Eh. Small business. Seemed honest. I knew it was a gamble…read morewith only 24 reviews on here. 2025: Got a bid for job 1. Price was so good asked for bid for job 2. Agreed to proceed with one bid at a time. Glad I did that. BTW bids came in far lower than other competitors. Now I know why. I'm not going to bash the experience with detail, but here's something to note: Skeleton crew. The regular down to earth blue collar workers they were had me trusting them but I found myself constantly asking questions as after the contract was signed, communication slowed drastically. I thought more detail would be discussed. Think this particular job was out of their lane and, to me, they left it incomplete/did the bare minimum/ couldn't wait to get outta there. They also were random in their work schedule. Sometimes there for half a day then you wouldn't see em for days. It took at least double the time projected. Thought maybe it could be a fluke as there were some noticeable issues with the business which seemed out of their control, so asked for some updates to job 1 bid. I was assured a bid would be revised/sent, but ironically, I cut the final check for the job completed, then I was ghosted. Tried to give this business benefit of the doubt, but they constantly showed red flags. Hey if you like letting a businesses take full control of your project, its basic and you don't really care about detail, this is a business for you. A lot of the photos show very basic 101 jobs completed on here. Hope everyone learns something from my experience.

I had this company come out last summer. He built a couple of retaining walls and performed that…read morework beautifully. However the landscape portion was terrible. First of many problems: the watering controller he installed did not work properly from the get-go. I told Pete about it and requested a receipt for the controller (it was the end of the job so he wasn't planning to return). Instead he came out and fiddled with the controller and said it works fine. He left and it still didn't water according to the settings so he came out again (after the job was completed) and fiddled some more, saying again there was nothing wrong with the controller. He never gave me a receipt, so as the same problem kept occurring, I finally had to replace it. Because Pete never gave me a receipt (I suspect he used a controller he had sitting around, and not a new one for my job, however he told me it was "professional grade" and cost $300), I couldn't return it and had to spend more money on the new controller. Very irritating. Irrigation system and planting: I asked him to add on to the existing drip irrigation system and bring water to several fruit trees and numerous new shrubs I requested that he put in. However he installed 1 gal. drippers to everything, whether it was a large existing fruit tree or a new small shrub. Fruit trees require a lot more water...Pete told me he was an arborist so he should know the right amount of water fruit trees need. Now I'm having to switch out these drippers myself to something that provides adequate water. Again not something I should have to be doing. I requested all cascading rosemary shrubs in numerous locations. He installed half cascading rosemary and half something else (I don't know the name...he didn't provide any tags). My bad for not saying something at the time, as I thought the additional color might be pretty. Well, the other plants he selected COMPLETELY took over the area covering the slower growing cascading rosemary. Now I have to tear some of those plants out and put them elsewhere, so that I can see the plants I requested in the first place. Some of the new plants he put in began to die after a while so I looked a little closer to figure out why. Half the root system was above ground...the hole was not dug nearly deep enough! I tried to correct this but unfortunately the plants were too far gone so my effort was not in time. Finally, I asked Pete to shore up some fence posts that were lagging. It was a picket fence surrounding a small patch of my front yard. I asked him to go around and check each post. I am too trusting...I assumed he had done that. However, he only shored up 4 fence posts and not the posts on either side of the gate, the ones that needed attention the most. Overall, I am pretty unhappy with the job this company did for me. I read other reviews stating how detail oriented Pete was for them...He did not pay attention to the details of my landscaping project, and I'm not sure he dealt honorably with me about the controller problem. I would not recommend him/his company.

It's renovation, and a new marquee, been a primary focal point goal of the PTC for years. Once we were able to (finally) raise the funds needed to purchase a new marquee, the surrounding landscape became an even more significant goal! Enter Hughes Landscape. Not only did Ryan provide us with a complete, thorough and very fair bid, he also provided us with a stellar team to make it happen in short order! Hughes Landscape arrived as agreed and, in spite of the 100+ degree heat, completed the project early. Communication is clearly a top priority for them, too.... Ryan kept us informed of all activities along the way. Not once was there an excuse for anything and even more importantly, our project didn't get bumped for one of greater value. The end result is better than expected and beautifully sets off the new marquee. Ryan continues to monitor the stability of the new trees, plants and sod to ensure their wellbeing. Hughes Landscape, lead by Ryan Hughes and his team, did an amazing job! My only wish now is to have them do more around the school... what a difference they make! All in good time! All in good time!

I had also installed a large automatic gate. At that point, we were ready to hire a landscape company. We knew we wanted decorative rock to surround the house (we live in a very high fire risk area), and we wanted grass surrounding the pool and patios to keep dust down and create a microclimate. (We have a well, and have good water pressure.). We found Santana Landscape Hardscape online and read all of the reviews, which were very good. I reached out to the owner, David, who was great on the phone and clearly knowledgeable. He came out to walk the property with me and my wife a few days later, understood what we wanted, and made excellent suggestions. The scope of work was pretty extensive. They had to grade, finalize drainage, install a large irrigation system, install approx. 40 yards of decorative rock, install metal landscape borders, place boulders, finish out the area surrounding a raised bed with stepping stones, build steps into a slope, and install fence posts. They just finished the job yesterday (it took about 8 days). We are extremely happy with everything David and his crew did. They showed up at about 7:30 a.m. every morning, were hardworking, cleaned up after themselves each day, answered any and all questions we had along the way, and basically did everything they could to make sure we were happy with each days' progress and the quality of the work (which was excellent). We were extremely impressed, and have already asked David to come back for the second phase of our project, which is putting in the grass. We highly recommend David and Santana Landscape Hardscape.
