Five stars for Cruz Landscaping. I hired them to renovate the exterior of my new house, and the craftsmanship is top-tier. They did an excellent job with the concrete and planter installations, making sure everything looked modern and cohesive. They really took the time to make sure the finish was perfect. Great communication and even better results! read more

I reached out to Cruz Landscaping looking for an estimate to replace my back yard fence and replace my pile of dirt of a back yard with artificial turf. We communicated over the phone and set a day for him to visually see my idea. Leo was professional and listened to my wants and needs. I received his quote after a couple of days. I didn't feel rushed but after a week I locked him in. His team was polite, professional and answered all my questions. I was extremely happy after the work was completed and will definitely be contacting Leo for my next project! Thanks Cruz Landscaping read more

Cruz Landscaping did an excellent job updating my sprinkler and controller system. In addition, I had them do some landscaping on my property. I plan on having them do more work in the future. Leo, the owner was extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable with excellent people skills. His workers were clean and efficient. I highly recommend Cruz Landscaping! I give them a 5 out of 5 star rating! read more

Their charges are high but worth the quality Arrive on time clean up afterwards we will use them again read more

Leo responded to my inquiry regarding the wooden fence/gate at the front of my house via Yelp App. He provided a free estimate pretty promptly, but also confirmed in person. His rates were twice as low than the other competitors. He even offered to stain the wooden fence (additional fee, not bad), whereas other vendors stated it wasn't included. His team (Sal, I believe) was nice and completed the job. They demolished the old wooden fence and built a whole new one. Waited 3 weeks to stain the wooden fence per protocol, which was perfect. We are very happy with our fence! Much better than our previous one! read more

One of our sprinkler valves broke yesterday (Saturday) so I spoke with the owner. His kids were playing in the background, obviously getting ready for a family Saturday. He indicated that he had family plans yet he stayed on the phone with me and walked me through how to shut down the valve for 15 minutes, very helpful. I will certainly consider this business to replace my other 5 sprinkler valves. read more

Leo and his crew are amazing! Very professional and helped make my landscaping ideas turn into reality. The crew was polite and friendly and made sure everything was just as I wanted. They always cleaned up after working and made my landscaping renovation look like a work of art. We had old grass removed, in ground lighting, new irrigation and new sod placed. It turned out better than I could have hoped for! Leo offered ideas that made things even better and made sure we understood how everything worked, including the new sprinkler system. We love it!! read more

Leo and his crew did a great job moving a very large avocado tree and replanting it. It is doing great. They also planted a new avocado tree. They were very efficient. Leo is very knowledgeable about plants and exceptionally accommodating. read more

Leo was able to respond quickly to my request to have plants removed. He gave us a fair price and was even able to get some of his crew members to remove it the day following my request. He was very communicative about the timing of his crew's arrival for the service. The crew was very knowledgeable, did great work and even cleaned up the space afterwards. They also were willing to answer some questions we had about future gardening we are looking to do on our property. Overall, a great experience and would use this business again! read more

No more gophers! Great work from start to finish. Removed old sod, leveled, laid wire, added top soil, laid sod, fix irrigation. Great follow up. We're very happy. Would use this company again and recommend it to others. read more

Leo and his crew did an amazing job on our landscaping project. We've used him twice so far and will continue to for future projects. He's redone our back bank, resloping and planting, redid all of our irrigation system, added nice rock, and next time we will use home for a new fence around the property. Love his creative mind, attention to detail, and reasonable pricing. He's great to work with, highly recommend. read more

Leo and his team are the best! So reliable, knowledgeable and fast. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

Got 62 hedge trees installed by Leo and his team + new drip irrigation. Leo was competitive with other bids I was getting and ultimately I decided to go with him because of his professional and responsive communication. The installation went perfect except for some minor issues with the irrigation due to miscommunication on my part but Leo was quick to right the issues at no extra cost. I highly recommend Cruz landscaping for your next project! read more

