    New "kid zone" in our backyard.
    Julia C.

    We had a great experience with Ralston Landscaping redoing a portion of our backyard. We had an old shed that we needed removed, some fence we needed replaced, and wanted the area made into a "kid zone." Chris came out to estimate the job in person, gave me a competitive, detailed quote quickly and was able to fit us in in a few weeks. Chris and his crew were prompt, organized efficient and clean. Being new to the process, we were indecisive about a few different elements and Chris dis a great job giving us the info needed to decide quickly (eg he estimated out different scenarios, recommended turf and specifically which kind of turf, etc). In just a few days they totally redid the space and it looks fantastic. We would use Chris and his team again in a heart beat.

    BEFORE: Hodgepodge of weird dying or dead shrubs and the flagstone path to nowhere.
    Nik N.

    Chris came recommended from a neighbor and lived up to and beyond the five star hype. I asked him to take over for my overworked DIY hubby to finish our backyard renovation with a pretty tight timeline. Honestly, our yard looked like a lumpy abandoned lot before he started work. I really couldn't even picture that my yard could look like his after photos, but it does! We moved forward with 90% of his recommendations and he took hubbies numerous add-ons in stride and still finished earlier than I expected. He is extremely professional and has the perfect balance of visionary, project manager and skilled landscape artist. We went with a minimalist overhaul without tree or shrub additions. When we are ready to add to the yard, he will definitely get our call.

    Pavers, steps, fence

    It was such a great experience working with Chris and his team - Omar was the main craftsman and was incredible. We have done quite a few remodels and Chris was the easiest to get ahold of and had by far the best communication. The project turned out great with lots of ideas from Chris and Omar that made it look way better than imagined. Would absolutely recommend this company and would work with them again in a second.

    Big thanks to Ralston Landscaping for doing an excellent job on our front yard renovation. Chris does what he says he's going to do and beyond. He is a genuine person, pays attention to detail, and completed our job on schedule. Unfortunately we had already remodeled our back yard or we would have hired him to do that too.

As parents, safety and functionality were our top priorities, and Jose's team really took that seriously. They didn't just execute what we asked--they consistently thought from our perspective, especially when it came to making the space safe and practical for our baby. They would point out things we hadn't considered and suggest better solutions, which made us feel like we were in very good hands. Jose's team was also very responsible and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Any questions or changes we had were handled quickly and thoughtfully, and they always made sure the details were right. The final result turned out beautifully, but what we appreciated most was the care and intention behind the work. It's clear they take pride in what they do. We'd absolutely recommend Jose's team to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful contractor--especially if you're building a space for kids.

    Long overdue review…read more After I completed my retaining wall in our backyard, it was time to move onto finishing the yard with full pavers and artificial turf. I met with a few different contractors, and after meeting Jose and his team, I went with Simancas Landscaping and was very happy with the decision. I actually created the plan myself for the backyard, and reviewed it with Jose and it came out exactly as I had hoped! I did all the landscaping myself, but I am sure that his team could've also done that as well. We also decided to pave over our concrete California Room to make everything cohesive, and the finished product came out better than expected. Jose was very communicative throughout the project, and when problems arose, we worked together to move past them. I would definitely recommend Simancas for paver and artificial turf installation!

    It was a pleasure to work with Jose and his team. I consulted with two other landscapers prior to…read morechoosing Simancas Landscaping and I'm extremely happy with our decision and end result. Pros: 1. Most reasonably priced for good, quality work. Jose is very fair with his quotes and any potential adjustments. 2. Your satisfaction is Jose's #1 priority. Throughout the project, at each milestone step, he consults with you to gauge satisfaction and discuss next steps. Plans may alter accordingly but you are informed throughout the process. 3. Easy to contact. I've worked with contractors and landscapers in the past that do not readily respond. Jose always answers my call and/or at least returns my call by end of day. Con: (and I'm only writing one because I don't trust reviews that have nothing but good things to say) 1. If you're sticking to a tight schedule or deadline, let the team know that upfront. Working on home improvements oftentimes results in delayed timelines. My experience was not any different this time around, but Jose would always explain the reasoning and was extremely fair. This "con," however is minor when we consider how happy we are with the finished product of our backyard. Highly recommend Simancas Landscaping. Check out our before and after pics!

