I found Carmelo on Yelp while searching for a reputable landscaping company to redo our front yard, trim our large backyard fruit trees, add a timer to the irrigation system, and take care of a few other tasks. I got multiple quotes, and while his pricing was very competitive, what really stood out was how quickly he responded with a detailed quote--much faster than the others. He was also friendly, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. His crew just finished our project in 5 days, and my husband and I couldn't be happier. They did excellent work, were respectful of our space, cleaned up thoroughly each day (which many contractors overlook), and worked hard the entire time. Gabriel ran our job and he was excellent and always had a smile on his face. I've already shared Carmelo's number with two friends and will absolutely continue to refer him to anyone in need of a great landscaper. We'll also be using him for our monthly maintenance. 5/5--thank you, Carmelo! read more

We'd been wanting to upgrade our backyard for a while, and finally decided to go for it. I used Yelp to search because I trust the real customer reviews--and I'm so glad I did. That's how I found Carmelo's Crew Landscaping. After reading the glowing feedback, I reached out with a request--and Carmelo himself responded within the hour! He offered a free estimate and showed up right on time. Before jumping into anything, he really listened to our ideas, took careful measurements, and walked us through everything. The price he gave us was fair and straightforward. About a week later, his crew showed up and brought our backyard vision to life. We're honestly so happy with the results. The work was clean, professional, and exactly what we hoped for. If you're looking for a landscaping company that actually delivers on what they promise--you just found it. We'll definitely be recommending Carmelo and his team to all our friends and neighbors! read more

Showed up on time and within an hour had his crew clean up the landscaping and it looks amazing, will use again!

Carmelo showed up personally and gave me a quote that was fair for irrigation valve replacements. Carmelo was responsive when scheduling and his employee, Gabriel, was very polite and friendly when he came to make the repair. I would definitely recommend this business and Gabriel to others looking for such services. read more

Carmelo and his crew are great! After having him come out to do an initial clean up, we have decided to use his team on a regular basis. He is a family man who cares about his customers and his work. read more

I had a major leak in the irrigation valve in front of my house, so I reached out to my neighbors asking for recommendations. Carmelo and his team were recommended by two of them. I reached out to Carmelo, and he was very cordial and quick to respond. He asked me about the issue and provided me with a quote. I then got quotes from a number of different companies, but Carmelo was the one I felt most comfortable with, and his quote was in line with the market price for the work. The following day, he showed up in person to inspect the leak, diagnosed it properly, and scheduled the work to be completed by his teammate, Gabriel. When Gabriel arrived at the site, he showed up with all the equipment he needed and a very positive attitude. He inspected the issue again and explained to me step by step how he was going to complete the work and how long it would take. From there, we shook hands, and he went to work. Everything was done very professionally. He cleaned up afterwards and even used a machine to make my synthetic grass look nicer. I was very happy with the service provided. I already added them to my contact list for the next time I need any irrigation or yard work. read more

Had a truly amazing experience with Carmelo, Gabriel, and their wonderful crew! We needed some serious help with our dead embankment and lawn. Carmelo was super responsive on Yelp and quoted us a very fair price that included irrigation, gopher wire, succulents, gravel install, and more. Everything was done in about 1 1/2 days and truly looks better than I ever could have imagined it would! We are so appreciative of their hard work and will definitely be using them when it comes time to redo our backyard. Thanks Carmelo and crew! read more

I wish I had a better experience with Carmelo's Crew Landscaping. I originally reached out because of all the great reviews and pictures of their work but we had a terrible experience. It took about 6 weeks for them to come out and on the day of the project they arrived about 4 hours late. Threw some monkey flowers and succulents in according to our plan along with a Tecoma Stans tree. The tree is now folded in half the trunk is so thin it needs staking but they did not provide. None of the plants were planted at correct depth or in line. The mulch came with cockroaches and is poor quality. I have to rip out the 10 succulents as they all died from being overwatered based on the setting they provided and drip irrigation they installed. I really never leave a bad review unless I'm really disappointed. On the better half of things Carmelo and his crew were very polite and kind but I'm very unimpressed with the quality of their work. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews. This company is disrespectful, irresponsible, and unprofessional. They FLAKED on TWO scheduled appointments with me. Look at screen shot of our texts below for PROOF. The response they just left here is a LIE. No one tried to contact me to reschedule. I always contacted them first - to get the brush off last minute. Carmelo and I had set up an appointment for an estimate I needed for irrigation work at my house. He said he'd stop by 6/18/2024 but texted me last minute he couldn't make it. He asked to reschedule. I asked him if he was going to show up this time. He confirmed that he would. Today, 6/19/2024, Carmelo flaked AGAIN! I rescheduled my work meetings to work around him both days. Do not contact this company if you value your own time and energy. They certainly don't! read more

Carmelo's crew does excellent work! He is easy to communicate with and makes sure that the job is completed correctly and in a timely manner.

