Our journey with the Ruff and Ready family began in 2024. We had wanted to put concrete in our…read morebackyard but unfortunately, our funds had to be diverted to replace our AC. Fast forward almost two years later, we were ready to put the concrete in our yard. When I contacted Ruff & Ready, they had our photos, previous quote, and hand written notes still in their portal. I surely wasn't expecting this. Jeff came out to measure the new spot and confirm the scope of work. He was efficient, flexible with his timing, and arrived in the window given. Jeff's quote was not the most expensive nor was it the cheapest. What made us choose Ruff & Ready you ask? Jeff spoke as if what he said would actually happen. And that's how it went! He was transparent, honest, and didn't fluff anything. He got us a quote for the updated work within 24 hours. His office assistant Vanessa answered all our questions and walked us through the timeline of the whole thing, from start to finish, from signing our contract to paying the deposit to when we would begin work to how to pay the remaining balance. Vanessa answered text messages promptly and also answered the phone. No elevator music on the other line, no 'all of our representatives are busy' garbage. The crew who came out was incredible. They were respectful. They didn't blast music or leave trash. They were thorough and adhered to the timeline given. They closed the gate and ensured it was locked each day, which matters to me as a mom with littles. They parked in the street and moved when I needed to get into my garage. We used Ruff & Ready as a test as our current gardener will be relocating soon. We could not be happier with our experience and plan to use them for future backyard projects. Thank you Vanessa, Jeff, and the Ruff and Ready team!

Best experience possible with Ruff and Ready!…read more Beginning to end, Ruff & Ready gave my family a good price, a low-stress experience, and results better than we expected! We selected Ruff & Ready to do the biggest changes to our raw backyard, wanting to leave some parts for us to do on our own later planter boxes, slope, etc.). Jeff and his team handled: - Gas line to BBQ and fire pit (for us to build/install later) - Redo of our entire irrigation, including a mix of drip, tree bubblers, above-ground sprinklers, and stub-ups for our planter boxes later - Redo of our drainage to ensure good water management on whole property, including accommodating gutters for later - Concrete walkway with raised curb on the side connecting to driveway - Artificial turf for remainder of the yard - Replacing paver deck edging QUOTE: I, at first, thought the quote came in a little high, then I realized that the other half-dozen companies didn't list everything I requested in their quotes, and once pressed, the competing quotes all came up to Ruff's price. Ruff & Ready was the ONLY one that listened to everything I said, didn't pressure me to change what we wanted, and was honest from the start without looking to "change order" everything later. Honest, competitive pricing. TEAM: The team showed up and got to work immediately. They got so much done so fast. It was the same crew every day of the project. The workers, the supervisor, the customer service by phone/email, were all so amazing. Constantly nice and friendly. I had so many questions, and they were patient with me in addressing all of it. They also seemed so happy to be working for Jeff. It's clear he takes good care of his team and we are so happy to give our money to a company like that. RESULTS: Everything was literally perfect. Our artificial turf required so many cuts and pieces, yet we can't the seams! The concrete looks great. My yard is sloped to favor the drains without looking for feeling like I'm walking on a ramp. The turf drains are also so well hidden. The results are literally better than we envisioned. We had a bad experience with a different company for a different home project, and we were scared going into this larger project. Jeff was present and available, reassuring and communicating the entire time. There were no surprise change orders, and no nickel and dining. We literally could not have asked for a better price, team, service, and results. We got exactly what we hoped for, and more! Ruff & Ready's work is helping turn our house into a home for many years to come.

If you're looking for a team that combines skill, creativity, and reliability, Element Pools is the way to go.

The work was very tedious and his crew were very meticulous and detailed as well as conscientious about cleaning up each day. The end product is exactly what we wanted and I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any pool needs

We used Ramon and his company CR Pacific Landscaping for a significant backyard makeover. Our yard…read morewas quite nice, but as we are nearing retirement there were a few changes we wanted to make it our dream yard. First, we considered a swimming pool but the cost, maintenance and several other factors changed our direction to a swim spa. We chose the AquaPlay 13FPP. Because the spa stands over 5 feet tall, we knew we wanted it set into the earth. Next: I've had Koi for many years, but all ponds so far were DIY - it was time to go all in. Plants: As you can see from the "before" photo - plants are important to us. Finally: Ease of maintenance. We wanted an incredible yard that we could enjoy without spending a bunch of time maintaining it. After obtaining several bids and meeting several contractors, we signed an agreement with Ramon. Three of the primary reasons we went with CR Pacific: 1) He was the only contractor we spoke with that had actual experience building "The Vault" - (the basement the swim spa sat in). 2) He had experience building water features and understood the basics, but building a pond of this size and mechanical requirements was new to him. 3) He has a great personality and appeared to be collaborative. The Good: Ramon proved to be quite collaborative. He had ideas, I had ideas and we worked together to land on the best ideas. We had problems arise (see "The Ugly"), but Ramon only delivered solutions or possible solutions. He owned the entirety of the project (even through at least 8 change orders). His common response to a change order: "We can do that" - and they did. From a client/contractor perspective, Ramon has great communication skills. He kept me informed every step of the way. Quality: The photos speak for themselves. Ramon was insistent on doing things right. Ramon had put around a dozen drains in the backyard properly piped to the street. I gave him a hard time as before he took the job, we only had two drains. We did experience some minor flooding when we would have the torrential rains. About a week after the project wrapped, we had several days of torrential rains - not even a puddle in the yard. The Bad: On site supervision could be better. Ramon had about 6 employees, most only spoke Spanish. Because I work from home I kept an eye on the progress. When I would see something that needed correction I had to use Google Translate to communicate with the workers. I often had to text Ramon inquiring if he was going to stop by. This was a significant, complex job. That is really my only "Bad". Clearly "The Good" far exceeds "The Bad". The Ugly: Water, water everywhere... While the vault was being dug, we started noticing water in the bottom of the hole at around 38". We spent a little over a week pumping it out. We contacted the water company who told us there did not appear to be a main break in the neighborhood. They suggested it could be groundwater. When the started digging the pond, groundwater continued to be a problem. Ramon dug and installed a permanent groundwater well - groundwater continues to be pumped out daily. Just another example of Ramon's perseverance. I highly recommend Ramon & CR Pacific for any landscape job.

I had a custom desert-style vision in mind and Mike and his crew delivered while being patient and professional throughout the process. A large project with big ornamental plants naturally brings some challenges, but all issues were addressed and made right in the end. Irrigation was installed to the plants and spacing was done well for a symmetrical, automated setup. The largest tree, a Mediterranean fan palm in a 30" box, was installed expertly - showing they can handle heavy, mature trees as well. Re-Leaf wasn't the cheapest option, but I chose them based on reviews and the experience that was clear during the initial consultation. The end result matches my vision and has made maintenance far easier. Thank you to Mike, Juan, and the team for bringing it to life.
