We started with a Zoom consultation where I was able to walk him through the property and the scope of the project. Bryan is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to, making the whole process seamless. ​What stood out most was his professionalism and transparency. Even when our Zoom connection dropped, he called me immediately to finish the conversation without missing a beat. He was also very honest about the value of different tree sizes, guiding me toward the right functional solution rather than just pushing the most expensive option. It's rare to find that level of integrity!

I originally connected with them through Thumbtack for a sizable project and scheduled an appointment for Thursday, June 4th at 11:00 a.m. The appointment was canceled just 20 minutes before they were due to arrive. To salvage the opportunity, the salesperson, Chris, texted me and offered to come the following day at noon instead, along with a 5% discount for the inconvenience. I rearranged my schedule twice to accommodate them during what was already an exceptionally difficult time, as I was preparing to say goodbye to my 16-year-old dog that weekend. Chris did arrive on Friday as promised, but a week has now passed and I have received neither a bid nor any follow-up communication from anyone at the company. Shortly after the appointment, their Thumbtack profile was also removed or hidden. While I can't say why, the timing was odd, as it prevented me from leaving a review on the platform where we originally connected. I've uploaded screenshots with this review documenting the interaction, including Chris's last-minute cancellation, his offer of a 5% discount, and the Thumbtack notification showing the company was no longer available on the platform. If reliability, communication, and follow-through are important to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

Our project involved a new driveway, several retaining walls, flag stone, leveling the yard, drainage, irrigation and planting. We had a general idea of what we were looking for, but Roland made the process easy to take our ideas and turn them into a finished product. Given his years of doing this he was also a good one to enhance what we we wanted to do, or alternatively tell us "that is not a good idea". We were on a timeline to get the job done and he was able to deliver. One thing that is really helpful with Newland Landscape is that he has multiple crews working. This allows him to shift resources around as needed. I think we had people at the house working every day, and some Saturdays. In our experience this is a rariety with many contractors. We had to do our work as well, staying ahead of him picking out materials, plants, etc. but with that he was able to stay on track with our need. I would highly recommend Roland and Newland landscape for medium to large jobs.

I am looking to have a small 10x26 pool put into my tiny backyard. From the beginning, I had the feeling that my project wasn't big enough or flashy enough for Calimingo to care. I signed multiple estimates before anyone would even agree to come out and take a look at my property. I repeatedly emphasized that my property was dramatically different than the last google earth satellite shots. When I got the first "design", it was the wrong size and didn't reflect my actual backyard at all. They basically just sent me a computer rendering of a random pool in a barren representation of my old yard. It felt like my small project was not worth the time to talk to me or send someone out to meet with me and take measurements or just take a look at my project. Finally, a site supervisor reached out to make an appointment to actually see and design a pool for me. I told him I had been disappointed with my experience thus far and he reassured me that I was now in good hands and that I'd be dazzled from now on. THEN HE NO SHOWED! Can you believe it? This guy went on and on about how he was going to change my perception of Calimingo and then he didn't show up or even text to say he couldn't make it. Hours later, he sent me a half hearted apology saying his meetings overlapped... our meeting was for 7:30 am... the first of the day. A week later, Sean calls me back asking to set up an appointment, completely clueless that this other guy no call no showed. I felt bad for Sean - he was very apologetic and had been very professional up to this point. I ended up going with a local San Diego pool builder with amazing customer service who didn't mind coming out and meeting with me for my measly 200k pool.

The crew was there consistently, and the overall quality of the work was good. As with any project of this size, there were some hiccups and moments of frustration along the way, but Joseph worked with us to address the issues and ultimately resolved everything to our satisfaction. We also had a few warranty issues with the Pentair equipment several months after completion, and Joseph remained responsive and prompt about getting those sorted out. In the end, the backyard turned out great, and I appreciate that Joseph continued to stand behind his work after the project was finished.

In the Spring of 2020 we decided our front yard and driveway needed a major overhaul. After…read morecontacting several landscapers, we settled on Mirage. We have used a few other landscapers since our home was built in 1985, but Mirage has been the best by far, from design to implementation, and follow up. Joseph recommended suppliers and went with us on several occasions to select both hardscape and plantings. During construction, a newly installed water line from the street burst at about 4 am. I shut of the main valve at the street and called Joseph in a near panic as we were scheduled to take a trip to Catalina Island in a few hours. He told us to go a ahead, and it was repaired well before we returned home. Turned out the problem was due to a defective batch or pipe adhesive, as verified by another plumber. Very recently (i.e. 5.5 years later) we noticed the expansion gap filler at the low end of out driveway needed replacement. Once the recent rains subsided, Joseph had it replaced for no charge to us. People who visit our home make comments on how nice the drive-way, walk-way and plantings look, and folks just walking by often stop just to look. We give Joseph our highest possible recommendation.
