I wanna thank Lupe Perez of some really great work with her team from Green Splendor Landscaping. I will most definitely use this company again and recommend them. read more

Lupe was originally recommended to us by our local nursery for a project, and we've now hired her and her terrific crew twice, and will again for a future landscaping project. The first project was an install of UC Verde Buffalograss. This nice-looking drought tolerant grass goes in as small plugs, which we wanted pretty tightly spaced for faster/stronger growth. It's a fairly large yard, but Lupe and her crew delivered a day early and got the job done in half the time we expected. And they did a perfect job. They even went above and beyond to do a few other things without charge. They also ask to make sure you're happy with everything before they wrap up, and they leave your place nice and clean. After both projects they've done for us so far, Lupe checked in to see if we had any follow-up questions or issues, and even visited just to make sure everything was looking good. We also really appreciate her honesty. She and her whole crew are knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. A real pleasure to work with. read more

The owner Lupe was wonderful to work with. She gave us a reasonable estimate and was communicative throughout the course of the job. Her employees were respectful, thorough, and efficient. read more

Spoke to Lupe. Very personable on phone. Promised to email me with some ideas the following day. I didn't really expect anything quite that fast but I never heard from her again. I'm not interested in chasing someone down that I would be paying a great deal of money. I guess they have all the business they need. (I've found someone who's interested in working with us and taking my cash.) read more

Overall, I had a positive experience working with Lupe and her team. She gave expert advice in terms of working with the city and finding out what was possible for my front landscaping. Lupe is very knowledgeable on city regulations and this helped in terms of finalizing the project. Her team worked efficiently and the install went smoothly. The landscaping is neat, attractive, and practical for my needs. Thanks! read more

I hired Green Splendor Landscaping to build a two level wall with French drains on my steep back hill and then install drought tolerant plants, as well as some other smaller projects. Maggie and Lupe were both great to work with. Lupe and her crew did a great job in both communicating the process and informing me of all project activity. Whenever I had any issues, Lupe would come by, usually within 24 hours. I think the wall looks terrific and can't wait for those plants to grow in so we can see the final product. Thanks ladies! read more

I contacted Lupe from Green Splendor Landscaping for some suggestions on my backyard. I had a path made of broken concrete slabs with dirt between them. The rest of my path was mostly dirt. I wanted to cut down on having to constantly sweep up dirt and deal with mud after rains. We decided on pea gravel for the concrete path and decompressed granite for the rest of it. I have just gone through many days of rain and my path is not only beautiful and natural, but I don't have the clean up anymore. They did a great job in a few days. Thank you Lupe and crew. read more

I've been putting off writing this review but now I feel compelled. This review is NOT a reflection of Maggie and her design, or the crew. Instead, it's a reflection of the poor communication I've experienced throughout a project that should have been completed in October of last year. As another reviewer advised, please check your contract agreement and billings carefully. I, too, was overcharged in the design bill and had to flag the error for Lupe, which she corrected. I'm happy with the design, price and initial installation. However, it quickly became clear that the existing irrigation system that was repaired by Lupe's crew was not sufficient for my yard. Specifically, I notified Lupe that the water did not reach the bottom portion of my lawn. Why would I spend thousands of dollars on new landscaping if only part of it was going to be effectively watered? When I contacted Lupe after the installation, she told me they were too busy with other projects and an assessment would have to wait until February. I reluctantly acquiesced, only because the rains at that time were providing sufficient water for the lawn. Despite Lupe telling me she would follow-up with me in February, I didn't hear from her, so I initiated contact. She agreed to send her crew out in mid-April to assess the irrigation system. The crew came the week of April 16. I waited to hear from Lupe but nothing. I contacted her on April 26 to inquire. She responded on April 27 and said she would speak to her crew and get back to me "ASAP". Despite two follow-up emails from me, each a week apart, I've received nothing but an automatic reply that stated she would respond to the email in 48 hours. That was 7 days ago. In the meantime, my front yard - for which I paid Green Splendor Landscaping thousands of dollars - is only partially watered and portions are dying. read more

We called Lupe on recommendation from Armstrong Garden Center, for a landscaping job around a new pool. It wasn't terribly complicated; just grass, some rocks, and mulch, but included a LOT of labor to get the ground level and bring in amended soil for the sod and the large planting bed. OH and the irrigation system had to be newly reconfigured since the pool construction had chopped it all up! The crew showed up before 7 am the next day, and worked like crazy, despite the 103º temps. They rested a lot and had some shade, but worked really hard. Day 2 was laying sod and rocks and m ulch, and they were done, and had the place party-ready by 1 pm!!! It was amazing how quickly and professionally they worked, and Lupe got it all organized. We'll definitely use her company again. Only drawback: no credit cards. read more

