work with and makes sure the customer is happy.

Andrew H. came to my property on August 13, 2025, to give me a quote for installing pavers throughout my backyard. I explained very clearly that my number one requirement was correcting the slope so that rainwater would no longer flow toward my home. This was confirmed as a priority after multiple inspections from roof gutter companies and landscapers. I was scheduled to be out of town for five weeks, and I initially planned to wait until I got back. But Andrew assured me multiple times that they regularly work while homeowners are away, that everything would be monitored, and that I would return to a finished project done correctly in less than a week. Based on that reassurance, I agreed to let the project begin while I was gone. That decision turned into a nightmare. Project Problems From Day 1: Before work even began, I asked them to cover certain areas to prevent damage during concrete removal. 9/9/25: - Their vendor dropped pallets of pavers directly in front of my garage, completely blocking access. - The crew then said their wheelbarrows couldn't fit through the side gate because of how the AC unit was positioned. Andrew attempted to charge me $1,000 to move the AC the next day or $500 to do it on Saturday. - Andrew then insisted they could access the yard through my garage instead. I told him that was impossible due to the size of the wheelbarrows and the narrow door. He argued it would work and scheduled the job for September 13. Because of all this, I had to end my trip early, driving back from Northern California with my dogs on short notice. 9/12/25: When I checked my cameras, I saw the workers using the same wheelbarrows they said wouldn't fit and they did use the side gate anyway. When I got home, I saw: - My side gate pulled apart - My AC unit pushed up against the wall and held by a large rock None of this was discussed or approved. Andrew, who had been very present during the quote process, was nowhere to be found during the actual work. I ended up dealing with Jose (his manager?) instead. Even the lead worker, Eric, confirmed that the wheelbarrows never would have fit through the garage exactly what I had said from the beginning. And to make things worse, because their pallets blocked my garage, I couldn't have moved my car for 2 weeks. 9/17-18/25: - Rain water flows inside the garage because pavers were installed higher than door step. Their resolution was to put a a small circular drain in front of the door. 9/25/25: They "finished" the job, but the list of issues was long: - The side gate wouldn't open because they installed the pavers too high (they trimmed down the gate to resolve). - Polymeric sand was not installed correctly: it was patchy, missing in several areas. - My sliding door track was damaged from concrete debris and sand, even though I repeatedly asked them to cover it. - Worst of all: the paver grade was installed HIGHER than the threshold of my garage side door, exactly what I told them NOT to do. This means water gets trapped and pushed inside my garage; this was the entire problem I hired them to fix. The small drain did not do anything. It rained again from 11/15 - 11/21/25, and the water issues persist to this day. The most important part of the project and the reason I did it at all was not resolved. Andrew keeps mentioning that I need to have rain gutters installed, but I had them before and I know that it was not the issue. I had multiple vendors come out again for sanity check to tell me that gutters won't solve the drainage issue. From the misleading reassurances, to the damage to my property, to the poor workmanship, to the complete lack of accountability, this has been one of the worst contractor experiences I've ever had. I cannot recommend Rock N Block. I trusted them with an important project, and instead I'm left with new problems, unresolved issues, and property damage.
