Argel and his crew were super professional and got the entire job done in great time! It looks great! High quality product! No hassle. No fuss. No perpetual renegotiation that I've experienced with other contractors. Just plain ol' honest, high quality work from start to finish! I highly recommend Outscape Concrete & Landscape!

We tried to schedule a 60 minute consultation with Matt with the intent of gauging whether we…read moreshould engage his full design service. We ran into some difficulties at the start due to a last-minute cancellation by Matt and some unresponsiveness through email. When we voiced our concerns, Matt really stepped up to ensure our concerns were met. He immediately refunded us for the cost of the service, and he offered to meet with us at no cost. We ended up taking a 30 minute video chat with him, and Matt was super helpful in explaining various options. When we realized that his typical project scope was a bit bigger than what we wanted to spend, Matt was very gracious in connecting us with other contractors and designers. Despite the early hiccups, we got the sense that Matt is a genuine guy who is more interested in doing the right thing rather than making quick buck. We really appreciate his thoughtfulness, and we will definitely consider engaging with his services again in the future!

We did a 75 minute Virtual Design consultation with Matt at Water and Earth earlier this year. Our…read morebackyard project wasn't quite large enough in size or scope for his full in-person design services. The virtual call was perfect for our project, we provided Matt with pictures of the backyard space as well as a video walkthrough. He took this information as well as our preferences for how we envisioned the space to be used to come up with a 2D design. He also recommended materials and local contractors. We contacted one of the contractors a few weeks later and finished the project with them in about 2 months. I highly recommend the Virtual Consultation for smaller projects with Matt. His feedback for our questions and experience with similar projects were very beneficial to starting this backyard project for us.

We met Chris Houle through our landscape designer on a complex remodel of our front yard. From the…read moreinitial meeting until the project's completion, Chris went out of his way to ensure that the right choices were made and the work was done to our satisfaction. His crew showed up on time each day they were scheduled, and either Chris or his foreman checked in to let us know what was happening. They always made a conscious effort to leave the job (our front yard) in a clean and safe condition. The project was completed on time and budget. We found Chris and his crew enjoyable to work with and would definitely hire them again.

We chose Houle L & M because Chris had experience, knowledge of plants, passion for what he does,…read moreand genuine enthusiasm for our project. Other landscapers just didn't seem as excited about what they were doing. We completely updated our front and backyard, including removing several trees and plants, installing two patios, and adding two large veggie beds and all new plants. We are thrilled with the outcome and are confident it would not have come out as well had we chosen another landscape company. Chris is very knowledgeable about plants and was very willing and enthusiastic to help us realize our vision. There were times when we felt overwhelmed with all the decisions. Chris walked us through options and was so helpful in reassuring during the decision process. He was very patient with our changes to the plan and went above and beyond to bring our vision into reality. His team was always on time, they worked hard, and cleaned things up before they left each day. His foreman was also very knowledgeable, had great ideas, and was easy to work with. Everyone was very professional. As time consuming as the project was and despite how overwhelmed we felt at times, we were kind of sad when it was over. I enjoyed brainstorming ideas with Chris and working with him. He is a great guy. We really enjoy spending time in our new yard. I look around and feel so happy about how beautiful everything looks. We highly recommend Houle L & M for your next landscaping project. You won't regret it!

Long overdue review…read more After I completed my retaining wall in our backyard, it was time to move onto finishing the yard with full pavers and artificial turf. I met with a few different contractors, and after meeting Jose and his team, I went with Simancas Landscaping and was very happy with the decision. I actually created the plan myself for the backyard, and reviewed it with Jose and it came out exactly as I had hoped! I did all the landscaping myself, but I am sure that his team could've also done that as well. We also decided to pave over our concrete California Room to make everything cohesive, and the finished product came out better than expected. Jose was very communicative throughout the project, and when problems arose, we worked together to move past them. I would definitely recommend Simancas for paver and artificial turf installation!

It was a pleasure to work with Jose and his team. I consulted with two other landscapers prior to…read morechoosing Simancas Landscaping and I'm extremely happy with our decision and end result. Pros: 1. Most reasonably priced for good, quality work. Jose is very fair with his quotes and any potential adjustments. 2. Your satisfaction is Jose's #1 priority. Throughout the project, at each milestone step, he consults with you to gauge satisfaction and discuss next steps. Plans may alter accordingly but you are informed throughout the process. 3. Easy to contact. I've worked with contractors and landscapers in the past that do not readily respond. Jose always answers my call and/or at least returns my call by end of day. Con: (and I'm only writing one because I don't trust reviews that have nothing but good things to say) 1. If you're sticking to a tight schedule or deadline, let the team know that upfront. Working on home improvements oftentimes results in delayed timelines. My experience was not any different this time around, but Jose would always explain the reasoning and was extremely fair. This "con," however is minor when we consider how happy we are with the finished product of our backyard. Highly recommend Simancas Landscaping. Check out our before and after pics!

We had several sessions with her, and each time, the plans evolved into something we never thought could be as magnificent as it is. We worked with Brum Landscaping Design and Outscape Landscapers to make her plans a reality, and we're overwhelmed with joy. Each time we are out enjoying our new patio (dinners al fresco, neighborhood parties, etc.) people walking by shower us with complements. People have actually parked their cars and walked up to us to compliment the great design. Side note: My wife deserves the credit for hiring her in the first place. My idea was to throw down some plants and put in my own pavers for a patio. WOW! Was I wrong. :-) Love you, Sweet Potato. Charlene offered multiple design plans for us to pick and choose from, provided realistic YouTube video walkthroughs which really gave us that "wow, this is our house?" feeling, quickly worked on any edits we came up with, responded quickly to questions, and OMG! We couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you, Charlene for transforming several sheets of scratch paper into this magnificent Entry Way to our neighborhood.

They played dumb and refused any responsibility. I regret ever letting them work on my home and landscape. I should have asked to see drivers license and insurance from them.

Luke and his team were an absolute delight to work with! Luke was patient with us from beginning to…read moreend, especially in the beginning. We kept throwing around our ideas and the overall look we were going with to help narrow down a design that would make our vision into a reality and was on the same page as us on trying to "break the mold" from the same design the rest of the neighborhood had. He was great at keeping the budget in mind as best as possible. He was also patient with any mundane questions we had :) He accommodated every (possible) big and small change we made throughout the process. Scope of work was front and backyards. The project did go into some forecasted rainy and windy days that kept blowing away some tarps over the dirt that was waiting to get taken away. Luke was also very responsive and would take my calls/texts almost immediately. So when I had texted him that very windy morning a picture of the tarp being in such disarray, and me more worried that the tarp would end up in someone else's yard or worse, on someone's car while driving, I was not expecting Luke to personally come all the way up here (completely out of his way AND on a weekend) to help weigh the tarp back down! I don't think I've met any tradesperson willing to do that! He was also very mindful in not wasting materials if he could help it. We up-cycled some materials that were taken from the old yard's design and incorporated it into the new design. We also had some leftover pavers that we will now save for a future project with Luke. Even with some weather delays and holidays, the project was done in between 4-6 weeks. Luke's on-site team was also great, and had already made some new connections with my surrounding neighbors (my neighbors even brought them lunch while they were working on my yards!). They're looking to do business with Perry's Landscape Design in the very near future! I look forward to working with Luke again for future projects and highly recommend the business!
