I received several bids (7) for my project and decided to go with Natures Harmony based on the completeness of the bid, value, engagement during the bid process, and timing. The project included demo of old landscape, new drip system, lighting, plants, ground cover, and pavers for about a 1/2 acre backyard. I work from home and was able to observe Richard and his team throughout the process. It didn't take long to recognize I selected an excellent contractor. Richard and his team spent considerable effort properly preparing (grading, tilling, clearing) the yard. Richard kept in regular communication throughout the project regarding progress, material selection, and vision of the project. Attention to detail was evident throughout the project. Even when Richard was offsite picking up supplies, the quality and effort of his team never declined. The area was always left clean at the end of each day. Richard completed the project on time and on budget. It is clear Natures Harmony takes considerable pride in their work. Their focus is on your project (not the next one). Nature's Harmony is a rare find in today's world. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nature's Harmony to my family, friends, and neighbors. One of the very best contractors I've ever hired. read more

Richard was exceptional. And I'm so impressed with the work he's done for our home, it's made it feel more of a home. Thank you for your time, patience and attention to detail on this project! Richard has has a great team, best the deadline and worked in and through the rain. 10 out of 10, would recommend! read more

I called upon Natures Harmony-Richard for a quote to extend drip line from our backyard to the front due to an irreparable drip line in front, along with multiple other issues. Richard responded almost immediately and came out promptly. I can't say enough about how professional and hardworking Richard and the team were start to finish, and how willing they were to masterfully tackle every challenge along the way in our decades old landscaping, including a major leak in another area that I didn't realize was there! They are prompt and proficient and all with reasonable pricing. So grateful we found Natures Harmony and feel like we have finally arrived at our Go To landscaping company. Thanks Richard! read more

Nature's Harmony - Beautiful, low maintenance front yard - Landscaping Near Me

Richard at Nature's Harmony did wonders for our back yard. They dug it out completely, re-graded it, installed sprinklers, grass, drip lines, plants, and bark & rocks. We were very happy with it! Richard and his team consulted us regularly throughout the project to make sure they were meeting the mark, even if it meant they had to spend extra time making sure it was what we wanted. Once the job was completed, Richard stayed in touch and even visited a year later to check on the work, provide some supplemental bark, and help us update the watering schedule. We are grateful for this service and would recommend it to others! read more

We are so grateful to Nature's Harmony, especially Richard and his crew. We have a beautiful backyard garden that we needed some help sprucing up, filled with many flowers, herbs, fruit trees and ornamental plants. We were planning on putting our house on the market, and wanted to work with a team that would do our garden justice. Richard responded to our call very promptly, and came by to give us an estimate. He was timely, professional, and knowledgeable. It was wonderful that he wasn't at all intimidated by our lovely, but somewhat overgrown garden. He knew exactly what we wanted, it was so easy and a pleasure to show him our garden. He gave us a great estimate, and assured us that the pruning we needed would be done to our specifications. In the pruning of our trees, shrubs, and vines, they were mindful to discuss with us in advance how much to cut back in order to keep the plants happy, the flowers blooming, and the fruits available in the timeframe we were working with. Richard is detailed, a great listener, and we felt we could trust him completely. About two weeks later, we had some back and forth, and Nature's Harmony was able to complete everything we asked, and even more! For example, they noticed that our hanging baskets in front of the house was not on our drip system- and they just put it in for us, without us needing to make another specific request. They totally went above and beyond and made our garden and front look beautiful and polished. As home sales go, of course, through the course of a month, we kept having additional requests of Richard's crew, and each time, he responded with professionalism and kindness. We decided to relocate so that our home would be staged and cleaned up, to put it's best foot forward. We knew we could rely on Nature's Harmony to do a great job, even without us there. Richard woud keep us updated on anything that was relevant. We were so appreciative to have such a responsive, professional, kind, and knowledgeable team to rely on! On one occasion, we requested specific weeding on an area of our garden for the listing pictures, Richard responded that he could get around to doing it on the following Tuesday. On Wednesday, Richard called and apologized that something came up and his team was unable to complete the job on Tuesday, would it be alright if they came by today to finish it? That really gave us trust in Nature's Harmony. So many vendors fail to complete things on time, and they're full of excuses, Richard simply apologized and tried to work with us to find the best possible alternative. We appreciated his apology and honesty so much; in these times after COVID, we've all come to appreciate how things don't always work out perfectly on time, but wow, the results of Nature's Harmony's work speaks to the care and dedication they bring to every project, every task. We sold our house, and our garden was a major feature. It would not have been possible without the beautiful and dedicated work Nature's Harmony brought. We are so very grateful to them, and it's just so wonderful to know there are lovely people out there who go the extra mile just out of love of their work- Nature's Harmony, thank you for doing a beautiful job, for your hard work and dedication and kindness! read more

