We had the existing lawn removed and replaced with artificial turf in both the front and backyard, new plantings throughout, upgraded irrigation, a relocated water feature, citrus trees, and custom vegetable beds. There were also demolition items and a few changes along the way, and Ben was always clear about options, costs, and timing. Communication was consistent, and we never felt in the dark. The crew was professional, respectful of our property, and detail-oriented, especially with grading, drainage, and the finished look of the turf and planting areas. The end result looks great and functions exactly how we hoped. We're very happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Artscape Gardens to anyone looking for quality landscape work.

They transformed the outside of our home, and it now looks and feels like a magazine spread! Just today, I received compliments from two separate strangers on the front yard. We constantly get compliments on the appearance of our home. Samantha was the landscape architect who created the design, and it was amazing to see her lay out the vision. She saved us space in ways I definitely couldn't have conceived of on my own. She said the remodel would be like doubling our living space, and she was right! Scott oversaw the construction from start to finish. He was very attentive and obviously cared about and was fully invested in the success of the project. He had an expertise with plants and gave great guidance to give me the colors I wanted in plants that would work for our space and the SoCal heat. I am constantly smiling at the plants Scott suggested. They are thriving, and I wouldn't change a thing. The crew was respectful, clean and did a beautiful job. It was a long project, but Pacific Outdoor kept their initial timeline. Our main reason for going with Pacific Outdoor was that they were a one-stop shop. They could do everything. They truly delivered, and it is better than we ever imagined! It was so easy to look at their choices and select what we wanted. They had a wide variety of design choices. We replaced most of the grass in the back with their pavers and used the same pavers for our driveway. They look fantastic. We have a neighbor that had Pacific Outdoor build them a firepit that they love. We received great guidance and attention from the full team all along the way. They didn't quit until the project was finished to our satisfaction. As I float in our beautiful pool and eat tangerines off of my new tree, I feel like a queen and couldn't be happier after choosing Pacific Outdoor! Our family highly recommends them!

I have been very pleased with the results, which have really elevated my enjoyment of my home's outdoor areas. I would also caution anyone considering going with System Pavers to steer clear of those crooks. I wasted thousands of dollars having them do a terrible job on my pool deck, and had to have Pacific rip out their work and fix it. It was an expensive mistake that I hope to save others from repeating. If I had gone with Pacific in the first place, I would have saved lots of money and hassle. Some pictures of the driveway, patio, and now-defunct pool deck are included here.

I found them on Yelp and chose them after getting four other quotes. From the beginning, they stood out for their professionalism, responsiveness, detailed proposal, and fair pricing. Ale was fantastic to work with. She was quick to respond, answered all my questions, and made what could have been a stressful project feel smooth and well organized. Once construction started, Jonathan and his team were excellent. They arrive promptly each day and cleanup well. Jonathan is knowledgeable, professional, and clearly takes pride in his work. What stood out most was his communication and transparency. He provided daily updates, either by text or in person, walking me through the progress and explaining what was coming next, which gave me a lot of confidence throughout the project. I also really appreciated his fantastic customer service and follow-through. For example, the game light I purchased arrived broken from the manufacturer, and Jonathan came back promptly after the project was finished to install the replacement once it arrived. The entire project took about a week, and the final result exceeded my expectations. The court and surrounding landscaping look amazing, drain properly, and have completely transformed our backyard. Seeing my son excited to play on it every day makes it even more worth it. I highly recommend Herencia Landscaping to anyone looking for high-quality, reliable, and professional outdoor work. I would definitely hire them again.

What impressed me most about them was when I told them what I wanted, they gave me ideas based on their expertise. I sometimes worry that contractors will simply give me what I ask for, whether it makes the most sense or not. While I've researched the needs, I'm not a pro and I felt like they listened to the project needs and offered insight to deliver the best result. Jonathan gave me his recommendation and their bid was extremely reasonable. The team came out and got the work done in 2 days. They were sweet people and the work was outstanding. They also left the worksite clean, which seems like a given but seems like a rarity nowadays. I would absolutely hire Herencia again for future projects.

From the very first visit, Edgar was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He took the time to answer our questions, offer suggestions, and explain our options. What I really appreciated was that he didn't just give us an estimate and disappear. Throughout the project, I saw him stop by multiple times to check on the progress, talk with his crew, and make sure everything was being done properly. The entire team was friendly, respectful, hardworking, and professional. I'll admit, when I saw sections of our beautiful St. Augustine grass being lifted and all the dirt from the digging, I got a little nervous. It was obvious that a lot of work was going into the project. But when they finished, I was honestly shocked. The grass looked amazing, the yard looked beautiful, and it was as if nothing had ever been disturbed . They even cleaned and washed down the surrounding concrete, leaving everything looking neat and spotless. You would never know how much work had gone into the installation. The new sprinkler system is working perfectly, and it's clear that Edgar and his team take pride in their work. If you're looking for reliable, professional irrigation or landscaping services in the Pasadena/Altadena area, I highly recommend Edgar and his team. We are extremely grateful for their hard work and couldn't be happier with the results.

