Pristine Gardenscape did a great job at my home this past weekend. Yair came to assess the unleveled pavers caused by tree roots from my next door neighbor. The estimate for repair came quick and was fair. His team came to my home a few days later to work on the project which they completed in 1 day. They did a great job and the pavers seem very safe and level for my kids to play on again. I highly recommend them for any job. read more

Don't hire these guys. Not only are they bordering on criminal in both their pricing and in the quality of their work, but they don't even come to close to their name: a) their work is far from "Pristine" in that it is always messy, negligently rushed, and embarrassingly poor in quality (see the below notes about their lack of leveling their surfaces); b) they aren't good with "Gardens" - the lead guy, Yair, even told me directly once that he doesn't "really know anything about plants;" and c) they don't really know how "scape" anything with any quality. I don't even know where to begin. Suffice to say that I've never in all my years ever actually written a bad review of anyone - no matter how negligent their work - because I don't believe in it. That being said, in their case, the more time that passes and I see just how shoddy the work was and how criminally overpriced it was, the more I see that they saw me as an easy mark and they marked me. I hired them a couple years ago to do some hardscaping and landscaping work. Please see the below notes about the problems. I wish I had never hired them or bought into Yair's lies, excuses, or his hyper-defensive literal whinging. 1) Whenever I questioned the work quality or pointed problems out that they should have caught because they were blatantly problematic, Yair was either extremely defensive or always tried to blame the problem on something else. He strikes me as a massive manipulator. 2) They hardscaped some blue stones for a patio area. I had been explicit that they needed to do the hardscaping blue stone patio without cement. They made excuses for one area of it to need to be done with cement. Fine, I agreed to that. Then they proceeded to use cement on a normal flat section of ground that didn't require it. Cement is significantly easier to work with and make level. Despite this, there were sections of the patio that were so out of level that they had a bowl-like parabola shape. Of course the guys doing the work never noticed it. Likewise, Yair, who gets paid extra for his supposed diligent supervision didn't notice it (because he never came to check on it). When I first brought it up to Yair, he said it couldn't be helped due to the ground. When I persisted and pointed out that the ground was dirt and could be made to whatever level it needed to be, he finally relented (without an apology for the negligence). 3) They charged me $15k for a 25 foot length of outdoor stairs that are rebarred into the ground. We're not talking about anything fancy here. When I pointed out that the stairs were not level, Yair again said that it couldn't be helped. Not knowing enough, I ok'd it. I've since had a landscaper over who walked me through the rise and run and showed me how Yair was pedaling BS my way, yet again, and beyond grossly overcharging me. 4) They charged me $5K to put in some plants with some above-ground irrigation hosing on a dirt slopeside. They never reviewed the size of the plants they'd plant with me (they got the cheapest and smallest ones they could find) and, what's worse, 2 of the 5 varieties they planted weren't even what I'd explicitly asked for. When I questioned Yair about it, a supposed landscaping expert, he literally said to me, "I don't really know much about plants." Likewise, the jutenetting was horrifically messy. 5) Despite paying his crew for every day of extra labor that came up when some unexpected dirt moving came up, Yair whined to me (often) about how the project was taking more time than anticipated. He literally whined. AND...what's worse, because I'm kind and generous, in response to his whining, I gave a gift of an extra day's labor to try to help them out given that the project was taking more time than anticipated (as if that's my responsibility). A week later, Yair called to tell me he had forgotten to account for one of the days of labor for his crew and that I owed him for an extra day. I had to point out that it was a good thing I'd already paid an extra day out of the goodness of my heart. 6) They hastily and with terrible irrigation planted some ground cover for me, of which has now mostly died. You should have seen how quickly his guys were planting the ground cover, they weren't even bothering to get the roots in the ground. They literally just placed it on top and I had to go down later and try to remedy it. The inground drip irrigation system they put in, no matter how long it is run, just makes little sparse wet spots in the ground and doesn't get to all the plants. They also promised me 4" of topsoil for the groundcover and it was only 1-2" in many places. I sent him pictures showing him. He, of course, denied it and said that he'd come by to measure it himself. Again, he was pedaling lies. These guys are the worst. Yair is a charlatan. Don't hire them. read more

Yair and the team created a great experience from start to finish. From the initial planning and design to the final clean up, communication was clear, timelines were held and they even went the extra distance when we decided on some additional scope. Highly recommend Pristine Gardenscape and will definitely utilize their services in the future read more

Called them twice. Promised to come out and give a quote before Christmas and then after. Never showed or called.

