    After Michael's team leveled land, laid weed barriers and wood chips. Beautiful work!

    I wholeheartedly recommend Michael and his team! On my two- acre property, they created pathways, laid a 40' x 8' foundation for a building, leveled land, made new garden beds, removed weeds and laid weed barriers and wood chips. They planted five trees, too. His attention to detail and, importantly, care for his team were exceptional! Michael is honest, personal, professional, and dedicated to excellence. I look forward to using his services again in the very near future. Don't hesitate to hire him. He won't disappoint.

    Owner, Michael Gaskey and his father Mike are solutions driven landscapers. Tell them what you want and they'll work with you to make it happen. It is refreshing to find professionals who are interested in designing and implementing a landscape that will work over the long haul-NOT just for two or three years. MJ Smartscape helped us with drainage, prepping and installing sod, installing and correcting irrigation, selecting and placing moss rock, selecting and installing plants, and pruning. BTW, if you wish, they will personally select moss rock, deliver, and place them. I've discovered that during low water condition, rocks add shape, color, and a nice focal point in your landscape. It saves on cost, water AND yard maintenance. They've truly made our dry riverbed special by adding ledge stones and adding dark and light rock to give it the illusion of depth and dimension. It is especially gorgeous when it rains. Because of their extensive experience they can easily offer a design to meet your vision. They are keenly aware of your garden environment: sun, slope, plantings, soil condition, irrigation and more. Keen observation helps the budget and keeps you from making the wrong decisions over the long term. For example, no matter how hard I wish Forsythia will not grow in the shade, a redwood tree needs room to expand, tree roots can be a challenge to nearby grass and plants, water will not drain uphill. Common sense you say, but look around and you'll see yards languishing long after landscapers have left. MJ Smartscape will offer you options that will work with your vision and leave you happier over the long term. If you have a landscape challenge, they'll most likely have a solution that will meet your needs whether it is design, planting, or hardscape. It will help if you state your goal clearly, have a reasonable budget in mind, and keep an open mind if alternatives are offered because of landscape conditions.

He is a true professional and stands behind his work. We had 23 sprinkler heads replaced and Tony came by with a really fair offer and showed up when he said he would. The work was done in just a few short hours and he went above and beyond. Tony identified a drip line issue, a sprinkler head that should be moved to another spot, and a tree that needed to be trimmed. He did all three on his own at no charge! My lawn looks fantastic with an even spread. A few weeks later, one of the sprinkler heads snapped and he came by same day and replaced them no charge! I'm so glad I came across QD Landscaping as they have found a customer for life. More work coming soon Tony!

Tony was very responsive, came over to quote within 2 days. Tony gave us a very reasonable quote and brought over samples to choose from. I requested to have it installed before Easter (4 weeks out) but he was going on a three week vacation so it would have to be after. That was fine with us. He called in just a few days and said he could get it done next week, before he leaves. We were able to watch the entire process and boy were he and his uncle quick, efficient and CLEAN. We are very happy.

    My husband and I worked with Henry to finish up our backyard. We had concrete for half our backyard…read moreand the other half had my planters and dirt. We had the idea to add pavers with turf in between and they truly turned our vision into a reality. Henry was great with communicating and very easy to work with. Their quality of work is fantastic. We love our backyard! It took two days to get everything done which included digging, leveling, adding pavers, turf and sloping everything to ensure water moves to a drain. Highly recommend Henry and his team!

    3.75/5.0 Stars. Tony Tran and his crew completed concrete, drainage, irrigation and tree hole work…read morefor us at fair prices. We appreciate that he was on time, built solid forms and even suggested additional drainage improvements. The finished result is better than that of a previous contractor. That said, there were some issues that detracted from the experience. We observed several crew members urinating in our yard and Tony made light of it so we had to address the workers ourselves to use a bathroom. There was also a miscalculation in the amount of concrete needed; while Tony completed the job at no extra charge using bagged concrete-which we appreciate-the situation could have been handled better from the outset given his level of experience, use a tape measure. Cleanup was a concern. The crew left behind concrete residue on surfaces like the driveway requiring several hours of my time to sweep and scrape. In summary, while the quality of the finished work is good improvements in professionalism, planning accuracy and post job cleanup would make a significant difference in the overall experience. Without these issues he's a solid 4.0/5.0 stars but we had the issues. I also overpaid $50 and my text hasn't been answered. Like many contractors here having tried to get us to pay more during the job he probably decided to keep it. 916-230-7995 is his cell.

They did not skimp on quality of effort nor quality of work. Like every homeowner project the need for good communication is key to a happy outcome. Steve outshines in this area. He listened to me describe mine and my yard's individual need. I had a nightmare situation of invasive tree roots growing from under the fence from adjoining neighbors excessively thorny trees. The consequence were thorny tree shoots growing throughout my backyard and its sucker branches popping up on every 2-3 inches along the way. It eventually took over my lawn area by 25ft + in every direction. And it was growing longer! This made it impossible to walk on the lawn and enjoy without being stabbed and bloodied by long sharp thorns. I needed these tree roots traced and dug out completely all the way to the fence line before applying new landscaping. Gaspar and Henry did an excellent job of removing each one of these multiple roots by hand digging. Very laborious and yet they handled it well in the hot summer sun and doing a complete and excellent job. They did it quickly and I thank them tremendously. I had to make the hard but wise choice of not re-sodding and no longer having a lawn. Steve was very patient and guided me to the right choices of landscape material that would help me eliminate this problem from reoccurring on my yard. Steve and his crew (Gaspar and Henry) were a blessing and gave me back my yard. Thank you, sincerely. It was a great experience to work with Awaken Landscapes. I would use them again.

Kept me updated on the progress. It only took the crew a day and a half to do all the work. I drew up my own design and chose the plants myself for height, sun and water needs so I can't speak of their expertise in that area, but they did exactly what I wanted and I'm very pleased with the outcome. Here are before and after pics. Quite the improvement.

They were recommended to us by a friend and I'm so glad that we went with them. We had our initial quote done a year ago by Matt who was so respectful, honest, and responsive. However, life happened and we decided to postpone our landscaping project. But when the time came to revisit our landscape project, I knew I wanted to reach out to them again. They were in my top two choices because of the impression that Matt made a year ago, their reasonable price, and the company also seemed to have an organized system. This time we met with Firas and Yasmine. Firas also exhibited the same level of professionalism as Matt and was so easy to talk to. He communicated well with us and checked up on our project regularly. Our yard might be considered a smaller project for the company but it didn't seem like it with the amount of attention that they provided. We also really appreciate how hands-on Yasmine was with helping us design our project. She was also very flexible with the changes that we needed to make. Problems were solved and issues were fixed without any defensive excuses. We are also thankful for her knowledge and recommendations with regards to our plant choices. Lasly, we had a stellar crew that worked on our yard. It was only 2-3 people at a time who worked on our project which made it more personal. Our main landscape foreman was Jorge and he was detail-oriented and went above expectations. He and the crew made sure that they cleaned up the workplace everytime, they were mindful of the noise pollution, helped us navigate the drip irrigation system, and educated us on maintaining our new yard. Also, as a bonus, I noticed that they segregated their trash properly between regular trash, recycling materials, and green waste. A little thing but speaks volume of their work ethic. Just honestly impressed by the crew's level of professionalism and respectfulness. They're efficient, responsive, and mindful. We have met with different contractors and worked with a great number of people, and I would place the landscaping crew that worked with us in the top 1%. As a whole, they make a great team and I highly recommend working with this company.
