This review is way overdue, but better late than never. Vitoli redid our entire backyard, soup to nuts in 2022. This involved: adding a pool, putting in long retaining and block walls, completely rebuilding a cement deck and rails, adding drainage and irrigation, new pavers, grass and landscaping, and putting in a large pergola. Rob, Kyle, Oz, Gabi and everyone on the construction teams did an amazing job. Even before we settled on a builder, Vitoli stood out because everyone was upfront about what's possible, helped steer us away from our own bad ideas, and we appreciated their core expertise on outdoor landscaping/hardscaping/pool projects. Vitoli expertly managed to work with the various curveballs the city threw our way, and set our expectations appropriately. When construction started, everyone communicated effectively, and it really felt like a team effort when we would aim to solve some problem or adjust course because something unexpected came up (which is only inevitable on a large project). Proper drainage was extremely important to me, as the backyard had no drainage to speak of -- Rob and team were even more obsessive about this than me, and the results speak for themselves as the backyard had zero water issues after the extreme rainfall we had a few months ago. The thing I really appreciate about working with Vitoli is that they care about creating a long term relationship via mutual understanding and respect. One thing I dreaded before starting a project this size is having to argue with my builder over every little thing. I was happy that I didn't have to do any of that with Vitoli. We've been enjoying our new backyard - it's incredible how much of a change it is, how much the kids love the pool, and how many memories we can make with friends and family over an outdoor dinner. Subsequent to our backyard project, Vitoli was very helpful in quickly and efficiently fixing an drainage issue near the side of our house surfaced by the rains this season (unrelated to any backyard work Vitoli did previously). We look forward to working with Vitoli on future projects! read more

Vitoli Landscaping built a retaining wall and drainage system at my home and did an excellent job. The work was done right, the wall matches the stucco on the house, and everything looks clean and well thought out. Communication was solid the entire time. They were always available to answer questions and stayed on top of the project. I would use them again. read more

WORST COMPANY you could ever hope to find. If there were a reality show for the most incompetent construction company with the lowest ethical business practices, Vitoli would win by a landslide. Speaking of landslides, the infinity spa they built on our hill was done incorrectly so needs to be rebuilt so as to not send chlorinated water rushing down the mountain with each use. For now, we have to limit to two people despite its 10 person capacity. Yeah, and that's just the beginning. We had a $220,000 budget to build a dream yard in an estimated 6 months, but they built all of the retaining walls incorrectly so add an 18-month delay as we sorted out problems with permitting, during which time much of the existing part of the yard was damaged. They forgot to run a water line to the sink and ice maker in the outdoor kitchen rendering them useless, put the incorrectly built walls in the wrong place entirely, built a fence that fell down...for a more complete list please see attached photos. When we hired them, they promised a foreman would be on site at all times but in fact, they had a project manager on site only about 10% of the time and I'm being generous. We loved the workers and I would wake up early each morning to bake breakfast treats and brew coffee for them, however they would often come to us in confusion for direction without a foreman, but we had a language barrier even my best intentions couldn't overcome and grave mistakes were made. Each attempt at demanding said foreman only yielded increasingly angry calls from the owner, who went so far as to call us racists, sometimes with threats of leaving the project or suing us. We paid in full as projects were completed as per our contract, all $220K, but were not refunded for the many parts done incorrectly, and were instead made promises that simply weren't kept. With no less than $50K left to do, we finally kicked them off of our property when they started refusing to complete items -- we simply decided to remove the toxicity from our lives. Particularly evil was their pool equipment installer Bernardo who we caught in multiple lies and who was wont to covering his high level of incompetence by accusing us of "sabotaging our own project." Absolutely ludicrous, yes, but the owner went with it, I suppose it was easier than dealing with more wretched errors on their part. Meanwhile, if there was a corner that could be cut, they found it, and always at our expense. When we first were shut down by the county, I looked here on Yelp and to my dismay, found many negative reviews. They have since disappeared somehow so before writing my review, I reached out to YELP corporate, who assured me mine would remain. As I try to enjoy my unfinished dream yard, it occurs to me that all I can do at this point is protect as many people as I can from falling victim to companies such as Vitoli. Had I been smarter I would have asked for references or gone with a company recommended to me. Beware The Home Mag as they don't vet their advertisers at all, they don't even require proof that photos used are actually work done by said company, they need nothing but the ad copy and money to qualify and so I would argue that the companies that advertise in The Home Mag are ones whose work doesn't merit a good referral and so they advertise instead. Vitoli often graces their cover, which makes sense... The owner promised to fix it all, said he'd take care of us and we believed him to be sincere. But now all I have left is an unfinished yard and no funds to finish it. Shameful, but all true. I believe I know exactly what the response to this review will be, but I will endure it for the sake of helping others. Please note my other reviews, as they are a healthy mix of good and bad -- that is what I understand the purpose of Yelp to be. read more

