After
Kevin Y.

Stones Landscaping was great. We wanted a relatively straight-foward job, paving 2/3 of our back and side yard with concrete. Carolino, the lead (foreman?) was attentive and answered all my questions about the project. Gladys and Karla answered all my questions when I called in. They finished the project on time and on budget, converting our urban jungle into a useful and livable space. I would highly recommend them to any one who needs landscaping done.

I absolutely recommend Stones Landscaping with a 5-star review. They're amazing. They were competitive in pricing, sure. And that was the initial motivating factor in what they offered. But Manuel, the owner, was out early to meet us to discuss our project. He was the only person to bid the project who showed up early. When we signed a contract with Stones, they informed us they could start in 2 weeks, or TOMORROW. They were literally in our yard the following day with hand tools, a bob cat, etc. Every single day they emailed, texted or called to inform us of the status, or to let us know the weather would delay the project a day. Their invoicing was easy and on time. They estimated our backyard would take 2 weeks, and it took 3 but it also rained an entire week. So they were EXACTLY on time. 10 out of 10 - their professionalism, work ethic, and timeliness were amazing. On a whim, we requested them to bid our front yard. And immediately booked them for that. They had our entire front yard done (irrigation, pavers, and sod) in less than 5 days. Hire Stones Landscaping TODAY. You won't regret it. Manuel, Lupe, Glayds, and everyone else were fantastic!

We contracted with Stones to help prepare an area of our property for a sports court. The area needed leveling with both wood and block retaining walls. They did a fantastic job! In fact, we were so pleased, we hired them to lay a paver patio and parking area adjacent to the court. As you can see, everything came out beautifully. Owner Manuel was easy to work with and gave us reasonable pricing, and his crew was professional, courteous and careful. I highly recommend Stones for grading, retaining wall and paver work.

I was referred to Stones Landscaping Inc. by my landscaper designer for my house rebuild project. I got quick response from Stones Landscaping after I sent an email to the office. I also got frequent update on the status regarding the on-site consultation and quote. Manuel gave me a competitive price for the initial scope of the front yard, driveway, sides, and backyard pavers as well as the front porch tile installation. After the project started, the scope was expanded to include the seating wall, fence gate, and patio step. He also gave me some discount for the added scope of work. I'm quite satisfied with the quality of their work. Overall, I had pretty good experience working with Stones Landscaping and I would strongly recommend hiring them for your future projects.

After

When we bought the new house, we found the front deck/porch in a very bad condition. Stones landscaping did an amazing job installing the pavers, providing a more functional space for us. They also upgraded the lighting and irrigation system, at our request. They were very accommodating to our asks and always very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this business!

Yardistry gazebo

Stones Landscaping was very responsive throughout. The quote process was easy and fast, the extension of the existing slab and stone work was very good and the assembly of the Yardistry 12x14 gazebo was done with high quality. I highly recommended Stones.

Small backyard remodel. New pavers, artificial turf, planter boxes, and the pergola that Stones helped to install.

We also decided at the last minute to add a retaining wall. Manuel was our go-to person throughout the entire process. He was incredibly patient and accommodating, answering all of our questions quickly via text and email. He really understood our vision and made sure every requirement and price quote was accurately reflected in the contract. His crew was led by Jose, who did a thorough and beautiful job installing the pavers, retaining wall, lighting, and drip lines. Though a minor language barrier caused a few quick miscommunications, Manuel was on-site almost every day of the 1.5-week project to keep everything running smoothly. We are so excited to start adding plants and accessories to our gorgeous new yard! We highly recommend Black Diamond. (Note: We chose Belgard Quarry Sandstone for a rugged, multi-color paver look, and Belgard Catalina Grana in cinder block gray for the retaining wall.)

He worked through my ideas, helped me land on a finalized plan, and even created a rendering that made everything click for me. He then walked me through different options to keep the project within my budget, and we landed on a plan we were both happy with after a great back-and-forth. The execution was flawless. Mario, the head landscaper, and his crew finished the entire project in just 10 days, while every other quote I'd received estimated three to four weeks. The quality of work was excellent, and the team was incredibly professional, arriving at 8 a.m. and working until 6 p.m. every day, with materials always on time and no surprise changes to price or scope. Gasim himself showed up every single day, taking photos and helping the crew course-correct whenever needed. It was clear he genuinely cared about his team too, making sure they were comfortable and taken care of throughout the project. I'm thrilled with how the backyard turned out, and I've gotten so many compliments on it. That's a direct result of the trust Gasim built with us. I'll absolutely be calling them for future projects.

