A time to Finish our front Landscaping My hubby had a…read moreVision and started but wasn't able to complete it for me. Again, with much Prayers for God's Guidance, Directions we contacted for 3 Bids. One company with the initials of SL on Yelp great reviews was not a pleasant experience for us. They wanted Photos before they would even consider to bid. After much stress I did the photos, took the measurements as requested. I didn't expect them to come out to bid but they did and their bid was very high. I kept on praying and D&I Landscaping appeared and had great Yelp reviews. My initial reaction was Alyssa Torres was my first contact very personable and then we booked for Luis Blanco to come out to access our needs. No request for measurements or photos at all. Our job was easier only because my hubby knew what he wanted to have done and gave them his Vision and with their advice and help we tweaked a few things. Pavers is not an easy job especially when there's already Pavers installed, the guy I watched him and he was so methodical and kept placing Pavers down until he felt that he got the flow down and it was an amazing and challenging job but he did very well in my opinion. What we Love about D&I , is one of the owners Irving and their Designer Luis came over to meet with us. D&I doesn't charge for a Designer as some other companies do its part of their services. Irving, David, Luis and Alyssa and the entire Crew are so professional again this company was very Honest, Reputable, Hardworking and most of all they listen to our needs. One time our water spigot started leaking or spouting and we have this Project Group Text that they set up for us, all we do is text and within a few minutes David one of the owners showed up and turned it off while we were gone. They installed a water spigot that is easy for us to reach. They finished our Irrigation system along with installing a Rain Bird timer. It's hard to find a good honest company with Integrity but this company has it. Remember the company with the Initials SL think of S = a hard rock. Well... we had 3 bids which included backyard and front yard. When I called SL company and explained change of plans not doing the backyard she said oh, well that changes your front yard quote by 8 - 10% I was livid are you kidding me? No, it changes your price, the Lord quickly had me shut the door on this company bad feelings from the time I contacted them had to do measurements and photos. When the guy showed up,from SL, I told him you're young but you are passing on small jobs because you don't have time, let me tell you something passing on small job could lead you to something bigger, he was cordial and what was funny was after I went into the house he took measurements. When during our conversation I said how can you bid without taking measurements he replied because I've been doing this a long time really you're not even 40 Years old. D&I I contacted them to not include our backyard sent me a new quote penny for penny they just took off the back yard quote the front yard stayed the same. Honesty and Integrity goes a long way plus they don't charge us for a Porta Potty as SL did on our quote $250 for a Porta Potty folks she said unless you want the crew into your house to potty. I did let our Painters use our restroom which is fine they're in our house anyway and they were so professional and kind to us. To each its own. Looking for good Quality Work, a company with Honesty, Interity and a great ideas on your Landscaping this is the company and we had Carpenter Bees in one of our Post. David one of the owners worked really hard into the dark repairing it and he also placed the boulders back onto our neighbors lot for them. Irving drops by to check on the progress of our project. Who does all of these extras? D&I Landscaping give them a call for a quote no job too big or small for them. One of our neighbors hired them shortly after seeing them here at our house for over a week. Thank you Irving, David, Luis, Alyssa for completing Marvin's vision for him this is all done now for our Front. @d&I landscaping incorporated

Ten Stars! We just completed a major renovation of our…read morebackyard with SouthBay Landscape and Design, and we could not be more pleased. Our new backyard is gorgeous, and the details of our experience tell the story. We worked closely with Danny, the on-site supervisor, who is a top-notch professional. He knows his plants and hardscape, pays attention to every detail, and manages his crew with great efficiency. The crew worked as hard as any I've ever seen, and they did everything--digging out enormous tree roots, setting flagstone for our patio, installing irrigation and lighting, moving boulders--you name it. They showed up every day and even worked several Saturdays to get the job finished on time and before we had to travel. These guys were terrific, and I can't thank them enough for the tremendous effort they put into both the demolition and the complete recreation of our backyard. Marcus, the office manager, was also great to work with. He took us out to select our patio stone, river rock, and boulders, and was patient and generous with his time as we made decisions throughout the project. If you need a concern or question answered quickly, call the office: they respond right away! As we watched the project progress over the weeks, my husband and I often commented to each other on the quality of the work and the care being taken with every part of the job. We are grateful to every one of the men who worked in our yard and deeply appreciate their hard work, skill, and professionalism. I recommend SouthBay Landscape and Design enthusiastically and without reservation. They do top-quality work, and they were a pleasure to have at our home. One additional note: we also used the landscape designer they recommended, Dawn, and she was excellent. We are thrilled with the beautiful backyard they all helped create.

