Mike and his crew just finished landscaping our back yard. He is amazing. Our yard is now a beautiful retreat. The flowers he selected are lovely, the concrete is beautiful and our grass is so lovely. He installed our sprinkler system and set up our small recycling fountain. We have a small yard here in The Grove in Camarillo and he was magical. Once his crew started they worked everyday from 8:30-5. Such a good work ethic. They were all so polite. We are very pleased with the work Mike did for us. read more

Mike Muscarella just recently renovated and did an entire overhaul on our front, back and side yards. He built a beautiful brick fire pit , a gorgeous pondless water feature and a very natural looking dry river bed. I can not say enough good things about Mike and his team. They are true professionals and did a beyond exceptional job. Mike has a great eye for design and completely understands his craft. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The quality of work is unmatched. The price for the quality of craftsmanship is amazing. Loved Mike and his work so much we decided to use him a second time to finish up our landscaping. Easy to work with. Prices on point and excellent work, done in a timely manner. No need to look anywhere else. You will not find anyone better read more

After meeting with several other companies, it was a relief to meet with Mike. He could see the design we were looking for immediately and was willing to sit down look through our many saved images and see easily how to combine our vision with our budget. He also could take opposing wife/husband ideas and combine them into a workable plan. We have a large corner lot, and it needed a complete overhaul after ten years as a rental. We did a large hardscape with a water feature, gas firepit with an L-shaped concrete built-in bench, bamboo, sculpted areas of sod for our dogs, irrigation and timing, drainage, and gravel pathways. Mike was one of the only landscapers with whom we met who could say, "I think this is a better option," and we knew he would be right. He improved on ideas on which we were sure that we were firm in ways we hadn't anticipated. Example: we thought we wanted floating "islands" of concrete separated by black Mexican beach pebble, in a fashion we had seen on design sites. He incorporated the pebble into poured bands, because he knew it would eliminate the hazard of the uneven surfaces. In the end, Mike improved on our design in ways that were easier than we'd thought. The crew was there at the same time each day without fail and did an excellent job in not just landscape and hardscape, but in correcting existing issues, tiling, and other detail work. They knew we had dogs and never left the space messy or hazardous. Months later, we have a green yard with minimal water usage. He came in at less than 10% budget overage which, if you've done serious renovation, is nothing (we removed 49.7 tons of material from the yard before he started), including some improvements and upgrades that we hadn't considered. We would never hesitate to recommend Mike and his crew. Our yard is a relief to come home to every day. Pics to follow. read more

Mike and his team were great. I definitely recommend them. We hired them for a full backyard renovation: landscape, hardscape, demo, tree removal, fences, patio cover, outdoor counter/sink, electrical, etc, etc. We got competitive bids from three different companies, and decided to go with Mike. He had done good work for our neighbor, and there's something to be said for a guy that's been doing this for 30+ years. Before Mike, we worked with a landscape architect to design the yard. The landscape architect was good, but now that I know what Mike can do, I'll skip the architect and go straight to Mike when it's time to do the front yard. Mike has specialized teams of employees. There was the tree team, the cement team, the landscaping team, the carpentry team, and a few all-purpose guys (shout out to Ezekiel). On some days, when multiple things were happing at once, there were 12+ guys working. Having these various teams meant each part of the project was done quickly and correctly. It's been about a month since the project finished, and Mike's been good about coming back to address small things that we didn't notice right away. Now I need to figure out how to upload photos. My yard will be the one with the red fireplace. read more

These guys are amazing! Day 1 of my backyard project and Mikes crew works their tails off. He brings a group of guys, and they get it done! Mike's very easy to work with, is trustworthy, and knows exactly what he's doing. His crew works hard and stays until it's done. I'm beyond pleased so far with everything. I'll post pictures of the final outcome. Thanks Mike!! read more

Mike designed and created our dirt yard to a backyard paradise. We just purchased a brand new home in the River Park area of Oxnard and after 5 ridiculous estimates we found Mike who gave us a more than fair price for the quality of his work. He is old school, meaning he delivers as promised on time, is honest, sincere and is an ethical person. That is rare today with businesses. His crew worked very hard, always cleaned up at the end of a day and stuck to their work schedule. Mike was always available for questions and was actually on site everyday. Look no further for your landscape/hardscape architect, Mike is your man! read more

We contacted Muscarella landscaping as we noticed they were doing great work in our neighborhood. After a week of attempting to contact we finally heard back from Mike himself. We set up a meeting for 6:30 in the evening to speak about our a full renovation of our yard. Mike never showed up. Mike never called. Mike still hasn't called. Rude and very unprofessional. We will using someone else. read more

