He quickly returned my call and we had a great conversation about his process, our possible options, and expectations. He scheduled a prompt visit, called, and provided his assessment, timeline, and estimate to complete the job. He returned the following week and fixed the entire system in less than half a day. He installed a HydroWise system so we can control the irrigation program remotely. He patiently walked me through the app and how to program the system easily from my phone. What impressed us about Lon was his knowledge, intelligence, enthusiasm, patience, customer service, prompt attention, and authentic respect. His articulate communication, kindness, and high level of integrity demonstrated the type of intelligence and personality it takes to run a successful company, and being entrepreneurs ourselves, we deeply respect that! We've called upon Lon for other questions and he is a wealth of information, knowledge, and humor. We couldn't recommend him more and think he's the best of the best in Nevada County and beyond!

I cannot sing the praises of Pete's Fence and Gate Company loudly enough! Pete and his team built a…read more(very) custom redwood sliding gate and fence for our home in Nevada City, which was operated by a Liftmaster solar operated motor. From start to finish, Pete and his phenomenal team delivered an experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. Their prompt, thorough, and incredibly helpful communication set the tone for a project that exceeded every expectation we had. Every question was answered with patience and expertise, making us feel valued and informed at every step. The work ethic of Pete's team is unparalleled. They showed up right on time, every time, and tackled the project with relentless dedication. Even when the weather turned foul, they powered through with unwavering commitment, often staying late to ensure every detail was perfect. Their grit and determination were truly inspiring, transforming our vision into reality with sheer hard work. What sets Pete's team apart is their meticulous attention to detail. They went above and beyond, custom-designing several elements to accommodate unforeseen challenges, including navigating quirky electronic components with finesse. The result? A gate that blends so seamlessly with our existing fences, it's as if it was always meant to be there. The craftsmanship is nothing short of breathtaking--Pete personally milled the wood in his shop, ensuring every piece was flawless, and collaborated with a local ironworker to create a custom frame that's both sturdy and stunning. The gate operates with flawless precision, a testament to their skill and care. Beyond their technical brilliance, Pete and his team are genuinely wonderful people. As a local business, they bring a warmth and authenticity that shines through in everything they do. Their passion for their craft and their customers is evident in every conversation, every custom touch, and every perfectly placed detail. They're not just building fences--they're building trust, community, and lasting beauty. Pete's cost was in line with what I expect of a team that does high quality, local work. Most importantly, when it came time to settle up, even though he ran into several challenges that forced his team to work extra hours, he didn't hit me with change orders. Honesty and integrity through and through. If you're looking for a team that combines masterful craftsmanship, tireless dedication, and heartfelt care, look no further than Pete's Fence and Gate Company. They've earned our highest recommendation and our deepest gratitude for a job spectacularly done!

After years of…read morewater pooling around the foundation of my home, I knew I needed to get proper drainage installed to divert water away from the house. I had already spoken with several landscaping companies, and I was honestly struggling to find someone I felt confident would come up with the right solution. I received some surprisingly high quotes, including from companies that were willing to recommend drainage solutions without even coming out to personally assess the property. That made me very hesitant about moving forward. Then Eddie reached out through Yelp, and even from our initial phone conversation, I had a completely different feeling. He took the time to listen, explain what issues I might be dealing with, and walk me through the different drainage options. At first, I was hesitant about the $300 survey fee for the laser measurement of the property's slope. Looking back, I realize this was one of the best parts of the process. Rather than guessing where the water was going or what needed to be done, Eddie was able to properly assess the slope and use that information to determine the best drainage solution for my property. The $300 survey fee is subtracted from the final cost if you use them, which is nice.  Eddie provided me with a very detailed quote and even sent me a video showing the problem areas in my yard since I wasn't able to meet him in person. I'm someone who likes to understand exactly what I'm paying for, so I had A LOT of questions. Eddie spent a good amount of time on the phone with me explaining everything, and I never once felt rushed or like I was being a nuisance. He made sure I understood what we were doing and why. Once we scheduled the work, Eddie also handled having the property properly marked by PG&E before they began digging. Throughout the project, I received updates and videos showing the progress and any issues they came across. There were a couple of additional problems they discovered along the way, and Eddie was upfront about them and provided quotes before doing any additional work. The drainage project was a big job, but his crew completed it within the original estimated timeframe, which I was very impressed with given the size of the project and the Sacramento heat! They also did a great job cleaning everything up afterward. The grass definitely took a hit from the work and the intense Sacramento summer heat, but Eagleview even replaced the areas of grass that had been dug up with new sod. Most importantly, I now feel confident that I have a proper drainage system in place to divert water away from my home instead of allowing it to pool around the foundation like it had been doing for years. And knowing that the work comes with a warranty gives me even more peace of mind. A huge THANK YOU to Eddie and his entire crew for the hard work, professionalism, communication, and care they put into this project. Finding the right contractor for something this important was stressful, and I'm very grateful that Eddie reached out when he did. If you have drainage or water runoff issues and are trying to figure out what the right solution is, I would absolutely recommend giving Eddie at Eagleview Landscaping a call. I'm very glad I did!

I liked the fact Tom performed an initial walkthrough with me, listened to the requirements I had, and made a suggestions that I incorporated.

Tom's crew was efficient and friendly, cleaning up the walkways and street of all remaining debris. When the work was completed, the crew asked me to perform another walkthrough to confirm everything was completed. I have future work planned and have already asked Tom to review and submit a bid. The company certainly made an awesome first impression!

After remodeling our mountain cabin about two years ago, we hired Weiss Landscaping to landscape…read morethe immediate surroundings. We had a few requirements: 1. We wanted a plan drawn up to represent our vision 2. Fire safety was an important factor 3. We preferred native plants 4. We wanted gravel walkways, a gravel buffer surrounding the house, and our circular driveway redone with crushed and compacted stone 5. Did we mention the water feature we also desired? It was a tall order. Although we did have a budget, we also had no illusions about what such a landscaping job would cost us. We might have solicited a more competitive bid, but I doubt the work would have met our high standards. We stand by the old adage: you get what you pay for. A few months after we walked the property with the in-house landscape designer and approved the layout and the plant selection, Chris and Dan led a crew of hardworking men to implement the ambitious plan. The team soon had trees and stumps and boulders removed, the driveway graded, the drainage system engineered, the new sprinkler system installed, the native plants carefully planted and protected, and, finally, with artistic flair, the water feature positioned next to a gently meandering gravel pathway. The landscape is slowly maturing and the few photos I have posted hopefully give you some idea of the excellent work done. The water feature looks so natural that you might imagine that a spring was its source and not an artificial pump. Adam, one of the owners of the company, even came out to personally explain to me how to nurture the plants. It was the only mistake they made as it is my wife who has the green thumb. Unfortunately, she was out of town at the time. However, by agreement both Adam and Chris returned in a year for a final recap with my wife present. The company had guaranteed the new plants and they cheerfully replaced the few that did not take root. I will also add that whenever we had questions about the landscaping, we received a knowledgeable reply in a timely manner. If you want your landscaping job done right, I highly recommend that you contact Weiss Landscaping first.
