In fact, his proposal included everything needed to properly prepare and establish a healthy lawn, while other estimates we received were significantly more expensive and included less. Michael recommended St. Augustine grass because we have a large dog, and within a week, his team was ready to start the project. He explained the entire process ahead of time and gave me detailed guidance about the watering schedule, mowing schedule, and recommended equipment for maintaining the new lawn.

He listened carefully to every concern I had and made sure everything was addressed properly. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and they even installed a fence that we provided to protect the new lawn from foot traffic and our dog while it gets established.

After comparing several companies and estimates, I am very happy that we chose Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance. We received a better, more complete project at a very competitive price.

Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with.

EcoGardeners are the absolute top notch in yard care. They are incredibly knowledgeable and truly care about their clients, homes and gardens. Both Pete and Jim are very professional, excellent communicators who respond immediately to phone calls and emails. Both are very well educated about plants and their health. EcoGardeners have been "caring" for my yard now for 9 months and I have had nothing less than a positive, enjoyable experience learning from them and watching my yard transform into a healthy, well maintained landscape. They have helped to lower my water bill with proper sprinkler systems and treat my landscape with whatever eco-friendly "cocktail" is needed for its health and beauty. I love that I do not have to hear motors and blowers and that my plants are trimmed by hand, not only for their beauty, but for their health and correct growth as well. If you are looking for a quick mow, blow and go....these are not the people for you. These are professional, highly educated landscape caretakers with a wealth of knowledge to help your landscape look its best. read more
