Eh. Small business. Seemed honest. I knew it was a gamble…read morewith only 24 reviews on here. 2025: Got a bid for job 1. Price was so good asked for bid for job 2. Agreed to proceed with one bid at a time. Glad I did that. BTW bids came in far lower than other competitors. Now I know why. I'm not going to bash the experience with detail, but here's something to note: Skeleton crew. The regular down to earth blue collar workers they were had me trusting them but I found myself constantly asking questions as after the contract was signed, communication slowed drastically. I thought more detail would be discussed. Think this particular job was out of their lane and, to me, they left it incomplete/did the bare minimum/ couldn't wait to get outta there. They also were random in their work schedule. Sometimes there for half a day then you wouldn't see em for days. It took at least double the time projected. Thought maybe it could be a fluke as there were some noticeable issues with the business which seemed out of their control, so asked for some updates to job 1 bid. I was assured a bid would be revised/sent, but ironically, I cut the final check for the job completed, then I was ghosted. Tried to give this business benefit of the doubt, but they constantly showed red flags. Hey if you like letting a businesses take full control of your project, its basic and you don't really care about detail, this is a business for you. A lot of the photos show very basic 101 jobs completed on here. Hope everyone learns something from my experience.

I had this company come out last summer. He built a couple of retaining walls and performed that…read morework beautifully. However the landscape portion was terrible. First of many problems: the watering controller he installed did not work properly from the get-go. I told Pete about it and requested a receipt for the controller (it was the end of the job so he wasn't planning to return). Instead he came out and fiddled with the controller and said it works fine. He left and it still didn't water according to the settings so he came out again (after the job was completed) and fiddled some more, saying again there was nothing wrong with the controller. He never gave me a receipt, so as the same problem kept occurring, I finally had to replace it. Because Pete never gave me a receipt (I suspect he used a controller he had sitting around, and not a new one for my job, however he told me it was "professional grade" and cost $300), I couldn't return it and had to spend more money on the new controller. Very irritating. Irrigation system and planting: I asked him to add on to the existing drip irrigation system and bring water to several fruit trees and numerous new shrubs I requested that he put in. However he installed 1 gal. drippers to everything, whether it was a large existing fruit tree or a new small shrub. Fruit trees require a lot more water...Pete told me he was an arborist so he should know the right amount of water fruit trees need. Now I'm having to switch out these drippers myself to something that provides adequate water. Again not something I should have to be doing. I requested all cascading rosemary shrubs in numerous locations. He installed half cascading rosemary and half something else (I don't know the name...he didn't provide any tags). My bad for not saying something at the time, as I thought the additional color might be pretty. Well, the other plants he selected COMPLETELY took over the area covering the slower growing cascading rosemary. Now I have to tear some of those plants out and put them elsewhere, so that I can see the plants I requested in the first place. Some of the new plants he put in began to die after a while so I looked a little closer to figure out why. Half the root system was above ground...the hole was not dug nearly deep enough! I tried to correct this but unfortunately the plants were too far gone so my effort was not in time. Finally, I asked Pete to shore up some fence posts that were lagging. It was a picket fence surrounding a small patch of my front yard. I asked him to go around and check each post. I am too trusting...I assumed he had done that. However, he only shored up 4 fence posts and not the posts on either side of the gate, the ones that needed attention the most. Overall, I am pretty unhappy with the job this company did for me. I read other reviews stating how detail oriented Pete was for them...He did not pay attention to the details of my landscaping project, and I'm not sure he dealt honorably with me about the controller problem. I would not recommend him/his company.

Was really hoping to get an estimate for my backyard, to compare with others, but couldn't without…read morebuying the full computer design. Lame. Brought his measuring unicycle and didn't measure a thing. Of the 4-5 landscapers that have come already, I am getting written estimates from all of them. This company either sent someone with no experience, my project is overwhelming, or ?? Very bizarre. To be clear, the other landscapers also offer the design aspect, and they/I plan on doing the design piece. I am just looking for estimates first along with meeting you and feeling your enthusiasm for the project. After meeting and texting with you, and reviewing your photos, my job may have been out of scope for you. I wanted a lot of fun stuff; bocce ball, basketball, inground trampoline, and a lot of ground cover and plants. I will give 4 stars instead of three, as I posted all of my wants in my Yelp request, so my expectation is that you will come ready.