I'd give them 10 stars if yelp allowed. Leo and his crew were great. They went above and beyond, paying attention to every little detail. The price was very fair and the quality of their work is as good as you could hope for. No reason to use anyone else for your landscaping needs. read more

Initially had a great experience with Leo and his crew on the first job he responded to. Since I had that experience, I decided to reach out to him again for another job. That is when everything went south... communication was pretty non-existent from him after missing the scheduled date/time we set up. The first missed time, he stated he was sick so I let it go (even though a simple call beforehand would have been helpful). The second time I waited again with no response. He later mentioned that he "lost track of time", after I reached out to him 30 minutes past the time he was scheduled to be there. As stated before, his work was great the time him and his team the first time, but communication fell drastically when trying to utilize him the second go round. read more

Leo Cruz did a landscaping remodel for us, and he has also come back to do smaller projects for us. The quality of his work is outstanding, and he is also very responsive. We would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Customer service is a lost art in 2024 and Cruz is clearly a local gem. Talk about the balance of quality meets efficiency is hard to come by. read more

We needed three things. One, our backyard sprinkler system was leaking and the broken line had been run beneath our artificial turf. They found and fixed two leaks and put our turf back down beautifully. Second, we wanted a paved area for our heavy Traeger Grill and it turned out perfect. Third, we added and relocated some plants in our xeriscape front yard. Chris Cruz patiently walked us through each of these steps and made sure each was completed exactly as we had hoped. Great work at a fair price. We could not be happier with the results. We'll definitely call them for any future work. Highly recommended. read more

Leo at Cruz Landscaping was professional, responsive and quick in providing me a quote. The quote I received from Cruz Landscaping was competitive with other landscape contractors I obtained quotes from. Leo and his crew showed up on time and completed the work within n the timeframe and at the price quoted. I would use Cruz Landscaping again. read more

Requested a quote to remove existing tree, bushes and plants in our front yard. Had a response the same day and the service was completed within 4 days. The work was excellent and the staff cleaned up the property after they removed the items. Would definitely recommend. read more

I call Leo once a year for a big job clearing out our hill behind the house. His crew do it so quickly and thoroughly it blows my mind! I recommend his company to all my real estate clients because I know they will do a good job. Leo is honest, reasonable and reliable, what more do you want?!?! read more

Since buying this house in 1998 we've worked with a number of contractors, for both interior and exterior upgrades. I can honestly say that our experience with Leo and crew was the FIRST time we've been COMPLETELY satisfied. Quick, efficient and thorough - every member of his team was respectful of our property, friendly and attentive to details. (I'm a retired engineer and quite 'picky' or 'finicky' by nature, so it takes exceptional performance to earn this opinion from me.) I had three other landscapers bid on my front yard, one of them offered a lower price. The owner of that business called me personally to ask why I had not chosen them. I explained (without naming Cruz) that I chose the contractor who gave me a Timely bid, was Transparent (in that his bid disclosed materials cost and named the suppliers), and was Flexible - allowing us to save money or add to the total price in our final choices. None of the other outfits came close. They all took days to get back to me, did not give us any further choices and wanted me to accept their bid with a 'take it or leave it' attitude. Every day Leo's crew showed up early, as promised, and I can honestly say that the amount of work they did each day was almost double what I expected. We are contemplating more exterior upgrades and wouldn't think of using anyone other than Leo Cruz and his amazing team. read more

Leo was great! Pricing was transparent, quote was well detailed and explained so we knew exactly what we were getting and where he got materials from and how much everything cost. Communication was important to us and he always explained everything in detail and repeated when needed. He was clearly knowledgeable and an expert in his field. His guys worked hard, were very professional and cleaned everything. We had a great experience and we will use him again! My husband is super hard to work with because he likes everything perfect and well done and he gave Leo thumbs up and that's rare for him. We are happy read more

Quality work. The team cleaned up the worksite every night, which we appreciated. There was a problem with some of the concrete, but to his credit Leo brought it to our attention before we noticed it, and insisted on removing and fixing it at his own expense. read more

Amazing, quick service. Definitely recommend. Very honest and takes pride on the work he does.

