Rescom Landscaping, Inc.

Paul and Tim were easy to work with and very flexible; old school honest business and they were always easy to get a hold of. They did what they said they would and their crew was ALWAYS on time and cleaned up after themselves. They are "can do" kind of guys and keep their word. I enjoyed working with them.

Rescom totally redesigned my backyard and I am very happy with the result. It’s beautiful and guests are always complimentary about the peaceful atmosphere that was created. The plants have all thrived with little additional care from me. The workers showed up on time and were friendly and accommodating. I can definitely recommend Rescom.

Paul was great. He and Tim were very persistent about gaining my business and were professional in their execution. They had a timeline and ideas for my project. The job was completed on time and on-budget. The concrete patios are great, sprinkers and lighting keep me from having to manage. My neighbor saw the work and commented that she thought it looked like a magazine photo. I love the new back yard, wish I had done this earlier. Thank you, RESCOM.

It has been over 18 months since Rescom completely remodeled our entire backyard. It included new pavers, large Italian styled pergola , 16 foot barbecue island, lighting , drains and new planters. We had landscape architect draw up plans which I highly recommend. The crew of Rescom was at our house EVERY day working to complete the job and did it on time. We continue to get glowing compliments from our guests. Paul(owner) was great to work with as we made changes along the way. His people are craftsmen and know how to custom make your yard to your wishes. It is as if we added a whole new entertainment area. I highly recommend Rescom for any landscape work you need. He was also competitive in his pricing. I also think this work added much value to our house.

ResCom Landscaping Review Clients: Adams, Yorba Linda We are extremely satisfied with the extensive work completed by ResCom on our backyard redesign project. We are very experienced with completing complicated landscaping projects on our own yet the scope and desired completion date of this project meant we needed to contact out the job to a qualified contractor. After working for a year with a landscape architect to develop the plans, we interviewed and accepted project bids from three large landscaping contractors. We knew the project required handling very large boulders and many tons of other smaller rocks. It was not the standard basic backyard project and would require someone who either had matching experience or the demonstrated ability to bring skills to the project which would yield a quality finished product lasting for years. After lots of phone calls and detailed questions, we decided to work with ResCom Landscaping. ResCom was honest that they had not worked on a project exactly like ours but given their demonstrated skills, would have no problem resolving any issues which may occur. Their proposals on dealing with the movement and seating of the large boulders as well as the incorporation of other natural materials showed us their ability to handle our project. We knew going in that we wanted a contractor who would work closely with us as much of the details were to be fleshed out as the project moved along. We felt confident when we chose ResCom that they were the right fit and they proved that to be true. ResCom, throughout the project, continually showed that they were willing to work with us to provide the quality and detailed look we were seeking. Paul, the owner, and Tim, the project manager, brought their expertise and highly skilled team members to work on this project. If they did not have an immediate answer to one of our questions, they researched it and brought back solutions for discussion. They never responded with the “trust me” reply so often heard from other contractors. As with most large complex projects, not all goes to plan and changes and adjustments occur. How those “bumps in the road” are handled is what matters. ResCom responded quickly to any issues which arose and resolved them with a focus on providing a quality product for years to come. Throughout the 4 ½ months of the project, we developed a strong relationship with Paul, Tim, and their amazing crew members. They became part of our family. When the project was completed and they no longer appeared every morning, the backyard seemed so empty. ResCom is a wonderful organization full of people who enjoy their work and take pride in what they do. The project also required some subcontractors for engineering plans, the pool retrofit/re-plaster, garden house build, electrical, and painting. To meet those subcontractor needs, Paul suggested individuals who he had experience with and would be well qualified. He would then set up a time for us to meet the subcontractor to discuss specific details and confirm we were happy with their costs and qualifications. This was perfect for us as it avoided a subcontractor who might be a poor fit as we would also be working with them at times. Although ResCom, as the main contractor, was responsible for the subcontractor’s work as part of managing the project and insuring that it was completed within the projected time frame. ResCom personnel were on site every day. Paul and/or Tim arrived with their crew at 7 am to determine the overall scope of work. The task-specific crew members and crew leader were on site from 7 am to 3:30 pm every day and often on Saturday. No matter their specific job, all of the individual crew members took pride in their work, demonstrated a desire to work together with each other and with us. Nothing was done just to finish it up and move on but rather to provide a quality finished product. Given the project complexity, some changes and refinements occurred which resulted in agreed upon both debit and credit change orders. The project comprised a redesign of the all but the outside edges of a one acre backyard. The project’s initial focus was to retrofit a leaking older pool/spa and to reduce our water use by replacing extensive grass with hardscape and non-water use features. Much of the existing backyard was redone while leaving in place a redwood gazebo, a large tiered garden, the patio/barbecue area next to the house, both side landscaping areas, three small sections of grass, and all of the mature trees on the property. After working with a landscape architect, plans were completed which entailed: the refurbishing of a 1987 built pool/spa with granite veneer and large natural boulders seated within the coping edge; moving and replacing the existing basketball court; adding a 22’ x 22’ solid roofed shade structure with outdoor gas fireplace and connected new patio areas; adding a gas fire pit; adding a 10’ x 18’ garden house with granite veneer walls; adding over 160 linear feet of dry riverbed; and adding sidewalks to connect the features incorporating three bridges needed for dry riverbed crossings. The entire project was designed as a reflection of the High Sierras and as such involved over 52,000 lbs. of boulders ranging in size from 300 lbs. to 1800 lbs., 54,000 lbs. of granite river rock in 3 sizes, and 69 tons of pea gravel. We also incorporated natural granite veneer to face the garden house, the fireplace unit, the fire pit, seating wall, and pool back-splash. Flagstone, of the same type as the boulders, was used around the pool and pool coping as well as within the patio area under the shade structure. Both the shade structure and the garden house have a metal standing seam roof. This was a project out of the norm for a backyard redesign as it included so many individual components. It also involved such a large volume of owner selected rocks and boulders which had to be brought onto the property from the street while not damaging the existing landscaping close to the house. The long winding dry riverbed involved the placement of large boulders as well as the incorporation of five other sizes of various rocks in an effort to simulate a natural high altitude stream. Thanks to ResCom’s expertise, the final project came together beautifully and resulted in a stunning backyard that mimics the natural flavor of the High Sierras while providing us with additional outdoor features to gather together with family and friends. ResCom Landscaping’s willingness to “stretch” was the perfect choice for our needs and we would highly recommend them and their team to anyone.

