Calvin and his team are terrific. We have used CCL twice for major landscape renovations including plantings, irrigation, hardscape (patio pavers, deck, hot tub) and both times we were very pleased with the results. They are responsive and always professional - Fernando's installation crew is great. The fact that several crew members we met during our 2017 job were still with CCL in 2022 says a lot. For the most recent job, CCL had to coordinate quite a bit with a pool resurfacing company, and though that was challenging (the pool company's communication and planning were poor), Calvin's team kept the job going and dealt professionally with the pool team. Neighbors of ours use Calvin's maintenance team and love them - I do my own maintenance for the most part, but have been very pleased with the occasional hedge trimming work CCL does for us. I highly recommend Calvin and his team!

Calvin Craig Landscaping did a fantastic job for us. The team of Marlene (design and plant expert) and Fernando (foreperson/implementation) turned our vague ideas for re-landscaping into a wonderful reality. We received a lot of good back and forth on design ideas and they were turned into project plans quickly. The project implementation team was fantastic - they arrived at the same time each day and worked really hard. At the end of each day, they spent a lot of time cleaning up and it looked spotless each and every day during construction. The project team was good at problem solving when they ran into unexpected things during some excavation. They provided good communication and quick response times throughout the entire project. The final product turned out really well.

Calvin Craig Landscaping undertook a huge backyard project for us. They did an exceptional job from the creative design capturing what we wanted to the professionalism and skills of their install Team. The customer experience is better than anything I’ve seen in a long time. They truly take care of you. Also, they don’t just leave to never be heard from. They follow up and if there’s any little thing that needs to be done, they proactively take care of it. Outstanding job! I highly recommend using them!

Calvin and his crew updated our 1960's landscape giving the house a fresh new look. The yard is the perfect combination of hardscape and plants. It looks lush while being water efficient and easier to maintain. They're great to work with - on time, on budget and deliver a lasting product. Thank you, Calvin & Co.

Marlene was absolutely wonderful to work with on the landscape design for our backyard! She was communicative, professional, patient and knowledgeable. We don't have a huge yard, but she helped us with ideas to help maximize the space and kept the design natural, just like we wanted. And she was great about incorporating some changes and making suggestions to help us along the way. I can't wait to see our new yard once the work is done.

Calvin and his team completed a massive, 1,000 planting restoration of our property in 2019. A complex project including all new irrigation, removal of lawns, installation of a large DG area with corten steel infinity edge reflecting pool and a series of hand-set granite retaining walls. Since completion the team has continued with maintenance, including restoring the productivity of a small vineyard. Photos of the project are included on the Calvin Craig Landscape Website.

We hired Calvin Craig Landscaping to completely overhaul our front yard and couldn't be happier. We worked with Marlene on a design through a series of meetings where we were able to brainstorm, provide feedback, and walk through her proposals - she captured what we were looking for and more! The crew who worked on the yard was amazing - they were kind, considerate and incredibly helpful (they even helped me carry a few large packages that had been delivered!). Marlene and/or Calvin visited the project at least 4 out of 5 days per week to make sure everything was going according to plan. The project finished on time and looks beautiful - we get compliments almost daily from neighbors AND delivery people. :)

Calvin Craig landscape has been a real pleasure to work with on the installation of our garden. They came in and immediately came up with solutions to save us money as the home owner. If anyone is considering doing a project with Calvin and his team we give him the highest grade for quality work at a fair price which is not easy to find in the Bay Area.

I used Calvin Craig Landscaping to redo my front and back yards. From the designs and planning thru construction, Calvin, Marlene, Jonathan and team did an amazing job and delivered on everything they said they would. Outstanding communication, provided great suggestions and excellent execution. They far exceeded expectations.

We were extremely pleased with our entire experience with Calvin Craig; from the initial estimate, to the consultation regarding the choice of design and plants, to the actual work itself, to the support during and after the work and subsequent maintenance. Our designer, Jonathan, worked very hard to accommodate our choices and to make changes to help us contain costs, and was willing to teach us how to do some of the work ourselves when we needed to save money. The crew worked very hard to complete the job, and did little extras for us, like getting rid of leaves, installing new plants in our front yard, and fixing our old gate, free of charge. I highly recommend their work.

Our project was handled professionally from beginning to end and we're very happy with the end result. Our front yard is absolutely beautiful! Their work is of the highest quality and everyone on the Calvin Craig team is extremely knowledgeable and more than willing to answer questions and accommodate special requests. Each phase of the project from the unique, thoughtful and creative landscape design to the installation of each individual plant reflects an experienced and cohesive team. We look forward to working with them again!
