Exceptional Quality, Speed, and Professionalism! We recently completed a full remodel of our front and back yards with James and his incredible crew (Teo, Marcos, Silvino, and Jesús), and the results are absolutely stunning. Our project was extensive, involving hardscaping, landscaping, fence work, lighting, and an outdoor sink. After vetting 8-9 different quotes, James's proposal stood out for being highly competitive without sacrificing high-quality specs. The execution more than matched the pitch. James is wonderful to work with--never pushy and truly dedicated to his craft. He has completed a ton of projects in the area and had an extensive portfolio of example pictures / videos to show us. This was incredibly helpful in narrowing down our choices for pavers and materials to match our vision. He was on-site with the crew every single day, which made communication seamless. You only have to explain your vision once; he "just gets it," remembers the details, and executes perfectly. The crew is easily the most hardworking and efficient team we have ever seen. Rain or shine, they were here from ~7:30 AM to ~4:30 PM, six (sometimes 6.5!) days a week. The progress they made daily was remarkable, and they actually finished the project sooner than expected. Beyond their speed, they were incredibly respectful of our home and thoughtful about not disrupting our neighbors. A special shout-out to Teo, the on-site foreman; he is exceptionally skilled and handled every technical challenge with expertise. We have already received countless compliments from friends and neighbors. If you want a team that is fast, reliable, and produces beautiful work, we highly recommend Action Landscaping! read more

Jimmy and his crew are very professional and reasonable. They did our front yard and driveway 2 years back and it still looks brand new. We get compliment from every single visitor. Highly recommended. read more

5 star business with a lot of expertise. This team did the irrigation system on the front of my house, flawlessly. They covered a very large area, and beat my lowest bid by a fair amount. They brought a professional trencher machine - and worked the entire day to make my home look perfect! 5 stars!! I highly recommend them! read more

tl;dr Action Landscaping is the only team I'd recommend for any landscaping project after their incredible work on our 1800 sq ft yard and driveway, and 360 sq ft garage floor. They completed the project in just sixteen days, delivering exceptional quality and service. I was initially frustrated with subpar interactions from Black Diamond and Kosche, but I was thrilled to find Action Landscaping through internal recommendations from several fellow Googlers. From the outset, my experience with Action Landscaping was exceptional. From the beginning, my experience was outstanding. James, the owner, met with me in person to understand my specific needs. Despite the overhead costing him, James insists on the practice of meeting in person because he can see the place. Don't be fooled by their team size or a small number of public Yelp reviews (Yelp's fault); James and his team have a reputation for high-quality work and have completed projects for many upscale homes in the Bay Area. He is knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely committed to customer satisfaction. He listened attentively to our project goals and provided expert guidance as if it was his own home. We promptly received the estimates with several options, mainly for cost comparison and we were determined to get on James's calendar right away. Over the course of two weeks, we have seen the quality work of James, Teo and his team first hand. Their attention to detail and quality of workmanship were outstanding to ensure the work's longevity. They went above and beyond, addressing even the smallest requests and exceeding our expectations so much so we made all the payments ahead of schedule. It's hard to detail everything of the sixteen days, but we are so thankful and proud of our decision to have James and his reliable team help us. They are great people. It didn't stop there. My next door neighbors, despite the dust, noise and inconvenience to them, had only positive things to say about the team. They worked hard. They were polite, courteous and at times watched out for traffic for them as the neighbors pulled out from the driveways. Do it once and do it right. We would hire James and his team in a heartbeat. They are always welcomed at my place. read more

I'm super satisfied on the project for James and his crews. He explained with me very detailed and let me understand each process and why. And he is fantastic to help anytime on lots of extra request/ideas. He listens to what I need and provides valuable suggestions from professional perspectives. I quoted several contractors but chose him finally. Believe I made the right choice. Also his team also very nice and friendly to do what I need, no matter how hard and how much extra efforts it takes. I would definitely recommend others to help on new projects. read more

I requested a concrete removal job on yelp. James contacted me right away and set up a site visit for a more accurate quote. James and his professional team came and completed the project to specs and on the agreed upon date and at the quoted price. They did a great job even in poor weather and cleaned up at the end. I look forward to using this company in the future. read more

I just completed landscaping work with James and his crew.It has been one of the best experience overall - Right from our first meetup to estimation, final estimates, start of work to end of work. James kept me updated throughout this process and was committed to response even when he had a personal emergency to take care of. This goes a long way to show his commitment. The same commitment was demonstrated by his crew from Day 1 till the end day. Never a day went where I saw the crew slacking, there was no special need to supervise as James was there with them. Never had an impression that things were going south. Never seemed there was any compromise with what was agreed to. As a result the work was completed on schedule, with the quality expected. Everything around was left clean and dirt free. Lastly should commend James for his honesty, dedication to do the best to his ability and overall a genuineness in his work. I wish him and his crew all the best in their business. He certainly deserves it. Cheers Rahul read more

These guys did such an amazing job, I hired them for a second task! Originally, they helped me replace parts of my sidewalk. They had the best response via Yelp and had a competitive price. They were able to see me the next weekend. They were very friendly and professional. Once I could see the quality of their work, I showed them a sand path that I wanted to cover. They gave me a quote on site and showed up the next weekend to complete the 2nd job. They are now my go to for future landscaping projects, both big and small! read more

We went to small claims court that is true. The Judge did not rule in your favor. The Judge made you pay us $3,000.00 in which we paid you. The Judge did warn you that, you did not have a license to do the job that's over $500.00 and that you lead us to believe that you had one. When it comes to such a situation such as ours, there is no win win. Hopefully you have a license now, for if you got caught, that would not be a pretty sight. By the way, Thumbtack dropped you from their website and paid us under their warranty policy. Apparently you just don't get it. read more

Jimmy and his team replaced two lawns for us, fixed a brick patio and put on new flagstone patio in another part of the backyard. Works is of good quality, and I particularly liked that Jimmy was here every day, not just supervising but doing most of the work. There were no delays, and whatever fixes we requested afterwards were done too quite fast. Will use Action Landscaping again when yard work is needed. read more

We needed landscape work on our house and we received a wide variety of quotes - a dozen gave me crazy expensive quotes and were non-committal when it came to scheduling. James came to our house, provided a fair quote and provided very useful advice. He and his team arrived on time and completed the work over two consecutive days as promised. We identified a few more items and they came back a couple days later to finish up those extras. The work was professionally done with a solid walk-through of what was done. I appreciated their attention detail and their open to adjust the work as needed. I would highly recommend Action Landscaping and will be using their maintenance service. read more

I have moved in my places for a while, but really haven't done much with our yard. Over time it accumulated fallen branch and dried plants. We really haven't spent much time outside.

The price is actually really reasonable and unlike some other service, is exactly as what was quoted. We have asked James about idea on what we should grow to make our space more enjoyable.