We have met Aviv early February for a complete back yard remodel, Outdoor kitchen , Pavers , Irrigation, planting and planter walls. We couldn't be happier. Aviv sent a daily photo log of progress. All workers showed up daily on time and wearing uniform. The work was done on schedule. What we appreciated most was Aviv's availability and communication. Well deserved 5 stars read more

The house we moved into a year and a half ago had a mess of overgrown ivy and ugly or water intensive plants everywhere and a complicated hill side above a retaining wall. We had paid for the online landscape design from Yardzen and Vitoli was their preferred/vetted contractor in the area. We received a couple local quotes on the project and ultimately agreed that Vitoli seemed the most capable of delivering on the vision of our design. Vitoli gutted our entire landscape, removing tough oleander root balls and half dozen other tough shrubs on our steep hillside. They expertly executed the design, keeping us informed of timeline and checking in on site regularly. Aviv, our Project Manager, was very communicative throughout the entire project and helped us replace any unavailable materials for our design. We now have the exact outdoor space we dreamed of, with a beautiful selection of drought tolerant plants on drip irrigation. We opted to paint the concrete walkways and stucco walls, and install the wood feature ourselves to save a bit of money. That being said their friendly, considerate and hardworking team did ALL the hard work in some pretty intense heat. They were reliable and on time every morning, occasionally working late to keep the project on schedule. The pictures call out that walls and sidewalk/patio were painted by us so you don't judge Vitoli on the paint quality . We can't wait for our plants to grow in, and will recommend Vitoli to everyone in need of a full service landscape construction company! read more

Where to begin... Like most I spent weeks researching and reading reviews on local hardscape/landscape businesses. I was able to narrow my searching down to 4. After quotes and interviewing the contractors I ended up going with Vitoli for the work I needed done. My first impressions were rock solid based off Ozzy seeing my vision, for creating a more modern space while having room for entertainment and playing area for my kids. Once I was onboard there was zero pressure and pricing for what was needed was by far better than other competitors, especially since Vitoli could do everything without farming out to subcontractors. I had my own 3rd design I put together but when their team showed me a virtual layout with their VR headset I was blown away. How cool is that!!! Once demo started I knew I was in it all the way. Rob's team was amazing. On time every day, cleaned up afterwards and even answered some of my annoying questions. I will say I'm a bit of a perfectionist and love learning things so most of the time I would just watch and admire the hard work Rob's team was doing. As we started to get down to paver ordering I started to look at the layout and the plans Vitoli put together based off their rendering. I made some modifications prior to paver and turf ordering so I wanted to run it by Rob. After our conversation Rob came out to assess and was totally cool with my changes. Not many companies will allow you to make changes post plans without a charge. What's most impressive was me being told the project would take 3 weeks! My friends, family and myself was like impossible. Vitoli literally completed in 3 weeks. I'm talking gazebo demo, 15 thousand pounds of brick, 2 tree removals, new retaining wall, footer pouring for my pergola "yes I designed stained and assembled with help from Robs team getting the post up", and new pavers. To sum it up these guys are freaking awesome and it's more of a relationship/ friendship with Rob and his team since they started. I'm truly sad to see them go. Thank you Rob and the Vitoli team for making us the happiest family in Moorpark. Funny Fact about Rob. I occasionally send him images of random trees just to see if he can name them. He always gets them right and knows where to plant , how much water, drought tolerant, year they bloom. No joke he is the horticulture whisperer. Check out the before and after pics! read more