I went to a co-worker's house for a gathering and saw he had artificial turf installed. He gave me Leo Cruz's number. I have to say that this was one of the best decisions to use Mr. Cruz. He was very pleasant, informative, and very fair on pricing. His suggestions were very truthful and informative. Once they started work, we were very impressed with how they left their work area. His workers left the place clean... when I say clean. I mean spotless. Each and every day, they worked. After the job was done, his attention to detail was great. The way the nap of the turf and how he makes it look so natural. I would highly recommend Mr. Cruz and his crew to my family, friends, and neighbors for any turf or landscaping business. read more

I was referred to Cruz Landscaping from a friend and they did not disappoint. Leo and his team did an outstanding job. Leo was extremely transparent during the quoting process and provided exceptional service. I got my front yard done with DG, new mulch and a drip system. I requested specific plants and Leo and team went out and found them for me. Leo gave me the name of the business he would buy the decomposed granite from so I could get samples and get exactly what I wanted. I wanted a more minimal look and they delivered exactly what I was looking for. Love love love my new yard read more

Absolutely horrible lawn service. We hired Leo Cruz to maintain our lawn after we bought our house 6 years ago. He promised to provide weekly service including mowing, weeding, edging, etc. Our front and back lawns went from beautiful to covered in weeds and overrun all around the edges. His crew constantly no-showed and we'd have to text him for updates when they hadn't been in a couple weeks. He would never let us know ahead of time if an appointment would be missed, we would have to contact him. His crew missed 6 weeks over the past 4 months so we cancelled service on August 28. He apologized, blamed it on getting a new crew recently and said he would send a check to refund for 2 months of service. Here we are 3 weeks later and he never even sent a refund. He also stopped replying. DO NOT USE THIS LAWN SERVICE! read more

Leo was great and responded to my questions no problem. The weeds I had were more than one yard should have. And His guy did an amazing job on my yard and made my yard clean up look better than I expected and way better than anything I could do. It's been 2days and I look at my yard and not want to burn it all. And that's a good feeling. Great all the way around. I would definitely use them for my next project. read more

Leo was practical, efficient, and a straightforward, no nonsense communicator which I appreciated. I enjoyed working with him and his team on my stump removal and concrete post removal. They did a thorough job, completed when they said they would, and left a tidy work site. They were able to fit my project in within a few days of the request. The value was great. I have zero complaints. Highly recommend. read more

Leo converted our back yard into a functional area that the kids will love for years. Not only was he the most cost effective, but he was also the most courteous, timely and good with his communication. We had 3 other bids (won't mention names), but Leo's professionalism outshined theirs. He gave us a time frame of 2 weeks and was done in just over a week. He gave me a start date, re-confirmed it about a week in advance, and then re-affirmed it 2-days prior to starting. We had dead, uneven grass that was never used and he brought in some great ideas and built us a gas fire pit with excellent stone work, turf throughout and he was able to tie in my horse shoe pits. Leo added drainage for me as well. We couldn't be any happier. I highly recommend CRUZ Landscaping and now my neighbor is using him. read more

I had a meeting scheduled a week in advance. We agreed that he would we there on 7/24 at 1 pm. He called today at 11 am and gave me excuses that he can't make it today. The excuse was I didn't give him the address. B.S. Indirectly, this is a blessing. I would regret hired his company and get the B.S. read more

Loved working with Leo and his team. He helped me transform my unusable space into a nice small yard and terraced slope. read more

I am disappointed with you for not getting back to me about the quotes for two weeks! I did welcome you to estimate around my house. You told me you will send me the invoice within five days but it's already two weeks ago! I realize that you didn't bother to ask me further about what I want for my remodeling projects. I guess it's your loss! read more