Wow, I can't say enough good about this organization. Owner Junior Santana met with me back in May,…read moreto look at my front yard and have some conversation about where we might want to go with it. This was a yard that had been through the wringer, drought, voles, irrigation breaks. Had pretty much deteriorated to a large weed patch. Large yard, too, probably close to 2500 square feet. I have a nice looking home otherwise, so, it was making me crazy. Junior impressed me right away, very professional and knows his sh*t. I saw no reason to get any other quotes. We talked, he took some pics and measurements, and we shook hands and agreed to work together. I put together some drawings of how I wanted the design, we met again, flushed some things out and agreed on a plan. He provided me a very concise and clear written quote, I signed, and we agreed on a start time a little later in the summer, better for both of us. End of August, they got started, and BAM, they were on it. These guys are awesome, hard working, smart, focused, and absolutely know how to maximize their time. What they accomplished in two weeks is still mindblowing to me. I have mostly worked things by myself, around the house, and this would have taken me a whole summer to get done, maybe longer. Everything came out exactly as planned. It looks soooo great, absolutely exceeded my expectations. I can't stress how much I enjoyed the process of just watching it all come together. Turf, Rock, Stone, Plantings, all of it looks so good. DLH was a pleasure to work with every step. Much thanks to Junior and all of the guys for all of their effort. If there is a next project, there will only be one call I make, to Diamond Landscape Hardscape. Bob Y. Diamond Springs, CA. Sept. 2025

This is my second time using Suncrest Landscape and once again they exceeded expectations…read more Troy (the owner) was great to work with from start to finish. He and his team put down fresh bark in both the front and back yard, trimmed all the plants and trees, removed weeds, and cleaned up several non-conforming shrubs that had gotten out of control. The entire job took about 4-5 hours, and the transformation was noticeable immediately. What I appreciate most is their professionalism and efficiency. They show up on time, work hard, and leave everything looking clean and sharp. No mess left behind -- just a yard that looks dialed in. If you're looking for reliable landscaping work and want it done right the first time, I highly recommend Suncrest Landscape. I'll definitely be using them again.

Troy gave us great suggestions to get the most out of our small square footage. He also prepared all the documentation we needed to get HOA approval for the project. He started and completed the project on time and kept us informed along the way, so we knew exactly what would be happening at our home each day. Troy's team were skilled and meticulous in their work. They also were friendly and considerate of us and our home--a pleasure to have around. They took care in their work and cleaned up at the end of each workday. Troy genuinely cared about making our yard work for our family--he treats each yard as his own. We could not be happier with the end result or with our experience working with Troy. We would hire Suncrest again for any project and recommend them unreservedly.

He's been providing lawn care and landscaping services for us weekly ever since. It's been a great experience. It's been more or less a "set it and forget it" kind of thing. Other reviewers noted that he's dependable and always shows up... that couldn't be truer. He's like the Amazon Prime subscription of lawn care. He always gets in and gets the job done... some days, I don't even realize he was there until I look out the window and see a pristine lawn. His pricing is very reasonable and he is extremely efficient. Plus, he keeps an eye on things generally around the exterior of our house and, if something looks like it might need attention or adjustment (like an irrigation matter or whatever), he gives us a heads-up, which we always appreciate. If you're in the area and need a yard guy, Ken's your man.

First, Taylor is personable, and pleasure to work with, honest, fair and wants what's best for all…read moreparties involved. He does a good job working with you, has referrals where he feels extra support could be needed (landscape designers, finance options, etc.) and suggests great sources for picking materials (stone work, substrates, and plants). He let's you know about alternatives available based on what you want and his experience. He offers good perspectives and provides cost conservative options as well. He does a good job walking you through a balance for your budget, not overselling you for his gain, but also direct if your dreams come with a price that might run you out of your budget. Second, his crew is amazing!! His lead, Martin, is a dream to work with. Whenever we wanted something just so, he always agreed and found a way to make it happen, never once making us feel our request was too much or annoying. If he ran into roadblocks, he brought us out to review them and consider options if the ground/slope or something was impacting our ask. His crew was respectful, used their portable facilities, and did an almost perfect job picking up after themselves each day. Third, the patience of all people involved was commendable. Taylor, his crew, and his subcontractors from concrete to electrical were very respectful, communicated well about their portion of the project and answered questions/addressed concerns as they came up. Our project did run over on time, but it was due to weather constraints and unforseen issues with our terain on a hillside. Surprisingly and as much as safely possible, the crew worked on inclination days to try to meet the quoted deadline as much as possible. When they couldn't come, that was well communicated. Now, everyone can use some constructive feedback and the one thing that stood out to us was that we would've like receiving the couple of supplement bid items we asked about a little sooner. You need to keep in mind that if you ask his crew to deviate from your original scope, they will move forward on it and you will have to pay for the change, as you should. So, if you're uncertain how/if your requests might impact your scope/bid pricing, loop in Taylor before his crew. The only other pickup we experienced was picking out materials and the stone place had put them back before Taylor picked it up. When picking your own materials, we found we had to check-in with Taylor a couple times regarding reminders for that. Despite our constructive feedback, considering the overall project and experience as well as our experience with other contractors, TC Landscaping gets a solid 5 star from us. We will consider using them again for our needs and referred them to family. Our family experienced a similar outcome, consistent with ours when adding a redwood staircase up a very steep slope and some other yard beautification.
