Home Services reviews in Richmond, California

Really good fast service very tidy and a good price. They have dug out tough rooted trees for me and pruned a gigantic African milk tree -- see photo!

Just want to say how great these guys are. Called them late afternoon to get an estimate and Ignacio responded and went to my house within 15min for a quick and affordable estimate. Came in the 8:30am sharp as he promised. My palm trees were overgrown and needed some loving. His guys worked hard and fast and finish the job in no time. I absolutely recommend Ubaldino tree services to anyone looking for a proffessional team to handle their needs.

The work they do is top notch, the prices are reasonable, and the employees are terrific. Friendly, knowledgable, and hard workers.

That's why they get five stars from me. They have my full support. They're extremely pleasant and professional.

I’m a Bay Area painting contractor, I have been able to see the work BWD gardens is completing at a jobsite, I think the work looks amazing and professionally done, one day I hope to have a yard like the one they are creating and will give them a call myself to come do the work!

Wish I could give them zero stars. They took on our backyard design project. Took forever to get something together. Very uncommunicative and unavailable during the process. The plans they drew up were rejected twice by the city of Berkeley. They do not read what is requested and pay zero attention to details. We wasted a lot of money and time with them. They do not know their stuff when it comes to drawing up plans for even medium sized projects.

BWD Gardens did an amazing job of designing and implementing our beautiful new garden. We did a total demolition taking down a dividing wall and replaced lawns with a native plant garden and a living and dining area covered with pergolas, as well as a BBQ and bar.

Brian Whyte designed a drought-tolerant garden in our small yard, and installed driveway pavers and replaced brick work leading to our front door. I'd been concerned that "drought tolerant" would look like a desert frontier. Nope. Brian created a pretty little garden that fits our locale, and spent a terrific amount of time finding just the right color pavers/bricks to match existing bricks.
I can't say enough about how friendly and charming his team members were, or how attentive they were to details and clean up. We're enjoying the decrease in water usage and honey bees are loving our kurapia ground cover.
The project took longer than we'd have liked — or than Brian would have — but it's done. We have lots of pedestrian traffic in front of our house, and people have gone out of their way to tell us how much they like the new yard/lawn replacement.
Brian returned post-completion to change out the stakes on our young birch trees, making sure trunks have the right support for them to fatten up. Plus: do you love the low, Brian-designed fence that replaced a thirsty hedge? He measured the angle of our roof, then cut stake points to match it - that's a design professional.

BWD did a great job on our backyard remodel. We were having drainage issues and they figured out where all of the gutters drained and suggested installing two drywells, which did a great job during the heavy rains the last few weeks. They also installed a lovely bluestone paver patio and redid our sprinkler system and built a beautiful, custom bench. Brian and the team were great at listening to our concerns/ideas and suggesting remedies. We are very happy with their services!

We loved working with BWD and hired them to redo our front yard. Our neighborhood has a strict and finicky HOA, but Brian and his team were very patient and flexible as we had to sort out so many approvals with our HOA. During the middle of the project, we had to go out of town for a week and the crew took careful care of everything and sent us pictures of the progress everyday. The communication with BWD was A+, and they answered all of our millions of questions. Brian and his crew were professional, knowledgeable, and the most pleasant team to work with. We are so pleased with our front yard that we are already drumming up ideas for our back yard. Thanks BWD Gardens!

BWD gardens did an incredible job transforming our back yard into a beautiful and inviting outdoor living space.

Brian helped us completely reimagine the layout and make the best use of our space. He is a very thoughtful and creative designer, with a keen eye for details, and knowledgeable about his materials (plants, stone, mulch, lighting, etc.). He is also an excellent listener, and was great about balancing our ideas with his own - he incorporated our wants/needs while steering us gracefully to a plan that would be successful. It was really fun working with him. And then his team was efficient, professional, and friendly, and executed his plan beautifully, ahead of schedule!

We ended up with a space that is exactly what we were hoping for, but not something that we could have dreamed up on our own. We’re excited to watch our plants grow and enjoy spending time in our new garden!

Brian and his team transformed our unusable backyard into a tropical oasis! Brian really took the time to listen to what we’d want out of our space and he reused so much of what was already there. I really really liked that - old wood & flagstone was repurposed and tuned into something beautiful.

The crew was always on time and extremely professional. They had great ideas and we improvised when the yard presented random quirks - it didn’t derail the work. The yard was completed before schedule and every minor detail was looked into.

Extremely happy with how our yard looks now!

Brian and his team were a delight to work with from start to finish. Kind and honest team who do great work and are receptive and responsive to feedback. Brian and his team are knowledgeable and creative and designed and installed a garden oasis that truly feels like an extension of our home, making our dream of indoor-outdoor living come true.

We worked with BWD to turn our backyard from a literal dirt pit into a water-wise, drought-resistant, CA native plant-filled paradise. Elements included a stone paver patio, custom pergola, two swales, fire pit, play structure installation, irrigation, deer fence, wood fence and gates, and planting.

We’re thrilled with the result and highly recommend BWD!

man those guys make a really good me gusto el precio y la rapidez con lo que lo hisieron LOS RECOMIENDO

Good quality work! Friendly and accommodating. Fair on price and got the job done quickly. I would definitely use him again! He even helped my neighbor with their sprinklers too!

We sought out the services of Rene and his team after seeing the amazing work he did on our neighbor's front yard. He came highly recommended by them and after seeing the work they did for us, we can see why. We had a huge clean up job in our back yard and a bad foxtail weed infestation. Rene and his team came in and did an amazing job clearing, treating and laying down weed control and pea gravel as requested. They were very polite and worked diligently, quickly and to a high standard. They were very clean in the way they operated and left our back yard in an incredible state for a very reasonable price. We are looking at further jobs we want doing at some point and will be reaching back out to Rene and his team. Would highly recommend.

Can I just say how grateful we are that Dago and his crew continue to tolerate us through multiple projects? We started with big trash collecting juniper shrubs that had an oddly strong odor. His crew quickly removed them. Unfortunately my husband and I are the opposite of a green thumb and couldn’t decide on a solution with curb appeal that met our requirements for very, VERY low maintenance. After a year of indecision, we finally moved forward and could not be more thrilled! They completely changed the look of our home.

I can’t say enough good things about Dago and his team. He’s one of those rare professionals who combines skill, integrity, and genuine care for his work. From day one, he’s been honest, transparent about pricing, and incredibly hardworking.

Dago shows up when he says he will, does exactly what he promises (and often more), and takes real pride in the details — whether it’s planting, clean-up, irrigation, or design. He communicates clearly, explains what needs to be done and why, and never cuts corners. It’s obvious he treats every project as if it were his own home.

In a world where reliability can be hard to find, Dago stands out. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, consistent, and talented, you couldn’t find a better landscaper. Highly recommended!

Lorenzo is very nice he communicates very well and responds quickly to text messages. He’s very thorough with his yard work and does a GREAT JOB and his prices are affordable. I’ll definitely use him again.

He visto muchos de sus trabajos y la verdad que son muy buenos

It was a little expensive, but good customer service and delivered product ahead of schedule! Would recommend this place for your needs!
