Natural Earth redid the landscaping for our entire property - front and back - and we love it! They…read moreturned a combination of grass, ivy, random palm trees, weeds, and invasive bamboo into a Southern California native and drought-tolerant oasis. From the beginning, it was very easy to work with the entire Natural Earth team. Starting with the consultation & design, they were very communicative and efficient. Once demo of the existing landscaping began, they also worked quickly & efficiently to complete the project. Some of the reasons we recommend Natural Earth include: a true expertise in native plants (they have lots of great suggestions but will also take into account what plants you might have in mind); the quality of work is great - our yard looks amazing and after ~ 1 year, it's only getting better; they've continued to support our plants, replacing any that didn't make it through the establishment period; they're local members of our own community. We highly recommend Natural Earth for your landscaping needs.

Our experience with Natural Earth LA was extremely positive. The owner Geordie was very easy to work with and was available to take care of our concerns in a timely manner. Even though it was a large project that involved a landscape based on LA natives it was done without stress and working with Matt on the deign we were able to bring a lot of the elements like a dry creek bed, water features,veggie and fruit garden, perennial garden etc etc. The crew that included Tony who was the foreman were very diligent and always receptive to our concerns. We are so happy that we chose Natural Earth LA to do our backyard. They have given us a slice of paradise to soak up the sounds of nature. We recommend them highly.

I hired Land X Landscape Construction for a patio project that included a fire pit and gas line…read more The work was performed under Land X Landscape Construction Inc, which had an expired contractor license at the time. The project resulted in poor workmanship, an unpermitted and unsafe fire pit/gas line installation, and an incomplete job. These issues raised serious safety concerns and required further correction. The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) investigated this matter and issued citations, including violations related to failure to obtain permits, departure from trade standards, and contracting with an expired license. The contractor was given an opportunity to correct the work, but the issues were not properly resolved and the project was ultimately abandoned. I strongly recommend verifying that the license on your contract is active, matches the contractor performing the work, and that all required permits are obtained before proceeding.

My wife and I recently completed a hardscape project in our back yard…read more After engaging several contractors and reviewing all the proposals, we decided that Land X would yield the best results. For this project, cost was not the only consideration. We needed a contractor that had the planning and infrastructure to run this project to ground on time and on budget. Over and above this requirement, the team at Land X were professional and clearly demonstrated their expertise in this space. We really appreciated the clear communication from the design/planning phases and through to conclusion of our project. They provided solid guidance in helping my wife and I come up with a clean and low maintenance design for our patio and back yard. This project was completed on time and on budget. Over and above that, the teams onsite were organized, clean and efficient. Cannot say enough about this experience. There was a moment when my wife left the garage door open, the team would not leave until they knew my wife was safe and secure before leaving for the day. When the job was completed, we could not believe it was the same back yard. We were definitely pleased with the outcome. It was the small details that complimented the finished result. My wife and I will enjoy the back space for many years to come. We have no reservations in recommending Land X for any upcoming projects. Lastly, we would like to extend a special thank you to Mario, our main contact. He kept us informed and wanted to make sure that we were completely satisfied with the work.

I finally decided to take out my grass and do a native yard. I'm not sure why I waited so long…read more Scenic View Landscape made the whole process easy and exciting. From the beginning Isaias was an ease to work with. He returned my call, talked to me about my plan, came out and measured and gave me a bid, had very fair pricing, and kept me updated on the start date. He also allowed me to meet him at the nursery to pick the plants/colors that I wanted for my yard. When Isaias and his crew started, it was a pretty quick two-day process. He and his crew were very responsive to my design ideas. I wanted a berm next to a dry riverbed to give the yard some texture. Yet, Isaias and the guys also added their expertise on things I would not have known to do and design ideas that increased the beauty of the landscape. The materials (bark, stone) are really nice quality. And they left everything clean and tidy. In the end I was happier than I ever expected. Now all I want to do is sit out front and watch the beautiful plants grow and the birds and lizards make their homes. I'll attach photos of the before and after, but seeing their work up close is really impressive. Isaias, Jose, and the wonderful crew of guys they had, made the whole experience fun and rewarding. I couldn't have wished for better results.