The whole Green Splendor Landscaping team is awesome! I initially called the company about some 'pot landscaping' I wanted to do in the front and back of my house. When I met with Lupe Perez I showed her my property and told her my objectives and ideas. She offered suggestions I hadn't considered and once she figured out my tastes, it was smooth sailing! Lupe is knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and thorough. She goes above and beyond (did a couple of things without charge). Her crew is respectful, punctual and cleans up thoroughly when done. In addition, her pricing is very fair. I've since had some trees trimmed and intend to have some more done in the fall when the weather cools. I highly recommend Lupe and her team at Green Splendor. They are TOP NOTCH!! read more

Lupe and her team did a nice job installing DG pathways in our yard. We will use her services again!

Lousy execution and project management. What landscaper comes without a hose. Lupe's guys. Popped two hoses that they did not replace. We now need to hire someone again to move plants. Lupe took a Century Agava off our property worth $500....we managed the job the best we could due to her incompetence .... her guys cut the power to our electric gate. You name it. Our 17K yard is now a mess and needs to be redone. Hard to look at everyday read more

I hired Green Splendor Landscaping to install drought tolerant garden in my small backyard. Lupe and her crew did a great job in both communicating the process and informing me of all project activity. Her pricing was very reasonable and her crew 8 very professional and friendly bunch. read more

I had Lupe and Maggie design and re-landscape my entire front, side, and back yards. Maggie is great to work with and she captured exactly what I was going for in her design. Lupe was very good about accommodating my schedule and If there were any problems or design issues, she made sure to get them taken care of right away. Everything turned out great and I am very happy to have worked with them both. read more

We were so happy with the excellent work Lupe and her crew did for us in creating a new ramp for our church. The city we are in created many obstacles but Lupe tirelessly worked to get the job done and was willing to work with us in creating many different designs until we landed on one that worked for everyone. She and her workers really put themselves into the job and created a beautiful, workable, quality ramp. We hope to work with her more with other designs around our property. Highly recommended! read more

The overall project really looks nice. Maggie's choices are great in terms of plants and design. Lupe was on top of permits and plans. The crew was polite and cleaned up each day. I do think the hardscape work could have been somewhat improved in detail but the overall look is appealing. read more

I have over 20 years experience in commercial landscaping as professional. I had a chance to work with Lupe and her team with few projects. Her knowledge, being good listener and attention to detail make goes everything smoothly. If you are being her client, you could count yourself one of the luckiest customer in this world. Her prices are really fair, for the services that she is providing. read more

Well, here is what happened. We went to Armstrong Nursery here in Pasadena, looking for assistance in re-sodding our backyard. They agreed to put together a contract, utilizing Green Splendor to do the work. Lupe came out and gave us an estimate to do the work required. She quoted us a separate charge to rototill the lawn area. Not being knowledgeable in yard work, we agreed to the overall proposal, which included replanting a pathway "very densely with dymondia." My wife very clearly said (and Lupe agreed) that we were not going to go with a planting that would eventually fill in. We agreed that we would put dymondia very densely, covering the spaces between the stepping stones. When we received the order she placed with Armstrong, there were roughly 1/14 of the required dymondia. We raised an issue immediately, as this didn't seem to be what was agreed in the quote. We subsequently removed that part of the job entirely, as she tried to blame Armstrong for providing a sparse planting, that would eventually fill in. Her crew proceeded to do the sod installation. Also, in discussing the dymondia situation, she offered to "sell around" her partner Armstrong, and offered to get us a much better price than the "expensive" Armstrong. On installation, her crew was here for 3 1/2 hours, and the total labor charges were to be $840. We also found that her "crew" (two guys), utilizing 2 shovels, 2 rakes and a rototiller laid the sod, but did NOT roll it (as most installation directions recommend) plus they dumped the excess dirt from the sod installation on top of our ferns and flower beds, tromping down a lot of plantings. Upon discussing the situation with Armstrong, the said to definitely NOT pay any extras to Lupe, and they would deal with her "selling around" them as a partner. So, we found them to be inexperienced as installers (no rolling of sod, dumping excess dirt into surrounding flower beds, thus destroying many plants), and not ethical partners with Armstrong Nursery. Fortunately, Armstrong was very honest, and upright. We would strongly recommend against using Lupe and her crew. read more

