We have worked with Zach on several home improvement projects over the years, most recently the replacement of our driveway. Zach and the Tru Landscape team are always professional, dependable, and genuinely focused on looking out for the best interests of their customers. Their quality of work is excellent, and their pricing is always competitive. Midway through planning our driveway project, we learned from SDG&E that we would need to replace the main electrical line from our house to the street in order to upgrade our electrical panel. Our existing panel dated back to the 1980s and was quickly running out of capacity. We had hoped to upgrade the panel as part of the driveway project, but we did not anticipate the additional requirement to replace the electrical line to the street. Despite this unexpected complication from SDG&E, Zach and the Tru Landscape team worked closely with us to find creative solutions that allowed the project to move forward without significantly increasing the schedule or cost. Their flexibility, problem-solving, and willingness to work through unexpected challenges made a potentially stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend Tru Landscape and would gladly welcome any prospective customers to stop by and see their work firsthand. From our driveway to our pool and other projects around our home, we trust Zach and his team with our hard-earned money because we know they will deliver an outstanding finished product. Just as importantly, Zach is always willing to provide honest, trustworthy advice and guidance throughout every step of the process. read more

I just want to say thank you to TRU Landscaping team for their great work on my backyard. Zack gave us the best customer service and we loved how everything turn out. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for any update on their backyard. Their turn around time is great and so affordable. read more

The guys at Tru really did a great job with our back yard. We tried to do our due diligence during the pandemic market and Zack at Tru was the only one who was willing to meet with us, give us a price, and begin the job within the year. Zack and Tim are knowledgeable and willing to work with you to make your job look the way you want it. The crew they send out to take care of the job worked through the hottest months non-stop and they did it with a smile. JJ, Rujelio, Chapiz, and Freddy were always willing to answer questions and provide guidance to help ensure the best possible outcome. I really enjoyed having them do the work at my house and would highly recommend them. As the job progressed and setbacks arose, as there always is during major construction, Zach and the guys were in constant communication with me and other contractors to try and move along the process. Zack and Tim's communication was the key to keeping us happy. They exceeded our expectation and delivered on the end product. read more

We contacted TRU Landscape because the front of our house was in desperate need of a face lift. We weren't exactly sure what we wanted to do at the time. Luckily Zach had some ideas and suggestions to get things going. It was a breath of fresh air to have someone knowledgeable to help guide us through the process. Zach and the TRU crew were very professional, quick, clean and respectful. The end result of our little project turned out better than I ever imagined. I would definitely recommend TRU Landscape for anyone looking to get quality work done on their property. Next up will be a backyard and pool remodel by TRU! read more

I just want to thank the TRU Landscape Team for building us an amazing concrete fire feature to add to our backyard. This was once an unusable space in our backyard that has now been transformed to a great entertaining area for our guest. The concrete bench and landscaping we're a great addition as well. Allow it was a small project, it was done above expectations and very much appreciate the quality and attention to detail. Thanks again TRU Team. read more

Finding a reliable contractor hasn't been easy for us. We're glad we found Tru Landscaping. Our fence project was too much for the fence companies because it involves demo, building a small retaining wall, and constructing the fence on top of that. Designing it involved my nextdoor neighbor. Their bid was the best, they knew what they were doing, and they did it on time and on budget. read more

Absolutely thrilled to have worked with this company. Despite, constant maintenance our pool was contaminated with algae and the water had turned green for a while. Turns out we needed a new filter to get everything cleared up. Filters are expensive, but Zach and his crew gave us a good deal for both the filter and the installation and Ed couldn't be happier with the work they did. Definitely recommend for anyone needing quick, efficient, and professional services for their pool or their house improvements in general. Will be sharing with my friends. read more

Zach was able to take our vision and build on it to make our backyard a true oasis. Pricing was reasonable and his crew was very skilled. Work started fairly quickly after the getting a quote. We worked together to pick materials and plants. The crew cleaned up well and replanted grass. There were some things that needed patching afterwards but Zach aimed to ensure that we were satisfied. Very good customer service. read more

