    Day A.

    This is long overdue but wanted to say what a great experience we had working with MS Gardening. I initially got my front yard designed by another company but they were charging us way over our budget. We got several quotes from other companies and decided to work with Tony. He seemed the most affordable and worked within our budget. Tony was very easy to work with, professional, and provided great alternatives to certain projects. Our front yard was a big undertaking. We added a retaining wall, light fixtures, paving, etc. I think he quoted us a month but he was able to get it done in 3 weeks. We will still add plants but will follow up with tony during the spring season. I will be consulting MS Gardening for my Backyard work as well.

    Tony and MS Gardening took on our landscaping project this year. We had a full re-landscaping in mind for our entire 5000 square feet backyard, court yard and front yard, and this was simultaneous with our indoor remodel. Since we live in an Eichler, our goal was to create a seamless design that would work well to improve the indoor-outdoor living experience. Tony gave us a really competitive quote and understood our intentions and style. Tony with team demolished all our old concrete and landscaping. His team did all the groundwork for the new concrete driveway, walkways, and retaining walls. Tony managed a subcontractor who poured all our new concrete which turned out exactly the way we wanted it. Tony and team then prepared and installed all drainage, drip water and sprinkler systems, outdoor lights, built two large flush Ipe decks, built a custom bench as part of one of the decks, picked up plants all over the Bay for us, planted plants, installed gravel, and advised us about our existing mature trees and their maintenance. Tony told us the project would take 3 months and he finished up within that timeline, which is very impressive. Choosing to work with Tony was the best decision we could have made. This is his own company, so he takes true pride in his work. Tony is honest, patient, kind, communicative and he is a man who keeps his word. We have been so impressed by how he has handled stressful situations with incredible patience and has always kept his spirits up. That has helped us to remain calm as well throughout a stressful remodel. We are very particular clients and Tony has always been respectful of our wishes and design intent. His team work so hard, rain or shine, and they worked simultaneously with many other contractors throughout this project and the whole team handled it with such professionalism and calm. I can't recommend Tony and MS Gardening enough. We will never work with anyone else for our landscaping or gardening needs. Thank you Tony!

    I'm writing a revised post because of subsequent events. Yes. The initial result was what I described... BUT 1. We discussed placing gravel on the new walkways. - When I called to discuss this further (several times in the course of a few weeks.), I was placed in voicemail. - I left a message. No response. - There are now weeds and "volunteers" appearing in those paths (because there was no barrier set up to prevent this from happening. 2. In fact, when I did have the work done (in April - see my original comment) I had asked to have some other pieces moved etc and that was ignored or overlooked. At the time I was so pleased with the improvements, I didn't feel it was worth mentioning. 3. Lastly, there are two valves that he connected to the irrigation he installed. They are the old valves and leak. He never replaced or fixed them - I believe that work should have been included in the estimate he gave me. Since then, one of the shrubs he planted is in the process of dying - so I'm not even sure at this point that sufficient drip lines were laid. I believe Tony knows he has the ability to be a good landscaper. Unfortunately, because he services the San Jose area and agreed to come up to Redwood City, it would appear that he doesn't feel it's worth the effort.

    Tony and his crew did an amazing job on our new yard. They did a complete remodel of our yard and we are happy with the outcome. Would definitely use them again for any yard work that's needed.

    Tony was a pleasure to do business with. He was responsive and punctual. Did a great job cutting down my tree and cleaning up afterwards.

    Long overdue review. Tony and his team helped us to remove overgrowing weeds and replace them with rock. We wanted something that was low maintenance and received great advice from Tony in the options. When the crew came to do the work, they were fast and efficient. My yard has been transformed. Highly recommend Tony and his team.

    We needed a total makeover for both our front and backyard. We contacted Tony with MS Gardening, and he was able to come out promptly and discuss what needed to be done. Communication with Tony was great throughout the entire process, he replied to our questions via email/text the same day and explained work details well. Tony and his team worked tirelessly 7 days a week and finished the work approximately within 3 weeks. We are very pleased with the results. We had the following work done: cement, planters, sod, planted trees and bushes, put in rocks and mulch, installed irrigation system. We definitely recommend Tony and MS Gardening for anyone who needs landscaping done!

    Great service from MS garden. Tony is very responsible for their job. there is a small accident . My window was broken by small rock while removing old concreate. They do fix it before finishing the job.

    I'll bet you are doing the same thing I did a few months ago. Looking for a reference about MS Gardening. Are they any good? Let me save you some time, answer: Absolutely and you should hire them. Look no further. Enough said. But I'm sure you want more details. Tony and his whole crew are: · Professional · Experienced in new lawn replacement and maintenance · Courteous · Hard working and always on time · Conscientious and payed attention to details · Clean and organized Tony, the owner is very knowledgeable about gardening, plants, lawns, irrigation, and more. He was a pleasure to work with and over all just a great and friendly guy. He replaced my whole front yard and all the surrounding plants. You can see from the pictures this was not a small job. I was so impressed with his professional attitude and work I fired my landscaper and have hired his maintenance crew. I'm very happy with their work.

    Being billed for service not being completed.

