Redwood City, CA Landscape Contractors

“Southbay Design & Landscaping redid our backyard over 4 years ago, and have been maintaining it ever since. They are very responsive to any requests we have and are thorough in the maintenance of our yard. I appreciate that they will plant new plants for us if we pick them up and have given advice on what kind of plants work around our yard. They even help out by fixing our sprinklers without us asking (we actually hadn’t realized it was broken but were suspicious of why the grass wasn’t growing well in one spot). We appreciate their professionalism and good work.”

“Jim Roberts was our contact with Black Diamond for our project which consisted of (1)replacing a poured concrete front walkway that had two steps with pavers on an incline with no steps (this avoids people tripping on the steps at night) ; (2) creating a parking space next to the driveway with pavers; and (3) creating extra patio space using pavers around the back yard pool out of a grass area. Jim provided a nice presentation and competitive estimate and provided valuable creative input that steered us towards good choices of pavers and a great outcome. I was very nervous about the second part of the project (see above) because virtually all of our house utilities (gas, electric, telephone, cable, water line and drain line) all were directly through the area to be paved. Also, two massive tree root systems running through the area had to be hand removed due to being directly over the utilities. Jim and Black Diamond served up a truly outstanding crew that pulled it off without cutting any of the utility lines. Jim had good follow through and represented his company professionally and he would be our first call should we need paver services again. In summary, this was one of our best ever contracting outcomes and give due credit to Jim for that result. Chuck Clark”

“An excellent landscape designer. Worked with me to provide a design that helped me express myself.........when I didn't even know that was happening. He took a small lot in a nice neighborhood with 1960;s tract housing and made it look large, restful, private and at the same time accessible & inviting to neighbors passing by.”

“We are so happy with our "refreshed" backyard from Westcoast Hardscape! The team was professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Mike/ operations manager was proactive & honest with communication, shared ideas to consider and walked through the process and options so we knew exactly what was planned. We can't wait to work with them again for future projects, we can not recommend them enough....overall an excellent experience and amazing work!!!”

“This past summer we hired Landsystems Landscapes to design a backyard retreat for our family. We wanted a space that would be both beautiful and functional, a place for us to entertain our family and friends, but also serve as a private oasis to escape for some peace and quiet. Landsystems were exactly the right people for our job. Not only are they landscape architects, but they’re also contractors. So we knew that if we liked their design ideas we could also hire them to complete the construction too. At first, I worried that hiring landscape designers meant hiring other people’s own personal styles, choices and ideas. I also worried we would be giving up input as to the direction things would go or what we wanted for our space. However, with Landsystems Landscape this was never the case. From their detailed online project questionnaire to multiple design meetings at our house to gain a better understanding of our wants, needs, likes and dislikes Landsystems Landscapes has made the whole design process a collaborative effort that has been both enjoyable and educational. We have felt guided and informed throughout the entire process, never pushed or strayed away from our own likes and the things most important to us. They made sure that we understood each step and felt comfortable and confident with each choice and decision we made. Every person from the Landsystems’ team was professional, respectful, reliable and knowledgeable. In addition, the Landsystems’ personnel made us feel important and valued. They took the time to listen, explain and answer any and all questions we had, even if we asked the same question before or maybe needed a little more explanation or information before feeling completely confident and comfortable with our decision. Of course, a huge factor in our project was budget…everyone has one and everyone is trying to stick to it! Budget was something that we discussed with Landsystems early on in the design process. It was a constant topic and reference point that helped guide our decisions. Landsystems worked very closely with us to stay within our budget without compromising the beautiful design they had created for our backyard. By the end we knew exactly what work was going to be done, how much it was going to cost us and what the final product was going to look like. We were so pleased with Landsystems Landscapes that after the completion of the design process we hired them to implement their creative vision and construct our new backyard. Demolition began a couple weeks ago and we couldn’t be happier with the company, crew and workmanship.”

“I am a landscape designer and have worked with Harris Landscaping on many projects over the last years. I appreciate their detailed proposals, their craftsmanship, their intuition, their adherence to the design, and their friendly crews. There is an English-speaking foreman on site to avoid any miscommunication and their project manager Nate and owner Ian are always available to take care of anything that may arise during construction. I feel my clients are in good hands when they decide to go with Harris Landscaping.”

“We used Craig's firm to do a complete landscape of our front and backyard in 2016 and 2017. Craig is easy to work with: he doesn't rush decisions; he works with you to create designs; and he hires high quality and hardworking team leaders and workers. When our friends and family walk into our large backyard, for the first time, complete with a gazebo with pink roses running around it, they gasp with delight. In addition, we found his prices to be competitive and fair.”

“We've used Skyline for years for regular maintenance, but then we did a total renovation. Francisco is incredible. Super responsive.”

“I merely opened an account to leave an excellent review for our foreman, Victor and Jesus, our Project Manager, also to his team of professionals. My husband and I called Blue Sierra to schedule an initial visit, when they came to assess our project, they explained their process, from budgeting to signing a contract and were very knowledgeable and prompt to answer our questions. After reviewing our plans and discussing the process, we were confident to sign a contract and eager to get started, they provided us with a work schedule to keep track on the progress of the project and keep us on the loop. They amazed us with their quality and how closely they followed the schedule they initially gave us, and the plans from our Architect. Overall my husband and I had a great experience with Blue Sierra Landscape, they followed the plans without cutting corners and delivered exactly what we were looking for. Jesus was very responsive and eased our worries throughout the process. We had a very personalized service and direct communication with him at all times for questions and updates. Once again thank you to this highly professional team!”

“Nato Vargas and his team did extensive drainage work for us in 2014. This involved taking down the soil level 4 inches in the back garden, digging and installing several french drains and a sump pump. Since then we've had no water accumulation during subsequent rainy seasons, protecting our foundation. The drainage works perfectly! Nato and team have come back twice, in 2017 and 2020, to repair and stain our back garden fence, resurface the gold fine decomposed granite paths, install a new mail box, replace a garden gate and build a wood shelter for our recology bins. Nato and his team do beautiful work!”
