**★★★★★ — nancyzbates, Aug. 2024**

> I love my artificial lawn and no work to maintain. The racoons try to roll it up to get grubs.

**★★★★★ — Kristina Kim, June 2024**

> We planned our backyard project for months and had an initial design. We had multiple bids and chose Bluewagon Landscape and Design after meeting Kevin. He was responsive and very knowledgeable about products, design and execution. This was a very large project with many moving parts, and Kevin was always available to questions, concerns, and had valuable opinions and insights into pulling all of the elements together. We asked a lot of questions and took more time to make some decisions, and Kevin was very patient and kept the project moving. His team were the guys we saw every day. They were friendly, so hard working, and respectful of our space. They would clean the space they worked in, they would stop and answer a question or explain what they were doing, and worked with precision measuring multiple times and making sure the lines were correct. Any project on the house is stressful, and Kevin helped make the process less stressful.

**Comment from BLUEWAGON LANDSCAPE & DESIGN INC:**

> Thank you Kristina.  It was a pleasure working with you and your family!!!

**★★★★★ — mark godley, Feb. 2022**

> Fantastic experience with Blue Wagon managing a tricky hillside repair.  From design and project scoping with Kevin, he showed extreme care in hearing my concerns and adjusting the project design to handle timelines.  Peter overseeing the crew onsite was equally impressive.  They banged out the job ahead of schedule working long days with a strong and committed crew.  Overall, Blue Wagon took a job filled with homeowner stress and potential peril and rebuilt a hillside that is structurally better than before and aesthetically a huge improvement.  I can't recommend these folks any higher.

**★★★★★ — Dave S., March 2018**

> We used Blue Wagon, Kevin, Lorenzo and team to redo our backyard based on a design we already had in place.  SUPER fantastic job!  They we're on time, on budget and quite flexible when we changed our minds.  They often had suggestions for a variety of options in different areas!  Would highly recommend Blue Wagon.

**★★★★★ — J Dovichi, Nov. 2016**

> We have used Blue Wagon for years.   Always professional and on time.   Kevin has always been able to accommodate our needs, even when they change.   Easy 5 plus stars

**★★★★★ — escasey2007, May 2016**

> I highly recommend Kevin and his team. I appreciated his straightforward and detailed approach. The project was completed on schedule and within our agreed upon budget. In addition, Kevin went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. We are very happy with the results, and love our new garden!

**★★★★★ — awlarsson, March 2016**

> Kevin and his crew came highly recommended to us by a neighbor/friend and we could not have been happier working with him. He helped us with some pretty serious drainage/flooding issues affecting our driveway and garage. The project was completed on time and for a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, after the recent torrential downpour the subterranean pump that had been installed was overwhelmed and quit working. I emailed Kevin at 11pm and was happy to wake-up to an email response and commitment to have his team come out that morning and check it. The pump had gone out most likely from overworking (not his fault!), but he and his team installed a stronger pump that day at no cost to us.  Kevin and his crew always leave the site cleaner than it was when they arrived, and my husband and I will happily use him for future landscaping needs.

**★★★★★ — stephanie steph, Feb. 2016**

> Kevin from BlueWagon was an absolute pleasure to work with.   He built us a beautiful fireplace and turned our concrete jungle backyard into something we enjoy looking at!  The project took 1/2 the time he scooped and everything he picked from the flowers to the stone work is perfect, which made the processes that much easier.  Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Margarita Golod, May 2015**

> It was such a joy to hire Kevin Bates and his company for our front yard landscape. I had such terrible experiences with other landscape contractors, and Kevin was a breath of fresh air. He had great suggestions for our front yard and completed the work really quickly. His workers were kind and polite and really hard working. And compared to others, his price was very reasonable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for any type of landscaping project! Thank you Kevin!

**★★★★★ — grepple2013, April 2013**

> Kevin is very thoughtful and professional.  He implemented the design my landscape architect created to our exacting specifications.  We were very happy with the end result.

**★★★★★ — manzanitak, April 2013**

> I hired Blue Wagon on three different projects.    After my first project in Woodside, CA I knew this was the only company I would work with.
>
> Kevin is creative, budget conscience, and wonderful to work with.  Kevin's team members are all very professional and work incredible hard.
>
> The end result on every project was way past my expectation.
>
> Thank you Blue Wagon.

**★★★★★ — Herrin Landscape Design, Feb. 2013**

> Bluewagon Landscape and Design has installed several projects for clients of mine, for whom I have provided landscape design services.  I found Bluewagon Landscape to be knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.  As a design professional, I appreciate the attention to detail as well as the drive to ensure the client is pleased with the final product.
