Eh. Small business. Seemed honest. I knew it was a gamble with only 24 reviews on here. 2025: Got a bid for job 1. Price was so good asked for bid for job 2. Agreed to proceed with one bid at a time. Glad I did that. BTW bids came in far lower than other competitors. Now I know why. I'm not going to bash the experience with detail, but here's something to note: Skeleton crew. The regular down to earth blue collar workers they were had me trusting them but I found myself constantly asking questions as after the contract was signed, communication slowed drastically. I thought more detail would be discussed. Think this particular job was out of their lane and, to me, they left it incomplete/did the bare minimum/ couldn't wait to get outta there. They also were random in their work schedule. Sometimes there for half a day then you wouldn't see em for days. It took at least double the time projected. Thought maybe it could be a fluke as there were some noticeable issues with the business which seemed out of their control, so asked for some updates to job 1 bid. I was assured a bid would be revised/sent, but ironically, I cut the final check for the job completed, then I was ghosted. Tried to give this business benefit of the doubt, but they constantly showed red flags. Hey if you like letting a businesses take full control of your project, its basic and you don't really care about detail, this is a business for you. A lot of the photos show very basic 101 jobs completed on here. Hope everyone learns something from my experience. read more

I had this company come out last summer. He built a couple of retaining walls and performed that work beautifully. However the landscape portion was terrible. First of many problems: the watering controller he installed did not work properly from the get-go. I told Pete about it and requested a receipt for the controller (it was the end of the job so he wasn't planning to return). Instead he came out and fiddled with the controller and said it works fine. He left and it still didn't water according to the settings so he came out again (after the job was completed) and fiddled some more, saying again there was nothing wrong with the controller. He never gave me a receipt, so as the same problem kept occurring, I finally had to replace it. Because Pete never gave me a receipt (I suspect he used a controller he had sitting around, and not a new one for my job, however he told me it was "professional grade" and cost $300), I couldn't return it and had to spend more money on the new controller. Very irritating. Irrigation system and planting: I asked him to add on to the existing drip irrigation system and bring water to several fruit trees and numerous new shrubs I requested that he put in. However he installed 1 gal. drippers to everything, whether it was a large existing fruit tree or a new small shrub. Fruit trees require a lot more water...Pete told me he was an arborist so he should know the right amount of water fruit trees need. Now I'm having to switch out these drippers myself to something that provides adequate water. Again not something I should have to be doing. I requested all cascading rosemary shrubs in numerous locations. He installed half cascading rosemary and half something else (I don't know the name...he didn't provide any tags). My bad for not saying something at the time, as I thought the additional color might be pretty. Well, the other plants he selected COMPLETELY took over the area covering the slower growing cascading rosemary. Now I have to tear some of those plants out and put them elsewhere, so that I can see the plants I requested in the first place. Some of the new plants he put in began to die after a while so I looked a little closer to figure out why. Half the root system was above ground...the hole was not dug nearly deep enough! I tried to correct this but unfortunately the plants were too far gone so my effort was not in time. Finally, I asked Pete to shore up some fence posts that were lagging. It was a picket fence surrounding a small patch of my front yard. I asked him to go around and check each post. I am too trusting...I assumed he had done that. However, he only shored up 4 fence posts and not the posts on either side of the gate, the ones that needed attention the most. Overall, I am pretty unhappy with the job this company did for me. I read other reviews stating how detail oriented Pete was for them...He did not pay attention to the details of my landscaping project, and I'm not sure he dealt honorably with me about the controller problem. I would not recommend him/his company. read more

The gate posts were set at same depth as the concrete. They rotted, standing on top of the dirt. Not even any gravel. This week I am rebuilding the gate; it fell over. Fence contractor bid $1,900. The bid to correct the concrete edge is $5,000. Inadequate irrigation system requires a daunting total replacement for plants to survive. It takes several hours each time I hand water. I requested 6 valve stations & he said "No" as he walked away with his back to me. read more

We hired Peter and his team to do a landscaping project in our backyard. They were fast, efficient, and did a great job! They weren't the cheapest quote, or the most expensive, but very fair pricing for the job. Thanks again! read more

We asked to have a privacy wall with plants built on the side of our house, Hunts was amazing, they focus on even the smallest details. Well priced, on time couldn't ask for anything more. There's a reason they have 5 stars across the board. read more

Peter Hunt got the job done with no fuss and a handshake on the job. Being old-fashioned myself, this is the way things should be done. Highly recommended. read more

I highly recommend Hunt's Landscaping for several reasons. They took an idea I had & made it a reality just as I envisioned it, and their work is of the highest quality. I am so pleased at how this front yard project turned out. The end product clearly reflects their professionalism, creativity and reliability. I'd rate them at the best in the business! read more

A large portion of my wood fence blew over during a big storm. Hunt's was my low bidder but let me tell you their work was high quality, they quickly replaced the fence and a gate and removed all the debris. read more

