I hired Skywood Landscaping to complete a major renovation of my house's backyard primarily because…read moreof their stellar reputation and expertise with design and installation of paved patios. Ken Truong (owner of Skywood) and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Ken carefully listened to my objectives during an initial site visit. I didn't have a particular design in mind, but within about 10 days Ken was able to prepare a written proposal that included 2D and 3D photos of what the finished landscape renovation might look like. This was really helpful because only few iterations of discussion and revisions were needed to complete the final proposal. Demolition of the existing backyard included removal of trees, artificial turf, patio blocks, and a considerable amount of soil. This phase was completed relatively quickly and without any problems due to Skywood's obvious experience. The next phases included installation of drainage pipes and conduits for lighting and irrigation and then covering with rock base and pavers. Skywood's efforts during these phases included an uncommonly high level of attention to detail to ensure that rainwater would flow away from the house and into the storm drains. The final phases included installation of a redwood fence, installation of rock veneer and capstone to cover a retaining wall, and installation of lights, plants and irrigation to produce a really beautiful garden. Despite several hot summer days, Ken and his crew always had a friendly, positive attitude and left the worksite clean each day. I give Skywood Landscaping my highest recommendation, and I would surely hire them in the future.

What a wonderful experience replacing my small backyard lawn. For years, this area was difficult to…read moremaintain. It was a curved area and hard to irrigate as well. Ken suggested I look at their newer samples of artificial turf. There has been some progress in materials which are durable and cooler than the older materials from years past. I love my new lawn! I can walk on it in the sun with bare feet, and no more wasted water. His crew were very experienced and able to complete my new landscaping project in just one day. Their crew even straightened out some crooked paving stones I had been meaning to fix. So kind of them. While working around my existing landscaping they protected everything. No damage anywhere. And the cleanup was perfect. Real top notch pros! Even the quote was incredibly affordable. I could not recommend anyone as high as Skywood.

Wow. We are so glad we found these guys on Yelp. We've been wanting to make our yard usable for…read moreyears, and finally decided to get turf installed. From the diligent follow-through by Luis, to Eric (Eric is so pleasant, and knowledgeable!) showing up (twice) to give us assessments on how/what can be done with the yard, most competitive pricing, to the hard working team of workers that worked tirelessly in the heat, showing up early, and cleaning up everyday, to delivering the final result that made our heart so happy. We are so impressed by the work ethics, professionalism, efficiency, attention to details, and great attitude of the whole team. They have wow'ed us! Our family is so happy and thankful for our beautiful yard! It has only been about a week since the work is done, and our family has been out in the yard enjoying watching our kids play ball everyday. I wish we had done this sooner! Thank you Life Turf Landscaping. We highly recommend this business and have already recommended them to our family and friends. We'd love to work with them again on our next project(s). I will try to update the review again in a year or so, to see how the turf holds up. So far, we are very pleased. Stop looking anywhere else. Give these guys a call. They're the real deal.

We sent out a project request for artificial turf installation in backyard and Bay Area Tippe Rock…read morewas the first to the respond and also the first to come quickly survey the project with us a day later. The foreman who came onsite was polite, well-mannered and knowledgable about the work. He came prepared with samples of various artificial turfs and made good recommendations for us (given we wanted something pet friendly). While we were chatting, we landed on a slightly bigger project that also included concrete removal and flattening to make the yard look even better. Luis, the owner, was quick to provide two separate quotes - one with our original ask and another with the new request. Both incredibly reasonable quotes compared to what we've seen and they worked with us on a good budget that gave us the most value for what we were looking for. We signed on Saturday and the team came sharp on Monday morning and completed the job in less than two days (done by Tues at 3pm). They were good about being tidy and cleaned up everything afterwards with no issues. We're so pleased with the result and confident we can finish the rest of the yard ourselves. Thanks a ton for the quick, high-quality work!

Such a disappointment Purchase Green ended up being. I hate writing this because I trusted their…read morewords of reassurance & apparent willingness to make things right. What happened? Well, we built a home in Santa Rosa's Fountain Grove neighborhood & were moving in during the winter months, with dogs. We were in dire need of back & side yard landscaping because we had clay mud everywhere from the rains! We met with 4 landscaping companies to do our synthetic grass & other landscaping. Far & beyond, we liked Purchase Green & in particular, the person they sent, Diego. He was communicative, warm, & discussed a product package in a timely manner that was more appealing to us than the others. During the process, we also met with a regional manager named Kyra, also friendly & communicative. Both Diego & Kyra were strenuously assuring that they would meet our needs & correct anything that went wrong. We felt assured & despite my having to have two surgeries in & around the hiring & overseeing of the project, we hired them largely because we did feel they had our best interest at heart. The installation of the grass was good & the paver work was too & sadly, that's where the good ended. Diego has a habit of bringing on "friends" as subcontractors for aspects of the project & unfortunately, left them unsupervised. The landscapers that did the planting of our numerous fruit trees & other plants were abysmal & left us with poorly planted trees that died or nearly died, inadequate irrigation that killed off plants around our pool & apparently did nothing to the surrounding soil (red clay) which left the roots unable to take hold. Tens of thousands of dollars wasted & a mess left in our back & side yards. I complained to Kyra & Diego, & well, "talk is cheap," comes to mind because they said all the right things but then didn't deliver. In fact, when I texted Kyra on the final day of a return visit by the horrible landscapers, I received zero response from her. Diego made excuses for everything. First, we were told that we didn't need window protection for sun glare on the grass; later we were told we did or they couldn't warrant the work. That ran us more money than was unanticipated. Then the fencing built around our pool equipment did not provide access for service people despite many stating access was essential; Diego argued that he explain it, etc.-- no accountability. Then, one of the doors Diego built stays open on the lower part which he tried to argue is because the wood needs a stain. There is simply no room in this review to include all the aspects of failure & ensuing excuses here. Each time they were here, there was damage to the house from their equipment coupled with subpar fixes-- this has cost us money in repairs. Also, they made a mess with handling the white sides of the house with muddy hands & more than once, we spent hours trying to clean it to no avail. We literally had the sides of the house repainted by the original painters at our cost. Also, I made the mistake of allowing them to use the brand new outdoor bathroom-- never again! They left it absolutely filthy & beyond what can be cleaned; again, we hired people to repaint it, inside & out. On the landscaper's final trip here, which was contentious, they took it upon themselves, without our permission, to use the outdoor bathroom which we had already repaired from their last visit. It is a mess again! They left the property leaving gates open, the bathroom a mess, & an inadequate job with the plants. I trusted them so much that it feels actually painful to know they didn't take the care I entrusted them with. I bought and fed them lunches & provided them with access to constant snacks & drinks. It would have been nice if they took as good a care with us & our property as we did of their needs. Writing this review was a hard decision, but I feel it's important that people know when choosing a company. We have since paid a new landscaper to fix everything they failed to do from the plants, irrigation and lighting. Final note, Kyra, the manager who purports to be there to oversee and ensure satisfaction has completely blown us off. She promised many things including to be back in touch regarding some turf issues and after speaking with "ownership." Absolutely nothing! No call, no text, only broken promises, again. Avoid this company no matter how charming they come across. False promises and a complete failure of any follow through.

