When I decided to redo my backyard, I consulted with several contractors. My primary goals were to…read morereplace an aging deck and to cover the yard in pavers reducing the weed potential, which had been an ongoing problem for years. I chose pavers because they have a better track record for longevity than concrete. When I got back the proposals, I appreciated that the one from Forever Green Cali reflected everything I had mentioned in our initial meeting and had the best price. It was clear that attention had been paid during the meeting. Once selected as the contractor, the work began pretty quickly, nailing down details, making selections, identifying the things to stay, etc. The demolition of the existing deck and cleanup of the weeds went fairly quickly. And there were a lot of weeds. The rest of the work of preparing the foundation and sand and then laying the pavers went very quickly as well. Their employees worked very hard and with precision. I had an existing orange tree that was remaining and I really liked the outline that was made around it, including the darker accent pavers. I wanted a tree on the other side of the yard and I had failed to emphasize where I wanted it. When I asked about making a change to pavers already laid out in order to adjust for the tree, Firas was quick to accommodate me, and his employee made the change in no time. This cut out mimics the cut out for the orange tree and really complements it. As a novice at this sort of thing, I appreciated the good suggestions Firas made throughout the process. He and his team were very easy to work with. Part of this process included using their landscape designer to design the planting beds that were around the perimeter. She really took into consideration the kinds of plants I liked and the color scheme that I wanted. After our trip to the nursery, she provided a schematic so that I could anticipate what it would look like and also serve as a guide for the planting of the yard. I absolutely love the result. It is precisely what I wanted. I love the patio that replaced the deck. The edge is trimmed in a darker bullnose paver that makes it visually clear that there is a step down and the lights under the step emphasize this transition. Having broken my arm in the yard five months ago, this is a safety feature that I really appreciate. My backyard is now a much safer place to be which was a primary incentive for this entire project. Did I mention that I love my backyard? It's now a calm and tranquil place to relax. I cannot recommend Forever Green Cali highly enough. If I were to ever have another yard that needed assistance, I would definitely use them again.

The consultation was quick and easy, I just told them what I wanted, they got the measurements, and sent me a quote via email by the end of the day. Everyone was very quick to respond to my questions and they were able to get the project started the following week after I decided to continue with them. The price was comparable to the other quote I for the same project, but Forever Green's quote included the rocks around the edges, so I went with them. The landscaping crew were clean and efficient and were able to get the job done in less than three work days.

Nick and his crew recently redid our entire backyard landscaping, from the demolition and removal…read moreof existing concrete, lawn, and plants, through the installation of pavers, plants, bark, irrigation, and lighting. The crew that came every day were consistent with their timing, courteous, and willing to take input. We were starting with a vague diagram of what we wanted, so there were many details to finalize during the process, and they made sure to discuss each of those with us. Nick's bid was less detailed as to what would be included than other bids, so we had started out a little bit uncomfortable, but everything that we'd discussed and expected was included in the price, including adding in trenching to set up for electricity and gas lines that the other companies wanted to charge a lot for. Several months after the job was done, Nick came by to do a wellness check on the yard, including making sure that the irrigation was working properly.  He also had some of the crew come by for a few touch up items. We highly recommend Vizcay Landscaping and would definitely hire them again in the future!

The "before" picture is actually after we mowed the weeds!! I really wanted large concrete steps for a walkway and wanted to keep a little bit of green so they installed a patch of artificial turf for me and everything turned out great!! We went from one of the worst front yards to the best on our street!! (I am biased, of course!) Nick and his crew went above and beyond by replacing the existing river rocks by the garden hose with the new gray rocks. This was not originally included in the quote and I didn't think twice about it but Nick suggested replacing them so the rocks would all match. Awesome customer service!! I would highly recommend Nick and his crew!!

From start to finish, Phil and his crew were a delight to work with. He was referred to me by a friend who recently had her backyard done and funded through the HERO program. I had been on the lookout for a Ygrene energy fund approved contractor and Phil happened to be an approved contractor for both. Score!! His attention to detail took my vision for my backyard and amplified it. He and his crew were even kind enough to take down our storage shed since my husband was unavailable. The best part of the entire experience is that his bid came in at half the price of the other two contractors I previously contacted. What I love the most about Phil Gray Landscaping and Construction is that they do good, honest work for an honest and fair price! Thanks again Phil. I refer you to all my friends/family members who are looking to landscape their yards. Maria Perez, Vacaville resident

From design to finish he sought our input and collaborated with us, even meeting us at a nursery to select trees and plants together. He sketched out a design plan by hand, later produced architectural drawings with measurements. We had a blank slate with a newly built home and he did it all. In the center of our backyard he installed a wood bridge over large koi pond with a filtered waterfall. On either side, he placed two stamped concrete patios with electricity, one for our future hot tub and the other for outdoor dining. His soil amendments and sprinkler system put in at the start have kept this yard flourishing for 18 years and counting. He and his crew are truly talented in a diverse array of skills.