Zach and crew were very professional and gave suggestions along the way. We had leaks in our koi pond and jacuzzi and a crack in our pool. Zach redesigned our entire backyard since we had to rip up everything to repair the plumbing leaks. His crew made it look amazing. It's so beautiful now that several times a year people building new backyard designs come to get ideas from our yard. It's a timeless design, yet modern. I also love the turf and he worked with the best turf company. I haven't had any issues and it's been 2 years. His crew doesn't cut corners and very professional and on time. I will continue to refer Zach and always work with his company on any remodels, etc. read more

Zack and the team at Tru Landscspe are outstanding! Tru Landscspe turned my backyard from concrete and dirt into my own private mini resort oasis. From the initial design and quote to project completion, the team was professional, timely, honest, and a pleasure to work with. One thing I appreciated about Tru Landscspe was the constant communication and project updates. Additionally, the pay-as-you-go philosophy provided a sense of security that other companies did not provide. Further, once demolition and construction began, someone was working on the project every day, and in some cases on weekends, too. I also like the "al a carte" pricing and the ability to add and remove features. For example, in my initial design, I included a bbq island in the project. Unfortunately, due to material costs tripling post-pandemic, I was able to remove it from the project to stay on budget. The project employees (those who showed up every day) were amazing. They were trustworthy, dependable, and provided valuable input and project suggestions that improved the original designs. They took great pride in their work, and I felt they treated my home as if it was their own. I cannot say enough about how impressed I was with Tru Landscape and the quality of their work. I would highly recommend this company for any job big or small, and I look forward to working with them again on future designs at my home. read more

Update: they came back to finish up some work about a year later (waiting for HOA approval). And it looks great! Jacinto did a fantastic job and was very nice. A professional. Highly recommend this company! read more

Showed up late to give estimate, never received estimate on job. When called they said they were to busy. Well they lost out on a $100,000. Job. Would not nor would recommend this company. read more

Zach is very helpful and trusting, with great communication! Him and his team do an amazing job! Highly recommend

We couldn't have been happier with Zach and his team who did our complete backyard remodel and adding a new spa. As soon as we we met Zach, after interviewing a few companies, we knew we found the right team. He was honest, reliable and hardworking. His team showed up every day and were amazing and hardworking. I would HIGHLY recommend Tru Landscape Services and Zach for any of your projects!!! read more

These guys are the real-deal. Not only was their pricing fair and competitive, but they did an excellent job. They took a detailed sketch that I made and built an outdoor kitchen exactly to my specifications. Their crew was very professional and they were quick to remedy a couple minor fixes that need to be corrected at the end of the job. They made the process easy and the job was completed quicker than originally quoted. I will definitely be using their services in the future. Do yourself a favor and get a quote from them on your next project. read more

We have used TRU Landscape Services 3 separate times to remove trees, this last time they removed 8 trees. They started at 3:15pm and were done by 4:45pm. Every thing was left clean when they were done! Very pleased with their professionalism and fast work. read more

We are very pleased with the work that Tobi and his crew did for us. They installed a beautiful new wall, built a new gate, redid our sprinkler system and replaced old overgrown bamboo with ficus trees all in one week!! Their prices are extremely reasonable and they are professional, hard-working and most of all, do beautiful work. Thanks again Tobi and we highly recommend TRU landscape! read more

Avoid at all costs. They presented themselves as experienced landscapers but the more the did the less happy I became. Finally I said enough is enough. They put in a lighting system. When 3 bulbs burned out I was charged $225 for bulbs that I found out actually cost $3.95 each. When I asked is this a fair price I was told yes it was. $75 for something that costs $3.95 per bulb. Took all of 5 minutes to change the bulbs. I had a vegetable garden. They installed a battery operated sprinklers to water the garden and my fruit grove. I was promised they would maintain the system. Batteries failed and I lost my entire vegetable garden last year. They installed the same system for my citrus fruit grove. Wound up with stunted fruit due to a lack of water. They claimed it was the controller. $350 later, I noticed the other day my variegated striped pink lemon tree was wilted. I checked and found the batteries dead again. When I called and asked them to replace the batteries after they came for their weekly service I found it was not done. When I again called Tobi said he is a small company and it is not his problem. If it isn't his problem, whose is it? I needed tree trimming. His estimates were hundreds of dollars greater than other people I called. I asked them to trim vines that were damaging my roof. They didn't. Finally I did it myself. When I call Tobi all he does is like to argue. I asked him to fix a sprinkler. He replaced it, charged me for it, and when it broke again claimed I never asked him to fix it in the first place. Even after showing him the bill he claimed it was for something else. He would always bill every year for fertilizing and seeding but now that I am retired I watched the crew. They are a mow, blow, and go and never did the fertilizing or seeding. When I told him they never did the work and I wouldn't pay the next visit they fertilized but never did the seeding. The only thing Tobi seems to be good at is billing you and charging way more than an equivalent gardener. The wilted lemon tree was the last straw. Gardeners are a dime a dozen. After being told he would not take responsibility for anything I found another company who will. Good riddance. DO NOT USE TRU LANDSCAPING unless all you want is mediocre work and someone to argue with you. read more

