Landscaping reviews in Irvine, California

I had a terrific experience with Five Star...they installed turf in my front yard and it looks great! From the time I called to getting the quote to final install was less than 2 weeks. I observed the entire installation and the team was professional, diligent, and cared about the quality of their work. I would highly recommend Five Star.

P.S. Five Star did my neighbor's yard about a year ago and it still looks brand new!

2020 This is our second time using them, this time we instal turf in our backyard and they did a magnificent job. They were always on time and super easy to work with. But more importantly, very reliable AND they did an amazing and stunning job.

2018 Really good service, fast and very easy going! They really take care of their costumers and the products are the best quality!! Check them out!!!

This review is long over due, we had the turf installed in 2016.
Five Star Turf exceeded our expectations!!
we were and still are, in love with the way the "grass" looks.
we get so many compliments on how great it looks.
when we moved in, within 2 moths our boys destroyed our grass.
we shopped around for months and when we googled this place, got a quote, they were by far the best deal and quality in town.
the pictures I included are: before the turf was put in, the week after, and just last month. it has sustained the rough use of my two 100+ pound boys. We kept our sprinkler system (instead of capping them) the turf gets watered every other day--still looks great and no bad smell.

Simply the best ; affordable , efficient, fast !

We recently hired Black Diamond to install driveway pavers as well as create a wheelchair accessible ramp and deck/porch area. The work required moving sprinkler valves and installing lighting.
All aspects of the project met or exceeded our expectations. While we worked directly with the Project Design Specialist - Ron Geronimo, the entire team was open to feedback, hardworking, and diligent.
The 3D designs that he created after talking with us helped us visualize the end result.
Once the project started Ron was on site at least once each day to make sure everything was happening as planned. If an issue arose he made sure that it was addressed and was extremely flexible with requests that were made as the pr. Communication happened daily and was excellent.

Had a small paver job and was worried about finding a good company that would take it. Ron from Black Diamond responded immediately with a great quote and a lot of promises of getting it done right. I was not disappointed. The crew was friendly and professional, but more importantly, instead of me having to point out issues or problems, they were coming to me to ask if their solutions were satisfactory. The details that most companies would have missed seemed to be standard procedure for Black Diamond. We are extremely happy with the work and Ron and the crew made the entire project stress free.

We were referred to Ron G. by Roger, the owner of Black Diamond. Ron was very knowledgeable and was able to create a lovely 2D/3D rendering fairly quickly for us. We appreciate the quick turn around for the design and proposal - Great service & response!

When we contacted Black Diamond for a small fence project, Ron Geronimo quickly met with us and gave us suggestions. We appreciate he gave us a very nice 2D/3D renderings which really helped a lot. He has excellent communication and understands our needs and concerns. Thank you Ron!

While I have not yet started work with Ron, he’s been a pleasure to work with so far. Very knowledgeable and honest with great communication.

Wasn’t satisfied they told me a price 💰and when it was time to pay they change there price plus there work wasn’t nice 😊 a little dirty and they broke some pots and there helpers were just in a rush and there helpers smell like beer 🍺 all the time

I met with Ron to design my front and backyard. He was very positive and professional and had really good ideas.
You will be in good hands with Ron

Black Diamond did and excellent job on my backyard project. I highly recommend them. Thank you to Hugh and his team for the great work!

Ron G did a great job helping us with our backyard design and package. We didn’t end up using their services due to our budget, but we would consider them again and the future!

First of all, Dave and I would like to thank our top-notch project manager/designer Chris Leithem.

From the very first meeting until the last installation of our turf, Chris took great care and was the glue that held this job together. We original planned to redo our backyard, however, we added an additional project at the last minute, replacing the cement from our driveway and walkway with pavers, he was energetic and eager to please.

The installers were very professional and respectful of our property from the demolition to the finished product. The finished product looks gorgeous and makes the driveway and walkway enormous!

What can we saw about our backyard – WOW! IT IS ENORMOUS!!!! Better than what we expected. The whole team started and finished the job within the timeline that was given to us, even adding the driveway and walkway. The project took two weeks from start to finish.

Chris was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly and exceeded our expectations, always on the property overseeing the project and being just a phone call or text away.

We can’t wait until our Pergola gets installed, which is on backorder (manufacturer issue, not from Black Diamond). Chris is constantly checking with them to get any updated progress to get this installed and completed for us.

We would recommend Black Diamond and especially Chris for anyone looking for beautiful paver installation.

Thank you Chris and your team for doing a outstanding, fabulous job.

Had a great experience with Ron Geronimo! He is definitely an asset to the company. He is honest, professional, and helpful. Call and make sure to ask for him!!

We absolutely love our front yard. Chris answered every question, came to the house multiple times, and even met us at the stone yard so we could pick our materials. Even better, he responds quickly to phone calls and voicemails! Chris and his crew are professional, mindful of the property and extremely hard working. I can’t recommend them enough - it was money well spent. We started getting compliments before the work was even finished so that gives you an idea of how good it looks!

Black Diamond performed like diamonds. Chris took one look at our back yard in dirt, and knew exactly what we wanted. They did our backyard, and driveway. Actually, went above and beyond when they ran into some difficulties to no fault of theirs.
Was quite surprised that the work was done during raining periods.
Thought the job was a little pricey, but you know what? We don't regret a single penny.
Great, hard working crew!
We felt Chris was honest, straightforward, and just a pleasure to work with.
CALL HIM!! WE THINK YOU WOULD LIKE HIS WORK!!

Transformed my backyard into a beautiful oasis! The team was creative, attentive to detail, and completed the project on time.

Ron G. from Black Diamond contacted us on behalf of his customer. He explained exactly what the customer needed and coordinated the installation with his crew. Ron was very professional and easy to work with. You're in good hands with Ron G. & Black Diamond

Black Diamond has great product and service. We had interviewed a few landscapers and found Black Diamond definitely has the best quality products with a good price. We worked with Jon Barlok and his crew. Jon is very nice, responsible and super responsive. His crew was highly efficient and took care of all the details. Very happy with their work. Everyone in the family enjoy the backyard so much. Highly recommend Black Diamond and Jon! You won't regret for your choice if you pick them.

Ron from Diamondback Landscaping helped me design and plan the remove the front and backyard of all the grass, trees, bushes, brick and cement.
