Day A.

This is long overdue but wanted to say what a great experience we had working with MS Gardening. I initially got my front yard designed by another company but they were charging us way over our budget. We got several quotes from other companies and decided to work with Tony. He seemed the most affordable and worked within our budget. Tony was very easy to work with, professional, and provided great alternatives to certain projects. Our front yard was a big undertaking. We added a retaining wall, light fixtures, paving, etc. I think he quoted us a month but he was able to get it done in 3 weeks. We will still add plants but will follow up with tony during the spring season. I will be consulting MS Gardening for my Backyard work as well.

Tony and MS Gardening took on our landscaping project this year. We had a full re-landscaping in mind for our entire 5000 square feet backyard, court yard and front yard, and this was simultaneous with our indoor remodel. Since we live in an Eichler, our goal was to create a seamless design that would work well to improve the indoor-outdoor living experience. Tony gave us a really competitive quote and understood our intentions and style. Tony with team demolished all our old concrete and landscaping. His team did all the groundwork for the new concrete driveway, walkways, and retaining walls. Tony managed a subcontractor who poured all our new concrete which turned out exactly the way we wanted it. Tony and team then prepared and installed all drainage, drip water and sprinkler systems, outdoor lights, built two large flush Ipe decks, built a custom bench as part of one of the decks, picked up plants all over the Bay for us, planted plants, installed gravel, and advised us about our existing mature trees and their maintenance. Tony told us the project would take 3 months and he finished up within that timeline, which is very impressive. Choosing to work with Tony was the best decision we could have made. This is his own company, so he takes true pride in his work. Tony is honest, patient, kind, communicative and he is a man who keeps his word. We have been so impressed by how he has handled stressful situations with incredible patience and has always kept his spirits up. That has helped us to remain calm as well throughout a stressful remodel. We are very particular clients and Tony has always been respectful of our wishes and design intent. His team work so hard, rain or shine, and they worked simultaneously with many other contractors throughout this project and the whole team handled it with such professionalism and calm. I can't recommend Tony and MS Gardening enough. We will never work with anyone else for our landscaping or gardening needs. Thank you Tony!

Before

I'm writing a revised post because of subsequent events. Yes. The initial result was what I described... BUT 1. We discussed placing gravel on the new walkways. - When I called to discuss this further (several times in the course of a few weeks.), I was placed in voicemail. - I left a message. No response. - There are now weeds and "volunteers" appearing in those paths (because there was no barrier set up to prevent this from happening. 2. In fact, when I did have the work done (in April - see my original comment) I had asked to have some other pieces moved etc and that was ignored or overlooked. At the time I was so pleased with the improvements, I didn't feel it was worth mentioning. 3. Lastly, there are two valves that he connected to the irrigation he installed. They are the old valves and leak. He never replaced or fixed them - I believe that work should have been included in the estimate he gave me. Since then, one of the shrubs he planted is in the process of dying - so I'm not even sure at this point that sufficient drip lines were laid. I believe Tony knows he has the ability to be a good landscaper. Unfortunately, because he services the San Jose area and agreed to come up to Redwood City, it would appear that he doesn't feel it's worth the effort.

Tony and his crew did an amazing job on our new yard. They did a complete remodel of our yard and we are happy with the outcome. Would definitely use them again for any yard work that's needed.

Tony was a pleasure to do business with. He was responsive and punctual. Did a great job cutting down my tree and cleaning up afterwards.

Still planning on putting some plants but at this point low maintenance

Long overdue review. Tony and his team helped us to remove overgrowing weeds and replace them with rock. We wanted something that was low maintenance and received great advice from Tony in the options. When the crew came to do the work, they were fast and efficient. My yard has been transformed. Highly recommend Tony and his team.

We needed a total makeover for both our front and backyard. We contacted Tony with MS Gardening, and he was able to come out promptly and discuss what needed to be done. Communication with Tony was great throughout the entire process, he replied to our questions via email/text the same day and explained work details well. Tony and his team worked tirelessly 7 days a week and finished the work approximately within 3 weeks. We are very pleased with the results. We had the following work done: cement, planters, sod, planted trees and bushes, put in rocks and mulch, installed irrigation system. We definitely recommend Tony and MS Gardening for anyone who needs landscaping done!

