Reviews in San Jose for Sod Installation
AAA GARDEN CTR INC
Some of the work they did was very good and some was very bad. The yard cleanup was done pretty well. I would describe the sod work as a "D". Their timeliness was unreliable and the quality of the sod was substandard. The quality of lying the sod was only average. I would not use them again for sod. They didn't show up when they said they would. I felt that some of the time I was lied to. They were originally a sod company and expanded into the nursery business. I could understand if they had problems with the nursery part but the problem was with the sod. They were too expensive for the sod work; they were overpriced. I would not use them again. The quality of the plants were good but the sod was bad. It was a very unpleasant experience

I called Maki as the work they did and the pricing from other reviewers seemed fair. The day they were supposed to come for the estimate, they were a no-show with no call to let me know. I followed up and he sent Sam Alusa. I negotiated a package of work and felt good about what was to be done. Throughout the project Sam kept telling me to 'trust him', as I continued to pay as he went. It was after the project was finished that I found out you don't have to pay more than a $1000 deposit for a contractor in the State of CA. This group was sloppy and left my project with several unfinished issues. There were 2 large cracks in my walkways within a week. Another long crack in the back patio. He said he guaranteed his work for a year and would fix everything. He has not fixed anything. My front porch, while it could have been cute, was left with cement marks all over the pavers because they didn't clean up. I can't fix that. The concrete is also dirty and won't clean off. They were sloppy. They took away most of the cement from my yard, but since they finished, I am constantly finding cement that was buried in various parts of my yard as well as garbage they left behind. They also buried the grass they pulled up instead of hauling it away. All of this was found as I was doing other projects. They poured a cement border around my yard which is crumbling away. They didn't use any sort of reinforcement in the cement for either the border or the patio, saying it wasn't a good idea in the event it needed to be fixed...well, a lot of good that did since they won't come back to fix it. The concrete that was poured for my patio slopes to the house, which will result in water in the house if I don't fix it. At the least I will spend another 4-5000 for a covered overhang as a possible fix. He charged me $1100 for sprinkler supplies to redo my system and may have spent $100. And I learned he didn't use anything that was new. The unit he used to connect the water to my pipes didn't have a pressure valve to prevent water from coming in the house if there was a problem. The piece he used was not up to code. I have already paid out $2000 to other contractors to repair the issues with my sprinklers and replace sod due to the sprinkler problems. Turns out this Sam guy didn't even give me his number, he gave me one of his workers numbers so I can't get in touch with him. I called Maki on 2 occasions asking to get this guy back to fix my work and never heard back. Maki states this wasn't his project, but I went through Angie's list for his services, not someone else's and I wasn't told that he sent it to another company who I now cannot locate. Maki, you need take ownership for this project and come back to fix it

New Image Landscaping
Very professional and arrived on time every day. We asked Sergieo to make a circle in the center of the lawn because we were going to move a bird bath into the circle. When we came back from doing some shopping we noticed that he and his helper had mover the bird bath for us. He went the extra mile.

DELTA BLUEGRASS COMPANY
I chose this company based on reviews elsewhere. The quality of sod delivered was excellent--attractive and freshly cut. The team that installed the sod knew what they were doing, and effectively installed into all the irregular curved shapes. The sod took well--everything was alive and well months later. I think it helped to have Delta Bluegrass people arrange the installation, because this reduced the time between when the sod was cut at their farm and when it was installed in my yard (a few hours later), which probably gives the sod the best start. Plus their installation people cost no more than any other choice

MARTIN GONZALEZ LANDSCAPING
Martin and hs team are amazing. I had three highly recommended landscapers provide proposals and most proposals came in at nearly the same amount. Martin's proposal was higher but he broke out every line item of work which allowed me to eliminate a few line items to bring the project within my budget. I chose Martin because he really knew what would work and not work. His recommendations were right on. The yard is not even complete (plants need to grow in) but the yard looks amazing. They really, really put in allot of hours and also brought the skiploader when they could not break up the old concrete like dirt piles. Again, the yard looks amazing! Martin also discouraged some plants I thought would be great because these plants want shade and when I went to the nursery, the nursery professionals said the same thing. He really know his stuff and I would highly recommend him. The downside is that a recommendation like this makes it more difficult to negotiate a lower rate. All in all, not the lowest cost provider but worth the extra money for lack of hassles, ability to communicate effectively, quality of work, and meeting schedules (caveat --- schedules don't matter when the weather changes). Unlike Yardcrashers, you can't lay sod in 2 days. Martin explained that it takes a week or more to prepare a yard for sod. He was right. They soild needs to be prepared and cultivated for awhile, along with rolled and allowed to settle, then fill again. The result is a yard that is so flat and perfect it looks like a professsional baseball field. Trully gorgeous

Hansen Landscape Contractor
I had four landscapers that I interviewed. Steve Hansen provided the best overall to me in customer-client relationship, vision for design and professionalism. He offered ideas to help with the cost of the project. The project was done in stages. Everything was removed from the backyard with the exception of five trees/shrubs. The project took about six weeks or so to complete. Concrete went in first and then electrical. The backyard was leveled and the irrigation installed. Boulders were delivered and paths laid out. Plants, trees and sod installed and finally the rock paths finished. Everything went very well. Hansen has been in business for 30 years and it shows. He has everything fine-tuned for the workers and clients. I really appreciated the hard work the guys put in every day they were here. Jack, the foreman, kept me apprised of every detail. The crews cleaned up meticulously at the end of each day. It went beautifully and I am extremely satisfied!!