My wife and I had an amazing experiencing working with Pristine Landscaping. We worked with them on a project under the LADWP turf replacement program and they transformed our turf front yard into a beautiful drought-tolerant landscape. Yair and his team were highly professional, communicative and ensured the job was done to our 100% satisfaction. Yair and the team went above and beyond by following up with us after completion of the job after we noticed some weeds starting to sprout up. He sent a team member to address the issue and also has followed up himself to check on the growth of the new plants. We could not recommend Yair the Pristine Landscaping team any higher, would give 10 stars if we could! read more

I have been contacted them since 2021 October. It took a while because it took some time to get approval from HOA. But periodically I told them the progress. After submitting HOA I called them to make sure they understand the progress. They told me that They will be available at the end of September. I told them that's fine with us. A few days later we got approval from HOA. I contacted them again to get a quote on final approved plan. They said they would get back to me but never gave me a quote. So I contacted them again and they told me they aren't going to do it. I understand that they are busy and all, but it would have been nice if they just tell me that they would not do it in the beginning. What a waste of time. read more

We highly recommend Yahir and his team. I found them on Instagram and followed his work while I was searching for the right contractor. When we had the first consultation he was very professional and easy to get along. Not giving me the runaround like other guys. I had a drawing of the design and that I pictured and he follow my plan with precision. They finished the project very fast, and even led us to add other little side project. They are perfectly bilingual which was another thing that we were looking for. Their crew was great and very clean and respectful. Beni was great too. Love the finished project. read more

I wouldn't say these guys were bad, but I needed to wait until it was done and decide how to write a review based on their customer service after a few months down. I am not happy after the fact we found a problem with our turf only 4 months after we installed it. We paid 37k for this job. The turf on the side of our house melted. We were never informed glare from a window would melt the turf. They refused to follow through with fixing it and of course, claim its not their fault. If we were informed better, then at least could have made a better informed decision. Communication with his foreman/ employees were also bad during the project. We had to keep a close eye on them constantly because they kept making the same mistakes. Unfortunately, Prestine doesn't stand out for me, they are just the same typical contractor that finishes the job and doesn't care about customer service and warranty after! read more

Pristine Gardenscape - Melted turf Yair clearly knew when he returned our call but tell us it's not their fault - Landscaping Near Me - Calabasas, California

After more than a year of thinking, researching, taking water-district classes and assessing landscapers, I am very happy that I contacted Yair with Pristine Gardenscape. He was immediately responsive and communicative and remained so throughout the project. The team of workers were absolutely amazing, precise, hard-working and friendly. The project began and completed exactly as Yair promised with honest and fair pricing. We removed the turf and now have drought-tolerant plants, drip irrigation, a new pathway and porch, lights, dry-river bed and decorative pebbles. Together with the landscape architect at Belvedere Landscape Design, Yair and the team installed a beautiful transformation of my front yard that I could never have imagined would end up so beautiful. No need to look elsewhere. Pristine Gardenscape is awesome! read more

I worked with Pristine Gardenscape to redo my backyard. Yair paid attention to my specific requests and responded promptly to my questions and fine-tuning of the project. When the crew started, they were very polite and worked efficiently. Yair checked-in daily to monitor the progress and to make sure the work met my expectations. The project cost was not the lowest or highest quote I received but based on other project experience it was a fair price. I highly recommend Pristine Gardenscape for excellent service and great results. read more

We couldn't be happier with the job that Yair and his team did. The entire process was great. They were always responsive, on time, hard working and even when we wanted to make a couple changes in the middle of the job they were happy to accommodate. I will be referring this company to everyone I know with landscaping needs!! Thank you Yair and thank you for my beautiful front yard!! read more

Pristine Gardenscape just finished my backyard, and I couldn't be happier. They put in a concrete pad and built a gazebo that looks spectacular. They did another sitting area on the other side of my pool with the coolest pavers I've ever seen. The design that they did was amazing. After that, they refreshed all of my planters with new plants and bark. The whole yard really sparkles. Yair and his crew really did a great job. read more

