    After working on a design with a 3rd party, we reached out to several landscapers and R&R made a competitive offer. Our contacts were Tamir (design, sales) and JR (project management), who worked with Luis (build team). The project was primarily about hardscaping. Construction lasted longer than initially stated, in part due to material re-orders, and elevation making for challenging stairs / retaining wall work. But R&R was able to realize our vision and we were happy with the end result. They also handled warranty work promptly and professionally.

    R&R recently completed a project to replace our old concrete patio with pavers, replace a concrete side path with paver stepping stones, cover a retaining wall with stacked stone facing & cap, and add lighting. The work looks amazing and overall we are pleased with it, as well as the communication and responsiveness during the project. There were definitely some challenges during the project, some due to us changing our minds regarding paver type, and then a delay in sourcing samples, and some due to R&R. Our project manager, JR, was fantastic to work with and made sure up until the very end (and beyond!) that we were happy with the work and outcome. However when he got Covid the project veered off track. We felt the work suffered without the necessary oversight and some things had to be redone which they were but it wasn't ideal. The upfront design phase was very helpful for my husband who had a hard time visualizing the outcome and the designs were very useful to refer back to, as well as the detailed plan. Unfortunately our project didn't include plants and so we did those ourselves. In retrospect I wish I'd had R&R execute the whole vision of our project.

    I highly recommend R&R Backyard Remodeling for any landscaping project. Their communication, quality of work and attention to detail is unparalleled in the industry. R&R was able to build the backyard of our dreams, both on schedule and within our budget. After shopping around our landscape design to several highly rated landscaping companies on Yelp, R&R was the only company who took the time to meet with us in person. Ron and Tamir reviewed our initial design, surveyed the yard and provided us a competitive and detailed quote within a week. R&R completely owned the permitting process and worked with the city to submit and approve a building permit within 3 months. Once the project started, R&R had a team of highly skilled laborers, (led by Luis), working 6 days a week. Ron and Tamir frequently visited the job site and were able to accommodate several minor change orders as the project progressed. Once the hardscape was complete, Raul started the fabrication of an outdoor kitchen that included a TV wall, electric fireplace, sink, mini fridge and ice-maker. Raul worked tirelessly to manufacture and level a custom steel frame for the kitchen. And despite an aggressive deadline, R&R passed every inspection and was able to finish the project on time. R&R was a pleasure to work with and I would strongly recommend them for any outdoor project. Ron, Tamir and Ronelle were extremely responsive throughout the entire project. Luis, Raul and their laborers were experienced, hardworking, respectful and always on time. We truly could not be any happier with the result. R&R constructed a beautiful outdoor living space that our family will cherish forever.

    After remodel. Grass replaced with dryscape and a few plants.

    We worked with R&R Backyard Remodeling to convert our small backyard lawn into dryscape to require less water but still be a nice space for our two small dogs. They were transparent throughout the process, finished the job as specified, and cleaned up everything. I expect to work with them again on future projects.

    Patio after a couple of months

    R&R was super quick to respond and provide us with a quote for a new patio. We set the date and were told that the work would completed within a week. It took us many calls and constant following up to ensure they actually came every day to do the work. No proactive communication. Prices weren't competitive (the same quotes we got from other companies) but the company changed the contract from the quote for the same price (they omitted a few items). We got them to complete everything but it was a battle. The patio looked OUTSTANDING, absolutely beautiful. For about 2 months.... It now looks like it's 10-15 years old and I'm realizing I'll need to hire another company to redo Huge disappointment that costed thousands of dollars.

They ruined and broke numerous branches while admitting that these plants are very delicate. They rushed the job that should have been at least two hours and finished in one hour. I should have stopped them after the owner told me to go inside and they will let me know when they were done. You never tell someone that's paying you $500 dollars to take your time and do a professional job to go inside. I should have told him to get the F off of my property and hired someone else. I would have been better off hiring men from Home Depot. Totally unprofessional, rushed the job, ruined a couple of plants and didn't give a shit how it looked, even after I showed the owner the damaged plants and all the broken branches only to find more as the branches dried out in the weeks to come. He tells me the plants are delicate, but yet they didn't treat them that way. I will never hire this unprofessional company again and recommend that you don't hire them either. They have plenty of help to do a good job, but refuse to do so. This was a total rip off job to the tune of $500. I'm so sorry I hired this clown to do this job, every time I look at what they did it makes me sick and pissed that I didn't throw them off my property and paid them nothing. I've waited weeks to write this review, in hopes that the job would look better, but it doesn't. Thanks a lot, KAY GREEN LANDSCAPING FOR DOING A SHITTY JOB AND TELLING ME TO GO INSIDE.

