You can see how far away the hose is from the root ball, and the poor roots are dried up.  That plant cost a lot , too. It's dead.

Update: After 4 months, several plants died due to the drip lines not being close enough to the root balls. I reached out to the owner to see if we could get it fixed, and he told us that it's because our sprinkler timer battery died and it was going without water. The problem with that theory is that none of the other plants died, just the ones that didn't have the drip lines close enough to the roots. There were also areas where the rock was not the 2 inch depth. When we did the walk-through, I did not get down on my knees and dig through the rock to make sure it was 2 inches thick everywhere and the drip lines were buried under rock. I'm 60 years old, and I don't get down on the ground. Lol. Originally I was really happy with the yard, but after his response to my request, I can't say that I can't fully recommend them, unless you 100% examine every detail on the final walkthrough.

We initially had our concrete patio done prior on our new build and had a really poor experience with the contractor. For the remainder of the backyard, our main focus while getting estimates was hiring a contractor that we felt had a strong sense of integrity. Jeff definitely stood out to us the most with his attention to detail, suggestions for working within our budget and the way he presented how he runs his company during our estimate. We decided to hire Ruff & Ready to install sod/irrigation, drainage, concrete curbing, plants, and decorative rock among other things. We would recommend Ruff & Ready a thousand times over. The crew that worked on our yard were extremely kind and respectful, Jeff was present & readily available throughout the entire process and all aspects of work were followed through. Just snapped these pictures today, sod was planted a little over a month ago-following Jeff's watering guidelines, it's rooted great and is looking nice & healthy. We also had storm a few weeks ago with a good amount of rain-drainage worked amazing! We just wanted to thank the crew and Jeff at Ruff & Ready again for making our once dirt backyard into a place to enjoy for us & our doggos!

Ruff and Ready Landscaping did an amazing job transforming our crumbling outdated yard into a beautiful entertainer's paradise. We were impressed by their professionalism and the timely manner in which they completed this project.

Jeff and the team completely transformed our little backyard into a lovely spot for us to bbq and enjoy some greenery. Being a condo and being on a budget we couldn't get too crazy but we loved how the yard turned out. Communication was excellent and the construction crew was very thorough and were respectful of our neighbors and our own needs. Jeff and his team always remain always available to talk to us should we need anything - it's great to find a contractor that stands by and guarantees their work.

I really appreciate the wonderful landscaping Jeff and the rest of his team did for my backyard. Ruff & Ready Landscape made it easy on our end by helping us with the design we had in mind and making it a reality. The quality work is second to none. It's hard to find a company who cares for their quality job and stand behind their work ethics. They kept my property clean by making sure any loose materials and trash was dispose properly. I am very impressed. Whenever we had questions it was easy to get hold of Jeff and his team. I highly recommend Ruff & Ready Landscape to all my family and friends. Thank you!

From the moment I spoke with Jeff Ruff, I knew he had integrity and my business. We had an ugly backyard that was filled with large gravel and we seldomly used that area. We kept hoping for an area that would be low maintenance, filled with greenery and have grass for our dogs. After meeting with Jeff, the work was kept on schedule and our work crew was hard working. If I could give Ruff and Ready more than five stars, I would do so and I would recommend them for your future landscape needs. They turned our vision into a truly relaxing backyard.

Side view

Jeff and his Amazing team did such a top notch job in our backyard. We had mature landscaping however we put a pool in and the landscaping was out of place. Jeff and his team transformed the yard and now it looks wonderful. All his workers were courteous and constantly cleaned up after every day. They payed attention to the details which was important to me. They removed two large trees and even took the time to grind out the stumps. They could have buried them I would not know any different. Honest and integrity is what Ruff & Ready landscape is all about. I would highly recommend them

Front landscaping

What a great experience. Jeff and his crew were clean, hard-working, professional, on time, creative. We highly recommend them for any landscaping needs you have.

Thrilled with Jeff Ruff's design and execution of our project! Communication was spectacular & Jeff set clear expectations. He understood our vision and exceeded it! Highly recommend this business for any of your landscape needs.

We moved into new construction and hired Ruff & Ready to turn our backyard into a place for us to relax and enjoy time with our family. Working with Jeff was easy and he was always professional and accommodating, despite multiple last minute requests and changes. We also had some issues with the irrigation system that the builder installed and Jeff was able to help us get that fixed, even though it wasn't something that was purchased from or installed by his company. We would absolutely recommend Ruff & Ready and would use them again for any future landscaping projects!

What a transformation.  New rip rap jetty, 2 retaining walls, fencing, planters, stairs and decking.

Jeff and his crew recently completed a full rear yard landscape and hardscape project for us and we could not be happier with the results and our choice of contractor. The job was completed on budget and ahead of schedule which is rare in this field. Never once did I ever have to call for a status to find out what is happening. Jeff's crew was here early every work day and cleaned up the jobsite each day. If you are on the fence (no pun intended) about choosing among different contractors for your job then you have found your dream in Jeff. He came by here every day to check the progress and ensure the job was being done correctly and timely. It does not get better than Ruff and Ready. Pull the trigger!!! You won't be sorry.