Their unlimited revisions were a huge advantage for someone like me who loves diving deep into design details. Achva's design instincts are spot on -- her guidance on the louvre placement and overall layout truly elevated the space. They also suggested furniture pieces and styling ideas, which helped me make great choices when I did my own shopping. Their recommended contractors were excellent, but the pricing was higher than I expected. To stay within budget, I decided to manage the entire project myself with separate contractors. The final design had replaced the custom fountain with a more budget-friendly option, but on request they were kind enough to share the original custom fountain design, which I built with my contractor at a much lower price. The whole project was very time consuming and hard work, but it saved a lot of cost, and the result was incredibly rewarding. Due to some misunderstandings, we decided to part ways amicable, so they couldn't continue with the front/side yard phase -- but they still provided the initial concepts that I can use in the future. Overall, Vision to Completion delivered a thoughtful, contemporary design that became the blueprint for a transformation I'm truly proud of. Highly recommended for anyone who wants creative, flexible, and detail oriented landscape designers. I have attached a few images of their initial concept and the final backyard images to show the transformation!

We ran into some difficulties at the start due to a last-minute cancellation by Matt and some unresponsiveness through email. When we voiced our concerns, Matt really stepped up to ensure our concerns were met. He immediately refunded us for the cost of the service, and he offered to meet with us at no cost. We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!

The virtual call was perfect for our project, we provided Matt with pictures of the backyard space as well as a video walkthrough. He took this information as well as our preferences for how we envisioned the space to be used to come up with a 2D design. He also recommended materials and local contractors. We contacted one of the contractors a few weeks later and finished the project with them in about 2 months. I highly recommend the Virtual Consultation for smaller projects with Matt. His feedback for our questions and experience with similar projects were very beneficial to starting this backyard project for us.

I got a couple of quotes through Yelp, but ultimately decided to go with Kay Green -- and I'm so glad I did. It took Young and his crew about a day and a half to complete the project.

We ran into a few unexpected issues during the project, but Young was always upfront about what was happening and communicated his solutions clearly. His recommendations were thoughtful and turned out great. I would definitely use Kay Green again for any future landscaping projects and will happily recommend them to family and friends!

You never tell someone that's paying you $500 dollars to take your time and do a professional job to go inside. I should have told him to get the F off of my property and hired someone else. I would have been better off hiring men from Home Depot. Totally unprofessional, rushed the job, ruined a couple of plants and didn't give a shit how it looked, even after I showed the owner the damaged plants and all the broken branches only to find more as the branches dried out in the weeks to come. He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing. I've waited weeks to write this review, in hopes that the job would look better, but it doesn't. Thanks a lot, KAY GREEN LANDSCAPING FOR DOING A SHITTY JOB AND TELLING ME TO GO INSIDE. I should have kicked your ass to the curb and told you to take a hike.

Our new backyard is gorgeous, and the details of our experience tell the story. We worked closely with Danny, the on-site supervisor, who is a top-notch professional. He knows his plants and hardscape, pays attention to every detail, and manages his crew with great efficiency. The crew worked as hard as any I've ever seen, and they did everything--digging out enormous tree roots, setting flagstone for our patio, installing irrigation and lighting, moving boulders--you name it. They showed up every day and even worked several Saturdays to get the job finished on time and before we had to travel. These guys were terrific, and I can't thank them enough for the tremendous effort they put into both the demolition and the complete recreation of our backyard. Marcus, the office manager, was also great to work with. He took us out to select our patio stone, river rock, and boulders, and was patient and generous with his time as we made decisions throughout the project. If you need a concern or question answered quickly, call the office: they respond right away! As we watched the project progress over the weeks, my husband and I often commented to each other on the quality of the work and the care being taken with every part of the job. We are grateful to every one of the men who worked in our yard and deeply appreciate their hard work, skill, and professionalism. I recommend SouthBay Landscape and Design enthusiastically and without reservation. They do top-quality work, and they were a pleasure to have at our home. One additional note: we also used the landscape designer they recommended, Dawn, and she was excellent. We are thrilled with the beautiful backyard they all helped create.

Her process is pretty amazing; she spent a few hours with us in the backyard, asking questions and taking notes.
