After three years of living with a backyard full of weeds and gopher holes, we finally decided to…read moregive up the hope of running into the "Yard Crashers" crew at our local home improvement store. We interviewed nearly ten potential landscape contractors for our backyard project. Segundo Collazos, the owner of Amazon's Landscaping, was recommended by a good friend who had hired Segundo and his crew to install irrigation and a flagstone pathway. When Segundo came out to discuss our project, he demonstrated that he has the benefit of many years of construction experience, doing both small and large projects. Our project was a moderately large residential project which involved extensive re-grading of the yard, installation of a French drain alongside the back of the house, construction of a retaining wall along a steep slope, installation and compaction of patio surfaces made of a mix of decomposed granite mixed with mortar, construction of a pergola, extensive irrigation installation, and replacement of a dead patch of lawn. Segundo showed us pictures of work he has done for private homes and for public areas such as some schools in Berkeley. The pictures showed a good attention to detail and his prices were competitive, plus we both had a good feeling about his level of professionalism, so we hired him. We have been very pleased with our decision to hire him for the following reasons... 1) He and his crew take pride in their work. Throughout the duration of the work, they did not take shortcuts. They included all materials and finishes that were agreed upon when we negotiated the work to be done. The quality of their work is very good. 2) When there was a need to make modifications, Segundo showed an ability to think creatively given our budget. For example, we have very high winds and the decomposed granite (DG) he put down as a patio surface was not staying in place initially. As a relatively loose material, it was also attaching to our shoes and tracking into the house, which would have been an annoying issue to deal with over the long term. For a minimal amount of additional expense, Segundo resolved the problem by digging up the patio again, mixing the DG with mortar, and re-compacting it. 3) It is often true that things take somewhat longer than expected with construction projects. In this case, there were two things that required some additional work. The first was the problem with the decomposed granite (DG) being too loose given the strong winds where we live. The second was the presence of large tree roots that were uncovered as he was re-grading the backyard. (We had paid a lot of money to two different tree and root removal companies in the past to remove all the roots from a big tree that used to be in the yard, and clearly in both cases, despite assurances that they had each removed all the roots within one foot of the surface, they did not do the job right). Segundo never complained about having to put in additional work - he showed professionalism and commitment to working on both issues until the problems were resolved. He removed the tree roots that needed to come out to get the surfaces level and he made the patio surface much stronger by mixing the DG with mortar. 4) Segundo has an extensive understanding of various plants and he actually cultivates many beautiful plants such as queen palms, sago palms, a variety of aromatic shrubs, and Japanese maples in his own backyard. He made good recommendations about plants that could work well for our space. He was flexible and took into account our preferences and needs in doing the initial planting of parts of the yard and generously included a gift of three of his own plants that we liked. He installed drip lines to each and every plant and tree that he put in the ground so that they will grow well when set to be watered by an automatic sprinkler timer. 5) Despite some additional challenges that came up during the course of the project, in the end, Segundo came in reasonably close to the budget we agreed to in advance and he guarantees the quality of his work. We do not expect problems in the future given his commitment to doing things the right way the first time, but we know that if there are problems, he will address them. This is the longest review I've submitted to Yelp and in the spirit of letting others know about the best companies to hire, I was inspired to relay information about this consistently positive experience with Segundo Collazos of Amazon's Landscaping. We are also attaching some pictures of the work he did because a picture is worth a thousand words. During a time when many contractors take shortcuts or fail to honor one's budget, he is a real find.

The sprinkler control panel did bot shut down the faulty sprinkler, so its likely a mechanical issue with the control valves in the backyard that failed open. I have no idea how to DIY this so I was lucky to find Ostwald. Yep, they are a 24/7 company and were able to comr out same day in a few hours. Darvin and his helper replaced my entire sprinkler control valve system, faulty sprinkler heads, and did some excavation to fix some leaky pipes. About 3 hours total - not a straightforward job since it also involved wiring and some backyard plumbing. I have an older house so they actually had to shutoff water to the house for a few hours. Not sure why the sprinkler system does not have a separate isolation valve. Maybe it does but its not obvious. Definitely recommend Ostwald Sprinkler Repair for quick turnarounds and responsive service, even on Sundays when most other sprinkler repair companies are closed.

I moved into my current home in 2022 - it had an existing irrigation system but I quickly realized…read morethat it was not in a usable state and for the first summer of living in my home spent hours a week watering plants and grass using a nose. In 2023 I vowed to myself that I would have a functioning irrigation system by the end of the rainy season/start of summer. I reached out and started getting quotes - one of them was from Green Sunsets (Daniel). He was prompt when he came by for the quote and it was clear that he had extensive knowledge of planning and setting up irrigation systems. He ended up quoting me for a). a new system vs. b). going in and troubleshooting the existing system which I appreciated. His quote was reasonable and he was patient and thorough with me when I had a few followup questions - I ended up moving forward with Daniel to do the work. He was able to get me on his calendar pretty quickly and the whole job ended up taking about 3-4 days. Daniel had a team of workers to help him - his team was hard working and I appreciate that Daniel was also present for all of the days and directly checked the new system as it was installed to verify that everyting was set up correctly. In addition to the irrigation work, my yard was also very overgrown - Daniel and his team also did great work for me at the same time in removing a broken trellis, removing pesky vines, and pulling out a bunch of overgrown plants and bushes. Fast forward one year to spring 2024. After the rainy season ended (and irrigation system needed to be used) I noticed that there were a few breaks/leaks in the tubing/lines. I reached out to Daniel to ask about and he came by to my home. My initial thought was that either thirsty squirrels or our gardener had broken a few of the lines. Daniel assessed and came to the same conclusion, but since it was a fairly small task offered to help fix at no charge (even though the leaks were caused by our gardener). Daniel's work left me as a very happy customer and I am happy to recommend Green Sunsets.
