Tino and his crew worked on our front yard for about a month (pavers, turf installation,…read morelandscaping, fence front steps), and we couldn't be more grateful for their work. We are in love with our new space! The entire front yard was just a pile of dirt before Tino got to work. They worked long days and did whatever they could to not only get the job done but to do it right. For example, we had chosen particular pavers and Tino kindly suggested we try a different type of paver, given the paint color of our home and the retaining wall we chose, and we are so happy we followed his advice. I had some initial plans and pictures of what I like, and Tino ran with it - very thoughtful and creative contractor. He gave us exactly what we wanted and asked for, and he was an amazing communicator along the way. Additionally, his estimate was considerably lower than others we received, and he always tried his best to get a good deal on materials - very honest and transparent with pricing. We use Tino's company for our monthly landscaping now, and we would not hesitate for a moment to hire him again for a bigger job - so professional and excellent results - thank you, Tino!

So I went to yelp to ask for tree trimming services. Six businesses responded but Torres…read moreLandscaping was the very first one to respond right after I sent the message. Leo the owner personally went to check the trees and the next day Sarah emailed me the estimate. The price is reasonable and affordable. I asked for four trees to be pruned but had a last minute addition of a pine tree, and they accommodate it right there and then. Jose and Jorge came at 9am as what I've been told and worked on the trees, Leo went in to check with them after an hour which I like because it shows that he values his customer and making sure that the work is being done. The guys are very respectful of the property, they're polite and they went above and beyond what's needed to be done. They left my property clean. Sarah is the one who communicates with me through phone about things like payment, and added last minute services. She's kind and awesome, answering all my questions and making sure everything is done according to my liking. All in all, I am very much satisfied with their work, work ethics and their service, I'm glad I went with them. Definitely gonna be my go to for all my yard and tree trimming needs. Thank you guys, especially to Sarah! Pleasure doing business with you!

Of three designs we received, Frances Krebs was the most professional, creative and detail oriented.

Frances and her crew were always punctual, responsible, skillful, considerate and professional. They were able to accomplish all we asked for. Black Diamond, with Frances as the designer and project manager, was definitely the right choice.

Third Heaven Review…read more This review is long overdue - Third Heaven began two of our projects during COVID-19. Both our projects were completed by July 2023. In March of 2022, our first project with Third Heaven was to lay a concrete pad for an Endless Pool, install the stone skirting and pavers around the pool, along with other details. It was a huge job in which Juan Carlos Marquez and his team had to work with the pool installer/contractor (separate from Third Heaven) who was NOT as dependable and easy to work with as Third Heaven and Juan Carlos. Nevertheless, Juan Carlos was patient and diplomatic as well as efficient and flexible as he met every challenge the job presented. The results were fantastic! In February of 2023, our second project was the landscaping of the rest of our yard. I had a design in mind to which Juan Carlos was very attentive and kindly made suggestions that helped significantly. He was very forthcoming with prices and affordability as well as keeping us informed of material delays. He was also very patient with me as I asked questions and presented ideas about details I hadn't thought about during the planning process. Here are the highlights that would be very important to me if I needed to find a landscaper (which I don't - I'm hooked on Third Heaven Landscaping :)) Dependable and Honest - Juan Carlos, Third Heaven's owner is true to his word. To me this is invaluable when dealing with any professional. I knew what to expect and when to expect it. He is friendly, amicable, diplomatic, considerate, and very dependable. When there were delays, he let me know as soon as he knew. We never heard excuses or felt deceived. The team he had working on our property was also very dependable and professional. Listens - Juan Carlos listened to my plan and offered helpful suggestions. I was never put off if I wanted to do things my way, nor did I feel he resented me "sticking to my guns". He enabled me to appreciate him making points if he thought one of my ideas might not work. However, he was interested in making sure I was happy with the outcome; of which I undeniably delighted!! Good Ideas - Juan Carlos made suggestions that were helpful. For example, I went with a composite bark for ground cover after he brought me some bark samples. The composite really DID look natural and was considerably less expensive. Also, I had some stepping- stones from my yard that I wanted to use in my rose garden - but couldn't figure out the layout. One of the Third Heaven team members laid them out perfectly. Putting lights in our patio and pool steps was also a brilliant suggestion. I am especially grateful when I have to go out and check on things after dark - much safer than a flashlight and so much prettier! There were a lot of little details which the Third Heaven team and Juan Carlos enhanced the aesthetics of my garden. Accommodates Schedules - Juan Carlos worked with and around COVID-19 and contractor issues, our work schedules, personal events, and travel schedules. He did all that he could to make sure that we were comfortable with what was on the schedule. Follows Up - In all things, Juan Carlos followed up on all arrangements and contract obligations. We appreciate that he did many check-ins to make sure we were happy with the finished project. In closing, we HIGHLY recommend Third Heaven Landscaping and are very happy with their expertise, dependability and being as kind and accommodating to us during our landscaping projects. We truly feel that Juan Carlos Marquez and Third Heaven Landscaping went above and beyond our expectations.

I love my garden! Nop helped me achieve my dream. His support and assistance helping me clarify what I wanted, and his knowledge of where to go and what kind of stone and plants to buy made it so much easier to achieve my goals. He helped us find a wonderful installer who placed the rocks and installed the irrigation, and planted the plants correctly. Nop's knowlege of native plants and what they need to thrive is extensive. His understanding of the type of watering system they need for the first couple summers in order to get established was very helpful. The thing I appreciate most is Nop's eye for beauty, grace, and harmony. I could see it in the photos of his work on his website and he was able to do the same thing in my garden. It feels good just to sit in it. Thank you again Nop, you did a fabulous job.
