Highly recommend.

We recently completed a large-scale backyard renovation with Stones Landscaping, and are quite…read morepleased with the results. This involved pouring over 1,500 sq. ft. of concrete, a large retaining wall, a patio deck, a new lawn, and a playground area. Here were some of the highlights of my experience: - Design Guidance: I relied heavily on Baltazar's experience and keen sense of design. His elegant hardscaping solution for the pool transition zones exceeded my expectations and tied the yard together perfectly. - The grading and drainage were very well done. Despite heavy rains, there was zero pooling; the rain gutters were routed directly into pipes beneath the concrete for a clean, streamlined look. - Smart Home Integration: All landscape lighting and irrigation were hooked up to smart-home enabled controllers for total automation and convenience. - The office staff was very responsive, addressing any concerns or follow-up questions usually within a single business day. Props to Gladys and Dahlia! Highly recommended!

In our home improvement projects, landscaping our front yard was one of the nine projects we…read moreundertook. Throughout these projects, we sought God's wisdom, guidance, and most importantly, provision. We received three bids for each project, contacting them via phone. Most of them were easy to work with and accommodating, but one company stood out. I contacted this company, just like I did with the others, explaining that we needed to finish our front yard because my husband couldn't do it now due to health reasons. Before they even arrived, they demanded measurements and photos of our front yard. I'm not the best at measuring, but I did my best, considering I'm a full-time caregiver. I explained my situation to them, but they were very business-minded and lacked empathy. I complied with their requests and was surprised when Miguel, the owner, made an appointment to come out to our property. I already knew they wouldn't be a company we'd be interested in hiring, but in life, we need to be fair. Manuel arrived and was courteous. I asked him how he could bid on a job before he could actually access it and see what was required. He replied that he'd been doing this for a long time. Upon his departure, I noticed him measuring our property. I couldn't help but wonder why he needed to measure when he had already given us the price for the job. All the contractors bid on both the front and back yards. However, when we decided to postpone the backyard project and focus solely on the front yard, I contacted Stone Landscaping. The lady informed me that this change would increase the front yard price by 10% since the backyard was no longer included in the original quote. I was genuinely surprised and disappointed, as I sensed that this company lacked integrity and professionalism. Determined to find a dependable and honest landscaping company, I reached out to D&I Landscaping. I explained our decision to focus on the front yard and inquired about the cost. To my delight, they simply adjusted the price by removing the backyard, without any extra charges for the revision. This was a refreshing change, as D&I Landscaping demonstrated transparency and honesty. Life teaches us valuable lessons. While I don't intend to criticize others, I felt compelled to share my honest review of D&I Landscaping. If you're looking for a trustworthy and reliable landscaping company that offers high-quality work and uses quality materials, look no further than Irwin at D&I Landscaping. His company is dedicated to providing excellent service, listening to your needs, and showing genuine care and compassion.

I've worked with Daniel a few times now, but I want to write about the first time he worked on our…read morebackyard last summer. We just moved into a new space and the backyard was really out of control and we didn't know where to start. When I say out of control, I mean it all looked like one big bush, you couldn't tell where one plant began and ended. Daniel came in to the rescue and finessed his way through the shrubs to unveil the plants beneath. We had a garden again. I want to point out that there are two ways you can cut, aggressively or thoughtfully. Daniel cuts thoughtfully, tracing through each branch and each vine to ensure the best outcome for every plant. Lastly, I want to mention how easy it was talking with Daniel. He gave us advice on how to maintain the garden, was gracious with his time, and there was no up-selling or pressure. Also, he only uses organic products such as neem oil to help protect freshly cut branches. I highly recommend working with Daniel if you want someone who will not only do a great job, but will work on each plant as its own specialist, only cutting what's needed and pruning at the optimal time for each plant in your garden. If this all sounds good to you, give him a call, see your garden transform and have your flowers blossom like never before.

Update: we no longer work with Daniel. Although his work is of high quality, we ultimately could…read morenot see eye to eye. Most of my previous review is still accurate, but I don't think he is easy to work with or particularly kind. Daniel has a very specific issue with dog waste, and we have a dog - though he has been touchy about other subjects as well. We talked about this matter prior to signing the contract and agreed that we would clean up after our dog before he arrived. This later turned into a nightmare, as we ended up stressing more over whether or not the yard was completely poop free than we did about caring for our plants and garden. One day, he arrived on a day that we had taken pains to clean up prior to his arrival. Unbeknownst to us, our dog had "gone" outside MINUTES before his arrival, and Daniel blundered foot first into fresh doodoo lying in plain sight on the brickwork. He went ballistic, raising his voice and swearing at me, threatening to tear up the contract and lecturing me for this minor transgression. At that point, we apologized and promised to be more careful about cleaning up after our pet prior to his arrival. It was fine for a while, until a second incident many months later. On that other occasion, Daniel arrived on a day when we were not expecting him and had not cleaned up prior to his visit. I later noticed his arrival on the doorbell camera history logs, though I was away for work at the time he showed up. He had taken one look at our backyard and left without saying anything or contacting me in any way. I called him to explain that we didn't know he would be coming that day and to apologize for the presence of excrement in the yard. Daniel berated me over the phone and finally said, and I quote, "I don't want to play with you guys anymore." That was the end of our use of his services. In conclusion, you can work with Daniel at your own risk. I feel compelled to withdraw my recommendation based on the interactions that I have had with him, but I remain impressed, at least, with the quality of his work. The mental energy expended on this business relationship does not seem worth it to me in hindsight, and it's probably for the best that we parted ways.
