    Paver patio and walkway
    Sophia C.

    We had an exceptional experience with Shubha Landscape Design. We found Shubha to be extremely knowledgeable in her field, very informed about all aspects of the job and so very organized. She communicated with us via phone and email and was always quick to respond to questions and concerns. One thing I especially liked was her attention to detail and her commitment to check everything with us to make sure it was what we wanted. Another thing I appreciated about Shubha was her VAST Knowledge. We don't actually know that much and she not only provided multiple options for paver design, look and patterns, but talked to us about other options for every aspect of our job with photo examples and a list of pros and cons for each choice. We had to make adjustments over the course of the project because of how our yard is shaped and Shubha was very flexible in adjusting to our new requests. Her crew was professional and talented in their work. Additionally, everyone wore masks and socially distanced while on the job and Shubha kindly worked with our rather odd COVID schedules. We are extremely satisfied with the rock border, paver pathway and patio we had installed. We will continue to hire Shubha Landscape Design to complete this very large project as we move through our plans.

    Drought-tolerant front yard with dry creek

    I first contacted Shubha because I wanted to turn our front yard of dead grass and weeds into a low-maintenance drought-tolerant landscape. I have been very pleased with her knowledge, dedication, and willingness to work with me to make everything just what I want. She is very knowledgeable about plants and has taught me a lot. She included me in all the plant selections, including discussing what colors I want in the yard, and answered all my questions quickly. She has given me a lot of her time and expertise. I really liked the fact that she was always on the job site to oversee everything whenever her crew was working. I am happy to recommend Shubha Landscape Design.

    (From four stars, to three to one) I am a returning customer with Shubha. Even though we were not entirely happy with the work five years ago, we still wanted to reach out to her and give her another chance. When we approached Shubha for this job, we had a small budget (~$5,000). We just wanted her to help us with the gardening. We had weed all over, overgrown bushes and pruning, and yard clean up. There was an unfinished pathway that we didn't finish last time that had weeds. She recommended us to put pavers on it. We calculated about $15k+ for that. Even though it was over our budget, we approved this project. Here are the things that didn't went well: We hired her to help us de-weed all around our home and prune our bushes. Which she did an overall cleaning of weed on Gardening areas only (+$1800). Later found out many items were Out of the Scope. So we ended up with many other areas of weed and only roses pruned. If an invoice came, and I pointed out there were still things to be done, she would say she did few things for free, so how could I tell her it was not done. If I spoke up, she would get very upset. We had to buy extra pavers for this paving job (168 pieces), which we went together to the store to purchase and she provided 'delivery service' to bring home. However, she said it was my responsibility to unload the pavers myself from the truck for the paving job I hired her to do. Her arguments is that those pavers belonged to me, so I have to unload them myself. In the dynamic of me explaining to the workers details of where or how I wanted things, it seems that I asked them for things she didn't approve. Like weeding, indicating where I wanted left over pavers, and straightening a tall plant. Which then I gladly paid for, as Extra Work. ($225) Among other issues was that I couldn't understand the goal of her questions. For example, she would want me to decide the gradient (slope) of a patio (paved circle) which I am not a professional to decide; whether I wanted to put a retainer wall that was absolutely necessary for this patio, not in the estimate (~$2000 more) The main reason for the 1 star -$1,000 was paid as Down payment as requested in the contract to be applied towards the estimates, check was cashed. -I paid All progress invoices within about one business day. Invoice come via email after 8 pm the night job was concluded. She expected payments the next morning before noon, otherwise is late. When we hit the balance of $1000 remainder. She was still asking for full payment of invoices. She explained to me that the way it works is that first, I have to pay all invoices in Full, then I will receive my "down payment" back, after her checks are deposited into her account and cashed. She pointed out that CSLB (California State Licensing Board) and the law supports it and I could check with them, and that this is common practice among contractors. I tried to reason with her, trying to work things out fairly. I had the last check for the balance of the invoices (~$663), and I asked her to exchange it for the ($1000) down payment check. She refused and demanded to have her check ready. When she came to pick up the check, she was friendly and asked me if she could go take pictures of my vegetable boxes. I reluctantly comply as I wasn't sure how she would react. She started taking pictures of my property (several) and around the house as we walked around. I kept the conversation kind and cordial. Once she finished her "walkaround", she demanded her check but asked her if I could have my $1000 check back. She threaten me if I wanted to go to court. Eventhough she was not done with the work. All checks cashed. No down payment check back. So $24,000 later, +$1000, house with weeds, unpruned bushes. Update : received my "Balance" check back.

    Shubha was instrumental in the successful conversion of our water-guzzling, weed-prone lawn into a drought-tolerant, colorful landscape. When I went to the first plant-selection meeting with Shubha, I was expecting a lineup of ho-hum, run-of-the-mill green shrubs. I was very surprised when she asked about my preferred color palette and showed me a wonderful array of flowering plants from various regions of the world having a climate similar to the Bay Area. I had a ball selecting the plants, with gentle, patient guidance from Shubha. The plants are well-established now. They don't need much water since they are mostly drought-tolerant varieties. The biggest plus - something is always flowering Spring through Fall. Even in the depths of winter, there are some perennials that have reddish foliage, providing splashes of color during the dreary wintry season. Over the next several years, Shubha also designed other areas of our yard. The most recent was alongside the walkway after we remodeled the front of our house (before and after photos attached).

    Edit " Shubha's creative design helped us to reduce our lawn by 1/3, replacing it with a beautiful 12' blue flagstone sitting area surrounded by a variety of plants. She personally selected each piece of flagstone for color and shape and we couldn't be happier with the results. Her choice of plants included a variety of shapes, colors, and textures, and is not only very attractive, but makes the garden area much more interesting. Her eye for design and her knowledge of plants and gardening has given us a beautiful area which we are already enjoying. We highly recommend her.