I was thoroughly impressed with our experience with Leo. I found him on yelp and called regarding a question with irrigation that was done by someone else. Leo was very professional, thorough and helpful in answering my questions. He came out next day for a free evaluation in which we wouldn't be needing additional services at this point. Regardless, he made himself available for any questions. Thank you Leo for your honest and friendly experience! It's greatly appreciated. read more

At first I wasn't going to give a review, but after a long hot day trying to get the trees and plants replanted I decided I must warn other prospective customers what dealt with .. We called Leo Cruz out to give us a quote on planting various size palm trees an plants behind a retaining wall. ( took a week before he could do the job) His quote came in close to the other quotes we received, however it was his personality and knowledge that won my husband over. He was to install the trees & plants on 4/8/17:30 a.m. Instead he calls to say he can't make it due to his driver not showing up, he would do the job on 4/9 . On 4/9 @ 7:30 a.m. we get another call an he said he could only have one worker come do the job. My husband said no because it required more than one person to do the job an we didn't want to supervise the person that was his job so Leo decided to send 2 workers on 4/10. ( red flag we should have called somebody else). WARNING (Please check contractors license, I found Leo have to different contractors license number posted on sites... 1252130 & 095186 which Ca contractors License board say neither one exist.) The 2 people he sent (one being his brother), was to plant palm trees and tropical plants, and they did however they planted some trees & plants turned backwards, but the worst part was they didn't plant most of the plants deep enough an in some cases they wasn't planted at all. They were taken out of the container an left unplanted, they were excessive amount if dirt left in lumps an clots all over the place not to mention the containers from the plants, and containers from energy drinks and Eribertos food containers left for us to pick up. My husband requested the workers to come back the next day for only a couple of hours to complete the planting instead of working the 1/2 day as scheduled , he decided he would complete the irrigation that was also part of the job, however Leo said he couldn't send the workers for a couple of hours. So we was put in a bad position either pay as part of their half day to replant the plants or not have them come back, we decided not to have them come back! Leo came by to see the horrible job his crew had made which he did the next evening to pick up his check. He was in agreement the job was not a professional job and discounted the job. The thing that bothered us was he told my husband that he was too busy to fix their mess at that time he maybe could fit us in about a week or week 1/2... we found this unfair and unacceptable we didn't want to wait another week for the plants to be replanted so with help from a few people and family we replanted the plants. Maybe had Leo come to supervise or check on his crew as he stated when he first took the job things would have been different. I'm glad for the customers who wrote on here they received good service however I'm alerting the future/ potential customers it's 50/50 chance you get good work from this company we sure didn't would I recommend this company absolutely not!!!!! read more

I contacted Leo to do my back yard landscaping. I was amazed at his willingness to incorporate my vision and make it affordable for me. He and his crew were organized, efficient and so professional. It took a day and a half and my new project looks incredible! Leo knows landscaping! He was so nice and very helpful. He gave me a beautuful back yard and we are over the moon. If you want a proper job done, call Leo Cruz! He is the BEST!!!!! read more

Unfortunately I didn't realize that they weren't completing the scheduled service at our rental properties until after many many months of paying for no service. I also find out from my tenant they were there about 10-15 min per visit when it was supposed to be 2-3 hours. When I asked Leo to correct it, there was a very delayed response and lies about when they had last serviced it. Then they promised to show up on a certain day and no one showed. Now no response at all. Apparently the many years I have been paying them monthly and on time we're not enough for them to perform and show up or even respond anymore. read more

I can't say enough good things about Leo and his crew. They took are weed filled mess and turned it into a beautiful oasis. Leo was professional, timely, courteous, and fairly priced. He finished the job quickly and he really cares about his work. His crew was great too, always on time and very professional. Leo is also great with dogs and really goes the extra mile to make you feel like a valued client. I highly recommend him for all of your landscaping needs. read more

I had Leo & his crew come by again, this time to clean up the front and back yard. He cleaned up the giant bird of paradise, overgrown hibiscus, banana trees, palms, and other vegetation in addition to trimming the grass and raking up the loose leaves, and he got it done on two days' notice for a bargain price. Thanks! read more
