Tom was incredibly easy and professional to work with. We had reached out to him a few months back to go over a large backyard project that he gave us a quote for. We decided to scale back and asked him to revise his bid. He did so without hesitation and even provided insight and ideas on things we can do now and things we could push off. He and his team came and knocked things out in two days. I asked them to salvage some wood of mine and they took their time removing it to avoid damaging it. I know other contractors would have just said no they cant do that. Tom took his time and answered every question I had to make sure I was comfortable with the yard and how to maintain it. Work done included removing 3 trees, moving and modifying irrigation system and leveling grass area. All of which look great now. read more

Tom was very professional and helpful in assisting me with a last minute emergency. He came out the same day and fixed a few problems around the house caused by a new puppy. I'd use Tom again and recommend him fully. read more

Tom and his team did an outstanding job in completely renovating our front yard. He was very thorough and communicative through the entire process. He walked us through all of our options and his recommendations. He also coordinated with the hardscape team to ensure the entire project was well coordinated. We had artificial turf installed and he went out of his way to show us multiple options including allowing use to see previous installs in person with the owner's permission. The installation went well and he accommodated a last minute request to add stepping pads embedded on a section of the turf. He and his team are perfectionists and took great care to ensure the turf, planters and planter irrigation systems were done right. Highly recommend them for your landscape project. We will go with them again when we do the backyard. read more

Navlan's Landscape - Front landscape: planters, artificial turf, stepping pads by Navlan's - Landscaping Near Me - Lawndale, California

Tom is the best! I had big weeds sprout up in my yard, that eventually turned in to an overdeveloped tree, that eventually grew in to my neighbor's yard without an invite! I had my usual gardener remove it, but it came back within a year. It was time to call the experts. I called Tom from Navlan's. He made quick work of removing the tree, dug out the surrounding area, and took extra steps to make sure the tree wouldn't grow back. He's super knowledgeable and even showed me how close the tree was to my water line which he navigated with ease. I couldn't be happier with the result and can't recommend Navlan's enough! read more

You can't go wrong with Navlan's Landscape! We just completed a MASSIVE re-landscaping project..~6000 sq feet, replacing all hard/soft scape and redoing lighting, irrigation, drainage..and it couldn't have gone better. These projects can easily go off the rails and end up costing 2-3x the original estimate. Tom worked with us every step of the way to make sure we got the best yard for the money we had to spend. He's a great communicator, was on-site just about every day, and a perfectionist that made sure everything was done to the highest quality. He was respectful of our family/pets and was very considerate to our neighbors throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Tom to friends and family knowing he'd deliver the same results and value. read more

Tom, the owner of Navlan's Landscape, is great! He is experienced and knowledgeable, listens to client requests and makes appropriate recommendations, is reliable and responsive, helps clients vet ideas and options, is pleasant and timely, has a conscientious and polite crew, and leaves the job site clean each day. Our project consisted of 1) removing all vegetation and hardscape (including some mighty ficus trees); 2) back yard: designing and installing a butterfly garden with arbor access and a fountain centerpiece, flagstone paths with eye-popping stone filler, three sod components, a tree/boulder island in a grass area, custom raised redwood planter beds, and block wall planting areas with meandering borders; 3) front yard: custom dry river bed with a flagstone bridge and path (yes, it's built to walk on), front tree planter and rock/plant enhancements adjacent to the river bed; 4) new automated irrigation systems for the front and back yards and raised garden beds; and, 5) pouring a new diamond pattern driveway, new front porch, new back porch, new shed pad, new back steps w/step lights, and new secondary patio in the back. Each component is outstanding and Tom ensured there is a natural flow/connection among the components we requested. Our full property re-landscaping job was five months from initial meeting to completion due to covid, late spring rains, and coordination delays. However, we think Tom and his associated cement contractor, Paul of J & D Concrete, were well worth the wait. The final job is beautiful and high quality. Tom was in touch throughout the weeks on hold and, once the work began, it continued every business day. The work was completed earlier than projected and Tom was personally here every day to ensure the quality of work performed. The project included installation of conduit under the new concrete to provide water and power to various areas of the property. Tom and Paul communicated directed with each other about the timing of the demolition, laying the conduit before final concrete forms were set, as well as getting together with us to coordinate the hardscape and landscape design layout. It was so nice to not be in the middle of their scheduling. Tom stayed engaged in providing the best possible outcome throughout the process, not only being willing to make adjustments to address unforeseen factors or changes in scope but initiating modifications or enhancements where aspects of a specific project goal could be better met. On a related "attention to the job" note, with cell phone use so key to how people conduct business I think it's worth mentioning that when Tom was on site, with rare exception, he was not on the phone. When he was on the property he was engaged in working on our job. We had definite features of interest for the plants as to color range, density, etc. Tom provided recommendations and maintenance advice on a range of possible solutions. He provided feedback and alternatives when we presented ideas which didn't fit our stated project goals and priorities but still did what we asked in the end. The curbside appeal of the dry river bed with flagstone bridge is tremendous. Tom took the information we provided relating to features we liked and didn't care for in other dry river beds, the way we wanted the river bed to stand-out from the remainder of the yard, and color preferences and made a design we rate 12 on a scale of 1-10. He gave us the opportunity to select focal stones with him as well as the specific stone sizes for the other components. As our project completion ran past the date of a special event scheduled at our home, Tom brought in extra help and worked his crew a couple of long days to complete front yard design implementation ahead of schedule and ensure the full job site was cleared of tools and safe for access. Prior to engagement, Tom provided a detailed scope of work and cost estimate which we reviewed and modified before signing off and making a deposit. Tom maintained records of job modifications, outlined specific points of increased costs, and decreased contract costs when services were eliminated and/or the product used was below the estimate. We so enjoyed the experience of working with Tom and the outcomes that we can't imagine anyone selecting him and not being delighted! read more