We met Peter back in January for free consultation and discussed what we wanted for our front and back yard. We live in Folsom area. He took notes during the meeting and after a few weeks, he emailed us a sketch of the backyard. The front yard is pretty simple, so no sketch needed. Then it followed with the contract and estimate, payment schedules. They are very professional and always on time on our scheduled meeting. They started the job at the beginning of March. His crews always come on time at 7am every day and they always leave the area clean at the end of the day. His guys has always smile on their face and hard workers! Peter brought rocks sample and plants and made sure we are part of the process and every decision making. He is a mellow and easy going guy! Always pleasant to talk too! Always responded to my questions whether it was text or email. They completed the job mid March. We are very happy with the results! They did an amazing job with our drought tolerant and low mainteanance landscaping! All the plants and tree they removed were all replanted and found a new home! Thank you Peter and your crew! I highly recommend Hunts Landscaping! They are great! We're glad we read the positive reviews here and didn't regret in hiring them!i read more

I had about 6 Landscapers come to my home and give me quotes for new grass, plants and irrigation for my backyard to compliment my new pool. I verified their contractor's licensees, read their yelp reviews and looked on the BBB website for complaints. Out of the 6, I received 4 quotes, some of the prices were a little out of my price range, and some of the quotes were incomplete. So I went out to Green Acres and picked up 6 business cards from landscapers hanging on their wall and screened them all. This is how I found Hunt's Landscaping. His quote was very simple and straightforward while still being complete. The price was also fair. I asked for references and called former customers, they gave excellent reviews, and mentioned how knowledgeable he was about plants and how that they still have him come out once a year and give them tune-ups at a very fair price. Peter and his crew they kept a very clean worksite and they were able to complete the job in a timely manner. I was able to consult with Peter and make subtle adjustments to the design as we went. Not only did Hunt's Landscaping install a new backyard sprinkler system, drainage, sod, and plants, but they also fixed some broken sprinkler heads, pipes, and leaky valves in my front yard. So now, my back and front yard look much better. Peter had excellent ideas regarding hedges, plants and trees. I would not hesitate to hire Hunt's Landscaping again. read more

Bill and Seth did an awesome job putting in our beautiful, healthy 3-trunk foxtail. My husband and I couldn't be more pleased. They are two great guys!! read more

Hunt's Landscaping has landscaped two different houses for us and did a fantastic job both times. Peter is very knowledgeable and takes the time to review the job with you to make sure it is exactly what you want. He has great ideas he will recommend to you or work with your ideas. Peter and his crew show up on time and work hard to complete the project. They clean up the work site each day before they leave. Peter is a professional and does exceptional work. Peter is trustworthy and has a competitive bid. We have dealt with many bad landscapers and contractors over the years and so happy that we found Peter. I would highly recommend Hunt's Landscaping. Get on his a schedule. He is worth the wait!! read more

Peter's knowledge of landscaping and lawn care solved an issue we were experiencing with our drip system. He pointed out where the issues were probably coming from and we promptly corrected the timing cycles of the drip system. He did this without us being customers... yet. We plan to have him return for various projects at some of our other properties. Give Peter a call for your landscaping, concrete or fence design needs. He is a very likable person. read more

We just have to add our 5 star review to all the other 5 star reviews for Hunt's Landscaping. We got a couple of quotes from landscapers based in El Dorado Hills (where we live) and were shocked by their numbers. Our job was relatively small so the big numbers just didn't add up. We decided to try someone who is not based in EDH to see if we were being charged an EDH tax. Turns out we were. Peter and his crew are very busy so we had to wait a few weeks for them to come out, but they're busy for a reason. They're really good! In every category they exceeded our expectations. If you need some landscaping work done, do yourself a favor. Call Hunt's Landscaping. read more

Peter was a pleasure to work with. He worked with us to stay within our budget but we didn't have to compromise on results. We used Hunt's Landscaping to convert our backyard grass zone into a drought tolerant, easy to maintain, drip irrigation zone. Peter listened to our needs and provided us with good suggestions. He and his crew showed up promptly every day. On day one, they demo'd the back yard. On day two, Peter mapped out his plans, based on our vision and started the layout. During the weekend, we picked out a number of plants that we liked and on day three, he planted them. Every day, when we came home from work, you wouldn't have known anyone had done work, because the yard was immaculate. We are very pleased with Peter's work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him! read more

Peter did a backyard for me in Folsom. His price was competitive, and his work was superb. He did everything when he said it would be done, no delays or long lead times. His crew was professional and did not leave a mess, and the contractors he brought in for cement and tree removal were great, too. Best of all, I really needed his design ideas to create a nice flow in the yard, and his vision was just what I was looking for. I had him make most of the plant choices and I was pleased with those as well. I felt so lucky to find a landscaper who was easy to work with, trustworthy, professional, and able to create pleasing design options that met my budget. I will definitely use Peter again! read more

My backyard needed a minor makeover after 20 years. Plants had gotten too big, bare spots seemed to stay bare and I didn't want to spend my weekends working changing things. Peter was recommended by Don Matsuda, owner of the former Matsuda's Garden Center. Peter came to my home, asked me what I wanted and made some great suggestions. His bid was fair. He returned in a couple weeks with his crew of three hard working, polite men and in three days gave me the new look i was looking for. I appreciated Peter's suggestions as well as his willingness to listen to mine. I highly recommend Hunt's Landscaping to anyone needing landscaping services. read more