We used Pristine Gardenscape to put in drip irrigation, a low retaining wall with French drain, drought friendly modern landscaping around our backyard pool and kids play area, pool equipment hideaway, and drought tolerant driveway yardscaping. While not the least expensive, fairly priced and the quality of work and materials is apparent. Yair and his crew were fantastic. Always polite, respectful of the inconveniences a major home project entails, committed to getting the job done, and always checking with us on options to ensure we were happy with the results. Yair was flexible with the changes we made along the way, too - our initial job became a much bigger project as we started to add things to it and he and the team were amazingly accommodating. To boot, Yair stands behind his work even after the job is done. We highly recommend him and his team. read more

Pristine Gardenscape just completed a large project for us and we are very pleased with the results. We have a large lawn area in front of our home along with a large courtyard area, and Yair and his Team did a great job in developing a new look that has continuity and appearance. We particularly appreciated how proactive they were in suggesting ways that we could achieve these objectives. Thank you to the Pristine Gardenscape Team for their attention to detail and working with us on a look and functionality. read more

We have a big front and backyard and needed to cut back on our water use. We were approved for the LADWP lawn rebate program and hired Pristine Gardenscape because of their experience with the program. Yayir and his team did everything on schedule, which overall took two weeks. They demoed the old landscape and hauled them away. They created the necessary rain bed, and provided and planted all of the California native species according to the LADWP approved plan. They retrofitted our existing sprinkler lines to drip irrigation. When there was a problem with some of the plants dying due to some of the drip irrigation clogging, they came back and replaced the plants and upsized the drip irrigation lines at no cost. They even helped us with the final application to get the rebate. Please see before and after pics below. Overall, I would highly recommend. read more

Pristine Gardenscape is a reputable company that executes quality work and it truly shows in each one of their projects. Their professionalism is unmatched and attention to detail is amazing. As a Landscape Designer I'm always looking for a contractor that knows how to translate plans into reality, that knows how to cater to the clients needs and is quick to adjust to any unexpected challenges. I full heartedly recommend Yair and his team for any of your landscape construction needs. Very pleased with their work! read more

I interviewed a number of company and Yair was the only one I called back. He was very knowable and personable. He listened to what I wanted and he made it happen! He was the best contractor I have ever dealt with. He was here every day to coordinate the project. He was on schedule and kept me informed each step of the way. He even texted me when they broke for lunch and let me know when they would be back. I highly recommend him and Pristine Gardenscape. Photos are on their website under Faust. read more

Pristine landscape just finished my new drought tolerant front yard landscape. I initially got 4 bids. Pristine was not the least expensive but Yaer was more responsive in getting back to me- both for the initial call, and then for the bid. He communicated every day about the progress, and responded back immediately if I had any questions. They started when they said they would, and finished the work as projected. The design plan called for a dry river bed, and when the rocks showed up I didn't like the color. Yaer immediately took them back, and asked me to come to the nursery to pick out what I liked. It was actually alot of fun. He also put in alot of work to find the plants I wanted, and to make sure I was happy with the finished project. I can't recommend Pristine Landscape highly enough! Thank you for all your hard work! read more

After interviewing 10 companies, we finally picked Pristine Gardenscape. Best choose ever. Yair made our job easy and simple. Our front and backyard are beautiful. He stayed within budget and added far more than just simple plants. All his ideas and imagination made our project perfect. His crew was professional, hard working and very clean. After the job was done, no mess anywhere. I have told Yair, he can have as many people call us as he wants. Yair is a fine gentleman and a great person to work with. Hal B. Simi Valley read more

Communication was fantastic from start to finish. I was never surprised or disappointing by anything they were doing. The project started right on time, and finished on time despite a few unforeseen issues beyond their control. The outcome of the project was exactly what we asked for. My project included laying new sod and decomposed granite, with low-voltage lighting and irrigation throughout the yard. My backyard features a very steep slope that is very challenging to landscape -- no problem for these guys. They were able to transform the entire yard just as we requested. We can tell that our neighbors are thrilled, as the compliments on our yard just seem to keep coming. Thanks to the team at Pristine Gardenscape! read more

We redo our front yard and backyard with new grass, new plants, sprinkler and dripping system. They did a great job!