This service is great! Very professional, prompt & quality work. I hired Green Splendor to clear a very large over grown lot next to my home. They brought an experienced team, the needed equipment and did a great job. I recommend them for challenging jobs. read more

We recently bought 9 new cypress trees from Armstrong in La Canada to replace trees that had died due to a very poor installation a few years ago. (Never buy trees from one of those places off the side of the freeway that claim to be "wholesale"). The trees cost a bit more, but came with a great warranty. We also paid them to have their recommended contractor (Green Splendor Landscaping) install them. A week later, Lupe from Green Splendor came to our house to inspect the area where the trees would be planted. We discussed topping the existing trees, removing the dead ones, and planting the new ones. Since we had already paid for the planting, she gave us an estimate of the additional cost for topping and removal, which seemed like a very fair price. She was very attentive and listened to our concerns, as we had already lost half of our trees due to a poor installation. The work was performed in a very careful manner, and the workers were very fast. Once they finished with the installation, they did a thorough job of cleaning up. Everything looks great now. Wish we knew about Lupe and her company years ago! She would have saved us a lot of time and money (not to mention aggravation). read more

We hired Green Splendor Landscaping to do some privacy trees along the fence for our backyard. Lupe the owner is very knowledgeable, oh so nice and thorough with our backyard project. The landscapers did a great job installing and cleaning up. Everything looks very nice and clean. We will definitely use them for any future landscaping work. read more

Lupe and her crew were fantastic. Not only did they complete the job in the time specified, but they did great work as well. I made Lupe aware up front of some time constraints we had, and she completed the work on schedule, and as promised. Her team was prompt, friendly, and thorough. In addition, their pricing was very fair. I definitely plan on retaining them for future landscape jobs at my house! read more

Highest Quality, Friendly and Budget Conscious Lupe Perez and all the staff at Green Splendor are fantastic to work with and their efficient friendly service delivers a high quality project on time and on budget. This was our first project with Green Splendor and included landscape/hardscape repair to a pebble and paver walkway that had been damage by a water main leak and repairs to a slope drainage system that had never performed properly since fist installed. Several other contractors had looked at the project and had provided proposals that were either very costly or would fail to achieve the look and function required. Lupe took a very different approach. Instead of starting all over, her proposal effectively worked with what was existing - significantly lower the cost and delivering a project that satisfied a high aesthetic standard and that performs beautifully. Instead of the many days that were estimated by other landscapers, Green Splendor's experience and efficient team completed the project in just a few hours. The staff worked well with me to make some minor changes as the work was being done, and together with Lupe we were even able to address some problems from the original walkway and slope drainage system installation. The front walkway looks better than it ever has and the slope drainage system has, for the first time, performed perfectly following heavy rains. Equally impressive was the high level of customer service Green Splendor provided. The landscaping staff didn't leave until I was happy with the work and Lupe followed up to make sure I was 100% satisfied. The hardest part of any project is finding the right contractor and team to work with. I am happy to give my highest recommendation to Green Splendor Landscaping for high quality results, delivered on time and on budget. Randy M - Altadena read more

I'm stating up front that I am a very "hard sell" with high expectations, so for me to give a rating of 4 out of 5, that IS about as good as it gets...there's always room for improvement, but I wouldn't be submitting a positive review unless I could stand behind it. Lupe and her crew have been working on my front yard project off and on for the past six months, and she has patiently guided me through the water smart turf rebate application process. Her designer and she came to my home a couple of times to meet with me, and after lengthy consultations, they submitted two drawings representing hardy drought-tolerant plants to replace the lawn in my front yard. I liked plants from both designs, so we ended up with a "hybrid" design. After a few false starts (on my part...Lupe and her crew were ready to work, but they were very patient), the grass was removed quickly and the dirt was sprayed to prevent regrowth. I was surprised by how efficient her crew was - they had the grass cut, removed, and the area cleaned up in about 4 hours. This is a hard-working team!! A few weeks later, the drought tolerant plants were ready for installation. It was disappointing that not all the plants I selected as part of the "hybrid" design were available, but Lupe suggested several comparable plants that were in keeping with the design. The plants arrived in two separate orders, so the crew worked a full day the first day of installation and then returned for a second day to finish the installation. There were more than 60 plants in all, and the crew was, again, very efficient! I opted to use decomposed granite instead of bark, and am very happy with that decision...I also added 5 large boulders which Lupe sourced for me. She was great about sending me photos as visual references along the way which was a tremendous help. My drought tolerant landscaping has been in for about a month, and Lupe and I continue to stay in touch through the final rebate approval. The plants are beginning to fill in, and I'm really pleased with the decision to hire Green Splendor Landscaping...A big thank you to Lupe and her crew! read more

