They planted a beautiful tiered garden of box hedge, azalea and more and added rock gardens around the established trees, creating depth and variety below the porch that coordinates well with the style and color of the house. They installed much-needed path lighting and added charming lighting in the trees with spot lighting from below--all on timers for maximum effect and convenience. They made some improvements to the back yard as well, creating a flagstone patio for our outdoor dining table, adding a flagstone path through our azalea/hydrangea garden for better access, and a flagstone pad--a nice level surface--at the water spigot. From planning to execution, working with Steve and his team was smooth and collaborative. They took what we had envisioned for the space and elevated it with their expert design. The finished product is fabulous. My front yard not only looks great--people stop and comment how lovely it is--it also has added to the property value and is worth the investment! The quality and expertise of Gardelle's work alone speaks for itself, but it doesn't stop there. Steve and the team were great to work with, finished the job on time, and left the work area spotless each day. Five stars for Gardelle. We highly recommend them! --Don and Judy Maderious

We also added a large 16' diameter circular brick patio and 6' diameter fire pit in the back. We replanted both the front and backyard with drought tolerant plants and had drip irrigation installed in both areas. Steve's team, headed by Luis and Francisco, along with Jaime, Jose and Jesus, the mason, were amazing to work with! They arrived on time, worked throughout the day and cleaned up afterwards everyday! Iliana, Steve's office manager was also a joy to work with! Whenever we had a change, Steve was always considerate of our thoughts and needs and quickly made the changes in conjunction with his team The level of respect that the entire team exhibited was so awesome! We loved seeing them all, everyday, and were actually a little sad when the job was completed. We could not be happier with the process and the results that we got from Steve and his team!

Having them was the worst decision I made. Here are the…read morereasons why: - My lawn never had weeds before and now after a month or so it is out it control - the lawn looks worst than how it used to be - Did NOT do what was being told to me over phone. I was told lots of nice things but then when they actually did the job they said not needed, not now, next time etc and skipped lots of things - DISHONEST Agreed on one price but charged me more than I was being told over the phone. This was deal breaker for me. Later these guys and the main guy kept me on my toes since their guys won't leave without that extra money and their boss was only available on phone. Nothing good happened to my lawn even after paying $200+. Worst decision ever to call them. I would save your time and money by doing a DIY where you know what you are doing. Wish I would have believed in their bad reviews but went with some positive responses on Yelp. I'm sure that those are their paid reviews. And have seen the owner responding to reviews to look legit or make the reviewer seem dishonest or their problem but what do you say to something where you destroyed my lawn and the weeds is now out of control.

(7/25/23, post completion 5wks update #10+ c) below) We just…read morefinished our front/back yards makeover: ontime, on budget, and beautifully done! We enjoy our tropical-themed backyard so much now :). Thanks to G (the owner, the foreman, and the hard worker) and his crew. We moved to Brentwood 18months ago. We needed a makeover of our backyard which was flooded during rainy season and poor arrangement of plantation, as well as front yard upgrade. I RFQ'd 5 contractors, and got 4 back ontime. The owner of Pacific Landscape Services (= PLS) is Gatzemani (shortname G). His quote was right in line with another 2, but we were attracted by his overall solution of our troubled yards, and he seemed to be a smart guy. So we did our leap of faith by hiring him to finish in 8wks. Based on our past experience of contracting, ontime seems to be a dream.... but G and his crew made it. 1. Quote is reasonable, G doesn't nickel/dime with small adjustments. I do suggest to communicate clearly upfront to avoid adjustment/rework. 2. G is the worker bee himself and the most skillful one. 3. G always said "have to do it right" vs shortcutting/ easy work, and he did. 4. G is easy to work with, and manages his crew effectively 5. We were impressed by the clean-up on daily base and final closure which really stands out his services. We no longer needed to hire trash dumping guys like our prev projects. 6. If you are uncertain about something, you can ask G who gives his honest opinion but respects the owner's final decision and executes it. 7. G has a broad knowledge of sub-supplier bases+ plantation. We took his recommendation for pavers, pebbles.. 8. They specialize in hardscape/ pavers/ drainage/ irrigation. We have a sloped driveway and connection to backyard through sideyard. The leveling/grading was a big challenge for everyone, but G did it. 9. Restored our deserted pond in the back and transformed it into a beautiful creekbed with moss rocks. The sound of creek river is so soothing and enjoyable (see pictures) 10. The only thing is the SOD which is not doing well. [6wks later after completion] The lawn is 95% good, there are still 2 brown spots at front lawn Few recommendations: a). Any material on color/texture, it's better go to stores (if avail), and/or check samples vs online/brochure. It is very different, esp with big areas and how they age overtime. b). Consult G and make your own final call. The creekbed was a recommendaiton from G, a master piece vs a pond with mosquitoes. We went with our desire of light pebbles vs dark lava stones (an idea from G), and we love our decision. c). Get involved and check the job periodically. We did/do find small flaws (not major) due to inconsistent labor quality during the job, eg. trash was not removed before installing gopher wire, irrigation lines popped after 4wks... G re-did the gopher wire the next day after being made aware, and we fixed the dripper line ourselves. Overall, a very postitive experience!! I highly recommend Pacific Landscape Services.

I had used him twice before for tree trimming and was impressed by his work and cleanup. I sent some photos, and he said he would be out Monday morning. He showed up on time and we agreed on a fair price. He and his crew started work. They worked quickly, safely, and efficiently. A couple of hours later, the tree was gone. He came back the following day to grind the stump. They did an outstanding job to clean up and dispose of the branches and trunk.

Carlos followed up consistently and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. For the front yard, I had them remove all the old mulch, dirt, and sprinklers, do some grading, and replace everything with 4-6" deep of 3/4" black basalt rock with a weed barrier. Carlos even brought me samples ahead of time so I could see exactly what I was getting, which I really appreciated. The finished look came out clean and super sharp -- exactly what I wanted. I also asked last-minute if they could take care of a backyard cleanup, and Carlos got me on the schedule the very next day. They trimmed the trees, cleaned up all the plants, did weeding, sprayed quality weed killer, and even hauled off some old gardening trash I'd been meaning to get rid of for a while. Huge help. On top of all that, their pricing was the best out of three other quotes I got from local companies -- super competitive, without cutting corners. If you're looking for landscaping, definitely ask for Carlos. I'll be calling them again for any future projects, no question.
