As part of my project, they removed several 50+year-old rare peony plants that were meant to be…read morepreserved by having the hardscape created as a memorial garden. Ever since I gave them kind and honest feedback about their lack of management on my job leading to those plants being lost, they have done everything possible to avoid fixing costly mistakes they left that were never part of the project scope to begin with. TL;DR: Villa doesn't know the difference between nutrient dense seeding soil used for planting grass seed and plants versus dirty landscaping fill with pulverized stone and gravel used for leveling landscaping, grading and creating the foundation for hardscapes - in case you're confused, one kind grows stuff and the other doesn't, yet these experts who've been in business for 30+ years seem to have no clue about this difference. To cosign another reviewer, "I have never encountered such a poorly managed job. They did a job done, but it came with a lot of stress and distress and disappointments. Please use another company."

He is a great and timely communicator and a competent designer. He listened to our wants and needs including reusing as many of the original pavers as possible to reduce waste. Brett, Garrett and Glenn did the demo and reconstruction. They are professional and pay attention to detail. They exceeded our expectations in workmanship and project duration. Landscaping is not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Villa delivers on their promises and is worth the price.

I selected Inspired Landscaping based on Kara's previous very positive review. I have no 2nd…read morethoughts (well, maybe the overall cost but in the end I think it will prove to be of good value). In any case, ~20 years ago my son and I terraced the slope & garden on the East side of my house and installed timber retaining walls. Despite the fact that I used treated lumber the once pristine barriers had begun to deteriorate. I also had started but never finished several other projects. The patio and backyard were getting shabby and overgrown. It was time for a change. Anyone who may have read some of my previous reviews knows about my somewhat recent physical challenges. I'm not exactly a Spring chicken either. A professional job was in order. In addition to choosing Inspired I selected bluestone rock to replace the rotting timbers. The resulting walls and edging look great and the old beams were hauled away. Finished work included river rock and mulch. Gustavo partners with his father and brother to schlep, prepare, install and clean up. Gus was personable and I found him easy to work with. Everything was completed on time and according to neighbors looks: "amazing." Bluestone is not inexpensive. At first I was hesitant to spend so much, especially since I had done much work myself. But I think that in the long run the landscaping/hardscaping will more than pay for itself in providing years of entertaining and peaceful contemplation. Not to mention that it will likely raise the value of my home. If I have any major landscaping additions, I won't hesitate to contact Gus and his crew. Together they are effective, efficient, courteous and meticulous.

This is a small family owned business that is well equipped and has access to a well trained staff for any project. In my case it it was renovating an rundown and neglected area. Catalina gardens always shows up with direct supervision by one of the owners who stays on site from start to finish. This ensures a high quality of service, better than one where the owner gets the staff underway and then leaves and has to call them back. Site prep was perfect. Cleanup was perfect. The vehicles and staff and equipment that they brought to the site was on target. They were prompt, on time, and the estimate was fair. I will hire them again.