    We added another two "rooms" in our front yard with Shubha and couldn't be happier with the view from outside and inside. She worked with our budget and our wishes and we ended up with a beautiful "no-mow" yard.

    Foreman and crew were very professional and handled everything with precision and care. Thank you…read moreso much! We are 100% happy customers (-: We requested for all of our different palm trees, box shrubs, and podocarpus hedge to be trimmed back (all if not most were at least 2-3 stories tall). The crew was on time, extremely efficicent and communicative. Everyone was very mindful of our neighbors fence, property, roof line and powerlines. Everyone had PPE on and were so incredibly safe when scaling the trees and hedges. Clean up was very thorough. Majority of our fronds and hedge were processed by the chipper and hauled. Our neighbor was so impressed with the crew he also hired them on the spot to take care of his street tree. It is impressive how much green waste we produced that day. Luckily the city picks up yard trimings on the street so his crew broke down anything else we had to sizeable chunks and neatly piled for SJ GreenWaste to pick up. We will be happy to call them again for yearly tree maintenance service.

    I'm so happy about the work done by Majestic Tree Service…read more Joseph was my point of contact and he was professional from start to finish. He set a time for the estimate, let me know he was on the way, and arrived at the time agreed. Joseph inspected my yard areas with me and had some ideas that I hadn't considered. He gave a competitive estimate, including an accurate timeframe when his crew would arrive. His team also arrived on time. They're equipped like professionals, including all their gear and grinders. They look like they've been working together for a long time as they were quite efficient. They collected all the scraps and blew away all the debris so my yard looks really clean. After they left, Joseph did a walkthrough with me to make sure everything was done right. Thanks so much. I'll definitely call you guys again when I need more work done.

She…read morewas referred to us by our neighbor, and from the first time we met her, she was knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful, and easy to work with. We wanted something beautiful but low maintenance, and Gun really took the time to understand what we were looking for. She had us complete a survey, met with us a few times, and put together a thoughtful design with visuals and a really cool rendering video that helped us picture the final space. What stood out most was how much expertise she brought to the process. She truly knows her plants and was great at explaining what would work best in different areas based on light, watering needs, and long-term maintenance. She also uses great technology and apps to help think through lighting, irrigation, and the overall design. Gun was onsite multiple times to walk through plant and tree options with us, and she also referred us to a great landscaper who helped bring the design to life. During the final walkthrough, she even brought over a few plants from her own garden, which was such a sweet and personal touch. We love her expertise, her attention to detail, and the special touches she brought to the project. We highly recommend Gun!

She designed water zones and drip system. She did a great job with improving the lighting plan, and worked very well with our contractor.

We are retaining Gun for future consultation on the watering schedule and highly recommend her services.

I need to troubleshoot why some sprinklers on my lawn were not working as intended, and it turns out that a valve needed to be replaced. We went ahead and also replaced the control panel which was dated. Emiliano was great on the day of service. Did the work, checked to make sure everything was working properly before leaving.

However, it all went wrong the next day when the fence installer hit a pipe while digging for a post. I'm not sure why they thought they could just move the sprinkler heads without accounting for the pipe location. They did come back the next day to fix the problem, but it was clear they didn't want to be there; they left our lawn and sprinklers in a mess. The sprinklers were left above ground and weren't even straight. We had to dig them up ourselves to try and fix them, but we couldn't get them flush with the ground because they had left the pipe set way too high. They also left multiple heads pointed in the wrong direction. It was a total headache, and it's still frustrating to this day whenever I see those sprinkler heads poking out of the ground.

    Out of the nine contractors we interviewed, Renzo was the only one who insisted on no cement…read moreapproach; made me consult an arborist; suggested to grade the whole front lot instead of just replacing the old pathway; and genuinely cared about my plants.  We didn't want to hire him at the beginning and was even about to sign contract with someone else. It all started with the inquiry of concrete footing which he refused to do and I wanted to know why. He replied promptly. During our communication, Renzo's clarity, persistence, knowledge and patience impressed and persuaded me, not to mention his very reasonable quote. Instinctively I knew I could trust Renzo and he is the right guy for my project, even though I haven't met him.  So I waited a month and hired him. The wait was worth it. They built three walls and one patio, redesigned front left yard by grading and building a new pebble pathway with statue, installed lighting and irrigation system that had better dripping rings. They also revamped the driveway that made it look brand new and pebble-covered the right front yard.  It was truly a remarkable experience. Not only they did an excellent job with fine craftmanship, but their punctuality, hardwork, efficiency, know-how, discipline, organization, respect, kindness and neatness were a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration beyond a mere landscaping job. They take pride at what they do and the result is phenomenal! Before and during the three-week construction, Renzo was very respectful and made me feel my opinion matters. He was responsive, accommodating, flexible, easygoing and honest. He listened. He always showed how it would look. When something didn't work out, he was open to suggestions and assisted with solutions. I felt he had my best interest. The level of care to my plants led to high survival rate during transplant. I also noticed one of my trees was magically recovered from disease and the other was vigorously blossoming, which has never happened before. They brought life to my garden. Everything was done very nicely. They cleaned up the whole place and it was much better and cleaner than when they started. They also showed up for additional work as promised. Renzo and his crew transformed my old and messy space into the most beautiful and meaningful garden/haven that I could have only dreamed of. With the new lawn, now my garden has never looked better. I spend more time there and enjoy it more than ever. Renzo at Total Landscape is the best! I highly recommend them!
