    Irvin, Hugo, and their crew did a great job with our backyard. Irvin had suggested an amazing idea…read moreto set stepping stones in the corner of our yard which complemented our pre-existing pavers well. Their quotes and price contract was laid out in-depth detail and they were accommodating of any changes. What stood out to us was that they went the extra mile and help us re-plant some of our pre-existing plants and fixed some of our pavers at no extra charge. Ongoing communication was also very solid.

    A time to Finish our front Landscaping My hubby had a…read moreVision and started but wasn't able to complete it for me. Again, with much Prayers for God's Guidance, Directions we contacted for 3 Bids. One company with the initials of SL on Yelp great reviews was not a pleasant experience for us. They wanted Photos before they would even consider to bid. After much stress I did the photos, took the measurements as requested. I didn't expect them to come out to bid but they did and their bid was very high. I kept on praying and D&I Landscaping appeared and had great Yelp reviews. My initial reaction was Alyssa Torres was my first contact very personable and then we booked for Luis Blanco to come out to access our needs. No request for measurements or photos at all. Our job was easier only because my hubby knew what he wanted to have done and gave them his Vision and with their advice and help we tweaked a few things. Pavers is not an easy job especially when there's already Pavers installed, the guy I watched him and he was so methodical and kept placing Pavers down until he felt that he got the flow down and it was an amazing and challenging job but he did very well in my opinion. What we Love about D&I , is one of the owners Irving and their Designer Luis came over to meet with us. D&I doesn't charge for a Designer as some other companies do its part of their services. Irving, David, Luis and Alyssa and the entire Crew are so professional again this company was very Honest, Reputable, Hardworking and most of all they listen to our needs. One time our water spigot started leaking or spouting and we have this Project Group Text that they set up for us, all we do is text and within a few minutes David one of the owners showed up and turned it off while we were gone. They installed a water spigot that is easy for us to reach. They finished our Irrigation system along with installing a Rain Bird timer. It's hard to find a good honest company with Integrity but this company has it. Remember the company with the Initials SL think of S = a hard rock. Well... we had 3 bids which included backyard and front yard. When I called SL company and explained change of plans not doing the backyard she said oh, well that changes your front yard quote by 8 - 10% I was livid are you kidding me? No, it changes your price, the Lord quickly had me shut the door on this company bad feelings from the time I contacted them had to do measurements and photos. When the guy showed up,from SL, I told him you're young but you are passing on small jobs because you don't have time, let me tell you something passing on small job could lead you to something bigger, he was cordial and what was funny was after I went into the house he took measurements. When during our conversation I said how can you bid without taking measurements he replied because I've been doing this a long time really you're not even 40 Years old. D&I I contacted them to not include our backyard sent me a new quote penny for penny they just took off the back yard quote the front yard stayed the same. Honesty and Integrity goes a long way plus they don't charge us for a Porta Potty as SL did on our quote $250 for a Porta Potty folks she said unless you want the crew into your house to potty. I did let our Painters use our restroom which is fine they're in our house anyway and they were so professional and kind to us. To each its own. Looking for good Quality Work, a company with Honesty, Interity and a great ideas on your Landscaping this is the company and we had Carpenter Bees in one of our Post. David one of the owners worked really hard into the dark repairing it and he also placed the boulders back onto our neighbors lot for them. Irving drops by to check on the progress of our project. Who does all of these extras? D&I Landscaping give them a call for a quote no job too big or small for them. One of our neighbors hired them shortly after seeing them here at our house for over a week. Thank you Irving, David, Luis, Alyssa for completing Marvin's vision for him this is all done now for our Front. @d&I landscaping incorporated

    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!

He replied promptly. During our communication, Renzo's clarity, persistence, knowledge and patience impressed and persuaded me, not to mention his very reasonable quote. Instinctively I knew I could trust Renzo and he is the right guy for my project, even though I haven't met him.  So I waited a month and hired him. The wait was worth it. They built three walls and one patio, redesigned front left yard by grading and building a new pebble pathway with statue, installed lighting and irrigation system that had better dripping rings. They also revamped the driveway that made it look brand new and pebble-covered the right front yard.  It was truly a remarkable experience. Not only they did an excellent job with fine craftmanship, but their punctuality, hardwork, efficiency, know-how, discipline, organization, respect, kindness and neatness were a force to be reckoned with and an inspiration beyond a mere landscaping job. They take pride at what they do and the result is phenomenal! Before and during the three-week construction, Renzo was very respectful and made me feel my opinion matters. He was responsive, accommodating, flexible, easygoing and honest. He listened. He always showed how it would look. When something didn't work out, he was open to suggestions and assisted with solutions. I felt he had my best interest. The level of care to my plants led to high survival rate during transplant. I also noticed one of my trees was magically recovered from disease and the other was vigorously blossoming, which has never happened before. They brought life to my garden. Everything was done very nicely. They cleaned up the whole place and it was much better and cleaner than when they started. They also showed up for additional work as promised. Renzo and his crew transformed my old and messy space into the most beautiful and meaningful garden/haven that I could have only dreamed of. With the new lawn, now my garden has never looked better. I spend more time there and enjoy it more than ever. Renzo at Total Landscape is the best! I highly recommend them!

