Since I had previously been very impressed with Salvador Gallardo / Authentic Landscape on an urgent repair for our leaking irrigation valve system, I called on him again for my long dreamed of overhaul of our entire front and back yard beginning May 22, 2024. He advertises "You can be sure that you will receive quality work with a personal touch" which is exactly what I needed. I had a rather vague plan and relied on his expertise to help develop my dream. The major goal was to completely remove all the turf, leaving only the trees, a grape arbor (which Salvador needed to redesign and expand), and a couple areas of plants. We used a turf replacement rebate and he and Jesus, plus his sons Christian and Jesse, spent 2 weeks digging out all the nasty weeds and a several-inch layer of dirt. Our irrigation system was converted to sprinklers for the garden areas and drip lines around the outer areas of trees and original landscape plants plus a new control unit. Some of the trees required some pruning also. It was fun working with Salvador to figure just where my front and back “gardens” and pebble pathways would go. We added slabs of flagstone around the front and back faucets and replaced the remaining area with shredded wood. Additionally, he replaced one entire gate and had to redesign and repair of my second gate. My back garden is essentially a lawn replacement of ground cover plants, and the front garden utilized a lot of succulents and several other plants dug out and from my pots plus lots of poppy seeds. We added some ground cover and a variety of other plants I found on clearance sales. We incorporated my collection of granite rocks, and I’ve continued detailing with decorative features to make my “Never Too Late For A Happy Childhood” theme garden with fairy, farm, lighthouse, and Santa and reindeer areas, lots of solar lights/fireworks, windchimes, spinners, toys and sculptures, While reasonably priced, it was an expensive project but, after 20 years of dreaming, so worth the smile I can’t quit. Obviously I continue to highly recommend Salvador and Authentic Landscape. The guys worked very hard and were a pleasure to have around. Being able to make well advised adjustments as work progressed was a great advantage to accomplishing my desires.

It went extremely well. Salvador is very skilled, professional, dependable, and easy to work with. He was able to take my vision and developed a plan for submission to the HOA. He and his crew were able to complete the work ahead of my timeline, and was very gracious with last minute changes to make sure we were happy. His concrete work and landscaping is beautifully done, and without any inconvenience. I have used Authentic Landscape Inc for three different locations, and they have been the most stress free business I’ve ever hired, hands down. He is reasonably priced where i don’t even make price comparisons anymore. For the work he does, so worth it, and so extremely happy. I’ve dealt with so much of the opposite…finally a blessing with Authentic Landscape Inc. wish I can share photos on here.

Salvador did a great job. We are very pleased with the outcome. We will hire him again if needed and will definitely recommend him to my friends. He is easy to work with friendly and always cleans up and kept us up to date everyday.

It went well. Salvador and team worked really hard and got my yard from nothing to something amazing in just 5 days. I highly recommend Authentic Landscape.

Salvador and his crew put in a new sprinkler system and sod after removing the old dirt. Our front lawn and sprinklers were destroyed after a septic system replacement. They are very professional and kept us informed of each step which included a rain delay.

Professional and affordable, work was completed within one week of contact. Results far exceeded my expectations.

I needed help with ideas on how to make my front yard: simple and low maintenance. Salvador helped me with some ideas to reach this goal. I appreciate the great communication and hard work. He was really patient and gave me an estimated timeline of the project. I love how the front yard turned out.

Once I contacted Salvador he was very quick to respond to texts, calls and all my questions. He got the job done promptly, professionally and quick. He cleaned up and it’s like he wasn’t there at all. I will use him for other projects!

These guys are fantastic! They executed the job exactly the way I requested. They showed up exactly when promised each day and communicated well for any weather concerns or potential delays with materials. This team worked hard all day every day until the job was completed to perfection! Quality costs, but worth every dime!

Beyond my expectations. They were on time everyday. Left everything clean when they left for the day. We made some changes. Long the way and Salavador was amazing and so accommodating on any changes that I wanted to make. I highly recommend them to anyone out of a scale of 1 to 10 they were a 15! So glad that I hired them!

Salvador was prompt, honest, very easy to work with, and very reasonably priced. He worked with the budget I had and did not pressure me to go over. I’m very happy with his work and would definitely hire him again!

Incredible. I got several quotes from the top rated landscapers in my area. Not only were they well above my budget but they encouraged me to forego several things to reduce cost. Mr Salvador helped me stay in budget and was able to hit everything on my list. In addition the communication was top notch. Every little thing I needed was met with a “no problem” and he delivered each and every time.

Salvador was great and excelled in every category. Design, communication, punctuality, focus, and quality. I would give him the highest rating. Will hire him again. I liked him and his crew very much. Thanks, Salvador!

Great! Professional and well done

Authentic Landscape did a wonderful job. They were professional and courteous. Our landscaping is absolutely beautiful and they were very reasonably priced for the amount of work that they did. 100% would hire them again.

Very knowledgeable and professional. Gave us a quote. Arrived with full crew and completed job on time for upcoming party we were having. Very nice and respectful. Couldn't ask for anymore. Thank you Salvadore!!

They had to reschedule the initial appointment, but once they were here they did a great job of diagnosing the problem and fixing it.

Great!!! I was impressed with Salvador and team. He paid attention to detail and when he wasn't satisfied with the one of the pavers, he removed the paver and installed a new one. I would and have recommended him to others, and I'd hire him again.

Great experience! Very professional. Worked with me on pricing and completed the job on schedule. I would definitely hire again.

We were in urgent need of repair service for a leaking irrigation valve system. When I called Salvador we scheduled an appointment the next day, June 10, 2021. He came promptly and did quick, exceptional work. He was willing to use the parts I supplied but when he showed me his recommendation at the same price, I accepted his expertise. He even advised my preferred approach that "if it ain't broke don't fix it" when I suggested replacing the diaphragms on all the other valves. So he replaced 2 valves completely and deferred making considerably more profit to my advantage. What a guy! I also especially appreciate that email communication is available. His advertised claim the "You can be sure that you will receive quality work with a personal touch" is absolutely true. Obviously I highly recommend Authentic Landscape/Salvador Gallardo. I will certainly call Salvador when I'm ready for redoing my landscape and irrigation system, and also fence.

I was thrilled with how the landscape turned out. Salvatore was a great designer and communicator. The team showed up when they said & left things neat at the end of the day. The design is really beautiful. I would highly recommend this company

Authentic Landscaping was highly professional and met all of our requirements and expectations. They were prompt to the work site and performed at a high level of workmanship and efficiency. Salvador met our customer service expectations by providing timely communication on all aspects of the project. He also provided some post project support to make sure we were satisfied with the final work effort. I highly recommend contracting with Authentic Landscaping!

Very well, neighbors stopped and commented

Salvador and his staff at Authentic Landscaping were outstanding. The work was high quality and at a reasonable price. They were very attentive to the needs and specific instruction from my wife and I on details and finishing. Salvador was a good communicator and kept me informed as to when he would be on site and what work he would be doing. Salvador and his staff followed all the Covid guidelines, including wearing masks while working, which was very comforting.

Started on time and were very professional. Pleased with end product.
