We had a fairly significant job for Owen. Starting from ground up dirt lot and wanted to create…read moresomething special. We had a large budget. Owen and his designer came over and looked at the property then gave us a quote about a week later. The quote was very hard to read as it had quite a bit of legal jargon. I emailed the designer and I said I am having trouble reading this it looks like it was written by your lawyers. Oh my how these two flipped out. They were on a group email and did not know it. The designer told Owen what we said and Owen responded to him by saying "lawyers, WTF this guy is a dumb ass, I knew they couldn't afford me to begin with." Who's the dumb ass now. Any way we fired them and got a terrific landscaper who we are absolutely happy with.

We rebuilt our Fountaingrove home after losing it in the 2017 Tubbs fire and needed to fully…read morelandscape our front and back yard. Owen and his company, Mitchell Landscapes, were highly recommended by the landscape design company we worked with. We obtained other bids, but ultimately selected Owen because of how personable, professional, and knowledgeable he was. We couldn't have been happier with the end result. The ten-week project included a concrete patio, retaining walls and steps, irrigation, drainage, lighting, fencing, pergola assembly, gas and electrical lines, plants, ground cover (gravel and mulch), and fire table and hot tub installation. Owen's crew was skilled, friendly and hard-working. His foremen Al and Nestor were amazing to work with and did an outstanding job leading the project. Owen was closely involved every step of the way. He provided numerous suggestions that either weren't in the original plan from the landscape design company or were an improvement to the original plan. This was one of the biggest reasons we're glad we worked with Mitchell Landscapes - Owen's combination of strong design and practical sense resulted in a landscape that far surpassed the original plan. Owen was also honest, transparent, and fully committed throughout the project. Even after our project was completed, Owen and his crew came back several times to check plants and irrigation, as well as to unload and carry a 600 lb fire table into our backyard. After the outstanding experience we had working with Mitchell Landscapes, we will definitely use them for all of our future landscaping projects.

I contracted Roy's landscaping to renovate my garden. This was a significant tear out and…read morerebuilding job, which took them several weeks to complete using a crew of 3 to 4 people. Roy had a tear out team and another team of masons for the stone work. Everyone was very considerate and hard working. To begin, I met with Roy a couple of times and we walked the garden and discussed what was to be done. I had an old waterfall and pond (both concrete) that leaked and over time this had caused my redwood trees to break the drains under my old patio. Damage was done to the patio as well. I needed all new drains, a new flagstone patio and wanted dry stack looking stone walls and new steps going up to the rear garden area. Roy listened to my requests , added some ideas (lights in the walls, designing the slope and curve to the walls, adding pony walls by the new steps, etc). He then provided me with a detailed project proposal and cost estimate for each part of the job. Roy's proposal was not the cheapest, but as he promised (and did) it was the best. Roy and his team did an outstanding job in completing the work. They started and completed the job within the estimated timeframe. Every day the crew was here early, with a supervisor on site. Roy also came by about every other day to meet with me and his team. Where they found issues outside of the scope of the original statement of work (i.e.: tree roots had destroyed drains all the way to the street) we discussed what needed to be done and agreed up front on how to proceed and the additional cost. No surprises at the end. Each day the crew cleaned up after themselves and care was taken not to damage other parts of the garden (plants, etc). They also were considerate about my need to get my car in and out of the driveway through out all the construction. One thing I was really concerned with was drainage for the patio as my back yard slopes toward the house. Roy made sure this was addressed and the patio drains beautifully. The stone work that his team did here was nothing short of superb. My back yard is beautiful and easy to care for now. Bottom line, I found this company to be very professional and highly skilled. I would definitely recommend them!

Every facet of the work was done the right way, to code, on-time, and turned out beautifully. We ended up spending a bit more than planned but we are truly delighted with the results!

Our first week here, they asked if we wanted service and we said ok. They came into the back yard, blew some leaves around (did NOT pick them up) and left. They were here two minutes.

Seems to me they are taking advantage of consumers and a supposed arrangement with the developer who clearly doesn't know what is (NOT) being done.

But in my experience, that is not always reliable, and it pushes extra work on a potential customer.

I mentioned what I needed, and an estimated budget, and was told to wait for a followup. It took a while to get in touch, probably because of my network provider or that he had plenty other projects to attend to, but I was able to call him and luckily his crew in Novato, Rob, was already there and I was able to get the task done the same day. I emailed other services with no replies, left voicemails with no callbacks, and was even promised someone to come by and look, but didn't show up. I did leave a voicemail for Aaron to get back to me and when he did, the network decided to drop the call. It wasn't his fault, so I knew to call him when I had a more stable connection. Since he was the only one that responded, showed up, and gave a synopsis of the project, taking into mind my budget, I couldn't let it go. The day Rob and his crew came, it took under an hour to get the task done. He went over what Aaron recapped for him, and went it over again with me so we were on the same page. He asked more questions that were missed the first, like keeping some of fences or remove them. They cleaned up after themselves and put all the foilage in the bin for disposal. Friendly, efficient, and fast. I could see what they were doing and it was impressive to see the backyard mess go away. It was pretty difficult to contact garderners around here during this time, but with patience, and good reception, I'd recommend Sampson's Landscaping. I know I will when the place becomes a mess again.