Can't say enough about the work Carmelo's Crew provided. For the past year and half our German Shepherd dog has completely ruined our backyard sprinkler system. It was time to fix that with drips and bubblers and while we were at it, we decided to change our front yard spray system to drips as well. Carmelo gave a more than fair estimate and we moved forward with his company. He personally was on site to start the project to review our needs and discuss what will be done. His crew of Gabriel, Eddie and Mateo hit the ground running and the project was finished in less than 2 days. At the end, Carmelo walked the yard with me as the system was turned on and detailed what was done. The Yelp reviews were spot on and I'm glad to be part of Carmelo's many satisfied customers. read more

Carmelo and his team were amazing. From the initial request for a quote all the way through installation, the communication was amazing. Carmelo was easy to get ahold of when I had questions and his crew was the best. Gabriel is a master at his craft and if you are looking for a great team to revamp your backyard, look no further than Carmelo and his team! read more

So happy we went with Carmelo & his crew! We had them come in April to do a big front yard clean up & some paving work. We were hosting my mom's 80th birthday at our house and wanted it to look nice. Carmelo made it look incredible! From the first call, he was a pleasure to work with. Great communication, great attitude, competitive quote & superb work. Would not hesitate to hire them again. Thanks, Carmelo! read more

I hired Carmelo and his crew to remove some trees from our backyard, plant new plants and convert our sprinklers to drip irrigation. I had landscape designs from a designer and Carmelo helped me find all the plants at local nurseries, went with me to select the plants, and then had them all installed with care by his team, including a thick layer of mulch on top. Everything is filling in beautifully and we are so happy with the results! I would definitely hire Carmelo again for future landscaping needs. read more

This is the second time we used Carmelo and could not feel more blessed to have met him. He and his crew did a phenomenal job cleaning, weeding, hedge trimming, leveling dirt from overactive gopher holes, removing dead brush and hauling to the dump. Carmelo is quick to respond and shares before and after photos of his work knowing I'm out of town. The pride in his work is readily apparent - and he is one of the nicest people I have had the pleasure of meeting! Thank you, Carmelo! read more

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Carmel 's Crew Landscaping! Carmelo is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He gave us an accurate, reasonable bid and directed/oversaw his team members who are hardworking and talented. They aesthetically laced trees, bushes and plants; replaced struggling plants with others which are in keeping with the original design but better suited to the location; adjusted the micro drip irrigation and buried long term fertilizer at all plants on the property; as well as added mulch. We were extremely happy with the process of the landscaping refresh of our property in Del Mar and already seeing results! read more

Carmelo's Crew Landscaping gets five stars from me! We hired them to replace our old multi‑area patio cover, and from the initial consultation with Carmelo through the final installation, the experience was good. Carmelo took time to discuss the project thoroughly, presented a clear plan, and offered a competitive quote for a design that is definitely better than our previous structure. The team arrived on schedule, kept us updated throughout the process, and invited our input at every stage to ensure the final results met our preferences. They were professional, courteous, and handled our job with care. The finished patio cover is nicely built and fully meets our expectations. I'd highly recommend Carmelo's Crew Landscaping for anyone looking for excellent service, craftsmanship, and communication. read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Carmelo and his crew, beginning to end. We had a general design, and Carmelo came out to walk it with us, describing what was possible and what would be most effective. Our project scope was huge and had significant cleanup, demolition, and builds: demo two existing retaining walls and fence, grading, build two 50+ft retaining walls and fence, old plant removal, drainage, build a new staircase, irrigation, planting, etc. Carmelo provided on-the-spot estimates, and for each line item, which was extremely helpful so that we could pick and choose what would work with our budget. Communication was very easy and clear throughout the whole process, even with unexpected weather delays. His foreman Gabriel is absolutely fantastic- he delivers high quality work and exceptional attention to detail, not to mention he's a nice person and took great care to communicate with us daily and put up barriers to ensure the safety of our toddler and dog. They are very knowledgeable in general, and we were particularly impressed with their knowledge about soil movement and drainage, irrigation (placement and equipment), and plants (plant needs and placement). We are so happy with the work, and enjoy it every day. We've received many compliments from family, friends, and neighbors. The plants are already thriving and we can't wait to see everything in full bloom in a few months!We would easily recommend Carmelo, Gabriel, and the rest of the crew. read more

