My husband and I hired Hector and his team to renovate our yard. At first Hector was easy to work with and looked to do a good job. There were a few times during the job that I questioned the material he was using because it wasn't what I had wanted and what we discussed and he kind of just ignored me. That should have been my first clue to what he would be like. After he finished and collected all his money I never heard from him again. Any time there was a problem with his work he did the same thing, ignored me. If he thinks it's a hassle and he already has his money he won't care. Go to someone who respects the customer and has pride in their work. read more

My Brush Cherry and a type of Pittosporum hedges hadn't been topped in over 3 years since planted. I called King Gardening and a tree service in Santa Maria. Both replied right away from the Yelp inquiry. The tree service wanted to say they couldn't be by until Saturday. Hector at King was in Trilogy that Thursday afternoon and stopped by almost immediately, but he didn't have his ladder. He had tempo young men (Nipomo High?) with Jim. I told him I had an 8-foot ladder in my garage. He quoted me and then started the job of topping and shaping my hedges. Height was satisfactory. But Hector, a nice young man, could have used a sharper hedge trimmer as the "hanging shads" show up brown. read more

I hired King Garden Landscaping less than a year ago and have had many issues after the work was complete. Let me preface this by saying I paid them around $15k for this job so this wasn't a tiny investment. At first they are happy to schedule the job and get the work done and take your money, but they skimp on quality of products and are completely unreliable with correcting issues after they are paid. When they installed the sod they used very thin sections that were falling apart that most landscapers would have rejected from the supplier. During installation they left the sod wilting in the sun overnight and then installed it the next day (this is a huge no no). Also we had requested recessed lighting for our walkway and instead installed lighting that sticks out so you have to avoid it as you walk by. These were things I could have overlooked, but what I simply cannot tolerate is the lack of accountability for their work. They installed a fountain and it literally has not been able to hold water since they installed it. I've asked them to take a look and they don't care. I had to take care of this myself with some plumbers putty. Even worse, the irrigation they installed was causing a water hammer to vibrate through indoor plumbing. I asked them about this and they shook it off as not an issue. It continued to happen every time my sprinklers went off and I was worried my plumbing would get damaged over time so I asked them to come look. It was clear to me that they just need to install a regulator or a water hammer arrestor (very simple job). They claimed they would come and I turned my sprinklers off to avoid damage but they never did and my lawn began to die. All they said was to get a plumber (there goes another $500). Fortunately with a lot of work I was able to nurse my lawn back to health after the plumber installed the regulator. Now their electrical work is falling apart. The connection from the sprinklers to my automatic watering system was disconnected and when I took a look the wiring was sloppy and loose so I was luckily able to fix it. But now all the wiring to my walkway lighting is off and occasionally intermittent. Also, the outlet they installed for the fountain pump does not work. My fountain lighting also is no longer working. I reached out to them but I think you can guess what their response was. Pretty much they don't care after they get paid and will not fix their shoddy work. Save yourself the frustration and money and go with someone else. read more

Last week Hector and the crew from King Garden Landscaping came in and did a backyard irrigation install as well as some grading and laying of gravel. They were prompt, on time, and efficient in their time management. The installation went without a hitch and we were able to get our sod in the day after completion. I cannot say enough about how hard they worked and what a great job they did giving us exactly what we asked for. Thank you Hector! read more

Awesome! Had a tree taken down, vine taken out and big vine trimming done.

We hired King Garden Landscaping to tear up our front yard and put in new grass and a sprinkler system, and new plants with a flag pole. Hector did a phenomenal job. He was easy to get ahold of and was always in touch. I highly recommend this company for any work needed. He also gave advice and recommendations which were so helpful. He also programmed our timers for our water systems. King Garden Landscaping did an amazing job. We're so happy we picked them to re-do our front yard. In the future we will definitely use their services! read more

Totally the best! Right on time, courteous, and flexible. The are my go-to folks. Couldn't ask for more

I am so happy with the work that King's Garden Landscape did for me me! I have huge trees that that needed trimming; Branches hanging way over the street and some that were growing over a fence and actually causing the fence to lean. I had several bids but King's Garden was by far the most reasonable. He is not an arborist and was very honest in that he was only licensed to work on lower growing branches, which was exactly what I needed. They did a fantastic job! They were quick, efficient, very clean. They swept and hauled away the debris and my trees have never looked better. Hector was very professional and easy to work with, in fact I asked him to do some more work after I saw what a great job they did. I will definitely call King's Garden in the future. It's hard to find such quality and affordable workmanship. Thanks, Hector! read more
