Jay helped us with the walkway design and he is a highly skilled artisan with a good eye for design. He and his brother Monkey arrived with a full crew and they were all clean, respectful and efficient in their process/planning.

They are an honest family-owned business, and his father still visits the job sites providing his wisdom & critical eye. Our house has a fresh new curb appeal and we have received so many compliments. Overall value was money well spent. We would most definitely hire them again without hesitation!

Our journey with the Ruff and Ready family began in 2024. We had wanted to put concrete in our…read morebackyard but unfortunately, our funds had to be diverted to replace our AC. Fast forward almost two years later, we were ready to put the concrete in our yard. When I contacted Ruff & Ready, they had our photos, previous quote, and hand written notes still in their portal. I surely wasn't expecting this. Jeff came out to measure the new spot and confirm the scope of work. He was efficient, flexible with his timing, and arrived in the window given. Jeff's quote was not the most expensive nor was it the cheapest. What made us choose Ruff & Ready you ask? Jeff spoke as if what he said would actually happen. And that's how it went! He was transparent, honest, and didn't fluff anything. He got us a quote for the updated work within 24 hours. His office assistant Vanessa answered all our questions and walked us through the timeline of the whole thing, from start to finish, from signing our contract to paying the deposit to when we would begin work to how to pay the remaining balance. Vanessa answered text messages promptly and also answered the phone. No elevator music on the other line, no 'all of our representatives are busy' garbage. The crew who came out was incredible. They were respectful. They didn't blast music or leave trash. They were thorough and adhered to the timeline given. They closed the gate and ensured it was locked each day, which matters to me as a mom with littles. They parked in the street and moved when I needed to get into my garage. We used Ruff & Ready as a test as our current gardener will be relocating soon. We could not be happier with our experience and plan to use them for future backyard projects. Thank you Vanessa, Jeff, and the Ruff and Ready team!

My husband and I were having a hard time deciding exactly what we wanted done in our backyard. Our…read morehouse is 30 years old, we have a large lot and even though it was professionally landscaped many years ago, it needed a complete overhaul. Gary came out and gave us an initial estimate for the work we thought we were going to want to have done. We had had a few other estimates, but no one else really had new ideas for us. Gary really has an artistic eye for design, and showed us some computer drawings of what he thought could be done with it. We decided to use A-1 for our backyard project. His crew was there every morning six days a week, were so knowledgeable about each step of the project, and really did amazing work. As the project progressed, we would talk with Gary about where we were at, if we wanted to change anything, and what the costs would be. We ended up doing more work than we thought we were going to have done, but we wouldn't change a thing. Our yard is absolutely gorgeous! They put all new fences on our property, a shed, a stacked retaining wall, steps, outdoor lighting, a patio and cover, raised fire pit, new sprinklers, sod and some boulders and landscaping. We never imagined our backyard could be this inviting and beautiful. Thank you Gary and Enrique for having the vision and the ability to create this oasis for us! Our family will be enjoying it for many years and creating a lot of wonderful memories here.

We just filed a complaint with the California State License Board against Gary and are in process…read moreof filing a complaint with the Temecula Valley Better Business Bureau. Working with Gary has turned into a nightmare you can't wake up from. Based on the other poor reviews and our experience, his modus operandi is missed meetings, underbidding contracts, and coming back to the homeowners for more money when they are vulnerable. We thought we were dealing with A-1 Landscape & Design.  However, Gary signed the $53K contract in October 2018 as Creatiscape Inc using the license number assigned to A-1 Landscape, a sole proprietorship.  The crew came in and demoed the existing patio, leaving all the concrete rubble.  Gary then requested a meeting at which time he claimed he had made a huge mistake in the bid. He was financially under water and could not pay his crew unless we added $5K to the contract price and pay it to him that day.  He blamed the mistake on Santiago being out when he estimated the job. We thought this strange as Gary is the owner, carries the license and should know how to bid a job.  We felt very uncomfortable with this but felt compelled to agree in order to get the broken concrete removed and the workers back on the job.  Gary never provided a change order. He assured us he had reviewed the contract and there would be no more surprises.   The workers came back to work and proceeded to rip out the existing electrical runs when working the bobcat.  Gary took no responsibility for the repairs needed.   We still hadn't even gotten to the first progress payment when Gary came back a second time telling us he couldn't complete the job for lack of funds. He practically begged us to let him complete the work up to the first progress payment but would not commit to finishing the rest of the job for the contracted price.  We refused and insisted he complete the job as contracted and work with us on fixing the electrical issues.  Instead, he and Santiago came back, packed up their tools and left leaving the backyard a mess with unsafe holes and trenches and no power.  We contacted a lawyer who advised us that Gary is not allowed to use the contractor's license for A-1 to engage in a contract under Creatiscape Inc.  A call to the insurance company confirmed that Gary carried worker's compensation under A-1 Landscape, but nothing under the corporation he signed the contract under.  We weren't covered if there had been an incident. Even under A-1 he had a gap of insurance coverage for over three months in 2018.

After bidding with three companies, Peter's Paving stood out for their thoroughness, professionalism, and fair pricing. From start to finish, Zack was fantastic to work with--he was always available to answer our questions and visited the site multiple times throughout the week-long project to ensure everything was on track. Him and everyone on the crew was committed to making sure the project was done correctly - their attention to detail was really appreciated. The crew was incredible! They tackled our tricky driveway with ease, working efficiently and staying organized every day from early morning until sunset. Watching them expertly handle the grading, pulverizing, and paving was so impressive. I texted Zack the day before our project was scheduled to start about adding a gravel driveway through another part of our property. Not only did he give us a very reasonable quote, he had the crew working on it throughout the week and finishing at the same time. By end of week we had TWO new roads: a beautifully paved driveway and a functional gravel road for emergency exit/access!
