Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with. I had met with no fewer than nine landscape companies before Smart Landscape and they were nightmares for various reasons. Danny is wonderful to work with and makes sure the customer is happy.

I had the best experience with Manuel! I needed to redo our backyard - which was overgrown for over…read morea decade. There was a lot of weeds and overgrown trees, which we wanted to replace with concrete. I had various jobs for him over a two week period. Manuel was great from start to finish. He came quickly for our first estimate for landscaping, and the value was great. His pricing was fair. Him and his crew worked quickly to get the landscaping work done in our backyard - clearing weeds, removing a large guava tree and smaller fruit tree, trimming trees, and cutting ice plants. I was so happy with their work I asked if they could clean our palm trees. The price again was great and they did it in a few hours. After that, I worked with him to get concrete laid in our backyard. The price for concrete was very reasonable. Him and his crew worked efficiently but with quality to get the concrete in our backyard. The whole concrete process took 3 days and I couldn't be happier with the final product. I also had some side projects they completed during their time here - removing a metal shed and replacing a patio cover. Manuel was always great communicating with me and his work was excellent. I would highly recommend using Manual for your landscaping projects and will be using him in the future!

Tim listens to what you want and figures out the best way to make it work. He and is crew are very professional. He delivered on budget, on time and no issues. Work quality beyond my expectations. The project involved extensive paving, tile work, planters, irrigation, drainage, pergola, grass area, fire pit, custom/built-in BBQ, water feature, hot tub power, 220V heaters for patio, low voltage lighting and trees and plants appropriate for the area. All electrical and gas done with permits. I would highly recommend Tim for your outdoor project. We have an amazing, lovely backyard to entertain thanks to his vision and execution.

We reached out to Tim for a quote and he recommended a landscape architect for us to work with. We settled on a plan that my wife was very pleased with. Tim gave us a quote and we are off.

Tim was very friendly and his team showed up at 8am promptly every day. He made some suggestions to the backyard paver pattern that my wife really liked. It makes it look so much more interesting. I would highly recommend Tim and his crew if you have any landscaping needs.

I found Carmelo on Yelp while searching for a reputable landscaping company to redo our front yard,…read moretrim our large backyard fruit trees, add a timer to the irrigation system, and take care of a few other tasks. I got multiple quotes, and while his pricing was very competitive, what really stood out was how quickly he responded with a detailed quote--much faster than the others. He was also friendly, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. His crew just finished our project in 5 days, and my husband and I couldn't be happier. They did excellent work, were respectful of our space, cleaned up thoroughly each day (which many contractors overlook), and worked hard the entire time. Gabriel ran our job and he was excellent and always had a smile on his face. I've already shared Carmelo's number with two friends and will absolutely continue to refer him to anyone in need of a great landscaper. We'll also be using him for our monthly maintenance. 5/5--thank you, Carmelo!

We recently contracted Rock N Block to remove planters for pavers, move a gas line and build a…read morebarbecue outdoor counter. Aaron was our sales contact, and he answered all my questions before I signed which made us feel good about using them and had some good suggestions. Their model of doing whatever we need and mixing with what other contractors we use is great; we for example purchased a quartzite slab for the kitchen and Rock N Block did the rest. The prices were very reasonable as well, and looking at the end product I think it was a great deal. The rest of the team, Alexis and Jose, did a great job keeping us updated and keeping our property clean. I'm not sure who the guys were that did the counter build, I think it was someone and his two adult kids, but they did an incredible job and it seemed like they took the time to do quality work. The rest of the project ran into some difficulty with the electrical hookup and gas move, but Jose still got the work done on time and worked well with our countertop fabricator to coordinate what they needed and when to install Overall went really well and would recommend them for any sort of hardscape project.

In fact, his proposal included everything needed to properly prepare and establish a healthy lawn, while other estimates we received were significantly more expensive and included less. Michael recommended St. Augustine grass because we have a large dog, and within a week, his team was ready to start the project. He explained the entire process ahead of time and gave me detailed guidance about the watering schedule, mowing schedule, and recommended equipment for maintaining the new lawn. The crew was amazing--efficient, professional, polite, and extremely hardworking. Carlos, the crew lead, was especially impressive. He is calm, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented. He listened carefully to every concern I had and made sure everything was addressed properly. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and they even installed a fence that we provided to protect the new lawn from foot traffic and our dog while it gets established. The finished lawn looks absolutely beautiful. The new sprinkler system is quiet, efficient, and works perfectly. They used new, quality materials and clearly did not cut corners anywhere in the project. After comparing several companies and estimates, I am very happy that we chose Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance. We received a better, more complete project at a very competitive price. Michael, Carlos, and the entire crew exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!
