I can't say enough great things about Pearman Landscape! I've used them for landscape design and maintenance and their design process was seamless - they listened and made expert suggestions and created a plan that perfectly fit my space and budget. Their attention to detail is incredible, from plant selections to stone work. Beyond the design, their maintenance service is top=notch. Agustin and his team truly take care, have expert knowledge of the plants that work in our area and the best care plan for them. They were even knowledgeable on my irrigation system that I've had such a hard time with prior landscape companies! After my investment in a relandscape, it's such a relief knowing my yard is in good hands. 10+ stars! read more

* = Wonderful hands-on owner (Robert) * = Fantastic designer (Kristen) * = Competitively priced * = Prompt, detail-oriented service * = Provides insight and suggestions without any attached expectations Our experience with Pearman Landscape has been nothing but positive from day-1. Here's our story: My wife and I bought a house in Q4 2019. The house itself seemed turnkey ready, but both the front and back yards needed major work. The previous owners put a pretty good mask on them during the selling process... I'd guess that they hired someone for yard clean-up, then simply poured tanbark on top of weeds (without properly removing them). During the purchasing process, we learned that the irrigation system was original 1955 galvanized steel and needed to be replaced. The end result was: our new house looked great from the inside... but the yards turned into neighborhood blights after about 3-4 months. We needed help. After blowing our nest egg on a down payment, we saved for another year to be able to afford actual landscape/hardscape. We weren't sure where to begin and engaged multiple vendors. Pearman Landscape was among them. From our first meeting, Robert Pearman behaved more like a trusted confidant than a vendor. We had never purchased hardscape services before... and it definitely showed. Rather than lead us around by our nose, like the greenhorns we obviously were, he described the entire process like an impartial 3rd party. Multiple times, he gave us information while acknowledging "whether you go with me or somebody else." Robert immediately sent over his designer, Kristin Bailey. I had read the Yelp reviews from Jody and Bob and immediately got worried, as they both claimed she was unresponsive. Luckily, I had a totally different experience. Kristin was prompt, she was polite, she was helpful, and I ended up chatting with her for about 45-minutes after we walked through my yard. I found her to be an absolute treat and I can't imagine anyone having a bad experience with her. She was wonderful every step of the way. Listened to what we needed, asked us great follow-up questions, made sure she was including plants and trees that we wanted in our design... and finished our plan in less than 2-weeks. It was very reasonably priced and we fell in love with the plan immediately after viewing it. I can't speak highly enough about Kristin. Based on our positive experience, we decided to move forward with Pearman Landscape. Not only will they redo our hardscape/landscape/irrigation, but I intend to retain them for garden maintenance after the project is completed. I'll provide updates and pictures as the process unfolds, but suffice to say: we're having a totally positive experience so far and I wanted to leave a 5-star review for any potential clients who might be considering Pearman. My family reached out to 15 different landscape companies around the SJ/South Bay area and Pearman stands head-and-shoulders above the other 14 suitors, both in terms of promptness, responsiveness, helpfulness, and pricing. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

Love, Love, Love this company and every single employee who is part of it! I hit the jack pot when I found Pearman 6 1/2 years ago. Robert (owner) is a man of his word and has done a superb job hiring an exceptional team of people. Everyone (Augustin supervisor, Ramone hardscape guru, Kristen designer plus entire team) is professional, friendly, responsible/dependable and a master of their specific craft. The team cares about customer satisfaction, delivering a quality product at a very fair price. Special kudos to Augustin & Ramon. Someone else on Yelp pointed out how Augustin installs demo lights and lets you evaluate placement for a period before committing to final install. This is a great service. In addition, Augustin has a real knack for locating lighting perfectly. The atmosphere he is able to create with lights really is amazing. He is thorough walking through installed technology and is a VERY nice/good person on top of it all. Ramone has a great eye for design and really understands how to install hardscape taking into consideration topography, soil etc. He is a guru...really. My husband and I get compliments ALL the time on our yard (both our current and the last home Robert and team landscaped for us). We could not be happier with the design, install and ongoing maintenance delivered by this fine company. read more

See all

We have been using them for 2 months, the team is just amazing, they are professional, knowledgeable and care about their craft!