Great job with our backyard and front yard. Richard and team got all our requests and it looks amazing! Great family owned business to work with. Highly recommend! read more

We had Nature's Harmony excavate our backyard and install a large section of DG. After getting multiple estimates, we decided to go with them are are so happy we did. While most other landscapers only wanted to work with us if we had them do an entire project costing upwards of $10,000, Richard was willing to do the work we needed help with and let me do the mulching and planting since I've recently gotten into gardening and was also working on a tight budget. Richard was so patient and made three separate trips to our house before we hired them because I kept changing the design of the project. Communication was seamless and he responded promptly to all my questions. The crew worked hard and efficiently to get the job done and were thorough cleaning up afterwards. Thanks to Nature's Harmony, we are going to have the backyard we've been hoping for. We'll definitely hire them again for any future landscaping. (Picture of some of the DG they installed. Ignore the bare area around it - Richard was willing to entertain the novice DIY landscaper I've become as I plan to mulch those areas and put in native plants) read more

Nature's Harmony - DG patio - Landscaping Near Me

The Nature's Harmony team was superb in helping us implement our vision of a front yard without the headaches and high water consumption of a traditional lawn. We had previously hired the team in 2022 to help with a backyard clear-out and heavy pruning of numerous overgrown shrubs in our new house (after seeing the transformative work they did on our neighbor's front yard). After a lot of research and planning, we came up with a design that incorporated a lighted new walking path to the front door, free trees from the Sacramento Tree Foundation, pollinator friendly drought tolerant plantings, a small sitting area, and a colorful, textured palette complimented by a dry creek bed and small mounds. We showed Richard our design and were relieved to learn he could help us think through the final pieces of the design/implementation and fit us into their schedule. His knowledge and personal insights we truly valued. Each day from sunrise onward, the Nature's Harmony team worked steadfastly with a tireless work ethic! Regeither Richard or Francisco checked in about the project status, and we often brainstormed together when changes were needed at various stages. Team members Francisco and Mel daily displayed their amazing strength, stamina, professionalism, and versatility. After two weeks (on schedule!) we had a front yard that went beyond our vision, and paid a final invoice that was fair and well-deserved (Cost-wise, we saved a little by shopping for plants ourselves at several sites in the region). Now a month later we daily enjoy a much more beautiful view (and no mowing!) and look forward to seeing this special garden mature. read more

Richard and his team did an excellent job in reforming my front yard and backyard. Weeds and unwanted plants have been removed. Weed barrier has been installed. More rocks have been added to reduce weed growth. Got rid of the ugly low quality black mulch with good looking lava rocks. He even gave me a discount for hiring him to do both front yard and backyard. Reasonable pricing and definitely recommend Nature's Harmony to everyone! read more

Fantastic service! Very thorough. They removed a tree tumor from our yard. Did so without harm to the tree. Professional and reliable.

They did a great job. Friendly, timely and accommodating. Father and son a great pleasure to work with. Will use them again.

