I hired Skywood Landscaping to complete a major renovation of my house's backyard primarily because…read moreof their stellar reputation and expertise with design and installation of paved patios. Ken Truong (owner of Skywood) and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Ken carefully listened to my objectives during an initial site visit. I didn't have a particular design in mind, but within about 10 days Ken was able to prepare a written proposal that included 2D and 3D photos of what the finished landscape renovation might look like. This was really helpful because only few iterations of discussion and revisions were needed to complete the final proposal. Demolition of the existing backyard included removal of trees, artificial turf, patio blocks, and a considerable amount of soil. This phase was completed relatively quickly and without any problems due to Skywood's obvious experience. The next phases included installation of drainage pipes and conduits for lighting and irrigation and then covering with rock base and pavers. Skywood's efforts during these phases included an uncommonly high level of attention to detail to ensure that rainwater would flow away from the house and into the storm drains. The final phases included installation of a redwood fence, installation of rock veneer and capstone to cover a retaining wall, and installation of lights, plants and irrigation to produce a really beautiful garden. Despite several hot summer days, Ken and his crew always had a friendly, positive attitude and left the worksite clean each day. I give Skywood Landscaping my highest recommendation, and I would surely hire them in the future.

What a wonderful experience replacing my small backyard lawn. For years, this area was difficult to…read moremaintain. It was a curved area and hard to irrigate as well. Ken suggested I look at their newer samples of artificial turf. There has been some progress in materials which are durable and cooler than the older materials from years past. I love my new lawn! I can walk on it in the sun with bare feet, and no more wasted water. His crew were very experienced and able to complete my new landscaping project in just one day. Their crew even straightened out some crooked paving stones I had been meaning to fix. So kind of them. While working around my existing landscaping they protected everything. No damage anywhere. And the cleanup was perfect. Real top notch pros! Even the quote was incredibly affordable. I could not recommend anyone as high as Skywood.

Wow. We are so glad we found these guys on Yelp. We've been wanting to make our yard usable for…read moreyears, and finally decided to get turf installed. From the diligent follow-through by Luis, to Eric (Eric is so pleasant, and knowledgeable!) showing up (twice) to give us assessments on how/what can be done with the yard, most competitive pricing, to the hard working team of workers that worked tirelessly in the heat, showing up early, and cleaning up everyday, to delivering the final result that made our heart so happy. We are so impressed by the work ethics, professionalism, efficiency, attention to details, and great attitude of the whole team. They have wow'ed us! Our family is so happy and thankful for our beautiful yard! It has only been about a week since the work is done, and our family has been out in the yard enjoying watching our kids play ball everyday. I wish we had done this sooner! Thank you Life Turf Landscaping. We highly recommend this business and have already recommended them to our family and friends. We'd love to work with them again on our next project(s). I will try to update the review again in a year or so, to see how the turf holds up. So far, we are very pleased. Stop looking anywhere else. Give these guys a call. They're the real deal.

We sent out a project request for artificial turf installation in backyard and Bay Area Tippe Rock…read morewas the first to the respond and also the first to come quickly survey the project with us a day later. The foreman who came onsite was polite, well-mannered and knowledgable about the work. He came prepared with samples of various artificial turfs and made good recommendations for us (given we wanted something pet friendly). While we were chatting, we landed on a slightly bigger project that also included concrete removal and flattening to make the yard look even better. Luis, the owner, was quick to provide two separate quotes - one with our original ask and another with the new request. Both incredibly reasonable quotes compared to what we've seen and they worked with us on a good budget that gave us the most value for what we were looking for. We signed on Saturday and the team came sharp on Monday morning and completed the job in less than two days (done by Tues at 3pm). They were good about being tidy and cleaned up everything afterwards with no issues. We're so pleased with the result and confident we can finish the rest of the yard ourselves. Thanks a ton for the quick, high-quality work!

I got an onsite quote, and also stopped by their office and the staff was very helpful. The sales process was pretty standard and the contacts were friendly. The contracts are sent view email or text. The installation process is why I'm leaving a 3 star review. While the crew was friendly and the area looks nicely done and professionally installed, the crew left a mess of a worksite. Most notably there were multiple long (6"ish) nails left around the play area after the team left for the day. The compactor they used left an oil spot on my concrete and they left a random piece of scrap turf without checking if we wanted the extra material. It was long and large and just another thing I have to deal with in my trash. As the day was wrapping up, I watched a member of the crew make my yard significantly messier with the most half-a** attempt at clean up blowing I've personally witness. It was done with an impressive lack of care that said "don't even bother me, I don't care either way." So I didn't. But I was wondering why they would be blowing the remnants of artificial turf, tiny little bits of chewed up plastic - all over my natural grass, patio and garden. I had to clean up after them, and luckily that's when I found the long nails before a child found them. (They weren't hidden at all, again, a shocking lack of attention to detail when it came to cleaning up the job site.) We're now a couple month in but the turf is functioning as expected.

