I cannot say enough good things about Santini's Landscaping. Their Team installed the synthetic lawn in my backyard. The Team was so professional and polite. They worked with me when I changed my mind about the project. They meticulously cleaned up the entire area. The Team Lead Rommel kept me updated everyday about the scope of work to be performed that day as well as throughout the day. Like I said....I cannot say enough good things about the job or work! I am a VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!!! read more

We had a total redo of our backyard done by Santini (minus the pool). Our first step was creating the design. Marty had a lot of great ideas to make our backyard flow from one area to the next. Marty was there every step of the way making sure everything was going well. After the demo of our yard, he "painted" out the design, we were then able to say "yes, that will look great" or "no, let's do this." He was very accommodating to our changes. The workers were great, and cleaned up after themselves every day. Our backyard looks beautiful! read more

Santinis has been doing a lot of work in our neighborhood. We called Marty to get a design. We had a few ideas in mind but he was able to direct us a different direction based on budget and desires. I appreciated that he was flexible to adjust the design to meet our needs. His crew kept the yard clean and were respectful. We will be calling him soon to finish the rest of our yard! read more

Far and away the best contractors I've worked with! The owner is honest, friendly, and delivers on time (and at a great cost for what you're getting -- in my case, a brick patio, artificial turf, and a gas fire pit). After the initial quote and contract, we did most of our communicating over text because I was traveling, and everything turned out great! read more

Where do I begin... My mom is sick & in the hospital as I write this. When she went in, she called me to tell me Santini's Landscaping would be at the house for 2 days. Ok cool. The first day came & went. I walked out back & immediately noticed a mess. Their garbage in 3 different areas, a pile of gravel that had not been leveled out, gravel on the concrete & an unfinished border. I didn't read too much into it at the time because I thought they were coming back the next day. Turns out, he did not plan on coming back & was requesting payment. I was in shock. I called him & told him as a business owner myself I would never leave my work/someone's home like that. He replied with, "I gave your mom a deal." "I wanted to get my guys in & out for your mom." He was friendly & in my opinion manipulative over the phone. At this point, not once did he apologize or offer to come back & clean up his mess. When we hung up, I had to sit & think for a minute. I called my husband & another landscaping company for a second opinion. At first I was going to have my husband clean up their mess, but decided to text the owner instead. I text him, "...I'm disappointed that as a company you did not offer to clean up your mess after it was brought to your attention." And sent him pictures. Finally an apology & text back that he would send someone out in the morning. In the meantime, we had another landscaping company come out for the second opinion. We were told my mom was taken advantage of. When the crew showed up the next morning, my husband was there to greet them & yes of course my husband was upset. He expressed his concerns to the owner about the second opinion & the unfinished border. That unfortunately my mom agreed to because she doesn't know any better. The owner stated he's been doing this for 40+ years yet, he couldn't/wouldn't figure out how to place a border over the tree roots. (When the second opinion already had an idea.) My husband told the owner to make it right, but he refused to do/try anything. My husband said the owner was a d***. He had to walk away. As all this is happening the owner is texting my mom in the hospital stressing her out instead of using good customer service. Unfortunately, she hired him not us, so we were stuck paying him. Now we are hiring someone else to finish the job he couldn't do. He's unprofessional & overpriced. I expect he'll be replying to this, but I don't care. No one messes with my mom. Pictures to follow. UPDATE I'm not reading or entertaining his response/excuses. The good news is, the "second opinion" landscaper was right. It could be done. Took 1 hour with $60 material. My husband, cousin & uncle with ZERO experience finished the job. Pictures posted. read more

Called to get a quote for artificial grass installation and the guy who responded was rude once I told him I already had the artificial grass. He said we are not interested in installing other's grass not at all. I think he could have been polite but he just had a condescending tone. No need to be rude. read more

Santini and his workers have nicely executed a gorgeous design plan for our backyard. Given the strange measurements of our backyard, Marty was able to create a design to perfectly fit our backyard. His crew is very professional and quick. I would definitely recommend his services to family and friends! He has a great vision and is very knowledgeable of the plants and color schemes that would suite any backyard. Thank you Santini's Landscaping for our new backyard for our family to enjoy! read more

He came to my home and gave me excellent ideas for my yard. Friendly, Honest, highly recommend!

