SHAPING & RESTORING LANDSCAPE

Peggy H.Jan 2022

Anselmo's company did a yard remodel for us. He gave us a good price and was very professional and patient with our scheduling needs, and the specifics of the work, (we made some changes in progress). It is a family operation and the whole crew was very nice and easy to talk to. Fernando was very conscientious about his work on our flagstone patio, along with his helper, Alex- they did a great job. Overall, these guys were just great to work with- they were respectful, polite and professional, which is what you want when someone is working on your home or yard. Definitely recommend.

This was a fantastic job, and was done quickly. I have a busy travel schedule, but the crew showed up and did the whole job in less than 3 days. I'm super happy with the result!

We had an appointment, discussed the project and I was promised a plan / quote. I unfortunately never heard back. Seemed like a good team to work with based on reviews.

Anselmo and his team were wonderful to work with! We trusted Anselmo's opinion and he was so helpful in creating/modifying our plans to accomplish our goals. We would certainly use Anselmo and his team again in the future.

Anselmo and his team did a pretty large and complicated backyard update for me. Including a pergola, outdoor kitchen, and extending my patio. They are full service. I appreciated that they were punctual, reliable and did great work. Would hire again.

Anselmo and his team were great to work with! They took care to ensure a quality work product. Anselmo was very communicative throughout the whole process and ensured we were involved in any necessary decisions along the way. We are so pleased with our new landscaping and will definitely be working with this team again for future projects!

Our large backyard sloped steeply, making it mostly unusable, hard to keep grass growing evenly, and a danger when operating a lawn mower. A retainer wall was needed to level it. After considering several "Thumbtack" site referrals, we contacted Shaping & Restoration Landscaping. The project included walls, walkways, stairs and grading. We researched the technology, reading many technical documents before contacting Anselmo, so we had some knowledge of the job. Anselmo responded quickly and answered our questions, some of which were involved. His communication, patience and flexibility were all excellent from the beginning, in sharp contrast to other responders who had little time to discuss and whose responses were short and imprecise. So we worked with Anselmo, whose crew consists entirely of his hard-working, long-time-experienced and very likeable family members. The project grew somewhat as it went on, and materials suppliers were hard to rely on, but Anselmo understood and adjusted with skill. He managed crew size based on material arrival. He educated us on best drainage practices, materials qualities and costs, and reliability and longevity of the result. He also understood our preferences and changes of heart, and took those in stride too. Anselmo himself not only has a wealth of technical knowledge and skill, he also has an excellent eye for detail and aesthetics. This too sets him apart from most tradesmen--he was as keen to achieve an amazing result as we were...and yet he did it efficiently with a superb work flow. With his additional understand of horticulture he was able to ensure that surrounding trees all would have what they needed, and he even replaced a few that needed replacing while he was at it. He creatively designed custom features of the project in his head and together they executed with no false steps. His crew (including his brother Fernando and all the others) are skilled, strong, honest and polite. They arrive in the early morning as needed, and work until dark if necessary to hit a milestone, so that things were queued up and ready for material arrival early the next day. I even worked side-by-side with Anselmo on a couple of small tasks and found him a great person to be around and a hard man to keep up with. He has the necessary equipment and can do it all--he follows through when we ask for something, and he's smart--he makes good decisions in advance that avoid concerns later in the project. He understands the importance of can-do communication with the client, no matter what. He finds a way. These guys are pros--they clean up the site, protect vegetation, and provide excellent value in every way. We’re very pleased with the result--best we've ever seen for miles around. We highly recommend Anselmo and his expert team. They are the best someone could ever find.

He gave me a fair price for the work and he and his team worked hard to complete the work in the time agreed upon. I would hire again