My husband and I didn't think twice when it come to build our pool and knew right away Vitoli will be the only company to build it. they meet all of our requests, did an amazing job with the pool decking pavers, they install the drain properly (after having it damaged by other plumber), the landscaping around was at the exact way we want it, the company owner Rob provided us with lots of knowledge and respectfully service, all the workers follow COVID rules, and the job was done less then a month and a half! highly recommended for all your outdoor projects! read more

We recently used Vitoli for the makeover of our front yard. It's a small space that we wanted to look neat and inviting. Vitoli was able to come out quickly for an estimate. Oshri walked me through the plans and discussed what would be best for our small space that is also on a slope. Once we approved, they started the project right away. Oshri and the rest of the team were always available and quick to respond whenever I had a question or concern, which was very much appreciated. Jonathan came by frequently to check to make sure things were happening as they should building wise and Oshri came by often to make sure everything was happening correctly design wise. They are a great team working to make sure it looks great and it is sound construction. Adrian was efficient with his team everyday and everyone working was so polite. We are so pleased we went with Vitoli for both design, execution and ease of working with the whole team. Not only would I recommend them, but we will be using them again for our next projects! read more

I am extremely happy with Vitoli. I first met with Oz Tzalalihin in May of 2023. I immediately felt comfortable and trusted him to do a great job. Unfortunately, I didn't jump right away. However, Oz continued to check in on me to see if I was doing ok with the mud damage in my yard. Because of his caring and concern, I called him back to complete the work we had discussed. Within a week, not only was the contract signed but the work was completed professionally and beautifully. Oz listened to me, heard my concerns and found the best solutions. I honestly and completely recommend Oz and the Vitoli company for all of your landscaping needs! read more

I've recommended them to family and friends-and that's a ringing endorsement in my book! read more

Like most homeowners in our area, I'd grown tired of the impact the drought and mandated water restrictions had on the appearance of my front yard. Since it is a relatively large area (2200+ square feet), the ugly, hay-like grass was impossible to ignore any longer. After reading their many excellent reviews, I contacted Vitoli Landscaping for an estimate. My intention was to get at least a few companies to submit bids but there was an immediate connection with Aviv, the representative who evaluated the situation and I was completely convinced that I didn't need to contact anyone else. We moved seamlessly from proposal to 3-D design to completion of the project quickly and efficiently. The project went precisely as promised and Aviv and his team were outstanding to deal with throughout. Their expertise and willingness to accommodate the many minor changes that come with any project of this size were impressive. No detail was too small for Aviv's attention and we could not be happier with the result. It looks great! I recommend Vitoli Landscaping and Aviv in particular without hesitation or reservation. read more

Vitoli was hired to do hardscape planting, and irrigation in 2022. The landscape plan, which was part of the contract, called for a two semi-dwarf espalier fruit trees trained on wire between two posts. The trees did not come espalier and there were numerous other problems with the planting. We agreed to a account credit settlement and Vitoli was to insert the posts and run the wire. I would arrange to have the trees pruned and trained to the wires. I was told numerous times that a crew would come out to insert the posts and run the wires. I finally gave up. Now two years later, I find that the trees are not semi-dwarf but regular height trees which will not fit in the small space allotted. I called Rob Litman, the owner and he said he would have a crew come out in a couple of days and replace the trees. They did not show up and I again called Rod. He said that the nursery had delivered the wrong trees and it would have to be resolved with the nursery. After about a month, I sent Rob an email explaining that the dispute between the nursery and Vitoli was irrelevant. I listed many of the problems that had occurred with the planting 2 years ago. I asked that Vitoli remove the trees and plant the espaliered trees along with the posts and wires as per contract. He immediately called me, yelled at me over the phone, said he was going to have his attorney go after me He ranted and raved for about 10 minutes - I could not get a word in edgewise. Someone with his temperament and demeanor should never ever be in business. read more