    We recently completed a large-scale backyard renovation with Stones Landscaping, and are quite…read morepleased with the results. This involved pouring over 1,500 sq. ft. of concrete, a large retaining wall, a patio deck, a new lawn, and a playground area. Here were some of the highlights of my experience: - Design Guidance: I relied heavily on Baltazar's experience and keen sense of design. His elegant hardscaping solution for the pool transition zones exceeded my expectations and tied the yard together perfectly. - The grading and drainage were very well done. Despite heavy rains, there was zero pooling; the rain gutters were routed directly into pipes beneath the concrete for a clean, streamlined look. - Smart Home Integration: All landscape lighting and irrigation were hooked up to smart-home enabled controllers for total automation and convenience. - The office staff was very responsive, addressing any concerns or follow-up questions usually within a single business day. Props to Gladys and Dahlia! Highly recommended!

    In our home improvement projects, landscaping our front yard was one of the nine projects we…read moreundertook. Throughout these projects, we sought God's wisdom, guidance, and most importantly, provision. We received three bids for each project, contacting them via phone. Most of them were easy to work with and accommodating, but one company stood out. I contacted this company, just like I did with the others, explaining that we needed to finish our front yard because my husband couldn't do it now due to health reasons. Before they even arrived, they demanded measurements and photos of our front yard. I'm not the best at measuring, but I did my best, considering I'm a full-time caregiver. I explained my situation to them, but they were very business-minded and lacked empathy. I complied with their requests and was surprised when Miguel, the owner, made an appointment to come out to our property. I already knew they wouldn't be a company we'd be interested in hiring, but in life, we need to be fair. Manuel arrived and was courteous. I asked him how he could bid on a job before he could actually access it and see what was required. He replied that he'd been doing this for a long time. Upon his departure, I noticed him measuring our property. I couldn't help but wonder why he needed to measure when he had already given us the price for the job. All the contractors bid on both the front and back yards. However, when we decided to postpone the backyard project and focus solely on the front yard, I contacted Stone Landscaping. The lady informed me that this change would increase the front yard price by 10% since the backyard was no longer included in the original quote. I was genuinely surprised and disappointed, as I sensed that this company lacked integrity and professionalism. Determined to find a dependable and honest landscaping company, I reached out to D&I Landscaping. I explained our decision to focus on the front yard and inquired about the cost. To my delight, they simply adjusted the price by removing the backyard, without any extra charges for the revision. This was a refreshing change, as D&I Landscaping demonstrated transparency and honesty. Life teaches us valuable lessons. While I don't intend to criticize others, I felt compelled to share my honest review of D&I Landscaping. If you're looking for a trustworthy and reliable landscaping company that offers high-quality work and uses quality materials, look no further than Irwin at D&I Landscaping. His company is dedicated to providing excellent service, listening to your needs, and showing genuine care and compassion.

Really can't recommend them enough and had such a great experience working with Edgar and his small, experienced team. We requested multiple quotes from small and large landscaping companies before going with Edgar and Endless Summer. We chose Endleess Summer because Edgar was easy to work with, provided transparent pricing (and was one of the lower bids, approx $1,800 less than some of the larger companies that leverage subcontractors), worked up a contract and guaranteed the irrigation updates and sod for several months, and Edgar, the main contractor, either personally did the work or oversaw the work himself with his two longtime partners, which ensured everything we discussed was executed properly and timely. They are fully bonded and insured and beyond that basic requirement they always left the worksite extremely tidy at the end of each day which we appreciate, and cleaned the area thoroughly at the end of the job. The work was done in less than three days which involved turning three inches of soil, installing gopher wire, redoing some of our older pipes and valves, installing sod, new sprinkler heads, edging, weed cloth, drip lines and a few of our drought tolerant plants in the very front. Edgar also came back a few times to ensure everything was growing in well and provided detailed instructions to ensure the sod came in well, it's now been two months and everything is flourishing. As an added bonus, Edgar recommended a couple local nurseries we would have never found without his help, JC nurseries in particular, with locations in Gilroy and San Martin, is a wonderful gem with by far the healthiest decorative grasses and shrubs we've found and super competitive prices, offering free or low cost local delivery. Our kids and pup love our lush front lawn and the neighbors definitely appreciate the upgrade too. We will look forward to working with Edgar again when it's time to upgrade our property line fence and landscape the back!
