He came over Saturday morning and we talked about the project for 40 minutes. I was already amazed at his responsiveness on such short notice. He gave many great suggestions and helped to shape my vision of a nice landscape. I was very interested in getting a new sprinkler system, as I've never had one and it takes so much time to water everything. He guaranteed that EVERYTHING on my land would get water and then walked me through how that would happen. I also wanted him to clean up some old bushes and shrubs, as well as clean up the old/drying "front yard" (dead/bad grass with weeds). In the back, I wanted him to put down fresh new grass, and put in a border for the walkway. He gave me his bid, which was more than fair, and I told him I'd let him know ( I had more landscape architects coming to give me bids that day). That night, my wife and I talked about it. Although Juan's wasn't the "cheapest", he was by far the most through and competent of the lot. Also, the others didn't include many of the things Juan was including. The next morning (Sunday) I called Juan to tell him about the other bids. He offered to come right over and talk about it in person (on a Sunday! Wow), so I agreed. After discussing it another hour (!), he agreed to match the competitors bid and STILL include all the extra work! Let me tell you, it was an awesome deal. I paid him $200 to close the deal, and the promise to pay him 1/2 later, and the final amount when he was done. The next day, (Monday) he arrived early in the morning and got right to work with his crew. They worked all week, even when it was raining! I would get home from work at 7:30pm and they would still be hard at work too! Juan and his crew did an awesome job. They know exactly what they are doing! They even know how to use and apply "water crystals" before putting down a new lawn. These are little gel things which store water (when you water the lawn, or when it rains). Then it slowly releases the water over several days. I've read that some people only need to water the lawn once a week because of the water crystals. Thanks Juan for bringing water everywhere: to my front, back, corners, and side yards (everything!) and for helping conserve water by using water crystals! Awesome! Great service and great price! Done in 5 days! BTW, according to his business card he does everything, including: Tile Works, Fencing, Retaining Walls, Concrete Work, Brick Work, Bobcat Service, Tree Service, Stucco, Roofing, Remodeling Kitchens and Baths, Demolitions. Job Satisfaction Guaranteed! (I was!)

The project…read moreincluded clearing the existing beds, removing old soil and debris, filling them with high quality planting soil suitable for edible gardens, and getting everything ready for planting. He also trimmed a couple of overgrown fruit trees. From the initial response to the completion of the project, the experience was outstanding. Miguel was incredibly responsive, provided a very reasonable estimate based solely on the photos I texted him, and showed up promptly the very next morning ready to get to work. Miguel was knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions about the soil being used and the best approach for an edible garden. He worked tirelessly all morning, completed everything as promised, and paid close attention to every detail. The garden beds were perfectly prepared, the fruit trees look beautiful, and he left my backyard absolutely immaculate with an exceptionally thorough cleanup. The quality of Miguel's work exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, high quality gardening or landscaping services.

After three years of living with a backyard full of weeds and gopher holes, we finally decided to…read moregive up the hope of running into the "Yard Crashers" crew at our local home improvement store. We interviewed nearly ten potential landscape contractors for our backyard project. Segundo Collazos, the owner of Amazon's Landscaping, was recommended by a good friend who had hired Segundo and his crew to install irrigation and a flagstone pathway. When Segundo came out to discuss our project, he demonstrated that he has the benefit of many years of construction experience, doing both small and large projects. Our project was a moderately large residential project which involved extensive re-grading of the yard, installation of a French drain alongside the back of the house, construction of a retaining wall along a steep slope, installation and compaction of patio surfaces made of a mix of decomposed granite mixed with mortar, construction of a pergola, extensive irrigation installation, and replacement of a dead patch of lawn. Segundo showed us pictures of work he has done for private homes and for public areas such as some schools in Berkeley. The pictures showed a good attention to detail and his prices were competitive, plus we both had a good feeling about his level of professionalism, so we hired him. We have been very pleased with our decision to hire him for the following reasons... 1) He and his crew take pride in their work. Throughout the duration of the work, they did not take shortcuts. They included all materials and finishes that were agreed upon when we negotiated the work to be done. The quality of their work is very good. 2) When there was a need to make modifications, Segundo showed an ability to think creatively given our budget. For example, we have very high winds and the decomposed granite (DG) he put down as a patio surface was not staying in place initially. As a relatively loose material, it was also attaching to our shoes and tracking into the house, which would have been an annoying issue to deal with over the long term. For a minimal amount of additional expense, Segundo resolved the problem by digging up the patio again, mixing the DG with mortar, and re-compacting it. 3) It is often true that things take somewhat longer than expected with construction projects. In this case, there were two things that required some additional work. The first was the problem with the decomposed granite (DG) being too loose given the strong winds where we live. The second was the presence of large tree roots that were uncovered as he was re-grading the backyard. (We had paid a lot of money to two different tree and root removal companies in the past to remove all the roots from a big tree that used to be in the yard, and clearly in both cases, despite assurances that they had each removed all the roots within one foot of the surface, they did not do the job right). Segundo never complained about having to put in additional work - he showed professionalism and commitment to working on both issues until the problems were resolved. He removed the tree roots that needed to come out to get the surfaces level and he made the patio surface much stronger by mixing the DG with mortar. 4) Segundo has an extensive understanding of various plants and he actually cultivates many beautiful plants such as queen palms, sago palms, a variety of aromatic shrubs, and Japanese maples in his own backyard. He made good recommendations about plants that could work well for our space. He was flexible and took into account our preferences and needs in doing the initial planting of parts of the yard and generously included a gift of three of his own plants that we liked. He installed drip lines to each and every plant and tree that he put in the ground so that they will grow well when set to be watered by an automatic sprinkler timer. 5) Despite some additional challenges that came up during the course of the project, in the end, Segundo came in reasonably close to the budget we agreed to in advance and he guarantees the quality of his work. We do not expect problems in the future given his commitment to doing things the right way the first time, but we know that if there are problems, he will address them. This is the longest review I've submitted to Yelp and in the spirit of letting others know about the best companies to hire, I was inspired to relay information about this consistently positive experience with Segundo Collazos of Amazon's Landscaping. We are also attaching some pictures of the work he did because a picture is worth a thousand words. During a time when many contractors take shortcuts or fail to honor one's budget, he is a real find.