We hired Rescom after a thorough evaluation of several house remodeling contractors in the area. We were impressed with Rescom even during our bidding period; they showed interest in the work regardless of the size of the job (other contractors showed disinterest after realizing it was not a full-backyard remodel), provided recommendations to help us make the most of our budget, and showed great professionalism. Their bids came in lower than most other contractors, their reviews were very positive, and their proposed schedule was better than others. The work began right on schedule; Rescom workers were always on time every morning (some of them, to avoid traffic, would arrive early and wait outside in their cars until it was time for them to "clock in", which was impressive to me). They were very professional, hard-working, respectful and worked with integrity. The project manager would come in every day at different times to check on the progress and the work. Things moved along right on schedule and within budget. Paul was very attentive to our needs and went the extra mile to ensure we were satisfied with the work being done. He even researched a special stone -hard to find- to match the existing one in our backyard, and made sure it was installed using the same pattern that the existing -something it was not in our RFP and was provided to us at no extra charge, which showed us they cared for us. Something else that was very impressive to me -for which I had read reviews on- is that every afternoon prior to the workers departure for the day, they would clean up their entire working area, organize all their materials in such a way that is well worth noting. Bottom line, the project was completed ahead of schedule, within budget and with a quality that surpassed our expectations. My husband and I were extremely happy with the results. We recommend Rescom 100%!

Rescom was hired to do approximately $40,000 in landscaping, mostly planting of new soft-scape including roses, Italian cypress, bay laurel, eugenia, mondo grass, rosemary, bird of paradise, hydrangas, fruit trees, grass and etc., as well as the appropriate dirt and yard preparation for such an undertaking. To do the massive amount of work we expected irrigation to be installed or altered from what we had so the new investment in landscaping would thrive. With this investment we expected professionals who could plant and do irrigation properly, now almost a year later we have learned Rescom did not know what they were doing. Rescom was never able to locate the main valves for irrigation and never adjusted it. Never replaced the old, inadequate timer or re-wired anything. Much of what was planted has since died due to improper planting (IE. too low or too high) or irrigation (IE. too dry or too wet). The front yard looks like a mis-mosh of plantings because they have not grown and filled in as we were lead to believe would happen. The Team we were forced to work with was a little short tempered and sensitive to any input or complaints we registered. The same people were responsible for selecting the plants and trees for the yard and their selection was weak at best. Ultimately the owner had to step in due to attitude of some of his Project Managers. In addition, we had requested specific roses and Rescom was just going to try and match colors as best they could rather than locate the proper roses as roses are specified for odor as much as color. We were able to locate the roses for Rescom. We will state the owner, Paul, is a very nice man, he just does not have the crew or expertise to be doing this kind of landscaping in our opinion. Instead of getting better with age and maturity our yard looks worse than when we began, after spending close to $40,000! We did not have Rescom do any hard-scape work or anything like that so we cannot speak to their abilities with those aspects of their business.

I have a modest condo with a large outdoor front patio area that was very underutilized and dated with aging tiles and planter beds with messy and decaying trees. Rescom helped me design a new concept to use the space as an extension of the square footage by replacing the entire existing patio with decorative pavers. The workers were polite and accommodating and Rescom delivered exactly what they quoted and on schedule.
