I was weary of hiring Milano as there was only one review. I am so glad I called Ivan for an…read moreestimate. I was impressed with his promptness and ideas. After getting several other estimates, I selected Milano. His bid was thousands less than the others. Milano's crew were prompt, did excellent work, and Ivan went out of his way to be accommodating, making several unplanned trips with little notice to pick up plants we had purchased. I will definitely call Milano Landscaping for any future projects. You should too. Thanks Ivan.

With every construction, delays happen, materials fall short, weather issues, etc., Ivan is very professional, competent, and a great communicator that he voiced any issues or potential issues right away and found ways to not only solve problems, but come up with better solutions. He's on schedule with our project, worked long hours, pushed through the rain at times, and even came in early Christmas eve to make sure all the lights are working for our family to enjoy. And for that we truly appreciate him and his team! Our front porch project outcome was better than what we planned and expected! Thank you Milano Landscaping!!!

We have used Sanchez Brothers for three major projects at our house and they have done an excellent…read morejob on all three projects. We hired them to re-landscape our front yard, which was not an easy task. They handled the demo, re-leveling, sprinkler system, installation of plants, sod, installed pavers for a wall and stairs from the sidewalk, laid concrete for a new walkway, installed a new fence and installed outside lighting in the new front yard. I'm sure I left out other things, but they provided a skilled and professional crew to do all of this and this was just our first project. They also replaced a fence in our backyard (second project) and then we recently hired them again to replace our backyard deck (two levels). Each experience has been absolutely stress free and amazing. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone that needs work done. They listened to us, kept us informed, and worked through some difficult weather at times to get the job done.

I wasn't going to leave a review but the more I thought about the conversation I had with Alison,…read morethe more I thought I should write a review. My husband and I love gardening and want to put in a greenhouse and fire pit seating area in our front and side areas (we are on a corner lot). We both are professionals who work in SF and have different taste so we thought we would hire a professional landscape designer to give us cohesive design. I got a referral from Vince's Landscaping (great company) to Alison from Simply Perfect Garden's. I gave her a call and she was lovely at first until she found out I live in Rodeo, CA in Contra Costa County. She instantly said, "I usually work in Walnut Creek, I mean, I barely have time for my family. I don't have the time, I'll find you someone more suitable for you". I was blown away at her response. We were on the phone for only a minute and a half when she says all this. Rodeo is closer to Benicia than Walnut Creek and is in the same county but this is know as a blue collar town. I'm sorry to hear she doesn't have enough time for her family but this is her business, no one was asking her to do it for free and as a person who represents workers like gardeners in Golden Gate Park and Silverado Country Club, I respect people who work in horticulture and know their value. To me it sounds like she has a problem with being able to control her own schedule but a larger problem with stereotyping and bias. Mind you, it's Martin Luther King Day. So if even you have a million dollar home, if it is in an "undesirable" zip code, don't bother calling this company.

The projects were somewhat complex and involved coordination with other contractors, but Vince and his team handled everything smoothly. They showed up when they said they would, worked efficiently, stayed on the job until it was finished, and paid close attention to detail. We've gotten many compliments, and we've been happy to see Vince's crews subsequently working on other projects in the neighborhood. We highly recommend Vince's Landscaping.

He's now helping us decide on which installer to use. We've found Ian to be very easy to work with. A good listener. His original design was right on, great design, and we made very few tweaks. He did not nickel and dime us. He never made us feel uncomfortable asking questions or making revisions. He also understood we are budget conscious and never made us feel uncomfortable with wanting to do certain things on a budget - he totally got it. Great listener. He followed up when he was supposed to, very timely, very respectful. He was very easy to work with, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. Will post pics at some point once we finish everything! We feel lucky to have found him.

We specifically enjoyed Stephen's approach because it was so "design" minded, compared to other landscaping companies that want you to have your own plan/design in mind- Stephen really takes the time to think through what you want, translate what you're looking for, and put it into a design that really works both aesthetically and functionally. He didn't hesitate to let us know when something we said we wanted, actually didn't match up with our goals - I appreciated the honesty and transparency.

Our backyard was a clay bound mess. If it rained during the winter, sorrel and other weeds would…read morecome out in the spring and it would become a hay field filled with knee high weeds. By the time the warm weather came around, our hardy weeds would wear down to a brown dust on top of packed clay soil. We might have tried parking cars on the hard pack. It was a hot dusty mess. When the rain came, one day of rain could turn the hard pack into a morass of sticky gooey mud which was hard to clean off the feet, and hard to clean off the dog. Our backyard was unusable about 3/4 of the year. Finally, we had a couple of slopes in the backyard that were a challenge to know what to do with...it was not an easy place, full of work. The best thing (among many) is that Steve is knowledgeable about plants, how they respond to the weather, and where they will grow. He is also willing to work with you, listen to you, incorporate your ideas, convictions, wishes and desires for the planning of your landscape. I do believe Steve was tired of seeing our number on his caller ID when we called, but he always got back to us, answered our questions and made adjustments as he went. We were definitely heard in our wishes. LIving Earth Gardens handled our soil construction (where they turned it from clingy, muddy cement to soil that would grow stuff) They cleared brush, the planted trees, fruit trees, and put in a drip system to help us water it all. From start to finish they had the tools and know how. They also put in some stairs to make the slope navigable. You will find the whole staff energetic, positive and conscientious. We are pleased with our yard and the effort that was made to get us there.