Great service from MS garden. Tony is very responsible for their job. there is a small accident . My window was broken by small rock while removing old concreate. They do fix it before finishing the job.

I'll bet you are doing the same thing I did a few months ago. Looking for a reference about MS Gardening. Are they any good? Let me save you some time, answer: Absolutely and you should hire them. Look no further. Enough said. But I'm sure you want more details. Tony and his whole crew are: · Professional · Experienced in new lawn replacement and maintenance · Courteous · Hard working and always on time · Conscientious and payed attention to details · Clean and organized Tony, the owner is very knowledgeable about gardening, plants, lawns, irrigation, and more. He was a pleasure to work with and over all just a great and friendly guy. He replaced my whole front yard and all the surrounding plants. You can see from the pictures this was not a small job. I was so impressed with his professional attitude and work I fired my landscaper and have hired his maintenance crew. I'm very happy with their work.

Being billed for service not being completed.

I've been with this gardening service for a couple of years and noticed there is an ongoing inconsistency with the service. There's many times they don't show up. They also try to continue to bill for service that's not even done or not fully completed. If you choose to use this gardening service watch your billing. Also, there selective on returning calls, if you need to discuss any concerns. I'm still waiting for a return call from the owner Tony to discuss my concern, my backyard being missed more then a few times and still getting billed. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

This involved pouring over 1,500 sq. ft. of concrete, a large retaining wall, a patio deck, a new lawn, and a playground area. Here were some of the highlights of my experience: - Design Guidance: I relied heavily on Baltazar's experience and keen sense of design. His elegant hardscaping solution for the pool transition zones exceeded my expectations and tied the yard together perfectly. - The grading and drainage were very well done. Despite heavy rains, there was zero pooling; the rain gutters were routed directly into pipes beneath the concrete for a clean, streamlined look. - Smart Home Integration: All landscape lighting and irrigation were hooked up to smart-home enabled controllers for total automation and convenience. - The office staff was very responsive, addressing any concerns or follow-up questions usually within a single business day. Props to Gladys and Dahlia! Highly recommended!

It was over 3500 sq ft of lawn and irrigation, as well as concrete fixes around other parts of our property and pool tile repair. I chose them because they had the best strategy to combat the problem, even though they weren't the cheapest quote we received. I wanted the fix to last long term, not just hold me over for a year or two before another gopher invasion destroys our yard. Everything was extremely professional and delivered to contract specifications. We were extremely happy with the results. They had to move a portion of our fence to get the big equipment in but you wouldn't even know it had been moved because they were total pros putting things back. When we asked for additional scope of work (a French drain), they were quick to get back to me with a quote and incorporating the additional work didn't push out the timeline. All in all, highly recommend and we'll definitely use them again for our landscaping needs.

Carlos, the…read moreowner of the company, is a delightful person to interact with because he is dedicated to providing the best product out there. We requested Carlos give us a quote for grass installation in our backyard, and he responded immediately, came out to take measurements, and gave us a great quote. Once we agreed, he quickly scheduled the installation. He and his men said it would take two days, and they were totally correct - at the end of two days we had an amazing yard at great value. It was an excellent investment; we loved spending in our backyard after that. We asked All Green Scape to come out again to install even more grass, and they once again provided excellent service in an incredibly timely manner. The grass has thrived beautifully- it is really high quality, both lush and soft. Kids love to roll around on it and play on it all day long. All Green Scape also does our weekly garden maintenance and it's been great as well. You can tell everyone at All Green Scape sincerely cares about making sure their customer's gardens are beautiful, and I really appreciate their expertise and hard wo.

He patiently answered all my questions and clearly explained how the work would be done in such a tight area (including hand excavation instead of using machinery). He also responded quickly to my follow-up questions after sending the estimate. The pricing was within the average range, and since our project was relatively small, he was able to fit us into the schedule earlier than expected. The crew arrived on time each day and completed the project in three days, as estimated. Young was on-site throughout to oversee the work and even checked in with me about small aesthetic details to make sure everything looked right before proceeding. A minor HOA debris issue (my oversight) was resolved quickly. The finished pavers look absolutely stunning, and they're holding up beautifully nearly two months later.

