Landscaping reviews in Capitola, California

Excellent communication and great work!

Daren Barry and his group organized everything for my new home, including patios, planting specified trees and plants to the highest level

Love Daren and his team at Landscape 4U Inc. They are fast, experienced, and very knowledgeable. We would recommended them to anybody who has landscaping needs!

L4U have done three large projects for us. Each of them looks as good as they day they were built, and none of them has moved 1/16".

Darrin and co. just completed a fourth project for us: an artificial turf play area for my kids. As always, L4U's work is immaculate, and their team is friendly and attentive to detail. My kids absolutely love the play area.

Landscape 4 U delivers craft and value with integrity and kindness.

We have used Landscape4U for three projects at our house and have been delighted with the results from each one. The workmanship on all aspects of each project was first class.

The first contract involved replacing a decaying fence and installing a paver sidewalk and French drains around our house to alleviate drainage problems. They completed this job quickly and efficiently: even after 20 years the drains work and the paver sidewalk and new fence improved the privacy in our backyard.

When we needed help with a second landscaping project, Landscape4U was our first choice. This time we replaced fencing and a deck in the backyard, had a new pad poured for the hot tub, a paver patio laid, a new driveway and walkways poured in front of the house, new drip irrigation installed and a beautiful arbor constructed over our front walk. Daren designed the arbor from a verbal description, creating a showpiece for our front yard. During this long project Daren and his crew showed up early every day, worked hard, and left the job site clean and safe each evening.

For our third project, they replaced a dying lawn in the backyard with artificial turf. Despite out initial skepticism, we are thrilled with the result. The new turf product looks almost like real grass, only better: no weeds and no need to mow or water all summer long.

One of the best parts of working with Daren is that he has lots of creative ideas, so when you are not sure of what to do or how to do it, he is ready with suggestions to solve the problems (even ones that you were unaware of). The increase in the "curb appeal" of our house has been striking. We receive compliments almost daily from our neighbors walking by. One gentleman driving by, stopped and took photos for ideas of what to do at his house. If we ever need more landscaping work, Daren will be the first one we call.

I’ve worked with LandScape 4U Inc several times through my company, Central Coast Engineering & Development Inc., and they’ve consistently delivered. They’re fast, efficient, and always check in to make sure I have everything I need. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable landscape company — they’re a great resource for landscape installations as well as material hauling.

Darren and his team are fantastic. I highly recommend working with him. He has done great work on our yard.

We are so happy with our landscape designed by Laura and Phil. She so thoughtfully chose the plants, they are beautiful and fit the area perfectly. Both were so easy to work with, and available with any needs or questions. Now they are doing our maintenance as well.
Highly recommend.

Thank you for clearing my drain just in time.

Professional, friendly and skilled service. Joinery work was excellent and all snags that were brought to their attention were fixed straight away with no issues. Definitely recommend.

We LOVE working with The Landscape Company – they are friendly, knowledgeable and have a great design sense. Highly recommend them!

With great enthusiasm I applaud the work product created by The Landscape Company, thanks to its owner, Phil Dundas, and his competent crew. My Santa Cruz Gardens front yard was transformed from 1,200 square feet of lifeless turf to a spectacular display of drought resistant plants, providing a variety of texture and color and accented with three new trees. The backyard was renovated with drought tolerant red fescue and perimeter plants as well as mulch.
The experienced crew pruned existing fruit trees, created a flagstone pathway, restored a cracked sidewalk, installed a drip irrigation system, reinforced a retaining wall, and corrected an eroded sided yard with a French drain and river rock.

I recommend The Landscape Company because of the owner’s prompt response, accurate estimates, flexibility with plant selection and budget, sense of aesthetics, knowledge, practical considerations, and relationship with the landscape community.

The Landscape Company provides all my properties with outstanding A+ service. Professional and quality, it's what I've come to expect. Thanks Phil for raising the bar. I would recommend your crews for any landscape project, big or small.

