Don't use them. They are not insured and do not know how to trim trees according to SF rules. I was…read morefined by the city because they over pruned our trees. The fine was $1,800. In 2016, they did not have insurance otherwise they would have paid me for the fine from SF DPW. They also were not following SF Pruning guidelines, otherwise SF DPW would not have fined me.

Without question, the best contractor experience ever. Juan and his crew are not only masters at…read morelandscape design, they are craftsmen, and frankly, artisans too. Their attention to detail on the joinery of our new redwood retaining wall and deck railing replacement far exceeded my highest expectations. I recognize woodworking is not NASA, but with these guys, it might as well have been. Precision, craft, kindness, dependability, and fair pricing = 10/10. My only regret is that Juan and his crew aren't general contractors, bc we'd have them do everything! Included Photos: After/Before Side note: I also appreciate that Juan's crew were consistently the same guys day after day for our large (to us) project. That tells me his guys are treated well and have chosen to stick with him as employees rather than one-off contractors. A++

We have used Juan Cardenas and Giant Landscaping for several years, and we have been completely…read morehappy with them. They have taken very good care of our garden and front yard. In addition to normal maintenance activities, they have been happy to do special projects for us, such as removing a tree damaged by a storm, rebuilding part of a retaining wall, sprinkler system repair, etc.

I had really high hopes for the Urban Gardener after they assured me that they could be reliable…read more But of course a couple of weeks in, they just started not showing up when expected. I think they don't really prioritise regular customers and just move people around? This wasn't what they told me when I signed up. I had email them multiple times to have them send their invoices to the correct email address. I asked them multiple times to clean up the front yard, but they just never did. Everything was always my fault and never theirs. Their tone of communication was really abrasive and patronising. Wouldn't recommend unfortunately.

I sent a message via their website asking for help installing an irrigation system in my garden…read more They never responded. Ordinarily I'd just chalk it up to yet another flaky business but this happens so often that I'm going to call them out when they do this. It's disrespectful and rude and a business that makes a practice of this doesn't deserve anyone's business.

Joslynn and Jermaine are the best! They made my yard look like new again! We have never seen it…read morelook this good! They were thorough at removing allllll the weeds I had, but also thoughtfully trimmed the plants I wanted to keep. Just in time for bbq season. I got a quote on Tuesday and they were able to come as soon as Saturday. 10/10 would recommend for spring weed clean up and maintenance. I'll post some before and after pictures so y'all can see the difference!

I've had the best experience with Bay and Beyond Landscaping! Joslynn is very personable and…read morefriendly, and made the process very easy and fun. I wanted to make my front yard look a bit better because it had been lacking proper maintenance for a while. Joslynn came by with her son for the initial consultation and gave me a bunch of ideas for how to give my home more curb appeal. The day of the work, they showed up on time with all of my requested plants and flowers and worked all day freshening up the yard. Afterwards, it looked so good I wanted to cry other neighbors were walking by saying how good it looked. I will also be using them for yard maintenance to keep everything looking nice. I highly recommended them!

I had some older tall trees in the backyard that needed to be removed with the roots as well. They…read morewere encroaching on fences, roots growing into sewer lines and just too much work for me to maintain. Bernard and his crew were on time, very professional and polite. They all wore masks and went to work. They were fast and efficient. Afterwards they cleaned up the tree trimmings and I couldn't be happier. Bernard is honest and I know he doesn't overcharge for his services. I would definitely recommend giving him a call if you need landscaping done.

Elisa and her team helped me and my neighbor (two people with very different personalities and…read moreaesthetics who share a yard for the long haul) renovate and renew our garden over the past few months. She stayed on budget, skilfully helped us mediate/come to agreements when our opinions differed on looks and plants, and overall communicated thoroughly. She has a quiet presence but listens, cares deeply about her work and our satisfaction. I appreciated Elisa's response when we expressed that some of what was planted did not match our expectations. I thought it might prove a challenging conversation, but it was a simple misunderstanding that she was quick to acknowledge that and fix it without the extra charge for a change. I appreciate Elisa's matter-of-fact approach and direct communication about business policies, etc. There's a lot of proverbial fine print, but I think that's wise and necessary for small businesses. I'd always rather have too much info than not enough. Looking forward to continuing to work with Small Spot as they maintain our garden going forward, and pleased to be supporting a woman-owned small business.