2 things about this crew that sets them apart …read more.. 1. Doing things the right way, even if its the hard way 2. COMMUNICATION I came across their Yelp page and decided to give him a call. When we agreed on a date/time for him to come and give an on-site quote, he actually came on time, with a sample of turf, ready to go. I appreciate that. Once I got the ok from the boss (wife), he started the job that week and I NEVER HAD TO FOLLOW UP WITH HIM. He would be calling and texting me that he had a question or suggestion due to something we didn't think about at the time. The photos are actually 2 jobs. Job #1 - Backyard - turfed area & side dirt area. This was a HUGE TASK. The area was so un-leveled that we would have pools of water sitting there after a rainy day. It was IMMENSE to backfill the dirt and get everything setup for concrete/turf. These guys made quick work of it AND kept the area tidy after the end of each day. You rarely see that sort of attention and professionalism anymore. Job#2 - Front yard - new privacy plants & clean up After seeing the work Marcos did in the back, I didn't hesitate to start work in the front. It was about 2 or 3 weeks before the boss (wife) approved more funding for the front yard, she was impressed also. Tried to upload the pictures in BEFORE/DURING/AFTER order with Nest cam photos. THE PICTURES SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. Give Marcos a call and tell them you read my review.

Run! Run! Run! Please don't use this service! Over the past 3 months, I've made him aware that…read morehis workers weren't doing well and I sent pictures. Recently he's been threatening me because I didn't want his service anymore and he was afraid of reviews. I think that I will have to notify the police of the situation In case of any negative situations. I have cameras everywhere, but just in case. He's NOT an honest man. His service used to be good, but not anymore. We established in the beginning what needed to be done and the price...but those basics are not getting done anymore. After almost 2 years EVERYTHING IS severely lacking. He only mows the lawn and we have to beg and plead to trim bushes etc......for what we're paying it's just not worth it. He likes to remind me that he only charged me for part in a sprinkler system. I would have gladly paid him labor but he said it was a ' favor' . If I thought it wasn't going to be done properly, I would have preferred to pay. When my family came to visit, the yard was NOTICEABLY poorly cared for. I WAS EMBARRASSED!!! Why? because they failed to mow or tend to the trees and scrubs . At the time I was in poor health yet and still I've had to trim trees and scrubs and still have to pick up what is CLEARLY BLOWN trash!!! HE was angry because I didn't want his service anymore more and he kept threatening me if I left a bad yelp review, so he wrote: ( mind you this is the man that LIES about everything) ~"you. Be careful-l am a child of God and His servant. Be careful, because my Father might punish you for what you're doing!" AND: ~"You better pay or I'll call collections "His workers scraped up and threw away the landscaping rocks because they didn't feel like sorting out the seeds that fell into them. I asked WELL IN ADVANCE, suggesting that they either replace them or I could take it out of the bill..... weeks in advance. Mind you, he's paid under the table ... I have proof. He was concerned about ICE and I told him not to worry that he could stay here awhile etc.. ~"if you post on my page ( YELP)I will take you to court for employee abuse and for making threats-because you *are* threatening me by saying that if I don't do what you want, you'll leave comments." ~Yesterday, I spent money on gas and paid a helper to fetch stone, and I gave it to you as a bonus just to make you happy. But even that wasn't enough. Reminder, HIS EMPLOYEES THREW THE OTHERS, but he was given the option, if I buy them I'll have to pay shipping, if you choose to bring them ..... you won't. ~"you. Be careful-l am a child of God and His servant. Be careful, because my Father might punish you for what you're doing!" But he constantly lies! You'd think we would have developed a relationship by now but not true. He wrote me a note detailing all FIVE XTRA Things that he's done over a 2 year period. Since he's NOT an honest man, I could guess at least some of it's true....it's NOT. His workers used to come at a decent time of day. Now they come late and stay 45 minutes at most I have been I poor health lately yet and still | have to trim and pick up what is CLEARLY BLOWN trash!!! See pictures I'd rather pay and get it done correctly than half done for FREE! I've caught him in so many lies. He won't answer texts or phone calls. So if I need something done or have a concern.....l can never get in contact.. UNLESS IT HAS TO DO WITH GETTING HIM PAID. He likes to remind me about that one time he cut down a bush but forgets that he's being paid $100 per visit JUST TO MOW THE LAWN!

They were very respectful every single time they came to do the job. They cleaned up after themselves and made sure everything was spotless.
