He insisted Saturday morning and next Tuesday when I had already told him we had kids game scheduled and other estimates had already on the table due to yelp recommendations. Other businesses also had put time and effort in bidding, I don't think this business cares for our project as others. It is an estimate for a block fence wall raise project not involving big design job, I told him we can wait for him Thursday and Friday night even later. It's just red flag. Their ai answer machine is useless, I left messages before requesting on yelp, never got called back. I won't recommend this business.

We had a prior pond that we built during COVID and was really looking for something bigger and professionally done. AquaLife was the perfect answer. They demoed the old pond, kept our fish in a perfect temp pond and quickly built the most amazing space and pond. Truly impressive and worth every penny spent. I highly recommend the team at AquaLife!

We were nervous but Wesley reassured us that everything would be ok and came often to check on the progress. Although our project (Santa Barbara smooth finish) was small, Fatu and Francisco (ultimate craftsman) were meticulous and made sure every inch was flawless. They were timely, arrived when scheduled, and very professional. I would recommend Aloha Concrete who need any hardscape installed.

Wes is also very responsive when I call. Hard workers and good people, with great work. If you need concrete work, give them a call!

Working with Growscapes was easy and seamless. Anthony came out to look at my job. He provided me with some suggestions and input. Thereafter, I quickly received a job bid/price that was reasonable and fair. When the work began, they set the plants out and made sure I was happy with the plant placement. Victor and his crew worked quickly and efficiently. When the job was complete, everything looked and worked great. Upon completion of everything, I received an email from Anthony providing me with the irrigation schedule and aftercare instructions. This company was very easy to work with.

A few months go by and our old backyard fence was in the final stage of falling apart so we contacted Alex (aka turtle) who provided the initial quote for us and he came back out and gave us the final numbers and all.

Chris the project manager was always in communication with us and his foreman Ivan was always on site and answered any questions we had. Couldn't be more pleased with the result, would recommend them to anyone.

I'd caution anyone from placing too much weight on this company's high rating, as my recent…read moreexperience involved a last-minute cancellation, poor communication, and ultimately being ghosted. I originally connected with them through Thumbtack for a sizable project and scheduled an appointment for Thursday, June 4th at 11:00 a.m. The appointment was canceled just 20 minutes before they were due to arrive. To salvage the opportunity, the salesperson, Chris, texted me and offered to come the following day at noon instead, along with a 5% discount for the inconvenience. I rearranged my schedule twice to accommodate them during what was already an exceptionally difficult time, as I was preparing to say goodbye to my 16-year-old dog that weekend. Chris did arrive on Friday as promised, but a week has now passed and I have received neither a bid nor any follow-up communication from anyone at the company. Shortly after the appointment, their Thumbtack profile was also removed or hidden. While I can't say why, the timing was odd, as it prevented me from leaving a review on the platform where we originally connected. I've uploaded screenshots with this review documenting the interaction, including Chris's last-minute cancellation, his offer of a 5% discount, and the Thumbtack notification showing the company was no longer available on the platform. If reliability, communication, and follow-through are important to you, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

He was great at explaining the work he was going to do which involved completely redoing the lawn irrigaiton and replacing our garden irrigation with drip irrigation. We also added controllers with timers and after talking with Zach upgraded to the ones with the app. A couple of weeks after the work was done, Zach stopped by to check on how the plants were doing and made adjustments to the watering schedule. We are so happy with the work that was done and can already see the improvement in our landscaping with more regular watering. I would highly recommend Zach and Surf N Turf Landscaping.
