[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great experience working with RB landscaping.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hugo and Nate were a pleasure to work with as well as the rest of their crew.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a complete yard transformation done which included the removal of old landscaping, installation of new paver driveway, artificial turf and walkway. Hugo and his crew worked quickly and the project was completed in a very timely fashion. We were very happy with the end result and everything looks great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were easy to work with as things came up during the project and were timely in their response.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would 100% recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We had a great experience working with RB Landscaping.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After shopping around, they were the only ones who said they would be able to complete a curved Saltillo/ Terracotta path. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We hashed out the details with Nate over email.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our area was 8.5 feet by 21.5 feet and involved digging out the subgrade, setting concrete and rebar, tiles (including a curved path), and gravel. We set the construction date for February 19th which lasted until February 25th. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Jesus, the foreman, was great at communicating the steps required for the build.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He would often check in to make sure that we got the end product we desired and was receptive to feedback for the design.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] With their workmanship guarantee, we have nothing to worry about. Overall, the process was smooth and hassle free. We would be happy to recommend them to others for their landscaping needs. read more

Went above and beyond, great communication started early and finished very quickly. Highly recommend.

We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation of our front and backyard, and cannot recommend RB Landscaping highly enough! Before starting, we got a few different quotes for the project and found RB Landscaping to be both the most reasonably priced and by far the most knowledgeable. From the very beginning, the design and estimation process was seamless. A huge thank you to Nate in the office for his incredible patience and prompt, helpful responses to all our questions while we ironed out the details. The project itself was a massive undertaking--a complete front and backyard makeover including pavers, sod, garden beds, and a brand-new irrigation system. Not only did the crew start and finish exactly on time, but they were incredibly flexible when we requested a couple of additions to the initial scope once work got underway. A special shout-out to Jesus, our foreman, and his hardworking crew. They kept everything on track, organized, and running smoothly every single day. We are so happy with the beautiful new space they've created, and our family is going to enjoy it for many years to come! read more

We had a great experience with RB Landscaping. They landscaped our entire yard according to our detailed plans, including areas of plantings, mulching, gravel parking and permeable pavers. Both the on-site crew and the office personnel communicated well and were responsive to our needs as the project progressed. Their prices also seemed competitive based on the other bids we received. Highly recommended. read more

We had a great experience working with Gustavo, Nate, and team. After interviewing more than 6 landscaping contractors, we chose them because their quote was competitive and their proposal was by far one of the most thorough and transparent. They transformed both our front and backyard, including removing grass, installing artificial turf and mulch, adding concrete walkways, grinding roots of a large stump, and building two retaining walls in our sloped backyard. We weren't sure how to make that sloped space functional, and Gustavo's recommendations were so helpful! What stood out most was their professionalism, flexibility, and work ethic. Gustavo is clearly a pro and incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating with our last-minute requests, and Nate was wonderful to coordinate with throughout the project. It was Gustavo and two guys mostly, and they worked very hard every day (they would start at 7am and sometimes not leaving until 7pm!). The final result exceeded our expectations, we highly recommend them for any landscaping or outdoor renovation project! read more

Hands down the BEST contractor we've had the pleasure of working with. They are super responsive, efficient, transparent and straightforward, honest, competitively priced, skilled, and FAST. I interviewed 3 other landscapers around the bay area and went with RB mainly for price and responsiveness. We redid our backyard and front yard, changing out grass for pavers and cement, redoing our patio and entrance pathway, and replacing some plants. They even helped to build some sheds we got at Costco. We had a pretty straightforward design in mind so we didn't need a lot of help there, but RB provided some nice recommendations that were cost effective and efficient/realistic for the space. They can help with some light design suggestions. I probably have over 200 email exchanges with Nate, with half of them being questions. The amount of patience they had with me is astounding (lol)! Every question was answered with helpful, realistic, and thoughtful responses, along with options. I can't tell you how much peace and confidence this level of communication gave me. The main work was done in less than two weeks, and some light finishing touches took a few days. The crew worked hard and fast, even on weekends--early mornings and late evenings, and during the hottest week... They also wait until they have all the materials before they start actual work, so good to choose materials that are in stock to speed up your project. They were also scheduling about 2 months out so lock them down sooner than later. We are so happy with the end result and cannot recommend them enough. Our neighbors have also asked for their contact info after seeing their work and how quickly they completed the job! Thank you Nate, Jesús, and the whole team. read more

Got a few bids and there's was the most reasonable and most knowledgeable. We had a channel drain installed in front of our garage and they were able to finish the project in 2 days and within 3 weeks of our request. Great turnaround time!! Price was reasonable and they didn't try to force us to spend more than we needed to. Jesus and his team made sure my husband and I were involved in every step of the process. He explained his concerns and what they were going to do to try to fix it. He even came back after the project was done the next day to make sure it was installed correctly and he checked the drainage multiple times with a hose. It has yet to be battle tested by the weather but I'm happy with how it turned out! We are even considering them for another project. read more

