MC Landscaping just did a major overhaul on our front yard. A completely new driveway, a low-water parkway, all new drought-tolerant plants in the flowerbeds, new sprinklers and a drip... read more system with RainBird controller, and a Marathon Sod front lawn. Marcus was very good about helping us explore our options in the planning stages, and up front about the 5-week wait to start the project. There was some additional delay due to bad weather, but then they came with an army and work progressed quickly. The whole project was completed in a week. Leo the foreman oversaw all the work and made sure everything was done to our satisfaction. He even programmed the RainBird controller for us. Even our neighbors commented on how diligent and efficient the crew was.
Five Stars for a job well done.

And also a big part of my design request was to have an evergreen tree that would provide some privacy from my neighbors. Now that it's winter it is obvious that the tree they put in is definitely not evergreen. It's just a bunch of sticks right now as all the leaves fell off, not providing any privacy at all. So those two things have caused me to reduce my star from 5 to 4.

Marcus of MC Landscaping gave a great presentation to our board of directors, came in as the low bid out of 5! The quality of work was excellent and required... read more very little onsite supervision on my part. They executed the plan in logical steps from root removal, soil removal, soil enrichment, grading, planted in excess of 100 plants, installed a drip irrigation system and mulch. The large frontage project was completed on time and on budget. I am very pleased with MC Landscaping overall.

Thank you MC Landscaping!
11/14/2023Silvia Gabriela L.MC landscaping did a great job in my backyard. I had ask around on prices and read reviews from other companies and I end up going with MC landscaping and... read more they didn't disappoint. From the beginning Marcus came to my house to see my backyard and talk about what I had in mind and gave me a rough estimate. Then I met up with the designer who came took pictures, talk about what I had in mind and she suggested better things that enhance the project! Marcus was great on giving me options on how to keep my project around my budget. I was able to take things out or add. Change materials to make it more cost efficient for me and he never got mad or was pushy trying to get money. Then I met Leo and Pedro. Leo was my project manager who was very professional. He also throughout the project kept me informed of any thing that needed to be change and suggested better things. Pedro was the one who actually put muscle and sweat in my project! He is a very hard worker and super nice to talk to. His whole crew was very nice. They work on time. Every day they showed up and I see see progress. For a big project like mine I can't complaint ... they work really fast. Thank you Marcus, designer, Leo, Pedro and all the people who answer my calls in MC landscaping! You guys are amazing ... you are working with a local family oriented company with a high end!
9/29/2023Bruce T.Make sure one of your calls is to MC Landscaping for home exterior. We envisioned front and back attractive habitats focused on California native plants and other drought tolerants.... read more They delivered that and more. They are super knowledgeable on all of the diverse topics we discussed. From the first visit to the final cleanup they were top-notch. We got better than we asked for on time and on budget. Cannot say enough about everyone that we dealt with; sales, design, management, implementation...they are all good at their jobs...and just plain great people. Leo did our project management. He and his team were very accommodating, pleasant, and most importantly effective. We redid the front, entryway, side of the driveway, and the whole backyard; all of it gorgeous. We (and the neighbors) are thoroughly pleased with MC Landscaping.

Josh found Marcus who not only came by right away - but within 24 hours everything was complete as well - from initial sketch design to planting to clean up. They did this all while truly being the kindest - Marcus, Leo, their whole team - everyone. They even brought our son a birthday present and stopped by multiple times to make sure we were happy. Everything looks great, so grateful to have found them.

I could not be happier with his team, including Pedro and several additional workers. All of the team arrived on the days scheduled and were friendly, courteous, took care not to disturb our bunny living in the back yard, completed the work expeditiously, and left the site clean (and beautiful) when work was completed.

Leo was our Project Manager and he is a pleasure to work with as well as doing a great job leading his hard working team. You can tell he cares about his company and wants you to be 100% satisfied with their work. He is an excellent communicator and listens to his customers.
It was a pretty big job and there were a few things that they needed to follow up on. Leo and his team were right on it and took care of these immediately leaving us feeling good about the entire job from start to finish.
We have decided to use MC for all of yard and garden maintenance. They have done an excellent job so far. As a side note we had a water pipe break in the front yard while we were on vacation. Anthony and his guys took care of it for a very fair price and with short notice.
We will be doing our front yard soon and will definitely go with MC Landscaping again. They are nice people, hard workers, and produce terrific results.