They designed and planted a steep, partially shady hill in our backyard and we are very pleased with their work. Lupe is very friendly, polite and her estimate was very reasonable. Maggie is very knowledgeable about plants and soil and did an excellent job redesigning our garden using existing plants along with new ones. We recommend them highly. read more

Lupe Perez and her staff are fantastic to work with. They installed sod in our front yard today. The team is professional and very knowledgeable. The installation was meticulous. The best part was working with Lupe leading up to today. She reassured me each step of the way that the project would be completed today, as scheduled, even though we added the parkway at the last minute. The entire project went smoothly from beginning to end. Thank you Green Splendor Landscaping, a fabulous company to work with. read more

I was referred Green Splendor Landscaping by my local Armstrong Garden Center. I needed to have a side yard redone which involved site grading and the installation of "DG", bender board, and fresh topsoil for planting areas. Lupe came out and went over the job with me and gave me a very reasonable bid. She requested half the estimate up front and then scheduled the work. Her crew did a great job. They were prompt, courteous, did a perfect job on the installation and the clean up. The end results look great and I am very happy with their work. I would recommend them and would use them again. read more

Lupe and her team were a breath of fresh air! I hired Lupe (with Maggie's help) to design and re-landscape my back yard with drought tolerant plants. They did a beautiful job, and everything was quick, easy, and very reasonable. They arrived on time, never failed to show up, and cleaned up every speck of dirt and plant material. When a few plants died in the big heatwave, Lupe replaced two large plants and hauled away the dead plants. I would use her again in a heartbeat! read more

Lupe and the gardeners were a pleasure to work with and did an excellent job removing the brush/weeds from the property and sprucing up the yard. Very easy to schedule, organized, and the yard looks like new. Highly recommend them if you need to bring out your yard's natural green splendor! Thank you, Lupe! read more

Lupe Perez is the best! She doesn't waste time, she is confident with her suggestions and what a communicator! There is NOT one unfavorable thing I can say- Lupe's crew is great, work done on schedule and she worked very well with Armstrong Nursery. I live in San Francisco and my property is in Glendale ,CA. Lupe sent pictures not only of the final product but in stages as her crew was working to keep me 'virtually' informed. I trusted Lupe completely to transformed the property to a welcoming and happy place to live and for the neighbors to enjoy! Carol read more

Lupe and her team just completed the re-landscaping of our backyard. We wanted to take advantage of the California rebate for drought tolerant landscaping and we were impressed by her drought-tolerant design at a neighbor's house. Lupe was very responsive and came by within a couple of days. She knew a lot about the rebate program and was very helpful in explaining the details about the county's process. She had great communication and was very transparent about the various stages of the project. She was also very mindful of staying within our budget, which was important. Her designer, Maggie, was very knowledgable about native and drought tolerant plants and helped us to define our design preferences. She was also flexible in working with our existing plants and stones. Overall, Lupe delivered on the promised timeline and our yard looks great. She even took our final pictures for us to submit for the reimbursement. Only critique would be that she doesn't take cards (only check), but is flexible when accepting payment. We were very happy with their services and would highly recommend! read more

They did a great job at a reasonabe price. They always showed up on time (actualy early). Did both front and back in under a month ( we requested 2 week delay after grass was removed to kill any grass that grew back). Lupe at Greeen Splendor was super. She always followed up and was very responsive. One of the most postive experiences I have had with a contractor. Highly recommended read more

Lupe recently completed our back yard re-landscaping project, and we are extremely pleased with her services. We removed a large amount of grass from our yard in order to create a more drought tolerant landscape. Lupe assisted us in measuring our yard in order to submit our application for the turf removal rebate program. She ensured that we met the program requirements, while also overseeing the installation of the project. Her designer Maggie was a joy to work with as well, as she created a design that really suited our vision for the yard. We were pleased with all aspects of the project (grass removal, hardscape, irrigation, and plants), and would recommend Green Splendor to anyone looking for great landscaping services. read more

Lupe was awesome & we are so happy with our landscaping! Everyone was punctual & professional. Highly recommend!

Lupe, Maggie and the crew turned out a most professional work product. The price was right and the plant choices were lovely!
