I found this after they left. I called the owner Scott and asked him to help clean it off our brick entry. He said he'd talk to his people, but never called back. I called him again a week later and he now wanted me to send him a photo. This was particularly odd as it doesn't really matter if he looked at a picture. I sent him the photo, and again I got no phone call back. I got no promise that anyone was going to come out to clean it. Nothing! This is sad. His communication skills don't seem to be in evidence. He doesn't take care to make sure his employees do things correctly. Even I know you don't lay a chain saw on concrete or bricks without something to catch the dripping oil.

He isn't your typical "gardener" but he got the job done and helped my vision blossom into a reality; I am now enjoying the fruits of his labors (puns slightly intended). Thanks Gene!

I'm beyond happy with Surf N Turf Landscape. Zach and his crew are great people who do great work…read more I moved to a house with artificial turf, and two golden retrievers, which resulted in me needing to spray an enzyme every week to try to stop the horrible scent that was coming from the artificial turf. Zach came out to do an estimate for me to help me decide if I needed different turf or real sod. He gave me options and I ended up going with St. Augustine turf and I am so happy with the results! (For the dogs and wanting turf, this was the perfect option to fit my needs.). When they were removing the artificial sod, they uncovered that the under layer was compacted to 100%. The crew was basically chiseling into concrete. They worked so hard and got it all cleared out the first day so that the sod could go down the second day after ktlling and re-leveling with fresh dirt. They took out so many barrels of compacted concrete-dirt. Completely unrelated I had some sprinklers break in the front a week after they were done and he came out to check on my grass and set up an appointment to get my sprinklers fixed within a few days. Then I added a wishlist item to have him fix some sprinklers that were in some pots out front. Yet again he and his crew came out on time, did great work and cleaned everything up perfectly. I am so impressed by their quality of work and their work ethic and would definitely recommend them to anyone. If I ever have any additional work, I need done in my yard. They are the and only people I will call.

I had the pleasure of working with Newland Landscape. I will start by saying that it was a…read morefantastic experience. I hired Newland Landscape to do a complete hardscape/softscape "makeover" of the front of my home. First, when I started research on a landscaping company, out of all of them I contacted, Newland Landscape was the most responsive and easy to do business with. This really made the experience so much better, not having to chase contractors with inconsistent responses and questionable bids. Secondly, the bidding process and billing was transparent. This also made me comfortable. When additions to the project were identified, a change order with the associated charges was clearly provided and agreed to before any work was conducted. Finally, for the work done, the outcome was outstanding. Great value for the price! Newland Landscape worked with me adjust designs based on the actual work in progress. It was collaborative. The owner, Roland is extremely experienced and made great recommendations. I cannot recommend this company enough.

I sent him these pictures and asked that he make this right. He refused to come out and suggested I find someone else.

They handled our entire project from start to finish, which included installing new pavers, turf, and an irrigation system. The quality of their work is fantastic, and the finished yard looks absolutely beautiful--exactly like the design photos we had hoped for. As with any large landscaping project, there were a couple of minor issues that popped up along the way, but Jake was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was taken care of very quickly without any hassle. Overall, I am extremely happy with how the yard turned out. If you're looking for a reliable team in the Irvine area that does high-quality work and stands behind it, I highly recommend Jake and Echo Family Landscaping.

Jake and his crew completed a rather large project on our new construction home that took…read moreapproximately 10 months (pool , spa, firepit, outdoor kitchen, custom pergola, front, back and side yards, water features, landscaping, etc...etc.., but it was well worth the time and cost. We purchased a home in a new development, so we vetted many different companies to build all the features we wanted on an empty canvas (ie: dirt lot). Our budget was around $290-$360k. We got around 6 bids, which we narrowed down to 3. Out of the 3, Jake gave us the most confidence in his knowledge and eye for details. We visited some of his previous projects and were thoroughly impressed. A lot of our neighbors used competitors that were cheaper, but when we saw their completed projects, you could see a lot of corners that were cut and the shoddy quality. Some look down right terrible. The majority were unhappy with the work provided by those companies. The crews were constantly changing on the same projects (subbed out to 3rd party) and there was no post-completion support. I know that there have been lawsuits filed on some of the projects. Our home, on the otherhand, has been the highlight of our neighborhood and we have people constantly taking pictures and asking for details on Jake. Not just because of the design itself, but also because of his hardworking crew. We've been beyond happy with Jake and his team and love showing off our new outdoor space. Echo was at the top end of our budget, but the quality is A+++ and 100% worth it. He didn't cut any corners and his crew pulled 10-12 hour days, 6 days a week, for 10 months. Best thing is that Jake personally checked the quality of the work on a regular basis. If anything was off by a tiny bit, Jake redid it to make it perfect. I consider myself to be detail oriented, almost to the point of being unbearable, but I never had to worry about the work being done because of the QC by Jake. This in itself was worth it. The crew was consistently the same people and HIGHLY skilled. Some of the best work I'd seen. Ricardo was our project lead and so talented and friendly. All the team was very respectful and thoughtful. They cleaned up after every day and never blasted music or talked loudly or cursed. (Which was very important to me because my neighbor and I work from home). They were kind to my wife, kids, and neighbors as well. My parents also hired Echo to fix various issues around their yard and pool and had the same experiences we did with very proficient and highly skilled crew members that worked hard. Also, the small issues we had after completion were addressed immediately. Most contractors rarely come back after you've finished paying them, but Jake really values his clients and takes pride in making sure they're taken care of before, during, and most importantly, after the project is done. There are tons of companies out there, but nobody really does it like Echo and I HIGHLY recommend them. It's worth the investment, not just financially, but also the time and memories you will have enjoying the beautiful space and features.
