He was able to offer creative and practical solutions for our yard and was very accommodating when we wanted to make any adjustments. They are able to handle any kind of landscaping need from design to planting trees, sod, irrigation systems, patios, pavers, you name it. And they have access to wonderful plants. When we were looking into large fern pines for our new backyard, Juan was able to send us excellent options from his contacts, much better than anything we were able to find ourselves. And, his prices are very reasonable. This is the company you want to hire!

We are very disappointed with our experience and will be looking for another gardener who fulfills what they promise, turns up and actually looks after the garden as promised. The photos of our garden show how bad it is. Hi Nicholas, thanks for replying to my review of your company.

My goal was to create a clean, attractive design with decorative stone inside the fence and gravel on the public-facing side, and Edgar executed it perfectly. Not only did he provide the most competitive quote, but the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. The finished project looks beautiful, professional, and completely transformed the curb appeal of my home. One thing that really stood out was how easy Edgar was to work with. He is responsive, communicates clearly, and is accessible by phone, text, and email, which made the entire process smooth from start to finish. His crew was professional, hardworking, and took pride in their work. If you're looking for a reliable landscaper who delivers quality results at a fair price, I highly recommend Edgar and his team. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

They helped us update our backyard by installing decomposed granite around a large tree, pouring a concrete slab, and landscaping the surrounding area. When another contractor applied the wrong stain to our fence, Julio stepped in to correct the mistake. He was patient, communicative, and worked with us to get the color right. We recently had someone from the company do some landscaping. The work was satisfactory, though the quote felt quite high. I would suggest requesting an itemized breakdown of plant costs and labor. I also asked for quotes on landscape lighting, concrete work, and ongoing plant maintenance, but never received a response, which was disappointing.

We had a sprinkler bust next to our house and we called around to a few businesses and Jonakee was…read moreone of the only responsive ones and quick to come out. They quoted us $450 for the repair, which entailed cutting off our sprinkler where it was rusted galvanized steel and replacing it with PVC pipe. This in turn ended up re routing our system, rending a large chunk of our sprinkler system useless, due to the steel not being able to be connected to the original system unless we wanted to pay for more repairs. We were quoted around the same (around $500) to connect our sprinkler system again so it would work, on top of the original repair, in which we did not move forward. At first, I was fine with a quote of $450 assuming it was going to be a complicated repair with fancy parts but when I saw the work that was done, it changed my mind. Total labor time was maybe 30 minutes and it was simply digging up where the sprinkler was broken and rerouting the pipe with about $15 worth of PVC and that was it. The gentlemen who came out were kind and helpful so I don't like to leave bad reviews however I feel like we were totally ripped off and charged way more than appropriate to the point where I feel extremely silly I didn't call around to other places and feel like we got played. And now we have a system that does not work. I would highly suggest you call around before going with these guys.

We had a particular vision for the re-landscaping of our front yard, but it posed some engineering…read morechallenges. We had a designer develop a conceptual plan, but it did not fully address the engineering issues. When we met John Arney at Helix Landscape Construction, we knew we'd found the right person and the right company for the job. Sloping below street level, our front yard posed an interesting challenge to keep rain runoff out of our sump system as much as possible. The design incorporated the concept of a rocky swale to collect runoff, but John engineered all the details to including french drains to direct runoff into the landscape to re-charge the local water table for the signature bonsai tree and other plants envisioned in the plan. Throughout the project, John took the time to understand our aesthetic for the yard, and provided advice on so many details as it took shape. He traveled with us to rock yards and specialty nurseries to help find the perfect elements. John brought both great design ideas and the technical know-how we needed to make our vision a reality. Over the course of the two weeks he spent with us, I felt he truly became our partner in the project, which made it a pleasure to work with him and his team. As for execution, John's team was efficient, conscientious and respectful of us and our neighbors. The project was completed on time, despite discovery of a massive root system left behind from a previous tree removal, and many other tweaks to the effort made along the way. We are thrilled with the results and would recommend John for any landscape project you might have.

I'm definitely the outlier here on yelp, but Helix did an extremely shameful installation for my…read moreresidential project. Nothing was done correctly. 1. irrigation: John explained he was an irrigation specialist and he declined the irrigation plan saying he would take care of the irrigation and that the price was included. He spent the first two weeks working on the irrigation, and in the end, half the grass did not survive and many of the shrubs also dried up. I ended up having to hire another contractor to re-do my irrigation who installed a completely new system tailored to the design (with new pipes, drip for shrubs, and rotor heads for the grass) in two days for less than what john charged me for one new station (that I never even authorized). 2. Lawn: new ground cover did not come in and the old grass and shrubs are popping up all over the place, despite me paying for demo of the original lawn and landscaping. I was also there when he instructed his team to spray round-up on the yard AFTER seeding and planting, so those shrubs died and the lawn either didn't grow in or died. John tried to attribute the dead shrubs to the heavy rain. 4. Very poor shrub quality: he accepted poor/dying plant material, and also let it sit for two weeks before installing, and he actually installed dead plant material, then made me walk around and make a map or install flags where replacements were needed. 5. Shrub installation: shrubs weren't placed per the design, and he also made me go around and map out the mistakes. 6. Hardscape installation - he installed stepping stones 2 inches above grade and planting boxes very unlevel/lop sided. I did get other quotes, but took this one based on recommendations. I do not recommend Helix.
