    Five stars because it costs no yen…read more As far as Japanese gardens go, this one is my least favorite because it is rectangular, with a visible metal fence perimeter, with ugly trash and graffiti visible from across the creek and no opportunities to feed the koi fish. Three things, though, that make it special is that they have memorial plaques, stray cats, and blowtorched wood for an aged and weather-resistant finish. From 1913-1962, the site was a practice site for farming and raising livestock for Hayward Union High. It became a garden by the late 1970s, and when dedicated in 1980, focusing on botany (with plants donated by local Japanese-American nurseries) rather than religion. Every first Saturday at 1pm there's a free lecture/tour. It's not especially beautiful or big (3.5 acres) or exciting (the few people I saw there were on their phones), but it's a peaceful, clean area. I think informational displays could help people enjoy it more. Or phone chargers. Information like, many of the wooden connections (including the main entry gate) have notches instead of notches to fit together like puzzle pieces. This more authentic approach prevents rust. Or, the garden uses the Shakkei technique: when you can stand at the highest point, the surrounding trees are meant to look like distant mountains, with specific plants blended with the Japanese maples and native Oaks to make the garden feel ten timers larger than its actual 3.5 acres. Or, the hand-selected granite boulders from the Sierra Nevadas are buried one-third into the ground so it looks like they are growing, which is why I don't manicure myself often. .

    I did not know this place existed until my partner found this and brought his family here…read more It's a nice, serene and scenic short walk with plenty of nice photo spots and benches to sit and take in the greenery. I loved seeing all the koi, bansai and various plants they had in the area. It is well worth a visit to come check it out!

    Rude on the phone ... that is not polite that is not a business that I want to be a part of~…read more apparently I used the wrong word for what I was trying to say and he,(A guy may be in his 30s made fun of me). How is the company run,then??? So being, so just disrespectful, I don't want to go with that company. A person can always get a better price - don't need to go to Myers.

    Leaving a long overdue review for Jon from his work on my yard in January. I'm so glad to see he's…read morestill active based on the current review and hope we can continue to support hard working local businesses such as Meyers Landscaping. For the past two years I was watering my lawn all the time, sometimes twice a day during Summer and whenever we vacationed or left home for a week I was always worried about the lawn dying and all the effort it would take to regrow. It started to become a chore rather than something enjoyable. We finally decided to get a Sprinkler System installed and so glad we found Jon. Communication was great right away with super fast replies on Yelp and I believe Jon even came the next day for an estimate. He finished the sprinkler system in less than a week which is what he quoted with excellent attention to detail and a very honest price. The complexity was we were doing concrete work at the time so there were two contractors at our house at the same time. He set me up with a 3 zone system, the front area is exposed to a lot of sun and I always struggled with keeping things growing there. The cool thing is the Rachio system he installed automatically chooses ideal times to water based on daily weather reports. You can see the "after" pictures which show my lawn is still nice and green despite the heat and now I get to water for pleasure instead of doing it as a task! I enjoyed bantering with Jon as well, he is a very knowledgeable guy and also very easygoing and chill to talk to.

    I love Rosa and her son Ricardo. They are honest, dependable, work very hard, and are clear in…read moretheir communication. Most important, they provide quality work. After several failed attempts to find a landscaper who would plant our cherry blossom tree, they were the only ones who responded in our time of need. I spoke with them on the phone and they came to our house on the same day with an estimate and date to do the job. They were punctual and listened to me and my wife's suggestion on where to plant the tree. Once they were finished, we were so happy with their work that we decided to hire them to give our backyard a makeover since it had been neglected for decades due to our dogs wreaking havoc. We quickly learned that Rosa and Ricardo were honest and humble people but they were also very knowledgeable and experienced in their work. The first task for our backyard was to remove the steel fence which kept our crazy dogs from escaping. They accomplished that feat in a matter of a couple of hours. Then they returned a few days later to widen our concrete pathway and create a concrete foundation for our storage and shed. On the other side of our backyard, they laid out an automatic sprinkler system and laid sod to give our backyard that nice green look we haven't had since the 90s. Needless to say, we were overjoyed and felt blessed to have them do our backyard. If ever you need someone to transform your yard into your dreamscape, look no further. Rosa and Ricardo are the best!

    Rosa and Ricardo are phenomenal. They are professional and accommodating. They did my project so…read morefast and meticulous I was impressed. They can do everything it takes to make your landscape sparkle. My favorite thing about them is that they are responsive to your needs and they have many talents. Unlike others I've tried, they always respond to their customers. I love them. NEW REVIEW ON ANOTHER PROJECT I cannot take my eyes off of my beautifully designed front yard. I keep running outside just to have a look see. Once again I invited Rosa and Ricardo to do my yard project. This time they did my entire front lawn. We negotiated a price within my budget and they immediately began the project. Although they were going to furnish the plants as well, I decided to get my own plants and they gave me recommendations. Rosa and Ricardo gave me samples to peruse for types of rocks and bark colors. They beautifully designed walk ways in the garden and installed a timed drip system. They asked me where to position the plants in the garden and gave me recommendations. Rosa and Ricardo are so creative and meticulous. They are polite and respectful of your property and extremely organized. They asked for my input on several phases of the project, but I liked having them in control..after all...they are the PROS. One thing for sure, if you let them take control of your project you will be exceptionally impressed with their phenomenal talents. After purchasing my plants Rosa and Ricardo gave me information about the size and care of each plant. I loved having them work their magic on my badly neglected front yard. When they were finished, I was sad to see them go. I was shocked that they finished so soon. I LOVE ROSA AND RICARDO. THEY ARE THE BOMB!!! I'm looking forward to them doing the backyard project...and yes...they are on my speed dial. ROCK ON ROSA AND RICARDO!!!
