Brooker Associates Inc

Brooker Associates, Inc. did an amazing job redoing our front yard. We highly recommend them to anyone considering any kind of landscaping project.
We had researched and were disappointed with several other landscaping firms before we discovered Brooker Associates. From the very first moment, everyone we talked to was friendly, open, and very professional. Mike, the project manager, really listened to what my wife said she wanted and worked with his landscape architect to produce a professional architectural rendering that incorporated most of our pencil sketches, but really took the whole concept to a much higher level, and much more beautiful outcome… while remaining within our budget.
Brooker Associates is one company that does it all… and with their own skilled crews. To begin with, they demolished the 40-​year old concrete driveway and walkways, brick planters, plants, bushes, old sprinkler system, and lawn. They then expertly laid pavers to create a new driveway, front entryway, and patio. Decomposed granite was used to create walkways and driveway boarders; all contained within concrete edging boarders for a very professional look. Weed barriers were laid out, and the stepping stones, plants, trees, and flowers were arranged per the architectural rendering before planting. This allowed one last chance to change things around according to color, balance, and aesthetics. Finally, everything got planted, the drip watering system installed, and an amazing black-​bark ground cover was used to create a stunning new front yard that really stands out!
There were also many little touches that you’re not going to find with other companies. Things like adding additional drain lines, laying electrical (at no cost) in case we’d like to install outside lighting sometime in the future, layout drawings (so we’ll know where everything can be found years from now), and dozens of other little touches that demonstrated Brooker Associates commitment to customer satisfaction… and we certainly are satisfied!
Oh, you might find someone to quote you a cheaper price, but in terms of overall quality of work and ultimate satisfaction, nobody even comes close to Brooker Associates!

Brooker is contracted to do work on my condo complex. They gave us instructions to remove everything off the patio. They then reschedule for a week later after everything has already been moved. Highly inconvenient for a owner or tenant. From the looks of the other reviews they also do sloppy work. I will take before and after pictures. Best of luck if your association uses them.

On January 2, 2015, I called Brooker Associates to give me a price quote for a fruitless olive tree. I spoke to Mr. Bill Brooker and he quoted a price for a 24″ box fruitless olive for a fairly reasonable price. I called other nurseries to find out if they could beat his price, but no one had a lower price. The next day, I asked the owner if he can send some pictures of the tree and 30 minutes later his landscape client representative contacted me to open my email. In the email, he attached some pictures of the tree including weight, height, and width. On Sunday, I rented a trailer and drove 2 hours and 40 minutes to the main nursery located at La Habra and purchased three (3) 24″ box fruitless olive trees. When I got there the owner and his staff loaded the trees into the trailer. In addition, the owner added two (2) pot of Butia capitata palms and one (1) Mediterranean Fan palm for another $ 15. The olive trees and the palm trees all looked healthy. The olive trees were 7 feet high and multi-​trunk. Now that I planted the trees, it makes me smiles that I got a bargain for a beautiful landscape.
I don’t generally write reviews, but Brooker Associates has provided good service, has a hardworking staff, offered a fair price, had a down-​to earth owner, and I highly recommended this company to others.

Brooker Associates is definitely as good as it gets! They just completed a wood repair project on a 138 unit HOA I manage and the job went beyond smoothly. Not one compliant from a single homeowner and the work is top notch!!!

It doesn’t get any better than these folks. Professional, reasonable, fair, friendly and always going the extra mile. Did our backyard two years ago and now the front. Wish I had more yard!

Brooker Associates is as good as it gets. I was the former President of the Galerie Home Owners Association and have been doing business with Brooker Associates for years. They especially do a great job with their painting crews. We have 182 homes in the Galerie and they paint every one of them and do an excellent job. They are professional, complete and take extreme care to ensure the privacy and property of the homeowners. If you need painting, landscaping or general construction, I highly recommend Brooker Associates. Easy to work with, reliable, honest and trustworthy. An A+ company!

Brooker and Associates recently repainted my condo complex and it was very inconvenient to say the least. The workers were constantly yelling at each other and were very disruptive to the occupants here and they do seem accountable for their actions.

Brooker Associates recently completed a backyard and pool renovation for our home in Whittier that has completely transformed our yard and receives compliments from everyone. But the most impressive and unusual things about the company are the amazing customer service provided by the owner, Bill Brooker, and his incredible honesty and integrity. Thus, when I saw the negative review on Unilocal and spoke with Bill, I had to write because I know that review is absolutely not true. (Actually, I’m kind of outraged someone would try to damage the reputation of such a good company.)
Previous to working with Brooker Associates, my husband and I had used other contractors to do a major renovation of the inside and front yard of our home. We were fortunate that nearly all the contractors and subcontractors used were very ethical and did beautiful work that we are very happy with.
However, I can definitely say that Brooker Associates provided, by far, the best customer service and attention to detail of all the contractors we used, besides giving us a beautiful product for a very reasonable price. Bill truly enjoys the challenge and satisfaction of doing landscape and pool renovations, and worked very closely and patiently with us to ensure the final product was what we wanted and was within our budget. Bill uses a pool subcontractor he has worked with for 15 years, but he still would drop by on an almost daily basis to monitor our project’s progress and was always available for phone calls. In the few instances where a problem or issue came up, as is the case in any renovation, Bill and his staff would take care of it quickly, fairly and graciously.
I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that Brooker Associates is on the opposite end of the spectrum of the company depicted in the negative review. I am also not a «shill» for Brooker Associates — just a very happy customer. I would be happy to speak with anyone who contacts Brooker Associates for a reference.

We contracted with Brooker Associates for a major landscaping project a couple of years ago including a new vinyl patio structure. The work was completed on time, professionally and efficiently. Employees were courteous, well dressed (uniforms) and the cleanup at the end of each work day was meticulous. The owner, Bill, stills stops by the house to check on plant establishment. It’s a first class company and I highly recommend them.
