Del Conte’s M & H Landscape Construction

Del Conte’s M & H built & created our front/back yard, driveway, installed our fences & planted our trees, built our stone walls, and the list goes on and on… they basically created an impecable landscape for our property. Their professionalism exceded our expectations. Their expertise was notable in every step, their commitment to deliver an incredible landscaping product was evident throughout the process. Their suggestions were always on point & the irrigation systems installed are of the highest quality. Needless to say Del Conte’s did an outstanding job & will recommend their services to anyone that is looking for quality & experience.

We had a great experience working with Michelle and the Del Conte team. We're very happy with how the project turned out. It was a big front yard and backyard project.

The team at Del Conte’s was very professional and did a terrific job on our large home landscaping project even while working through the series of atmospheric rivers that hit the Bay Area in late 2022-2023. They do great detail and design work and their project manager Michelle is particularly great and easy to work with. We are very happy with the end result, have received compliments from everyone who sees the work and are happy to recommend them.

Del Conte's was excellent. The crew did careful work and the management was very responsive and made sure things were done correctly and to our liking. We would gladly hire them again for another project in the future.

I would highly recommend Del Conte's M&H Landscape Construction, Inc. They did a fantastic job for our total re-landscaping of our front, back, and side yards. They installed stones and planted numerous trees, shrubs and flowers. They also did our lighting, fire pit, bbq area, and sewage line. The team is not only professional but also always kind and friendly. My new landscape would not be complete without their help!

Ricardo and the team at Del Conte's M & H Landscape Construction did a phenomenal job with our landscape project, which included a comprehensive overhaul of our irrigation system, installation of new lawns, new path and driveway installation and overall landscaping. I cannot speak highly enough of their professionalism, quality and, equally important, on-time completion.

We worked with Del Conte's Landscaping to remodel our entire front and back yard including pool & spa w/ water features and lighting, intricate stone work, fireplace, bbq, landscaping and lawn. Everyone we worked with from Del Conte's was professional, hard working, reliable, and skilled. Project manager and designer, Michelle Planessi conscientiously coordinated the job with precision and was an adept problem solver when we encountered challenges. She was on site regularly to check the progress, as was site supervisor, Ricardo Magana. When change orders needed to be made, Ricardo always provided fair estimates which made me feel I was being treated fair and square, even though we were already mid-contract. The construction & landscpaing team that did the work led by Federico "Kiko" was proficient in everything from laying concrete to installing irrigation. They worked well together; you could see they were all friends. They arrived on time, followed the COVID protocols, and left the worksite orderly and clean. I've worked on a number of large remodel projects and Del Conte's was one of the best teams I have encountered. I also found them to be straightforward and honest in their pricing, compared with others. I would definitely hire them again!

We have been fortunate to have used Del Conte Landscaping twice: Once for complete front and backyard demolition, gorgeous rock wall construction along with beautiful landscaping, and once to demo and build a thoughtfully designed deck with flower boxes and fire pit area. Everything is professionally handled with DVL and nothing was done without our understanding and approval. The team is unusually accessible and pleasant to deal with from beginning to end. We marvel at the craftsmanship, skill and attention to detail in every aspect of the work. Michelle (our designer and project manager) makes us feel as though we are her only client and aims to please in every way, as do all the other DCL team members. We recommend them heartily and without any hesitation. Our only regret is that we have no more projects to work on with them. It has been a pleasure and we are thrilled with the results.

Del Conte's Landscaping managed out large landscaping project in 2018-2019. They were both on time and also on budget. From start to finish our experience with Michelle Planessi was impeccable. Communication was always her first concern, constantly checking in with any revisions and often on site. Michelle is very personable, and always made us a priority, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Our finished project is beautiful, we could not be happier. I recommend Del Conte's Landscaping 100%!

Del Conte did a beautiful job with the re-landscaping of our front and back yards. They executed the design perfectly and finished on schedule. From installing a huge tree to building out an entire outdoor kitchen, there was nothing they couldn't handle. They have also been helpful and responsive to me as questions about irrigation, etc. have come up after the job was done.

We worked with Del Conte's for a total re-landscaping of our front, back, and side yards, and had a great experience from start to finish. Michelle was super helpful in the design phase, creating multiple options and working patiently through my many revisions to get to a result we were very happy with and could afford. Once we had a permit, the installation took about 7 weeks. The crew was friendly and professional, made substantial progress every day, and did all of the work (demo, concrete, pergola, stone, pavers, irrigation, edging, plants, sod, etc., etc.) themselves, which was really impressive because they were good at all of it. The attention to detail was superb & we are very satisfied with the end result.

We found Del Conte after a bad experience with a previous contractor. We did a thorough screening and reference check process and were so happy to have Del Conte as our contractor. Michelle Planessi is a designer plus project manager. If anything requires adjustment after the job has started (which can happen - especially based on the complexity of the project), Michelle can help to adjust and provide other options for the design keeping in mind the budget. Overall, Del Conte is a very professional and trustworthy company. You can be sure that they will get the job done with highest quality and aligning with budget considerations. They did a complex job for us - including landscaping on a hillside, a large pergola, a very large IPE deck, an in-ground hot tub and deck (including irrigation and drainage, they also brought in their subs to do electrical and gas work - we had a fire pit and NG heaters). This required a high level of craftsmanship and knowledge. They have the expertise and the tools to get the job done. The foreman - Eduardo was great, as well as his crew. We were very happy with the project and now we really get to enjoy our extended outdoor living space. We highly recommend Del Conte if you are looking for a trusted advisor and contractor who knows how to manage a project end to end (including permitting), and deliver quality results.

