Toyoda Landscape

I contacted Toyoda Landscape due to a broken valve issue late Thursday afternoon when my gardener pointed out the issue. When I called, it went to voicemail so I left a detailed voicemail. A few hours later, Helen contacted me to let me know the cost and when Alex (technician) will be able to make it out to check the problem (Friday 3:00pm-5:00pm). When I arrived home by 2:30pm, Alex was already in-​front of my house (I’m impressed!). Right away, Alex isolated the problem and proceeded to resolve it (he offered me a few solutions and have me deceive). He had to dig, dig, and dig to get to the valve (my sprinkler system is over 20 y/​o). It turns out, there was roots growing everywhere. After he was done, he proceeded to have me turn on my system to make sure everything is functioning perfectly. Can ask for more. Thank you guys!

Had Mas & Helen return to relandscape my front and back yard. They redesigned my planters and helped me select some more modern «bladey» plants. They installed new sod, fancy rocks, and updated my existing irrigation system. My favorite is the new more efficient drip system for my pots and roses so I don’t waste so much water!
Overall A+ service and price. Again very happy and would definitely recommend! I referred them to my neighbor and they hired them too. The street is looking so much better thanks to Mas & Helen!!!

Husband and wife team that is really the wife running the husband around. Hired Toyoda Landscape to landscape my property ($ 9000 invoice). Actually drove Mas around to show him what I wanted in my property (new roses, lawn, plants, etc).
Fast forward after the job was done and court appearance for shoddy work, I had to hire someone else to come in and fix what they had done. Plants that they installed died within months of being put in the ground. Landscape professional that I hired to fix their problems told me «you get what you pay for» I spent another $ 15 000 fixing what they did and what I was promised by the husband
Couldn’t be more true… avoid avoid avoid… You would have better luck doing it yourself with half the cost and headaches…
Feel free to contact me, I have pictures of what they «landscaped»…

Needed to have the wiring fixed on the sprinkler system where 3 out of the 6 zones lost connection with the controller were not working. Called and left a message around 10am. Got a call back at 1:30pm. They agreed to come out at 2:30pm for an inspection and estimate. When Helen and Alex arrived on time, they checked out the sprinkler system and determined that it was a repair that they could do with this trip. The job was done quickly and thoroughly. They also inspected all sprinkler heads, replaced and adjusted if necessary. The charge was very reasonable, and they delivered the service with friendliness and smiles. I was very happy with the outcome of this particular service call.

I called and left a message on their voice mail… never received a return call

We own a townhouse with a very small backyard. We called around looking for a landscaper and Toyoda Landscape was the most prompt in responding back as well as being flexible with our schedule.
Mas came on a Saturday morning to do an estimate and within two days I received a sketch as well as an estimate on everything. Helen (his wife) was very good at sending me many different photos so I could visually see my options.
I am a person who is very dependent on e-​mail and I have to say, Helen was very good at responding to e-​mails.
I really loved working with a family owned and run business. Our backyard is simple and easy to maintain. Many of our friends have said our yard is very zen.

I recently hired Toyoda Landscape to completely remodel my front and back yard and build a new front porch and walkway. The project took approximately six weeks to complete and they have completely transformed my front/​back yard from a weed infested jungle to a tranquil and visually soothing garden of colors.
I went with Toyoda for two simple reasons — they were very patient and honest. Mas Toyoda (co-​owner) worked with my wife and I extensively on our garden ideas. We had asked for modifications to his first design and he (and his wife Helen) gladly and patiently came back with a revised design which we chose.
They are also very honest. During the course of the project both Mas and Helen made some recommendations concerning plant/​flower selection including the type of grass that should be installed. In the end the total cost of the project was under budget since we ended up using less plants than initially quoted and the grass we selected (St. Augustine) was no longer available this season so we opted for Marathon which was cheaper.
In terms of cost they are very reasonable. I had extensive landscape work done to my house. My front porch, steps, walkway and old front/​back planter bed were demolished. Helen worked with us on the planter/​porch design and we paid extra for the brick upgrade.
If you are looking into remodeling your landscape and would prefer a professional to do it, you should definitely call Toyoda. We are glad we did.

No show, no call back would be the worst service someone could get from the servicing industry.
I simply wanted to obtain an estimate on a lawn repair or replacement. So I thought I saw some 5 stars reviews on Unilocal and I called someone local wanting to support the local businesses. The wife Helen picked up the phone and nicely said the husband would drop by the same day or the following day since it’s so close by, without giving an exact time. So I said please notify me on my mobile in advance in case I’m out. I even emailed her a photo of the yard per request.
For 3 – 4 days I didn’t receive a single call or at least a email so I emailed them again to find out what’s happening. After a few hours I got her reply email saying something like they don’t want to get involved in any lawsuits or things like that. Who said anything about any lawsuits.
If the job is too small or if they don’t want to do the business, simply say so right on the spot or write back a brief email rather than leaving the customer hanging in the air. This is definitely not the way to do business.
Well, I won’t call any home based businesses again or better check if the reviews are produced by associates or friends only. Btw, I just noticed a new review dated Jun 12 was just added, which wasn’t there a week ago. Hmm weird!

Toyoda Landscape installed a good deal of sod in my backyard after I decided to give up trying to do it myself. I’m so glad I hired them to do it. They were friendly, professional, and did a great job, all for a very reasonable price. As a new homeowner, I was very thankful for the various tips they gave me as well. They are a family business in all the best ways — they worked hard together and provided a great service.

Mas and Helen are great people to work with. This is a small family business; they responded quickly, showed up as promised, did the work efficiently, and left our premises clean — can’t get better than that! If you don’t want to think about the design and you just want the job done, Mas will take care of you. His extensive knowledge about plant maintenance will keep your landscaping practical. If you have something in mind, Mas will also be more than happy to execute your plan. If I have another opportunity to landscape, I would not hesitate to call Toyoda again. It was really a pleasure working with them.

My family has used Toyoda Landscape for the past 4 years and are SO glad we found them. They are efficient, courteous, and clean. Their prices are reasonable (we’ve been gouged by other local landscaping companies in the past!) and they are very easy to work with. I highly recommend Toyoda Landscape!
