San Diego Landscape Solutions Inc

After the initial meeting with Brett to discuss my needs, I was informed I would receive a quote within 7 days. After a month, I emailed him and then received a ridiculously high quote a few days later. The bid was 100% higher than all others we received for comparable work. I will not be using the services of this company.

Giving 4 stars because Brett came out to my house, on time and was very professional. Provided an estimate within a few days. I did not go with this company only because his estimate was above my budget.

Brett and his workers are incredible! We loved the design, the work, and the finished job. Not only were we pleased, but everyone in the neighborhood loved the professionalism the team had while they worked and the outcome.

When I moved to Chula Vista about 2 years ago I had Brett and his crew do some landscaping. I was very happy with their work. This year I decided to make my front and back more drought resistant and made the mistake of choosing a different landscaper. Not sure why I didn’t go back to Landscape Solutions. After 2 months of small problems I called Brett to see if he could complete my project. He (and the same guys from 2 years ago) came out and did a beautiful job completing my front yard. I have one more small thing to complete and it will be Landscape Solutions that finishes it! I have learned to stick with a crew that comes when they say they will, finishes when they say they will, uses quality materials and is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend them for any landscape, hardscape work.

Brett and his great crew finished my landscaping job this afternoon. It came in on time and under budget. Brett had great suggestions and ideas, as I had not hired a designer. They put up a retaining wall, pavers, planted several plants and created a great place for my dog to take care of her business. Brett’s crew worked tirelessly and looking at what was accomplished in only four days, is remarkable. I would recommend Landscape Solutions to anyone who wants to hire a knowledgeable landscaper, diligent workers who clean up at the end of the day and provide excellent craftsman ship. I have hired many companies in the past 15 years remodeling the inside and outside of our home. This has been by far the best experience we have had with a contractor. One last note, Brett went out of his way to revitalize my artificial turf in the front yard after he had completed the contracted job in the back yard. That went above and beyond. We want to give a special shout out to Andy, your the best.

Almost a year ago we did a major overhaul on 3 sides of our house. I attached some before and after photos, should be pretty easy to figure out. We did internet research and also got a referral to help decide to go with Brett and San Diego Landscape Solutions. We knew it was going to be a big and expensive project. We contacted them and Brett came over a few days later to help us understand and even design our future backyard. He worked with us to get creative ideas to help us maximize, yet stay near our budget. We worked up a plan and for a low fee he provided a full detailed drawing of our design. As you can see in the pictures we did full demolition of concrete, removed some dirt, built retaining walls, replaced fences, added grass, pavers, plants, irrigation, a fire pit and full landscaping with lighting. Nearly a year later as I finally get around to typing this, I can say we are thrilled that our backyard has been transformed. The maintenance has been minimal and of course nothing has broken. Sure a few plants died, but they were taken care of and replaced, not sure if that’s standard, but he did it anyway.
Initially, we set out to do our backyard and after being as happy as we were, we later continued to use Brett and his crew to finish out our side yards and a few minor things in the front. We’ve ran out of land to landscape now, but over the past year Brett’s crew has remained the same and I’ve dealt with many of them directly and they were always nice to me and my kids.
Pros
— No subcontractors to manage, San Diego Landscape manages your whole project, he even helped me deal with a fence subcontractor hired by myself to make sure it matched our design. Brett helped save a major mess as the fence almost went in the wrong spot!
— Nice and courteous crew. Daily, they cleaned up and left a minimal mess as the project went on.
— Daily updates. This was my favorite part. Sure it was all drafted up and designed, but before a wall is laid, a hole is dug or a patio is shaped… Brett and his crew will do a walk through with you to make sure that’s where you want it to go. There WILL be things you’ll change your mind about as you build and that was something very reasonably handled.
— They promised to start a few weeks out and they did.
— They told us it would take 6 to 7 weeks and it did!
Cons
— I ran out of yard to redo!
Bottom line, we had a great experience working with the company. Trusting your contractor is sadly such a huge issue and there was no problems here. Brett is a straight shooter and will give you a fair deal. If you want it cheaper and note quite done right, do it yourself!