We're so fortunate to have found Small Spot Gardens to help redo our backyard. Elisa and her team…read morewere the only company we spoke with that didn't shy away from our request for a "messy-looking" garden. They also embraced our parallel deck re-do project and were able to incorporate the deck-to-be into their planning. Designing the garden layout and picking the plants was the best part! We effectively looked at a catalogue of different plant options and stone options for the new patio, and even were able to join Elisa at the nursery to look at things in-person. She was extremely receptive to adding our favorites, even if they weren't exactly cohesive to the rest of the yard. She also answered all of our questions and was kind enough to provide some plant care 101 information both before, during, and after the entire process, effectively teaching us how to work with our space, our local weather, and our new garden. Small Spot also was able to work in our favorite plants that were already there, instead of tossing them. For our project, Small Spot redid our entire yard space, with a new irrigation system, new weed guard, and new plants. They also built for us a patio space and planted a tree at our request. They were also kind enough to recommend teams that could help us rebuild our fencing after it toppled during the storms. Overall, it looks AMAZING. The plants have grown and filled in since they were planted. We also set up a schedule with the Small Spot team to come by every few months to assess and maintain the yard while the plants are settling and the weather is changing. It's a nice peace of mind to have them help figure out what's working and what's not, and adjust accordingly. We love our yard now and are so glad to have worked with this group. Highly recommend.

Anywho.. so we called the Gabino crew and they were out in a flash to give us a quote. It was reasonable price.. after a quick haggle.. and it was on like donkey kong! They came back a couple of days later like we had agreed and were in and out! They get the job done as promised, timely, and easy to deal with. What more can you ask for!

A couple days later they came back for our scheduled appointment on time and started working immediately. Within hours they cleared out our jungle of a backyard, and were able to unveil the cement we haven't seen in a decade. These guys are professions, honest, and hardworking! We are definitely looking forward to continuing to work with them on the next phase of transforming our yard! We highly refer and recommend working with them for your projects!

I had been trying to find a drainage expert for years to help figure out some issues at my house…read morewhich is on a hill. Edelmar was the first person to really understand the problems and be able to quickly devise and implement effective solutions. I've now hired Edelmar to do a variety of work: water drainage management, retaining wall replacement, wood post replacement, and landscaping. I was actually a little bit worried when I first hired him for the first job, to replace a retaining wall, because his bid was so low. But his crew did good work. There was an insane amount of manual labor involved since the previous wall had basically been overwhelmed with dirt and buried. Several truckloads of dirt had to be disposed of... You can see one of them in the photo. He also installed foundation drainage using the Miradrain product and some base rock. When they dug out the old retaining wall, it also exposed significant amount of damaged siding and waterproofing on our adjacent house. This meant that we had to replace the waterproofing and siding on an emergency basis since it would be nearly impossible to do so once they installed the rest of the new retaining wall. One of Edelmar's brothers, experienced in this area, helped us do this work right on the spot for a fee that I considered completely reasonable. This helped establish trust. I've since hired Edelmar and team for additional work.

I can't recommend Edelmar and his team highly enough. Pricing was unbeatable and they were at my…read morehouse early everyday and working until right around dinner time. Job was completed on time and he walked me through everything that was done and showed me how to work the timer that was setup for my sprinklers. I appreciated that I was able to convey what I wanted and needed and that was it. I didn't have to specify brands or go through a bunch of different samples. Edelmar was able to provide everything for the job. Again, can't recommend him enough!! One other thing to note. They cleaned everything up each night they left. They washed down the walkways and sidewalk and made sure to leave everything perfectly clean.