Carlos, the…read moreowner of the company, is a delightful person to interact with because he is dedicated to providing the best product out there. We requested Carlos give us a quote for grass installation in our backyard, and he responded immediately, came out to take measurements, and gave us a great quote. Once we agreed, he quickly scheduled the installation. He and his men said it would take two days, and they were totally correct - at the end of two days we had an amazing yard at great value. It was an excellent investment; we loved spending in our backyard after that. We asked All Green Scape to come out again to install even more grass, and they once again provided excellent service in an incredibly timely manner. The grass has thrived beautifully- it is really high quality, both lush and soft. Kids love to roll around on it and play on it all day long. All Green Scape also does our weekly garden maintenance and it's been great as well. You can tell everyone at All Green Scape sincerely cares about making sure their customer's gardens are beautiful, and I really appreciate their expertise and hard wo. I would heartily recommend anyone looking to install grass and make their gardens beautiful reach out to Carlos at All Green Scape.

Our new backyard is gorgeous, and the details of our experience tell the story. We worked closely with Danny, the on-site supervisor, who is a top-notch professional. He knows his plants and hardscape, pays attention to every detail, and manages his crew with great efficiency. The crew worked as hard as any I've ever seen, and they did everything--digging out enormous tree roots, setting flagstone for our patio, installing irrigation and lighting, moving boulders--you name it. They showed up every day and even worked several Saturdays to get the job finished on time and before we had to travel. These guys were terrific, and I can't thank them enough for the tremendous effort they put into both the demolition and the complete recreation of our backyard. Marcus, the office manager, was also great to work with. He took us out to select our patio stone, river rock, and boulders, and was patient and generous with his time as we made decisions throughout the project. If you need a concern or question answered quickly, call the office: they respond right away! As we watched the project progress over the weeks, my husband and I often commented to each other on the quality of the work and the care being taken with every part of the job. We are grateful to every one of the men who worked in our yard and deeply appreciate their hard work, skill, and professionalism. I recommend SouthBay Landscape and Design enthusiastically and without reservation. They do top-quality work, and they were a pleasure to have at our home. One additional note: we also used the landscape designer they recommended, Dawn, and she was excellent. We are thrilled with the beautiful backyard they all helped create.

    Jesus and his guys transformed our front and back yard plus driveway. It was a pretty sizeable…read morelandscaping and hardscaping project and they delivered a great output for a reasonable budget. During the course of the project, they showed up everyday and worked hard to deliver 95% of the project on time within about 4 months. For that I give them full marks. The last 5% is what I have to take some of those marks away and to share our experience for the benefit of others. What should have been a day or 2 worth of work to fix a few things and wrap up the project ended up taking 2+ months to resolve. Jesus kept saying he had to be in Mexico for family reasons with no cell signal and therefore could not respond. In any event, as a customer, even though we tried to be sympathetic, our patience was running thin as this happened repeatedly. Jesus is a reasonable guy with a professional and knowledgeable team. However, we found communication to be quite challenging in the last 2 months. Having said all of that, taking the whole picture in view, they offer an affordable service (for bay area prices at least) with reasonably high quality. If thats what you are looking for, and are willing to project manage the project at times, then they are a good option.

    Unfortunately, as much as I love this company and Jesus personally as a person, I am forced to…read moreupdate my review to be factually accurate. As a few others with low reviews have noted, Jesus is a bit overloaded and sometimes disappears. He had to leave for Mexico during a significant remodel project and I kept our project going...which was a bit of a challenge since my Spanish is a bit rusty. I had little notice when he went MIA, but due to his personality I didn't mind and acted as project manager. I don't mind having to act PM of my own project, but the reason I'm forced to update my review is due to this: At the end of our $40k cash remodel (our remodel was sizably higher but that was his portion) we hired him to do more work. This additional work was to replace brand new lawns we had hired a previous landscaper to install a few months prior, and to finish the side yard. I paid his man in full once they "completed" the project given my faith in Jesus, but I made sure Jesus knew that there were issues that needed to be solved (dead patches of grass, sprinkler heads not working, install of moss was inadequate with no top soil and planting of 40+ Irish moss into dead ground which didn't hold). He promised me, and my wife, that these issues he agreed were his responsibility would be fixed. Months later, no labor was sent to repair. Instead, he visited once again with me and my wife to review the issues he knew needed to be addressed and promised a crew on Friday. They never arrived with zero communication. After a few weeks my wife reached out to Jesus and made it clear our patience was spent, and she and Jesus agreed on $4,700 cash refund to cover the repairs of the above already mentioned, plus the cuts his guys put into our $30k deck because they foolishly used the saw and wire on our brand new deck to cut the wire. Well, a guy showed up with $1,500 - not $4,700 - and we've never heard from him since. I could report him to the EDD and do a small claims case, but honestly, I like Jesus and his team. I just feel obliged to help my fellow Yelpers and tell them - if you have someone else you can trust and is reliable, go there and pass on Meza.

From the very first phone call, we could tell he knew his craft. He spent generous time listening to our wish list and understanding our vision, explaining the design/build timeline, and answering every "what if" we threw his way. We also loved his design work in his portfolio of course. Shortly after we engaged Taylor, he was on site taking detailed measurements, photos, and even drone shots of our entire front and backyard. He flagged any potential sloping issues, suggested realistic solutions, and connected us to his trusted referral that could further help us. Any time we had follow up questions, he made himself available and responded quickly - no hard sell, just clear information. Although we weren't able to go forward with the full project due to unexpected yard and budget constraints, Taylor handled the change with total professionalism and never made us feel pressured. The insight we gained from his preliminary work was helpful and will be very useful for when we decide to continue with the project in the future. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely easy-to-work-with design partner, we'd highly recommend giving Taylor at Applewood a call.
