Even before construction began, their back office called just to welcome us to the family and ensure we had everything we needed. What really made the experience for us was how the project managers Adaya and Roni were both incredibly warm, personable, and genuinely great people to work with. When Adaya (who sold us the job) had to go out of town, the transition to Roni was completely seamless while Adaya still stayed in the loop remotely. It proved how stellar the whole team really is. The crew finished the work in just a few quick days and was so helpful. They were also deeply respectful regarding noise and clean-up, which we really appreciated with a newborn at home. We'll absolutely use them again!

I was forced to personally source and order core components like our medicine cabinet and faucet because the company failed to track or order them. More concerning are the regulatory issues. The project failed its first city inspection due to a mechanical code violation (venting exhaust straight into the attic). Furthermore, the contractor under-reported our $24,331 contract to the City of Imperial Beach on the permit valuation as only $3,786.75 (an 84% discrepancy). We have fulfilled 100% of our financial obligations to close out the contract, but an active investigation has been requested with the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB Complaint #S F 2025016199) regarding their permit reporting and management practices. Proceed with extreme caution.

I needed a new lawn and got my standard five bids for the job. Michael stood out for all of his…read moreinitial input on the options and then for the details of his bid. He was the only one who detailed every item involved in the bid, including update of irrigation. I've had issues in the past with bids for other projects that I assumed included the little details but didn't and then I had to pay extra. Michael's bid included every detail in writing that you would assume would be a part of a new lawn job and it was very reasonable. He also showed up on time for the initial appointment! His crew was great! Their work was very detailed and clean. The job was done within three days and all of the work area, including the driveway, was cleaned up. They even noted my falling-apart fence gate so Michael gave me a very reasonable quote and they did a great job fixing it for me. There were a lot of details for after-care and I've texted Michael multiple times to confirm. He texts back quickly and I never get the impression he's annoyed (I've sent a lot of texts!). I almost wish I had more yard renovations so that I could hire him again! I did discuss a whole-yard mulch job and will absolutely hire Michael when I'm ready for that. No more getting multiple bids for future yard renovations. I'll just call Michael.

Michael and his team worked hard to get our project done in time. Even though we were adding to our…read moredesign, Michael had solutions for us throughout our project. We had our design done through Armstrong Garden Center and I liked their design but the bids we were getting with their landscapers were a lot higher than Michael's bid. Also, he was very knowledgeable. He came to do our estimate and we were impressed with his explanation about how he was going to run our water and electrical. No one else who came to give a bid gave a good solution or just didn't know how to do that. So the combination of a good bid and confidence in his knowledge of landscaping made this an easy choice. But best of all, he and his crew delivered on everything that was in the design plus things we decided to add. Now we actually enjoy being in our garden. Thank you!

Of three firms I had out to quote the job, not only was New Age very competitive from a pricing standpoint, they were the only firm that actually listened to what I wanted and didn't try to upsell me.

Communication throughout was great and they worked hard to ensure the anticipated timeline was met. Would highly recommend!

We recently completed a full backyard renovation with New Age Design and Build, and the experience…read morewas seamless from start to finish. Communication & Management: Communication was a major strength. Our project manager, Jose, was proactive and consistently on top of every detail. We always knew what was happening next, and any questions were addressed quickly. The owners, Simon and Yotam, were also actively engaged and accessible, which added a lot of confidence throughout the process. Execution of Vision: I had a very specific vision for this project--from the retaining walls for our planters to the creation of a dedicated lounge area near the pool. They also flawlessly handled the technical drip irrigation plan and integrated landscape lighting. They executed every element with precision. The pool coping, tiling, and surfacing work was particularly excellent and has completely transformed the space. Quality & Reliability: They handled everything end-to-end, making the project straightforward and low-stress. They were flexible with changes and responsive to feedback while keeping the project moving. The quality of work is evident in the final result--everything looks polished, intentional, and thoughtfully executed. Bottom Line: New Age stands behind their work and takes ownership to ensure the outcome meets expectations. If you're looking for a reliable, communicative design-build team that produces high-quality results, I'd confidently recommend them.

We are so happy we were given Steve Letz' name and that we worked with him to develop our plans. We needed to have most of the hardscape redone (all new front walkways, driveway, back patio, flagstones, raised beds, trellises, and modification of a pony wall), along with almost all new plant installation, new irrigation, drainage, etc. Working with Steve was a very interactive process, with him listening to what we were thinking, and then sharing his thoughts on how to best accomplish our objectives. Steve gave us options for both hardscape (layout, materials, colors, etc.) and for plants. Once the plans were finalized, he provided suggestions for contractors (we would also highly recommend the contractor we worked with, Tim Vu of Springview Landscape). During the installation, Steve regularly visited, was always available to help when questions arose, confirmed plant placement, etc. In addition to being a very knowledgeable, talented landscape designer, Steve is a great person and was a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend Steve to anyone who needs help with landscape design. If you are considering working with Steve and would like to talk or see what we have done, please ask Steve to connect us.

This project with Lusso Design was easily the best experience I've had with a contractor - yes, it can be a positive experience! Their bid came in higher than their competitors, but in my experience you get what you pay for... the quality of their work and their professionalism were worth that price.

We interviewed three companies and ultimately chose Villanuevas Landscape for two main reasons. First, the owner, Andres, personally came to our home to assess the scope of the project and address our questions about adding gopher wire under the sod to mitigate the gopher issue. Second, his pricing was very reasonable compared to the other estimates we received. The entire project was completed in just two days. Andres actively managed the project from start to finish, and his crew worked efficiently while paying close attention to detail. They were respectful of our property throughout the process and made sure the work area was clean at the end of each day. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Villanuevas Landscape to anyone looking for quality landscaping work. We'll definitely be using them again for future projects!
