Dan, the owner, is incredibly talented, patient, and kind. He spent hours helping us refine our…read moreideas and improve the design, essentially eliminating the need for a separate landscape designer. He never made us feel rushed or pressured. After meeting with several high-pressure landscaping companies, working with Dan was a breath of fresh air. Once the project started, we met Hector, the foreman, along with Tito and Marcos. They are hardworking, genuine people who clearly enjoy what they do. Over the two-week project they removed heavy roots, took down a large tree, prepared the ground, installed plants, created a beautiful rock garden, added a sprinkler system and lighting, and repaired and painted the fences. Our backyard was transformed from a messy "jungle" into a neat, beautiful oasis. One thing that really stood out: after the job was technically finished, Dan and his crew came back early the next morning to reposition two 300-plus-pound rocks so everything was exactly how we wanted it. Thank you, Dan, Hector, Tito, and Marcos.

This review for DB landscaping is long overdue. They remodeled our backyard - which included soft…read morelandscaping, flagstone, concrete, a fountain, a pool equipment enclosure, and lighting. We already had a design and they made that design a reality. Daniel and his team go above and beyond for their clients. And, that isn't always easy when you're dealing with a client like us. We would change things up at the last second and his team never made us feel bad about that. They did everything they could to make us happy and satisfied. And they stand behind their work. They came back to add extra plants for us and even moved trees if we weren't completely happy with their exact placement. Also, their flagstone work was simply amazing! We would absolutely without hesitation hire DB landscaping again.

He took the time to explain to me his thoughts and how he planned on adding the reducing value to my existing PCV pipes, given the tight work space.

He's really easy to talk to, honest, and I will contact him again for future needs!

I had Olivio come out for a complicated residential drainage issue involving severe root intrusion,…read moreblocked drain lines, cracked sections of pipe, and water retention concerns along a shared property line. Jose and the team spent essentially the entire day diagnosing and remediating the problem. They performed drain scoping, hydro jetting, extensive root removal, repaired damaged sections of the main drain line with PVC, added new drains/catch basins, restored drainage flow, and repaired/cleaned up the surrounding area afterward. What I appreciated most was that Jose took the time to explain what they were finding throughout the process and helped distinguish between immediate necessary repairs versus larger optional improvements. The amount of root intrusion uncovered was significant, and the team worked extremely hard under difficult conditions. The pricing for the work completed felt fair given the amount of labor, troubleshooting, excavation, and repair involved. I also appreciated that they approached the situation practically rather than trying to oversell unnecessary work. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the professionalism, communication, and quality of work performed and would recommend Olivio for drainage and irrigation-related issues.

I needed a new lawn and got my standard five bids for the job. Michael stood out for all of his…read moreinitial input on the options and then for the details of his bid. He was the only one who detailed every item involved in the bid, including update of irrigation. I've had issues in the past with bids for other projects that I assumed included the little details but didn't and then I had to pay extra. Michael's bid included every detail in writing that you would assume would be a part of a new lawn job and it was very reasonable. He also showed up on time for the initial appointment! His crew was great! Their work was very detailed and clean. The job was done within three days and all of the work area, including the driveway, was cleaned up. They even noted my falling-apart fence gate so Michael gave me a very reasonable quote and they did a great job fixing it for me. There were a lot of details for after-care and I've texted Michael multiple times to confirm. He texts back quickly and I never get the impression he's annoyed (I've sent a lot of texts!). I almost wish I had more yard renovations so that I could hire him again! I did discuss a whole-yard mulch job and will absolutely hire Michael when I'm ready for that. No more getting multiple bids for future yard renovations. I'll just call Michael.

Michael and his team worked hard to get our project done in time. Even though we were adding to our…read moredesign, Michael had solutions for us throughout our project. We had our design done through Armstrong Garden Center and I liked their design but the bids we were getting with their landscapers were a lot higher than Michael's bid. Also, he was very knowledgeable. He came to do our estimate and we were impressed with his explanation about how he was going to run our water and electrical. No one else who came to give a bid gave a good solution or just didn't know how to do that. So the combination of a good bid and confidence in his knowledge of landscaping made this an easy choice. But best of all, he and his crew delivered on everything that was in the design plus things we decided to add. Now we actually enjoy being in our garden. Thank you!

Rudgers Landscaping and Construction (David and helper) responded quickly when I contacted them…read moreabout an irrigation issue where the center of my lawn would not turn on. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill almost immediately. The owner refused to listen to what I was trying to explain and immediately started cutting into irrigation lines without discussing pricing, troubleshooting strategy, or even what he believed the problem might be. Instead, I got long "war stories" about other lawns he had worked on, which did nothing to address my issue. In the end, he never actually found the problem. Instead, he capped off piping and rigged the system so water flowed through all the sprinklers, but with significantly reduced pressure and coverage compared to before. When I pointed this out, he ignored my concerns and told me to go buy different sprinkler heads because that "should" fix the coverage problem. I would expect a professional irrigation contractor to properly diagnose and solve the issue himself. He also replaced the top portion of my solenoid valve with a larger setup that now prevents my valve box door from closing. After I contacted him about this, he promised he would come back and correct it. To date, I have heard nothing. The cleanup and restoration were also sloppy. Soil around the sprinklers was carelessly replaced, and the entire job felt rushed and unprofessional. I honestly regret paying for the service. I do want to say that his assistant was respectful of my property and professional throughout the visit. I only wish the assistant had been the one leading the job instead of the owner. At one point the owner mentioned that he installs artificial grass as well. Based on my experience with this irrigation repair, I personally would not trust him with any landscaping project.

First time we used Yelp for a project. It was convenient that there were numerous messages that…read morewere sent out to various tree specialists. Noe Pablo was the most thorough in messaging through the Yelp app, so my husband and I chose him. I had 2 medium-sized fruit trees I needed to transfer from my parent's home in Southeast San Diego to mine in North County. I took pictures and he gave us a very reasonable price. We also decided to also add another service to take out our palm tree. There were a couple of mishaps such as: The day he was scheduled to take out the palm tree, he was a no-show and my husband had to call him an hour after he was supposed to arrive. Then, the day after that incident, was the fruit tree transfer. He and his team forgot to bring their dolly. Thank goodness my Dad had one so they borrowed it, but now we have the burden in taking it back. Despite these mishaps, Noe was very knowledgeable and professional in his mannerisms. The day of the fruit tree transfer, he and his team arrived in a timely manner, was efficient and did a great job overall. We were very pleased and will definitely use him again if we have another project.