I got a couple of quotes through Yelp, but ultimately decided to go with Kay Green -- and I'm so glad I did. It took Young and his crew about a day and a half to complete the project.

We ran into a few unexpected issues during the project, but Young was always upfront about what was happening and communicated his solutions clearly. His recommendations were thoughtful and turned out great. I would definitely use Kay Green again for any future landscaping projects and will happily recommend them to family and friends!

We ran into some difficulties at the start due to a last-minute cancellation by Matt and some unresponsiveness through email. When we voiced our concerns, Matt really stepped up to ensure our concerns were met. He immediately refunded us for the cost of the service, and he offered to meet with us at no cost. We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!

We contacted one of the contractors a few weeks later and finished the project with them in about 2 months. I highly recommend the Virtual Consultation for smaller projects with Matt. His feedback for our questions and experience with similar projects were very beneficial to starting this backyard project for us.

After looking around online, we found 101 Landscape and reached out. Alex got back to us quickly and came by to check out the space and talk through what we had in mind. We ended up doing a full refresh across the driveway, front, side, and backyard. In the front, we replaced the concrete driveway with pavers, added a grass lawn, and included a decorative planting area. Along the side and in the backyard, we replaced all the concrete with pavers, added more grass, and created another mulched planting area for low-maintenance landscaping. Since it was such a big project, we spent a lot of time in the design phase to make sure we'd be happy with the long-term results. Alex was very patient and flexible with us throughout the process. Once we gave the green light, the crew started pretty quickly and finished in about 3 weeks, which was impressive given all the demolition, hardscaping, and softscaping involved. The quality of the work really shows (see photos) and they even pressure washed the front and back upon completion. Cost-wise, it was definitely an investment, but we feel like we got great value for the quality and scope of the work. We're really happy with how everything turned out and can't wait to enjoy our new outdoor spaces. Would definitely recommend 101 Landscape to anyone looking for a full outdoor upgrade!

Her process is pretty amazing; she spent a few hours with us in the backyard, asking questions and taking notes.

What's more, some of our design needed to change over the next few months as we were implementing the plan and Kim quickly responded to all of our questions and challenges with great suggestions. Kim is definitely someone we will recommend without hesitation to anyone looking for interesting, beautiful landscape design quickly and at a reasonable price.

All prior interior work in our house had been done by handyman. I really appreciated the communication from our project manager Marc. He created a WhatsApp chat with me and the incredible designer Jocelyn. They were both consistently responsive to any of my questions or concerns -- and opened my mind to design options. Jocelyn spent time in our home, drafted plans, took me shopping, and sourced all the fixtures. From her spreadsheet I was able to find less expensive options for some items. I appreciated the input and control I had on these expenses. Since we needed to move out, I had a tight timeline for the project -- mid October until Thanksgiving. Marc and the team did their best despite City of San Jose delays with inspections. We were able to move back in before the final inspection. Every member of the team was kind and courteous. Marc also did a great job working with the window vendor that specializes in older homes. I'm rating the experience a 4.5 out of 5 for two reasons. I was disappointed that the medicine cabinet, switch plates, and hooks were initially installed unevenly (it was corrected). I expected more attention to detail. And I was disappointed in the wear & tear that happened on my wood floors as well as the overall dust in my dining room. I was warned that things would get dusty -- but didn't understand the extent and would have packed away more things. WISE offers lots of support with design -- they could also offer as part of their package a full cleaning! I offer this feedback to help others calibrate their expectations. Overall it was a positive experience. I waited several months to post this review until I returned from travel and could see how things were settling after regular use. I'm loving the new bathroom and recommend WISE.
