Chris did a beautiful job with one of our neighbor's property: Beautiful stonework, landscaping, paving and a driveway. So we were familiar with his work. We needed a small retaining wall bordering our neighbor's patio as well as a fix on another wall. Chris is very professional from the estimating throughout the entire job. He's on the job working with his crew. He and his crew are very respectful of property, clean up and also with our neighbors. This was a great collaboration and we highly recommend Chris's Landscaping & Construction. read more

We hired Chris a couple a months ago to build three retaining walls, remove a couple of tree stumps and replace them with new magnolia trees and other plants. He also built us a new stair way that leads into 2 leveled terraces with 4 vegetable garden boxes. Looks great. Chris during the entire one month project was always on time with his crew and communicated very well to us the entire process so there were no surprises. Chris's price for the project was also very reasonable compared to the other estimates we have received. Chris is so reliable we even hired him to do our monthly garden maintenance and is even finding extra work or broken drip system lines that our previous gardener failed to find. We highly recommend Chris. please see before and after pics read more

We heard about Chris and his services via a neighborhood social network and I'm so glad we did! We had a collapsing retaining wall and old breaking steps that needed major work. We had gotten several other bids but didnt like the price or the work plan of the other bids. Chris's plan was excellent (did what was needed but not a lot of expensive extras) and his price was the best of the lot. Chris is very professional and also extremely personable. He was always on time, including for the first free estimate, and actually was able to start the job early. Even better, he finished ahead of schedule! The work was high quality with good materials. Every night, things were cleaned up and when the job was done, it was spotless, with all the debris hauled away. He was willing to do the extra mile, and helped me with small things unrelated to the job. For example, his assistant was concerned that my weekly green can was too heavy for me to roll to the curb and so he did that for me..a small but much appreciated kindness. If you have any landscaping jobs, definitely give Chris a call! read more

Chris's Landscaping (zero stars) - Initially I thought Chris was a good guy that was determined to do a good job, how wrong I was. I contracted him to do a clean up at my home, plant some plantings, perform an irrigation check and fix, and was looking to keep him on for monthly services. I walked him around the yard and pointed out what needed to be done - he didn't take any notes. Here is a list of items he was supposed to accomplish and their results - Clean up: not completed - not even close. He missed many aspects I pointed out to him multiple times and they remain untended to date. Irrigation: Hack job at best. Again, missed a number of items completely and the irrigation that he did work on remains non-functional to plants he installed erroneously (used the wrong bedding soil). Some of these plants have actually died now. Stakes, bought stakes didn't install them on 50% of the plantings. Attempted to fix a zone that didn't need fixing and when I stopped him to save him time he decided to cut out the pre-existing irrigation completely. Committed to a complete re-wire of the valves - didn't do it made a bunch of excuses as to why. Plantings - a bunch of them have died because he didn't use the proper bedding soil and the irrigation is still non functional to the new plantings. Terrible job some of the plantings are leaning over more than 45 degrees. Job site - left it a mess, tools left behind, bags of the wrong potting soil just left where the were being used. His crew left a large ladder of mine in the work area - just left it there, a single person (me) cannot move it alone. Commitment: He's told me many times he would return to fix the things that were not done correctly. He's blown them and me off completely. On-site and crew management - he wasn't on-site managing the crew to be sure the items in the contract were completed, items taken care of and fixed or replaced (see notes above). Largely non representational during the work to be sure the crew did their jobs correctly. He asked to leave a huge trailer in the driveway which I said was okay. the trailer was full to the top - it was the trailer he was supposed to use to carry away the clean up debris - when I asked him about how he was going to get the debris into the trailer he provided some ridiculous excuse and didn't answer the question. In order to have carried the debris away it would have needed to be tarped to be sure debris didn't spill out onto the road. He didn't even use the trailer to haul anything away. Payment: I was working and trusted him to be sure the job was completed. Unfortunately he pressed me for payment stating he did what was asked and in contract. A big mistake, huge mistake in fact. He's been paid and now won't return and has blown off my attempts in getting this massively shotty work completed and repaired. In the end, I hired him to do a job that remains a job needing to be done. Result: Don't hire this guy. While he pretends to be committed he's not. He's fly by night and likely won't be in business in the future. The reality he's a cash grab mentality with absolutely zero work completion ethics. If you review his pictures here he's probably asked for a huge down payment way in excess of CA's rules (10% down or $1000 which ever is smaller). To top it all off, I helped him by purchasing tooling to make his job easier. Net net, if you hire this guy your making a huge mistake. He likely won't read this nor does he care anything about his commitments and project completion. He could care less for your satisfaction as well. In calls that he did pick up asking him to return it was obvious he didn't care for finishing the work nor fixing the things that were left half completed since he was paid already. Zero work ethics, Zero customer satisfaction, 50% at best completion on contractual obligations. Zero integrity (even though he sells it well). 100% Cash grab and could care less for his work and commitments. Don't bother calling you will regret it. There are many others out there, ask for references before hiring anyone....another mistake I made unfortunately because he appeared honest and ethical and committed to the work. read more
