    Brazilian Pepper Tree

    Very impressed! Detailed set up before pruning or removing trees, and detailed clean-up afterward. Even though they needed to return the next day to continue, they cleaned up all the sawdust off the patios before they left for the day. They were respectful and courteous and WOW do they work hard! Highly recommend!

    Specialize Tree Care & Landscape has provided seamless and professional service to us on an annual basis for the past 20 years. From the initial consultation to final cleanup, their expertise, punctuality, and pruning artistry are exceptional. We highly recommend them.

    There are ways to do business respectfully and there are not. This is the first negative review I have ever done and I stand by it 100%. I only hope it helps others choose a better company and avoid the experience I had with Specialized Tree Works. First, let me say I called this company for a half-day "yard clean-up". I was told they did these and was quoted IN WRITING $725. I was subsequently "up-sold" in person to hire the same two person crew for an entire day. We walked the property, I explained all areas I wanted to one day have addressed and the owner said that if I had his crew for the full day, all of these issues would be addressed and more. I was assured that "you will be looking for more for them to do by the end of the day" more than once. I then received two more estimates, one for a half and one for a full day. The half-day had increased to $1450 and the full day was $1850. The $1450 quote was for the exact same 8 items specified on the original $725 quote, with the $1850 quote only adding two more items. When I inquired as to all of these things, I was assured that the $1850 was the best way for me to go regardless and that if I did not use a credit card with additional fees, he would take another $75 off the price. I was also assured that one of the team members would be in communication with me during the day and speak English. Of the 10 line items specified in the "proposal", only half of what was promised was completed. Most importantly, the clean-up I originally came to them for was not done. Dead plants, bushes, trees were not removed, shrubs were not shaped or trimmed, the entire back area, driveway, and front slope were not touched. Moreover, they were even damaged by the half day focus on an oak tree that wasn't even in the proposal or a priority at all. I called mid-day (no response), and then asked the owner at 2pm when he finally stopped by as to my concerns and was assured they were "making their way" to what was on the proposal. I was not able to exchange even two words with the worker who supposedly spoke English, as he was in the trees most of the day, when the goal was cleanup. The most disheartening part of this experience was how my concerns were addressed in the end. After sending a detailed email as to my disaticefaction, I was told he felt they did nothing wrong and that he would come up the house to go over this with me. Not only did he NOT come, but missed two appointments which I took off work for and then finally sent his other manager Andrew. This was the most disrespectful interaction I have ever had upon sharing concerns on a job with anyone in my life. Not only was he dismissive, defensive, and abrasive when, in fact, he WAS NOT EVEN THERE, he dismissed all of the proposals as meaningless. He said that he didn't care or believe what I shared regarding his crew because he "knew them". He said that I wasn't charged enough four times, that I should have been additionally charged for dump fees (which were specifically included in both quoted fees), that all of the written details of what would be done meant nothing and that they were willing to do only ONE thing to rectify the situation: remove one large dead bush. To add insult to injury, when I said I would simply pay the total specified less the $75 by check, he said that I could only have that discount with cash, when we both knew it was not a cash issue but a credit card fee accommodation. As he was leaving, he then pretended to backpedal, asking if he could do anything else, and when asked again what that might be, he simply said again that I was actually given too good of a deal to begin with and he would have never quoted any of that to me. BUT THE OWNER DID. AND HE DID IT IN WRITING. If a businesses does not intend to back any facet of a proposal, one shouldn't be given. Finally, I must say that this last interaction felt demeaning and echoed every possible reason people go with larger companies where they are treated with more respect and the work is backed.

    Working with Mike and the Sea Breeze team was truly easy breezy. I had worked with contractors…read morebefore for an in-home renovation and this experience was so much better, efficient, and organized in comparison. To be honest, it really restored my faith in landscaping contractors. I submitted an online request for a quote and the next day Mike emailed me requesting pictures of what our project wanted to include. Originally we just wanted to pull out our front yard plants and redo just the front but there is a $5000 project minimum. After deciding to redo our turf and also include our backyard, Mike came out the next week for a free in person consultation and got me a detailed quote within 2 days. The turnaround time for everything was just amazing, I've never seen anything like it. Our lot is about 3615 sq ft to give a reference point. Our project included: all the labor to demolish/uproot all of our plants including a very large 20 year old tree in the backyard + all the roots (completed in 2-3 days), redid our front and backyard turf (completed in 2 days by Backyard Golf Company), added a veneer stone and cap on our retaining wall (1 week) and replanted all our plants/installed a drip sprinkler system/installed lighting front and backyard (1 week). We have an HOA and Mike had a complete detailed plan and diagram ready for us within 3-5 days. Once HOA got back to us, the project was started within a week and finished in the estimated time frame. Workers came promptly at 8 AM and they were actively working all day not just sitting around. Very respectful, even blowing all the dust at the end of the day to keep the area clean, no garbage left anywhere. The entire project was $30,000 and there weren't any surprise or unexpected costs. Invoices are sent every week on a reasonable schedule and I just loved our experience. I'd recommend Seabreeze to anyone wanting to do their hardscape landscaping in a heartbeat!

