We are so pleased with our experience! We were installing a pool in our backyard and needed the Landscape Company's help with all things around the pool. They worked seemlessly with the contracted pool company to get the job done on time! I never felt stuck in the middle or had trouble coordinating the two, they just handled it! every single member of the crew was respectful and a pleasure to have on our property. they offered weekly meetings throughout the project if we needed to discuss things and were very responsive when we reached out 100/10 experience! read more

Great crew, especially Cesar the superintendent. We had our pool removed and they were in and out in a week. We are thrilled with our sparkling clean back yard. read more

From the initial phone call inquire about their services and to get a quote, to the final walk through, Cori and the team at The Landscape Company were quick to return phone calls, provide insight into the whole pool demo and landscaping process. She was very professional and easy to work with. She created a design that both took into account my overall vision and need, as well as, being aware that we had a budget. Cesar and his demo team were very skilled, and knowledgeable, and communicated regularly on work progress. I would highly recommend The Landscaping Company if you're thinking of demolishing your pool and creating a new out door space. read more

Ken, Erin, Bear, and Alonso were a wonderful team to work with! My husband and I used them to finish our 3-year backyard project. We did a lot of elements ourselves, which is why it took so long, including the deck and concrete grid, but we needed some professionals to come in and do the leveling, weed fabric, mulch, river rock, and decomposed granite. I was so impressed with Erin and Ken during our consultation. They spent an hour with us and sketched up the design we'd discussed right there on the spot. We had a few problem areas and needed to address some drainage and they were quick to listen to our concerns and collaborate on solutions. Definitely the most productive consultation I've ever had with a landscaping contractor! The whole project was done in 6 days, in 95+ degree weather! There were a few small design elements that didn't get communicated to the crew as they were working, but they were quickly addressed and rectified when we alerted the project manager and crew manager. Once the project was finished, Ken came and did a final walkthrough and we created a list of small fixes that were completed that same day. It's been about 2 months now and things are holding up really well. We are very happy! read more

Home Owner Beware: It's important to note that you are not hiring The Landscape Company themselves to do your job. They are simply acting as a largely incompetent intermediary mark up to the cost of your project; the work will be done by one of their 'contract partners.' You'd be better off hiring your own landscape architect (who is far better at communicating and paying attention than theirs) and bidding out your work to far more capable people. Lack of communication both with us as homeowners and within The Landscape Company abounded with our project and never improved. We fielded numerous urgent emails, calls and texts from TLC staff and their contract partner to discuss issues that had already been decided and put into the project plans. It was never communicated to us what was happening with the project from one step to the next. The WhatsApp group text in which we were included was a complete waste of time with no positive usefulness whatsoever. We were constantly repeating ourselves to people who were never paying attention from the beginning. Lack of proper onsite supervision of labor led to unnecessary damage to our property including damage to our new stucco, gouges to our driveway, crushing new downspouts, loss of personal property, and severing of a utility cable. Mike 'Bear' Baranowski is the project manager for TLC, and deserves his own paragraph. Whatever skills Bear allegedly possesses as a project coordinator are far eclipsed by his disrespectful attitude toward clients and his complete disregard of customer service and interaction. With each concern expressed to Bear, we were told that we just didn't understand: Why the plants they ordered were dying in their pots still not having been planted 2 weeks after delivery... Why the project wasn't really taking that long and that completion date promises from other staff should never have been made... Why the constant change orders due to the improper measurements taken by TLC's designer weren't his[Bear's] problem... When concern was expressed about availability of materials ordered at the last minute it was a sudden shock that they weren't available because they were "always available before." Bear always had a finger to point towards the TLC's contract partner or another method of deflection. Not once did Bear validate our concerns as homeowners and customers. He wasn't concerned that we weren't satisfied with the results when he came to pronounce the project complete; not even willing to engage in dialogue when I pointed out damages that had been done by the crew that day. Bear seemed content to leave us shoveling a small bit of leftover mulch to try and cover bare spots left on our back hillside and pondering what we were going to do with our improperly installed "stairway to nowhere." As our dissatisfaction mounted during the project, I was sincerely encouraged when I contacted the owner of TLC: He listened to what I had to say and promised that the issues we were experiencing would improve. I was looking forward to the experience changing for the better. It did not. I sincerely believe in allowing a business the opportunity to make things right by a customer. Unfortunately, The Landscape Company and its team members demonstrated via their actions and behavior that they are not only unworthy of my trust in allowing such an opportunity, they lack the ability to do so in the first place. This is not a decision I take lightly. Due to the incessant lack of communication, lack of onsite supervision, dismissal of ongoing concerns, disrespect of my wife, myself, and our time exhibited during our project, I find myself with no viable alternative other than to leave this review as a warning to others. read more