I was very frustrated with each year having to go through my irrigation system and make repairs and…read moreadjustments, and finally decided to have a professional take care of it once and for all. Green magic came highly recommended and while quite expensive I felt that it will be worth it in the long run. Everything seemed fine at first, but I did not go through everything as I do have quite a large number of plants. I had made a request that I did not feel comfortable with a single emitters at the center of a plant as my experience has been that the water just goes straight down and out. Apparently that went unheard and has been the case with most every plant except where I had already used an alternate option. I was on vacation during the heat wave and when I came back, I found most of my plants either dead or dying. As I started to examine, the emitter applications I found them inadequate or not even in some cases near the plant itself. I am very disappointed and once again I will have to go through everything myself.

Jacob was fantastic! We are absolutely thrilled with our new turf and the entire experience of…read moreworking with him. Before committing, we did a ton of research and had five different companies come out to provide quotes. Jacob stood out from the very first meeting. He was the only person who proactively brought a variety of samples for us to feel and see in our own yard, which made the decision so much easier. He is clearly an expert on the product; he spent time answering my many questions and specifically addressed our concerns regarding durability for our dogs and safety for the kids. His professionalism and hustle are top-notch. He sent us a detailed quote the very same day he visited and had a list of references for us to call within 48 hours. Throughout the process, his communication was excellent--he responded to every message quickly, so we were never left wondering about the next steps. On top of the great service, his pricing was very fair and competitive compared to the other bids we received. It's rare to find that combination of product knowledge, efficiency, and honest pricing. If you're looking for someone reliable who does high-quality work, I cannot recommend Jacob highly enough!

They installed the turf in a single piece as I asked and it looks flawless. The edges, the cutouts around the 2'x2' stepping stone make it look like the turf is growing next to the stone.

The estimate was provided professionally and Jacob answered all my questions to allow me to make a good informed decision. Oswaldo and team installed it to perfection. Highly recommended!

Their guys worked hard three full days and we're positive and pleasant the entire time. We feel we received a reasonable quote and top quality of work. I rarely feel good spending this kind of money unless it comes out better than I imagine and it did!! Pics speak for themselves. They took all the sorry mulch out and replaced with underlying gopher wire, nice decorative rocks, and built a paver patio for us. They cleaned up meticulously at the end. It looks amazing and even our elders who are picky compliment our front yard. We would recommend them 100% to all friends.

Julio responded to my Yelp request almost immediately and then got me an estimate just as quickly after seeing the scope of the project. His bid was just slightly lower than my other bid but I had already decided to go with his company based on his professionalism. Julio also does landscape maintenance which is handy. Definitely recommend!!

I hired Heavenly Greens to install a putting green in my yard, and while the initial installation…read moreappeared satisfactory, I was extremely disappointed with how a critical issue was handled afterward. During excavation, I was assured multiple times that all underground water lines would be properly shut off and removed. However, this spring, after my gardener installed a new sprinkler system, we discovered a significant underground leak. Upon investigation, we found that one of the original water pipes--supposedly decommissioned--had not been properly capped or removed. I immediately contacted the company, expecting a straightforward resolution for what should have been considered a foundational installation issue. Instead, I was told that because my gardener lifted a portion of the turf to identify the leak, the warranty was voided. Despite requesting to speak directly with the owner, Tim, my calls were deflected and I've received no follow-up for over two weeks. This has been an incredibly frustrating experience. A basic expectation in turf installation is ensuring no active plumbing is left beneath the surface. This was not a complex repair--it was an avoidable oversight that the company refused to take responsibility for. To the owner: I recommended your business to friends in good faith. Had I known customer concerns would be dismissed so easily, I would have never done so. Ignoring valid issues and refusing direct communication with clients is not how reputable companies should operate. For anyone considering working with Heavenly Greens, I strongly recommend proceeding with caution.

Well, we have multiple sources of evidence showing what the problem was and how he tried to hide it. Cannot recommend this company based on the outright dishonesty we experienced.