Wanted to turn our side yard to become more of a useful storage space and replace a pedestrian gate. Met with Aviv who was very knowledgeable, knew exactly what needed to be done and even sparked ideas that we never would have thought of. Vitoli came at a reasonable price and the crews & service was above and beyond from past experience with contractors. Overall had a great experience with Vitoli and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of doing anything in their backyard read more

We cannot say enough good things about Rob, Jonathan, Oz and the entire Vitoli team. This is the pool and landscaping contractor you are looking for. Like many people, stuck at home during 2020, we decided it was time to renovate our ugly yard, which dated back to the 1960's, to build a pool and create a space for entertaining. We signed up with one contractor and quickly realized it was a mistake. We called Vitoli out of an advertisement and met with the team the next day. They provided references, which we checked. The design team listened to our goals and developed a world class design that perfectly fit the unique shape of our yard and our budget. They put together an incredible VR presentation that allowed us to visualize every detail of our new yard. The Vitoli team advertises themselves as hillside specialists and our yard challenged them in many ways; a steep unstable hillside, a narrow triangular shaped yard, and literally decades of dirt and deep established palm and pine roots. Of course, we faced obstacles such as permitting delays from the City and issues obtaining materials on time from vendors, but the Vitoli team kept us informed and were always available to answer our questions. Vitoli's pricing was also transparent throughout the entire process and we always knew exactly where we were with our progress payments. There were never any pricing surprises and the only changes were design changes we requested. One thing that absolutely sets Vitoli apart is that they use their own employees for most of the work, ensuring quality and accountability. The crew was on time every day and always cleaned up. We absolutely love our new yard and will be recommending Vitoli to anyone looking for a pool and landscaping contractor. read more

Fantastic transformation of my backyard. I needed more usable outside space and Vitolli created a great plan to push back the hillside, build a retaining wall and create a beautiful patio with a pergola and fire pit. Outside Los Angeles living at its best. They coordinated the landscaping and lighting and the end result is beautiful. They were easy to work with, on time and on budget! They made a big project manageable and easy to live through. Thank you ! read more

Rob did an amazing job! His entire crew has been professional and listened to our needs. His enthusiasm is infectious and his creativity is beyond belief! He totally transformed the back yard. It is now an awesome sanctuary. We started with Rob and Kevin shortly after our pool was finished. We told them what we wanted and Rob created a great plan. We made minor adjustments as we went along and Rob and Kevin were supportive and responsive. I really liked when Rob took us to the nursery. It was extremely helpful to walk around the nursery and see and discuss all the plants and pick what we wanted in the design. We have a couple minor items remaining to finalize the work and should be done in a week. I would definitely recommend him. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this company. Every great service starts with outstanding people and Vitoli has several. Rob Littman's passion for landscape design and execution shines through. We would watch him dealing with his staff and you could tell he is not only talented, but compassionate. Communication us key for me when dealing with any service industry. Stephany always kept us well informed on precisely when team members were coming. If something came up, she reached out to notify you of changes. read more

I am so pleased with Vitoli Builders! After spending time researching and reaching out to other vendors we decided to give it a shot. Ricardo and his team were amazing. It was a collaborative process all the way though to the end. They helped with submitting HOA requirements. Ricardo was active in all areas of the process. He managed his team well and the final turn out was amazing. His team were very detailed oriented and precise. They listened though the proceeds and made changes as nEeded. Overall I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking too landscape. read more

we called Vitoli to get a qoute for a new pool and some landscaping work done in one of our properties . Jonathan came out and gave an estimate, it wasn't the cheapest but i will give him credit for being the most detailed and specific one . My wife and I decided to go with Jonathan after meeting a few other contractors ,some gave lower bids . but I am a person who believes that you have to pay for quality and trusting your contractor is a priority. Jonathan managed the project from day one and was on top of all our demands and requests ,he managed to finish the project in time for us to be able to rent the property like we planned Thank You for your hard work Jonathan and Vitoli we will definitely use you again read more