We had a backyard pool removed and totally transformed the backyard thanks to Billy and Ken from The Landscape Company. We had our pool filled in by their other company, San Diego Pool Demo (aka James Construction), and were so impressed by that company's professional team that we wanted to work with their affiliate, The Landscape Company. As you can see from the photos, the job they did was phenomenal! Every step of the way was easy from start to finish. They made good on every promise made in their contract. After the project was completed, they did not disappear. Any time we had questions, they were just as receptive after the job as before. That is very important when deciding who you will choose to complete your job. We interviewed many companies before interviewing TLC, and we saved the best for last because no others compared in either price or promises. We spend so much time in our backyard now marveling in its beauty. Thank you so much TLC! read more

The Landscape Company and its owners are one of the most honest and high quality companies. I've seen in a long time.. I have worked alongside of this company on multiple jobs and have seen the professionalism and final product. I do not know if you could rate higher than a 10 but I would give it a 20 out of 10.! if anyone is looking for a facelift on their home or business these guys are the ones to call to get you looking like a brand new place read more

We just completed an extensive renovation of our backyard, which included a pool removal to create more outdoor living space and simplicity. After living in this house for more than 30 years, our backyard was conformed into a resort-style living space, which includes an octagon-shaped raised deck, bar and kitchen area, raised vegetable beds, a covered dining area and many environment-friendly plants, trees and various foliage. Words that describe working with Ken and Rob are communicative, professional, responsive, hard-working, thoughtful, solution-driven, visionary, extraordinary customer service, generous, and incredibly easy to work with. In this day and age where customer service is typically not where it should be, these gentlemen surpassed our expectations. We highly recommend The Landscape Company! read more

The landscape company did an amazing job. Every member of the team - Rob, Ken, Mike and Gustavo were all very nice, efficient and communicated well. We got their quote to do the pavers and a fence around the pool, they started the very next day, and the job was finished within 2 weeks. It was done well ahead of schedule even after I made some changes to the plans mid project. Great prices, very accommodating, fast service and quality work. I would highly recommend them and would use them for my next landscaping job. read more

It is really difficult to find reliable contracting companies. It is hard to even have someone show up to do a quote. TLC has a good sized team and they were very punctual. We did not have any gaps in the work and as soon as I brought something to their attention, they resolved it. They stood behind their work and followed up helping learn how to do the sprinklers and we did 2 different walk throughs to make sure I was happy. If you want to make sure you have a professional work and you have someone prompt and reliable, hire The Landscape Company. read more

I highly recommend The Landscape Company! They are some of the easiest people to work with. Very responsive, fair and they went out of their way to meet our requests. We provided them with a landscape drawing from our landscape architect who we hired prior. At the time we didn't realize we had so many plants of the same kind. We only realized our mistake when the plants were delivered to our property. They leveraged their work relationship with their supplier and cut the restocking fee to almost nothing! We were able to replace the plants. They are trust worthy. They installed some pavers that their Super instructed to tear down and reinstall because he thought the drainage underneath was installed incorrectly. This showed their integrity. Everyone involved in our project from the management to on site worker was highly professional in all our dealings. As with any project there can be misunderstandings and learning experiences on both sides. Each and every change in our plans or point of confusion was dealt with and resolved immediately. We were kept well informed at each phase of the work and were always provided with an updated schedule. There were minimal change orders due to some scope we decided to add while the work was in progress. All financial matters were 100% transparent. There were no hidden or undisclosed costs. Their system of using WhatsApp as well as frequent emails made communication completely seamless and headache free. Quality work, done in a reasonable amount of time and they're not gonna rip you off. read more

Ken came out to meet with us to go over our wish list and even gave us some great suggestions. We needed concrete decks and pavers to be put around our new pool and a gazebo pad. He was very quick in getting us the quotes. It was a little higher than other places but in hindsight you definitely get what you pay for. Workers were always very polite, helpful and worked hard. Our pool builder even ended up using them to do the coping around our pool and am so glad they did. I think from start to finish it all took a month. Truly couldn't be happier. Once the pool and surrounding landscaping are done I will add updated pics but here are some to give you an idea. read more