We are extremely pleased with the landscaping job that Brett and his crew did on both our front and backyards. They installed artificial turf, a large paver patio, a block wall and many drought tolerant plants. The crew were always professional, worked long days, and always cleaned up the area before leaving. Brett took his time to meet us at RCP block and brick and 2 different nurseries to help us make our selections. Since our project has been completed, he has stopped by several times to see how the plants are flourishing and inquire if we have any questions or problems. We would highly recommend Landscape Solutions to everyone.

I truly can’t say enough great things about Brett and his team from landscape solutions, and the incredible job they did at my house. I attached some before and after photos, so everyone can see for themselves.
After meeting with Brett, I decided to give them the green light on a complete back, front, patio, pergola, landscaping, all encompassing job. Brett was friendly, personable, and very understanding of our desires and vision for our project. Brett’s knowledge of landscaping, plants, and design was a true asset to us while making plant and design decisions. Brett made everything super easy, and gave Great advice throughout the whole job. My wife and I are very pleased with how everything turned out.
The crew at landscape solutions were all super professional, friendly, and efficient. They all wore identifying shirts, were always on time, and definitely put in a full days work. The guys were also very knowledgeable, and made themselves available to answer any of our questions.
Everyone in the neighborhood is raving about our yard! We now have a space that we can truly enjoy, and couldn’t be happier. I recommend landscape solutions to anyone looking for a company that can do anything you can think of for your project!
Thanks again Brett!

I’m giving them 3 stars because they actually came out and gave us a quote. A lot of places wouldn’t even look at our property when they found out our price range (about 5K for a smallish job). We wanted the lawn ripped up and replaced with a drought friendly yard. I was impressed with how well the owner understood what I was asking for. He was hard to get on the phone with follow up questions, but I had family coming to town and his was the only reasonable quote we’d gotten. Through a slow email exchange, I was able to get on their schedule and the work was done before my family arrived for the holidays (in Dec. 2012).
Now looking at my yard 1.5 years later, it’s just heart breaking. Despite the fact that we paid for a drought friendly yard (and we are currently living in a massive drought), with ripped up roots, a drip system sprinkler for our bushes, landscaping cloth, and organic mulch, our yard is now overrun with weeds. We spent $ 6K and had a beautiful yard for about a year. We thought it was a great investment, but for one year’s worth of satisfaction, we basically paid them $ 500/​month and now we need to hire a gardner to redo what we’d already paid a landscaper for.
I could see this growth being a problem in an area with lots of rain, but it has literally rained exactly 5 times since we landscaped. The weeds were never properly disposed of and I’m guessing he used a substandard landscape cloth. I cannot recommend them to anyone looking for an environmentally friendly, low maintenance yard.

Got a quote pretty quick but at 3 times the cost of the next closest quote. Inflexible, obvious inflation on the price, $ 1250 to haul dirt associated with a retaining wall which was already priced over the industry accepted price range of $ 10−25/sq. foot (Brett prices at $ 35/​sq foot just for the wall which I was trying to go for 3 foot high) of wall.

We had a fantastic experience redoing our entire backyard. Brett and his team were top notch, on time, did what they said, and the work was high quality. Brett was fantastic keep us in the lop on where the project was, and he was great at offering suggestions that we would not have thought about, but ultimately really added value to the project. I would highly recommend them, and we’ll be using them when we do our front year. It was worth the money we paid as we have fallen back in love with our house.

I bought a home with a BBQ island that needed refurbishment. New gas, electric, grill, and countertop. Brett came out and took measurements and promised a quote by the weekend. Never heard back, followed up with him and he again promised the estimate by the next weekend. Allowed extra time and emailed him again, at that point he never had the courtesy to reply again.

I wanted an RV pad, gate and hard landscape installed in my side yard. When I sent out emails to various landscapers Brett at Landscape Solutions jumped right on it.
He promptly emailed me back with a rough idea of what the job would involve.
After meeting in person Brett wrote up a detailed estimate which looked great.
Brett and his team started work a couple of days after I signed and paid the deposit. Everything went fast and was well done. The RV pad is made with thick pavers that will stand the test of time. All of the gate material was top notch including big steel posts and beams. Brett also had a lift master system installed so the gate is automatic.