    I can't say enough great things about Jake Joe and his team at Echo Homes. From start to finish,…read morethe entire experience exceeded my expectations. Our project included a full transformation of our backyard, courtyard, and side yard, and the results are absolutely stunning. Jake installed two custom fire pits, beautifully laid porcelain tile, and a customized louvered patio cover. He also helped with the placement of patio pots and selecting plant material, carefully considering sunlight, plant hardiness, and overall aesthetics. Everything feels perfectly balanced and thoughtfully designed. Even though I had a professional landscape design to start with, Jake suggested several updates that elevated the entire space, giving it a more modern and upscale look. He truly has an exceptional eye for detail and is resourceful at troubleshooting. His crew, Moi and Paco, were equally impressive. They were onsite every day from 7am to sunset, Monday through Saturday, and their work ethic was unmatched. Moi, in particular, stood out. He is incredibly diligent, knowledgeable, and professional. It was clear that they approached every step with care, always "measuring twice and cutting once." They took the time to think through details and identify potential issues before making any cuts, which gave me a lot of confidence in their craftsmanship. Jake's commitment to quality really sets him apart. If something wasn't perfect in his eyes, he had his team redo it even if it was solely for aesthetics like the placement of a pot. His adjustments and recommendations made the final result even better. This wasn't only about getting the job done quickly, it was definitely about getting it done right. The end result is top-notch, and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend Jake Joe and Echo Homes to anyone looking for high-quality, thoughtful, and beautifully executed landscaping work. (I wish I could've said this about my house remodeling contractors - no comment!)

They handled our entire project from start to finish, which included installing new pavers, turf, and an irrigation system. The quality of their work is fantastic, and the finished yard looks absolutely beautiful--exactly like the design photos we had hoped for. As with any large landscaping project, there were a couple of minor issues that popped up along the way, but Jake was incredibly responsive and made sure everything was taken care of very quickly without any hassle. Overall, I am extremely happy with how the yard turned out. If you're looking for a reliable team in the Irvine area that does high-quality work and stands behind it, I highly recommend Jake and Echo Family Landscaping.

They were very competitive on pricing as we got several quotes. Oscar was very easy to work with as we described our needs and he came up with great designs that took very little adjustments to get exactly what we had envisioned. Oscar took us to several nurseries to select plants that would compliment the project. Victor took care of the demo and construction side of the project and was he amazing! The crew shows up on time and the site is thoroughly cleaned up each day. Communication was awesome, if we had any questions about products or how things were being laid out Victor answered them right away. As the project went along if Victor thought something might look better a certain way he would ask us what we thought before proceeding. Victor's crew were very courteous and professional at all times! When the project was completed we received a plant care and maintenance list that was very detailed allowing us to take proper care of the plants. We highly recommend Caliscapes OC. You rarely see a company that is so attentive and caring about their end results in today's world! Quality craftsmanship! Oscar and Victor run a very professional business and it shows!

We did not have a concrete idea of what we wanted at first but Oscar was great with helping us plan by guiding us and asking about how we wanted to use our space. He also created documents to submit to our HOA for approval, and he was able to make changes quickly when needed. Victor and the crew were on time, efficient, and timely with the work. It was greatly appreciated that everything was washed down and cleaned by the crew at the end of each day. They were also able to make quick adjustments when our neighbor had some concerns with the hedges we wanted to plant. The scope of the work included adding a concrete pad, extending our concrete patio, planting privacy hedges with drainage and auto watering system, installing artificial grass with paver walkways, and adding pebbles along the exterior wall of our house. Since we have a soft watering system, we also had them install a separate line from the main. Overall, Caliscapes OC was professional, friendly, and accommodating. We even had one of the hedge plants not doing well. We reached out to Caliscapes OC to advise us on how to revive it, and they said they would replace it. We had a good experience and would recommend!

My yard was overgrown and a mess. The sod from 2000 was done and full of weeds. The planting areas were in terrible shape. Fern and I talked and together we put together an idea of a combination of sod and DG. I mentioned to him that I always ask for more than discussed and to make sure he added the additional expense. They showed up on time every day at 6:30am and worked nonstop until dusk. They removed two big truck loads of dirt, old sod, weeds, roots and old plants by loading the truck using wheelbarrows. They put in new drip irrigation, new sprinkler lines and valves and repaired my outdoor electrical outlets. They built three paver borders and used cement to make a paver border fence I built by stacking blocks permanent. He cleaned out a raised planter not in the quote, fixed the drip lines and mulched and used my old fountain to build a bird feeder space in the planter. The quote was very fair and the addition price for the added work was very fair also. I will definitely be using him again for my next project. He also installed new ceramic tiles with my address on the front of the house and cleaned out part of my gutters and fixed the leaks to keep them from dripping on the DG. Use Fern for your landscaping needs and I'm sure you will be very satisfied!

Fern and his team carried heavy retaining wall blocks one by one into the backyard as well as gravel by the bucket without any complaints. I feel they even worked longer hours each day to try and get the job done in a timely manner. They did an amazing job and did exactly what I was requesting for. I would highly recommend working with Fern for any landscaping projects.
