Replacement of old brick pathways with railings. Took them one week to finish. I am very pleased with the results.

Thx Gus and his team! We had crazy weed in our yards. Gus did an onsite check and helped us to remove them right after. Since we did a construction, those weed was there for almost a year. Gus spent more than 6 hours to cleaning them. And we truely appreciate his teams' effort and the quality of work!

Gustavo worked fast and efficiently taking down a small tree for me. He cleaned everything on the site before leaving. I was impressed by his work.

Very responsible and efficient, easy communication and good team.

Gus landscaped our small backyard in our ground floor condo. They removed 2 dead trees, planted a new one, replaced the top soil and laid ground cloth, new pebbles and a variety of small cacti, rocks and succulents. The work was done all in one day and the quality was exactly what we hoped for. Gus went out of his way to hit multiple nurseries looking for the particular cactuses we wanted. His team was fast and professional, and made sure we were happy with each stage of the work and the layout. The results speak for themselves.

Gus removed two trees from my yard. They were punctual, polite and professional. My gardener told me later that they were good because they clearly were careful not to trample nearby garden. I liked very much that they really cleaned up and left the worksite in very good shape. I got their business card so that I can call them for any future projects. Very satisfied.

"I recently hired Gus Landscaping and Construction for a landscaping project, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! The team did an excellent job, paying attention to every detail. They showed up right on time every day, which was a huge plus. The pricing was very reasonable, and they managed to stay well within the budget we had discussed. I reluctantly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and skilled landscaping services. I say reluctantly only because I know that he is now going to be too busy to fit me in for future projects!

Gus had a very reasonable price, punctual and completed the job quickly and on time

Neil F.Nov 2023

Gus and his team showed up right in time and did a very good job cleaning up a small mudslide for a very good price. I highly recommend Gus.

Roxana C.May 2023

Gus and his team were exceptional! They were hardworking, detail oriented, gave good value and very professional. They worked to the design specs we gave them putting in a circular center to our 14x 25 backyard patio and flanking with rectangles. They gave us good advice and worked on design details like sloping to prevent water build up and constructing the retainer. The end job looks great. As well they gave us great value for the amount of work they did. We recommend them highly.

We hired Gustavo for a project that involved converting a hilly patch of our property into usable yard space and we couldnt have found a better team to work on this project than Gustavo & his crew. By the time we contacted Gustavo, we had spoken to many many contractors and even about to close one. From the get go Gustavo was not only very responsive, willing to answer all our questions, but also, made us feel he really wants to get this project (unlike many that we had to chase even to get a quote). He gave us examples, shared references that we could speak with and came up with a competitive proce. He made us feel confident that we can rely on him with all the city permit inspections that was associated with the project which is why we hired him. We were not disappointed even once in the 4 weeks Gustavo and team worked on our project and completed it way ahead of the original schedule and within the budget we agreed on. This was a very tricky project that had cutting of a very rocky hill & two sides of the property along neighbors property. Gustavo and team were very hardworking, professional - showed up early in the morning without fail every single day, stayed until late and were very patient to address every need of ours. By way of guidance to owners hiring him, make sure you explain your project in detail and clearly, preferably in wiritng so there is no confusion. Gustavo takes time to ensure he gets all the details right and executs on them. In the end, we found Gustavo to be a very hardworking man who genuinely wants to do a good job, hone his craft and grow in his profession. Hire him for that, we know we will. Thank you Gustavo & team for bringing our dream project to life and creating a space that our family will cherish for years to come! 🙏🏼

On budget, timely, did an exceptional job removing floorboards and adding an epoxy coat to our mudroom. Can't say enough good things. Gus did good work making a clean caulk seal between baseboards for a liquid-proof setup.

Gus and his team did great work renovating my backyard. Gus was very responsive to my messages and he accommodate my small tweaks here and there. The workers are professional and hard working, they completely changed my backyard in just two weeks. Now I can finally enjoy my refreshing backyard space. One thing I would recommend to people who would like to hire Gus is that make it clear what needs to be done at the beginning, preferably put on paper. Initially I thought the cost would include staining the deck, as I remember talking about it when Gus gave me the estimate. But later Gus said it was not included and would charge me $1000 for staining the deck. It came as a surprise to me and I ended up not staining my deck with Gus.

We had a great experience landscaping our backyard with Gus and his crew. They offered a competitive price, and were hard working, easy to work with, and open to feedback and suggestions. Gus was extremely responsive and willing to exchange ideas and accommodate our requests along the way. We had a design ready and they were able to implement it and transform our backyard into a beautiful landscape (including paver patio, concrete pathway, decking, planting, irrigation, etc). I would highly recommend them and looking forward to work with them again in the future.

Jennifer E.Feb 2022

We have a new construction house with bare yards. GUSTAVO and his team did a great job to build an attractive and drought-tolerant yards for our home. They always execute the design we like beautifully. They came to work on time and work with our budget.

Joselyn J.Oct 2021

Left to right, they’re doing good at pruning, cleaning!

Lauren O.Mar 2021

They did a great job at removing all of the weeds and overgrowth in both my back and front yards! Very thorough and clean work.

Matthew M.Jan 2021

I was super impressed with the quality of work they did. The walkway came out better than expected and looks beautiful. In addition, they were super punctual and professional. They finished the project ahead of schedule and were always there when they said they would be. In addition, they thoroughly communicated throughout the planning as well as during the project. I would absolutely book them again for any landscaping project I have and would encourage everyone to do the same.