He took the time to answer all my questions, made sure I had the right parts, and explained how everything should be installed so I wouldn't run into issues later. The customer service was top tier -- friendly, fast, and zero pressure. Pricing was very fair (honestly better than I expected), and they had everything in stock so I didn't have to run around to multiple stores. It's rare to find a place where the staff really knows their stuff and actually cares about helping you get it done right the first time. I'll definitely be coming back for future projects and recommending them to anyone needing irrigation supplies in the area. Thanks again, Dylan!

I hired Heavenly Greens to install a putting green in my yard, and while the initial installation…read moreappeared satisfactory, I was extremely disappointed with how a critical issue was handled afterward. During excavation, I was assured multiple times that all underground water lines would be properly shut off and removed. However, this spring, after my gardener installed a new sprinkler system, we discovered a significant underground leak. Upon investigation, we found that one of the original water pipes--supposedly decommissioned--had not been properly capped or removed. I immediately contacted the company, expecting a straightforward resolution for what should have been considered a foundational installation issue. Instead, I was told that because my gardener lifted a portion of the turf to identify the leak, the warranty was voided. Despite requesting to speak directly with the owner, Tim, my calls were deflected and I've received no follow-up for over two weeks. This has been an incredibly frustrating experience. A basic expectation in turf installation is ensuring no active plumbing is left beneath the surface. This was not a complex repair--it was an avoidable oversight that the company refused to take responsibility for. To the owner: I recommended your business to friends in good faith. Had I known customer concerns would be dismissed so easily, I would have never done so. Ignoring valid issues and refusing direct communication with clients is not how reputable companies should operate. For anyone considering working with Heavenly Greens, I strongly recommend proceeding with caution.

Green magic came highly recommended and while quite expensive I felt that it will be worth it in the long run. Everything seemed fine at first, but I did not go through everything as I do have quite a large number of plants. I had made a request that I did not feel comfortable with a single emitters at the center of a plant as my experience has been that the water just goes straight down and out. Apparently that went unheard and has been the case with most every plant except where I had already used an alternate option. I was on vacation during the heat wave and when I came back, I found most of my plants either dead or dying. As I started to examine, the emitter applications I found them inadequate or not even in some cases near the plant itself. I am very disappointed and once again I will have to go through everything myself.

After talking to a few other local vendors, we decided to go with FENIX and we are really pleased we did. Adam, Kimberley and Erica communicated really well and answered any question we had about the entire process. They provided us with a few turf samples as well as an extensive list of referral addresses we could use to inspect their craftsmanship and the quality of the installed turf product. When the day to start the project arrived, Dylan and the large crew arrived right on time as arranged and immediately got to work. They were very professional and skilled. They were able to complete the entire project in one day and cleaned up the "worksite" nicely. We are extremely happy with the entire process from start to finish and would use them again if needed and would highly recommend them if you were considering installing artificial turf for your landscaping project. Not only was the craftsmanship top notch, the value was exceptional as FENIX provided us with the lowest price of all the quotes we received.

We had a very good experience working with Northview Landscaping. Our project was large, involving…read morea new paver driveway, new public sidewalk, new turf install, new concrete and paver pathways, new wooden gates and a re-install of a paver patio. The project took a long time with several interruptions due to weather and permitting with the city. For a while it seemed like the sidewalk repair might not happen, but Juan and Freddie were able to work it out with the city and the new sidewalk looks great. Our new paver driveway looks amazing and has given us way more space. The new retaining wall curves around the corner to the street, which was a detail in the design that I really wanted, and they were able to deliver. So far after a few heavy rainstorms everything seems to be draining properly. The plants and landscaping are starting to fill in and I'm hoping that the plants thrive over the summer after some pretty nasty weather the last couple months. Perhaps the best part of the project has turned out to be the backyard where we replaced the grass lawn with turf and had the paver patio re-installed. It looks really nice and the dogs love it. I love that I don't have to spend hours weeding it and worrying about foxtails in dog feet or noses. There is still one step left before completion, since we ended up having to replace our sewer pipe to the street which left a small section of the paver driveway. Overall Northview did great work on a big job with some complicated permitting requirements. They were always respectful, polite and communicative. I'll definitely contact them again for future work and would recommend Northview Landscaping to friends and neighbors.