Green and rock came in with a very competitive bid, and I really appreciated the way they broke down every cost by line item so you could see where the money was being spent if changes needed to be made in the bid. Our final project included extensive soft and hardscape as well as the installation of second story decking, and a fire pit, and hot tub and fountain Kevin Monroy, the project manager, was awesome to work with. He was very professional very communicative, always responded quickly to text or emails. He was always very on top of things and moved the project along at a speed I never have experienced working with other contractors on projects. He clearly had the whole project thought through and always made sure that everything was ready to go for whatever the next step was. Anytime there were any questions or issues he was on top of it. He also has a very good eye for design and was creative and thought outside the box when it came to some decision-making during the process. In addition, he was always thinking ahead in order to prevent a potential issue if you could foresee it. He meshed very well with all of his workers and you could tell they had a lot of respect for him. I would highly recommend Green and Rock for any landscape project, no matter how little or big.

This company services the lavish landscaping at Santana Row (a business district that can just…read morethrow money away on landscaping without needing to check their invoices too carefully). My HOA manager included a bid from Jensen that caught my attention since their pricing seemed mid-range (an intentional trick that manipulative management companies are taught to nudge HOA boards to select certain vendors). However, they made the mistake of including one of my neighboring HOA property on their reference list. I contacted the reference and luckily he told me he was planning to quit Jensen since they padded their invoice with work they did not actually do and he caught them. The way Jensen handled the problem is what rubbed the reference the wrong way. They refused to admit that there was a mistake, but he took before and after pictures of the missing item, and after he reported his finding, they tried to sneakily add the item and pretend it was there all along. Large companies like Jensen are basically just marketing companies trying to suck the funds out of HOA boards that don't understand financial details and how to audit invoices. The leaders of these companies should be put in prison for fraudulently padding invoices with work they don't intend to see through. The only reason I gave Jensen more than 1 star is because they made my neighboring HOA property look better than New Image Landscaping did, which was the original builder choice of crooked landscaping company that just stole money for "mow and blow" services. But we found a couple of more honest companies who did better and at a more competitive rate. Basically you should stay away from marketing companies that hire former used-car-salespeople.

I have never left a review on Yelp before, but hopefully this will save someone from the same scam…read morethat I encountered. This contractor bid on our FEMA-financed job, a retaining wall and driveway that was failing after our floods of last year. 'Bobby', the contractor, was very personable, had a good price, I hired him. He asked for the total amount upfront, and since I trusted him and wasn't up on what the 'rules' were, I paid him in full for the project. It came in just under $45,000, which was all the money FEMA had allocated for it. His bid specified that the wall was to be 4' high X 140' long, and was to include ADS drain pipe, catch basins / storm drains, drain rock and filter fabric material. It also specified 2 X 12 boards fastened with heavy duty screws, nuts/bolts & hardware. It included pickup, hauling, delivery & disposal fees. BUT...what was on the specs and what we actually got were very different things. There are NO drainage rocks or system. NO catch basins/storm drains, or filter fabric. Heavy-duty screws were NOT used. The wall is NOT 140' long; it is approx. 125' long, leaving a large GAP at the top of my driveway without any wall. The wall just comes to a stop and there's a dirt slope at the top. Bobby's worker running the backhoe took more dirt than necessary off the existing wall...and instead of hauling that dirt away, I was told that it could be put on another slope below my front yard - I was told that slope may be failing and needed more dirt anyway. Too much dirt - yards and yards and YARDS of dirt - was dumped there, and was right up against my neighbors' fences. I asked that it be taken away from the fences, and the workers did take a few shovelfuls of dirt away, but not enough. Now the heavy rains have come again. The water that should have been drained through the retaining wall rocks and pipe is running down our driveway and pooling at the bottom. Every time my son and I brought up concerns, Bobby insisted that 'he never left a job undone' and that the job 'wasn't finished yet'. My son and I gave him a punch list of concerns, all of which were unfinished items that were in the original bid. We have yet to see Bobby back again, although we have called, texted and emailed asking that he correct the unfinished items. I would not recommend this contractor to ANYONE, EVER. He's a smooth talker, but cuts corners and apparently hopes to get by with doing so!!

