I recently hired C&J Landscape Service to replace my backyard drainage system after the existing…read moredrain, which was nearly 28 years old, stopped functioning properly. From the beginning, Cris was professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. He returned my call promptly and came out within a few days to provide an estimate. He took the time to thoroughly inspect the problem, explain the recommended solution, and answer all of my questions. The proposal was detailed, easy to understand, and very reasonably priced. After obtaining several estimates, I found C&J's proposal to be both the most thorough and the most competitive. Throughout the project, Cris kept me informed of the progress and maintained excellent communication. His crew was professional, hardworking, and took extra care when excavating around existing solar plumbing and sprinkler lines. It was clear they took pride in their work and paid attention to the details. Most importantly, Cris went above and beyond to ensure the drainage system was installed correctly and that I was completely satisfied with the finished product. The quality of the workmanship exceeded my expectations, and the entire experience was positive from start to finish. I highly recommend C&J Landscape Service to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled landscaping contractor

I haven't done any maintenance on it and it is crusted with mineral deposits and small pinpoint holes in the cement. I traveled 1 1/2 hrs. to Escalon to seek out help for maintenance and questions about sealing it. The man behind the counter was really rude to me and just kept saying (about 5 times) that they were a cement contractor company and said their cement had a sealant in it and it didn't look like it was crumbling to him. He said to use a dish cleaning brush on it. REALLY!!!! He needs to do some homework and learn some manners. Won't ever be back.

Exceptional Service & Genuine Kindness - Richard is the Real Deal!…read more I recently needed 5 sprinkler valves replaced at my house and Richard from Schmid Landscaping went above and beyond in every possible way. After his normal business hours, he still made time to come over and help me out. Not only did he order the parts for me at a deep discount, but instead of just knocking the job out himself, he patiently walked me through the entire process step by step. He showed me exactly how to do it so I could handle it myself should the need ever come up in the future. What really stood out, though, was what a genuinely kind and sincere person he is. From my brief interaction with him, he seems to be a true family man. He lit up talking about his kids and how important it is to him to put them through good schools and give them the best opportunity in life he can. He shared how truly blessed he feels being able to help others through his landscaping business, and how that allows him to take care of his family in return. You could tell that warmth and gratitude just radiated from him. On top of being an outstanding landscaper and irrigation expert, he's the kind of guy you instantly feel like you've known for years. I'd recommend Richard to anyone...family, friends, neighbors....based purely on his character alone, and his top-notch work is just the cherry on top. He also mentioned to me that he gives all service members an amazing deal because he's especially grateful for their service! Another thing that blew me away, Richard did not gouge me for price or labor to install the valves and actually taught me how to do it. He did everything he could to save an already struggling homeowner who's had to deal with multiple other expensive repairs recently. He didn't try to rip me off or take advantage by overcharging me...he truly had my best interest at heart. It felt honest and fair in a way that's becoming harder to find. If you need landscaping or irrigation work done (or just want to work with someone who actually cares), call Schmid Landscaping and ask for Richard. Thank you again for your time Richard! You made my day and further restored my faith in great customer service. Highly, highly recommended.

He came out for the free estimate. He was on time and professional. We decided to not move forward with the pond and asked for a quote for the existing removal and re-pavement of our uneven cement area. We went back and forth quite a bit in regards to details. He was very accommodating and squeezed us into his tight schedule. In the end, we did not move forward with James, NOT because of his work quality or ethic, but because we as a customer were extremely difficult to work with. We were too indecisive on many personal factors. James was professional from start to finish. He was responsive and accommodating. He provided many videos to support his work and all of his completed jobs looked amazing! It is a shame that we did not move forward with him. Though he did not do our landscaping, I would still highly recommend him.