Had a consultation with Tom a couple of days ago and he was wonderful! The Husband and I bought a home that is in need of a complete overhaul in our backyard. Tom came in and met with us, gave us his opinion on a lot of things, and tons of valuable advice on how we could get the process going on our own. His advice was invaluable for us, as first time homeowners, who need to know where to cut costs and where to invest our bucks in terms of our backyard. He knew his stuff, was VERY patient in explaining the process (multiple times, as we kept asking..haha), and just seems to be a down to earth guy who is going to listen to you. I can't wait till we kill off the "grass" in the back so I can hire Tom to design a beautiful new yard :) read more

We decided to sell our East Lakewood home, but hadn't got the landscaping done. We called in Navlan's landscape to complete the project. We liked his design ideas and felt his pricing was good. We had to wait a 2 1/2 weeks for him to start since he had other projects ahead of us. When he started our project, he and his crew stayed on our project until it was completed which only took 1 week and he stayed on budget. We never had to bug him like other trades we've hired in the past. Tom is the owner and was a pleasure to work with. He has a calming effect, especially when hubby and I have different ideas. Here's where his experience pays off. He steered us away from problems our ideas were creating. Our project came out beautiful. Not your average run of the mill landscape either. He used plants you don't see every day. We loved his completed project and so did the people who wanted to buy the house. We received 9 offers to buy our house and most came in for more than what we listed the house for and for more than we hoped for. We really feel the beautiful landscape added the extra value to our house. We highly recommend this very likeable, honest and reliable family owned company. read more

Working with Navlan's Landscape was exceptionally easy. The plan was created & presented quickly, followed by a clear payment schedule and the work began right away. The team was professional, friendly and incredibly efficient. My husband and I felt heard every step of the way. The final product exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Navlan for any landscape needs. read more

Tom was so helpful in troubleshooting my landscape lights that were not working. During the 1st visit he made some really helpful suggestions which I followed, but the lights were still not turning on. Then he came again and found an error in the wiring I had done and offered an inexpensive resolution to the issue which worked! He saved me 100s of dollars. I would definitely recommend him for any backyard work because he's honest and knowledgeable. read more

Thanks to Tom...our yard is now the talk of the street! We had our front and backyard redone- from all grass to low maintenance. Tom made it look amazing with the varied plant colors !

Tom and his crew turned the outdoor messes at our new home into beautifully landscaped front AND back yards. He integrated what was already in place with more unique touches to update our home at a reasonable price. His experience and creativity helped turn our home into a beautiful showpiece without the prospects of high maintenance. read more

Tom and his team just finished our backyard renovation and we could not be happier with the results. Tom gave us a couple quotes for a couple different options and was willing to make tweaks here and there as needed. He created 3 distinct areas in our backyard, a patio space, a large area of beautiful artificial turf and a play area for our son. He also cleaned up and mulched our garden beds that we will eventually add plants and flowers to down the road. Tom kept in constant contact with us and even finished ahead of schedule. His team of men were hard-working and courteous and always cleaned up at the end of the work day. We will recommend Navlan Landscape to all our friends and family for their landscaping jobs and hope to be able to work with Tom again in the future for our front yard when the budget allows. read more

We just completed a re-landscape of our backyard. We were not too savvy on plants, Tom Navlan suggested a design and completed the whole job including, demo, new plants, irrigation, and lighting. Tom and his crew did a great job, we are getting many compliments from our neighbors. Anyone looking for a contractor who is very professional and delivers what he promises, needs to contact Navlan's Landscape. read more