You can tell it's more than one piece. It's not even a large area so why did they use more than one piece?

So... I finally have time to sit and update this review. It's been a couple of years since we had our backyard and over a year since our front yard. Our backyard experience was great. The front yard... not so much. Overall the front yard looks good, however, they didn't follow instructions when I told them I wanted rock rings around the tree. I just let it be because they already went past the point of putting the rings around the tree and I didn't want to prolong the process by having them do it over, we had a mulch area in our backyard switched out and concreted over and the concrete job isn't the best and they had to do it over because it wasn't looking right, after the second time, I was told I would be charged if they had to do it a third time which was weird seeing as though they weren't doing it right. They told me it wasn't coming out perfect because of the curb I had around the mulch area prior to them filling it in... like it was my fault or something.... They are the professionals and should've known what to expect and not put it on the customer if they can't do something right, and lastly the turf is pretty bad. I had never had turf installed before so I wasn't really sure how it was supposed to look until it was pointed out to me. The turf isn't properly tucked and it also looks like multiple pieces were used and it should be seamless but it isn't. I got my front yard done in July 2022 and to date no one has come to fix it after I reached out to Jeff and his foreman multiple times in the past and was told someone would come by and they just say f me and never came back to fix it. I just gave up and decided I wouldn't use the company anymore. We recently had our backyard grass removed and turf installed by another landscaping company. It looks fantastic and is how turf is supposed to look. It's one large piece and is seamless unlike what ruff and ready did to my front yard. I look at my neighbors front yard turf and see how nice theirs is and then there's my front yard turf. Makes me sad when I look at it. It's not the worst job, it's pretty secure, is isn't coming up or anything, just not aesthetically pleasing and we want the aesthetics when it comes to our homes. Lastly, I asked for a fruitless olive tree and guess what I got, olives everywhere, attracting big rats to my yard. Same for my plum tree. Reading more about the plum trees, I guess even some fruitless trees can produce plums but on top of asking for fruitless, I also asked for trees that don't shed leaves too much, and guess what? The plum tree sheds all its leaves every winter, backyard full of leaves that my son is allergic to (molding leaves), our other tree is fine, it barely sheds anything but I don't have a green thumb so I expected them to be the plant and tree experts. Some of my plants burned so bad in the sun and died, the same plants in the shaded area of the backyard are prospering so why did they install plants that couldn't stand direct sun? I just expected them to know what types of plants and trees would, idk, stay alive and thrive in this climate. Most of the plants survived and are thriving, the tequila plant and the aloe were made for this climate, maybe it should've been advised to put those types only? Idk just a thought. Jeff is extremely nice! I think he truly depends on his team to do their job and have his back but once his foreman Tony left, the new one that took over just couldn't hold a candle. I feel if Tony was there, or someone with the same work ethic, the front yard would've turned out better. The rocks they put were huge in such a small yard, it was pretty hard to say oh no I don't like those after they already installed them. I couldn't ask them to take all those rocks back but you'd think they'd look at it and be like meh that doesn't look right. I figured they were putting the same rocks that we have in the backyard but they put these huge flintstone rocks out there that I will be changing eventually when I have the time. This review is all over the place but anyways, that's my update. Overall good company but you just have to keep a good eye on the team and hold them to fixing issues if any occur. Overall there were minimal issues but the messed up turf that no one came to fix is just a constant annoyance every time I look at it! Sorry for any types ahead of time.

Art was truly awesome!…read more This is a task I've been putting off for months, but I reached out to Art with California Green on Friday afternoon. He stopped by Saturday morning for an inspection and a quote, and the work was done by Monday afternoon. Communication was smooth and Art was very knowledgeable and timely/punctual. I would definitely recommend him in the future!

We had a loud hammering whenever the sprinkler system finishes a cycle. There were also broken…read moresprinklers, damaged drip system and old valves. We searched around on and found California Green Irrigation and Landscaping to stand out from the crowd. Art was extremely punctual when he arrived to give us a quote on the project. He was thorough at assessing all the issues, placed flags in all the problem areas and explained what the issues were and then offered a solution. He arrived on time on the day of the to do the project. Replacing several new valves for the front yard, added filter regulator to 4 valves. 2 in front and 2 in back yard, Repaired all the broken drop lines in front and back yard, removed and fixed a couple broken sprinklers. He took the time to also show me how to use the sprinkler timer. Art is very professional and backs his work 100%. We had a small leakage a few weeks later (which was not related to his work at all), he came out to take a look and fixed it the same day. Now that is tremendous service. We would definitely recommend California Green to Friends and family. We appreciate the great service that was provided. Thank you Art and the team at California Green.