Zach and his team did the cement, pavers and planters in our backyard. He was easy to work with, and his pricing was very competitive. The yard needed to be graded to improve drainage, and required new cement slabs as well as porcelain pavers and a deck. I did not want drains installed in either the cement slab or in the pavers, so it took careful planning to get the grading correct. The finished job is beautiful and there is no standing water on any of the surfaces. Zach was there each day, and his team finished the job ahead of schedule. They cleaned up each day and left the property presentable. I will be calling TRU Landscape if I have any needs in the future. read more

I have used and referred TRU Landscaping services many times over a twelve year span. His knowledge of plants, trees, lights, hardscape, landscape, & patio covers is second to none. His staff and field workers are well mannered, respectful to me as a client. We had him out to give us a quote for a backyard facelift. (Stamp concrete, dog run with gate, planter bed, plants, sod, & sprinkler system) He listened to our ideas and added his knowledge of what can really be done. We ironed out the details and we were ready to go. His staff called in for confirmation date and time to schedule. His crews came in on time all the time. Tobi was seen at the jobs supervising and returning our calls when we had questions. We've always felt like we got and paid for a top notch service. Wishing Tru Landscaping years of success!!! read more

I am truly amazed by the level of service I received from Tobi and everyone at TRU Landscaping Services. Over the last four months, I have spent countless hours in my amazing new backyard, but had a bit of a hiccup when the first rain of the season occurred. In addition to all of the aesthetic work that was done in our yard, Tobi and his team also installed a very thorough drainage system; however, water started backing up into the yard when the first substantial precipitation occurred. I immediately called Tru Landscaping and they were at my house within a week and corrected the issue at not additionally cost. While the price was right, I really appreciated that the issue was resolved in a no-fault manner. I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate the manner in which Tobi runs his business. read more

TRU Landscaping Services just trimmed my trees. He has done lawn service and even designed my landscape plan. This time Tobi personally trimmed my trees. He and his crew showed up on time, did a nice job on the trimming and left the yard very clean. I cannot be happier. Thank you Toby and team! read more

Started our complete backyard reno about 2 weeks ago. Tobi, Zach and Michelle are knowledgeable and easy to work with. There crews work fast and are so friendly. As far as quotes go there were the best price that matched their expertise. We plan to have them complete the rest of the remodels we have around around in the months to come. Will update with before/after pictures once we get to the end. read more

Revising our review: Sorry to say that after being loyal customers for several years, and after recommending their services many others - we have chosen to discontinue working with Tru Landscape, entirely. This is due to a lack of basic customer service. They are quick to provide estimates. But it is nearly impossible to get work scheduled. They do not answer or return our calls. We waited for two and a half months before we finally gave up and went with another company. This new company was also booked pretty far out, but responded promptly. They were able to schedule us in, in advance, which was all we asked. sorry for the negative but, it's the truth. read more

If you need landscaping services, Tobi is your guy! We just recently bought a home in O.C., and everything was right about it, except the landscaping... I'm talking dirt, hundred-year-old trees, and weeds so bad they looked like stalks of corn. But then we found Tobi. Aside from a quick quote and fast response to our inquiry, Tobi is the most honest and upfront contractor I have ever dealt with. He also explains each step of the process and helps you with planning any additional phases of a project you might have in mind. I especially like how available he is through phone and email, and the fact that he offers maintenance and upkeep of the landscaping through his company as well. We're done with Phase 1 of our landscaping, and can't wait 'til we save up for Tobi to guide us through Phase 2! read more

