Landscaping reviews in Redlands, California

After over a year of nightmares with contractors while renovating our house, we were hesitant to hire another contractor to do our huge landscaping project (regrading the property, concrete, hardscape, landscape, irrigation, etc.). But we’re so happy that we did, because working with Mark Brady and his project manager Alberto was the best experience we’ve ever had with a contractor. Mark and Alberto were both knowledgeable, personable, communicative, and punctual. Alberto and his crew work incredibly hard and won’t stop until the project is completed to your liking. Mark was totally reasonable and transparent with pricing. We told him up front our budget limitations, and he worked with us every step of the way to get the most out of our project while staying within our budget. He truly has a passion for his work and for making his clients happy. There were several significant parts of our project that Mark added without charging us, because he knew our budget but also knew that the feature would make the house so much nicer. And as for the final product, we couldn’t be happier. The work is exceptional. All our neighbors have remarked how excellent our house looks after Mark and his team’s work. I have already recommended Brady Landscaping to several of our neighbors, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend him to everyone I know.

Unfortunately Mark's installation and business practices do not hold up. It appears he is operating as a construction company without a valid business or contractor's license in both Colorado and California. He collects payments to his personal Zelle so you can't get your money back. We are out $$$$ on a shoddy installation. Buyer beware!

I could not be happier with this company. Mark came out to look right away and he was so upfront and honest about price and listened to what I wanted without flooding me with pricey ideas to try to get more money out of me- I have been doing a lot of different projects and getting quotes from a lot of contractors for several things and I am getting so tired of that happening. This dude literally did exactly what I wanted, for a more than fair price (when it was all done I actually felt like I underpaid, for once). Cleared out and leveled my yard to make my xeriscaping easier for me, and cleared out and put custom planting boxes in the front. Pictures make it look not done but that is because that is what I wanted. Just top notch business. I 100% wouldn't go elsewhere.

Brady Landscaping was the most professional and capable landscaping company we have ever worked with! From our initial meeting with Mark, through amazing flower design with Becky, and interactions with Alberto and his crew...all went very smoothly. Highly recommend!

Mark was absolutely easy to work with
I had two major headaches and one was my yard.
The other was the drain. He resolved both headaches in 4 days. Thank you I will be sure to call you for the other side of the yard!

Brady Landscaping did a great job transforming our sad front yard. We worked with the team to xeriscape our front yard. They were very responsive and we were able to work closely with the team every step of the way. We are very pleased with the results. I highly recommend Brady Landscaping for your next landscaping project.

Mark and his team are wonderful! We had them landscape our backyard. Not only did they give us an amazing quote they also did a beautiful job. Very fast and efficient. Even worked in the rain. Also very responsive. We would definitely call them again for further projects.

My Girlfriend hired Mark to build a retaining wall. If you hire him expect to supervise the entire project as his crew has no idea how to build a block wall. For God's sake don't pay him before the job is complete. They did not even finish the job.

10/29/25 Update; Mark Brady's subcontractor, Ceasar Lopez, took it upon himself at his own expense to come and finish the project yesterday.

Very please with Mark and his team’s work. We started with a blank slate and he worked to build a space that brought our vision to life. He was always accessible, on site regularly, and managed the project with ease so it was one less headache of ours to manage as we moved into a new place. The concrete work, irrigation installation, sod, landscaping and custom patio are all beautiful and we’re looking forward to enjoying and growing into our backyard oasis.

Brady and his team did amazing job they were flexible with our schedule and were very detailed about everything they will be doing beforehand. They finished the project in just 5 days which was very unexpected. Great work ethic and great work.

Mark Brady and team did a phenomenal job with my backyard. Mark was willing to work with me to get the items I wanted while still being within budget. He was the best priced and the most responsive out of the 5 companies I contacted. The weather during the spring was very rainy and delayed the project, but Mark was very communicative the entire time and everything turned out beautifully. I even had my HVAC guy who has seen my yard before and after the transformation remark on the quality of the job and ask for Mark's number. Some before and after photos below.

Mark and his crew did a fantastic job on my backyard and new grass. They were great to work with!!!

Great experience. Mark and team did our home's landscaping. It was a consortium of owners that were rarely at the house. We had to hand him some loosely prepared plans -- and trust to him to act like an owner. He was great throughout. Made good decisions, followed up with us when not sure, and got it done. It's really hard to find good contractors in the mountains, and Mark was the exception.

Complexities included a non-smoke firepit, a fountain, and a various other adjustments along the way as he saw things that we had not.

Thank you!

We wanted to create a garden & patio area in an unused portion of our lot. It needed to an new retaining wall, irrigation, trees, stairs and vegetation. The quotes we had been given were incredibly high. Mark did it for half the price. He finished on time in 2 weeks. The quality of work was excellent. We are very happy.

We moved into our home in 2020, and the yard we inherited had been fully xeriscaped by the previous owners. While water-friendly, it left us with a landscape that felt harsh—river rock covering nearly every inch, a scattering of boulders, and little of the softness that makes an outdoor space inviting. For years, we dreamed of transforming it into something that better fit our lifestyle, a place where our family (and dog!) could relax and play.

Eventually, we started shoveling up the rock ourselves just to get a sense of the scope. Once we crossed the “point of no return,” we knew it was time to call in the pros. That’s when we turned to Thumbtack, reaching out to five companies and meeting with four.

From the very beginning, Brady Landscaping & Construction stood out. While every vendor measured and listened, Brady went a step further. They invested more time on-site than all the others combined and took the initiative to collaborate with us—refining our vision and offering thoughtful, practical suggestions that elevated the plan. That partnership gave us the confidence that if any issues arose, they would stand by their work.

We received bids ranging from $7,500 to $10,900, and ultimately chose Brady based on their professionalism, reputation, and the trust they built with us through the process. Our project included:

Removing all remaining river rock and mulch

Grading the side yard

Adding a flagstone landing at the bottom of the stairs

Reworking large stones in the side yard

Relocating existing ornamental grasses and planting new ones

Installing a new irrigation system with 5 zones

Sodding the rear and side yards

Adding mulch around the patio and border areas

The project took about a week and a half and came in at $10,900. Now, three weeks later, we couldn’t be more thrilled. The sod looks beautiful, the irrigation is working flawlessly, and the entire space feels transformed—softer, greener, and infinitely more inviting.

Brady Landscaping & Construction exceeded our expectations at every step. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to quality left us confident we made the right choice. We are incredibly pleased with the results and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to turn their outdoor vision into reality.

We had an amazing experience with Mark and his team. They were incredibly efficient and did amazing work. We used them to update our rental property backyard and they did not disappoint. Mark listened to every request and was able to make our wishes come to light while keeping mind of budget.

I can’t speak highly enough of Mark and his crew. After a request for a quote, he called within a few hours and was attentive and present throughout the whole process. Mark came to our home multiple times and walked the property as we discussed a vision. He made suggestions based on his expertise and experience and was always patient with our requests. Mark’s personal touch is missing in today’s world and very much needed in this work. You can digitize a vision all you want, but person to person is still so valuable. He also worked with our budget and even returned a few times without us prompting to ensure everything is up to a standard of excellence. We will be using Mark and his team again and highly recommend him to anyone who has landscaping needs. Go with Brady Landscaping!
