    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.

    Still planning on putting some plants but at this point low maintenance

    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.

    See all

Nicholas Melchor was our primary point of contact and project lead, and he was incredible to work with. Right from the initial design and proposal stage, Nicholas took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, walked us through every material option, and established transparent, realistic timelines. The execution was flawless: * Efficiency & Cleanliness: The demo phase was completed rapidly with minimal disruption, and the site was kept clean and safe throughout. * Craftsmanship: The hardscaping, paver layout, and turf installation are top-tier. The attention to leveling, grading, and clean edge transitions really shows in the finished product. * Communication: Nicholas kept us updated at every single milestone--from material deliveries to billing and schedule checkpoints. No surprises, no delays. * If you are planning an outdoor living or hardscaping project, hire Black Diamond and ask for Nicholas. Highly recommended and great value!

From the beginning, Gasim was professional, knowledgeable, and truly cared about bringing our vision to life. He patiently guided us through the design process, helped us choose the right materials and colors, and always made sure every detail was handled properly. His communication and commitment made us feel confident throughout the entire project, and he often came up with inspiring ideas and creative solutions. Gasim also persuaded the best foreman, Mario, to take on our project despite an already packed schedule. Mario and his crew did an outstanding job with the installation. They were professional, hardworking, and respectful, and they paid great attention to detail. The quality of their craftsmanship was excellent! Not only did many neighbors stop by to give compliments, but our mailman also told us that the quality of the paving is undoubtedly the best in his entire service area. The whole experience was amazing and the final result is incredible. Our outdoor space looks beautiful. Gasim and Mario together are a dream team! They really directed their efforts toward capturing everything we wanted in our project. And whenever unexpected challenges arose, they always tried their best to overcome the difficulties. We truly appreciate Gasim, Mario, and the entire Black Diamond team for their dedication to their work. We highly recommend the Gasim and Mario team at Black Diamond to anyone looking for reliable professionals who deliver quality results.

From the very first phone call, we could tell he knew his craft. He spent generous time listening to our wish list and understanding our vision, explaining the design/build timeline, and answering every "what if" we threw his way. We also loved his design work in his portfolio of course. Shortly after we engaged Taylor, he was on site taking detailed measurements, photos, and even drone shots of our entire front and backyard. He flagged any potential sloping issues, suggested realistic solutions, and connected us to his trusted referral that could further help us. Any time we had follow up questions, he made himself available and responded quickly - no hard sell, just clear information. Although we weren't able to go forward with the full project due to unexpected yard and budget constraints, Taylor handled the change with total professionalism and never made us feel pressured. The insight we gained from his preliminary work was helpful and will be very useful for when we decide to continue with the project in the future. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely easy-to-work-with design partner, we'd highly recommend giving Taylor at Applewood a call.

Having the rocks seemed like a nice thing (low maintenance! Drought resistant! Blank slate!) but we quickly learned it wasn't installed properly because so many weeds began to grow. We received a very quick turn around to get a quote. Taylor met me and we discussed the vision we had for the yard. Taylor explained everything they would do to make sure we had properly installed landscaping. While design adjustments are included--we had VERY few revisions because Taylor really listened to our wishes and executed them so well in the design. Then the work began. I have been so impressed with everything Cesar and his crew have been doing. They leave no small detail untouched. The pipes for our old sprinkler system were such an eye sore. When the crew installed the new irrigation system--they build a box to conceal the pipes. I was not expecting that in the slightest! They are timely with completing the project and do a wonderful job cleaning up. I've had to many neighbors comment on how great the yard looks as they walk by. I'm no longer embarrassed by the "weedy rock pit" in my front yard. I now have a beautiful design that brings me so my joy and pride.