I cannot say enough good things about Pristine Gardenscape. When looking to refresh our backyard, I really wanted to find a team I trusted and who I felt put care into their work. I had several consultations and quotes and met with multiple companies, but choosing Yair and his team was an easy choice. Communication was quick and easy, pricing was competitive and very fair and the quality of their work is top tier. I am so happy with the results and will absolutely work with them again in the future. read more

Yair and his crew were absolutely spectacular from start to finish. He has excellent communication skills, is patient, and knowledgeable about the service he provides. His crew was top-notch: no foul language, no trash left about, friendly, and HARD-WORKING. Being unfamiliar with landscape design, Yair made my spouse and I feel at ease and confident that the job would get done correctly, quickly, and professionally. Though it rained during our installation, the crew dealt with the adversity with ease. We now live in a paradise, and couldn't be more grateful for Yair, Benny, and the others!!! Come over and visit! read more

I can't speak enough praise for Pristine and Yair. I wanted to do a lawn replacement in my front yard that qualified for partial reimbursement from the California Water District. I spoke with several people who were clueless as to the requirements. I had to try and educate them and not the other way around. But Yair knew exactly what was needed and he is such a nice guy. What a relief. I still received several estimates from other companies which were several thousand above the quote I got from Yair. To me it was no-brainer, go with Pristine Gardenscapes. Yair drew up a simple diagram of the yard to submit along with photos of the lawn to the Water District and my application was approved. I told Yair and they had an opening in their schedule so they started right away. And everything went smoothly and Yair was at the job site to check on the progress almost every day. The guys worked very hard and it was durning the heat wave which made it even more difficult. And my ground was very hard and full of roots from a big tree at the curb of my house but they kept digging the holes for the plants in that heat. I have to give them credit for that. In the end, I am very happy with th results. They followed all of the requirements for the rebate and my front yard looks fabulous. And I am saving a ton of water with the grass gone. I am so glad I went with Yair and Pristine Gardenscapes. read more

After my first consultation with Yair, I knew he really cared about helping us achieve the results that we wanted in a way that worked best for our home, environment, and budget.

They also tested and fixed sprinklers, did some ornamental work around palm trees etc. read more

We just completed a long awaited front and backyard project to make our yards more drought tolerant and frankly more interesting and enjoyable to look at. Yair, Emma, Benny, and the rest of their team were wonderful to work with. They were super responsive, and explained what was needed to qualify for the DWP rebates, and were available while submitting the application, and when DWP had a question, Yair contacted them directly and it was resolved in less than an hour. Their team worked efficiently and cleanly, and made sure we liked where everything was before it went in the ground. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to renovate their yards read more

We've hired Pristine Gardenscape to redo our front and backyard at two of our rental properties. Our first property needed approximately 1,200 Sq.Ft. of artificial turf, Angelus Courtyard Pavers, and low voltage lighting. The second project consisted of a dry creek, decomposed granite, a 20'x30' concrete patio, small retaining wall, planting drought tolerant plants, and low voltage lighting throughout the front and back yard. The crew showed up on time, in a company uniform, and a clean company truck. They were always on time, cleaned-up after themselves at the end of the day, and maintained a portable potty at the jobsite through the completion of the project. Very impressed with their highly skilled team, professional, and consistent communication. read more

After requesting a quote through Yelp on Monday November 16th. 2020, Yair reached out within an hour and scheduled a consultation for that same week. I was excited to work with them based on previous reviews I had read, however, I was a little disappointed to hear that it would be at least a month and a half before they could begin my project. After multiple meetings with Yair, and their designer, it became clear why they are booked so far out in advance. A landscape renovation is a significant investment and far from being a quick easy project - it takes time to plan. They truly care about making sure you're completely satisfied and don't simply try to sell the job. Their attention to every detail, and quality craftsmanship was definitely worth the wait! I will definitely use Pristine Gardenscape again when I'm ready to renovate my front yard in the next few months. read more

