    After photo with the largest plants removed.
    Danae S.

    Manuel did a great job for the initial overhaul of my xeriscaped yard. Some of the plants were overgrown and he removed huge sections and hauled them away. He called me promptly and also did texts with photographs since I could not meet him on site when he did his initial estimate which was super helpful. He is now doing the monthly maintenance and has done his first visit, again providing photographs to show what he did since this is our rental property bc we moved to Oceanside.

    Looks great, is quick. Guys were friendly and communicated well. Added before and after pictures. Came same day.

    Front yard remodel
    Charles E.

    10/10! Manuel and his team work extremely hard and provide top quality for a variety of services. We had them remodel our front yard recently, after having them remodel our back yard last year. I would recommend Manuel for your landscaping needs. Great value for a high quality product and finished everything on schedule. I'll be using him for all future landscaping projects.

    I don't usually write reviews and Manuel never asked me to, but I'm so happy with his team's work that I had to share. We had just moved into a home with an overgrown backyard. Most of the plants were dead, and we wanted everything cleared out so we could start fresh with the few that were still healthy. We also needed some irrigation lines moved and hidden, which required relocating a very old lemon tree. We got quotes from three companies on Yelp. Manuel's was actually the highest, but we chose him because he stood out during the consultation. He took the time to walk through all our concerns and make sure we were aligned, unlike the others who were nice but seemed to just tell us what we wanted to hear. His team completed everything in one day and we're super impressed with the results. Will definitely use them again!

    Beautiful new fences, rock planter, and pavers

    From start to finish, they did a fantastic job. Always on time and worked hard all day long. I'm so happy that we decided to go with Manuel and his crew. Our backyard is finally a place that we love to hang out in. I would recommend this company to anybody interested in landscaping.

    Manuel and his team renovated my backyard and did a great job. They installed new drainage, irrigation, sod, plants, and placed some concrete. Professional, reliable and on time. Highly recommend! I will continue to use him for future work.

    before the final clean up and planting of the new ground cover
    Bruce M.

    Had a small area of steep hillside partially slide in the big rains this winter, and I wanted to see what options there were to shore things up. My thoughts were the treated 6x6 lumber and build into a tiering series of walls and re-landscape it. Manuel came out quickly after calling to review and provide a bid. We talked about options and he was very clear in communication. His price seemed reasonable ( while still more than you would like but what else is new these days)... and his approach was similar to others who were on the more efficient side and way less than some companies that wanted a massive amount of money to over build the hell out of it . Again this was not a hillside holding anything up or that if it came down would do anything other than make a mess in my walkway. So I opted for the more sane/reasonable approach . And while a small area, this was still a difficult slope to work on because it was like an 80 degree angle! (see picture) . Sprinkler pipes also needed to be cut and redone and they did a good job on that and checked the sprinklers and even painted the pipes with spray paint I got them. His 3 workers took a week to do the job. One of the few jobs I have had around my home that went pretty much perfect. good clean up each day when they left. The construction of the short tiered walls was done right with rebar and cemented supported posts and even horizontal timbers going into the hill. I dont think this will be going anywhere... knock on wood. It actually looks nicer/better than before which was just a steep slope with ice plant on it. He brought in a lot more new plants than originally planned to replant the hillside, and didnt charge extra. Even got a big tarp and covered it for this weekends rain for extra protection, then is coming back on monday to remove the tarp. I would recommend Manuel for landscaping work and things requiring construction for sure.

    Damage from weed whacker on new play house
    Paola G.

    The work and service provided by Manuel and his team is beyond disappointing. The team had no consideration for my things and ruined a brand new outdoor play house with their weed whacker. To make matters worse, this wasn't the first time that they damaged my property. His team also cut through my Halloween decorations. I gave him and his team multiple opportunities to improve their work but it didn't work. The bottom line is that they do not do yard maintenance well. The weeds grew out of control and his team never properly pulled them when they started. They didn't prune my fruit trees in time to actually have a harvest this year; and they left the gate open multiple times where my dogs could get out. I never hired Manuel for large projects and perhaps his team is good at that but for bi-weekly yard maintenance I would not recommend this company. To add further insult to the situation... when I reached out to Manuel about the damage he apologized and never came back. Clearly he didn't have enough work ethic to try to fix the situation.