Thank you The Landscape Company for an amazing job on my new front yard! I had been wanting to revamp my front yard including the driveway but frankly the undertaking felt a bit daunting. Fortunately, the team at TLC made the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible. At the initial consultation, I had a vague idea of what I wanted (replacing driveway, adding retaining walls, creating planters, adding pathways and lights, etc). Cori and Ken spent over 40 minutes at the consultation carefully listening to my ideas while providing their insights. Their years of experience were readily apparent. I also got quotes from 3 other companies and while the quoted prices were comparable, I chose to go with TLC because I felt they were most committed to working closely with me to create the best yard possible. I had several more discussions with Cori and designers at the company to map out the project. By the time the project was scheduled to begin, we had a clear detailed plan of what the yard would look like. The construction lasted about 3 weeks and went according to schedule. The crew was well organized, had set goals for each day, and left the work area tidy at the end of every afternoon. Communication was easy. Whenever they had any questions about what I wanted, they would ask me directly. At times when I wanted something done in a certain way I would just tell Gustavo (who headed the crew) or one of the crew members. For example, I wanted one of the planter borders moved a few inches and another time I wanted the steps placed at a certain interval. I was probably more particular than most customers but I never got any pushback of any form. It was always "okay no problem". As with any sizable project, there were a few hiccups. But, I think it's worth noting how professional the company was in responding to these issues. For instance, there were supposed to be four of the same plant within one of the planters. However, the nursery they were sourcing the plants from only had three available. The coordinator, Mike, called other nurseries until he found one that had the plant and then drove over an hour just to get that single fourth plant. In another case, I noticed that a few of the plants did not take well to being transplanted and were fading. TLC replaced them without hesitation. What a customer-oriented business philosophy! In the end, I got a front yard that exceeded my expectations and is beyond what I had initially envisioned. I recommend The Landscape Company and encourage anyone thinking of starting a project to reach out to them to see what they can do for you. As a side note, The Landscape Company works with contractors for the construction and installation aspects of the projects. I had no problem with this and believe it's pretty much the norm for the industry, maybe due to logistical factors. I think there are some misconceptions and many people take the use of contractors to be a negative. But I think in some ways it's a positive. For one, TLC has longstanding relations with the contractors, which must be for good reason. TLC oversees the project throughout, so it's not like "okay see you when it's all done". Quite the opposite - there were regular check-ins, and anytime I had questions/concerns I could voice them to anyone involved, whether they be TLC employee or contractor. I also think it adds a second layer of accountability. If a customer were to hire a contractor directly, the relationship between the customer and the contractor would end as soon as the work was completed and the money was paid. But for contractors who work with companies like TLC, those contractors have extra incentive to do quality work and to be accountable for that work because they have that longstanding relationship to maintain. read more

10 STARS!!! We can't say enough wonderful things about Kenny and The Landscape Company. If you're in the market for a landscaper and/or hardscaper HIRE THEM NOW!!! They not only helped plan and implement the landscaping process, but they also installed the hardscape around our new pool. The project was originally estimated to take 4-6 weeks, but based on the many changes we made along the way it ended up taking about 12 weeks. The Landscape Company was flexible and very patient given that we are perfectionists (and probably very annoying) and made many changes to the original plan. They took all our changes in stride, and never skipped a beat. The crew was always punctual, showing up at 7AM on the dot every morning, and not to mention their craftsmanship was absolutely phenomenal. We had a lot of flagstone work where each piece had to be hand-cut and pieced together like a puzzle, and the finished product is absolute perfection. Kenny has also been very gracious to assist even past project completion, helping answer questions regarding landscaping, lawn care, etc. We are so grateful to have found Kenny & The Landscape Company to make our vision come to life. Thank you Kenny & Team. You guys are truly THE BEST. read more

We have recently completed a very lengthy pool / backyard project. For those who have been through an in-ground pool installation before knows the headache this can be......and that process lived up to its head-aching status believe me. When it came time to move forward with landscaping, we were first referred to another Company- and that company completely ignored my calls and messages so I went back to our pool contractor and asked for another referral. Enter Ken & The Landscape Company! Ken was awesome from the jump. Easy to talk to, he shared his opinions and helped us create a vision for what we wanted our yard to look like when it was all said and done. He came out multiple times to help us with our irrigation system at no charge and he worked with our concrete contractor to help coordinate everything prior to his job beginning. We picked out the plants we wanted and within a couple of days, BOOM! Truck loads full of trees, bushes, flowers and plants galore were in our yard. His team was fast and got down to business quickly and within a couple of days we had the finishing touches on our dream yard. We also decided to go with the new state of the art wifi-controlled LED lights and although extremely expensive, we're really glad that we did. All in all, we couldn't be happier - and the few things that weren't perfect, were addressed and rectified promptly. read more

