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!

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.

I checked out their website where they provide photos of their various mulch products. I spoke with two different individuals, giving them a description of what I was looking for. I ended up deciding on "Premium Decorative Woodchip". I also paid for delivery. I was horrified when the mulch was delivered to discover that "premium" meant anything but. Terra Bella Nursery delivered 4 yards of shredded garbage. The so called mulch was filled with chunks of "pressure treated lumber" which is toxic, pieces of particle board, pieces of melamine covered furniture and painted wood. I called and spoke to a supervisor who said he would check on it and call me back. I never received a call back so I sent my boyfriend down to Terra Bella. The supervisor said they would never deliver that even though he was looking a a grocery sack full of the above mentioned filler that came out of my delivered pile. He said "premium wood chip" is chipped lumber. Clean unpainted untreated lumber not particle board and melamine would have been fine.Trying to be reasonable I agreed to buy a more expensive product understanding that mistakes can be made and understanding that I would paying the difference between the cost of the two materials and not paying another delivery charge as this was their mistake. He talked to his crew who disputed the evidence that was presented and the supervisor said he had to take their word. When invited to drive over and check for himself he declined. Long story short they did re-deliver the more expensive product which was acceptable but proceeded to charge me the full cost ($189.60) plus a new delivery charge and only credited me $51.70 of the initial $107.66. In addition they refused to pick up the "garbage" pile which resulted in more money to pay someone to remove it. No one wants mulch contaminated with pressure treated lumber, particle board glue and melamine to be around their children and pets. What a disappointment. Back to Walter Andersen for me.

The two painters worked very fast. Every area was covered and the hanging lights and fan loosened, to paint under them.

They are really good for fire prevention and brush clearing. Very clean company
Very nice and responsive. Good price left our yard spotless after all the trimming. Did a very nice job on Olive tree that hadn't been trimmed professionally in 20 years and 5 25 foot palms. Even the ugly bottle brush tree much nicer. We can't believe how much nicer our property looks.

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.

FAQs for brush chipping projects in Ramona, 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.

Mulch costs anywhere from $30 to $150 per cubic yard, depending on the type you choose. On the inexpensive end, red and black mulch are about $35 to $40 per cubic yard, and are typically made from recycled waste wood like shredded old pallets or deck material. Cedar, cypress, and rubber mulch cost anywhere from $100 to $120 per cubic yard. A pro can help you determine the type of mulch most suitable for your landscaping needs.
Yes, you will want to confirm that the tree removal company you hire is insured before proceeding with the job. Tree removal can be dangerous work, and it's important to verify that the company carries the proper insurance to cover any onsite accidents or damage.