The Landscape Company came to our rescue! Phil and the crew found a way to build an enormous gate to our backyard. TLC had clear communication through out the entire project, very professional people. Everyone was on time, cheerful, and cared just as much ( or more ) for our project. These people are into doing the job right, no shortcuts on quality or craftsmanship. What more can we say? If you have a project that you want done right, call The Landscape Company.

Thank You All,

I had a leak in an old irrigation system and a plumber told me they would need to dig up my yard and walkways. I was panicked and had no idea where to go for a solution. I cold-called 3 different companies and The Landscape Company was the only one that called me back on a timely basis. They came out early the next morning, and, despite my old system being a unicorn, fixed the leak promptly and gave me an idea of how my system could work. I continue to be so grateful for their prompt, professional, creative help.

Phil and his team did an amazing job on my front yard remodel. His team was a pleasure to work with, very tidy and friendly. They executed perfectly on our vision! I would highly recommend the Landscape Company.

Paul, Efrain and Thomas were great partners for a new homeowner! They helped us understand what we needed and were very transparent about process, materials and costs associated. We had them come in for a full day to get everything back into shape and I couldn't be happy with how everything turned out. Looking forward to having them come by on a bi-weekly basis to keep things looking manicured and (more importantly) healthy.

This is a company that strives on professionalism, attention to detail, and connecting to their customers. Phil takes pride in giving his customers the small mom and pop business feel , but has the team and business knowledge to support a large business operation. I love the fact that the business owner works directly with his clients. He provides custom packages for each of his clients if needed. His team is really friendly, trustworthy, and always arrives on time! Phil has a kind heart. He is a really great guy who cares about his customers. I honestly do not like being one in a million of customers in the corporate world. You feel like you are lost in the shuffle of things. I never felt this way when working with this company. Not only did I receive outstanding customer service, I got direct calls from the owner to check on how my services were going. now if that's not customer service I don't know what else is!
I highly recommend The Landscape Company for your landscaping needs!

Efrain and his great team did an outstanding job! They removed the old lawn (which was mostly weeds and gopher holes), installed a great new sprinkler system, added soil amendments and top soil and then laid beautiful new sod. I am so happy with my new lawn and grateful for the professionalism and care that I received from The Landscape Company.

Phil and Laura did an amazing job landscaping our front and back yard. They designed a truly special outdoor living space by creating lovely paths, beautiful plantings, fencing our patio, building an arbor for our climbing roses. The end result is more than we dreamed of. What a team! They were delightful to work with and I would highly recommend The Landscape Company for any landscaping project.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Company That Truly Cares

Two years ago, we experienced a massive retaining wall collapse during a series of atmospheric rivers. The damage caused a huge mudslide that poured right down to our front door, leaving us unable to use our driveway for over a year. It was overwhelming and stressful—until we found Phil and The Landscape Company.

From the start, we knew we were in good hands. We did our homework and looked around at a lot of options, but Phil immediately stood out. As two women living in the mountains alone, we’ve had our fair share of experiences with contractors making assumptions—but not once did Phil or his crew ever make us feel anything but respected and supported.

Phil came up with a solid plan, and the team got started right away. Their communication was top-notch—anytime something came up or we had a question, they were quick to respond and took our concerns seriously. And their crew? Absolutely incredible. Due to the structure of our property, they had to dig everything by hand. It was honestly amazing to watch the amount of hard work and precision they put in.

Now, over a year later, our beautiful new stone retaining wall has withstood more intense storms, and we finally feel safe again. The craftsmanship is stunning, and the peace of mind is priceless.

From Phil, who was hands-on throughout the project, to the hardworking four-man crew who showed up every day, to Stephanie in the office (who was so responsive and helpful every step of the way)—this company truly went above and beyond. They aren’t just a landscape company, they feel like a tight-knit team that genuinely has your back.

We couldn't recommend The Landscape Company more. They helped us reclaim our home, our safety, and our peace of mind—and we’re so grateful.
