    Howard and his team were professional, careful, hard working, and service oriented. He was open to feedback and willing to meet our needs. Most importantly he is licensed, insured, and experienced. He helped us prune a massive tree in our yard that was long overdue. He is very responsive via text message which made communicating easy!

    Howard and his team did a stunning job on our trees. He pruned our redwood, purple plums, a magnolia, an apple tree, two Japanese maples and a lemon tree! They all look beautiful and his team was professional, friendly and left our yard even cleaner than it was before they arrived. Will definitely be calling him again for any future pruning needs.

    My palm tree needs to be trimmed, I contact three contractors, Howard Linacre replied my phone text massage shortly, and came to my house to check the the tree next day. I chose Howard to do the trimming, because the quick response and reasonable quote. First I like they came to my house on time and gave me a text massage to let me know they were coming before arrival. Secondly, they did great job. What impressed me most was that they also did what I asked at the end of the trimming. I am happy with they service and enjoy the good looking tree in my front yard.

    When a huge branch fell on our neighbor's yard, we decided it was time to get it significantly trimmed.

I interviewed four different landscaping companies before choosing him, and Chris stood out as the most knowledgeable, especially about the Outer Sunset area in San Francisco and what grows best in this climate. He really took the time to listen. We met several times before the work began to design the project, and I never felt rushed. He was flexible, collaborative, and easy to work with throughout the whole process. He stayed open to changes and new ideas as they came up, and he coordinated really well with my contractor. I also found his prices to be very reasonable for single-family homeowners. I don't have much gardening experience, and Chris was able to take the lead in creating a beautiful, low-maintenance backyard that fits my family's lifestyle and the overall design of our home. The backyard he created is a place we'll cherish for years. I'm very grateful to him.

Chris has an eye for design, and made many positive recommendations to improve our overall project. He was an excellent communicator, and stuck to the timeline and pricing in the proposal. We are thrilled with the outcome, and would recommend Earthtones Landscaping to anyone considering a landscaping project.

We walked our backyard the property, told him our wants, he told us his ideas and we came up with a plan. The following estimate was professional and complete. Joel assisted with the selection of materials...not out of a book but at a design center with numerous actual samples. On the appointed day the team arrived early ...ready to go. They were skilled and productive. As the days went on they listened to our on the fly questions with patience and never lost their sense of humor. They worked impressively hard with pride in their workman ship. The final result speaks for its self. Through it all Joel was always available with a smile and help when needed and the job was completed on schedule and on budget... We love our new outdoor area and give a five star thank you to Joel and his fabulous crew!...

Joel was a pleasure to work with - personable, knowledgeable, ethical, focused on the details, upfront on the communication, and very fair with the pricing. Joel followed the design to the letter when possible, and had creative suggestions where the design ran into issues because of the property. His team was excellent and worked very full days. And when it came time for them to leave each day they took great care to have the property cleaned and all of the patio areas usable. Overall it was a terrific experience and I can highly recommend Vigorous Landscaping.

They were professional, punctual, and incredibly respectful of our home. Every day they showed up on time, kept the work area clean, and made sure everything was tidy before leaving. Their attention to detail really showed in the final result - the turf looks fantastic, the pavers are perfectly set, and the trellis with the star jasmine completely transformed the space. See before and after pictures attached. Their pricing was fair and transparent, and Omar himself was very easy to communicate with throughout the project. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and he made helpful suggestions that improved the overall structure and design. We're very happy with the outcome and would absolutely work with them again. I highly recommend this team to anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area looking for reliable, high-quality landscaping work.