In all of our years of having our landscape done, we've never found a better and more professional company to deal with than Pearman Landscape. In addition, our team of Juan and his helpers take tremendous pride in everything they do; always on time every week without exception. We get compliments about our yard all the time. Love Pearman Lanscaping and highly recommend them! Ron and Kari read more

Called repeatedly for Kristin for response over a week time frame! Still no response :(. I will wait one more week! They must be busy, but still no appointments! read more

Just wanted to Follow up on what a great job Robert Pearman and Pearman Landscape has been doing for me over the last 2 year. The front and back yards look great!!! If some thing dies or does not look good it is taken care of. They go above and beyond I had most of fence boards on my blow down in one of the many storms they were all over my front yard in the morning by the time I got home the gate was put back together. JUST GREAT SERVICE Thanks Roger E read more

Robert and his team are extremely reliable and professional. On multiple occasions we had some aging pipes that that lead to unexpected leaks. I reached out to Robert for help and he responded with minutes. He assessed the situation remotely and then came out to inspect and provide us with options and repair. I operate a large facility with need for landscape maintenance multiple times a month. His service and timing are impeccable. They are also community partners and have large annual contributions to support youth and families in our community. read more

We purchased a new home and hired Pearman Landscape to design our backyard from start to finish. Pool, spa, waterfalls, landscape, outdoor kitchen, arbors, pavers, fire pit, seat wall, patio, fence and garden. Pearman has specialized teams of employees for each project and all were excellent professionals. Our backyard is a peaceful retreat that we will enjoy for many years. Everyone that sees our backyard agrees that Pearman turned it into a magical yard :) read more

We received 4 quotes to redo our yard front to back. Pearman was not the most expensive but was not the least expensive either. The project is now complete and we are so happy we went with Pearman. Every employee from Robert (owner) to Augustin and Ramon and every other member of their team was responsive, polite, friendly and extremely proficient in their work. We've called a few times since for some help on understanding how to best care for our new yard and Robert has had no problem answering questions or getting back to us. Clearly a well run company with great values where employees are treated with respect. Would absolutely recommend! read more

I just finished up with a whole house remodel and completely new landscaping in Mountain View so I have worked with a dozen or so contractors and subs in the last 12 months. With that experience, I can say that my experience with Pearman Landscape has been absolutely top notch, they have surpassed my expectations at every turn. Robert, the owner, has been incredibly responsive from day one, returning my calls and emails in a very timely manner. He was quick in providing an estimate, starting the work, and ensuring that it was completed in a very timely manner. In addition he helped to connect me with a landscape designer that was incredibly helpful and reasonable in helping my wife and I finalize our thoughts, plants, and layout. Agustin, the lead on our project was also exceptional. He was courteous, very detail oriented, and was great at communicating with me throughout the project. Even small requests were handled in a quick and responsive way. His crew was also friendly and top notch! A real pleasure working with everyone at Pearman Landscape. Based on my experience I am planning to use them for ongoing maintenance as well. Highly recommended! And this is from a very discerning customer! read more

We have been using Pearman for over a year now. The crew is great. My yard looks great. I feel lucky to have found them!!

I have had the same gardener for the past 5 years until recently they got lazy. I have gone thru three companies before recently signing up with this company. They care about your feelings and aim to please your personal touches. They have been here for a month now and we are looking forward to a long term relationship. The owner rob is very personable with reasonable pricing and excellent work. We recommend them highly.. read more

We were very satisfied with our experience with Pearman Landscape over the past 15 years that they have done maintenance for our (admittedly otherwise neglected) yard. It was a luxury to not have to worry about the small stuff, knowing that they would take care of it for us. Week in and week out, things got done with no input required from us. We never used their landscaping design services, but all our interactions with the crew were pleasant and polite and we never felt judged for the lack of attention we otherwise paid our yard. :) read more

I have an acre lot and was looking for some beautiful landscape lighting of our backyard. We have large parties and events outside and we wanted lighting that was more dramatic and sophisticated. I looked over the portfolio that Pearman had and was so impressed. I love that Pearman constructs a temporary demo of the lights and they leave it with you for a week. During the night you can go out and see what the lights will look like. I am a tough client and really pushed Pearman to rework the lights a couple times. But they never complained. Augustine is a great manager and works hard to win your confidence. I love his "Can Do" attitude. We re worked several areas and the yard is spectacular!! We ended up having them do both the front and back yards. We have huge trees and there is so much drama the way they are lit. They are definitely not the cheapest, but their lights are all heavy duty, high quality and they come back anytime there is a problem. Definitely responsive!! If you want to get the most of your yard at night, Pearman can give it to you. We have recommended them to our friends. read more