Wow WOW! initially my appointment was supposed to be on Monday but they had a cancellation on Friday the week prior and asked me if I wanted to be seen early which was perfect! They showed up on time firstly, which as we are so far out here, was super amazing. They fixed our sprinkler system which had some leaks and a broken irrigation valves and ran a new low voltage wire to our timer and set our timers for us. Installed 3 new sprinklers and lowered some that were missing the center of our lawn. They did a great job and even walked me through all of it after step by step! They addressed my needs and even made suggestions about things I was not sure about. We just moved into our house so I tried to mow the grass and cut around the areas that they would be working but I forgot to go around my planter boxes near my drip lines. Not only did they cut near the lines but they cleared up the whole area around them and made it look great. Last minute they even added a gutter cleaning to the job! The area they dug up was almost completely undisturbed and still looks nice and even. On top of that I had been doing yard work the other day and had two piles of leaves in my yard that were not in the area they were working and they cleaned them up for me!!! Their prices are reasonable for repairs and I also asked about their lawn service. If I am not able to keep up on my yard when I start back at work I will definitely be enlisting them. I would definitely recommend them and, if you're reading this you should definitely give them a call or message them for a quote. read more

We hired Nature's Harmony to plant 15+ fern pines and a couple of baby spruce trees in our backyard and give our plain backyard some color. We love the way it turned out! They did a great job with the trees and hooked them up to an existing drip line hose. The ground in Elk Grove is so hard, like clay and cement in some points. They have the tools and manpower to make the holes for the trees saving us body aches, time and energy. The crew finished the project in 2 days and cleaned up the area really well, I was very impressed. When we met Richard, he was friendly, informative and easy to talk to and had great suggestions. He gave us a fair price on the work and we are so glad we hired him. I would highly recommend! :) read more

Richard was all around fantastic. Showed up right on time. Very easy to talk to. Had killer equipment that made the job smooth and easy. His price was very reasonable--I had gotten several quotes. I would have paid for given his expertise. He was able to remove a stump that was very close to irrigation piping. He also gave me a plan to kill the roots with the stump gone. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Richard was FANTASTIC! Excellent communicator and arrived right on time (actually a few minutes early). He's very knowledgeable and made sure to ask important questions I hadn't even considered.

10 Stars would be a truer measure of the worth of Richard's Tree Care and Landscape! Richard and his father came out almost immediately to give us estimate, which was very reasonable. The crew's work was fantastic! They pruned our 5 trees; replaced 3 sprinklers; replaced faulty drip irrigation lines; aerated, reseeded and fertilized our lawn; and pruned some palm fronds. After completing these tasks, they cleaned up and hauled away all the green waste. Our back yard was left immaculately clean.

Richard and Francisco came out and assessed what I needed and gave me some great ideas for my front yard. After they were done it came out beautiful, the best yard in the neighborhood. They are extremely hard workers and were focused on the job. I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

Simply superb. Richard and his crew transformed an overgrown front yard into a neighborhood focal point. Richard effectively melded my objectives with his unique vision for the front yard to produce a design that effectively blended with existing terrain and neighborhood aesthetics. The result was an infinitely more attractive and functional front yard that has received kudos from all. The process took approximately four days with Richard's crew working diligently - altering and molding the landscape. The crew also renovated the side areas of the home's back yard. Before, the areas were overgrown and nonfunctional. Subsequent, the areas were charmingly transformed into walkways surrounded with complimenting flora and river rocks. Richard was very communicative throughout the entire process about any design changes, and/or plant and rock selections. No words can express my appreciation to Richard and his crew. Their efforts added to the cohesiveness and beauty of the surrounding neighborhood - as well as increasing my home's property value!! I will most definitely continue to use Richard's services and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to improve their yards and or gardens. Nick - Folsom read more

Great service! Came out for a free inspection and completed the job in the same day! Way more reasonably priced than other quotes and they did a fantastic job! Will definitely use them again! read more

Extraordinary expertise, vision and workmanship from Richard Torres and his dad Francisco. They were easy to contact, gave us two quotes, sent me several emails so I could forward to my insurance company for reimbursement. Over July 4th someone thru a firecracker in our yard that started a fire burning the grass dead. After consultation with Richard we decided to do bark and gravel to forego having to use so much water. The results are just amazing! Thank you. Hire these guys you will be pleased. read more