I recently had RB Landscaping handle a major project in my backyard, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Jesus and his team were professional, incredibly efficient, and kept the site clean throughout the process. The scope of work included reworking our patio pavers, installing a full backyard irrigation system, setting up proper drainage, and laying down new gravel pathways. The communication was seamless from the initial estimate through to final completion. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work and the level of care they took. Highly recommended! read more

RB Landscaping did an outstanding job on our recent project, which included artificial turf installation, a new fence, landscape rocks, and irrigation. Ramiro, the owner, was incredibly friendly, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. What really stood out was his communication, he came by every morning at 7 a.m. before the crew started to walk me through the progress, explain the plan for the day, and make sure all of my questions or concerns were addressed. Nate was our go-to office contact and prepared the project quotes and estimates. He also helped coordinate the project timeline, permits, and scheduling, and was always very responsive whenever we had questions. Ramiro's team was hardworking, efficient, and clearly takes pride in their work. George was the team lead onsite and did a great job ensuring the project stayed on track and everything ran smoothly. The crew worked extremely hard and completed the project ahead of the expected schedule. The artificial turf, fencing, landscape rock, and irrigation system all turned out beautifully. The best moment was when my kids saw the finished yard and said, "Daddy, the garden is so beautiful now"...that pretty much says it all. I highly recommend RB Landscaping and would gladly work with them again. read more

Even though I ended up not going with RB due to scheduling conflicts, the communication and professionalism shown by RB was above and beyond. They showed up on time, their pricing was fair, far more transparency in their cost breakdowns than any other contractor, and faster response times as well. I really enjoyed their process more than any other contractor I worked with in my latest project, and I only hope to use them in the future! read more

RB was great to work with. From start to finish, RB team was helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend Gustavo (on site mgr) and Nate (project lead). We would hire them again! read more

Summary: project turned out great. Timeliness: done within the timeframe given which was 3-5 days (finished in about 3.5) Professionalism: yes; admin staff friendly; workers were generally quiet, polite, and did a great job with attention to detail. Process: pretty straightforward; about to schedule consult quickly, initial payments were done easily online (deposit and pavers separately), and final payment was by check (didn't know that was going to be a thing! But luckily we had some on hand) Cost: definitely reasonable when compared to others in the general area (we looked into a few) read more

RB Landscape did an amazing job redoing the front yard and backyard of our house. We definitely recommend them for your landscaping or pavers projects if you want great professional service at a reasonable price! Communication was easily a 10/10 as Nate was extremely responsive to our questions and any concerns that we had. He was very informative, prompt, and fair. Their quality and speed of work was great. Everything was done according to plan or better. If there were any hiccups, they were addressed directly and we were provided solutions for the problem. The project finished quickly without compromising quality. Pricing was very competitive and transparent. You knew exactly what you were getting for what you were paying. Thanks RB Landscaping! read more

Within the last month, RB Landscaping has constructed a five foot block retaining wall and hogwire fence along my front driveway. I hired this company because they had excellent reviews and their estimate was quite fair, certainly lower than others I received. The workers, led by an extremely helpful, smiling Gustavo, showed up on the assigned date, completing the retaining wall project in six straight days. It seemed that they worked from sunup to sunset. I've never seen a construction crew work so hard. In our minds, as well as our neighbors, the finished product was "a work of art". What a difference from our forty-seven year old ivy-covered, rotten wood wall. Next, the fence above the wall was constructed with the same determination and skill. When finished, it also looked great. Throughout the entire project, I was in constant contact (phone & email) with Nate, the construction manager. He would quickly respond to any questions I had and was always accommodating. What a gentleman! Without question, I would recommend this company and assignment them a six-star rating if it was possible. I will definitely use this company for future projects. read more

RB Landscaping (Gustavo and team) did an excellent job on our yard. They removed old plants, installed new sod, added pavers, and put in a sprinkler system. The team was punctual, fast-paced, and very accommodating throughout the project.