We agreed that they would come pull weeds around my house where things had become very overgrown. Instead of pulling them they weedwhacked them so instead of leaving a clean looking yard I now have 2" tall weeds everywhere. It was not what I was promised and after a few days the weeds are already growing back. I feel like I got ripped off. Do not work with them. Updated: They did gather up and dispose of a lot of trash which is great but the main thing I wanted was for the weeds to be gone and the weeds are still here and growing. The work they did was the wrong solution to the problem. Now I'm back to pulling weeds myself or paying someone else to pull these weeds. read more

We couldn't be happier with Carmelo and his team! We hired Carmelo to do a big project - retaining walls, large tree removal, concrete, grading, fence and sod. They were punctual, organized and just wonderful people to work with. Months later we are still grateful for their work. read more

Carmelo, Gabriel et crew are truly all master gardener artists of the highest grade. they cleared my weedy hill and restored it to become an exuberant flower garden, with forest fines mulch and drip irrigation, and planted many, many baby plants and small trees very carefully and all at the right angles so plants weren't having a falling forward look on a hill incline. they even mulched in the rain, they work hard ! they helped cover a large hill and it was true that forest fines mulch prevents dust so they know what's suitable for a hilly garden. it's been some years now, and all the baby plants they planted thoughtfully with fertilizer have all grown and are happy, virtually no weeds have returned, and if a few did, they're easy to pluck out due to the thick mulch preventing them. they didn't use any roundup for the weeds, which I appreciated. they helped install the rachio which has the coolest app out there so just a tap away automating your watering and smart watering with the weather in mind, and the system has never leaked anywhere unlike my old DIY drip lines. they use professional grade stuff for drainage, stairs, and irrigation and you can tell the things they build and design lasts and looks good. they were able to help me fix big pooling water areas with a meticulous drainage system. neighbors love our stairs built on the hill with it's cascading look too and they used rocks to help decorate the edges that happened to be already existing on the hill. they love their work, and have pride in their projects! super, super kind team that I feel could make any garden enlivening, with an artisanal and creative eye, and of course highly functional! read more

These guys did a fantastic job! Not only did they find the problem to be quite different than we thought initially, they had it fixed perfectly as if nothing happened! read more

We had our backyard updated after purchasing it. They did a fantastic job! Highly recommend them!!!

Very satisfied with the work. Our front and backyard hadn't been taken care of in years. It was very overgrown with lots of wild grass, foxtails, and weeds. The crew was able to return it to it's original landscaping status in just two days! Communication was fast and easy, and the work was very thorough. They checked out sprinkler lines and everything. Would recommend them to others! read more

Replaced sprinklers and valves in our front yard. Carmelo did a great job and we haven't had any problems so far!

Responded quickly to my service request and fixed my problem ASAP at a reasonable price.

Born & raised in San Diego I new what I was leaving when I decided to relocate to Las Vegas. Unfortunately handling my job remotely wasn't working as planned so I decided to move back. In doing so I purchased a fixer upper in Oceanside. I needed the front and backyard completely revamped. I searched yelp and found some great reviews regarding Carmelo and his crew. I decided to hire Carmelo and it was the best decision I could have made. I gave Carmelo a general description and plan. He came back with a perfect agenda. Carmelo's crew completely redid the irrigation system adding drip irrigation to both front and back yards. I also had a fence quoted with Carmelo. When I approved Carmelo of all the work he insisted he do the fence as well and said he would match the competitors price. I showed him the estimate and he said no problem. I'm so happy I went with Carmelo. He installed new grass,new irrigation, 2 new side fences with gates. He also suggested a landscaper who maintains the yard. I have a bunch of other stuff to be done and will be using Carmelo and his team forever. Not only once but twice I needed him or someone from his crew at my house ASAP to address an issue and both times he had someone there within an hour. I am beyond happy that I have met Carmelo. Trust me you will not go wrong in hiring Carmelo. If you need landscape work ,yard cleanup, irrigation,yard design help and ideas you need to call Carmelo. You will. be extremely happy! Carmelo has been working on my house on and off since October of 2022 and I will always use him. read more

We first met Carmelo when we moved into our new home in 2010. The previous owners had created a nice rock garden with cactus plants in the back yard, which would not work for us because we had four dogs. We needed a yard with grass and without the eyeball hazards that the cactus plants presented. Carmelo came in and completely transformed our back yard into a lovely playground for our four dogs. He and his excellent crew have been maintaining our property and sprinkler system ever since, and we have been very pleased with the work. We can highly recommend Carmelo's Landscaping. read more
