I hired Skywood Landscaping to complete a major renovation of my house's backyard primarily because of their stellar reputation and expertise with design and installation of paved patios. Ken Truong (owner of Skywood) and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Ken carefully listened to my objectives during an initial site visit. I didn't have a particular design in mind, but within about 10 days Ken was able to prepare a written proposal that included 2D and 3D photos of what the finished landscape renovation might look like. This was really helpful because only few iterations of discussion and revisions were needed to complete the final proposal. Demolition of the existing backyard included removal of trees, artificial turf, patio blocks, and a considerable amount of soil. This phase was completed relatively quickly and without any problems due to Skywood's obvious experience. The next phases included installation of drainage pipes and conduits for lighting and irrigation and then covering with rock base and pavers. Skywood's efforts during these phases included an uncommonly high level of attention to detail to ensure that rainwater would flow away from the house and into the storm drains. The final phases included installation of a redwood fence, installation of rock veneer and capstone to cover a retaining wall, and installation of lights, plants and irrigation to produce a really beautiful garden. Despite several hot summer days, Ken and his crew always had a friendly, positive attitude and left the worksite clean each day. I give Skywood Landscaping my highest recommendation, and I would surely hire them in the future. read more

What a wonderful experience replacing my small backyard lawn. For years, this area was difficult to maintain. It was a curved area and hard to irrigate as well. Ken suggested I look at their newer samples of artificial turf. There has been some progress in materials which are durable and cooler than the older materials from years past. I love my new lawn! I can walk on it in the sun with bare feet, and no more wasted water. His crew were very experienced and able to complete my new landscaping project in just one day. Their crew even straightened out some crooked paving stones I had been meaning to fix. So kind of them. While working around my existing landscaping they protected everything. No damage anywhere. And the cleanup was perfect. Real top notch pros! Even the quote was incredibly affordable. I could not recommend anyone as high as Skywood. read more

Ken did the initial design work, and then he and his team did the work, which included a retaining wall, new fence, and irrigation, in addition to putting in the lawn and hedges. It was a pretty large project, and they managed to complete it in one week, and they did an excellent job. Five stars: I would definitely recommend. read more

Ken, Sebastian, and their team did a great job on my extensive landscaping project at a very reasonable price. My job was complicated as it included demolition of a large patio and side area, repaired drainage system, installation of an exposed aggregate custom 160'+ pathway, 12-valve new irrigation system covering both front, sides and rear yards and installing two lawns. Throughout this project everyone was ontime, cleaned up each day, and worked with me to ensure I was happy with the end result - and I was! Highest recommendation! read more

Ken and his Skywood Landscaping crew just finished redoing my yard. They transformed 10 years of overgrown plants into a lovely, clean and neat yard with surrounding rock and they did it in 2 days while also repairing the broken irrigation system! Not only are they fast and efficient, but they take great pride in their work. For example, Sebastian who had the task of trimming my very overgrown hedge ( 40 ft./over 8 ft. tall) did a great job. When he finished, I thought it looked great. But, he stood back, looking at it the way an artist does his canvas and he wasn't satisfied. He removed more from the top and redid the trimming across the front of the hedge until it met his standards! It looked good before, but it looks terrific now! My neighbors have complimented the crews' work as has my mailman and even a door-to door salesperson. My yard is now the pride of the neighborhood! Maggie W. Santa Rosa, CA May 29, 2024 read more

From start to finish Ken and his crew were the best. A fair quote compared to others along with an actual design renderings set Skywood apart from the rest.

Loving our new yard! read more

Skywood Landscaping was amazing to work with through the design process. Ken was polite, responsive, and presented a design to us that unlocked our imagination for our backyard project. We had anchored on a design we came up with ourselves, but Ken's design blew us away (see photos attached). We had to switch! He visited our property multiple times before we were even under contract to hear our feedback on the design and incorporate changes. His proposal was clear and detailed as well. It was a great experience all around, and we can't wait to work with Ken and his team! read more

AWESOME EXPERIENCE!! I had the pleasure of hiring Skywood Landscaping, and I could not be more thrilled with the exceptional job and results. From the very beginning, Ken was not only professional but also incredibly flexible and accommodating to my needs. He took the time to listen to my vision and preferences, and I was impressed by the variety of creative options that was presented. The team of workers showed up when they said they would be there and was always on time. I was so impressed with how easy it was to work with Ken and team, and how easy this project went. Even when I had to travel out of town for work and was in a different time zone, Ken and team continued the project and kept me updated and informed. After that, I had total trust in Ken and Skywood landscaping. The project was completed ahead of schedule and the quality of their work was outstanding. I wanted a simple backyard but unique in a way and with a little artistic flavor. I'm beyond satisfied with the backyard, and looking forward to Skywood doing the front yard.

