Newland Landscape

I had 2 big projects to complete. 1- replace a dated, very noisy, leaking waterfall in our courtyard with a Stackstone water wall. 2 - build a BBQ in what was once a termite infested seating area. I researched online and found the online reviews of Newland were very good which helped me short list them. What set Roland apart from all other contractors I interviewed was he really LISTENED to what I wanted and was very collaborative in the design process. He didn’t try to talk over you nor was he pushy in anyway, he was exceptionally professional. His quote was inclusive, and all items clearly called out…no surprises! Roland’s team was very friendly, professional and did excellent work. The showed up between 7:30-7:45 and were at it by 8:00 AM every day. At end of each day, they cleaned up and left the work area spotless. I was incredibly impressed with how his team was able to build the stack stone water wall blending it into 30 year old existing stack stone and make it look seamless. You can’t tell the difference where the original stack stone wall was and where the new begins. It simply looks incredible. The BBQ area required a lot of remediation work; replaced dry rot wood, hot mop and replace flagstone. Additionally, we needed to reinforce the deck with 3 concrete posts and a girder to accommodate the added weight of the BBQ (which has a polished concrete top). We finished the face of the BBQ area with stack stone and the countertop with a ½’ glass windbreak. Looking at the area, you would think the BBQ had been built right along with the deck, it blends in so nicely. I’m delighted with how it came out. I cannot say enough great things about how my projects turned out and of my experience with Roland and the team at Newland Landscape. They are a true pleasure to work with and the quality of their work is without compare. If you need a job well done, then you need to use Newland Landscape.

Unbelievable!! Extremely unprofessional and disrespectful of our time! Called to set up an appointment for the initial consultation. Roland showed up a little late after we called to confirm if he was still going to show up. The consultation went well and we received the project estimate that evening. Estimate was signed and we had scheduled for the signing of the contract, for the same week. On the day the contract was to be signed (Tuesday) and the initial deposit to be paid, we waited, texted and called Roland because he didn't show up as scheduled. An hour later he text messaged us to say he forgot to schedule us on his calendar. Sure, mistakes happen. We gave him another chance and made an appointment with him to come out on Friday, the same week he missed the first appointment. Here we are on Friday, and no Roland. Not a call. Not even a text message. At least have the decency and courtesy to let us know he didn't want to take on our landscaping project, which is not a small job. Had we not read the positive reviews left for Newland Landscape, we would have dismissed him after the first no show and NOT given him a second chance. He was disrespectful of our time especially since had to take time off work. Luckily, we hadn't paid him the deposit and only lost the time we had invested. Newland Landscape = FAIL!! We can only conclude that we became his backup project which he could just easily drop when he gets a bit busy. Think twice whether you want to put yourself in such position when you are reading the other seemly nice reviews here!

We started our project by interviewing a few contractors and hiring a landscape consultant. Because we wanted specific work done that was less prevalent in backyards of our neighborhood, we did not hire any of these initial choices since we weren't confident. Then we came across Newland Landscape through reviews and photographs and made contact. Without delay Roland visited with us and conceptualized our plans early on. Upon completion of our design sketch, we received a comprehensive quote with pricing we were agreeable to based on the comparisons we had already made in the market. And in the end, the costs were true to the quote, with no nickel and dime expenses such as set up and cleaning fees. During our summer construction, demand was high, keeping contractors busy juggling various jobs. Newland Landscape stayed focused with our project and worked consistently to move it along. Estimated project schedules were met as promised. Whenever an issue arose or a slight alteration needed to be made, expertise helped to get through these challenges easily - resulting in the best of decisions. The results of our vision becoming a reality are spectacular. We ended up with a unique landscape which we are very pleased with, which is now established for long-term enjoyment. Our many thanks to a hardworking, professional and considerate crew who created this beautiful setting to enhance our property and provide a wonderful view from inside and out.