He offered suggestions without being pushy and helped me visualize the potential of my project. Jason provided his estimate the following day as promised. He was proactive in looking for ways we could descope my project to fit within my budget. He made himself available to discuss modifications over the phone, and responded to my texts and emails promptly.

They were super knowledgeable about plants, trees, and even local wildlife, which made the whole process feel really thoughtful and not just like a quick job. It did take a few visits to get everything done, but honestly, the end result was worth it. I'd trust them again for future landscaping projects

Be careful when doing business with The Standard Design Group…read more In 2023, my husband paid The Standard Design Group a $15,000 deposit under a contract for the company to grow 60 ficus hedges for our future landscaping project. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we became unable to move forward with the planting. When I first contacted Chriss, he told me we could use our deposit as store credit toward other materials or installation. After that, however, months of text messages went largely unanswered, and it became nearly impossible to get a response. It wasn't until I reached out through The Standard Design Group's Instagram account that Chriss became "responsiv again, telling us he would discuss the matter with the Board. After that, communication once again came to a standstill. When we ultimately requested a refund, we were told our only option was to pay the remaining balance of the contract and take delivery of hedges we can no longer use. Rather than working with us to find a reasonable solution or putting us in touch with management, we were repeatedly directed to a generic company email address. After reviewing our contract, we have serious concerns about the company's position. The agreement contains a cancellation provision referencing a 15% cancellation/restocking fee, yet the company is attempting to retain our entire $15,000 deposit, claiming that too much time has passed and that they have cared for the trees during that time. While we understand there were costs associated with growing and maintaining the hedges, that is the very business they are in. Larger hedges are substantially more valuable than smaller ones. If these hedges are still in their possession, they are worth significantly more today than they were when we paid our deposit in 2023. If they have already been sold, then they have recovered value from the same inventory while still attempting to retain our entire deposit. Despite this, we have never been provided with any explanation or documentation showing why the company believes it is entitled to keep the full $15,000 despite the cancellation language in its own contract. We have spent months trying to resolve this matter professionally and in good faith but have been met with poor communication, broken promises, and no meaningful effort to reach a fair resolution. As a result, we will be filing formal complaints with the California Attorney General, the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, the California Contractors State License Board (if applicable), the Federal Trade Commission, and any other appropriate regulatory agencies. We will also be pursuing all legal remedies available to recover our funds. We expected professionalism, transparency, and customer service from a company handling a project of this size. Instead, we've experienced the exact opposite. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend doing business with The Standard Design Group. Before signing a contract or paying a substantial deposit, I strongly encourage prospective customers to read reviews across all platforms. We are not the only customers who have raised concerns about this company's communication and customer service, and Chriss's name appears repeatedly in many of those reviews. Buyer beware.

The crew was incredibly clean, organized, knowledgeable, and efficient. It's obvious they take pride in their work, and the quality of the finished project exceeded our expectations. Their pricing was also very fair, especially considering the level of craftsmanship and professionalism they brought to the job. Beyond the work itself, they're simply wonderful people. Honest, hardworking, salt-of-the-earth humans who genuinely care about doing things the right way. Those kinds of companies are becoming harder and harder to find. If you're thinking about transforming your backyard or tackling any landscaping project, stop looking. Paradise Landscaping & Gardening is the company you want.

My requirements were: - Bold and colorful - Native and drought tolerant - Automated drip irrigation The project took approximately one week. The amount of work they got done was staggering: they removed all of the old soil, rocks, and weeds and replaced it with quality soil. They laid the irrigation so that each plant has it's own little spigot. Then, the plants arrived - 100 of them! After they were planted, mulch was applied and TA-DA! Best lawn in the neighborhood!! They followed up with a few visits to check the irrigation and make sure everything was good. We are in the height of August summer now, and now at about 6 week mark, the plants are still thriving, the leaves are nice and juicy, and the flowers are growing. Almost immediately, it started to attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Beautiful, AND good for the environment!!! This was a very expensive project for me - I've been waiting to do it for 7 years! But I am delighted with the results. Hopefully I won't have to wait another 7 years to do the next project, but when I am ready, I already know exactly who to hire. I've incuded some pictures of before, during, and after. THANK YOU PARADISE!!