We called Tom out to look at our front yard. He got back to me quickly and was able to come out later that day. He spent over an hour with my wife and I as we were trying to navigate through some of our ideas for the space. I think he quickly realized we weren't fully ready or had thought through all the job entailed, but he still gave us his time and energy! He was able to give us some direction and clearly outline what steps would need to take place for the project to be completed. We realized that we need to save a bit more to do the project right, but we know who to call when we pull the trigger! Thanks, Tom! read more

The Navlan team did an amazing job at completely cleaning up our front and back garden in preparation for renting out the house to tenants. Tom initially came out to give a quote and is extremely knowledgable and passionate about what he does. He's very creative, offers good recommendations and above all, does not try to up sell! Their prices are very reasonable and competitive. Despite being very busy with other jobs, Tom was very flexible about squeezing my project into his busy schedule. I only wish I had have called these guys sooner as the team did a fantastic job! I would definitely use the Navlan services again! read more

Left voice mail and sent text message. Never got a call back. Not very profesional should at least have the courtesy to let you know that he's not available. read more

Tom and his team did an amazing job on landscaping my entire yard--replacing grass with blue fescue, pea gravel and completely transforming an area around a large tree. It looks fantastic. He also put in a drip irrigation system. My only regret is that I didn't call sooner. I procrastinated so long and then was in a rush to get it done before I had family visitors. Tom and his team were extremely thorough and got it done in ample time before my family arrived. They all loved it too! I feel that Tom's prices are very fair and that he has a good eye and very knowledgeable about landscaping and what works where. I highly recommend Navlan's Landscaping. read more

Tom has done 2 projects for us in the last year, redoing our front and back yards. We are very happy with both projects. Tom and his concrete guy, Paul Jauregui, worked together to totally redo both spaces including coordinating a pool remodel. We give him very high marks, as both Tom and Paul are easy to work with, and have come in within their estimates on both jobs. Both jobs were finished in a timely manner, although the backyard required coordination with a pool contractor as well. Tom also went the extra mile for us, as we wanted several laser cut art panels with lighting. Tom had not done this type of installation before, but found a contractor who could do the job and brought that in within budget. It is beautiful, and Tom's lighting makes the a focal point of the yard. We highly recommend Tom Navlan and Navlan's Landscape. read more

Wow! What can I say about Navlan's Landscape ...a lot! Tom is the best of the best...the 10 out of 10. We were looking for an expert designer in landscaping and outdoor lighting designs and we found him, Tom Navlan owner of Navlan's Landscape. Tom designed a complete redo of our front and back yards, which included two very large and overgrown stucco planter boxes. Tom and his crew completely demolished both yards and rebuilt them by installing new drip irrigation systems, sprinkler system, tons of lighting, drought tolerant plants, trees, and lawns. We installed Marathon 2 sod in our front yard and synthetic turf by Tiger Turf in the back yard. They both turned out beautiful! Navlan's Landscape uses only the highest quality products on the market. Tom is not only an expert in his field, but very professional, detail oriented, dependable, friendly, communicates well and keeps you within budget. What Tom has accomplished with his vision and expertise, has taken our yards from meh to absolutely stunning! The showstopper on the block!!! We are so very happy with these beautiful results! I would strongly recommend Navlan's Landscape to anyone ... you will not be disappointed. We most definitely will use Navlan's Landscape again! read more

Tom and his team are easy to work with, very professional and the end results were amazing! Tom worked closely with us to develop and implement a fresh new look for my Father's yard (both front and back). Tom is a great communicator and did an outstanding job of discussing what he was proposing to do based on the requirements we gave him. His team is pleasant (and really fun) to work with. They showed up on time, worked really hard, and cleaned up the site before leaving each night. Additionally, Tom called me one week after completing the project to check on the status of the yard and see if we had any questions or issues. Overall, I would rate Navlan's Landscape as top notch, and would not hesitate to recommend them. read more

I selected Tom Navlan to do my landscaping project because of all the great reviews he has received on Yelp. I contacted another company at the same time I contacted Tom. I heard back from Tom within the hour, never heard back from the other guy. Tom really listened to what I had in mind for the project. He worked with my ideas, my budget, and as unexpected issues came up, we worked together until we got it right. He has assembled a great team with Stormi Weathers as designer, and Paul Jauregui as hardscaper. The beautiful result, which includes a Tuscan-inspired landscape featuring an outdoor kitchen with fireplace, pizza oven and BBQ, has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Tom and his team for any landscaping project. In the course of their work, they exhibited the highest level of skill and professionalism. And I must add, they are a fun group to work with. If it ain't fun, why do it? read more