I recently wrote a 1 star review of Pearman Landscape. Although the work was done well, after the project was finished we received an additional bill with no explanation. I called to inquire why and was told it was for the labor. Our contract did not specify that the charge for labor was separate. We nevertheless paid the second bill but I posted the unsatisfactory review. Mr. Pearman requested on Yelp that I contact him to resolved the issue, which I did. He did acknowledge that he had made a mistake in the original contract and offered to refund the disputed amount. He did so and I feel he handled the dispute professionally and courteously. I think this was a good illustration of the need to fully understand the terms of any contract and ask questions about anything that is not clear. read more

I've used their services before and I needed to install a drip system for the side of house. I can't believe how fast they completed the system. 2 hours and they were done. They really are the best out there. read more

We have used Pearman since we moved into our house in 2009. they are fantastic. very professional and proactive. I was surprised one day last winter season when we found all our roses and several expensive plants covered by white plastic sheets. When we checked, they told us that next week was going to be super cold and so they are protecting the plants from frost bite. That's the thoughtfulness and proactivity we have not seen from many other landscape vendors we used before. our yard looks fantastic. I would recommend them to anyone. In fact we have referred them to several of our friends. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Pearman. Very friendly, service oriented staff. His designer drew us a plan taking our needs into consideration and it was executed beautifully with attention to detail and on budget for what was quoted. Work with them - I doubt you'll be disappointed! read more

It's been couple years since we had the front & back yard redesign by Pearman Landscape, we're enjoying every day taking care of beautiful landscaping they left us with. Robert, thanks. read more

Pearman landscape just finished a garden "refresh" for my yard. Most of my foundation plantings were put in over 10 years ago. Some are thriving and some had not. Former areas of full sun are now part shade. Augustin and his crew spent 7 days removing dying trees, shrubs, etc. and replacing them with new plants that are more suited to the current conditions in my yard. Some sprinklers/irrigation were modified and then annuals and mulch were added. My yard looks great! All of the Pearman workers were respectful and professional. I particularly enjoyed speaking with Cindy about the project. She was amazingly helpful and kind. I will continue to use Pearman landscape for all my landscaping and garden maintenance. I have recommended Pearman to my son and his wife, and they are equally pleased with their work. read more

My wife and I wanted to do a major backyard remodel: outdoor patio, BBQ, gazebo--the works. Robert and his entire crew were incredible. He provided a detailed quote and was intuitive enough to add a few design elements we had overlooked. Work on the project began quickly. Robert was impeccable about communicating his progress throughout the process. What's even better, he completed the work on schedule and below cost. My wife and I couldn't be more excited about our new backyard and would absolutely recommend Pearman Landscape to our family and friends. read more

We recently moved to Morgan Hill, new house and dirt for a backyard. Robert and his team gave us a wonderful backyard with a patio, plants, sprinklers and drainage. I *highly* recommend Robert....he's honest, accountable and extremely easy to work with. read more

Pearman Landscape has been my landscape maintenance company for over 15 years, coming every week without fail. They are friendly, responsive, reliable and they never hesitate to bring issues that need to be addressed to my attention. They recently helped with re-landscaping my backyard and I am very pleased with the result - it's beautiful! They were one-stop shopping for me (which was a big help) and provided professionals to prepare plans, remove old concrete, install a deck, a trellis, new concrete and stone work, new plants, new lighting and irrigation. What hard workers they all were! A special thank you to Augustine for keeping me informed along the way and making great suggestions. I feel confident in recommending Pearman Landscape to anyone who needs help in maintaining and/or upgrading their landscape. K. Dalziel read more

We have finally found a reliable, hardworking company that takes excellent care of our yard. We have been with them for about 6 months now and are very happy with their work. read more

