The landscaping is still to come, but I'm posting pictures of the handsome stairs. I researched four different companies and went with C&H because Kacen's bid was reasonable and his Can Do attitude was so positive. The end result was perfect. I am so happy that I hired C&H Gardens and Hardscape. Thank you, Kacen! -Jim O'Connell (property owner)

Kacen and his team were absolute professionals. We were in a frustrating situation with palm trees…read morethat kept dying, and despite trying multiple experts, nothing worked. It felt like we were out of options. But from the moment I connected with Kacen, I could tell he truly knew his craft. He shared that he's been around landscaping since he was eight years old, learning from his father who's been in the business for many years. The moment he stepped onto our property, he immediately gave us insights--not just about our palm trees, but about so many aspects of our house and garden. His expertise and professionalism were obvious. What stood out most is that Kacen is incredibly generous with his time. He feels like a good friend or neighbor--diligent, trustworthy, and someone who honors his word. He under-promises and over-delivers, going above and beyond in both service and value. He also provided helpful, no-cost recommendations and even referred us to other reliable experts for things outside his scope. In a field where it's easy to come across people who overcharge or lack true knowledge, Kacen stands out. He's someone I'll continue working with long-term, and I know anyone else would be lucky to work with him too. Absolutely grateful for his help!

I called Install It Direct to inquire about turf maintenance. I spoke with Jonathan, the…read moreOperations Manager. He explained to me that they only provide this service to clients that they have provided turf for. He then went on to refer me to two landscape companies near my home where we could purchase the infill and the broom to do the maintenance ourselves. He willingly spent about ten minutes helping me, and was so friendly and nice. When we are ready to have more landscape work done, I will definitely be calling Install It Direct.

I am posting this update as a severe safety warning to anyone considering Installing Direct. Since…read moremy initial review, a catastrophic and life-threatening incident has occurred. The fire pit installed by this company exploded into my girlfriend's face. We had an independent professional company come out to inspect the unit and the gas line. Their findings were shocking: the gas connection was completely loose. This negligence allowed gas to build up inside the fire pit structure, which caused it to explode upon ignition. Because of the physical injuries sustained and the absolute gross negligence regarding a gas installation, we are now taking this company to litigation. If you value the safety of your home and your family, stay far away from this business. A "loose connection" on a gas line is not just a mistake--it is a deadly hazard. We are currently in the process of legal action to hold them accountable for the damage and trauma they have caused. Zero stars. Avoid at all costs.

After meeting with several high-pressure landscaping companies, working with Dan was a breath of fresh air. Once the project started, we met Hector, the foreman, along with Tito and Marcos. They are hardworking, genuine people who clearly enjoy what they do. Over the two-week project they removed heavy roots, took down a large tree, prepared the ground, installed plants, created a beautiful rock garden, added a sprinkler system and lighting, and repaired and painted the fences. Our backyard was transformed from a messy "jungle" into a neat, beautiful oasis. One thing that really stood out: after the job was technically finished, Dan and his crew came back early the next morning to reposition two 300-plus-pound rocks so everything was exactly how we wanted it. Thank you, Dan, Hector, Tito, and Marcos.

He was prompt in responding and came out to see how he could improve our outdoor space. We were interested in pavers, synthetic grass, lighting, and possibly irrigation. Ronni's experience showed right away as he had a vision and offered design suggestions. His price included everything and as we made small changes during the job, he was true to his quote. Once the job started, Pompeyo the foreman lead the crew and installed a beautiful makeover of our yard.