Navlans Landscaping was fantastic, no regrets hiring them! They are friendly and know what to do and how to do it, very knowledgeable! They landscaped what little landscape I had and helped take care of a large savage vine that was climbing up over from my neighbors unit, growing up my 2 story house and into my rain gutters! I was so relieved to have their help. The work was unmanageable to do myself and they were so quick, clean and professional, I wish I had hired them much sooner. I am definately going to refer them to my friends and family! Thanks Navlans! read more

After dealing with another "landscaping" company my backyard was left with a lot of unfinished work. I found Navlan's Landscape and decided to give them a call. From the beginning to the end Tom and his team were very professional. Tom worked with my wife and I to transform our backyard into an area we enjoy spending a lot of time in. We will definitely be calling Tom back out for our next landscaping project. read more

I left phone messages and even an e-mail. He never returned the calls or e-mail. Too bad because he did a nice job at a neighbors home.

We called Navlans to redo our front lawn on our rental property. He did get back to me to schedule a time to come out. He came measured the lawn and gave us some ideas. We had requested Seed, Sod, and drought resistant options for the lawn so that we can decide which we would go with. He got back to use with 1 quote for SOD and when I asked for the others we never heard back. His quote was substantially higher than the others we received. We ended up spending half with another company and got the lawn done to our liking for a rental property. read more

I left 2 messages, never called me back, I also called 3 times without leaving a message and the phone was never answered.

The work that Tom does is absolutely amazing. He was incredibly easy to work with, professional, and had great ideas in transforming our front yard and backyard. He gave us a reasonable estimate and worked within our budget. It was a relief to find that the original estimate didn't change much when the project was complete. The amount of work he did was impressive and he completed the work faster than orignially planned. His employees were very clean and always cleaned up after themselves daily. He additionally had great communication skills. He gave us frequent updates and got back to us when we had questions- which was a lot!!! One of the great things I appreciated most was his honesty. Every time we are outside we get compliments from neighbors and people driving by. Don't hesitate to use Tom, really one of the best decisions we've made. read more

Tom Navlan is a licensed landscape designer who can do design, installation, and repair of plants,pathways, lighting, water features, and more. He has been helping me for many years and is very reasonably priced. I have yet to find a problem or challenge that he can't solve. read more

We had Navlans Landscaping redo our front and back yards and they did a great job. We needed a lot of work on our sprinkler system as well and they handled that too. We described what we were looking for and Tom came up with a design that was just what we wanted. Tom provided a detailed estimate for the job and was able to give us options for some additional items too. And the final cost came in right at where the estimate was. Tom and his crew were excellent to work with as well, very timely and courteous. A few weeks later we had some questions and needed a bit of follow up work and they responded right away. We'd highly recommend them! read more

Tom designed and installed new landscaping for our front yard, including new landscape lighting, trees, plants and updated sprinkler system. It was a fairly large job, and he demonstrated creativity, knowledge of horticulture and deep experience. They worked with a stone mason, to create new flower planters around the trees, driveway and flower beds. Tom was meticulous, hard working and conscientious, and finished the job on time. We are extremely happy with our new landscape, and would unequivocally recommend Tom for your landscape needs. He's a talented professional! read more

After careful research decided to give Navlan's first crack at our backyard makeover. Placed 3 calls and left 3 messages. Never received a return phone call or message. Very disappointed. Even a message to say "we're too busy right now to accept new clients" would have been appreciated. read more

Our project required brick work, new concrete, moving a retaining wall, sprinklers, sod, new bed plantings, lighting, tile work, and a 36 inch box tree. Tom sub contracted the concrete work, his recommendation was excellent they removed an old brick flower bed next to the driveway and poured new concrete so we have a bit more room. It came out better than we expected. They worked clean and on time. Tom also removed a large tree and we converted the area to a utility spot. All our timers (lights and lawn) were relocated to that space, Tom worked with our electrician, no problems there. We also had a new concrete pad poured there by Toms sub-contractor. We were a little concerned about this because of an existing a/c compressor but it came out perfectly. We experienced a problem when working on the flower bed retaining wall, discovered the previous owner replaced the water feed to the house only two inches below the top soil and they did not use copper. We also found a clean out trap buried in the flower bed, and it was capped improperly using duct tape and rubber. Tom replaced all the pluming properly and up to code, none of which was anticipated in our original bid. We drove him crazy with the plant selection but he was patient with us and hung in there, the final product is better than we hoped. We will definitely use him again and we highly recommend him. read more