The price was reasonable (not the cheapest or the most expensive). The day before the project Young came over again and placed the trees exactly where they needed to go. I appreciated this because I could see how the fina placement would look like and make adjustments. The morning of the project his 3 crew members arrived on time and got stared. Young joined in and they were all done well before the end of the day. They do landscaping including pavers and lighting. I will definitely use them again for future projects.

Another very happy customer of South Bay Design and Landscaping…read more We had South Bay out to do a full demolition of the existing "landscaping" from when we bought our house and the installation of an entirely new plan from our landscape designer (check out Dawn Engel- she's great!), which included a patio space, a pergola, driveway extensions, hogwire fence, raised planter beds, and a side gate added to our existing fence. These guys do not mess around. Demolition went insanely quickly, and our property was kept neat and tidy the entire time. We never once saw dirt tracked anywhere by the crew, which we can't say the same for any of the other contractors we've worked with (and we're actually quite happy with some of them!), and which becomes even more insane to think about when you consider the nature of landscaping work. Installation went as smoothly as South Bay possibly could have made it. Any time we ran into the occasional hiccup, as happens with all nontrivial projects, Matt, Danny, and Marcus offered thoughtful suggestions and made sure to confirm exactly what we wanted before proceeding. (We had either or both of Matt and Danny on-site most days of our project, and interacted with Marcus via email.) We were delayed a smidge by some heavy rain, but the crew worked through all but the worst of it (talking "if you step in that mud, you're going to lose a boot" type of rain). Partway through the install, we discovered that the previous landscapers had managed to make the L-shaped pathway leading from our driveway to our front door square with nothing- which wasn't easily noticed until we had the planter beds in and hogwire fence line chalked out. (South Bay had laid those out properly square to the driveway and house, as per our plan.) Matt, Danny, and crew were thankfully able to accommodate our request to fix our pathway up by picking up each segment and pushing the out-of-square part over by 4-6 inches; this added about a week of extra time to our project, mostly due to the fact that not all of the pavers could be reused, and that the pavers had actually been discontinued (!). The guys worked around this by sourcing very similar pavers in a different size, and basically cutting and grinding them to match our existing pavers. Post-install, the only way you'd know there are two different pavers in our pathway is if you'd seen it being taken apart and rebuilt. Plants, irrigation, and lighting all went in straightforwardly after the hardscaping work was finished, and Danny gave us a complete walkthrough of all our new outdoor systems. It's been about a week since our project was completed; the plants are all thriving, and we're still ecstatic about our new yards (and so are our neighbors!). In short: we had a fantastic experience working with South Bay Design and Landscaping for our landscaping project. They take pride in doing a quality job, and it shows in everything from demolition to day-to-day jobsite management to the finished project. If you're looking for landscapers, these are your guys. (Special thanks to Matt and Danny for graciously handling my incessant "are you sure you didn't forget about such-and-such little detail?" questions and never once forgetting about any of the details, and also to Sergio for spending basically an entire Saturday morning troubleshooting what ultimately turned out to be a manufacturing issue with our pergola.)

My husband and I could not be happier with their high-quality and detailed work. The new deck was not only laid out beautifully, but extremely well constructed. We were particularly impressed by the sub-structure of the deck, where no corners were cut. It is heavy-duty, with meticulous care taken to the waterproofing and drainage underneath. Matt's crew consisted of hard working and skilled professionals, all of whom were delightful to work with. I am sure that we will enjoy our lovely backyard for many years to come, and I could not thank Southbay more or recommend them more highly.

