We were referred to the Company and after checking out the reviews here and elsewhere, we all met with Richard (an owner) and Jesse (designer) on site to discuss our desires and dreams. After meeting with us, they went back to the think tank and developed a overall design plan using software that allowed for an incredible visual complete with our dog and the two of us in the spa. Back at their office we later reviewed the design and the detailed cost proposal. We had a general idea of what some of the major additions would cost so our sticker shock was not life threatening. You usually get what you pay for and this company did not disappoint us.
Throughout the project I would meet with Leo each morning to make sure I knew what was going on and to express any concerns that I had. Leo was very polite and understanding of what I am sure are very common questions and concerns of homeowners. Like I explained, they do this all the time but for the homeowner this is a one time deal so you want to make sure that you address the issue before the execution because some things are irreversible. For those days the construction of enhancing the patio support beams and building the spa "patio" roof, I would also talk with Blake who was also informative and polite.
Besides these daily journeys into the world of construction, each week Richard, Bridget, Jesse and Eliel would meet with us at our house for a progress meeting and go over any concerns we had and equally important listen to the additional things that we would like to have done. Our questions and concerns were answered quickly in person, by phone, text or email.
There is quite a bit of natural stone in our oasis and it was amazing to watch the craftsman cut and chip and grout slabs of stone into such a masterpiece. Eliel and Leo were absolute gems to work throughout the construction process to give us the oasis we have today. Each night the crew would clean and put away all their tools and materials as orderly as possible.
Overall we are very pleased with the entire construction process and the visual outcome and would highly recommend this company to people who want a high quality job understanding that quality requires a fair price. None of us work for free and quality design, construction and installation is no different.
Thank you to California Smartscape and especially everyone who worked on our project!
Tim responded to our request for a bid in a timely manner. He showed up on time and told us in detail what the cleaning process was and what we could expect when finished. He did not pressure us and was very helpful with all the questions asked. We had not thought to spend that much money for carpet and tile cleaning, but when the process was explained we decided the results would be worth the cost.
We were delighted with the work. The carpet was clean and fresh smelling and I didn't recognize my kitchen floor it was so clean. I had tried to clean the tile on my hands and knees with bleach and a scrub brush to get the embedded dirt out of the grout and tile and it didn't look much better than when I started. They used a hot steamy water solution and all the dirt was gone. When Tim and his partner were finished he told me call if there were any problems at all and they would come back and make it right. There was also a follow up call to make sure we were happy with the job. A few days after that two brownies arrived at our door as a thanks for our business.
We would not hesitate to hire them again would feel confident in recommending them to anyone needing their services.

We are not knowledgeable about such things so we just took him at his word. He also talked us into letting them paint our front porch, which is concrete. I regret that decision because the paint peeled and chipped fairly quickly. I did request references from MHP and actually went to see a few houses he had painted. I rang the doorbell of one in my neighborhood and asked if they were happy with the company. I should have been leery when the male homeowner vacillated, hesitated, and then finally said, "I guess so." But his house looked nice.

The job was performed with attention to detail and very thorough. His method of using the roto brush appears far superior than carpet cleaners that use steam and vacuum equipment.

"Jeremy is knowledgeable about plants but lacks integrity.

FAQs for brush chipping projects in La Mesa, CA
Topsoil costs from $12 to $55 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. For example, screened black dirt will cost about $15 per cubic yard. Loam (soil composed of sand, silt, and clay) costs about $17 per cubic yard. Standard screened topsoil costs about $20 per cubic yard. The type of topsoil you need depends on your landscaping plans.
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