Pearman Landscape just finished our complete front yard makeover two days ago and we couldn't be more pleased. From beginning to end, all the employees were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Augustin (the job manager) and his guys (Bryan, Oscar, Ray, Antonio, etc.) built an incredible drainage system, installed design features as drawn on my plan, planted the specified plants and designed and installed an appropriate irrigation system for the yard. Augustin spent time educating me about the workings of the irrigation system and what to expect from the plants. He also created a beautiful plant collection in a large landscape planter pot at my front porch. Ramon and his hardscape crew built a brick bordered concrete walkway that is exactly as I imagined it would be. Both Augustin and Ramon were easy to contact and work with during the job and when changes to the plan were needed or recommended they were both extremely helpful and responsive, as was Robert when a few of the plants on my plan were not available. It's worth mentioning, too, that I found a small problem yesterday and Augustin was here TODAY to fix it. Great service! And I LOVE the final product! I don't need weekly service because I have no grass, but I will definitely be using Pearman for seasonal maintenance to keep my wonderful yard looking as good as it does today. read more

We needed landscaping done on the hill in our backyard. Contacted several sources for bids and either got bids that were very costly and/or landscapers who wouldn't be available for quite some time. Robert (the owner) came out and provided us with both a very reasonable bid and timeline. He listened to our wants and gave us great advice and suggestions. His crew was terrific and accomplished the job in record time. And well after the job was completed Robert and his foreman returned to make sure that several days of intense heat hadn't harmed the landscaping. We couldn't have had a better experience. read more

We recently renovated our backyard landscaping. Pearman Landscape had many good ideas to minimize problem areas and worked with existing hardscape so we did not have to re-do these expensive areas. In addition to new plantings, they designed new irrigation and replaced old lighting. They had specific teams that were expert in each phase of the work. The "go-to" guy for all this was Augustine and he made sure that each team was responsive to our questions and concerns. We look forward to working with Pearman when we re-do our front landscaping. In addition to the new installation, we have hired Pearman for maintenance and are quite happy with the way they are taking care of our landscape--both the new and the old!! We highly recommend Pearman for all landscape needs. read more

On recommendation from a friend we contracted with Pearman Landscape to perform some hardscape construction in our backyard. The work was done well and the crew was very professional. We OK'd a contract for the work before it commenced. After it was done, Mr. Pearman came by to inspect and make sure we were OK with the work. We talked about additional projects we might do with him. A few days later we received an unitemized bill for several hundred dollars. When I called to ask what it was for I was told it was for the labor involved in the construction. At no time during our discussion of the projects, and nowhere on the contract was in mentioned that there would be a separate charge for "labor." We have worked with several contractors on the construction of our home and none of them did business in this way. We paid the additional charges but will not use him again. read more

I had my backyard done earlier this year, March 2014. My backyard was in bad shape and Pearman Landscape did help a little to change that. When Ron came by for the quote, he was very informative, told me my options and what he could do to meet a design I had. He was very competitive with his pricing. They changed a wooden planter box/retaining wall into a very nice rock retaining wall. I had grass sod and sprinklers put in. I have extremely hard hard dirt and sand in my backyard on which the grass sod was laid on. They didn't rototill this dirt, try to work in fertilizer, prep the dirt, bring in some better dirt/top soil, check PH, nothing. What happens when you lay the sod on dirt that isn't set up properly... all of your grass starts to die! (and its made out to be your fault) This happened about 1-2 weeks after instal. I called Ron about this, he came by and said "its cuz i havent mowed the lawn yet" " not watering enought" etc... They set up the sprinkler timer to water at the correct intervals and told me to change it after a month. He had one of his guys come the next day and lay some seed to fill in all the patches. Again the grass started to die a couple weeks after that. I was mowing like I should and watering like i should but also watering smartly since we are in a drought. We are now tearing up his work and replacing it. After 6 months, the sod should have rooted into my existing dirt by now, none of it has. The sod is so very easy to pull on and all of the "grass"/dead grass along with the underside dirt of the sod is coming up in a snap. My 9 year old can literally tug at the "grass" and it comes up. Grass sod shouldn't do this. I had also asked for a rock walk-way on the side of my house. This was apparently "forgotten" about as it wasn't on the quote. I was given another quote for way more than it should have cost. I regret contacting this company to fix my yard and spending as much as I did. read more