The team at Vitoli was a pleasure to work with. They completed my backyard landscaping with drainage, flagstone, grass, sprinkler and drip irrigation, shrubs, plants, fruit trees and river rock paths. Aviv, our project manager was very patient, listened well and always responded to calls and texts quickly. All the adjustments and changes I made throughout the process Aviv took in stride. He was a pleasure to work with. The Vitoli team was respectful, cleaned-up after each day and timely. The team was also very knowledgeable helping to perfect and adjust plans. it has been months since the project was completed and all is well. Vitoli is an investment but worth it. read more

We had Vitoli come out to help us widen the driveway apron and redo our parkway area. They seemed extremely knowledgeable, had great ideas with landscaping, and gave an great price on the initial estimate. I would have been happy to hire them, but they never followed up. We were suppose to meet again to finalize, but they called to cancel, and said they'd e-mail me the contract and never did. They've since reached out to me to ensure they'll make sure to follow up on all communications, so falling through the cracks won't happen again. read more

Vitoli Landscaping recently finished a complete backyard renovation at my new home, and the finished product is exactly what I imagined. Rob, Jordan and the rest of the team worked hard to meet my budget, and complete our job within an extremely tight deadline (6 weeks in total, right up until the day we had our 2nd child!). My project was large in scale, and included the following: 1) Demolition of the entire backyard including grading and drainage 2) New landscaping and drip lines throughout the entire backyard. Rob helped preserve our 7 fruit trees and added his personal touch and expertise to new plant additions 2) Pavers were installed to create a L-shaped patio 3) Putting green installed (my personal favorite) 4) Fire pit area was built and installed 5) Installation and consultation for pre-fabricated grill 6) In-ground gas lines were run to fire pit and grill 5) In-ground lighting through landscaping 6) Artificial Turf for remaining backyard area The scale of my job could have been a personal headache and painful experience, but it was the opposite. Jordan lead the project for my home, and he provided great customer service and management. Rob (Owner) was also very involved, and continues to follow up my job (2-3 months since completion). If there was an issue during the job, or after, Rob has been quick to address any concerns and adjust the work accordingly. I can confidently say that Vitoli is all about their clients happiness. As an example, during one of Rob's post-completion visits, he added turf to a small side yard that I forgot about during the main job at no additional cost. Vitoli was recommended to me by a family member, and I am so happy that I found them. If you are looking to work with genuine, good people, Vitoli is the easy choice. read more

I would highly recommend Vitoli Landscape Design! My wife and I worked with Shay Ben and Rob Litman and they completely transformed our front yard. When we moved in, we knew we had a huge project on our hands. The yard consisted of a steep unshaped hill, full of dirt, trash and dead vegetation. It also needed an entirely new irrigation system. We couldn't even imagine how to begin landscaping it. After listening to our wants and needs, Shay and his team came up with a great design for our yard. Once we settled on the design and a timeframe for the work to commence, we went with Rob to the nursery to look at plants and flowers for the yard. I know this was, by far, my wife's favorite day of the entire process! Neither of us expected us to have such a fun time choosing our plants. Rob makes it a great experience. He's so knowledgeable and personable and he really catered to both our design aesthetics. The work was completed on the timetable Shay laid out and the plants look incredible. They also put a terrace on the top of our yard that that we love to entertain on. Shay and Rob were incredibly professional, reliable, easy to work with and we couldn't be happier with our yard. read more

