The Oakplant team are the best gardeners I have ever hired. EVER…read more Started when promised, finished when promised and came in on budget. Masters of irrigation. Dream team for design and plant choices. And, they won't sell you something you do not need. They are so good and so attentive to the plants, irrigation, layout and all things gardening. I added their monthly maintenance to make sure the garden continues to stun as time goes by. Goodbye to the blow-and-mow team. That is no longer considered gardening in my book. Oakplant Landscaping will not disappoint!

Highly recommend!

I hired Greentech to install a sprinkler system and front lawn in 2020. The person who oversaw that…read morejob, I really liked. A few months later, he disappeared. There was another guy who was good, Aaron, who oversaw my biweekly mowing etc. In the past few years, I've had a couple issues. Mainly dying plants due to not being pruned correctly. I would call or email to correct the situation. The one plant species I told them not to touch were my roses. I didn't have faith in their work. Honestly, I should've let them go a year ago. I knew that. Aaron sold his business, and I thought I'd give them a try. Until today.... I came home to my beautiful, and very expensive, roses completely hacked. They were my favorite part of the yard, growing through the white picket fence with the most beautiful blooms. Not anymore. I watched our security cameras and the way they just completely did a hack job on them. My favorite part of my home is now ruined. Don't hire them for anything other than mowing a yard.

Great company ! After several attempts at getting bids for some repairs (some places never even…read morecalled me back or replied!), Greentech replied and came by the next day to evaluate and give me a price on some irrigation repair. Price was reasonable vs the only 1 other bid I received; and Aaron seemed to know what needed to be done. They arrived the next morning and did the repair in a couple of hours. We additionally had some leaky valves I decided to see if he was able to replace - He replaced them that afternoon with higher quality valves. We did have 1 issue several days later with 1 of the new valves leaking. We never pressure tested them the day they were replaced due to the fresh glued joints. So this was first time stressing them. I reported the leak and he arrived the next day and addressed the issue (it was a faulty valve). All fixed and working perfectly. Aaron is awesome & very knowledgeable. They provide an excellent Warranty. And their pricing is very reasonable & competitive. I highly recommend this place for your Irrigation & Landscaping needs.

After pouring the driveway they did not cleaning up the street, leaving residue to dry and blow in the neighbors ' houses. They even tried to get away with not sealing the pavers even though we paid for it. MIKE IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIARS I've ever met. He promised us the workers would not be using the brand new bathroom but they did tracking dirt in all over our new floors. He said the sand would harden with the seal applied. Never hardened and the sand started falling through and leaving gaps in between the pavers when it. They never used a compactor to compact the sandy grout. He promised he would come back and fix that and never did. This was summer 2016. Keep away from this company! EXPENSIVE!!!!!

I have to say, I'm very disappointed in my - granted, limited - experience with Enchanted Gardens…read more After trading multiple messages with Marty, we finally found a time to meet at my house and talk about our landscaping design and maintenance needs. He was experienced, smart, pleasant and had some great ideas for our backyard. I was very excited. He told me he didn't have capacity at the time to do any major landscaping, but that he could fit us into his schedule for bi-monthly maintenance and could start to address some of the bigger cleanup issues a little at a time that way. Which was fine with me. We discussed his rate, and set an approximate start date of a couple of weeks hence. I told him that I would give notice to the current gardeners, and we agreed to touch base shortly to nail down his exact start date. And I never heard from him. Even after I left him two voicemails. Nothing. Just totally blown off. No explanation or response of any kind. I don't write many reviews - especially negative ones - but I thought other busy working parents (or anyone else with a to-do list many feet long, who doesn't have time to screw around or have their efforts wasted) should know. I am baffled as to what kind of business person treats potential new clients that way. I find it unprofessional and inconsiderate, to say the least. I most definitely would NOT recommend this business to anyone, ever.