Such an great experience working with Pristine Gardenscape in redoing our backyard! We found them on Instagram and reached out via DM. Their response to schedule an in person consultation was quick and professional! We really appreciated that they understood we wanted to work with a company who we could work in stages with and was as conscious with our budget as we were. Emma and Yair were so both so kind and provided suggestions that we didn't even think of! Benny, Yair and the rest of the team were always on time, kind, professional & Yair was excellent with providing us updates throughout the process. Throughout the process we were able to change and tweak the design which was so helpful and fun! The before and after of our backyard is just mind blowing to think of where it was and how perfect it is now! It was complete dirt, weeds, an old storage shed left behind by the owners. Pristine helped us with installing a sprinkler system, grass, plants along the wall, helped us demo the wall to make it smooth, repaint the patio floor, install pavers and stones, and evened out the side yard to help us prevent any flooding into the AC unit. It was a big project but it was completed on time! We're forever grateful and we can't wait to continue reaching out to Pristine when we decide to start renovating the front! read more

Emma and Yayir were fantastic to work with! They were patient with me as I worked with them to plan out the perfect backyard. They were very flexible and able to listen to our ideas as well as make recommendations on how to make our backyard and side yard perfect. Once the work began, they paid attention to every detail and did a high quality job. Yayir constantly throughout the job went above and beyond with suggesting improvements and ways to help us from improving our fruit tree irrigation, to hand polishing rocks for us when we couldn't find the perfect material, to setting up our new 800-pound fountain (which was not even part of the original job!). I highly recommend working with Pristine as they are passionate and care about the end result and customer satisfaction. We really enjoyed working with them throughout the process, and never felt stressed. They were very open to last minute changes. They took care of drop irrigation, lighting, planting, and some light hardscape. Top notch and highly recommend. Side note: My wife and I were skeptical after working with another local landscaping company who wanted $200 just to show up for a design consult, and $2500 for a landscape design (regardless of if you used them or not). Make sure when you look for a residential landscaper you aren't buying into a company that really is geared at commercial only where you get bilked. Working with Pristine was so different (and refreshing) from that experience. They seem fully capable of doing a large commercial job without making you feel like you are just an invoice. read more

I guess the question really is...Why would you go anywhere else?! Yair and his team are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I cannot stress this enough. I am usually very critical with what I want, but Yair and Emma were super knowledgeable about what would look best for my yard based on what I wanted. The thing that is missing from a lot of landscape project managers is passion and Pristine Gardenscape has soooo much of that. The team showed up ON TIME every single day and went above and beyond on my expectations. They placed pavers, a custom walkway, a new irrigation system and sod. This was a big job to say the least, and they pulled it off in great time at very good rate! Again...if you are looking for a landscape project, Yair and his team do A LOT and I would recommend them over EVERY competition in the area. read more

Yair and his team at Pristine Gardenscape did an amazing job installing turf, DG and plants in my backyard! I had to do a minor scope change mid-project and Yair was very accommodating! I am several mowings past installation and the grass is green, vibrant and healthy! Highly recommended and will definitely hire again! read more

Needed to fix an area of our yard that had washed away. Yair called me right back, showed up at our appointment on time, gave me ideas, sent photos of his ideas, and then, completed the work while we were out of town: sending texts and photos as he did the work over 4 days. Then, after the recent storm, he offered to drive by to make sure all was all well since we were still out of town. He sent photos after that visit, too. Can't ask for more: responsive, punctual, reliable, good communicator, who definitely aims to please and make sure work is done correctly. Will definitely call him again if the need arises. read more

We love the work that Pristine Gardenscape has done on our house. The team is awesome. Emma, Yair and their crew are amazing to work with. From the get go, they were responsive, professional, transparent, and very friendly. They answered any and all questions as quickly and as best as they could, and always communicated any changes or steps needed to finish the job. We had them work on our backyard, installing DG for a patio, and compacted stone for the groundwork of a basketball court. They were very fair on price, and the quality is great! I would absolutely recommend if you have landscape projects coming up. Look no further. Very impressed by this company, and are already ready to hire them to upgrade our front yard! read more

Pristine Gardenscape just completed a two-day project that other companies would likely have milked into a three day project.

It was a dirty job but they cleaned all the debris kicked up by the work. I'm very happy with their work. read more