Peter Hunt and his crew just finished redoing our front yard and I could NOT be happier! He is a great listener and delivered exactly what I wanted. They showed up every day on time and got the job done in three days. I was pleasantly surprised that they could do all that they did in three days! The quality of work and materials was outstanding. We downsized the lawn area and had him redo the sprinkler system, add new drip in the new dry creek beds, add new plants, bark and flagstone pathway. It looks fantastic. We had absolutely NO problems with the job. I highly recommend Peter Hunt. You will be glad you use him for your landscaping needs! read more

Hunt Landscaping came in after our first landscaper quit. Peter was very professional, skilled, and efficient. He was able to pull the design together using our requests and his own creativity. His prices are very fair and his work is top notch. You might have to wait a little bit before he and his crew can get to your job, but of course you have to wait for the good ones! They are in demand. Thank you, Hunt Landscaping! I'd use you again in a heartbeat! read more

Peter and his crew are honest, hardworking, and professional. Peter worked with us with the budget we had in landscaping our front yard. We had extensive concrete removed, sidewalks re-designed, our lawn area cut back, and the bottom part of the property dry-scaped. I was uncertain if our vision was going to be the same but Peter exceeded our expectations. He and his crew are diligent and when they say they will be there, they are. You may have to wait for him to get you on the schedule but the wait is well worth it and shows his professionalism and ultimate work product. You will not be disappointed. read more

Peter has completely landscaped the front and back yards of two East Sacramento homes for us over a 13 year period. Every aspect of every job was beautifully conceived, designed and executed. He listens well and has good, creative suggestions. He knows plants, construction (great brick work, trellises, fencing, decorative screening), irrigation and lighting. He is pleasant, on time, has a wonderful crew - many have worked for him as long as we have known him, returns phone calls promptly and follows through, and always leaves the work site clean at the end of the day. His prices are very fair, especially when you consider his top quality work. Highly recommended! read more

Peter Hunt Landscaping was among 4 bids I had for the design of my backyard. Not only was Peter's bid the most reasonable, I trusted his integrity which was proved throughout his work. His employees, with him for some time, were skilled, hard working, arrived on time and ALWAYS cleaned up each day. Peter consulted with me in tailoring the plan and was always willing to do what I asked and more. My backyard is stunning and I also had him rework the front yard. I cannot recommend Peter Hunt Landscaping highly enough. Jo R read more

Had numerous landscaping guys come out for bids to complete two retaining walls around our pool. Found Hunt's landscaping on Yelp and asked him for a bid as well. We really liked Peter and his ideas for the walls and landscaping and his bid was very competitive. The job was done on time and he and his crew kept the site very clean. All in all, we are still ecstatic about the way the walls and landscaping came out. Hunt's landscaping did a great job for us. read more

My husband and I had the most incredible experience working with Hunt's Landscaping, couldn't be happier with the process and results! We had a bare bones back yard, literally just dirt and a cactus with some dead bushes. Peter and his crew of 3 turned it into a backyard oasis only a month after our consultation and in just a week. I provided Peter a rough sketch of our hopes for the yard, he guided us through the process, helped us pick out or recommended every detail, provided very expert suggestions and made it happen fast and right. We ultimately picked Hunt's Landscaping because we wanted something tasteful, classy, but not overdone. Other landscapers we looked into were pushy, unreliable, or a little over the top and some were ridiculously expensive. Peter took our input, but steered us in the right direction, was easy to work with and contact, kept it simple like we wanted, and affordable. His crew was quick, professional and experts at what they do. From the sprinkler and drip system installation, cutting concrete, installing paver stone, putting in an entire drainage system all the way to planting and laying down mulch and sod - his team was polite, punctual, hard working and reliable in every detail, leaving us a beautiful end product that we feel is done right! Can't thank them enough. We are so happy we chose Hunt's Landscaping and would recommend it to anyone looking for a backyard renovation or any type of landscaping! I included some pictures to show you why I gave 5 stars. We will definitely choose Peter and his crew again for future projects. read more

I contacted two local contractors for a backyard project. Peter was the one to answer his phone, schedule the appointment and show up on time. His bid was reasonable and he started and finished the project as scheduled. His crew was very professional and they did keep things very tidy at the end of each day. I would highly recommend Hunt's Landscaping to anyone looking for a reputable landscape contractor in the area. read more

WOW!!! That's how I feel about Peter Hunt, Hunt's Landscaping. We had one other bid, where the landscaper did not even visit our property, did it on a CAD in his office. We called Peter, he came over to a look at our backyard which was just dirt and rocks at the time. Came back a week later with a hand drawn plan with his idea's for what we could do within our budget. We made some changes, but pretty much let Peter do his thing. Everything turned out fantastic, from our stamped walkway and patio, seat wall, the plants, grass, lighting and of course the sprinkler system. Peter and his crew, great guys always smiling, were there when they said the would and the job was done with in the time frame Peter had laid out. We have had questions and because of the time of year a couple of plants didn't make it and Peter was right out and took care of all our concerns. He was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who needs a large job done or just a small rehab. read more