Happy to recommend RB landscaping. We have a medium sized job that covered both front and the back yards. They were very punctual - showing up at my place at 8:00 am without fail. I found them very well organized and efficient, getting the right people and materials at the appropriate time They cleaned up the mess and were respectful to us and the neighbors. The quality of work was very clean and professional. I am also happy with the transparency of their pricing where they give you detailed line-by-line breakdown of the cost and also provide you the receipts. I really appreciate a business run like this - professional and transparent. Also a special note for Nate for answering 100+ email messages and answering and adjusting the project scope as needed. In all I have no reservations recommending RB to others. read more

RB is the best contractor I've had the pleasure working with. They have everything perfected and will beautify the whole Bay Area over time. Our work scope was large: 6 weeks - paver patio, driveway, walkway; reallocating sloped side yard into backyard with stone retaining wall; new lawns, landscaping, irrigation; new parts of fence and gates; composite deck; wired low-voltage lighting; installed new pergola. The people: Nate in the office is very responsive; we worked with an external designer and Nate was able to turnaround an estimate within a day - other competitors took weeks. Ramiro (the owner) gives great advice on design features during the estimate meeting. And then there's Gustavo (our foreman) who was the heart of our project. Gustavo perfectly planned our project and executed the work to perfection. Pricing: Excellent, competitive pricing and transparent. No change orders were initiated from RB. All change orders came from me and they provided quick, transparent prices. As long as you let them know at the beginning or middle of a phase to allow them to properly plan schedule-wise, they're more than happy to accommodate additional requests. Scheduling/time: RB is very busy, but they have so many crews and are so efficient that they were able to get our big project scheduled within 2 months. Scheduling is where RB shines the most. They never want to be behind schedule. If they feel like they're falling behind, they keep working harder... Gustavo and his crew arrived early in the morning and left very late everyday, and often through weekends. All of our project phases were finished on time. Work quality/communication: despite the efficiency, quality was excellent. Like all contractors there are issues, but Gustavo more than willingly took feedback daily and fixed things the correct way (no blaming the customer and no shortcuts!). What I appreciated was being able to have a conversation with the crew on how things were being done and it really felt like a contractor-customer team effort. Other: the crew is so respectful of neighbors. They're able to gauge what type of noise level and at what times neighbors would tolerate noise. If any neighbors came by, the RB crew was happy to talk to them to get on the neighborhood's good graces. read more

The RB team was amazing! We've had projects for our house every year the last five years, and the RB team was hands down the best contractor we have worked with. Reasonable rates: We compared four quotes and we chose them based on their experience and being among the most reasonable quotes we received. Amazing team: Nate was diligent in getting us a quote and updating it as we adjusted things, not to mention super patient. Hugo is the best foreman - super easy to deal with and was actively updating us throughout the project, even when we were traveling for about 2 weeks while they powered on. I was pleasantly surprised that they actually were moving ahead of schedule which is unheard of with any of the other contractors I have worked with. The crew was super hardworking and cleaned up at the end of the day. Fabulous results: We couldn't be happier with the whole process and just loving our new yard. Thanks so much, RB team! read more

We recently hired RB Landscape for a full front and backyard renovation, and couldn't be happier with the results. From the very first meeting, the owner Ramiro was professional, accommodating, and easy to work with. Nate helped us design a project plan that fit our vision and budget, and was extremely helpful in finding the right materials for the look we wanted. The crew was hardworking and respectful every single day on the job. They arrived on time, stayed focused, and kept the work area tidy. The entire project--demolition, concrete steps, retaining wall, paver installation, veneer work, and turf installation--was completed in just 10 days, which was impressively efficient without sacrificing any quality. The final result truly transformed our outdoor spaces. It's rare to find a team that combines speed, skill, and great communication, but RB Landscape delivered on all fronts. I'd gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and talented landscaping company. read more

After a nightmare year dealing with another construction company and a half-finished garden, we were incredibly lucky to find R&B Construction. Our neighbor had used them and gave a glowing recommendation--now we know why. From the moment Ramiro came to assess the mess we were left with, it was clear we were in good hands. He immediately pointed out all the issues, offered a fair and transparent quote, and presented us with options--including redoing the previous (incorrectly built) work. Even though his schedule was full, he managed to fit in key parts of the job to help us pass inspection and get our swim spa delivered on time. Ultimately, Ramiro and his team ended up demolishing and redoing almost everything. They corrected every issue and then some. The crew was outstanding--always punctual, professional, and respectful of our space. They never left a job unfinished or a mess behind. Ramiro even accommodated a last-minute request to work on our front yard. One day, a nine-person crew showed up and powered through everything with incredible efficiency. Truly, Ramiro was a lifesaver. We are beyond grateful and can't recommend R&B Construction enough. If you want a team that's honest, skilled, and committed to quality, this is it. read more

Having had a good experience many years ago with RB on fixing an irrigation issue we had, when it came time to redo our backyard, we reached out to RB again for a bid. The work involved new landscaping, deck building, paver/flagstone installation, cement seating, trench digging for electrical, and pergola installation. We found their bid estimate quite fair and hired them to bring our Yardzen dream design to life. Nate was very prompt and thorough in helping coordinate the process and Ramiro gave us good insight and suggestions on the site walkthrough before the job start. Jesus and his team arrived on time daily and worked very diligently, making sure we were happy with the results, and finished on time. RB Landscaping did a great job and we will definitely enjoy our new backyard for years to come. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]From start to finish, RB Landscaping stood out among the options we considered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were in constant communication and any requests were handled immediately.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] To no fault of their own, we wanted to make a small adjustment to what we previously decided on after they completed the work, they were happy to come back out and make the adjustment.

