    I researched landscapers in my area for about 6 months before finding Calvine Landscape. I was looking for the right person to bring my landscaping plan to life. I initially had Calvine work on the side of my house adding concrete, turf, irrigation, and palms. The project ran very smooth and Calvine and his team were very quick and efficient. I was so happy with the work he had done on the side of the house, that very shortly after I pulled the trigger with Calvine on a front yard makeover. We updated our driveway adding a secondary carport area and turned a raggedy front yard and island dead space into something with a clean and modern feel. The result was amazing! Calvine not only brought my landscaping project to life, he didn't cut any corners in doing so and performed honest and quality work. I would even say, he was very accepting and tolerable of last minute tweaks and changes to the project as it was moving along. I greatly appreciated his flexibility in the direction of the final result. The project was completed fast and under the original lead time Calvine had provided. I would recommend Calvine Landscape to anyone looking for above and beyond landscaping work.

    Calvin remodeled our front and backyards and did a fantastic job. He and the team: - releveled yards and installed drainage (yay, no more flooding!) - installed a beautiful horizontal fence, with cabling to enable backyard views - put in a new paver driveway, with patience while we waited for our backordered pavers - put in turf in the front, and sod in the back - installed a smart lighting system - installed a smart irrigation system, with drip lines I can't recommend Calvin enough. He was patient when we were indecisive, and helped us figure out our options so we could make informed decisions. He's also incredibly responsive over email and text, which made me feel a little less anxious about such a big project. Thank you Calvin and Santiago! (Note, pics are about a year old because this review is a bit late. I just remembered I forgot to post a review, because I damaged a part of the irrigation system and texted Calvin for replacement information so I could buy it online. He quickly responded that he has a spare part, and that he'd bring it over the next day! How's that for customer service?!)

    Calvine did a great job. He was very professional from the project bud phase all the way through to the end. He delivered exactly what we were asking for and within the timeframe he gave. I highly recommend him. We will be calling him up again for more work soon!

    Calvine remodeled our back and front yard to include: a retainer wall, lattice fence, shrubs, concrete driveway extensions, sprinkler system, paver repair, and sod installation. He listened to everything we wanted in our yard and really took on board our priority of making our dogs happy. I had never expected to work with a contractor that was so kind, attentive, and communicative. Aside from the incredible hospitality, his craftsmanship was superb. There were many small gestures throughout that showed us he truly cares about his work. We had run into an issue with the city which didn't allow us to have our fence up to 6' as originally planned, and Calvine swept in with the idea of adding shrubs to give us more privacy. We are truly impressed with the time he took to ensure the details of the project were what we wanted and he communicated with us at each crossroad. This was a huge project, and we felt completely taken care of in his hands. Overall, we are so happy with our new yard, fence, and sprinkler system and recommend Calvine for any landscape project big or small.

    Calvin and his guys did an amazing job on our backyard! Like many others, we were recommended to Calvin by another landscape company that only does big projects over $30K. Calvin is easy to talk to, communicates very well and above all makes sure you are satisfied every step of the way. His guys are friendly, efficient and work very hard. They always cleaned up after themselves too. Whenever we had an issue with something, Calvin was quick to resolve it. We are very happy with our new backyard and highly recommend this landscape company!

    We had a fantastic experience with Calvin, who redid our front yard. We were referred to him by another company that only does very large jobs. I met with 5 different companies before going with Calvin. He was the most responsive and easiest to communicate with from the estimate through the completion of the project. We really appreciated how flexible and communicative he was with any questions and as the details developed and changed. He saved us money by picking up some of the nearby materials, was on time every morning, was organized and followed our plan, got our project done on time and within budget. He also cleaned up each day and did a thorough job of cleaning--leaving our home looking better than before. We have worked with a lot of contractors, this being our 4th house, and Calvin is the best communicator I have ever worked with.

    I had my front yard remodeled by Calvin and i am super happy with how it came out. I've been getting lots of compliments for my front yard from my neighbors; everyone loves it. Few of my neighbors had even contacted him for their projects. Calvin was very professional. He was very knowledgeable, very nice person and had an amazing skills in what he does. He recommended what was best for the look as well as the quality. His price was very reasonable. Thanks again for an amazing front yard, Calvin!!! We will definitely contact you again for our backyard when we are ready. If you are looking for a contractor, I highly recommend Calvin. He is the one!!

