Every single question I had was answered to my satisfaction. We love spending time in our backyard now. This is due to the attention to design and overall aesthetic that they put into each project. I am a high maintenance customer due to my OCD nature. One of the things we found very comforting with the whole process was the fact that the same person (Dave)who came out to assess the project and quoted us on our price was the same person who built and supervised and finished and services the pool. It's a full circle perfect experience! Love!

What stood out even more was their patience and professionalism when unexpected situations came up. Instead of cutting corners, they handled everything calmly and made sure the final outcome was perfect. The design TJ created is modern, unique, and completely transformed the space into something special. The 3D rendering was EXACTLY what they delivered. If you're looking for a team that combines skill, creativity, and reliability, Element Pools is the way to go. TJ and Kyle were there along the way to answer any questions that came up (and we had a lot of them). Element Pools gave us a yard that will be filled with memories for years to come!

I…read morewas looking for a company that could do it all, decking, landscaping and build/ install and pool and spa. I sent a message via Yelp and someone called me to set up an appointment. We had TJ come out to meet with us and get an idea of what we had in mind for our backyard space and he took some measurements. We met with him again and he showed us a 3D image of what he designed for us. That 3D design came out way better than expected so we decided to proceed. They are very transparent with you and always try their best to answer any and all questions the customer has. They also have financing options which is great. We also had some custom decals done for our pool which was super nice. We are very pleased with our final product and will always recommend this company to anyone who wants to get their yard improved. I highly recommend this company if you're thinking about yard construction done.

From start to finish, Steve was very communicative and quick to respond when any questions came up. Big projects like this, especially involving design work, can be a pain. One of our concerns when vetting landscapers was being able to work directly with the same person from start to finish. Steve was there throughout the project and really took the time to understand what we wanted and adjust things as needed which really made us feel comfortable at every step of the process. He had fantastic design ideas that we would have never thought of and we are so pleased with the look. The pricing was reasonable compared to other quotes we received and we always felt Steve gave us all options from highest quality to most cost effective so we could make the best decision for us on materials. They really just provided great guidance and advice on the design and materials and we felt we were in good hands the entire time. They're clearly a company that has years of experience and it shows. Highly recommend!

I had a custom desert-style vision in mind and Mike and his crew delivered while being patient and professional throughout the process. A large project with big ornamental plants naturally brings some challenges, but all issues were addressed and made right in the end. Irrigation was installed to the plants and spacing was done well for a symmetrical, automated setup. The largest tree, a Mediterranean fan palm in a 30" box, was installed expertly - showing they can handle heavy, mature trees as well. Re-Leaf wasn't the cheapest option, but I chose them based on reviews and the experience that was clear during the initial consultation. The end result matches my vision and has made maintenance far easier. Thank you to Mike, Juan, and the team for bringing it to life.

Our journey with the Ruff and Ready family began in 2024. We had wanted to put concrete in our…read morebackyard but unfortunately, our funds had to be diverted to replace our AC. Fast forward almost two years later, we were ready to put the concrete in our yard. When I contacted Ruff & Ready, they had our photos, previous quote, and hand written notes still in their portal. I surely wasn't expecting this. Jeff came out to measure the new spot and confirm the scope of work. He was efficient, flexible with his timing, and arrived in the window given. Jeff's quote was not the most expensive nor was it the cheapest. What made us choose Ruff & Ready you ask? Jeff spoke as if what he said would actually happen. And that's how it went! He was transparent, honest, and didn't fluff anything. He got us a quote for the updated work within 24 hours. His office assistant Vanessa answered all our questions and walked us through the timeline of the whole thing, from start to finish, from signing our contract to paying the deposit to when we would begin work to how to pay the remaining balance. Vanessa answered text messages promptly and also answered the phone. No elevator music on the other line, no 'all of our representatives are busy' garbage. The crew who came out was incredible. They were respectful. They didn't blast music or leave trash. They were thorough and adhered to the timeline given. They closed the gate and ensured it was locked each day, which matters to me as a mom with littles. They parked in the street and moved when I needed to get into my garage. We used Ruff & Ready as a test as our current gardener will be relocating soon. We could not be happier with our experience and plan to use them for future backyard projects. Thank you Vanessa, Jeff, and the Ruff and Ready team!

