With the amount of investment that you are making for these type of projects, there's no way you want to go for the lowest bidder because those folks are most likely unlicensed and uninsured, and worse, cut corners with your work. I know few people that got screwed by their contractor because they didn't finish their job or did such poor job that they had to hire another contractor, basically coughing up double the amount as originally planned. Don't let that happen to you! Enter Thomas aka "T" of Artisan Light & Landscape. Now, let me tell you that I did tremendous amount of research before I chose him. I'm crazy. I research the hell out of everything! After I researched about 30+ "reputable" contractors/lanscaping companies via Google, Yelp, CSLB, guys knocking on my door, left business cards and brochures at my door, and a neighbor referral to top it off, I narrowed my choices down to 5 and interviewed them in person. I'll tell you what. T was BY FAR not only the most knowledgeable, but he was super responsive and worked with me in designing a customized front yard that was a bit different than a lot of these "cookie cutter" designs that a lot of these contractors draw up, using the same materials from their previous jobs so they save money! We wanted our yard to look a bit different and small details meant a lot for us. T is very patient and super service-oriented, really focused to making sure that we were happy with everything at the end of the day. This type of service and care is absolutely rare in this industry. He also is a plant expert and will even provide you with a list of all the plants that will thrive in this climate. He also even offered to pickup our Plumeria tree from a nursery that was an hour away, so that we didn't have to. We wanted our design to be a little bit different and we accomplished that with T. Without any hesitation, I would recommend T for all of your landscaping needs. Oh, and he's also very reasonable with his pricing for the quality of work that he and his team delivers. He will not be the cheapest or the most expensive as some contractors are also out there to rip you off. After he is done with the project, during the last meeting, he will also provide you with all the instructions and suggestions to keep in mind to keep your yard in top shape! He even gave us a pruning lesson and even went out of his way to prune our out-of-control olive tree in the backyard for us. There are so much more stuff here and there that T delivered to make this experience an absolutely spectacular one, but this review is already getting too long and I'm getting tired of typing via phone, so just call him already! T is the man! T is also super detail-oriented, honest, hardworking, reliable, and just genuinely good guy. He and his team are the best! T - thanks for everything. You sure have gained a lifelong customer out of us. Before & After pics are attached.

In February 2020, we hired Artisan Light & Landscape to complete a major overhaul of our front and…read morebackyard at our home in Lake Elsinore. The job included designing the project, providing appropriate documents to our homeowners' association (which was approved in our first submission), removing the previous landscaping, and installing the new landscaping, including a new lighting scheme. From the start, the owner of Artisan Light and Landscape, Thomas, known as "T," as well as his employees were amazing and easy to work with. At all times, they were pleasant, kind, polite, respectful and accommodating. Simply put, working with T and Artisan was a great experience. All told, the project took about a month. What we especially liked about working with Artisan was the fact that T was onsite every day working with his employees. This made making small or large adjustments to our plans very easy. In fact, he would often make suggestions or ask whether we wanted something changed. More importantly, when we wanted a change, he bent over backwards to make it happen. When we had a concern, he would listen and respond accordingly. For example, at the start of the project, we told T that we are very particular. He responded that he, too, was particular. Importantly for us, he was true to his word - which we greatly appreciated. For example, we had recently installed new fencing. We told T that we were concerned that the gate might get damaged during the course of the project. To alleviate our concerns, he took the extra precaution and wrapped it with bubble wrap to protect it. We truly appreciated that he did that. We were also concerned about a new front door that we had recently purchased and installed. He took appropriate measures to protect the front door as well. Finally, we have a pool and T kept the dust and debris from the work out of the pool during the whole course of the project. As part of the project, we installed steps from the sidewalk to the front porch and replaced our existing front porch with pavers. T was very methodical in individually cutting and strategically placing each stone on both the steps and front porch. It was an exceptionally beautiful design. Because of his perfectionist nature and attention to detail, he made a change to the design on our porch which resulted in it being even better than we had ever anticipated. Equally important, he did not charge extra. In fact, throughout the project, he gave us a lot of little extras at no cost. He did not nickel and dime us. We appreciated that as well. T also helped us in other ways. For example, we were having issues with a stucco wall which was not part of the project. When we asked him if he knew someone who could fix the stucco, he found us someone who did a great job at a reasonable price. After the work was finished, T happily took the time to paint the wall for us at no charge. It was above and beyond what he needed to do. Let us also add that T and his employees cleaned up at the end of every day and left everything very tidy. We also appreciated that. You should also know that we trusted T and his employees completely. We felt very comfortable with them being on our property at all times. In sum, it was very obvious T has been doing this for a long time and knew what he was doing. We visualized what we wanted, but we never dreamed how beautiful our yard would be! While we can go on and on about how amazing his work is, let us just say that he greatly exceeded our expectations. We had to wait a while before he could start because T and his employees are so good at what they do and quite busy. But, given that T was on OUR job every day until it was finished, coupled with the amazing work that he and his employees did, we can assure you that the wait is completely worth it!

The crew did a fantastic job painting the exterior--every detail was handled with care, and they even completed some additional repairs along the way. The project stayed right on schedule, and throughout the process Jacinto was very responsive to any questions we had. At the end of the job, Jacinto walked us through the finished work to make sure everything was completed to a high standard. We've already received favorable comments from neighbors on how great the house looks.