I used Tobi and Tru landscape on a backyard that was desperately in need of help. Tobi suggested getting sod installed and was very helpful with the design of the backyard. Thank all of you at Tru Landscape! read more

Great Service and Great Work I cant say enough about what a great company tru-landscape has been for me. They started by doing my landscape maintenance at my home. When we bought our house we had major issues with the grass and they worked it all out. I now have amazing green grass with virtually no weeds. Also they fixed all of our sprinklers so that my car does not get washed every night. Recently I have hired them to maintain our office property as well. We even have been referring them to some of our customers. Their crews work very fast, do great work, and don't mess around. They are consistent and friendly. If your looking for new landscaping contractor I would highly recommend them. read more

Tru Landscape went above and beyond with their tee removal service. From the first contact we have with the owner, Tobi, we had nothing but great communication, excellent response times and very professional services. Tobi's crew showed up on time each day and stayed late to complete the job in the time required. Tobi had the best estimate in town and he personally came to the house to observe the work in progress. The workers were courteous, extremely hard working and never stopped working except for lunch. We had shopped around for other estimates but nothing could beat his prices for tree removal. I would use Tru Landscape anytime in the future for all of our landscape services. Very happy with the quality of work highly recommend their services to anyone. Thanks Tru Landscape!!!! read more

We hired TRU to remodel our pool and we are so happy we did. It turned out beautiful! I especially love the water fall feature they built that cascades into the pool. The crew was always on time, courteous, and hard working. They were helpful in helping us pick out the stone and tile that blends so well and fits right in with the rest of the backyard. Our family now has a beautiful pool thanks to TRU! read more

I have to say that this was one of the best experiences I have had working with a construction organization ever! I have had 3 houses remodeled inside and out and have dealt with no less than 6 contractors and wow! TRU Landscape has really impressed my wife and I. They do quality work and helped us through the process every step of the way. Our backyardd remodel was a challenging one and Tobi and Zach helped with design, recommendations on what would and not work with our oddly shaped and graded backyard. Even though, we just spent a few hundred thousand dollars on a whole remodel of the house itself, they have made our backyard our favorite place to be. They and their staff are true professionals and I highly recommend their services. The whole experience was a great one! Mike A. - Villa Park, CA read more

What a great experience it was for us to work with Zach and TRU Landscape. We had purchased a home in Laguna Niguel and between the time we bought it and moved in, the previous owner had just let the landscaping go. The house was beautiful and both the larger front and backyards were dismal. To top if off, the house sits on a big corner lot in a beautiful community where every single home has breathing landscaping. I went to the 'next door' site to ask for recommendations and saw TRU's name several times with 5 star ratings so I called Zach. He came out, helped us figure out what would look best in our yard and the rest was a breeze. The crew was always on time, extremely professional and hardworking. They also built some beautiful retaining walls and did a special treatment to the concrete steps. In the middle of the project, Zach noticed that our newly redone pool seemed to have a leak (we would not have caught this) and sure enough, he was right. Wish we would have redone the pool with him! Now our neighbors walk by and make an effort to let us know how beautiful the yard looks. Zac and team get all of the credit. I would hire him over and over again. You will not be disappointed. I don't typically write reviews, but I think it's important to share great news about quality contractors. read more

If you want a great service from a great guy. Call Tru landscape services Honest and reliable

I am going to have to agree with the other review. Our time working with Tru Landscape was up and down. The finished product is ok but not what we were hoping for. Tobi was rarely seen and really only showed up when he needed payment. When we had issues with things Tobi would either say "well I knew this wasn't the best thing you could do" but he never offered us other options in the planning phase nor did he educate us on the reasons other options that may be a better choice... We originally had synthetic turn which Tobi's work crews destroyed it in the process of doing our back yard. So we had to replace the 1 year old synthetic turf (which was not cheap) with brand new grass. The problem is they did a poor job installing the grass. The seams are very visible and they did no pet backfill so the grass has already began smelling like pet urine. They also didn't do things the way we asked. We asked for floating benches and the built benches with visible braces, when the braces were installed crooked we asked Tobi to fix them and he said,"that would be really hard to do." So they never fixed them. We also asked Rojelio one of his workers to make sure the install an electrical line to our back corner of our yard (for a future water feature) prior to installing the grass but it never happen. So now we will not be able to put in a water feature. We also asked for a 3ft x 3ft firepit and they built a 4ft x 4ft firepit. It seems like they have a hard time listening to the client. The final product will do, but we don't feel it was up to par with the financial investment. We are a bit let down but are also apprehensive to have them come out and try to fix things because we think they did the best they could. Update: Well 8 or so months later, everything is holding up great! These guys work has stood the test of time, everything still looks brand new. I will use these guys again in the future. read more

