We recently completed a large-scale backyard renovation with Stones Landscaping, and are quite…read morepleased with the results. This involved pouring over 1,500 sq. ft. of concrete, a large retaining wall, a patio deck, a new lawn, and a playground area. Here were some of the highlights of my experience: - Design Guidance: I relied heavily on Baltazar's experience and keen sense of design. His elegant hardscaping solution for the pool transition zones exceeded my expectations and tied the yard together perfectly. - The grading and drainage were very well done. Despite heavy rains, there was zero pooling; the rain gutters were routed directly into pipes beneath the concrete for a clean, streamlined look. - Smart Home Integration: All landscape lighting and irrigation were hooked up to smart-home enabled controllers for total automation and convenience. - The office staff was very responsive, addressing any concerns or follow-up questions usually within a single business day. Props to Gladys and Dahlia! Highly recommended!

Twenty-eight years ago, our family was fortunate to find a great landscape designer and a great…read moreplant visionary to transform our backyard. 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.

We hired Robin to help us completely redesign our overgrown, neglected backyard, and we are so…read morethrilled with the results! 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. We could not have done this project without her!

These guys know how to do *everything* -- from simple yard cleanup, to hardscape, planting, plumbing, electrical, lighting, and irrigation. They are professional and great to deal with.

My yard was a mess that included about 1,000 sqft of grass - occupied by gophers and voles (holes all over the place). Chavez Landscape removed all the lawn, installed gopher wire, synthetic turf, large pavers, and gravel. Now, it's a low maintenance, low water, mid-Century modern oasis! I love it! I worked with Angel to discuss the project and provided him with a picture of my vision for the backyard. Angel and the team completed the project efficiently, on-time as promised, and the result is top notch. I've had a ton of compliments. As the homeowner, the work magically took place while I was at work. I would come home to a tidy backyard ... then the big reveal was exactly as we had discussed and exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend Chavez Landscape!! My project was in Santa Cruz.