I'm sure they do some things OK... I saw on their website that they will install sod, so I called. When the man on the other end of the phone heard that was the reason I was calling, he cut me off and explained to me that they haven't installed sod for years despite their own advertising to the contrary. Big waste of time. Good luck figuring out what they ACTUALLY do. ___________________________________________________ UPDATE: And now, after Santini's Landscaping's response... They will cut you off of your "long drawn out description" (which in my case included as much side-yard covered patio, outdoor kitchen, rock features, fruit trees, and artificial grass, our tens of thousands we saved and budgeted for could buy, along with the 200 square feet of, yes, actual grass in the tiny front yard and city right-of-way) if you start the conversation with "I'd like to have some sod placed in the front of my home along wi..." I'm not sure who they are willing to pay attention to or why a potential customer starting with a request for one of their advertised services somehow became a non-starter for everything else to be done on my 5,000 square feet of bare dirt, but I would look elsewhere if you wish to be treated with respect and not waste your time. read more

Marty and his team did a great job on our back yard. I appreciated his candor, thoughtfulness, and experience during the initial quotation, where he offered insights into what parts of our design may or may not work and how they could be tweaked to serve us better. Once his team began work, they were incredibly quick, hard working, and professional. They finished our entirely undeveloped back yard project in 8 days, putting in pavers, gravel, walls, and artificial turf. The team always checked in at key points to make sure the design was turning out as we wanted. I would not hesitate to recommend Marty & team to anyone, and will think of them when it comes time to add some enhancements to our new back yard and to re-do our front yard. read more

We used Santini landscaping for both the front and backyard landscaping of our home. The backyard was a blank canvas and Marty was able to design it based on my vision and his expertise. His backyard design provided a paver patio, pergola, water feature, fire pit, artificial turf with wall features and beautiful tree and plant features. We love every inch of it! Our front yard had been designed by the original developer and looked like it. Marty was able to transform it to a one of a kind landscape that enhanced the entrance to the house and left it with a feeling of elegance. The basic design connects to features in the back yard we well. If you want to truly transform your landscaping, add value to your home and enjoy it for years to come, I recommend Santini's Custom Landscaping. read more

I got artificial turf from them 3 or 4 years ago. It still looks new. They came out when hey were supposed to. They cleaned up thoroughly. I have had 2 questions about the turf in this time. He got back with me quickly with answers. read more

I can't thank Marty and his guys enough for the beautiful job they did on my backyard. Marty's experience and knowledge really helped the project go from paper to a reality. His guys take great pride in their work, and really make sure lines are straight and every paver is level. My backyard now is a place I can host large gatherings with friends and family. With the different areas created, the kids can play, and the adults can sit by the fire or under the pergola and dine. This is the second project Marty has done for me and I look forward to the next. read more

The owner has a short temper and very rude. By the looks of the other reviews other people feel the same way. The sod he installed at my house was dead and had to come out and replace. My pavers looked terrible and had to pay another person to fix. read more

Just gave these people a call inquiring about sprinkler and landscaping services. Some guy answered the phone was very rude and short over. I started by asking about sprinkler services and this guy responds "no, good bye" and hung up in my face before I could finish my inquiry. I wouldn't recommend anyone waste their time and subject themselves to the negativity coming from this company's lack of customer service. read more

I have a 2 because he showed up to our appointment on time. We had just hired another crew to put in our concrete steps on our shipped backyard, the concrete was a day old. First thing he said is: "why'd you do your steps that color? I would've done them pink." Rude. He then proceeded to talk about how he would've done the steps. Then quoted us $10-12k for installation of plants, flowers, irrigation and boulders. He said we should have an engineer test out sold and the total cost of that with our initial needs would be $13-14k. I was a bit shocked, but understood that every company is different. While he was here he answered his phone about 4-5 times and had a conversation with potential customers right in front of us, rude. When I initially called I left a voicemail, I guess we weren't important enough to let the calls go to voicemail. We ended up going to a nursery off 8-mile road. Everything, including modifications for soil erosion prevention is going to cost us $5,300. I am glad there are companies out there who don't try to take advantage of people and give honest work at honest prices. read more

Marty and crew did a wonderful job on our front yard. From demolition until fully finished they did a top notch job. We told him our budget and what we thought and he worked it into the new drought resistant front yard. Pictures posted below by my wife under Jennifer C. We actually went slightly over budget and Marty absorbed it and did not ask us for the balance. I would have been more then happy to pay it. We love the new front yard. Would highly recommend Santini's Landscape to anyone. Once we put pool in the back we will have him return and redo our back yard also. read more

I was calling a few local businesses to get a quote for planting a tree and work on the front yard irrigation. I didn't even finish saying what I wanted, when I was told "...No we don't do jobs that small!" While I can appreciate every business having limitations, you shouldn't be so dismissive of people. read more

If your yard needs updating, contact Santini's Landscaping. At first I was skeptical with some of their reviews but their appointment availably worked with my schedule. After my initial appointment they walked me through the process. I received my estimate and design. You can't go wrong with stamped concrete it looks great! Thank you again. read more

Called for an estimate for concrete and grass. Guy wants to talk us into artificial grass. Repeatedly stated I did not want that. He tells me that he can put, grass but it wont last. I have had grass there for 25 years, I know it will be fine and that's what I want. Then says he is going to get something from his truck and HE LEFT! A total pushy asshole. read more

Marty and crew did a great job! He told us about the HERO program and we signed up! He made everything smooth and easy. Gave us exactly what we wanted within our budget and got it done quickly!

