This was my very first time hiring anybody to do any sort of landscaping work. I was ignorant going…read moreinto it so I had to lean heavily into the landscapers expertise on what would be best for what I wanted to achieve. After getting a few quotes, I chose Lee's Concrete because he impressed me the most with the ideas he presented, not being pushy or sales-y, while also staying competitive price wise. He is also officially licensed for concrete. The project started around May 2025, and completed towards the end of July 2025. It consisted of concrete pouring, artificial turf installation, irrigation routing and laying out gravel/river rocks in planting areas. Also, a 2D layout diagram was provided for me to submit to HOA for approval. Below is a list of critiques ranked starting with my biggest letdowns: #1) WEEDS. Not via the concrete, but the artificial turf that was laid out. Lee offered artificial turf installs during my contractor search. My main reason for getting artificial turf was to have little-to-no maintenance. But, mines constantly has weeds growing out of the edges due the gap in the ends not being sealed. My next door neighbor had artificial turf installed by another landscaper and never has any weeds growing out of the edges ever. They had theirs installed after mine. Maybe it was my fault for not communicating that need initially. But at the same time, I thought having artificial turf laid out and it preventing weed growth on the edges would be a given. #2) Blotchy concrete coloring on front yard. My backyard's concrete coloring was pretty consistent and I was very happy with how it turned out. But my front yard was very blotchy and inconsistent. I was told that this is normal and will take about a year to cure and to give it time. Another reason was for differing "pH levels" for the area where the concrete was laid. Well... a year has passed and it has kind of improved here and there, but not so much in other parts. So, I'm a little hesitant to believe it that is actually the reason. It doesn't make sense to me that all the concrete laid out in my entire neighborhood doesn't look as bad as how it looks on my driveway. Structurally, it's fine. But it is a bit of an eye-sore looking at it every time I'm in my front yard. #3) I felt like I spent more time than I needed to checking for imperfections. A main one was my vinyl fence and cinder block wall getting dirty from the concrete pours. Another big one was the cinder block retaining wall in my backyard not being symmetrical on the edges. I had to call it out a few times to even get it fixed. Once it was finally fixed, my vinyl fence had residue from the cinderblock wall fix. By that time, I had gotten fatigue from having to constantly call out imperfections and let that one go. #4) You don't really know when the landscapers will come out to do the work. If I remember correctly, they would come out most weekdays. But, you wouldn't know if they would show up the next day or not. Not too big of a deal honestly. I'm more picky about this because I like to keep the side gate to my backyard locked and not knowing when to unlock it in the morning was just a tiny annoyance. I ended up just unlocking it first thing in the morning and locking it in the evening every weekday. Overall, I'd rate the project a 3 or 3.5 out of 5 - which I think is a very fair assessment. I'm relatively happy how it looks at the end. But there were a few bumps along the way which is why I cannot give a 5 out of 5. It pains me to write the above critiques and not be able to give the highest rating because Lee and the rest of his team were all very nice people. But there definitely could've have been improvements for the entire project.

I originally hired him to put cement around my swimming pool and Salo explained the different types of stamped cement, which I was not familiar with. What a difference the stamped cement made! We were so happy we continued to cement the majority of my upper yard. He also did our wall and pillars in the backyard. Salo went the extra mile by suggesting ideas for lighting under the pillars which I ended up doing. It made such a big difference in my backyard! I again hired him to do my whole front driveway. He again mentioned lighting ideas for underneath the step which I would've never thought of. It came out so beautiful and what a difference it made. It literally changed my whole curb appeal! Salo has competitive pricing and there's never surprises. He's always upfront about everything. He is in constant contact and explain the process throughout. I just used Salo again for some concrete work in Pomona, the majority of the backyard and some driveway. And again, I was very happy with the results.

His customer service was outstanding especially given that we weren't the easiest to deal with. He's very transparent with pricing, options and the whole process. His family has been in the business for generations so he knows his craft well.