Very efficient and good work. Very Accommodating to our requests and specifications. Everything turned out great. I only wish we could have picked our grout color for our wood look tiles, would have wanted to go darker than what was provided. Highly recommend.

We love all the work that Newland Landscape did for us! I truly can't say enough about Roland and his company. Newland Landscape planted succulents , installed drip irrigation, and LED lights throughout our front and back yards. Not only did the work come out beautifully, his crew was so professional. All of his employees were such a pleasure to have working on site. Thank you!! Can't wait to have you guys back for pavers and turf installation.

Our project included acquiring, placing, and planting mostly California native plants in our front yard; terracing, adding grape trellises and planting our side slope; and adding flagstone walk ways in the front and back yards of our Nellie Gail fixer upper. The work was done on time, within budget, and met our quality and appearance expectations. The work was completed in the winter of 2016 and when the heavy 2017 rains caused bowing of the pressure treated wood on our slope, Roland came back and corrected the problem at no cost to us. Very professional owner and company.

Roland and his crew were so terrific to work with. They did an excellent job and were very responsive. They were careful of my property and always responded to my requests. They were just so easy to work with. Roland was extremely pleasant and affable. They followed my landscape designer's plans and provided great suggestions to make it even better, which they incorporated I love the result.

We had Newland demo our old landscaping and install drought tolerant plants. We are thrilled with the way that our yard turned out. From the start, Roland listened to our wishes and was very helpful in providing ideas, alternatives, and good advice. He was very helpful in providing updated plans to present to our HOA. He was able to find paver stones to match our originals. He even offered an excellent suggestion to blend the new with the old. The rainy winter delayed our start. Once the project got underway, we were very impressed with the excellent work ethic of Roland’s crew. They arrived promptly, were diligent at their tasks, and cleaned up the worksite each day. They were very helpful and friendly. While the project was being implemented, we asked for several modifications to our initial plan. Roland was very accommodating and again offered us good advice and great options. We are very pleased with our yard and really happy with our decision to use Newland. So that you know, we shopped our project around, read reviews, visited sites, and compared pricing. Newland clearly provided the most value, and we are happy to report that his work turned out to be first-class. We definitely would use Roland and his team again.

We had recently worked with a landscape designer to come up with a plan for a total softscape renovation of our front and back yards. We contacted Roland to get a quote for the actual work needed to be done. From the beginning, he was very knowledgeable and responsive. His quote was also very fair and competitive. From start to finish, the project was painless. Roland and his staff were professional, efficient, and hard working. The project was delayed only about a week from the initial estimated timeline, however that was unavoidable due to bad weather. His staff even worked double time to get everything finished just in the nick of time, within hours, of an backyard dinner party they were aware was going to occur in a specific date. The end product is beautiful and well done. We've received numerous compliments on it. We would highly recommend using Newland again and again.

After seeing the fine work done for one of my neighbors. I gave Roland a call to get a quote on enlarging our patio and tiling it. He suggested replacing the existing concrete due to the many cracks and unevenness. his quote we thought was very reasonable for the scope of work. Demo the concrete, new yard drains, new larger concrete base and sidewalk with re-bar and install tile over 700 sq. ft. We were glad we listened about the concrete. They found no footings under the patio cover posts. His crew corrected that problem immediately the first day of demo. His team was always polite, on time and worked at the tasks at hand. Cleaned up everyday before leaving. The project was completed on time per the contract and exceeded our expectations. Roland has a very professional group of people for the company. Great Job!

We have been more that satisfied with Roland & his men on the projects completed. We look forward to future work that we will be having done.

My neighbor and I hired Roland to replace a wood fence with a stone wall, as well as install two gates. Roland and his team did a great job! They completed the project within the timeframe they promised and the final result was exactly what we were expecting. Roland was very quick to respond, when we called with questions and was very open to the minor changes we made during the project. I would definitely recommend Roland for future projects and will hire them again for my future landscape projects.