    After. New concrete patio and sod.
    Meghan M.

    Manuel and his team completely overhauled our backyard and did a fantastic job! We had a patchwork patio of concrete and flagstone at varying levels, old chain link fencing cutoff and buried in old concrete. We received multiple estimates from various contractors and Manuel gave us an affordable and honest quote. His team demolished everything, poured a new slab, installed new irrigation and sod in 5.5 days of work. It was amazing to see such hard work and dedication. We were so impressed that we've recommended Manuel Landscape to our friends and retained their services for maintenance. Highly recommend!

    Old yard space. Half way through project.

    We found Manuel through Yelp, and we are glad we did. First of all, this post isn't to get a discount, and we post this review honestly and willingly. Manuel successfully turned our old and tired backyard into our little paradise. He was competitive with pricing and completed the job on time and exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of landscaping. We are actually going to use him for additional services since we liked him so much. If you want to work with an honest and trustworthy businessman, Manuel is your guy. Items he did: * new perimeter drains (French drains) * new patio w/ pavers * new sprinkler system * new drip line * new retaining wall w/ plants * new grass (fescue) * perimeter brick edging for grass * bark for perimeter edge areas

Unfortunately, the experience went downhill almost immediately. The owner refused to listen to what I was trying to explain and immediately started cutting into irrigation lines without discussing pricing, troubleshooting strategy, or even what he believed the problem might be. Instead, I got long "war stories" about other lawns he had worked on, which did nothing to address my issue. In the end, he never actually found the problem. Instead, he capped off piping and rigged the system so water flowed through all the sprinklers, but with significantly reduced pressure and coverage compared to before. When I pointed this out, he ignored my concerns and told me to go buy different sprinkler heads because that "should" fix the coverage problem. I would expect a professional irrigation contractor to properly diagnose and solve the issue himself. He also replaced the top portion of my solenoid valve with a larger setup that now prevents my valve box door from closing. After I contacted him about this, he promised he would come back and correct it. To date, I have heard nothing. The cleanup and restoration were also sloppy. Soil around the sprinklers was carelessly replaced, and the entire job felt rushed and unprofessional. I honestly regret paying for the service. I do want to say that his assistant was respectful of my property and professional throughout the visit. I only wish the assistant had been the one leading the job instead of the owner. At one point the owner mentioned that he installs artificial grass as well. Based on my experience with this irrigation repair, I personally would not trust him with any landscaping project.

Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with. I had met with no fewer than nine landscape companies before Smart Landscape and they were nightmares for various reasons. Danny is wonderful to work with and makes sure the customer is happy.

He was the only one who detailed every item involved in the bid, including update of irrigation. I've had issues in the past with bids for other projects that I assumed included the little details but didn't and then I had to pay extra. Michael's bid included every detail in writing that you would assume would be a part of a new lawn job and it was very reasonable. He also showed up on time for the initial appointment! His crew was great! Their work was very detailed and clean. The job was done within three days and all of the work area, including the driveway, was cleaned up. They even noted my falling-apart fence gate so Michael gave me a very reasonable quote and they did a great job fixing it for me. There were a lot of details for after-care and I've texted Michael multiple times to confirm. He texts back quickly and I never get the impression he's annoyed (I've sent a lot of texts!).

No one else who came to give a bid gave a good solution or just didn't know how to do that. So the combination of a good bid and confidence in his knowledge of landscaping made this an easy choice. But best of all, he and his crew delivered on everything that was in the design plus things we decided to add. Now we actually enjoy being in our garden. Thank you!