It all started when I received a letter from the city stating I couldn't have dirt in my yard, or…read morerather a yard that consisted of entirely dirt. I thought living in a non-HOA house meant people would just leave me alone, but noooo. In any case, I had to figure out a way to pay for our yard. Several companies came by and gave me estimates, but I couldn't afford a large one-time payment of any kind (gas is $6+ nowadays and don't get started on groceries). That's when I stumbled upon Oasis Turf & Hardscape. Jay came by and, my goodness, he was just a really cool guy. He didn't try to upsell me on anything, gave me all the options, and helped design a beautiful layout for us on his Ipad. He even suggested several ways I could save money by doing certain things myself. I appreciate that. And to top it all off, our dog, Chi Chi, didn't bark at him AT ALL (she doesn't take to everyone initially, but was very calm with Jay - a good sign in my book). Fast forward a few weeks and BOOM! We have a GOOOORGEOUS front yard AND back yard...we didn't realize this because we spent all our time just decorating the first (and last) house we recently bought (honestly, I don't get why people say this, it's like they're nomads), but when the outside yards were completed...it felt more like a home than ever before. We sat outside in the back yard playing catch with Chi Chi and, though she was initially confused at first, she was having a blast in just a minute or two. She loved smelling the air, retrieving the ball, and just wanting us to chase her around. It was...great! And in the front yard? It's FULLY functional! We sat out there as well just hanging out on one of our auction estate sales that we picked up - 2 metal lawn chairs with footrests and a table than will eventually have an umbrella. Shout out to Pops for giving them an excellent paint job. :) Shout out to Sean and the crew as well, I apologize for not listing all your names, but you all did an EXCELLENT job! Simply beautiful. Now all I need to do is get one of those push lawn mower thingies on Amazon for the backyard since there's a singular tree that happens to enjoy dropping the occasional twig here and there...it does give a little shade though, so it's not entirely annoying. With all that said, we HIGHLY recommend the company. They do outstanding work. And, Jay, feel free to come by whenever with your son. As it stands I still have the high score on Missile Command on the Atari ;)

My wife and I have a new-build that required additional landscaping of our backyard. We eventually decided to go with California Outdoor Living after reading all their positive reviews on yelp. In addition their quote was very competitive if not the best when looking at other contractors. We already had a design in mind for JC which made the process very quick. Although there was some misunderstanding with the design and drains throughout the process, JC was always responsive with his texts and quick to make adjustments. The moment we got our design approved by our HOA, the construction happened VERY FAST. We emailed California Outdoor living on a Wednesday evening of our approval. The very next day (Thursday), JC arrived to go over the outline. I do appreciate how fast things were done, but it was almost to a fault at times. They were ready to go by the next day but my wife and I didn't feel like we had discussed the plan and execution thoroughly enough. On Friday the construction workers were already digging out our backyard. They spoke only Spanish so communication was very difficult to ensure if our plan was executed appropriately. By Saturday all of the pavers were laid out. Construction was incredibly fast but because of that some details were lost in translation. We discussed with JC that we wanted an 11x14 ft paver island. However the final dimensions was 12.5 x 12.5 feet. We also wanted all the walls of our backyard to be lined with turf. However the paver border ran too close to one of the walls, that putting turf did not make sense. They only left 1 inch between the wall and the paver (see attached image). We appreciate how fast the work was done. The overall work was great BUT not exactly what we wanted. We felt rushed with the whole construction process. However everything was done in less than a week which was incredible! In addition, once the turf was laid out JC noted that window reflections from both our neighbors and our own windows would cause damage to the turf. He informed us this can happen sometimes. Going back to rushing things and not being thorough, we wished JC took the time to look at our backyard and factor in this possibility. If we had known the reflections could damage this area we would have changed our turf design. At the end of the day they are just executing our design, but it's these minor things that left us feeling like our backyard could have been better. However we are still very thrilled with the overall speed and communication done throughout the process! Would still recommend this company. But these small critiques are definitely something to keep in mind for future clients.
