Mr. Takenaka came to my home to did a thorough inspection of the system and his recommendation was to keep the system because it was basically intact and it would increase the value of the home when I sell it.

I've had Landscaping work done a few times since I've been a homeowner (23) years and I can tell…read moreyou that it's very hard to find a landscaping company that follows through, communicates regularly, has reasonable prices, and actually does excellent work. Luckily, I came across Cary who is the owner of Takenaka Landscaping who actually does all of the things I just mentioned. On my most recent dealing with Cary, he was very prompt when responding, came out right away to assess my yard, and took care of my yard issues (leaking sprinkler/plant issues) right away. I had contacted several other companies just to price around and I ran into all kinds of issues with them. Some didn't call back, some wanted to charge me just to give me an estimate, and one company that was going to fix my leaking sprinkler cancelled on me the day that they were supposed to come out for the job. In the end, Cary promptly addressed all of my yard issues. I highly recommend Takenaka Landscaping if you're looking for a landscape company!

****TERRIBLE****** Consistently disappointing. The team…read morefrequently failed to show up as scheduled, without any communication--no phone calls or messages to inform us of delays or cancellations. This lack of reliability made it difficult to feel that our property was a priority. Additionally, the level of care provided was minimal, limited primarily to basic mowing and blowing. When we raised concerns about our grass not growing properly, there was little to no guidance or transparency on how to improve its condition. Due to these ongoing issues, we will not be using Regan's services again, as reliability and communication are essential to us. On a positive note, we have since worked with Alex at Only Yards, and the difference has been exceptional. Their team is dependable, consistently arrives as scheduled, and demonstrates a genuine commitment to both customer service and the overall health and maintenance of our yard.

Jeffrey is super reliable, always showing up as promised and completing projects on schedule. His work is truly great, transforming our spaces with meticulous detail and a clear expertise in horticulture and design. Whether it's routine maintenance or a large-scale project, he is really great at what he does. On top of the outstanding quality, his prices are fair, delivering immense value for the level of craftsmanship and reliability he brings. Frankly, we are almost keeping this a secret! He is so excellent that we almost don't want to recommend him to anyone else, just to make sure he doesn't get completely booked out and always has time for our properties! If you need fantastic landscaping, hire Jeffrey now.

The promises keep coming and somethings get done until you tell him that you will not pay for…read moreanything else until the job is completed. My contract started on January 17 2026 with a promise of 17 days from start of project to end of project. It is now September and my project is still not finished. To start, Shaun was to submit the package to Gentry Homeowners association to install synthetic grass at my home, but did not explain the details of the work on how it was to drain. The package was disapproved on February 9th. At that time I told Shaun not to do any work on my property (except the tree removal) until the homeowners association approved the work. So he did the tree removal and without approval from me or the homeowners association, dug up the grass in by backyard and attempted to level the area. Even though this was not to my liking at the time we still wanted the service to continue so I wrote and resubmitted the synthetic grass installation package to the homeowners association with a full explanation of service Design Build Landscape had promised me and also gave a copy of the letter to Shaun in good faith letting him know how to submit the package to the homeowners association in the future. Gentry Homeowners Association approved the work on March 23, 2026. I then told Shaun that we were approved to continue the work. Also by this time I had already paid Design Build Landscape about 20,000 of the 40,000 agreed to in the contract. As time went on, Shaun kept asking for things and money for my project and before I knew it I was purchasing items that Design Build Landscape should have been purchasing for this project along with giving Shaun other payments for his work. After reviewing my receipts and checks I see that I paid Design Build landscape over 38,000 of the 40,000 promised in the contract. Once I brought that to his attention and told hime that I would not pay him anymore until the project is completed the work also slowed to a crawl. When workers did show up it was mostly late arrivals and rushed work. Weeks went by with no-one showing up. Instead of making good on the work he began to make excuses like the weather, family issues etc. In short, when the money runs out so does he and you will not hear from him anymore because he ignores your text or has blocked your calls. His team left behind a lot of equipment and trash in my yard. Since hiring Design Build Landscape I have nothing but heart ache with his company. He might do other people right if it is a quick job like a patio or a driveway, but not any big jobs. Like I said early he talks a good game until the money runs out and so does he. The photos were taken on September 2nd 2026 and this is how he left my yard. I guess now that I will clean my own yard and get rid of his Junk. Does anyone want a good tile saw, maybe a few cinder blocks?

He was responsive, honest and timely when I asked for an estimate and gave me a great quote that was in my budget. I have a small yard but it's been neglected - weeds, dead grass and plants. I also had to remove my avocado tree that was getting too big and we were afraid it would soon ruin our foundation. Mark and his coworker came in the morning, and within minutes, the tree was removed to be replanted at a friend's house. By lunchtime, my plants were trimmed, weeds gone, pavers taken out and new weed barrier laid under and leveled, and old grass removed. And within hours, my potted hibiscuses were planted in the ground and new sheets of grass were laid. One day's work transformed from hot mess to a beautiful, manicured yard! We were so pleased that we are having Mark maintain and upkeep our yard so it can stay beautiful! Highly recommend Mark for any landscaping job!

It took them 2 days to demolish the 6+inch thick of concrete and haul it away. They did an awesome job and I felt bad because I had no clue how thick the concrete was. After the removal they prepared the dirt and installed irrigation sprinklers to our existing sprinkler system. They also upgraded our ancient sprinkler box to digital which is so much easier to program. They installed El Yoro Zoysia in 1 day and all I can say, it changed the whole view of my front area. If you're looking for someone to landscape, care and maintain, I'd recommend Dan and his crew. We just wanted the removal of the concrete, add sprinklers and grass and we were going to do the other areas. Dan had some great ideas and suggestions for us to explore!
