He did an estimate on the same day in the afternoon. I was very pleased with his pricing and went ahead with Jose. There were two estimates as I am not sure if I can afford the landscaping work; one was to clean up then after it was clean up I shared with him the style I like which is low maintenance by adding small rocks as shown in the insert. I am pleased with his work and his team.

Will and his team at Sequoia did a fantastic job on our front and back yard in San Carlos, CA.

While I love all the work they did, I was particularly impressed with their artificial grass installation. They did a flawless job installing, to the point where you would have no idea where the seam is between the 2 large pieces of grass they installed. Very impressive work. our project was done in less than 2 weeks which was also surprising. Couldn't recommend these guys more.

We cannot say enough good things about Nato Vargas and his excellent team. They did extensive…read moredrainage work for us in 2014: lowering back garden soil level 4 inches, digging and installing several french drains and installing a sump pump. We've had no water accumulation during subsequent rainy seasons, protecting our foundation. Nato and crew also helped install our beautiful pergola. The back garden is now more than a garden, it's an outdoor living space for entertaining family and friends. In 2017 and 2020, Nato's crew repaired and stained our back garden fence, resurfaced the decomposed granite paths, installed a new mail box, replaced a garden gate and built a wood shelter for our recology bins. 2023 Nato and crew replaced our gas grill line with a fabulous flexible hose that should last forever. Most recently, 2025, Nato and crew replaced and stained most of our back garden fencing and replaced a wooden post providing structural support for our front porch roof. New photos of the back garden are attached to this review. It has been a pleasure working with Nato and his team for over 20 years!

The staff out there are friendly too! The back end, where the trash goes, is where I draw issue. I may have a small amount of material that wouldn't go in a trash bag (de-constructed office chair, and a cat tree, let's say) so maybe 10-15 lbs. Well, the lowest price to get rid of those items is $65.00, which is wild to me...but there's literally no other way to get rid of stuff without breaking the law (dumping). So, consider smaller item dumps!

However, when I was a kid, my dad would take me with him to the hardware store, and I would get a lollypop while he and whomever from behind the counter would wander around looking for an eyebolt or the right shade of caulk. Giulio- who I assume is the owner, is easily 10 years older than my mom, who lives in the assisted living up the street. My mom can't be bothered to go to the chair yoga we're paying for, but Giulio went to work. He's not totally mobile, but he knows his s#!t. Whenever I come in, he or whoever else is behind the counter is happy to chat through my issue and suggest something. It's not a Home Depot- so they may not have what you're looking for every time- but they have a lot of things, and it makes me happy to know my money is staying local. Also, side story: One day during the summer, it's like 90, and I am behind a contractor who's getting a bunch of stuff - lumber, rocks...I don't know- but he's paying for it, and he grabs some water bottles for him and his crew and puts them on the counter. Giulio totals him up and says a number; the guy says, "Oh, don't forget these waters". Giulio says, "The town where I come from in Italy has the best water in the world, and it flows right off the mountain. If my father knew I was charging people for water, he'd come back from the dead and strike me down. Those are free." C'mon. How can you not go here first?