Worked with Michelle and Ricardo and a lot of other Del Conte folks. Super professional, great quality of work and responsible. They do what they say they will do and stick to the budget. Very happy with how our big landscaping project turned out. Thanks Del Conte!

Del Conte's did a beautiful job on our front and back yards. We had a somewhat complex vision of a putting green, fountain, outdoor kitchen and firepit plus landscaping to incorporate. They were very detail-oriented and were fabulous problem-solvers when certain things had to be changed. The crew were reliable, trustworthy and orderly. They presented us with a binder full of the products and plants used so that it is a helpful resource going forward. I have recommended them to many friends and would use them again in a heartbeat. Michelle, our project manager, kept everything humming along and was a pleasure to work with as well.

I've done two major projects with Del Conte's and will certainly use them for any projects I have in the future. (one back yard and one front yard). Both were large and complex. They are incredibly professional with great communication and planning. Everything was done on schedule, with perfect quality and attention to detail. They work very well with the city on permits and approvals. Every communication is prompt and effective. Our projects included drainage, complex hardscape, stairs, retaining walls, tile, lighting, outdoor audio, drip irrigation, driveway, fencing, automatic gates, complete landscaping, shrubs, trees, grass, artificial turf, etc... They nailed every aspect of the job. Everyone on their crews are professionals from the foreman on down. On the job at 7am sharp and everyone is an expert at their trade. They are one of the best contractors I've ever worked with (of any kind). I love businesses that deliver so well for their customers, so I had to write this review.

We hired Del Conte's landscaping for a complete redo of our back yard and front yard. Michelle was a pleasure to work with and her crew was very professional and completed the work in the specified time. The work involved ripping out all of the grass and the bushes near the house and in the back yard. The planting material they selected was healthy and beautiful. We also had them rip out some concrete and install stone pathways in their place. The irrigation system they installed a very efficient drip system. We were extremely happy with the job they did, we highly recommend them.

When we first met with Michelle Planessi, we were impressed right away by her knowledge and creative ideas to completely redo our front yard and backyard. She put together a comprehensive landscaping plan and advised us on the type of materials to use for our front porch, pathway, driveway, patio, fire pit and BBQ island. Michelle selected plants and flowers that are beautiful, drought resistant and that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. She is a talented designer and a pleasure to work with. The whole Del Conte's Landscaping crew was very courteous and professional. We are very happy with the end result of our landscaping project by Del Conte and enjoy every day our new front yard and backyard.

I am very pleased with Del Conte. They are diligent and responsive. Their crews are professional and detail oriented. They communicate well and the supervisor, Ricardo, is stellar. They are on time and on budget (amazing in this industry!) I have truly enjoyed their professionalism on this project.

Del Conte's was responsive and responsible. Their price was fair, and their workmanship fine. We needed a few adjustments after our project (irrigation, hardscaping, planting), and each time they fixed the issue right away. We continue to be impressed with them and highly recommend them.

We had a very significant backyard project that took 4+ months to complete -- retaining walls, sump pump, significant ground movement, and plantings, and they did a very good job -- the end quality was a 10 out of 10. Every aspect was well done and well finished.

I am very pleased with Del Conte's Landscaping services. I reached out to them one year ago to have this firm to provide an overview and estimate of some major landscaping work I wanted completed. This company really jazzed up my garden variety single family ranch home and turned it into a Mediterranean Oasis! We worked closely with Michelle to design the front, side (corner lot) as well as a work station in the bank of the property. We graded the front, added beautiful winding privacy stucco walls, drought resistant plants which are now very grown in, as well as used pavers to provide a warm entry, three car parking spaces and a fun side yard patio with a gas firepit. I love, love, love, my property and spend my free time decompressing on the patio and watching my plants grow. I would like to reach out to Sunset magazine to photograph the plants as they mature and capture the stone work of Del Conte's artisans. High quality work, located in Fremont, so great East Bay location, friendly service. Thank you

I interviewed three different landscape companies before deciding on Del Conte's. I was fortunate to have Michelle as our Landscape Designer. She knew what questions to ask and gave advice and options to us. We wanted a modern design aesthetic and she worked with us on getting the right materials to get the look we wanted. Our project was complicated because we live on a steep hill and required retaining walls and special permits. She dealt with the tedious and frustrating job of dealing with the city to get those building permits approved. I simply would not have had the time or patience to do so myself. As we move into the completion stage of the project, Michelle did a final walk through with me and is working on the punch list we came up with. She has been very responsive to any questions or concerns and is always pleasant and professional. Her follow through is exceptional and we would definitely recommend Del Conte’s. Everyone at the company is pleasant and professional. We are so pleased with our back yard and side yards. Our deck is spectacular and we cannot wait to enjoy the back yard this summer.

Del Conte's Landscaping has installed several of my designs in Northern California’s East Bay area and I appreciate the partnership approach they take. Rather than racing through the work once they are awarded the bid, they keep me (the designer) apprised of the project’s process, requesting input whenever site or budget considerations dictate a change in direction. More importantly, the clients have been highly satisfied, both with the service and communication they received during the installation process, and with the look of their finished gardens.