We will definitely be calling Marty at Santini Landscaping to get the job done! read more

My husband and I had an appointment to get an estimate, and Santino came and was nice. He told us about a program where you could get s loan for artificial grass. When I called to follow up on the loan he said there is no loan for concrete.. even though I was asking about the grass. He then said that he had been very busy and hadn't gotten a chance to look and see if our neighborhood qualified. I asked him to call me back when he had time... he never did. read more

What a lousy business. I simply called these guys for a simple quote and the jerk on the phone was absolutely rude to myself for no reason. I would never consider calling this place ever again to do any sort of maintenance on my property. There are other a lot nicer places to call,which I of course did, and now have a regular landscape company that's nice and do great work. read more

I had about $20,000 worth of work that needed to be done. Called Santini's to come out for an estimate, the man I spoke with was very short with me, and asked me to text a number to set something up. I did, and didn't get a reply until two weeks later asking if I still needed an estimate? I replied with "two weeks later? No thanks" to which they replied, they're busy and moving shops blah blah blah. This could have been explained to me during our first conversation, I would have been a little more understanding. If you contact this company, I hope you have a better initial experience. read more

After moving into our new home we knew one of our first projects to get done was to get the backyard. The owner Marty was great, he answered all of our questions and was always great at getting back to us right away. We had drainage installed, had concrete poured, put in some trees and plants, put in a zero waterfall with rocks, and sod and sprinkling system put in. We loved the end result and we liked working with Santini's Landscaping. I would recommend this company to family and friends. They were professional and created the backyard we had envisioned given our budget. read more

I had Marty come out to look at my yard and give me ideas since I had no idea what to do. He laid out a plan and gave me a quote. Marty started on a Monday told be it would be finished on Friday. Finished a day early and on budget!!!! My yard is beautiful, thank you Marty for getting the job done. I look forward to enjoying my yard this summer thanks to you and your crew. read more

Santini gave us an appointment for a concrete estimate on 08/14/15 at 630pm. He said the time was good and he would be there that evening. We (father and I) have two properties next to each other and were looking for approximately 50-60 yards of concrete installed depending on design. We both adjusted our schedules to make it to the appointment on time after work. We travel 25 minutes to the job site, arriving on time, and wait over 45 minutes only to have Santini no show. We tried calling and he had shut his phone off. A phone call or text saying he wouldn't have made it would have been fine and a reschedule no problem. But a no show gives him a no thanks. We will take our money else where and so should you. read more

We used Santini Landscaping for improvements on our backyard including retaining walls, concrete, moving gas lines, stone, fire pit construction, stucco and plants. Owner Marty is fantastic and his crew was awesome--so considerate and polite. Marty is extremely creative and can bring your design to a new level. We want him to work on our front yard next! He's honest, competent and hardworking. read more

I would not recommend this company to anyone. They did a terrible job. poured concrete in a driveway without re-bar. Put down rocks in a side yard without putting down the black paper to keep weeds out, just put down a very thin weed net. Weeds came up within a week and the driveway will not last without re-bar. When I checked his license, it was only for Landscaping and not concrete. That should have been my first clue not to let him do the work. I made a mistake by letting him do the job but want to see to it that others realize what they are getting into. His license covers only landscaping and he is not good at that. read more

Santini's did a great job on my backyard. I have a backyard with 7 redwoods and no sunlight. They came in and removed all the problem areas the trees were creating. They also put in french drains, and some drip lines for my trees. I choose to go with the ECO 80 turf and it looks really good. The workers worked hard and kept me informed on the yard and its completion time. Overall very happy with the work read more

Marty and his guys are great, we just had them put in artificial turf as our front lawn. We happened to met Marty in Home Depot while we were both shopping and he came to our house 30 mins later to provide an estimate. Once we discussed our budget he was great in helping us fit the project into the designated budget while ensuring the end result was what we desired. His guys are extremely hard workers and professional while still being willing to smile and wave at small children who are curious about what is happening. In total the job took two days and the end result was so good that three of my neighbors asked for estimates and at least two of them are planning on using Marty and his crew. read more
