David and all his team of experts did a wonderful job installing new pavers in our backyard. Our…read moreold concrete slabs were cracked, and had shifted, altering the drainage of water to flow towards our house. After interviewing many landscape pavers, Ideal Engineering stood out for being prompt to all the meetings, willing to visit multiple times to double-check measurements before bidding and were knowledgeable on the current state of available inventory and which showrooms to visit to preview them. Prices were very reasonable and transparent. There were no unplanned mark-ups and all change orders were reviewed and had to be approved by me in advance, so I could budget accordingly. I think this is an advantage of choosing a local paver. The work was efficient and professional - different specialized crews for demolition, irrigation, paving, cleanup were used with their own knowledgeable foremen. Each foremen acted as an available point of contact and communication was easy and friendly. Any texts or calls were usually returned within minutes. The teams were proactive in highlighting any complications or issues that might require design approval to make sure the work they did matched what I had in mind. For example, Pedro, the paver lead felt it was better to create a smooth curve at a corner instead of a straight 90 degree corner, and he was right! The boundaries flowed smoother and nicer with the lawn. The paving work was top-notch. We had decided to install premium pavers from Belgard, and it was important the work was done properly for such an investment. This included grading at the proper slopes for proper drainage, adding weed-resistant fabric, multiple levels of graded stone for proper leveling and polymeric sand for good sealing between pavers. The team helped build custom steps that looked very nice to create easy step-downs and paver edging was done with great style and aesthetics. For a potentially complicated project, I really felt confidence in the team and the process. David also helped offer advise in helping me move and reset our external heat pump units so that they could be reinstalled on top of the pavers. They were able to build conduits to facilitate running irrigation and electricity underneath the pavers for adding drip irrigation of containers and future lighting in our garden. Cleanup was thorough, with parts of our yard reseeded and topped with new topsoil. There was no construction debris left on our lawn or streetside. Everything was swept up. Fence gates that were temporarily removed were re-installed to appear as if nothing ever happened. I would definitely use Ideal Engineering (Ideal Landscape & Concrete) again for future projects.

My wife and I worked with Karen on a landscape design project in early 2022. We engaged her for…read moreconsultation around what types of plants, trees and shrubs to include across our front and back yard spaces. We had specific goals around creating a landscape with colorful, drought tolerant, California-native options and Karen knocked it out of the park. Here is what we appreciated most about Karen: - She actively listened to our needs and responded with a wealth of ideas that she helped focus down with our input - She was well organized and highly responsive, using Houzz, Plant Master and documents to guide discussions. - She thoughtfully pushed our thinking and was detail-oriented as we moved from concept stage to making requests of our gardener and nurseries Lastly, we were very pleased with the range of packages/pricing she offered since we only needed consultation vs. end-to-end landscaping support. We highly recommend her!

Karen is extraordinary at what she does. She handled every detail and was so fun to work with! She helped us choose all the planting, helped with design, helped coordinate with my gardener (with whom I haven't had great communication with) for planting and drip systems, and was a terrific partner. She was quick and efficient and knowledgeable and joyful about the work. She was always accessible and very quick to respond. I was dreading doing this project but Karen made it a family event that we all enjoyed. I'm so proud of how my backyard looks now and would work with Karen every time and recommend her very highly.

We have never had a CA Vendor try to charge us after a few days, the law even says right to cancel for 7 days. We would have been happy to pay for an inspection, but $1100 to cancel a job is absolutely ridiculous. DO NOT RECOMMEND We will not use them for any projects since this is how they want to run their business.

My engagement with Bay Area R Landscape started with a request for Sprinkler inspection and…read morelandscape maintenance quote request. The owner showed up with quick diagnosis to my sprinkler problem and showed knowledge about how my garden could be maintained. After evaluating several vendors I decided to proceed with Bay Area R Landscape on 8/15 for them to start servicing my garden on 9/4. The company stated that they're fully licensed, insured and are maintaining 60+ house in the region. I texted on 8/31 to confirm if they'll show on 9/4. No response. Texted again on 9/3, but still no response. Gave them two calls on 9/4 and finally got a response back that the team has backed up and wasn't able to make it so they'll show first thing on 9/11. On 9/11, the team did not show again without any communication. Thus, I sent a text on 9/12 to terminate our agreement for the company to service my garden. As I haven't had the opportunity to work with them so I can't comment on the quality of the work, but if lack of communication starts on day 1 for a new customer, I'm not sure how responsive the team would be if future issues arise. The company did reach out explain the no show, but then again, lack of communication was reason I let go my former gardener to begin with. Recommend the company to handle communication better in the future.