    Prep for stamped concrete

    Look no further in your search for a trusted, quality, great value landscape company! Here's our experience and all the reasons why Calvin was all we were looking for and more. We contacted 5 of the top landscape companies on a Saturday so we could pick the one that we felt would be best for us. 1 company wasn't accepting any new jobs. Another never returned our call. A larger company returned our call on Saturday and said they don't take jobs under $20,000 and referred us to Calvin. I appreciated their up front honesty and called Calvin. He returned our call that day and said he could make time to come by on Sunday if that worked for us. The other two companies called us early the following week and we pushed off calling them back because we had such a good first experience with Calvin that we wanted to see what his quote came in at. He spent almost an hour with us on Sunday going over options for our front yard. We were tearing out everything and starting from scratch. We even wanted to tear out our walkway and existing driveway. After a week, Calvin emailed us with his quote. We were pleasantly surprised as it was very fair - we knew this from previous work we've had done on our fixer upper over the last decade. The next step was to get referrals from Calvin. He supplied us with 4, one of which was a current job he was working on. Pricing isn't everything. The quality is more important to us. Get it done right the first time! So we spent an afternoon driving around San Diego checking out the work he's recently done (similar jobs as well). We checked them all out. We inspected the quality. Were the plants still alive? Was the watering system hidden and clean? Was the weed barrier still tucked in and hidden? Were there a bunch of weeds? How was the concrete he poured? Cracked? How did the yards look overall? Did they have a natural feel to them? What kind of patterns were in the concrete? Did the yard have proper drainage? Same with the concrete? Etc. Having a fixer upper, we are accustomed to looking at the little things to see the true quality of work. Some things can be hidden, but looking carefully you can see short cuts taken, etc. We stopped by one of his current jobs, on Saturday, and were surprised to see him there as well. The very nice homeowner welcomed us in and couldn't stop glowing about how great it is working with Calvin. They had a much larger project than us, and you could see the attention to detail. Time and time again our research was telling us this was the company to use. We picked up the phone later that day and called Calvin, and asked him when he could start. We picked the first available date. We never ended up contacting any of the other companies because there was no reason to. The start date ended up being a couple days before a vacation we already had planned, and we still chose to proceed anyway. This was a bit uncomfortable for us as we like to see the work progress so we can alter or add as we feel fit. Calvin said no problem. He'd send us daily updates with photos. He ended up sending us daily video updates! It was awesome! During our previous meetings we did a very good job hashing out the details and it was apparent Calvin knew his stuff. When we left for Belize, the demo work was mostly done. When we returned all of the stamped concrete was poured, the fence built, all the major irrigation parts in place, and all the suggested plants in the suggested places. He kept us updated the entire time. When he and his team were almost finished, I noticed a couple small things I either didn't do a good job explaining or were just missed by both of us. I mentioned them to Calvin and he immediately took care of them, no questions asked. Every job of this scope will have things that are missed or will want to be added or changed. How the company responds will tell you exactly who there are. And, once again, Calvin was the best overall company we've ever worked with in the last decade as we've been piecing together our fixer upper. Our fixer upper no longer looks like one with our brand new front yard that is beyond our expectations and at an incredibly great value! Thank you Calvin!

    Backyard remodel in Rancho Penasquitos.
    Brandon H.

    Calvin did a great job remodeling our backyard in Rancho Penasquitos. We shopped around a lot beforehand for prices and met with various contractors. Out of the all people we met, Calvin came across as being very professional, hard-working, and honest. His pricing is very reasonable, and the project came within budget and on-time. He explains the process very well throughout. I would recommend him to family and friends. We will use him again next year for the front yard most likely!

    We hired Calvin to help us with our front yard landscaping. He helped us build front patio wall, pour concrete to create a wide front patio space, build a retaining wall, reinstall our backyard fence, redo all the sprinkler systems, and plant all of our green landscape! It was quite a grand project! Throughout the process, Calvin and his team were great! They were very attentive and patient to our preferences and suggestions. He was an efficient contractor who came to work everyday and finished the entire project in about 3 weeks! The end product was beautiful!

    Calvin was the low bid of eight prospective contractors for a project that we had designed in Kensington. We had rough plans and Calvin was able to enhance them with his own ideas and made suggestions that immensely improved the overall project. He was always on time, professional, conscientious and was a great communicator. He did a few additional projects at cost! We really cannot say enough good things about him and are recommending him to our friends. He was particularly skilled with concrete.

    Calvine is one of the best and very creative with his landscaping work, he's very friendly and knowledgeable where he can picture how the yard turn out in his head and also give ideas of how the yard should be that will satisfied you, and this is the picture from start to finished

    finished!

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.

Our extensive project included driveway removal and replacement, patio reconstruction, construction of steps down to our pool, comprehensive planting with irrigation and lighting, and installation of multiple fences/gates. We took our time evaluating contractors and obtaining multiple bids before selecting Michael. He offered the best combination of price and expertise by a significant margin. During our initial consultation, Michael provided excellent cost-saving suggestions that we ultimately implemented, helping us stay within budget without sacrificing quality. Throughout the project, Michael was exceptionally easy to work with. He was highly responsive and accommodated mid-project design changes without hesitation. His installation team exceeded our expectations--they were professional, friendly, and hardworking. They maintained a clean worksite at the end of each day and were consistently respectful of our property and our need to access it during construction. If you're planning a landscaping project, I highly recommend Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance. We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of their work and the professionalism they demonstrated from start to finish.

Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with.

Their price wasn't the lowest (or the highest), but I feel I got a lot of value for the money. Danny was kind and very professional throughout the job. He included in the project price my meeting with one of their designers, who made recommendations and helped me visualize what I wanted, and also helped with the selection of plants.
