Landscaping reviews in Oxnard, California

Rudi and his team are extremely professional and do amazing work. After meeting with about 15 contractors we knew he was the man for the job with his extensive knowledge and great communication. I had lots of questions and he got back to me right away with clear and concise answers as this is a big project for us. Our backyard was in need of removing existing concrete, installing new concrete, tiling over all the concrete, removing existing grass, laying new sod and moving all of our drains and sprinklers and he was eager to get started and showed up early each day and got the job done in a very timely manner. He also had great ideas and vision. He knows the industry well and is licensed and insured. I will recommend him to all of my family, friends and neighbors.

I chose Rudi to install a redesign of our front yard. From the beginning he was on time, provided detailed communication, showing up and doing exactly what he said he would do each day. He and his team removed a sloping bed of ivy across the entire front of our house and up one side, created a flower bed across the entire front of the house, installed drip irrigation to an exiting system, selected and planted over 70 plants and 1 olive tree, chose 2 decorative 4 ft pots, graded/prepped all the planting spaced, and added mulch to finish it all off. The result is an amazing and stunning transformation. It's everything we and the designer imagined. Rudi was meticulous about placing the plants and getting my approvals throughout before proceeding. He and his team show up on time and work - no talking on cell phones no music playing - just work. And they clean up as they go along and at the end of each day. We just love it!! The entire project was stress free, accommodating, on time and on budget.

We wanted to “desert-scape” our Ventura front yard. It’s not too big but removing the grass and reducing water use were goals, along with wanting it to look great. We got 3 bids. I called Rudi because I saw him working on a neighbor’s house about a half mile away. Of the 3 bids, Rudi’s was the most reasonable, and when adding his knowledge of where to get rocks and plants… what could be better. The 4 pics show the transformation over a week. 1 day to remove lawn, and 1-day to plant and rock. Total area about 850 sq feet. Lots of landscaper choices in Ventura, but I recommend calling Rudi and including him in any project bid. We couldn't be more pleased!

Rudi recently did a project in our backyard and we could not be more happy with the end result! I called over 10 landscaping companies in Ventura County and got bids from 6. Rudi was the stand out choice by far! He is punctual, very knowledgeable, and is an excellent communicator! He installed beautiful turf in our backyard, planted avocado trees, and a lemon tree. He is also taking care of the monthly maintenance for our front and back yards. Thank you Rudi for making our backyard so much more of an enjoyable space to be in!

We have a 30+ year old block wall that was in need of repair. Rudi came through and his team did a great job at a very fair price! We're very pleased as we begin our yard remodel.

I had an excellent experience working with Rudi on transforming my front and backyard. He removed all the existing turf and replaced it with beautifully designed permeable pavers and drought-tolerant landscaping. From start to finish, he was punctual, responsive, and accommodating to any design or plant selection changes I made along the way.

Not only did he complete the project on time, but he also went above and beyond by picking up materials for me and ensuring that every detail met my expectations. His knowledge of the Be Water Wise turf replacement program was invaluable—he guided me through the process to make sure my project met all the requirements for reimbursement and was as eco-friendly as possible.

I highly recommend Rudi to anyone looking for high-quality, professional landscaping work. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set him apart!

We hired Rudi for hardscape and landscape work, including pavers, retaining walls, and concrete in our side yards. Unfortunately, we experienced multiple workmanship and oversight issues throughout the project.

For the concrete work, Rudi subcontracted the pour. He was responsible for demolition and framing, but the concrete curb was poured crooked. The wood framing was left buried in the soil afterward, including untreated wood, which should not be left in the ground.

The paver installation had significant layout and alignment problems. The patio was initially squared to our fence rather than the house and had to be corrected once it was brought to his attention. Even after that correction, the patio remains several inches out of square. The pavers themselves are misaligned and uneven, and the front bullnose is crooked, creating a safety concern.

In addition, the paver base was installed incorrectly. The compacted base layer was only approximately 1–2 inches, while the sand layer was 4–5 inches, which is the opposite of industry standards and raises serious concerns about long-term settling and failure.

Drainage was another major issue. Drains were not properly aligned or corrected until we pointed them out, and the retaining walls were built without proper drainage behind them, which raises long-term durability concerns.

Overall, the project caused a great deal of stress, and we ultimately terminated the contract. Much of the work will now need to be removed and redone by another contractor.

I recommend doing thorough research before hiring this company for hardscape work.
