    Backyard 5 After
    George K.

    We met with Gary Holt after being "ghosted" by another landscape designer...which turned out to be fortuitous! When he came, we walked him through what we wanted, which was quite a bit of work. He took that back and after a week or so provided us with a quote. In addition, we had some items as optional, pending our budget at the time of the project. After we approved and sent a small deposit, we scheduled a tentative start date, which was about 4 month out (during Covid days, everything takes longer). As we approached the date, I contacted Gary and he asked to push out a couple of weeks due to other projects taking longer than anticipated. That was fine with us...as mentioned, these things don't go so smoothly anymore! Anyway, after that short extra delay, the workers all arrived and work got started. The workers on the team were awesome. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and detail oriented. Gary was often out there, checking up on stuff and making sure we were happy. As work progressed, we had a payment play in place and that's how we went. The worst part was the pergola we wanted was delayed, repeatedly. That's not Gary's fault. At the end, we agreed to order 3 similar ones and take the first one that arrived. It did, about 6 months after the rest of the work was done, but once it did, the team came and installed it and we couldn't be happier! Overall, we are truly enamored with our new backyard! It's our oasis and Hold Landscape Inc brought it into being. It did take patience...and like some people have mentioned, communication can sometimes not be that great, but based on my experience and other people's (who hired other landscapers), that's kind of the way it is. Regardless, Gary always got back to me.

    My experience with Holt Landscape was very good from the beginning to the end. The initial planning was very easy: I told Andre my vision, and he added more ideas that enhanced the plan. The crew, Ruben and Yani were very meticulous. From the removal of the old lawn, to the placement of the rocks, everything was done perfectly. They were very careful not to disturb my Covid project: my succulent fountain. They cleaned up after each day of work. Then came planting time. Again, I gave them the type of plants that I liked, but because they were the experts, I trusted them to choose the proper ones that would thrive during this drought that we're having. Gary worked his magic. I can't wait to see all these plants mature. A couple of weeks after the project was completed, there were two plants that weren't doing very well. One actually died. I called Andre, and the plant was replaced by an irrigation tech who also made sure that the drip system was functioning properly. Thanks, Holt Landscape Team. Hope to enjoy my yard for many years to come.

    Evil does as evil is allowed. Know who you are getting in bed with.

    Cynthia - Holt refused to speak to me. There is nothing to talk about. We sent you certified mail to which there was no response. Further, you can blame your contract. The LAW puts an obligation on the contractor to ensure a permit is in place BEFORE starting the work. Which you didn't. Lame response on your part for anyone educated on the matter. You guys still owe us money. That's the last I'll post on this thread. Good luck to anyone that engages you for your services. So happy you only stole $15k rather than $60k+. Phew. Bullet dodged. FACTS.

Called the office and Adam came out a couple of days later to inspect our lawn and give us a quote. After talking to a few other local vendors, we decided to go with FENIX and we are really pleased we did. Adam, Kimberley and Erica communicated really well and answered any question we had about the entire process. They provided us with a few turf samples as well as an extensive list of referral addresses we could use to inspect their craftsmanship and the quality of the installed turf product. When the day to start the project arrived, Dylan and the large crew arrived right on time as arranged and immediately got to work. They were very professional and skilled. They were able to complete the entire project in one day and cleaned up the "worksite" nicely. We are extremely happy with the entire process from start to finish and would use them again if needed and would highly recommend them if you were considering installing artificial turf for your landscaping project. Not only was the craftsmanship top notch, the value was exceptional as FENIX provided us with the lowest price of all the quotes we received.

