When another contractor applied the wrong stain to our fence, Julio stepped in to correct the mistake. He was patient, communicative, and worked with us to get the color right. We recently had someone from the company do some landscaping. The work was satisfactory, though the quote felt quite high. I would suggest requesting an itemized breakdown of plant costs and labor. I also asked for quotes on landscape lighting, concrete work, and ongoing plant maintenance, but never received a response, which was disappointing.

I would love to give this company a better review and am happy to edit it if things change…read more So let me tell you the reason for the 2 star review and why it may be so different then the norm. I hired De'Guerrero Design in late October to do a front year makeover. What was requried in the makeover is as follows: 1. taking out a lot of dirt, some big rocks, and some dead plants from our front yard. 2. prepare the ground and put pavers along with rocks in 2 area, and in the third area (largest) put in artificial turf. 3. build a fence with a gate (3 foot tall) made of metal supports and wood slats. 4. Putting in a larger gate to replace one we already had to match the new fence going in. (what I thought was part of the project but ended up not part of it... see later notes on this) I also made it very clear when in conversation with them and other competitors that everything needs to be 100% done and fixed by Thanksgiving as we are having a large gathering at our place and we wanted it to look great by that time. They agreed to this and said it would be no problem to have everything done and good before then. First day they said they were going to start they showed up at around 3 pm and were there for a few hours before finishing. This isn't a bad thing, just a note. As long as things finish when they say the are going to, all is good. Things proceeded pretty well for the most part. 1st problem came when they started bringing the fence in. It was made as I said, but they said they they "added" a bottom horizontal slat (which I stated from the beginning saying I wanted) and because they added that from the original design, it was going to be an extra $400 from quoted, which I didn't quite understand because that is how I explained I wanted the fence originally. This wasn't a huge deal though, as I am used to changes in costs as construction is done. 2nd problem: As stated in point 4 of original plan, I expected that the quote included replacing the larger gate door to match the fence that they were putting in. They put a gate into our contract but they argued that that was the small gate in the front of the fence and adding a matching gate to replace our gate would cost an addition $1,500-$2,000, which was outside of our budget so we declined. Even with those two things, everything else seemed to be going well, they were working fast, and replied quickly with their communications. They have said many times that they would not be done till we were completely happy. They finished Friday, November 7th. Well I say finished in the sense that everything was put in. However, there were a few problems. Problems they said they would fix as it was their fault. Here are the problems that have happened only a few days after installing the fence. There were a few other problems, but they fixed them, like they installed the door handle incorrectly and they forgot to make a hole for the handle. The following problems have yet to be fixed 1. Bent boards. There are two boards that are bent out about 4 inches past the rest of the boards. 2. Before staining and installing the boards, they didn't think to take off all the labeling on the wood, such as skew marks, company labels and the such. There are 7 on the outside and 6 on the inside. This totaled 13 in all. 3. the metal has already started to scratch and rust due to normal wear and tear. like closing the door. This is 1 week after installation. There was another spot they scratched up from their installation as well. I communicated this from 11/6- 11/8. I was promised multiple times that it would be finished before Thanksgiving. The first promise was for 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, Then they said, they were busy with other clients and would help me the following week (1 week before Thanksgiving) and still promising it would be done before Thanksgiving. That week before (11/17-11/24) they didn't reply till Wednesday saying they would be there later in the week. They never came. I asked several times with no response till the day before Thanksgiving (11/26) asking for specific numbers and pictures of what needs to replace and to send it to another number. I sent it to both the new number as well as the one I have been in communication since. After this, they have been ghosting me and for 5 days now I have tried to call and text (leaving voicemails as well) trying to get a hold them but have received nothing back. I have not been rude in any of this and have been asking kindly and they have yet to fulfill many of their promises. It is now 12/1 in the evening and no response from them as of yet. I will update this post as well as change the stars if any of this changes and if they are able to fix their mistakes. Here's to hoping they will. I guess my lesson for the day is never give final payment before they have fixed the issues they have messed up and in that I will say that was my mistake.

This company is very fast and JC always maintained strong communication. There were some minor…read moredisappointments, but overall we were happy with the work that was done. 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.

I would not recommend this company. Their lack of attention to detail made the entire experience…read moreunpleasant. The drainage tube was installed with the slope going the wrong direction, and the walls were not properly covered before the concrete was poured, leaving concrete splatter all over the side walls. The concrete also cracked less than three days after it was poured. It was poured on Monday morning, and on Wednesday the artificial turf guy was using a large plate compactor right next to the two-day-old concrete. I believe the vibration from that equipment contributed to the cracking. When I spoke with JC about the issue, he told me that concrete will crack sooner or later and that is why they do not warranty cracks. Concrete was poured directly on top of the soil, no gravel was brought first. While I understand that concrete can crack over time, I did not expect it to crack before I had even made my final payment. Despite my disappointment, I paid the remaining balance. After that, I never received any follow-up confirmation that the payment was received , or even a simple thank you.

I originally connected with them through Thumbtack for a sizable project and scheduled an appointment for Thursday, June 4th at 11:00 a.m. The appointment was canceled just 20 minutes before they were due to arrive. To salvage the opportunity, the salesperson, Chris, texted me and offered to come the following day at noon instead, along with a 5% discount for the inconvenience. I rearranged my schedule twice to accommodate them during what was already an exceptionally difficult time, as I was preparing to say goodbye to my 16-year-old dog that weekend. Chris did arrive on Friday as promised, but a week has now passed and I have received neither a bid nor any follow-up communication from anyone at the company. Shortly after the appointment, their Thumbtack profile was also removed or hidden. While I can't say why, the timing was odd, as it prevented me from leaving a review on the platform where we originally connected. I've uploaded screenshots with this review documenting the interaction, including Chris's last-minute cancellation, his offer of a 5% discount, and the Thumbtack notification showing the company was no longer available on the platform. If reliability, communication, and follow-through are important to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