Ken, Billy, and the rest of the TLC team helped us completely transform our front & backyard. They guided us through every phase of the project: grading/dirt removal, drainage, concrete driveway & paths, stucco walls, patio pavers, and finally irrigation/planting. Ken is extremely knowledgeable in all things landscaping, and he helped us design, plan, and manage every aspect of the project down to the detailed calculation of the slope of our new driveway. He answered every question and accommodated changes to the design mid-project. Billy and his outstanding customer service helped get us over the finish line, and we are extremely happy with the end product. There were a few plants which did not survive, and TLC quickly honored their warranty and replaced them free of charge. I would highly recommend TLC for any landscaping project, large or small. read more

The Landscape Company helped us transform our 1980's backyard into an amazing resort-like space in summer 2020! Felipe, Billy, Ken, Bear, Cori, and their broader team, were amazing from start to finish. I think the thing we appreciated most is how they were able to take what was in our heads and make it come to life, while also guiding us when our ideas were actually pretty terrible. We repaved and retiled our pool, took out old concrete and put in pavers, built a fire pit, put in new landscaping/grass, moved trees, put in a lighting system, and built a pergola. They also put in an extensive drainage system, which we desperately needed since our yard kept flooding any time it rained (turns out we had some very clogged and old pipes). They have been very responsive even after project completion as things come up, like they tend to do. Also, porcelain pavers are awesome! read more

I am please to report and very good experience with this company. The owner provides very detailed proposals and leaves nothing to interpret. This is one of those straight up companies that covers all the questions and provides insight at each decision. In some cases, multiple visits occur to iron out the fine details. No cut corners and no hidden costs or agenda's. Yes, I would do business with this company and highly recommend you give them a try. read more

TLC is a great company and has done a great job at my house. They give a fair quote and work very hard.

Very reasonably priced and everyone on their team was responsive and professional throughout the entire project. read more

I had my swimmimg pool removed in 2018 by The Landscape Company/San Diego Pool Removal Company. Their work was beyond excellent. I wanted the attached spa to be left intact, and I wanted the brick edging around the pool to be left intact since I wanted to make a garden where the pool was. The spa was not even scratched and not one edge brick was chipped. The work was fabulous and fast. All work was completed in 4 days once the permitting process was done. The crew was hard working and polite. They cleaned up at the end of each day, so my yard and driveway were never messy. Below are some pictures of the project. Sincerely, Mike F. read more

I saw a recent negative review but contacted them regardless via their website contact request. No response.

After removing my pool, The Landscape Company put in a stone wall that retains my garden around most of the back yard perimeter, stained the existing patio slab and sidewalk, laid a backyard of mostly pavers and some artificial grass. Great job! Back yard is low maintenance, and way more useful than the pool ever was. Again, I highly recommend this company. read more

We have owned our house in Mira mesa since 1988. Through those years we have done many remodeling projects however never to our front yard. We contacted about 5 landscaping companies for estimates. TLC sent Ken out to discuss our thoughts and provide an estimate. After that meeting we knew we would trust Ken and the TLC team to take on the job. After Ken got things rolling the job was handed of "Bear" as the project manager and the real work was completed by Javier and his team. We were involved during the entire process no steps were taken before we signed off on what was being done to ensure we got what we wanted. We are glad we did and now have our beautiful front yard to enjoy for years to come. We are thinking about having them out again to remodel some of our backyard landscaping. read more

I am so pleased with the work we had done. The TLC team were always in communication with us from the bid to the final walkthrough. They even had no trouble pivoting along the way to make some changes to the contract/work done. While TLC doesn't actually do the work, their contract partners were outstanding. Everyone showed up on time, worked their butts off in 90 degree heat, were respectful of us and our property and always cleaned up after themselves. Rob, our salesman, was extremely helpful. He always returned phone calls/emails/texts promptly! Big shoutout to Alvaro, Bear, Billy, Ken and the rest of the team. read more

First the short and sweet version, as I know time is valuable to everyone. I recently worked with Ken of The Landscape Co. to install an Internet-based irrigation system. The project was done perfectly and I do not hesitate to recommend them. Additional details: Ken came to my home and looked over the project. He then submitted a detailed bid to me that was very fair in my estimation. Ken and his crew came out and installed the system in a timely manner and well within the budget he proposed. I was so impressed that I have asked them to come back and do some additional work. I try to find people that I trust to help me with certain aspects of my home and they have certainly been added to my list. read more