When I hired RB Landscaping to renovate my backyard, I didn't realize I would have to act as the general contractor, but that's sort of what happened. I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised, since they came in as the lowest of three landscaper bids (based on a plan I had procured from a separate landscape designer). I do have to give RB kudos for their scheduling. Once I agreed to their bid, they gave me a start date (over a month away) and they actually showed up on that very day with a trailer and tools. Semi-amazing. During the actual renovation. I was peppered with questions every morning, including some details clearly explained on the plan; which I pointed out. (Note: They didn't bring a copy; I actually had to print it out for them). In fact, there were so many questions and decisions that I ended up staying home from work for a few extra mornings. The plus side: I did know everything that was going on. Talking to the RB Office was like speaking to a different company. Though always friendly, Nate routinely insisted the crew had everything under control, whether they did or not. Before the job started, I asked about a soil-depth issue in one spot that would prevent cement pours (as noted by another bidding landscape firm). He insisted that our yard had already been checked; it was no problem; and they would simply adjust the cement block sizes. During the job, however, the crew found that cement was impossible without cutting major tree roots. And so we changed the plan to stepping stones (a notion that had been dismissed by Nate in my earlier question). He also made a major overcharge error ($1300) in the final bill, which I caught, though I don't think it was intentional. But It wasn't all bad. The landscaping crew were friendly, skilled, and very hard-working. They showed up and left each day at consistent times and always cleaned up. They were flexible with a few "surprises" that popped up. And they finished in exactly two weeks as promised (though they were very hurried at the end, failing to fix one error in the irrigation plan). Most importantly, however, our back yard looks great, and my wife now spends about 300% more time out there than she used to. So if you're on a tighter budget and don't mind being extra-involved with all the yard decisions, RB may be the right pick for you. If you would prefer to be totally hands-off and have the yard just "happen" you may want to go somewhere a little higher-end (as long as you're willing to pay a bit more). read more

My experience with RB Landscaping was absolutely excellent. Ramiro did a walkthrough and I was provided with a detailed quote including diagrams of how the work will be done by Nate.

We hired RB to redo our huge backyard. Nate was great with communication and timely with his responses. We had a few changes and lots of questions, but Nate was always able to answer everything and was understanding throughout the whole process. The foreman that worked on our backyard was Jesus. He was good and helpful when it came to the construction of our project. When we asked them to come back to look at something, they did so without any issues. The reason I can't give the 5 stars is because they weren't perfect. Communication during construction could have been better. The grading did not get built as originally discussed. Schedule related things were not always clear and I felt like we had to constantly ask questions to ensure things were on track. Our house was used to store material for other projects, and they actually almost forgot to take it with them at the end of the project until we reminded them. Luckily we have the space for it, but I wasn't particularly pleased with that. Nevertheless RB did a great job on our backyard project and we will be recommending them to family and friends. read more

Jesus was amazing, communicated clearly to us and finished everything on time. Would definitely recommend. read more

Jesus and team helped install drought-resistant plants & a stone pathway in the front yard and new sod in the back, complete with entirely new irrigation and mulch.

The landscaping looks beautiful now and we are excited to see the plants develop over time! read more

Our 2023 Home Improvement Project was completed last week! Here is additional context on what we were doing. First, our house is on a downslope of a hill so sections of our backyard fence leaned due to all the water from the recent atmospheric rivers. Second, we bought our house in 2016 so it was time to redo the previous owners' " stylistic " choices. Lastly, I wanted our house to be more carbon neutral so I had Semi Dwarf Meyer Lemon Trees planted. Aside, I thought when you bought a tree it came as 6-8 feet, not 3-4 feet. Looking forward to watching them grow! Nobu, Brian, and et al were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Perhaps next year we'll redo our driveway and the front area of our house! read more

RB replaced our old concrete patio with pavers, leveled the yard, put in a retaining wall, new grass and plants. Though a small backyard, there were a lot of moving pieces and the backyard looks great. The strong pros were: bid was competitive and thorough, great communication with Nate ('home office') and Ramiro (owner) leading up to and during the project, project came in within a few hundred dollars of the initial bid and finished on time, team of 5 (led by foreman Jorge) came every day on time, worked all day, left everything clean, respectful, asked lots of questions/wanted everything to be as we wanted. I would work with RB again and recommend them, but caveat I found it very helpful to be home during the entirety of the project to ensure everything was going to plan and do quality control, as well as do some trouble shooting when things didn't go to plan. From a craftsmanship perspective I would not say this is the most perfect work, but they also did not bid as the most expensive. read more