Bobby said he did not need a permit for this job cuz wall was only 4ft high and his inability to know the laws on permits has earned us a red tag for not getting one. CA LAW says: A building permit is required for all new, replacement and or repaired retaining walls as defined by the California Building Code CBC 105.2 building 4 and the California Residential Code R105. 2 Building:3. If the wall is supporting a surcharge no matter the height, it will require a building permit. A separate grading permit application is required for all projects which involve grading of: EXCAVATIONS: 1. Exceeding 50 cubic yards, or 2. Two feet or more in depth, or 3. Creating cut slopes greater than 5 feet in height and steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical (3:1). FILLS: 1. Exceeding 50 cubic yards, or 2. More than 1 foot in depth, or 3. Placed on slopes steeper than 5 horizontal to 1 vertical (5:1), or 4. Obstructing a drainage course, or 5. Placed within 5 feet of any proposed structure, or 6. Structural support for a roadway, or 7. 11,001 square feet of graded area, or part of development that would create a total fill area greater than or equal to 11,001 square feet, or 8. In a riparian zone. CLEARING: 1. More than 11,000 square feet on slopes 5% or less, or 2. Any amount on slopes greater than 5%, or 3. Part of a common plan of development that would create a total clearing area greater than or equal to one acre. he says he knows the laws but anyone with a computer can look it up and he should not lie about knowing. the truth is he could not pull any permits because he does not have license or enough bond or workman comp. to insure any part of this job. and now we know why those are so important to have. his website says he is a master carpenter not true. satisfaction guarantee not true. tried giving him opportunity to make it right. no response to any requests from my mother she did not need this stress put on her. and I do not either. maybe he can fix a fence or plant a garden but i hope you are aware of the law now. stick to simple projects that you can legally complete. and at least give your real address on home advisor. every statement in my review is true i have all documents to prove it .this is not the first time he has breeched a contract that is public record as well. what if this was your mom? do not let it be! so as far as him getting upset and walking away from an unfinished job saying Ii threatened him or I giving any false info in my review.

One of the things that attracted us to TBG was the idea that they would take care of most of the process and help guide us through it. In the beginning, the communication and process were very strong. There was a lot of preparation with designers, architects, and other professionals, many of whom we were introduced to through TBG. Once construction began, we also had regular weekly or biweekly meetings onsite, which provided a lot of support and expertise that we genuinely appreciated. For roughly the first half of the project, we worked closely with Anton, who was very involved and hands-on. As the project progressed, there were some changes to the team and we worked with several different project managers. While the team remained responsive and eager to help through our WhatsApp group, we did have less day-to-day onsite involvement from some of the original team members. As a result, we found that we needed to be more involved in monitoring the details and progress ourselves as the project moved along. Ultimately, TBG completed our remodel in under a year and was able to deliver within the timeline we were working toward, which we really appreciated. There were definitely some stressful moments along the way, as there are with any large remodel, but the team continued to work through issues and keep the project moving forward. Nick, who became our project manager toward the end of the project, deserves a special mention. He was excellent & I only wished we worked with him sooner in the project vs towards the tailend. He would call me regularly just to check in, and even when I was frustrated or stressed about an issue, he remained calm, responsive, and focused on finding a solution. I really appreciated that approach it was what we needed to get to the finish line. Overall, I would recommend TBG, particularly if you're looking for a company that can help coordinate a large-scale remodel and provide access to a team of designers, architects, and construction professionals. It was a big project with its share of challenges, but we're ultimately happy to have completed the remodel and appreciate the many people at TBG who helped us get there.