A neighbor had recommended Fenix. About a year ago a representative came to our house to give an estimate. He brought samples and measured the area and was quite thorough in his explanation and recommendations. We decided on one of the products but had to hold off installation because we were having other work done in the backyard that could have damaged a new turf. Finally the yard was done almost a year later and we contacted Fenix. Their prices had gone up only 10 cents a square foot but they honored our original bid. Installation was scheduled a couple of weeks later. A week before the install we received an email with the site prep, warranty, care instructions, and other useful information. They offer a discount if you pay by cash or check. On installation day they arrived close to 8 a.m. and apologized for being late as it was foggy in Sacramento and dangerous driving. The crew immediately got to work, first capping off the irrigation that watered the former grass lawn and then digging out the dirt and roots. They uncovered a couple of drainage pipes that we weren't aware of and cleaned them out and reset them to be operational under the turf. They accidentally cut some irrigation pipes and quickly repaired them. Once the job was finished they cleaned up our backyard, even on the side of the yard they weren't working in. The new artificial turf looks wonderful. We highly recommend Fenix if you are considering artificial turf for your yard.

We started with what was to be a straight forward driveway replacement. Old cracked/cast in place cement being replaced with pavers. Travis recommended lights and we agreed that was worthwhile based on the scope of what was being done, and this being something we will look at every day, multiple times per day. The pavers were also going to be extended to the front door replacing an additional old sidewalk. We didn't want the least expensive contractor. We wanted someone that was reasonably priced, who would stand behind their work. Bella Rosa is that company. The project turned out better than expected. The lights are icing on the cake. The pavers look phenomenal. All that said, there were a few hiccups along the way. Miscommunications on Bella Rosa's side related to what was discussed initially, and when the crew came out for installation. However, Travis always quick to reply, prompt to meet to work through the details and we were very satisfied. As the front was nearing completion we were so confident in Travis's team, Freddy was the foreman on our project, we added on additional things to the original scope. Including, redoing a flagstone walkway, cleaning out a side yard area, removing a layer of soil, adding stabilized decomposed granite, putting in lights along a back fence line. We can't recommend Bella Rosa highly enough. Travis and his team do very good work. And, when things come up, which is normal in construction, they will stand by their work and resolve any unexpected things. These are projects we could've DIY'd, but the result would not have looked as good, and would've required many months to complete.

We had a vision for what we wanted but honestly couldn't quite articulate it. We reached out to a number of shops and ultimately chose The Paver Company. Four months later, I can say without hesitation it was the right call. Darren was our designer and the reason we signed. From the first meeting, he wasn't trying to sell us anything. He was trying to understand what we wanted and then shape it into something better than we could have imagined ourselves. He recommended the specific paver, the color, the wall system, the design layout. Every suggestion came with a clear rationale. When we pushed back or had questions, he had answers that made sense. When we were indecisive, and we were, a lot, he was patient without ever being pushy. What stood out most is that he didn't change once the contract was signed. Same energy, same availability, same genuine investment in the outcome. He visited the job site every single day, not because it was required of him but because he was genuinely excited to see it come together. That felt rare. Juan was our project manager and set the standard for what communication on a project like this should look like. He kept us informed throughout the entire process, helped us think through specific decisions as they came up, and even asked for our preferences on small cosmetic details that most contractors would just decide on their own. The morning the crew arrived, he worked through a few on-the-spot adjustments with us like it was nothing. Clear, friendly, and completely on top of it from start to finish. Jose ran the crew and ran it like a precision operation. Eight guys, three days, 14 pallets of Belgard pavers, drain line, irrigation, two curved Shelton planter walls, side alleys, the works. Every person had a role and executed it. My wife and I joked afterward that it looks like they were never there, and we mean that as the highest compliment. They left the property cleaner than they found it. No debris, no damage to our fence or walls, no leftover material sitting around. For a project of this scope that kind of care is not something you can take for granted. The finished result exceeded what we hoped it would be, which I didn't think was possible. We have two young kids and this backyard has already changed how we live in our home. If you're on the fence between The Paver Company and another outfit, I was in that exact position. The quality of materials, the precision of the installation, the drainage work underneath...none of that is visible in a price comparison. It shows up in the finished product and it will show up many years from now. Darren, Juan, Jose, and the crew earned every bit of what we paid. We can't wait to work with them again to reimagine the front yard/driveway. Five stars without hesitation.

As in any project, there are always some disagreements between owner and project managers. There were few and they always found a solutions in our favor. We strongly encourage you to include them in any search for work like this. You won't be disappointed.
