I had the pleasure of working with Newland Landscape. I will start by saying that it was a…read morefantastic experience. I hired Newland Landscape to do a complete hardscape/softscape "makeover" of the front of my home. First, when I started research on a landscaping company, out of all of them I contacted, Newland Landscape was the most responsive and easy to do business with. This really made the experience so much better, not having to chase contractors with inconsistent responses and questionable bids. Secondly, the bidding process and billing was transparent. This also made me comfortable. When additions to the project were identified, a change order with the associated charges was clearly provided and agreed to before any work was conducted. Finally, for the work done, the outcome was outstanding. Great value for the price! Newland Landscape worked with me adjust designs based on the actual work in progress. It was collaborative. The owner, Roland is extremely experienced and made great recommendations. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Called Barnyard Specialties to help us address a water issue we were having inside a storage room…read more The building is an old house that was converted into a commercial retail space. The concrete in the rear area was poured over the wall weep screed so water was slowing being absorbed into the wall and creating a mold situation inside. Micah from Barnyard met me onsite and he spent a lot more time than expected measuring and talking over options. Micah was very knowledagble and found creative ways to remedy the situation while still considering our budget. During the design conversation he made quick calls out to his subcontractors to verify costs and timing so everyone could jump in and tackle this project as a team. I've been a contractor in San Diego for 40 years, have run crews and worked along side many other long-time trade professionals. I was impressed with this initial meeting so much we hired Micah and his team at Barnyard the next morning and we couldn't have been happier. The pre-planning we did and coordination from the start made the entire process run smoothly to the end. We ended up removing all the existing concrete that was poured too high and sloped toward the building. Removed more than 8-tons of dirt. Sawcut the exiting slab tight to the wall for a good look which required removing 36" of stucco to get the big sawblade tight to the wall. Re-stuccoed the walls with a new weep screed and installed several new in-ground drains and down spout connections. big jobs, small jobs all add up to many small details, if someone pays attention to all the details you have a winner. If you're looking for a job to be completed right the first time and working with happy, pleasant people, look no further than Barnyard Specialties. Thank you Micah and your team for working through our small but tough situation.

They insisted I needed weekly maintenance despite the fact that I have been getting bimonthly service for over 20 years. They then came up with a monthly fee of $245!

We can't say enough good things about working with Brianah and her team at Rooted Landscape Design…read morefor our backyard project. An architectural designer friend recommended her, and we quickly discovered first-hand why. We had an esthetic in mind, a short wish-list, and a budget, but we've never done a project like this before. We needed a partner to transform our ideas into our dream backyard. Within a few days of coming out, Brianah presented a design that encapsulated our vision into something real and beautiful. She expanded on our good ideas and where our ambitions exceeded our budget, she showed us ways to get the same and maybe even better esthetic with much less demolition. We really appreciate how continually she checked in, walking the yard before and after each major project step, asking for continual feedback and tweaking the design to her and our suggestions along the way. Our backyard is now our oasis, a magical spot with a wild feel, continually changing, flowering, and growing. We love to see how the space changes through the year and how much our daughter enjoys exploring it. The only challenge is, when guests come over, we must coax them inside for dinner because the backyard is so pleasant and relaxing. We loved the experience of working the Briannah and Rooted Landscape Design. And, we love our backyard.

We will definitely be hiring them in the future.

I hired Socorro and crew for a rather large landscaping project in the Lantern District of Dana…read morePoint that included installing an irrigation system, a lighting system, removing some existing hardscaping, shoring up a retaining wall, building a planter, stucco work, removing an existing fence and installing a new one, and finally installing new plantings. The job took about 3 weeks and the final cost was close to the original estimate. I received about 4 bids prior to choosing Dana Pacific. Far and away, I knew immediately that Socorro was the most honest, knowledgeable and professional of all the companies I talked to. His estimate was in the middle--not the cheapest not the most expensive so it seemed fair and complete. He and the crew came every day from about 7:30-4:00 as long as it wasn't raining. They did a fantastic job. My yard looks better than I could have ever imagined. They were a pleasure to work with. Very friendly, always checking to see if I had questions, etc. He's followed up to see how everything is going, if I have any questions, and offered to come back out and check on everything and do a bit of weeding. I have another very large job I'm planning...removing my deck on the front of my house and building a new one, moving the front steps and building a new retaining wall. I already know that when I pull the trigger on this that I'll go straight ot Socorro.
