    My tiny backyard was just finished and I believe it will take a tsunami to get me back inside. I contacted a few places and most responded with " it's too small". Jeff came out and took a look. We discussed my usage and got to work. I have a 65+ year old orange tree to be considered. Planting anything under it was a death sentence.....the tree is QUITE prolific! So, we made some tweaks to the planting. ADDITIONAL request was a specific color concrete (green) AND all white flowers. So, small and specific requests. I had a budget in mind just like I had with my kitchen about ten years ago, and my bathroom 2 years ago. I went over on all of them and I have been happy with all the projects. I had 70 year old concrete to be torn out and it was HORRIFIC. But the tear down team was fabulous!! We had to move a lot of items around THEN the AMAZING concrete crew had to move everything out of THEIR way!!it was like a game of checkers. The concrete work is amazing! Then the planting/finishing crew came in and did great work. They were so pleasant to have around. Jacob and Olly work SO well together and even helped me keep my dog from getting out!! So, the quality of work was epic to me. The value- Jeff made some valuable suggestions that I'm extremely happy with. Do yourself a favor and call. A month ago I had almost given up, and a month later I'm enjoying my cozy backyard!!

    We recently bought a home we really like. There was nothing except dirt and a long retaining wall in the backyard when we moved in though! The HOA gave us 90 days to get a design and a year to install it. We wanted a company that did both but never did this before. We weren't even sure if a company like that existed or if we had to hire a landscape architect first. We hadn't even finished moving in when I saw a sign in my neighbor's yard. Jefferson Landscape: From Design to Finish. I took a picture of it with my phone and text it to my wife. A couple weeks after we were there (boxes still stacked) we walked over to introduce ourselves and ask about their landscape project. Jefferson Landscape were gone by then. Our neighbor took us in their backyard and I was sold right away. She told us about their experiences with other landscapers and said Jefferson was by far the best. She told us she thought they were reasonably priced. They got three bids and Jefferson was in the middle, priced closer to the least expensive quote. During the conversation she mentioned their quality work (which we could see), how organized and professional they were and that they were great with communication. As soon as she said that my wife and I laughed. My wife is a stickler for communication! We found our landscape contractor. When Jeff and Emilio came out and we spoke to them about what we wanted but not where it would go. We liked them right away. They seemed very knowledgeable and took notes while we looked at pictures of their work. We hired them to do the plan first. They said if we hired them to do the landscaping, the plan cost would go toward it. We liked that. The plan looked better than I expected. They had a breakdown of the price to go with it. We had a couple of changes. We added a hot tub with an arbor standing over it and asked Jeff if he could draw it on a separate concrete pad and put it in the corner. Jeff suggested we keep it next to the back door and said he could fit it in the corner closer to the waterfall. That made more sense. We submitted the plan to the HOA and a month after it was approved, they did the work. My wife and I were happy. We received regular updates on the progress either from Jeff or Emilio. They had a plant list for us to go over, we picked out the color for our concrete, the kind of lights we wanted--they even helped us find an electrician. Brilliant Electric, who were also great. Now we just need to buy the hot tub! At the end of the job they not only showed us how to operate the lights and the sprinklers, they provided us with printed instructions. We're very happy with Jefferson Landscape and Design and highly recommend using them for any landscape project. They are very professional and easy going. We never had any problems with them leaving a mess or upsetting the neighbors either--they even brought their own toilet! They had to leave some of the bark and dirt in the street, which I guess is typical, but only for a couple nights. They put those orange cones out. The job only took 2-3 weeks. Everything was done on time and budget with no surprises, just like Jeff said. They stuck to their price. These guys are great!

    I had a very strange and awkward experience with this company. In my experience, they are unreliable, rude and untrustworthy, so I would strongly recommend against engaging with them. I called them to ask if they would be interested in helping finish a waterfall that was already started. Right off the bat, the owner was dismissive and condescending - telling me he is very busy and doesn't have time. He then agreed to come out and we locked on a date and time. I texted him early in the day to confirm and did not get a response. Sure enough, no one showed up for the appointment. The owner called after the time had passed and said something about his text messages getting deleted (what?). No apology, no acknowledgement of missing our appointment. He said he is sending one of his guys like it was a favor to me. The guy came out and we discussed scope and price. We agreed to it and agreed that we would get in touch later in the week to firm it up. I called the number he gave me and the line was dead. After a few days, I got in touch with the owner via text again asking about timing only to receive a two word response "not interested". Without explaining what happened or taking the time to have a proper conversation. I can only assume the this is how they treat all of their customers, unless someone is willing to grossly overpay for their work. Maybe that's the only time they exhibit any sense of customer service. If this is how they treat you BEFORE they start a job, I can only imagine what a nightmare it must be to work with them.

    After the tandbark removal -- 90 degree pathway to our front door.

    I am very impressed with the front yard that was designed and worked on by Jeff's team. Our whole front yard was filled with black tanbark everywhere. My father in law removed all it all and had our front yard bare with dirt. We found company on yelp and decided to get a quote because most of the work that was done looked good and the business has been running for a while now. Jeff was fast to contact me with an email and he came to our property once some restrictions were lifted with this COVID pandemic. My husband and I honestly had no idea on what we wanted our plan to look like and figured Jeff was the professional and he could help us with a vision. He said design usually takes up to a week -- this guy had a sketch design ready for us in two days. We thought it was a great plan, but was a bit over budget. Jeff was flexible on what we wanted to remove to help us stay within budget. We had the cement guys came and busted their butts off for two to three days. I also wasn't sure what stamped concrete was until we had the choice to get it -- aaahhhhhmazing! Jeff was open to my favorite colors to help him choose the plants for my front yard.. can't wait to see what they look like matured. Jeff's landscape team came and got the grass, plants, and irrigation done in 2.5 days. Let me just say, we are so happy with our front yard.

