My husband and I are thrilled with our new backyard! From the beginning Andrew understood our needs and worked on a design that would give us more usable space for our family gatherings. Andrew is jus wonderful to work with! He is attentive to your needs and concerns and has an incredible vision for hardscape design and landscape. Once the design was done, they had to demolish existing cement and level our whole backyard to have more usable space. They installed pavers, lighting, gas lines for our fire pit and grill and landscape. It all came together even better than we ever imagined! The whole team was led by our project manager, Alvaro, who is a pleasure to work with. Every worker that was brought in was professional, punctual, and tidied up before they left for the day. Alvaro was always responsive and accommodating with the changes that we thought needed to be done along the way and still the project was completed on time and within the budget. We wish we could give more than 5 stars and cannot recommend this company enough! Hiring California Smartscape was the best decision we could have made and one we will enjoy for many years to come!!

California Smartscape was recommended to us by our contractor, and when he recommends someone they are good. We were not disappointed. The team was great, working with us to create a plan for our entire yard, staying within our budget and being flexible on timeline. They were readily available for questions as we were in process and the final look is stunning. We get so many compliments from our neighbors, and have given two of them the name of the company as they want to use them as well. Highly recommend!

California Smartscape, Shayna, Leo and Ruben’s crew were amazing, professional, responsive and thorough. The work finished on time and within budget, accommodating needed timely changes and the outcome is a lovely well integrated landscape with an affordable balance of hardscape. I highly recommend the company and it was a pleasure to have a major project accomplished so smoothly.

California Smartscapes brought our imagination to reality all within our budget and time request. Our San Marcos, CA Modern/Contemporary space came out exactly how we pictured it. Despite the COVID19 setbacks, they pushed through on time and very professionally. The project manager (Leo) paid great attention to detail and made sure we were satisfied all the way through. Great company!

When I saw the vision Shayna the designer at California Smartscape had, I had to make it into my backyard paradise. Sal, Rafa and the team were thorough and dedicated in making the vision a reality. I will enjoy this backyard for years to come! The last day, a house inspector was over and he noted how clean they worked and what a quality job they had done. He asked them for their business card so he could refer them business. He is somebody who would know and probably the greatest recommendation right there!

My wife and I hired California Smartscapes to complete a 100,000 plus landscaping job at our home in Bay Park. As you can tell by the photos it turned out amazing! In fact, it turned out better than we could have anticipated. The guys were very professional and their effort and work ethic was first class. We are excited to spend our weekends and nights outside BBQing, enjoying the fire pit and watching sports! I will say there is no one more excited than our labradooble, Callie! Now, all she wants to do is be outside playing ball on the grass 🙂 Thank you all for making our home complete!

The team at California SmartScape is amazing! We could not be more thrilled with how our patio, pergola, and grill area turned out. Andrew and Sal had great ideas for perfecting the design, materials, and layout of our space. They finished the project on their exact projected timeline. The workmanship was excellent. We are so grateful for their ideas throughout the process – many details they suggested have dramatically enhanced the utility of the space (e.g., adding a water filter to the sink, choosing a larger fridge). We highly recommend California SmartScape!

We are so pleased with our new backyard! We have so much more usable space, and less grass to water. Andrew was awesome to work with for the design aspect. Saul and his crew did an amazing job – hardest working guys I have ever seen. They demolished an existed cement patio, installed pavers, moved 2 big pygmy date palms, installed gas lines, put in new drip system, installed new sod. We had a few plants not make it and they were quick to get them replaced. We highly recommend California Smartscape and will use them again when we do our front yard.

We have nothing but great things to say about California Smartscape. They transformed our outdoor space. Our property abuts a canyon, so we only had a narrow area to work with. They designed and built a meandering lighted path of plants, rocks, and pavers, leading to a fire pit circle on one end and a patio and raised deck on the other end. The deck can be accessed from either the patio or the master bedroom. They also reconfigured the front entrance to permit new stucco walls, with a wrought iron gate, separating our driveway from entry into the property
Andrew was an amazing designer! He listened to what we wanted, and gently steered us away from things he felt would not work well. He and I went to a nursery just to “window shop.” He listened to my priorities (low fuss native plants and color) and noted everything I liked. He steered me away from things that would require more maintenance that I was willing to do. He answered our questions in a timely way throughout (and even after) the project.
Sal was an incredible project manager. He was onsite regularly and was always responsive when specific issues arose. We made some design changes as the project unfolded and everyone was open to these modifications. The crew, headed up by Tony, worked diligently and the project started on time and even ended a bit earlier than planned. There were no surprises in cost overruns.
We recommend California Smartscape without any hesitation!
