You never tell someone that's paying you $500 dollars to take your time and do a professional job to go inside. I should have told him to get the F off of my property and hired someone else. I would have been better off hiring men from Home Depot. Totally unprofessional, rushed the job, ruined a couple of plants and didn't give a shit how it looked, even after I showed the owner the damaged plants and all the broken branches only to find more as the branches dried out in the weeks to come. He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing. I've waited weeks to write this review, in hopes that the job would look better, but it doesn't. Thanks a lot, KAY GREEN LANDSCAPING FOR DOING A SHITTY JOB AND TELLING ME TO GO INSIDE.

The foreman and crews are skilled, professional, and efficient. Even though I had a designer, Keith and his team offered thoughtful suggestions that made the final result even more aligned with my vision. A couple things to keep in mind: as with any contractor, make sure to read your quotes carefully--I missed that trim work wasn't included in the original painting estimate. Also, the teams tend to start early, which was fine for me but might require a heads-up to your neighbors if noise is a concern. Overall, highly recommend them for home renovation projects!

We followed that project shortly afterward with a partial transformation of our front yard, using the same plant visionary who selected plants suitable for our neighborhood next to Almaden Quicksilver Park. As time and deer performed their own transformation, it became necessary to look for a new landscape designer and a new plant visionary, as the professionals with whom we worked more than a quarter century ago no longer were available. After a couple months of searching, we came upon Robin Salsburg and her business, Vision Garden Design, who we selected to redesign our front yard and facelift our backyard. Robin proved herself both a great landscape designer and a great plant visionary, consistent with her business name. Robin prepared detailed drawings, which were easy to understand, and gave us fun homework assignments when it came to selecting plants. There were a lot of species and varieties to consider, and Robin made it simple for us to pare down the number of plants by noting which ones we loved, which ones we could live with, and which ones we hated. When it finally came time for us to implement Robin's final design, we asked her to recommend landscape contractors, and then (with her assistance) interviewed four firms. We eventually settled on K&D Landscaping, and asked Robin to oversee the project to ensure her vision was fully implemented. Robin met weekly with the contractor and us, and after two months of construction the project came out even better than her wonderful two-dimensional drawings promised. We have worked with many design professionals, and we can wholeheartedly say that Robin is among the very best. She focused on our best interests throughout the design and construction phases. Looking back on the project, we feel as fortunate as we did 28 years ago, perhaps even more fortunate because Robin has made our front and backyards better than we ever dreamed.

Since we didn't know where to start with this project, we relied on Robin's great eye for design to envision the space, and she guided us through a step-by step process to help us make all the choices from pavers to plants, so the new garden looks exactly how we hoped it would. We also had Robin facilitate the installation - a must-have service for us. She worked closely with our contractor to ensure everything was implemented according to the design. We would absolutely recommend working with Robin for whatever project awaits you. She is knowledgeable, organized, responsive, kind, and worth every penny.

If you have a foundation crack, save yourself the time and trouble and call Avalon Structural first. I got multiple estimates for my fairly extensive ~23' horizontal crack.

The second will glance at your foundation and immediately tell you it has to be replaced, for an even more handsome price, of course. And then there is Avalon Structural. They will perform a comprehensive and highly structurally sound repair, removing all compromised material, charge a fair price, and stand behind their work with a strong warranty. If you visit their website, read the articles, and watch the videos explaining the right and wrong ways to perform foundation repairs, you will be well-equipped to choose the right company for your foundation job. Or, you can save the time and just call them. We couldn't be happier with our repair. The foundation looks great and feathers in perfectly with the undamaged foundation sections. The repair team was amazing and extremely respectful of our property. The city inspector signed off with zero issues, which speaks volumes about the quality of their work.