Again, with much Prayers for God's Guidance, Directions we contacted for 3 Bids. One company with the initials of SL on Yelp great reviews was not a pleasant experience for us. They wanted Photos before they would even consider to bid. After much stress I did the photos, took the measurements as requested. I didn't expect them to come out to bid but they did and their bid was very high. I kept on praying and D&I Landscaping appeared and had great Yelp reviews. My initial reaction was Alyssa Torres was my first contact very personable and then we booked for Luis Blanco to come out to access our needs. No request for measurements or photos at all. Our job was easier only because my hubby knew what he wanted to have done and gave them his Vision and with their advice and help we tweaked a few things. Pavers is not an easy job especially when there's already Pavers installed, the guy I watched him and he was so methodical and kept placing Pavers down until he felt that he got the flow down and it was an amazing and challenging job but he did very well in my opinion. What we Love about D&I , is one of the owners Irving and their Designer Luis came over to meet with us. D&I doesn't charge for a Designer as some other companies do its part of their services. Irving, David, Luis and Alyssa and the entire Crew are so professional again this company was very Honest, Reputable, Hardworking and most of all they listen to our needs. One time our water spigot started leaking or spouting and we have this Project Group Text that they set up for us, all we do is text and within a few minutes David one of the owners showed up and turned it off while we were gone. They installed a water spigot that is easy for us to reach. They finished our Irrigation system along with installing a Rain Bird timer. It's hard to find a good honest company with Integrity but this company has it. Remember the company with the Initials SL think of S = a hard rock. Well... we had 3 bids which included backyard and front yard. When I called SL company and explained change of plans not doing the backyard she said oh, well that changes your front yard quote by 8 - 10% I was livid are you kidding me? No, it changes your price, the Lord quickly had me shut the door on this company bad feelings from the time I contacted them had to do measurements and photos. When the guy showed up,from SL, I told him you're young but you are passing on small jobs because you don't have time, let me tell you something passing on small job could lead you to something bigger, he was cordial and what was funny was after I went into the house he took measurements. When during our conversation I said how can you bid without taking measurements he replied because I've been doing this a long time really you're not even 40 Years old. D&I I contacted them to not include our backyard sent me a new quote penny for penny they just took off the back yard quote the front yard stayed the same. Honesty and Integrity goes a long way plus they don't charge us for a Porta Potty as SL did on our quote $250 for a Porta Potty folks she said unless you want the crew into your house to potty. I did let our Painters use our restroom which is fine they're in our house anyway and they were so professional and kind to us. To each its own. Looking for good Quality Work, a company with Honesty, Interity and a great ideas on your Landscaping this is the company and we had Carpenter Bees in one of our Post. David one of the owners worked really hard into the dark repairing it and he also placed the boulders back onto our neighbors lot for them. Irving drops by to check on the progress of our project. Who does all of these extras? D&I Landscaping give them a call for a quote no job too big or small for them. One of our neighbors hired them shortly after seeing them here at our house for over a week.

Within 1 week D&I had dug everything up, removed these trees and unwanted bushes and covered the entire area with weed cloth and pea gravel. They planted some really gorgeous flowers and shrubs, and set up irrigation so it's super low maintenance. The neighbors have commented that they love how the front lawn looks now! D&I are very communicative, kind, and give a fresh perspective to things. For example, I was thinking about redoing my backyard which I thought was stamped concrete. D&I inspected it and told me they are real flagstone and it's expensive and not worth replacing. I really appreciated that they weren't trying to squeeze every last penny out of us. They're trustworthy and I can't recommend them enough!

After looking around online, we found 101 Landscape and reached out. Alex got back to us quickly and came by to check out the space and talk through what we had in mind. We ended up doing a full refresh across the driveway, front, side, and backyard. In the front, we replaced the concrete driveway with pavers, added a grass lawn, and included a decorative planting area. Along the side and in the backyard, we replaced all the concrete with pavers, added more grass, and created another mulched planting area for low-maintenance landscaping. Since it was such a big project, we spent a lot of time in the design phase to make sure we'd be happy with the long-term results. Alex was very patient and flexible with us throughout the process. Once we gave the green light, the crew started pretty quickly and finished in about 3 weeks, which was impressive given all the demolition, hardscaping, and softscaping involved. The quality of the work really shows (see photos) and they even pressure washed the front and back upon completion. Cost-wise, it was definitely an investment, but we feel like we got great value for the quality and scope of the work. We're really happy with how everything turned out and can't wait to enjoy our new outdoor spaces. Would definitely recommend 101 Landscape to anyone looking for a full outdoor upgrade!