GOOD LANDSCAPING The yard looks great now. His crew pulled up old roots, hauled away our old landscaping junk (bricks, cement posts, etc), leveled the entire yard, sliced down our patio, poured concrete, added a flower bed border, and installed a brand new automatic sprinkler system. AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE! Ex: He had put on our quote a $300 charge for a rented dumpster - no biggee. But then he told me he was going to use the same dumpster for our job and another job, and joked that he would be saving money but we wouldn't. I don't think he even stopped to consider how that might make us feel. If he had only said "Great news! I can work some magic and knock $50 off the dumpster price for you!" He still would have made more than he should have and we would have felt like he's looking out for us. Ex: When our sprinkler system had a problem after a couple of months and needed to be replaced (not his fault but he had the warrantee because he purchased the system) we left multiple messages over 2 months and he never got back to us. When I finally did get him here, he replaced the system within 2 days, which was great. But when I asked him why he didn't get back to us he said "I'm so busy, I don't have time for little jobs." All in all, he just sounds like he doesn't care about our experience - his bedside manner could use a lot of work. read more

Mike and his team was great to work with. They helped to transform our backyard into a place of beauty. Their quality of hard work, creative vision, and dedication are hard to beat. read more

Mike came highly recommended by our neighbor who had just completely renovated their backyard with amazing results. We hired Mike and his team back in March 2015 to completely re-do our backyard which included installing artificial turf, re-building a 4-foot tall retaining wall to match existing work, create and build from scratch a pondless water feature to match all stone work, lay a raised deck, drainage, lighting, electrical...I think you get the picture. Large scale re-model! Our results were equally amazing! Not only did Mike promise us that his crew would be at our house everyday, only take 3-weeks to complete (YES...only 3-weeks!), he additionally made sure a few other items (not included in our original bid) were taken care of for us before he and his crew were off to their next project. Mike is truly a stand up guy. Looking forward to hiring him and his crew again to complete our front yard. read more

Mike was great to work with and his crew was great as well. They did good work and their rates were very reasonable. I also appreciated how they always cleaned up the work mess at the end of each day. I would happily recommend Mike for someone looking for a good landscape contractor. read more

Well, Mike and the boys deliver yet again. 2nd house Mike has designed and made beautiful for us and several others in our neighborhood - even the neighbor next door. Mike is easy to work with, reliable, fair pricing, and provides great design ideas within budget. The team is clean, respectful and great at what they do. For example, the team saw I had a clogged drain, so they laid a new one without up-charging me. Small things like that go a long way and Mike and his team deliver with honesty and quality. Thank you Mike!! read more

We highly recommend using Mike! He did an outstanding job of creating our vision for our new backyard....Stayed within our budget, our theme, and always followed through exactly as planned. It has been a flawless process with him and his crew!! read more

Mike did a wonderful job on my back yard i am ab6oit to call him back to discuss phase 2 of our project

I had a small job to extend cemented pavers in my front yard to make a landing at the top of a 5 step front yard entry. Mike did a great job at a good price. Even added to the design of what I had in mind. Also relocated sprinklers in the process. I have more landscaping work to do in the future and plan to call Mike again. read more

We love our yard.Thanks Muscarella Landscaping for our Tropical Oasis at home.

Mike and his team are both fair and reliable. We had them do a smaller project for our house in TO which included redoing our sprinklers and laying DG as well as busting up a concrete pad to make a garden area. This was about 8 years ago. They did a great job! We were referred to them from a friend in Newbury Park. Since then we have referred them another neighbor who used them to remodel his back yard. And then that neighbor then referred them to Jennifer D. Everyone's back yards look incredible. Their work is simply amazing. And the great part is that Mike gets your vision. None of our styles were the same however all exceptionally well executed. His prices are fair and work quality is excellent. read more

Okay, tax refund in and very disappointed - but not with Mike & crew. On a limited budget we were able to finish the side yard with a beautiful flower box and plantings visible from our picture window in the kitchen & we were even able to tweak the front a yard a bit. Great design suggestions; fair pricing; and courteous & efficient staff. Don't bother looking anywhere else. read more

Mike and his crew removed the lawn in our front yard and installed landscaping that is both drought resistant and beautiful. The guys were professional, efficient, and cleaned up after each day. No complaints whatsoever. I would hire them again and recommend them to all. read more

Mike did an outstanding job with my pile of dirt yard. He provided great advice good insight for long term care and very friendly communication. His team was quick and precise in every detail. I highly recommend him! THANKS MIKE and look forward to working with you again. read more

I'm happy that we chose Mike's team to revamp our backyard (lawn, auto sprinkler system, etc...). They were very professional and I can say that the final product was exactly what my wife and I had hoped for. They are willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are happy with the product. Will not hesitate to call Mike for the next project. read more

We hired Mike for a full backyard renovation and we could not be happier. I didn't have a definite idea on what I wanted to do and Mike stepped up with his extensive knowledge and created a true backyard oasis for us. I would definitely use Mike in the future, he would be the first person I would call for any landscaping or hardscaping needs. Thank you Mike! read more

