In addition my son added a retaining wall with a nice patio area made of concrete.

We recently hired Ernesto and Carlos to redesign and landscape our front yard, and the results…read moreexceeded our expectations. From the first consultation, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely interested in bringing our vision to life. Everything went smooth and on schedule, communicated clearly throughout the project, and paid close attention to every detail. They transformed our outdated yard into a beautiful landscape that has dramatically improved our home's curb appeal. We've already received numerous compliments from neighbors and visitors. The project was completed on time, the work area was kept clean, and the final result was even better than we imagined. If you're looking for reliable, talented landscapers for your front yard project, I highly recommend Ernesto and Team. Great service, fair pricing, and outstanding results!

Ernesco and his team have done a phenomenal job - turning my backyard from weeds, old concrete and…read moremessy bushes to a stunning and clean yard I would enjoy to stay. 1. They are super transparent and professional. They give details of what materiel they'll use, how deep they'll dig. Everything is written clearly in contract - giving me mind of peace of quality. 2. Ernesco is great at project management. They don't do multiple projects on parallel. The team works in my backyard 8am-5pm each day and the project is completed within 10 days. 3. Ernesco is flexible and responsive. I've changed my ideas a few times, he and his team made extra efforts to accommodate my changes. 4. They are very reasonable with price. I strongly recommend them for yard landscaping!

Frank was there daily to check on the project, which allowed us to discuss any details/changes etc. The crew arrived on time every morning and was very organized. Never left the site a mess.

We called Victor back to modify the pavers he installed in 2019 for a new patio cover. He included…read morea new paver path walkway from the front to backyard and removed the existing redwood trellis. His workman did the heavy lifting and completed the patio with additional pavers.

I have worked with Darrick for a few years. While the service he initially implemented was good and…read moremet general expectations, I feel a lot of confusion and frustration regarding his communication style. This is not a one-time issue; throughout our interaction over the past few years, there has been a recurring pattern of him agreeing to a specific day or time to come by and then simply not showing up. This has happened quite a few times, with the most recent experience being the final straw. I first reached out in September 2025 regarding a sprinkler issue. After a no-show then, I followed up again in March 2026. Once again, he confirmed a timeframe to swing by, but never arrived and provided no follow-up to explain why. I have attached two snips of our message history here for reference. I have always tried to be patient, flexible, and polite, even offering additional fees to ensure his time was covered. If a professional finds a request unreasonable or is too busy, it is much better to simply say so. Instead, being 'ghosted' repeatedly makes it very difficult to plan or maintain a property. While I appreciate the work he has done in the past, the lack of reliability makes it hard to continue with his services.

We had a negative experience working with this company. Our paver patio is only a year old and it…read moreis falling apart. Our paver installation was a very choppy job where just after a few months our pavers turned dry, cracked, and shifted in many areas. We think that they were installed unevenly and without the proper support for the base. He has come back a few times to do "repairs" but the problem is the same.. the pavers keep cracking and shifting. When it rains our patio collects a bunch of puddles because it wasn't installed at a proper angle for drainage and so many of the middle pavers have sunk. Originally Darrick had said that he "wanted to make it right" and fix the patio but it takes him months to be available to come fix even the smallest things. Darrick also installed fresh sod with sprinklers but 3 of the corners have continued to die despite having even water coverage (per Darirck). Overall our lawn has grown very unevenly and it is very lumpy. It also has many different shades of green and different areas grow faster than others. He continuously blames the issues on my dogs urine and that we don't water it enough but the dog never goes on the corners where the grass keeps dying and we always water it based on his recommendations. We have been waiting for the second time since July and it is now the end of December and he has still not fixed it. Additionally, he will also leave his trash and supplies out in our yard for months at a time. Darrick is incredibly unprofessional because an honest contractor will come address the problems in a timely manner. He will not reply or make the proper repairs.

I don't write a lot of bad reviews but this is the worst contractor ever. I tried working with them…read moreas they were recommended by friends, it was the worst decision ever. They kept asking for more advanced payment for unfinished work. Threatened legal action. Their quality of work is poor with pavers not installed properly and not meeting code. They damaged other parts of the house and never paid or fixed them. They never finished the job, leaving our yard full of dirt and weeds. If you want to over pay for unfinished and poor quality work, (pray that they'll finish at the end when they already got most of your money), then this is your guy.

Nightmare to work with. After completing a few parts of the job but not actually finishing the…read morecomponents they started to demand advance payments then abandoned the job un-finished. For instance they claimed the front yard was 80% complete (agreement was to complete landscaping with plants, mulch). Picture below on a front yard that was claimed as 80% complete landscaping. We found out that many of the parts they claimed were complete were not. Including missing irrigation lines. Missing valves. Un-connected irrigation with orphan pipes left in the ground. The pavers were installed partially but they used the wrong sand filler (cheaper sand versus polysand). We found this out afterwards even though they agreed to use polysand. Additionally the quality was terrible where pavers were not braced well, some pavers were un-even causing dangerous bumps to trip on. Many of the things we confirmed to be included were ignored. When we asked for drawing or schematics to show us the pipe works their verbatim response was "You know exactly why we ran they drainage and sprinklers, why do you need it?" So we don't know the layout of the partial work that was done and they have refused to provide drawings Additionally, they damaged parts of our house (downspouts, pool coping) so we have been left with costly repairs from their damage. After many messages of trying to get them to finish the components and repair the damage they ignored for now 8 weeks and counting . We recommend to avoid this landscaper until they can improve quality, service, reduce damages, and truthfully represent work completed.