Best experience possible with Ruff and Ready!…read more Beginning to end, Ruff & Ready gave my family a good price, a low-stress experience, and results better than we expected! We selected Ruff & Ready to do the biggest changes to our raw backyard, wanting to leave some parts for us to do on our own later planter boxes, slope, etc.). Jeff and his team handled: - Gas line to BBQ and fire pit (for us to build/install later) - Redo of our entire irrigation, including a mix of drip, tree bubblers, above-ground sprinklers, and stub-ups for our planter boxes later - Redo of our drainage to ensure good water management on whole property, including accommodating gutters for later - Concrete walkway with raised curb on the side connecting to driveway - Artificial turf for remainder of the yard - Replacing paver deck edging QUOTE: I, at first, thought the quote came in a little high, then I realized that the other half-dozen companies didn't list everything I requested in their quotes, and once pressed, the competing quotes all came up to Ruff's price. Ruff & Ready was the ONLY one that listened to everything I said, didn't pressure me to change what we wanted, and was honest from the start without looking to "change order" everything later. Honest, competitive pricing. TEAM: The team showed up and got to work immediately. They got so much done so fast. It was the same crew every day of the project. The workers, the supervisor, the customer service by phone/email, were all so amazing. Constantly nice and friendly. I had so many questions, and they were patient with me in addressing all of it. They also seemed so happy to be working for Jeff. It's clear he takes good care of his team and we are so happy to give our money to a company like that. RESULTS: Everything was literally perfect. Our artificial turf required so many cuts and pieces, yet we can't the seams! The concrete looks great. My yard is sloped to favor the drains without looking for feeling like I'm walking on a ramp. The turf drains are also so well hidden. The results are literally better than we envisioned. We had a bad experience with a different company for a different home project, and we were scared going into this larger project. Jeff was present and available, reassuring and communicating the entire time. There were no surprise change orders, and no nickel and dining. We literally could not have asked for a better price, team, service, and results. We got exactly what we hoped for, and more! Ruff & Ready's work is helping turn our house into a home for many years to come.

Since I'm being accused of defamation, here is more proof…read more In my opinion, This tree was planted too deep and there was too much mulch and bark completely covering the trunk and base of the tree that we had to remove, unfortunately, this suffocated the tree according to 2 local nurseries. It didn't help that you incorrectly set our sprinkler system. My dad asked for the front yard and back yard to be set the same amount of time in morning and late afternoon, you set it so that the back yard got the highest amount of water in the morning AND afternoon and the front yard got the lower amount of water in the morning and afternoon. No wonder the tree is almost dead. Now to address your accusation of racism: How about you ask your guys that were here when the front yard was being done how often I would speak Spanish with them every time I pulled up to my house? I asked them how to say a couple things and they taught me. I enjoyed having you guys around, including you (when you were there). My post was nothing personal. I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and I always make it a point to practice when I can so I don't forget words. I can also speak a tiny bit of Vietnamese (learned about 20 years ago), tiny bit of Chinese (Mandarin- still learning), a little French and a little German. I've lived in Southern California my entire life. You only met 3 white people at my house and my whole family is an extremely mixed bunch of 3 different races. It's awfully judgmental of you to label someone as racist simply because of their skin color. Telling someone they did something wrong isn't racist, just fyi. I understand your go to "racist" comment with the way the world is right now, but it was displaced towards the wrong people. In my opinion, and the opinion of other landscaping companies that came in to complete the job and saw your work, your company's work was poor. Bottom line. Nothing personal. Just business. You could have fixed the problems (because there are more than I posted) instead of ghosting us and ignoring the issues, but you didn't. It's normal for some people to lash out and personally attack someone when they have no rebuttal for non-personal criticism. However, it's poor business practice when a customer shares their opinion based on their experience (with pictures) and instead of merely apologizing, you dig a deeper hole. Best of luck!