PAZMANY BROTHERS
Pazmany Bros. Landscaping was the low bid. I was concerned that I might get a less than perfect result. In retrospect, I should not have been concerned. They used all the correct materials and the installation was VERY professional. Young Peter Pazmany responded to my email queries within a day and visited the site daily to make sure I was satisfied and that the work was proceeding on schedule. All of the workers were pleasant and eager to "get it right". I give high marks to this company and would use them again. This is criitical because I have VERY high standards

Highland Landscape
My wife and I hired Highland after interviewing Lee and receiving bids from him and two other highly-rated contractors. We wanted to build our backyard into a wildlife-friendly area that would attract birds and butterflies and give us a place to relax after work and on the weekends. We chose Lee because he responded quickly to our initial request, we liked the man, and we preferred to work with a very small company. We were not disappointed. Lee and his small crew started work almost immediately and were very professional throughout the job. Due to the large amount of work, very heavy rains for several weeks, and the small crew, the job took longer to complete than we had anticipated (took about 7 weeks). However, the pace allowed us to consult with Lee and make small changes and decisions that improved on the original design. Lee offered many good ideas and was always willing to accommodate our wishes. At one point, a small misunderstanding left us unhappy with the height of the deck steps that were being framed (half the joists were already nailed in place). Lee removed the joists that were already in place and adjusted the height of the post supports. This was done with little hesitation and made us see how willing Lee was to be sure that we were happy with the final product. The permitting requirements of the City of San Leandro are very strict Due to our deck height and the height of our roof eaves overhang, the original design we had planned for the pergola could not be permitted. We were ready to forego the pergola structure, but Lee worked for days sketching out different designs and helping us see that, with small changes, the pergola could be permitted and built. We are so glad that he made this extra effort because we really enjoy the structure

Roco's Gardening & Arroyo Vista Landscaping
They are fantastic and did a beautiful job. They showed up on time, gave excellent advice and did more than we expected -- which was better for what we wanted; it was great. We had to have the sewer dug up and they came back and fixed where they dug up, which was amazing. They did a beautiful job. I was there on and off and they were pleasant to work with. Even before they got the bid they had one of their guys draw out how they would do the raised gardens in the side yard, which was something we could do on that side. They did not charge us for this so I thought they went above and beyond to get us what we wanted

IMS LANDSCAPE & MAINTENANCE
I am very happy with IMS. Andrea and Alberto are both a pleasure to work with. Every task has been completed professionally with no mess left behind. After some bad experiences with other contractors who did not correctly estimate the job, show up on time, or and clean up after themselves, it was a real relief to find IMS. The first job we had them do was yard cleanup for our new house. Alberto came out and estimated the work. On the day the work was done, he came out and directed the workers and returned to check on their progress. Two extremely old, out-of-control lemon trees were trimmed to a classic rounded shape and the dead growth in the ferns and perennials surrounding the lawn was removed. The overgrown camelia was trimmed back to reveal the kitchen window and shaped. We have had them do lawn maintenance on both our new and old homes. In addition to mowing, the workers also clean up yard debris so the yard truly looks cared for. Finally, we had a sprinkler system and new sod installed. Alberto advised us on how to set up the sprinkler system so that we could provide the correct irrigation for a flower bed, a window box, and our lawn. After each job, all debris is neatly piled and ready for pickup by the weekly recycle program. I highly recommend IMS

Vince's Landscaping Inc
Overall the work was very good. Vince's crew was professional. Most of the work was completed while we were at work. When I returned home at the end of the day, the only sign that they were there was the completed work. The crew thoroughly cleaned the area at the end of each work day. I waited several months to submit the report because I wanted to see how the job would look once the newness had worn off. The yard still looks great! We had one issue. After a couple of months, the automatic sprinkler that Vince installed stopped working. I contacted Vince. It took a couple of weeks before someone came out to check on the problem but the repair was made at no cost to me. I would hire Vince's Landscaping again

Lee's General Landscaping
I checked the list and found Lee's and another landscaper and called them both on a Sunday afternoon. Lee got back to me first thing Monday morning and came out to see the situation. The other guy never responded. I told Lee my budget and we quickly agreed on a price. Lee and two others started at 8am the next morning and were finished by noon. They brought every thing they needed on the first trip and took away all the refuse. My wife was thrilled to come home from work and see a fantastic looking new front lawn. We have always kept our landscape looking as good as we can but it has never looked this good. Several years ago I had a similar sized area re-sodded in the back yard (by another firm that I will never use again),and had to live with piles of sod and a large pile of topsoil partially blocking the sidewalk for over a week so I really appreciated Lee's quick and clean work. Wish I had found him 10 years ago

San Jose, CA
Recent Review:
We interviewed 4 other landscape firms before hiring Gaska. They did an outstanding job. They took a very simple approach and focused on getting the job done, rather than doing more or creating a larger job than was needed. We'll be calling them again the next time we need any kind of landscape or sprinklers or similar kind of work done

He wrote what he was going to do, and he is going to put in sod and he will follow up on that. We are having a drought right now, so I have to wait to get the work done. The estimate was very close to other peoples. I went with him because he wrote up a great contract.
