Although this is our first review of Eco-Greenscape, we have had Brad and his crew out to our house in Vista three times since 2007. The first time was for a total backyard makeover. When we purchased our house, the backyard lacked personality, color and excitement. My wife and I called several companies and had several estimates done. Their plans were not that impressive and getting them to work with other folks was impossible. Brad from Eco-Greenscape put together an amazing landscape plan, including coordinating the addition of a spa with a deck, a built in BBQ, cement work, patio cover and fire pit. When finished, our backyard became a place my wife and I could enjoy and actually use daily. Brad gave us the personal touch, the communication was great and we knew where we were every step of the project. The crew he had over working at the house were very professional and worked their tails off, truly a great group of guys. And, the price was right. A few years later, we had Brad come in and work on our front yard and lawn which was in need of help. Again, the same experience. Good folks coming out to the house, working hard for a fair price and Brad always keeping us in the loop. Fast forward to February 2014. My wife and I had received e-mails from Eco-Greenscape about a total "Yard Blitz" throughout the years. We needed it this year. I called Brad and asked if he and his company were still doing the program. Brad said yes and was out the house very quickly and once again, gave us the personal touch, taking the time to listen to our requests and designing a plan that was simply beautiful. The tress, plants and shrubs were trimmed, the yard cleaned up to perfection, new plants were planted in place of those we wanted replaced and the backyard again looks amazing. Brad took his time and sent us pictures of plants he thought would work well in certain places. Brad truly has an amazing eye for creating a beautiful living yard for us to enjoy. The crew that works for Eco-Greenscape are some of the hardest working and nicest folks you will ever meet. When finished with the trimming, clean-up and replanting, they went through our drip system and landscape lighting system making sure everything was in good shape before finishing the job. My wife and I can't say enough good things about this company. From start to finish, for at least the eight years we have used them, our projects came out simply amazing, at a price that is more that fair. read more

Do not use this business. The customer service is awful, the lack of oversight is deplorable, the quality of work is bad. I hired David Diaz to do a $25,000 job on my back yard, I got hoodwinked by a slick talker who promised everything and delivered a mess. Here is a short list: I have had 27 plants die, most of them because the drip line had inadequate pressure and no water was going to those plants; some larger plants died because the water was inadequate (it seems all plants given the same water as the succulents). I had 12 succulents die because there was no gopher wire protection as agreed upon. I also lost a tree from inadequate gopher protection. The retaining wall does not retain at one end and the bank has fallen on top of it. The drainage system only works on 2/3's of the garden, the other third completely flooded in the heavy rains pouring into the fountain and drowning plants; it also stops half way down the drive instead of the normal position at the sidewalk, this despite my at least twice requesting it be extended, David refused. There is a dip in the patio that retains water when it rains. He installed a fountain that was not the one I had OK'd, but one he substituted without my consent, I hated it and forced him to remove it; I then went and purchased a fountain and he installed that one. He then expected me to pay the full price of the fountain I had not wanted and didn't get. He charged me $1500 for the fountain and I paid all but the last $400. I refused to pay that since I had purchased the fountain myself. Because of this he has refused to correct any of the problems, or even respond. This is just a short list, I have plenty more. read more

Eco-Greenscape just finished a low-maintenance, low-water-use landscape project for us. They did the design and their crew did the implementation. This was a 'redo' of the landscaping that existed when we bought the house. The design was done to 'recycle' as many existing elements in the yard as possible, including some of the plants, a long wooden fence, and small rocks in some of the planting areas. So, it was something of a hybrid: new look using new and existing elements. It also was cost effective since not all of the old yard had to be replaced. The fence was not attractive and needed maintenance. They were able to clean it up, shore it up, paint it and make it attractive. They also kept mature plants that were water wise, but trimmed them to provide a more interesting appearance. They installed an 'industrial grade' drip irrigation system to replace the old, inefficient spray system. The new succulents and other low-water-use plants that were added mesh perfectly with the existing plants that were kept to create a homogeneous and good-looking yard, one that should grow in beautifully and be attractive to hummingbirds, while requiring much less water and very little maintenance. The designer (Brad Gore) and the crew were friendly, easy to deal with, creative, efficient. They carefully considered our requirements and requests in doing the design and implementation. We felt that it was a collaborative effort all the way. Will we use them again? Absolutely. read more

Our experience with Eco-Greenscape this past October was exceptionally pleasant. Charlie Tzompantzi, who managed our landscaping project, was very professional and knowledgeable. He listened to our thoughts regarding the general theme of the design and provided expert information regarding both plant and hard material, drainage and irrigation; all of which translated into a lovely Mediterranean,water wise motif. We were impressed with Charlie's management of the project. He was clear in his estimate of costs and the anticipated progression of the work and it's completion both of which were accomplished as projected. Contractual elements of the project were done in a clear and timely manner. Charlie was considerate of our neighbors personally contacting them regarding his crews' work schedules, extra cars on the street, material being delivered and the presence of a porta-potty on the property. The neighbors were pleased to have been notified. The Eco-Greenscape work crew were on time every day, worked had and efficiently, were pleasant and considerate and left our property clean and tidy. In all, we are highly satisfied with this company and have authorized it to use photos of our property as reference to others considering a landscape project. Linda read more

We worked with Brad at Eco-Greenscape. He designed our project and followed through the whole project which was done efficiently and as planned. The workers were pleasant to have around and worked hard. Our project was a re-do of landscaping which required removal of cement on three sides of our home and installation of flagstone, artificial turf, planting or new plants, refurbishing some plantings, installing a water efficient watering system and automatic lighting. Once they started, they didn't stop until it was finished. All is very nicely done. read more