I had an outdoor fireplace converted to a pizza oven. There were several obstacles, but The Landscape Company persevered. The oven was sent with the wrong knob. Then, it turned out that the gas line had gone bad and the oven had to be converted to propane. They stuck with it and the project went quickly. The crew was very nice. Also, their approach of working with the structure that already existed saved a lot of money. Other contractors wanted to demolish the entire area. read more

If we could give The Landscape Company more than 5 stars, we would. We had our pool filled in by their other company, San Diego Pool Demo (aka James Construction), and were so impressed by that company's professional team that we wanted to work with their affiliate, The Landscape Company. The best decision ever!! Ken came out to walk the job within 2 days. He noted all of the potential issues as well as the complexity of our job and assigned his most experienced team - Andres, Arturo, and a high level electrician, and a high level plumber to tackle our project (there were lots of other hard working men too). The team started early in the morning, ended late in the afternoon but never left without cleaning up the job site. They were professional, courteous, and took pride in all aspects of their job. Ken coordinated all of the trades on our job, made sure that all product was there when it needed to be, communicated with us without being intrusive, and ran a very challenging job so smoothly. The various trades they brought in (part of their team), listened to what we wanted and made it happen. Ken and Andres worked with us to place concrete seam lines in places that would not detract from the clean lines that they had created with concrete, they placed drains in exactly the right place, they were practical and creative. Ken was so patient as we chose different stone for part of the hardscape. He had great suggestions. He was just so fantastic to work with. We love our backyard now. It is pool-less. It has beautiful hardscape, a kind of outdoor living room with a fire-pit and a pergola with an outdoor dining area. It is clean and fresh. (I will post pictures in a couple of weeks.) We developed complete trust in this team. They worked so hard and we feel that we received such great value for our investment in re-purposing our backyard. We highly recommend The Landscape Company!!! read more

I'm hereby cordially submitting this review as a humble note of appreciation to the Landscape Company in general and to Ken, Cori and Juan in particular for transforming our front yard to the oasis that we have always dreamt of having. My wife and I are so delighted to choose this company among other competitors. From the get going, Ms. Cori and Mr. Ken went above and beyond to meet our expectations. They were so professional yet very ethical. They immediately earned our respect. Thus, we made our decision to do business with them. Despite the rough start, which is normal, Juan and his team did an outstanding job. Juan explained the entire project and made sure that the outcome met our expectations. This company will grow and expand because of the talent and abilities of such professionals like Ken, Cori and Juan who constantly push for quality and productivity, and that is exactly what we received. Job very well done. I will definitely recommend the Landscape Company, and can't wait to start my next project with them. Keep up the great work!!! Sami&Moe read more

I called The Landscape Company looking for someone to refurbish the flagstone in my small condo back patio. Billy referred one of his contracting partners to me and the job was done quickly, professionally and to my complete satisfaction. A nice write-up yes, but not the reason for this post. About 2 months following the work, the surface of the flagstone started to look foggy to the point where the patio looked worse than before I hired the contractor. I called the contractor and he told me that the condition was called efflorescence caused by salts being drawn to the surface and then trapped by the protective coating they applied to the stone to give it the "wet" look. As it turns out, the problem was not efflorescence but the result of sealing the flagstone before it was fully dried. After months of trying to get the contractor to fix it (even offering to pay him to do so), I called Billy and explained the issue. Billy advised me not to pay for an error that should have not occurred in the first place since the sealer application should have been applied at a later date during the warmer months. Billy told me that his contracting partner should be held accountable for correcting this and he advised me to file a complaint with the California State Contractors Board. I followed Billy's suggestion and someone from board contacted me by phone to obtain further information. The board confirmed Billy's assertion that paying for the work to be corrected should not be required. After the call, the board sent a letter to me and the contractor to let him know there was active claim that would remain open until the repair was completed to my satisfaction. Within a couple of weeks, Billy's contracting partner called me to set up an appointment and the problem was fixed once and for all. If you're looking for a company that will stand behind their work and are accountable for correcting problems when they occur, then Billy and The Landscape Company should be your top pick. Thank you Billy! read more

The Landscape Company is the most professional contractor we have ever worked with. We needed a total re-do of our landscaping, front, back, and side yard. Ken was a pleasure to work with. He returns calls promptly and shows up when he says he will. The contract states clearly what everything costs, so there are no surprises. Ken understood immediately the look we were after, and helped us design a yard that totally met our expectations. He helped us lay out the concrete, re-did all the drainage, then helped us choose plants and laid them out so we have a yard that is water-wise but still has a green, lush look. The workers showed up on time every day, and they left the yard clean at the end of every day. I highly recommend Ken Paddock and The Landscape Company. read more
