They started the demo, and continued to talk with us. We decided we wanted extra stamped cement patio, walkways and a fire pit. Torres went above and beyond with planning and actually going forward with our dream. It turned out way over the top of what we imagined! Perfect people to do your yards! We are overjoyed to have this yard to share with family and friends. Our next step is to have turf installed.

We had a quick chat on the phone, I sent pictures, Alex came by next day to evaluate the issue, he did a thorough inspection and found issues I hadn't noticed. He talked me through everything making sure I understood the issues; what was essential, and what was minor/passable, which I really appreciated. He quoted me a price. Next morning, I was an hour late, but the team arrived on time and was already wrapping up the job by the time I pulled up! The sprinkler issue ended up being less of an issue than expected, so the cost was lowered. If I have any landscaping needs, I will definitely be calling Torres Landscaping. It was a great service with a smile. Thanks, Alex and crew.

Trust me, your review is way off base but I thank you so much-because of you, I found an AMAZING gardening service!! So, I am a terrible client. Gross yard, jungle of wild nasty, and I always forget they are coming. That's me-1 Star lol. However, since the very first message, I knew this was the gardening service I needed. 1. HONESTY!! They do not sugar-coat, they do not play games. They charge for what they do. They do not over-price, they do not gouge their customers. They come out, work hard, fast, and they deserve every penny. 2. PROFESSIONAL!! They come out and do what they say. They don't slack off, they don't half-ass. They come out and work. Period. They are able to do work on their own and still get exactly what you wanted. If you are a 1 Star like me, they figure out what is best for your yard. AND IT LOOKS GREAT!! Anytime they speak to you, they make sure that you understand what is being done, why, and what SHOULD be done. They have re-seeded my yard so it is in the "weird hair-cut" phase, but look at the before pics. And of course I'll add the after when the grass they planted (for only the cost of seed!!!!) is grown out. All in all, if you need honest and professional gardeners, please take a chance, right here. Call em. Enjoy em! Write your own review. Thank you Carson Gardening for working with me and making my yard an envy of the neighborhood!!

The…read morehouse I recently bought had pretty bad landscaping, after removing all the shrubs and dead trees I realized my yard was full of nutgrass. I gave Carson's a call and asked if they could come out and lay winter rye for me in the yard and aerate the yard. Communication was smooth, they called me right back and we setup a day and time. They were a bit late but they let me know that they were running behind so I appreciate the notice. When they showed up they did a great job in the yard they even leveled out the yard as well as they could before aerating and laying the new seed, they gave me clear instructions on how to handle the yard to get the best results from the rye. Very helpful and not hard to communicate with, highly recommend and I'll be using them again in the future for my landscaping needs.

We got 4 other quotes for the yard before we finally called Mark. He was like a breath of fresh air! He was able to create our dream yard well within our budget. The other people we talked too either had prices twice our budget (and we didn't really want anything crazy) or one quoted prices so low, we were worried about the quality and whether he was really quoting us for everything. Marks price point was perfect for us. And his work was better than we could have hoped. He has been doing this for a long time and had fantastic ideas that made our yard even better. We wanted 6 fruit trees and he had great suggestions for more trees and shrubs to complete our yard since we really had no idea what else to plant. We asked for a fire pit area as well and wanted turf along our side yard so we could turn it into a play yard for our kids. The fountain with the gorgeous flower bed was all his idea. The most valuable part of using Mark though is that he is very accommodating. The yard was done very quickly, and the guys he employed to do the cement work, turf and our sliding gate, were also reasonably priced and provided the highest quality work. At one point we realized our cement boarder was further from the wall then we wanted, we told him, and he promptly fixed it. Also a few patches of grass died and he quickly fixed those as well. He added gorgeous lights to illuminate the trees. He also thinks ahead, so he added a special irrigation system to our trees so the roots will not grow up and ruin the cement boarder. On top of all this, he is easy to reach, extremely friendly and dedicated to making you happy. Make no mistake about it, his prices may seem too good to be true but he work is the best in town!

From the moment you step inside, the space feels like pure magic: vibrant, lively, and brimming with creativity in every corner. The evening unfolded beautifully with a delicious dinner catered by Bord A Petite, an open bar flowing with ease, and a thoughtfully curated silent auction featuring artwork selected by curator of exhibitions and collections Victor Gonzales alongside executive director and chief curator Gilbert Vicario. And the décor? Absolutely dreamy. Thousands of balloons were transformed into whimsical sea creatures all floating jellyfish and playful octopuses that created an enchanting, underwater fantasy throughout the space. I was so wrapped up in the moment: laughing, exploring, and enjoying the evening with my sister and her friends that I barely took any photos of the artwork itself... which just means you'll have to experience it firsthand.