Horrible organization they keep setting up appointments and dont show. The receptionist sayd she called me its the second time i sit at home change around my appointments and wait for a no show company. If they value there potential new costumers time this little I'm glad i find out this soon. There are to many black sheep in the contractor world and i will search for a differnet company that values there costumers. read more

Zach is the man! The work that TRU Landscape did in my backyard was amazing. They were quick, efficient and very affordable. I plan to do more work in the coming months with TRU. Their attention to detail and communication with us as customers were truly refreshing. Thanks again Zach and crew. See you soon for more awesome work!! read more

Thanks Tobi, your crew did a great job. We were taking advantage of the turf buyback program and wanted to remove 5000 square feet of grass and replace it with mulch and a crushed granite pathway. Tobi came out and bid the job at a fair price. I got a good feeling about him when we first met and knew I had chosen the right company for the job. The project was a bit overwhelming in scope and Tobi and crew were very flexible working out the details as we went. Some companies wanted us to pay them $2500 for a design fee before starting the project. Although in hindsight a design would have helped in some respect, I would much rather invest the money in the actual work. Having Tobi work through the issues as they came up allowed us to avoid this design fee. As the project went on extra things would come up that needed addressing. Little thing that I had not thought about would need to be done. I expected for all of these things to get charged. I was wrong. Tobi would just take care of it. That is good customer service! There were a couple of issues that came up at the end of the project that I wasn't happy with. Since I had already paid Tobi, I was afraid he was going to blow me off and not respond to me. Instead when I got a hold of him he told me he would quickly take care of the issues. The receptionist at the office was great to work with also. Thanks Leanne. The crew at the site did a good job cleaning up when they were done and were very friendly and professional. Thanks again TRU landscape. Job well done read more

Their crew was super, they did a terrific job on our front landscaping. Nick was the Lead on the job and he was wonderful, he set me at ease when there was a mix-up (just a misunderstanding) and he did it all while staying calm and respectful. I thanked him the next day and told him how I felt about how he handled that situation and that I wish more people where as professional as he was. Leanne was super sweet as well, almost felt like I have been dealing with family through out the whole experience. Yard looks great, we have been getting a lot of compliments for neighbors and passerby's. read more

If you are looking for honest amazing service and impeccable work, you've come the right place. We had an area in our back yard that was wasted space and overgrown. I really wanted to start a raised garden project and called Tobi to get some ideas. He came out, surveyed the area, made recommendations, and then implemented beyond my expectations. We enjoy fresh fruits and veggies daily now. His design has converted me into a green thumb. In addition to this project, they have also re-landscaped our hillside, which continually receives high praise from friends and family, and removed tall cypress trees from our yard. Each time service, timeliness, and product were stellar! Tobi and his team are thorough and thoughtful in their approach. I have high expectations for referrals and can pass his name on to family and friends without any hesitation. read more

I had a scheduled appointment with Tobi for today, Thursday, 3/9/17, at 10 AM. I rec'd a call at 9:39 AM and the receptionist said that Tobi decided to cancel the appointment entirely. She stated that he got a couple of big projects that would last thru August; thus, my appointment was cancelled and not even rescheduled. He didn't even have the guts to call me himself, instead he gave that duty to some poor receptionist. I am going to assume that he had landed the projects way before he decided to cancel my appointment, so why even schedule an appointment if you know that you are not going to honor it. This was a total waste of my time and I ended up losing 4 hours of vacation time. Furthermore, I was referred by one of his past customers. I will definitely be letting that customer know of what happened. read more

My wood porch was made with damaged wood and the workers left several chunks of concrete on my grass after constructing my driveway. The wood was not properly patched and painted and I was charged for plants that were not purchased and installed. Zach was less than sympathetic when I pointed out the poorly constructed porch and the mess left behind by the workers. read more