    I've been with this gardening service for a couple of years and noticed there is an ongoing inconsistency with the service. There's many times they don't show up. They also try to continue to bill for service that's not even done or not fully completed. If you choose to use this gardening service watch your billing. Also, there selective on returning calls, if you need to discuss any concerns. I'm still waiting for a return call from the owner Tony to discuss my concern, my backyard being missed more then a few times and still getting billed. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

Carlos, the…read moreowner of the company, is a delightful person to interact with because he is dedicated to providing the best product out there. We requested Carlos give us a quote for grass installation in our backyard, and he responded immediately, came out to take measurements, and gave us a great quote. Once we agreed, he quickly scheduled the installation. He and his men said it would take two days, and they were totally correct - at the end of two days we had an amazing yard at great value. It was an excellent investment; we loved spending in our backyard after that. We asked All Green Scape to come out again to install even more grass, and they once again provided excellent service in an incredibly timely manner. The grass has thrived beautifully- it is really high quality, both lush and soft. Kids love to roll around on it and play on it all day long. All Green Scape also does our weekly garden maintenance and it's been great as well. You can tell everyone at All Green Scape sincerely cares about making sure their customer's gardens are beautiful, and I really appreciate their expertise and hard wo.

Before committing, we did a ton of research and had five different companies come out to provide quotes. Jacob stood out from the very first meeting. He was the only person who proactively brought a variety of samples for us to feel and see in our own yard, which made the decision so much easier. He is clearly an expert on the product; he spent time answering my many questions and specifically addressed our concerns regarding durability for our dogs and safety for the kids. His professionalism and hustle are top-notch. He sent us a detailed quote the very same day he visited and had a list of references for us to call within 48 hours. Throughout the process, his communication was excellent--he responded to every message quickly, so we were never left wondering about the next steps. On top of the great service, his pricing was very fair and competitive compared to the other bids we received. It's rare to find that combination of product knowledge, efficiency, and honest pricing. If you're looking for someone reliable who does high-quality work, I cannot recommend Jacob highly enough!

They installed the turf in a single piece as I asked and it looks flawless. The edges, the cutouts around the 2'x2' stepping stone make it look like the turf is growing next to the stone.

The estimate was provided professionally and Jacob answered all my questions to allow me to make a good informed decision. Oswaldo and team installed it to perfection. Highly recommended!

    I needed artificial turf for a 25'x12' (300sq ft) area in our backyard. That area once had…read morebeautiful grass but since we adopted a pup a few years ago (he's a 80 pounder now), he has destroyed the lawn completely. Cleaning his muddy paws started to become a chore especially when it rained and the dead patches of grass and exposed dirt definitely was not a pretty sight. We decided artificial turf was our best option. I did my homework and began researching turf installations specifically for dog owners. PET OWNER PRO TIP: Our pup uses this lawn area for number ones and twos and proper drainage was my main focus. For everyone out there that are pet owners and have the same dilemma, here's a few things to consider (just my opinion from forums I read): -Do not use weed barrier -Do not use sand in the top layer of the base material, use finer crushed gravel (above the base rock and below the turf) -Do not use sand as an in-fill, use a pet friendly in fill (we used Camofill, Hugo sells this at his shop) *Sand will hold onto the uric acid and in time, will create unwanted odor. -Purchase turf that is pet friendly (latex free, and has optimum flow backing) Again, primary focus was on permeable materials! I reached out to four distributors/contractors with my wish list above and I received quotes. I also sent a photo of the lawn area that we wanted replaced to simplify the process. What I liked about Hugo's response was he gave me the exact cost for the turf (Freedom 75 Olive) and materials, based on exactly what i was looking for. This is because Hugo is a distributor and has a storefront (off Maybury Road in San Jose) and knows turfs whereas the other contractors knew nothing about pet friendly turf because they were just installers. The only thing with Hugo is, they just sell the turf and they do not do installation...BUT Hugo told me had contacts with installers he has worked with in the past for his other customers. Hugo called his contacts and was able to get back to me the very next day. During my research, i found that installation costs for turf ranges between $7sq ft to $14sq ft. Hugo was able to locate an installer, Leonel, who was able to do the install on the lower end of the sq ft cost. Hugo did the leg work, made the phone calls, and got back to me regarding installation and that was above and beyond his scope since sales of turf is what his store specializes in, not installation. He did me a huge solid by finding an installer- amazing! We scheduled the install the following week. Hugo had the turf, nails and other supplies dropped off at 6AM and Leonel and two of his guys showed up by 10am. They removed and hauled away 3-4 inches of dirt (25'x12' area), brought in base rock and crushed gravel, compacted everything, and cut and installed the grass. They were completely done by 6PM, in one day! And the results are amazing. Their attention to detail showed as I have eight existing sprinklers and they installed the grass neatly wrapped around each sprinkler which I did not expect. Im so impressed with their work and the turf Hugo recommended, that we may convert the front lawn to artificial turf next spring and i know exactly where to buy the turf and who will install it! Thank you Hugo for taking care of us! I always try and support local mom and pop shops and Hugo definitely impressed me with his customer service, extremely fast response time, and no hassle communication. Thanks Hugo, I hope to do business with you again!

I had been frustrated with backyard lawn not doing well due to extensive redwood tree root system and very shady patches (for 37 years since first moved in). That's so until now (mostly done by myself with labor helps) when I learned DIY of laying pavers and artificial turf from watching YouTube clips. You can do it too! I agree totally with the following points from another recent customer: 1) Excellent selections of artificial turf and at a great price (a lot cheaper than Home Depot and better quality). 2) The nice thing is that they are also laid out on display so a visual person, like me, can see what they look like. 3) Excellent customer service with no pressure sale. 4) We were able to take home samples and really think what will work for us. 5) very knowledgeable at the products they sell. A picture is worth a thousand words. Jackie was the one in the office that helped us to accomplish this DIY project. If you're planning on a similar DIY project, I would totally recommend the Artificial turf store as the best fit.