    Pond, fish, goldfish, rocks, landscape

    Just wanted to stop and take a minute to thank the guys at Jefferson Landscape and Design for coming out and doing such a great job building my pond and waterfall. My wife, the kids and I all love it! I can't believe how easy it is to take care of. All I have to do is feed the fish! The lights come on automatically, the water refills when it evaporates, and they built an overflow pit that keeps the pond from overfilling. And man was it put to the test these past months! They don't usually come out this far, but Jeff said he'd consider coming up for a pond since it would take less than a week. In fact, I hired him on the phone! It took them four days. They started on a Monday, and when I got home from work on Thursday night the whole family was in the back. All three kids hit me at once: "Daddy can we get some fish?" Look at them now! I can highly recommend Jefferson Landscape and Design!

    New planter bed with Japanese Maple, colorful flowers and accent lighting.
    Emma R.

    We were so impressed with the way Jefferson Landscape and Design transformed our backyard last year, we invited them back to tackle our front yard this summer. Having worked with them before, we knew we were in capable hands. We used their consultation questionnaire, but otherwise gave them the artistic freedom to design our front (the way they did our back) and were once again happy with the results. Our front yard was bland and boring and lacked any real curb appeal. Our home is higher than the street and the original concrete steps from the driveway were in bad shape. We also wanted a second walkway from the sidewalk. They did a wonderful job putting flagstone in the new walkways, over the retaining wall near the driveway and over the concrete porch. They also installed a new lawn, gave us several planter beds with trees, and accent lighting. The accent lights provide the yard with a softness that makes our home more inviting, gives us a sense of security and keeps our guests from losing their footing when they leave at night. These guys are professional. We highly recommend Jeff and his crew.

    Healthy redwood tree 3 weeks after planting
    Mark M.

    Contracted Jefferson Landscaping to do a $20,000 landscaping job. The design and appearance of the work is very good, however the follow up service is extremely poor. Three weeks after planting, two of the five $850 redwood trees were dead. (Photos attached). This is the third house I've completely landscaped. Even in freezing, snowy Lake Tahoe new trees are guaranteed for the first year. Hell, even Home Depot guarantees their trees. I contracted Jeff and he had absolutely no interest in replacing the dead trees. Inexcusable customer service on a $20,000 job. Interestingly, my gardener replaced the dead trees with healthy trees of the same size for $275 per tree. A third of what Jefferson charged me. Really disappointing service. Before you use Jefferson I recommend you ask about a warranty on the expensive items and definitely compare prices!

    Beautiful pathway
    Carolyn V.

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would! We are so pleased with Jeff and his team. Jeff listened to what we wanted and designed it so beautifully, complete with Bocce court! He is always available for questions and/or concerns and his team was always courteous and left the area clean after each day's work. We will miss seeing them every day! Cannot recommend enough. Don't hesitate!!!

    Landscape lighting

    I picked this company based upon the pictures from their website and Yelp. I didn't want straight lines or a patchwork solution to my already 40 year old patchwork. I wanted an artistic approach with flowing lines and everything in the yard could go. Jeff is definitely a landscape artist. His design was spot on what I asked was looking for even though I couldn't fully articulate what I wanted. His team are fantastic! His cement team are amazing and his landscape team are awesome. I liked everything they did and my neighbors are very impressed with the result, as am I. Hire this contractor!

    Front yard - after

    After a few uninspiring meetings with different contractors offering "free" design, I called Jefferson Landscape for a stand-alone design consultation. Jeff met with me the next day at my home and went over his design process. He brought along some examples of his past work (all of which looked great) and shared some initial thoughts on what we could do with our yard. His price for design was reasonable, and we appreciated that he would roll the design cost into construction should we choose to hire him to do the installation (which we did). Fast forward two weeks, and the design that Jeff showed us blew away our expectations. Jeff and his guys were very transparent on scheduling the installation, and completed all of their work on time and to budget. He was able to accommodate the few change requests I had and even replaced the few plants that died during a 110F heatwave that hit in the middle of installation. My family is thrilled with our new yard, and I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff and Jefferson Landscape!

    After. Our backyard is big.  The picture does not show all the new plants and flowers they put in.  I can't wait for these plants to grow.

    If you want someone to start a project from design to finish, Jerfferson Landscape is the one to hire. After years of delay, we finally decided to re-do our entire backyard. Last year we hired a paver company to do the work. Paver turned out nice, but the rest of the yard wasn't quiet complete. After our first meeting with Jerfferson Landscape in February, the owner came back with the designs on the a blueprint which took into our inputs. We were so surprised by the layouts and hired him at the review meeting. The quote was in itemized details. Then COVID hit. During the downtime, he kept us in the loop and continued to finalize the plant lists. The project finally started in May and finished in 2 1/2 weeks. He incorporated our existing mature tree in our backyard and furnished with many new plants, flowers, walk ways, irrigation, lights, and a pond-less waterfall. His three workers are very hard working. They worked in the 90+ degree during in those weeks. After they completed, he came back at least twice to change out some plants that aren't doing well in the the extreme heat. Jeff cares his works and wants to be perfect. He finished his work on time and per quote. Although the budget was more than what we originally wanted, but you get what you pay for. We are very happy with our new backyard and walk around it everyday after dinner.

He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing. I've waited weeks to write this review, in hopes that the job would look better, but it doesn't. Thanks a lot, KAY GREEN LANDSCAPING FOR DOING A SHITTY JOB AND TELLING ME TO GO INSIDE.
