We had Miguel and his team do a complete rehaul of our backyard, and we could not be happier with…read morethe results. From start to finish, Miguel was incredibly responsive and communicative. He brought us samples to choose from, explained everything clearly, and made the whole process surprisingly easy. His crew was respectful, kind, and clearly skilled at what they do. The final amount we paid matched exactly what he quoted us (with a little extra only for additions we chose along the way, which were always communicated in advance-- no surprises). Our backyard has been completely transformed into a space we'll use every single day. They installed a new deck, retaining wall, turf, drainage systems, a new fence and gates, planters, irrigation, pathway, and planted beautiful new plants and trees throughout the yard. We actually found them here on Yelp, and I'll admit I was a little skeptical of all the glowing reviews-- but they absolutely lived up to the hype. I would hire Miguel and his team again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone looking for backyard or landscaping work.

Most definitely will be looking into regular service now to keep our yard/front yard looking nice and manicured. They had a lot of attention to detail and left the place looking great! Very happy!

Updating with after photos…read more We really enjoyed working with Jose, and would 100% hire him again. Very honest, fair, and performs high quality work (especially for hardscaping and structural items like decks, retaining walls, pavers, drainage, etc). Note: I had a LOT of "so sorry, actually can we do this instead?" (Which would then continually change over the next 3-4 days as I thought through the design.) Jose was very patient and accommodating but also gently pushed back if certain things were not a good idea or in my best interest. He also completed both the initial demo and the final planting, irrigation + gravel stages while we were out of town. Granted, it would've been easier if I were there in person to fine-tune the details and place things just right, but it was amazing to come back to the finished design. I genuinely felt like he wanted to do his best work and deliver on making the backyard exactly what we envisioned, and he did! Thank you SO MUCH, Jose!!

Probably a few hundred $ to fix that problem but how does it not occur to them? The wood surround finish was rough and got worse over time. The joints were tight and now they have expanded and the surround looks pretty unprofessional. The worst is that the drainage changed after they installed patio so now am getting water under my house which I didn't before they did the project- so now I have a major repair. They might give you a low bid but they cut the wrong corners and are non responsive and in any case I wouldn't have them back because they do shoddy work. Beware!

I moved into my current home in 2022 - it had an existing irrigation system but I quickly realized…read morethat it was not in a usable state and for the first summer of living in my home spent hours a week watering plants and grass using a nose. In 2023 I vowed to myself that I would have a functioning irrigation system by the end of the rainy season/start of summer. I reached out and started getting quotes - one of them was from Green Sunsets (Daniel). He was prompt when he came by for the quote and it was clear that he had extensive knowledge of planning and setting up irrigation systems. He ended up quoting me for a). a new system vs. b). going in and troubleshooting the existing system which I appreciated. His quote was reasonable and he was patient and thorough with me when I had a few followup questions - I ended up moving forward with Daniel to do the work. He was able to get me on his calendar pretty quickly and the whole job ended up taking about 3-4 days. Daniel had a team of workers to help him - his team was hard working and I appreciate that Daniel was also present for all of the days and directly checked the new system as it was installed to verify that everyting was set up correctly. In addition to the irrigation work, my yard was also very overgrown - Daniel and his team also did great work for me at the same time in removing a broken trellis, removing pesky vines, and pulling out a bunch of overgrown plants and bushes. Fast forward one year to spring 2024. After the rainy season ended (and irrigation system needed to be used) I noticed that there were a few breaks/leaks in the tubing/lines. I reached out to Daniel to ask about and he came by to my home. My initial thought was that either thirsty squirrels or our gardener had broken a few of the lines. Daniel assessed and came to the same conclusion, but since it was a fairly small task offered to help fix at no charge (even though the leaks were caused by our gardener). Daniel's work left me as a very happy customer and I am happy to recommend Green Sunsets.

He proactively troubleshot a few minor issues I hadn't anticipated during the paver installation and absolutely nailed the final outcome. The pavers were installed properly with correct base and layering for a drive-rated surface. He also completely re-landscaped our front yard, added rock where needed, and built a retaining wall--all executed with care and precision. On top of the quality of work, his pricing was very fair and transparent for the craftsmanship and effort involved. Erik is licensed, dependable, and clearly takes pride in doing landscape work the right way. He genuinely made our house look new again. We plan to use him for our yearly cleanups as well. Such a pleasure to work with--I highly recommend Erik and his team.

Edy is so conscientious. He really cares about his work. He brought several great suggestions to the project which enhanced the result. This kind of thoughtfulness is wonderful. He made sure the concrete block wall extension matched the existing structure, was the same height, which was a better solution than what we originally discussed and added a french drain system to help with water run off control.