My husband called Vitoli after receiving an old-school flyer in the mail so we were skeptical at the start. Kevin initially came out to discuss our needs, which included redoing our front and back landscaping, installing turf in the front and back yards, redoing the landscaping on the hill next to the pool, removal of a large, problematic tree, and building a new patio. As promised, Kevin contacted us to schedule a follow up appointment a few days later, during which he presented us with a bound proposal, call it a menu of options, which he walked through with us. We had an opportunity to review the cost of each option and select what fit into our budget. After speaking with a few references (all glowing), we made the decision to go with Vitoli. One week later, Kevin, Ricardo and Danielle came to discuss design details and put together a 3D story board of the plan for our project, which they did not charge extra for. As people who do not have an eye for design, my husband and I appreciated being able to visualize what the plan was. We also had the ability to brainstorm with the Vitoli team on the location and size of the new patio and turf areas during this phase. One of the most fun experiences was visiting the nursery with Rob. He is exactly what you want in your landscape designer. He knows everything about every type of plant and flower and emphasized the importance of creating a landscape that we would love, without compromising the fundamentals of design. He looked for our reaction to textures, colors and fragrances to truly understand what would make us happy. We also expressed an interest in building an herb garden for our 10-year-old son, an idea that Rob embraced and involved our son in. Kevin, Ricardo, Miguel and his crew arrived on schedule to start the demolition and worked continuously for two weeks to create a fabulous yard that we've been enjoying every day since. They went above and beyond in terms of professionalism, partnering, respect, and design. Rob and Kevin are exceptional communicators and were responsive, collaborative, and punctual and wanted to make sure we were happy and satisfied clients. It's not often that you can say that you have a positive experience with any vendor from start to finish, but in this case, we can. They were detailed and upfront about costs, no surprises along the way, extremely communicative, hardworking, friendly and clearly love what they do. read more

We highly recommend the Vitoli team! They were competitive, but more importantly on-time every step of the process. They brought unique design ideas to the table and were receptive to our desires. The 3D images they provided were extremely helpful when making our design choices. Our front yard went from something we were not proud of to our neighbors commenting on how it was the best looking yard in the neighborhood. You can't go wrong with Vitoli! read more

Sad to say that although Kevin came out and was professional and courteous, the quote I received was much higher than expected and when I asked to go ahead with part of the work I was told there is a 4K minimum. The works I wanted done was just under 4K and I was told they could probably do the work during their quiet season (which didnt exactly make me feel like a valuable client but I understood ). I was told they would get in contact in December and I've heard nothing. Really disappointed. I've since heard from the owner who was very apologetic and sincere and explained how Kevin is no longer with the company and this must have fallen through the cracks. Will update review again once he comes over to quote again himself. read more

So so happy with my backyard remodeling. First, I'll start by saying that the entire project was a pleasure- from start to end. The receptionist, who I forget her name was kind and polite during both of my phone calls, she was willing to reschedule my meeting, and answered all my questions. Aviv showed up for the meeting on time, and after going through all the process details with me and clarify I understood everything (look, type of plants, direction of the sun, etc.) We than met again at the nursery, we selected flowers together, some herbs and much more. He was so kind with my boys, let them touch and smell some of the plants, explained which was what, how and when it grows and was just amazing with them. The next day, he returned with all of the supplies, upgrade our irrigation system, plant new fruit trees, flowers and succulents.Aviv, Migule and the entire Vitoli's crew were polite, knowledgeable and kept all COVID safety rules (social distance, mask on at every moment, hand sanitizer on site.). I am very pleased with their work and can't wait for our next project together (pool and bbq area, by the end of summer). read more

Hi first of all I'm going to start out by saying I shouldn't have been quick with a 1 star. But I am adding photos because I have been accused of only writing negative reviews. A right what is truthful about an experience my husband is the one who dealt with you and that is why you do not have me in record. You did not have customer service from the first phone call which should've been a red flag but we proceeded to at least get a quote. Someone who knows the company did say you bought it probably from the Italian who owned it before. Instead of making false accusations you could've actually contacted me and try to resolve why I felt so strongly to write a review. Again we did not have a good experience. read more

Vitoli Landscape Design - 5 star pizza place review - Landscape Architects or Designers Near Me - Calabasas, California

