Let us start by saying that our new yard is amazing beyond any of our expectations and we could not…read morebe happier! Merrill was referred to us by my sister who works for a paving stone company because she'd seen some of Merrill's work at her sites and knew she would be a fit for our needs. We wanted to take out all of our turf (more than 1,000 sq. ft. in the front and back yard) and replace it with California natives and drought tolerant plant varieties. This type of work happens to be Merrill's forte and passion! She worked with our budget, helped us secure our home owner's association approval and our county's turf removal rebate with her detailed plans, and gave us a gorgeous yard that will only get better with time! She even specially designed a desert habitat for our pet tortoise! We were also grateful for her patience while we worked out issues on our end (like having the county inspectors pre-approve and post-inspect the work) and was able to schedule her crew around our needs. After the project was finished she met with us and took the time to review all of the plant care and maintenance and even provided us with helpful tools and eco-friendly products to keep our yard looking its best. We feel very lucky to have met such an enthusiastic landscape designer! If we are ever in need of landscape deisgn in the future we will definitely be calling on her talents once again!

I love my new gardeners! Juan Rangel is the owner of BloomWorks Landscape. His crew of men and the…read moreadministrative team he has working for him are all wonderful. Juan is meticulous and highly detailed. He mapped my irrigation, and created a thorough plant map, with photos. My weekly maintenance crew, Lissandro and Rodrigo, are enthusiastic, hard working, and fun to have here. Martin and Andy, who are not part of my regular crew, came to help after hours when I had a planting emergency, and stayed until they got the job done. They, too, were cheerful, hard working, and fun. I have never had a better team caring for my garden. I recommend them highly. BloomWorks Landscape - (818) 522-2476

Bloom Works absolutely saved the day for me…read more I am an event planner and was in a major time crunch after an event when the company that was originally supposed to handle the hay clean-up from a snow activation completely walked away from the job. The situation was urgent and my client was (understandably) breathing down my neck to get it handled immediately. I reached out to Bloom Works (they're also our personal home gardeners and were very happy with the work they do for us there!) and they could not have been more responsive. They jumped into action, showed up quickly, and handled the clean-up efficiently and thoroughly. The end result was fantastic, and my client was genuinely impressed not only with the outcome, but with the professionalism and quality of the team who arrived on site. If you need a crew that is reliable, fast, and truly delivers, Bloom Works is the real deal. I'm beyond grateful and will absolutely call them again for my event needs!

I hired Herencia Landscaping to build a 25' x 25' backyard basketball court for my family, which…read moreincluded the concrete pad, hoop installation, proper drainage and sloping, electrical for a game light, and relocating some existing plants. 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.

Herencia Landscaping recently installed some drainage around my house. The area in which they had…read moreto work in made it a challenging job, and the property was on a hill so that amount that they had to dig was significant. In short, this was no small job. 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.

We hired Regal Landscaping & Construction for a pretty big job -- full concrete removal, a new…read morepatio, and an irrigation system -- and the end result is great. The patio looks fantastic and the irrigation has been working perfectly. Joseph came out to give us the quote and was our main point of contact throughout. He's responsive over text, which we appreciated. He wasn't on site most days himself, but his crew did solid work and were friendly guys. They happened to be working through a heat wave, and it was grueling, but they always seemed to be in great spirits. The project did take longer than expected, and we had to follow up and check in at times to keep things moving. They're clearly in demand. If you hire them -- which I wholeheartedly recommend -- just stay in touch and don't be shy about checking in. Joseph obviously cared about us being happy with the outcome, and we are. The finished work speaks for itself. Thanks to Joseph and his team!

We had an amazing experience with this landscaping and construction company! They completely…read moretransformed our backyard and front entry with beautiful pavers, and the results exceeded our expectations. From the initial preparation to the final installation, the team was professional, hardworking, and paid close attention to every detail. They took the time to properly prepare the foundation, kept the work area clean, and made sure everything was done right. The paver installation is flawless, and the finished project looks absolutely beautiful. What impressed us most was their communication, reliability, and commitment to quality. They showed up on time, answered all of our questions, and treated our home with care and respect throughout the entire project. If you're looking for a company that delivers excellent craftsmanship and truly cares about customer satisfaction, I highly recommend them. We couldn't be happier with the final result and would definitely hire them again for future projects!

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!

These guys did a wonderful job on both my driveway and a patio in my backyard after I decided to…read morefill in my pool. (They had also done an excellent job on the pool deck five years earlier, before I knew I was going to fill in the pool.) 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.

Her team tore out a bizarre chunk of cement we had previously and created an entirely new walkway and installed a new irrigation system beyond the obvious plant/gravel facelift. The whole project was incredibly smooth and communication was excellent. We even came in under the originally projected budget! (How many companies actually tell you when your project ends up costing less?) Would 1000% recommend Celtic and would work with again. Can't wait to see it all grow in!

I can't say enough about Helen and her team. For what it's worth, when I first came across her yelp…read morepage, I figured she was probably out of my price range just by the quality of work that I was seeing in photos of her work. I was so glad that I reached out anyway just to ask, because it turned out her bid was very much in line with the other quotes I was getting, while clearly being a step above in quality. Helen and her team helped with a relatively large project - rehabbing a slope behind our property that had become barren, building a set of staircases, and replanting our front yard space. From start to finish, Helen was a joy to work with, continually going above and beyond to make sure the project went as well as it possibly could, all while being conscious of our budget. She was collaborative, informative, kind, and generally just a pleasure to work with, and every member of her team was the same. I've already recommended her to family members and neighbors, and am excited to keep working with her for years to come.