Based on the reviews I read here, I called Marty. I wanted a beautiful lawn in my backyard. I had…read moretried to seed it twice with no success-not because of all my weeds, but mostly because the irrigation system wasn't working. And, I didn't water it enough the old fashion way. And my 2 year old pup preferred to destroy both attempts. Marty returned my call and scheduled a visit within days. He was honest and gave wise advise for this budgeting educator. He suggested that I go with sod (with a dog) and must have working irrigation to maintain it. Marty knew I had a tight budget and discussed ways to keep the cost down. He really took the time to listen and covered all options. The estimate arrived a few days later and once I signed and sent 10%, his crew showed up a week before the date they had promised. Marty and his crew are hard working- After 6 hours of non-stop work for 4-6 men, my backyard of dirt and weeds was transformed into a lush sod lawn. Marty helped me cut costs by repairing my irrigation system instead of installing a new one. This turned out to be more work and time for him too. He also suggested I buy a cheap automatic water timer at a local hardware store instead of him buying me a commercial grade timer at 3x the cost. Knowing I do not have a green thumb, Marty took the time to make sure I knew how to take care of the sod and work the irrigation. Most impressive, however, was that 2-3 weeks after the installation, there was a problem with a nozzle and a small section of sod didn't survive (as it wasn't getting watered). I called Marty. No response. I called a few days later. No response. I thought, "oh great, I payed the man in full and now I won't hear from him". SURPRISE. Marty was on vacation and called me as soon as he returned the following week. He came out three days later, replaced the dead patch and faulty nozzle. At no extra cost. That's Marty's work ethic. I highly recommend Marty for your yard needs. My pup and I couldn't be happier.

Yuki Kozuki is the owner of the Kozuki Landscaping that has been around the bay area for 18 years…read more At least, that is what his business card stated. He is a licensed landscaping contractor. He told us his father is Japanese and his mother is Vietnamese. His English is very, very basic, but he understands what we want for our yards. We recently hired him to install/repair the sprinkler system for the front and back yard with a new timer in the garage, minor clean up in the front yard, river rocks in the front yard, new sod for the backyard (approximately 1000 sq.ft. of new lawn), and a MAJOR clean up in the backyard. He first quoted me close to $10k for the whole project. I waited and received 3 other estimates for the project. I called him back and told him what the other landscapers quoted me, which is around $7k. He dropped his price to the high end of the $7k. We wanted him to work on our yards, because he has his own stable crew. He works on-site along his crew members. He provided a huge photo album of all the houses he worked on in the past few years. His specialties are koi pond, waterfalls, concrete and wood works. We are not talking about the store-bought fountains or ponds either. He built them from scratch. His photos showed the step by step process of how he set up a waterfall/pond in one of his customer's backyard. Trust me when I say I distrust contractors like I distrust Bush's administration. I have had a horrible experience with a fraudulent contractor, so I was very skeptical of his promises to begin with. He took the $1k deposit and started the job the next day. He worked on my yards for 7 days and about 6 hours each day. He did not ask me to pay him in the middle of the work. He did go out of his way to make my yards look great. He welded a new faucet in the backyard, because the old one is too old. He replaced an old lumber in the walkway. He made sure everything is neat and tidy. He dug the holes for my new plants. He put drip irrigation in some area. The job was finished on 10/05. I noticed there was a small puddle of water next to the new valves on 10/07. I called him immediately and he came out today to look at the puddle. He promptly dug out the puddle and fixed the problem. I am giving Kozuki Landscaping 4 stars instead of 5 stars, because of the initial over-priced quote he gave us. For the final payment, he asked me if I can pay him in cash, all $6700 of it. I refused his request and he was very amiable about it. I would recommend his service for small or big projects. You can drop my name when he is giving you an estimate and ask him for a discount.

After we decided to move forward with Kozuki, we felt the concrete layout way great along with the design aspects. He bought in large boulders to our surprise at no charge for added rugged look. He also build a gazebo that we requested and installed the sprinkler system. I decided to paint the gazebo on my own to save some money. I think the pricing is average to high, however the quality of work is excellent. I guess the saying is you pay for what you get. You can tell the owner Zozuki is very straight forward and upfront, but honest. I'm glad we worked with him and would recommend his services.

This is a review for the estimate and evaluation of my yard…read more Many landscapers can be very flaky. I found some through yelp and some through local advertising. A friend of mine in San Ramon used Preston and was pleased. Gary showed up at the promised time and did a very professional evaluation. He has a friendly attitude and great ideas. His experience shows. He recommended a variety of drought tolerant plants and creative hardscape ideas. Gary did his measurements and came back a week later with a beautiful presentation that included a sketch and a proposal that clearly detailed all of the work to be done. In the end we decided to go with someone else who had more competitive price. Although we picked another landscaper I would not hesitate to recommend Preston landscaping based on the professionalism and organized nature of the way Gary conducts his business.
