First time we used Yelp for a project. It was convenient that there were numerous messages that…read morewere sent out to various tree specialists. Noe Pablo was the most thorough in messaging through the Yelp app, so my husband and I chose him. I had 2 medium-sized fruit trees I needed to transfer from my parent's home in Southeast San Diego to mine in North County. I took pictures and he gave us a very reasonable price. We also decided to also add another service to take out our palm tree. There were a couple of mishaps such as: The day he was scheduled to take out the palm tree, he was a no-show and my husband had to call him an hour after he was supposed to arrive. Then, the day after that incident, was the fruit tree transfer. He and his team forgot to bring their dolly. Thank goodness my Dad had one so they borrowed it, but now we have the burden in taking it back. Despite these mishaps, Noe was very knowledgeable and professional in his mannerisms. The day of the fruit tree transfer, he and his team arrived in a timely manner, was efficient and did a great job overall. We were very pleased and will definitely use him again if we have another project.

I found Carmelo on Yelp while searching for a reputable landscaping company to redo our front yard,…read moretrim our large backyard fruit trees, add a timer to the irrigation system, and take care of a few other tasks. I got multiple quotes, and while his pricing was very competitive, what really stood out was how quickly he responded with a detailed quote--much faster than the others. He was also friendly, professional, and clearly very knowledgeable. His crew just finished our project in 5 days, and my husband and I couldn't be happier. They did excellent work, were respectful of our space, cleaned up thoroughly each day (which many contractors overlook), and worked hard the entire time. Gabriel ran our job and he was excellent and always had a smile on his face. I've already shared Carmelo's number with two friends and will absolutely continue to refer him to anyone in need of a great landscaper. We'll also be using him for our monthly maintenance. 5/5--thank you, Carmelo!

My front and back yards are about 10 years old, but still look beautiful due to my diligent…read moremaintenance work. Some things I wish I knew then that I know now might help others when planning their yards. Yes, Smart Landscape does a lovely job. Here's what would have made my upkeep a lot easier. 1. Extra protection ground cover to eliminate weeds. Some yards get no weeds because a super heavy cover has been used. I've spent countless hours pulling weeds since yards were done. 2. Go over what plants are going to be used. If I'd done that, I would've saved money and work to remove those that had needles that made it difficult/dangerous to remove. 3. If the designer had visited front yard, he would have seen the slight slope and the DG pathway would not have been a logical design choice. Rain washes it away and I'll have to eventually figure out a way to close up that space. 4. At that time, I didn't meet with the designer. I should have. Although it's a lovely design, I would have pointed out a change or two I'd have preferred. 5. Gray DG is not readily available and it has been difficult to keep the pathway refreshed. Someone said that he was going to provide it, but never did. Overall, I am glad I hired Smart Landscape. UPDATE: I needed to come back to add another star after carefully considering how wonderful Danny and his team are to work with. I had met with no fewer than nine landscape companies before Smart Landscape and they were nightmares for various reasons. Danny is wonderful to work with and makes sure the customer is happy.

I had been searching for someone to do my patio in front of my townhouse. It was incredibly hard to…read morefind a quality contractor who would do a small job (and not charge for a big job!). Some companies wanted to do the hardscape only, others just plants. After meeting several landscapers and paver companies, I chose Danny and Smart Landscape, in part because they would take care of EVERYTHING from start to finish--concrete and tree removal, paver installation, irrigation, plants, painting, and lighting. Their price wasn't the lowest (or the highest), but I feel I got a lot of value for the money. Danny was kind and very professional throughout the job. He included in the project price my meeting with one of their designers, who made recommendations and helped me visualize what I wanted, and also helped with the selection of plants. Q--the project manager--was wonderful to work with, as well as the guys on the crew. I couldn't be happier with the result! I finally have the space I've been wanting for years, but didn't know how to get there. Smart Landscape made it happen!

I needed a new lawn and got my standard five bids for the job. Michael stood out for all of his…read moreinitial input on the options and then for the details of his bid. He was the only one who detailed every item involved in the bid, including update of irrigation. I've had issues in the past with bids for other projects that I assumed included the little details but didn't and then I had to pay extra. Michael's bid included every detail in writing that you would assume would be a part of a new lawn job and it was very reasonable. He also showed up on time for the initial appointment! His crew was great! Their work was very detailed and clean. The job was done within three days and all of the work area, including the driveway, was cleaned up. They even noted my falling-apart fence gate so Michael gave me a very reasonable quote and they did a great job fixing it for me. There were a lot of details for after-care and I've texted Michael multiple times to confirm. He texts back quickly and I never get the impression he's annoyed (I've sent a lot of texts!). I almost wish I had more yard renovations so that I could hire him again! I did discuss a whole-yard mulch job and will absolutely hire Michael when I'm ready for that. No more getting multiple bids for future yard renovations. I'll just call Michael.

Our extensive project included driveway removal and replacement, patio reconstruction, construction of steps down to our pool, comprehensive planting with irrigation and lighting, and installation of multiple fences/gates. We took our time evaluating contractors and obtaining multiple bids before selecting Michael. He offered the best combination of price and expertise by a significant margin. During our initial consultation, Michael provided excellent cost-saving suggestions that we ultimately implemented, helping us stay within budget without sacrificing quality. Throughout the project, Michael was exceptionally easy to work with. He was highly responsive and accommodated mid-project design changes without hesitation. His installation team exceeded our expectations--they were professional, friendly, and hardworking. They maintained a clean worksite at the end of each day and were consistently respectful of our property and our need to access it during construction. If you're planning a landscaping project, I highly recommend Pacific Landscaping and Maintenance. We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of their work and the professionalism they demonstrated from start to finish.