We hired Mike and his team to remodel our backyard. This included a new patio, fence and gate, building an arbor and installing drought-resistant landscaping. From our first phone call for an estimate through to project completion, we have no complaints at all. We had some idea of how we wanted our backyard to look but Mike used his design expertise to take our ideas and budget to put a garden plan together that exceeded our expectations. Working with Mike was a pleasure and we love our new drought-resistant backyard. read more

Mike did a great job on both my front and backyard. He poured concrete, built walls, refaced a fountain, added outdoor lighting, installed and repaired sprinklers, and most importantly helped me design and implement a great landscaping plan. Mike really listened to my desires and offered great suggestions on what would work. He was both technical and efficient and offered competitive pricing. He knows his plants and used existing landscaping and materials in a creative way. He even used a large # of rocks that were scattered around my yard to create a waterless stream which is really ingenious. At a minimum, it is worth calling Mike for an estimate. read more

Very happy with Mike's landscaping of our front yard. He listens to what the customer wants and is patient when the customer changes their mind. We provided Mike a very detailed list of what we wanted. He made three visits to understand our needs. He provided the quote that matched our list and we were pleased with his price; he beat out 2 other bidders. On the job his crew did a great job and Mike sees to it that the customer is satisfied. We are. We definitely recommend Mike Muscarella landscaping. read more

My wife and I needed our backyard renovated and hardscaped for drought tolerance. We had met with other landscapers but Mike was prompt and efficient in getting back to us. He came to our house and we talked over our ideas and we listened to Mike's ideas also. He contacted us within that week with a quote and a price list of the various items that we had wanted. We made some changes in our original plan and Mike advised us on alternative materials ant their practicality for our environment, e.g. decomposed granite vs flagstone and pebbles for the walkway and flagstone vs Trek decking for two patios. Once we agreed on the design and layout of our yard, Mike and his super crew were at our house 10 days later to remove the old lawn, renovate and replace the non-working irrigation system and pouring the concrete for the patios. I cant begin to tell you how efficient and hard working these guys are. From early morning to late afternoon they were hard at it non-stop. They also dug up and relocated other trees and shrubs and replaced & repaired the poorly functioning sprinkler system in the front yard. Mike invited us to go with him to a nursery in Calabasas to select trees and other plantings, which we totally enjoyed, and came up with absolutely gorgeous specimens for our yard. In the end we have a beautiful backyard that we are very proud of and are thrilled to walk out to every day. We can't thank Mike and his crew enough for helping us to realize our vision and even expand on it. We look forward to working with Mike again when we renovate our front yard. Great job you guys!! Thanks again. Marg & Thad S. Oxnard, Ca. read more

Mike was recommended to me by a friend and I hired him to do my front yard. I was pleased with the initial work, but some problems arose and I made several attempts to contact him asking for assistance. He did not respond in any way so now I have to spend money that I don't really have to hire someone else to make some adjustments. Do yourself a favor and find another landscaper. read more

Mike Muscarella is a highly motivated and creative on-scene landscaper who leads an expert team of craftsmen. From his first proposal and estimate to the final stage of work, he incorporates his client's requirements and suggestions into the project to achieve on-schedule completion within budget. My job required the removal of two trees, complete redesign of the front yard including re-sodding, porch enhancements, realignment of entry paths and a water meter cement structure, and installation of a new irrigation system. He also acquired and anchored a 20' flagpole in compliance with a late request by me. One would be hard-pressed to find such quality workmanship at a more reasonable price. read more

Mike redid our entire backyard-- which included concrete, landscaping, a barbecue, a gazebo and a solid patio cover. Mike is both artistic and technical. He designed the entire yard on his own and implemented his plan from beginning to end. Most other contractors depend on a landscape designer for all their ideas. In fact, they simply implement blueprint designs. What sets Mike apart from other landscape contractors is that his work is based on his own ideas. In fact, he would tweak his original drawing for our yard throughout the entire project according to what looked good, what made sense, and what we liked. The advantage to this approach is that we were not locked into formal designs that were created before the start of the project and before we were more confident with what we wanted. Throughout the entire project, Mike listened carefully to what we wanted and implemented our ideas and concerns into his vision for the yard. Plus, he addressed all of my concern thoroughly and patiently. His combination of creativity, artistry, technical expertise, and conscientious service make him an elite landscape contractor. Plus, his prices are reasonable and the quality of his work is topnotch. Mike would be great for landscape and hard scape projects both big and small. If you are looking to landscape just part of your property, I would also highly recommend Mike. His knowledge of plants is amazing and he knows how to design beautiful and functional outdoor spaces at reasonable prices. Lastly, both my painter and rain gutter expert saw his work after its completion, and both thought he did an amazing, high quality job. They both told me we were lucky to find someone so good, especially since so many contractors are underbidding jobs now and doing poor quality work. read more
