He's now helping us decide on which installer to use. We've found Ian to be very easy to work with. A good listener. His original design was right on, great design, and we made very few tweaks. He did not nickel and dime us. He never made us feel uncomfortable asking questions or making revisions. He also understood we are budget conscious and never made us feel uncomfortable with wanting to do certain things on a budget - he totally got it. Great listener. He followed up when he was supposed to, very timely, very respectful. He was very easy to work with, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Will post pics at some point once we finish everything! We feel lucky to have found him.

The work turned out beautifully and am getting compliments from friends and neighbors.

Our experience with Justin's Professional Landscaping was very disappointing. We encountered…read moreserious workmanship and installation issues that could not be resolved directly with the contractor. We contracted for landscaping work, a redwood pergola, patio cover and a cement patio for just under 30k. We ended up having to file a complaint with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB), and after an independent inspection and mandatory arbitration, we were awarded $18,140 for the cost of repairs. The contractor ultimately paid the award in full to avoid loosing their Contractor's License and possibly their bond. Unfortunately, the arbitration process took almost a year and required significant time and effort. We would never use this contractor again but if you do, we would highly recommend that you perform thorough due diligence, make sure the contract spells everything out in detail to include specific dimensions, types of materials, etc., keep detailed records throughout the project and if any issues arise do not make any additional payments until all identified issues are resolved.

TLDR; My project suffered from poor planning, inadequate oversight, and unacceptable workmanship. I…read morewould advise others -- especially first-time homeowners -- to proceed with caution and consider other contractors. It took me over a year to emotionally recover from the trauma of working with this business as a first major renovation project. --- Long story below As a first major home improvement project (front yard and driveway remodel), I hired a separate professional designer, had 3D renderings made, selected materials in advance, and clearly communicated the desired aesthetic and expected quality to all bidding contractors. Justin's Professional Landscaping had strong early reviews and was responsive at first. I agreed to a contract requiring over 25% upfront payment (which I now regret). Key issues I experienced: - Repeated requests for payment before corresponding work was completed - An uncomfortable incident where the foreman (Justin's father) came to my home on an off-day claiming he hadn't been paid, despite my having already paid Justin. - Poor daily cleanup, resulting in my HOA issuing a notice - Minimal on-site supervision by Justin - Workmanship issues (photos available), including: A unleveled wall that started leaning forward shortly after installation, uneven capstones and a section creating a tripping hazard, poorly graded and uneven pavers, joint sand not installed promptly, and walkway that was not correctly aligned with my front door. By the time these issues surfaced, I had paid about 90% of the project cost, yet the work was incomplete and did not meet reasonable expectations. A revised scope was attempted for the wall only (against my better judgment), but supervision and execution problems continued. After observing additional mistakes, poor practices and lack of control over the crew, I terminated the contract.

I had to write a review about our experience with Roberto and his team. We did a full backyard…read moreremodel and could not be happier with the level of professionalism that Roberto brought to every stage of our project. It started with a 3D design which was helpful for us to envision what was possible. We then talked through the quote and made adjustments to fit our budget and meet our needs. Our project included cement work, pea gravel installation, sod installation, plantings and mulch, new irrigation, custom planters and trellis, removal and replacement of fence, and a retaining wall. We found Roberto to give honest and clear advice through all of our questions and he always responded quickly and gave us updates which was very helpful in helping us plan. With any unexpected things that came up during the work, we were so happy with the way Roberto addressed concerns and made sure that we were happy with the final results. He was knowledgeable about the plants we added and made sure to explain ongoing maintenance. We LOVE our new backyard and I am certain we will come back to Valley View for any future projects. Highly recommend!

After receiving estimates from five landscapers we decided to hire Roberto for phase 1 of our…read morebackyard project that included a lawn, irrigation, drainage and paths. We're glad we did! Right from the start, his communication was clear. He understood what we wanted and offered valuable suggestions on how to improve the design we had imagined. One VERY important consideration for us was that he was prompt responding to our original inquiry and each subsequent time we contacted him with additional questions. This was not the case with several other contractors we contacted. He and his crew were consistently on time, efficient in their work and extremely hard workers. His price was slightly better than the closest other estimate we received and he held to the agreed price without any additional charges even though he went above and beyond what was specified. Without hesitation we highly recommend Valley View Landscape for any landscaping project you might have. The value Roberto brought to our project is greatly appreciated. We'll be calling him next year for phase 2 of our project!

Raul spent the entire day yesterday working on my yard-- the yard looks incredible and Raul *really* worked hard.

Raul is a veteran and is the person you're looking for if you have yard and landscaping needs. He quoted me a very fair price and he lived up to the recommendation-- and more. I plan to have Raul out to work on my property regularly at this point. If you are looking for an honest and hardworking person for your yard, I highly recommend Raul and 9 Line.

Again nothing against these folks, just disappointed. :(