Kenny and his team are amazing. I met Kenny in November when I began my search for a landscaper to design and build my back yard. Kenny provided me with a design that was perfect and way under my budget, leaving room for some upgrades. He planned to start in a week and complete my yard in 5 days. My HOA was unreasonably demanding and the project was put on hold for several months. Kenny was very understanding. The project was finally started last Monday and completed today. I could not be happier with Kenny and his team from Skywood Landscaping! read more

We had an awesome experience with Skywood Landscaping. Ken was responsive throughout the process and is very knowledgeable on landscaping which gave us confidence from the beginning. Ken gave us a free estimate and on the first meetup we ended up mapping out a plan that includes concrete pathways, drought resistance plants, artificial turf, and some planting. After the meeting we decided to go with Skywood. Ken scheduled his team within a week. His team ended up finishing the job within 5 days total. They were incredible and so hard working. The final product looks beautiful. We couldn't be happier! If I had to do this all over again, I would select Skywood Landscaping again and will recommend them to our neighbors. read more

I highly recommend Skywood Landscaping. They are very skilled and very professional. Last year, we purchased a home in Santa Rosa. The house had no landscaping. We called and Ken came. He really listened to our ideas and vision. He explained to us in details and the work involved. We scheduled the work and they got the job on schedule and the work is quality. The concrete patio and planting looks amazing and I can't wait to have a family gathering on the new patio. In the process, Ken was able to change a few things that I wanted done differently and was always professional and willing to work with me . Ken got back to me and also reached out to me on his own to provide updates and discuss additional recommendations. Great experience with this company and if we ever need additional work done we will definitely use Skywood! We are so glad we found them. read more

This review is long overdue. Skywood Landscaping did a fantastic job on our 28x30 concrete patio with stairs! Ken was quick to respond with a quote for exactly what I wanted. He and his crew were professional, hard-working, courteous, and helpful throughout the entire process. The patio came out great! We couldn't be happier and will definitely call them again for any future projects! read more

Skywood landscaping crew were fantastic to work with. The owner Ken came by and listened to our ideas for our front and backyard landscape. He offered his input and wasn't against our idea but improved overall goal in mind. There were a lot of weeds, concrete, and scrubs we wanted to take out. During the construction phase we changed things up. Ken didn't hesitate to accommodate. While the work was in progress he stopped by and check to make sure everything was going according to plan. He even sent a second guy off site to come fix some underground leakage. Ken and his crew is all around great people to work with! Will reccommd to anyone looking to have their yard redone read more

When I called Skywood Landscaping and spoke with the owner, Ken, I knew he was the one we wanted to hire to complete our landscape project. Ken came to our house the same day I called him, he was professional and efficient. When my wife and I sat down with Ken, he understood what we wanted right away. He had his design team get to work on it and within 3 days we had a design that we were ready to bring to life. The entire team was highly skilled and competent. We had a two tier retaining wall, steps, paver walkway, turf, drip system and lighting installed. The team showed up everyday at 7 a.m. and stayed until 4 p.m. sometimes later. They cleaned up everyday before leaving and very detailed in their work. Ken kept us in the loop on everything they did to make sure it was what we wanted. It took a month to complete the project and it was totally worth the wait to see it become exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend Ken and his crew at Skywood Landscaping for any landscaping needs you have. Thanks again Ken for a wonderful experience. read more

Very happy to meet Ken, he was honest, had good knowledge and was ready to help me. I recommend the service!

Skywood completely blown me away. From the initial meet up & customer service, to actual work, very impressive. There was a foreman Sebastian, who is very skilled, answered our questions and made us feel very comfortable that the work was going to be done properly. He came by and made sure that even the smallest details of having the slope drain the right direction. The workers put their head down and worked full days every single day from 7AM to 3PM. The job was completed in half a week. Thank you so much for the work you have provided! read more

Just got done with full front and backyard relandscape; patio installation, new lawn, irrigation, retaining wall using Skywood. We met with Ken a couple of times to work out a plan. He was an eye for design and attention to detail and was very involved in selecting the right colors/shapes for our pavers. He made sure the project was getting done right. Once work got started, the team was on time, hardworking, clean after each workday, and made our yard presentable. I couldn't believe how quickly they removed our old patio and lawn. Ken was always involved and made sure the project was going as planned. There was a lead foreman who had a lot of experience and really knows his stuff. It was a pleasure watching the teamwork. It was very reassuring to discuss modifications to the project, get meaningful feedback and then be confident that it will be done correctly. Overall, we are very happy with their workmanship and the ability to deliver quality work. Very happy with the results Sincerely Nicholas P read more