After the drought and limited landscape watering in 2022 we lost our front lawn and side hill ground cover. We hired Rob and Vitoli Builders who are hillside specialists. We were impressed with Rob's enthusiasm, knowledge, and attention to customer communication. He came up with a plan for us and the project was executed in a reasonable time frame. He communicated with us daily and had the project monitored three times daily to ensure things were going to plan or to address any needs . A couple of months out we are in the waiting phase as the new landscaping grows and we are still in communication with Vitoli to ensure that the new landscaping successfully establishes. Rob is passionate about beautiful and healthy landscaping and we know he will stay with us over the duration. We recommend Vitoli Landscaping. read more

The best decision that we could have made was to hire Vitoli to build our pool and completely transform our backyard. From the first meeting with Rob and his team until the completion of the project, every interaction was clear, friendly and professional. Our backyard was nothing but dirt and weeds with an overgrowth of ivy. Vitoli worked with my budget to help me get everything I wanted in a reasonable timeline. Once we were able to clear the permits, they started the second week of April and we were in the pool swimming by Memorial Day. They communicated with me throughout the entire project and found solutions to every problem that came up. Now my backyard has a 36x20 pool with a Baja and a jacuzzi, a putting green, a platform with a pergola and a seating area in the patio. We cannot be happier with our yard and we highly recommend Vitoli. You won't regret it! read more

Going into months of the pandemic, my family knew that we would need to take our tiny hillside yard to something more functional. By the time we had gone through all of the exercises of meeting different contractors and build design firms, it was obvious to me that we needed to go with a build design firm with demonstrated success and experience. Through our research, we also came to the conclusion that to work with the successful companies, you need a big project. Especially when contractors are in such high demand like they are these days. And most importantly, the company needed to understand "design", not just say that they design for engineering purposes. Midway through the pandemic, we decided that the best company that we could find (realize that I am a Google search professional) was Vitoli. The fact that I chose Vitoli, meant that I did not have to worry about the extreme scenarios that I was aware of in the marketplace such as contractors ghosting jobs early on, taking off with deposits, etc.... My comfort and the assurance of working with the pros, made the experience more fun (of course with some challenges), and allowed us to build the backyard of our dreams. The end result is a true resort-like experience versus our previous small concrete slab. See the pictures attached, and I'm sure that this is enough to compel anybody considering doing a true remodel to just call Vitoli as soon as possible and forget the other guys :) read more

Had a fantastic experience working with Vitoli Builders! Professionalism at every step. They scheduled an in-person estimate and confirmed the meeting the day before. Rob showed up right on time, with a smile on his face, happy to come do a quote. He was very knowledgeable did a great job communicating the different steps. He was also super collaborative in trying different materials in our planning stages. You can tell he's passionate about landscaping! After this initial consult, I got other quotes that came in higher and with lesser customer service. I approved the Vitoli quote. His team dropped off different turf and paver options and took the time to review dimensions. His PM, Ricardo, was also very profesionnal and ready to help. One thing that stands out for every person I interacted with at Vitoli is that they were attentive to my needs, concerns and budget. For the actual project, the materials and team showed up on time and well prepared. They worked diligently and paid close attention to details. The pavers were cut properly, the cement and lines were well drawn and the turf sections were carefully merged with not apparent seems. The plants were also nice and healthy with a great smell. The only tiny thing they forgot was to install a metal drain on the cement section instead of a plastic one. Rob right away assured me this will be replaced and it just goes to show how dedicated they are to customer experience. All in all, I would strongly recommend. I know I look forward to working with Vitoli again on future projects! read more

They did a good job on one side of our backyard. Not on the other! There idea of a dry riverbed was way different than what we conveyed to them! read more

Rob and his crew did an amazing job on our backyard! We had a retaining wall that was almost falling apart due to an overgrowing cluster of palm trees, and just an all around ugly back yard with broken concrete, dry grass, and lots of garbage and debris. After a new retaining wall was put in, grass, and new concrete was poured our family can finally enjoy our backyard! Rob is very knowledgable, professional, fair, and always kept us in the loop in regards to our project. I highly recommend Vitoli Landscaping! read more
