After searching for a contractor that was reliable and reasonably priced, we came across Cal South…read more Mike and his team built our retaining wall exactly how we envisioned it back in 2024. We then hired them to completely demo and remodel our front and back yard a year later. We provided the plan and Mike added some ideas through his experience to make our vision come to life. He stayed flexible during the whole process and maintained communication so we were always in the loop! Mike prides himself on the quality of his work and it shows. Work completed by CalSouth: - complete demo - retaining wall - all form work and concrete pours - dg, rock, flagstone, sod, and mulch install - installed post for sail shades - planted plants we provided - irrigation for our lawn and raised beds We would recommend CalSouth to anyone that has landscaping needs!

I needed a new lawn and got my standard five bids for the job. Michael stood out for all of his…read moreinitial input on the options and then for the details of his bid. He was the only one who detailed every item involved in the bid, including update of irrigation. I've had issues in the past with bids for other projects that I assumed included the little details but didn't and then I had to pay extra. Michael's bid included every detail in writing that you would assume would be a part of a new lawn job and it was very reasonable. He also showed up on time for the initial appointment! His crew was great! Their work was very detailed and clean. The job was done within three days and all of the work area, including the driveway, was cleaned up. They even noted my falling-apart fence gate so Michael gave me a very reasonable quote and they did a great job fixing it for me. There were a lot of details for after-care and I've texted Michael multiple times to confirm. He texts back quickly and I never get the impression he's annoyed (I've sent a lot of texts!). I almost wish I had more yard renovations so that I could hire him again! I did discuss a whole-yard mulch job and will absolutely hire Michael when I'm ready for that. No more getting multiple bids for future yard renovations. I'll just call Michael.

Michael and his team worked hard to get our project done in time. Even though we were adding to our…read moredesign, Michael had solutions for us throughout our project. We had our design done through Armstrong Garden Center and I liked their design but the bids we were getting with their landscapers were a lot higher than Michael's bid. Also, he was very knowledgeable. He came to do our estimate and we were impressed with his explanation about how he was going to run our water and electrical. No one else who came to give a bid gave a good solution or just didn't know how to do that. So the combination of a good bid and confidence in his knowledge of landscaping made this an easy choice. But best of all, he and his crew delivered on everything that was in the design plus things we decided to add. Now we actually enjoy being in our garden. Thank you!

After finally admitting defeat in our battle with gophers, we decided it was time to replace the…read moresod in our backyard, add gopher wire underneath, and install artificial turf around our pool. We interviewed three companies and ultimately chose Villanuevas Landscape for two main reasons. First, the owner, Andres, personally came to our home to assess the scope of the project and address our questions about adding gopher wire under the sod to mitigate the gopher issue. Second, his pricing was very reasonable compared to the other estimates we received. The entire project was completed in just two days. Andres actively managed the project from start to finish, and his crew worked efficiently while paying close attention to detail. They were respectful of our property throughout the process and made sure the work area was clean at the end of each day. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Villanuevas Landscape to anyone looking for quality landscaping work. We'll definitely be using them again for future projects!

Duy and Johnny both came out to our house to get a feel for what we were looking for, giving insightful advice on plant types, design and general maintenance. We got several quotes for the work and choose Johnny's based on price, overall professionalism and ability to schedule our work in a timely fashion. They were very patient with us as we changed our mind a couple times before the installation. Duy in particular was easy to communicate with and was awesome at answering our many questions. Their crew fully demoed, leveled and installed new plant material, sod, mulch, bender board and boulders all in a single day. It was incredible to leave for work with an uneven dirt patch and come home to a gorgeous, fully remodeled front yard. We've had many neighbors stop by already with glowing reviews. We're overall very satisfied and would recommend them for any remodeling projects!

The house has been maintained by my regular gardener but he is retiring. I need a regular recurring service.

His design was way better than what we'd been thinking, it looks so good. He was always easy to get ahold of, was really patient with the various changes we kept making, and made sure that every detail was taken care of so that we were totally happy with the end result. I also really appreciated how he always suggested cost effective options to help us stick to our budget. And to top it all off, at the end they realized we'd overpaid by $1000 and sent us a check we hadn't even asked for or realized we were due!