Pearman Landscape came up to Los Altos and took out our old over grown backyard. They installed new fencing, sprinklers, plants/trees, & lighting. The crew was extremely efficient and we are enjoying our new "paradise." Thanks so much for your professionalism. read more

We started using Pearman Landscape last July. They came in to update our backyard for a shower I was giving for my step-son's fiancee, and really transformed it quickly and beautifully. They also began weekly maintenance on our entire property. We are extremely pleased with their work. They provide seasonal color, gutter cleaning, lawn aerating, fertilizing, weeding and are extremely responsive to any special requests. They go well beyond your typical "mow and blow' landscape service - no comparison. Augustin and Juan are a pleasure to work with!! read more

The owner came out the day after we called. His excellent crew had our old lawn out and the new one installed in a day and a half. They swept up and hosed off walks and drive. Owner always available to answer questions, Very friendly. He does what he says he'll do. This can be rare with some contractors. Good price, excellent staff and super looking lawn. Couldn't be more pleased. read more

They have always been responsive and did a great job relandscaping last spring before a big party with lots of wonderful color.

I have a large, fully landscaped property and am a perfectionist about its maintenance. Pearman has been doing an outstanding job for me for several years now. They are 100% reliable, thorough, responsive and take initiative. I could not recommend them more highly. read more

I have had Robert and his crew do my yard for maybe more than 20 years. They always took care of my yard beautifully. It was a big yard with an ancient irrigation system that they maintained and repaired and repaired. They see something that needs to be done, and they do it after explaining to me what is wrong. I moved a year ago away from Saratoga to a smaller home in San Jose, that is beautifully landscaped, ut has artificial grass. So I didn't think 8 would need much maintenancw. I was wrong. Before I k ew it a jungle had sprouted and I had no clue which plants to prune, cut, fertilize, and even some that were probably dead, but I didn't know it. Pearman came back to me, and it looks more beautiful than ever. They replanted better suited plants, checked my irrigation and lights, fertilized, etc. don't need the lawn mown, but they did so much more than that. I've been very happy with them and look forward to working with them again. Crew members are delightful, knowledgeable and communicative. You can't go wrong with these guys. read more

Pearman Landscape recently completed a full backyard redesign at my home. From start to finish, Robert Pearman's guidance was spot on to what I was trying to achieve. But more importantly, his team who performed all of the work is superior. They provided the design, demolition, irrigation, drainage, hardscape, landscape and gas line for a fire pit. Kristin, their designer, drew up a fantastic plan for a reasonable price and came onsite to assist in the final placement of plants. Juan, the senior landscape guy, took great care in the installation of the sprinklers and plants and met with me daily to ensure everything was to my expectation. From start to finish, the team was onsite every day. Their bid was lower than competitive bids and they came in on budget. I will definitely use them again with my front yard and can't recommend them more highly. read more

These guys installed a stone patio, large driveway, paver and paving stone walkways, and all lighting, landscaping, and drainage for front, back, and side yards. Robert's team communicated clearly, checked with me frequently, and modified the work to accommodate changes. They were flexible, receptive, and cleaned up well at the end of every day. Their work product is top notch. read more

We live in San Jose. Pearman was recommended to us by a local designer. We did a back yard remodel complete with fire pit, built in bbq, lawn, sprinklers, pergola,cement, irrigation and lighting. The result was simply amazing. Robert (owner) and his crew were professional, and easy to work with. His pricing was competitive, and the after-sales support has been excellent. I have since had his company do some work at my rental property as well. I highly recommend Pearman Landscape. read more

I felt it was important to share my experience w/ Pearman Landscaping. I have had limited experience with landscaping and installation services, but I had needed to find someone that I could trust to complete an overhaul of my front yard (lawn, irrigation, pavers, wall, porch, plantings). I have been both surprised and delighted with the quality of work from Robert and his team. From the initial consultation and bidding process , through project completion, the level of service, commitment and response has been incredible. I live in the Willow Glen area where yards and presentation are an important part of the neighborhood. Pearman delivers on real craftsmanship and project follow through. They are responsive, resourceful and surprisingly prompt! I was pleased with how they kept the site clean and were very friendly with friends and neighbors. If you want an honest bid, reliable and skilled work, no surprises and full service, give them a call. read more
