Home Services reviews in Salinas, California

For one, I Love the free roaming poultry as do any of my accompanying kids.
I appreciate Bokays plant diversity and health, arranged in a beautiful building and garden grounds. Their selection of Pots and containers are functional as well as attractive. They can diagnose garden issues and offer appropriate remedy’s to correct the problem. The owner is often on premise, yet available for house calls on landscaping issues. It is one of Our areas remaining LOCAL plant nursery’s and just a fun place to check out if your into Gardens.

Best nursery in 100 miles. Very knowledgeable friendly staff, charming chickens wandering about, good selection of quality plants. Jeff the apparent owner was extremely helpful, obviously loves his work.

I recently called to order a fruit tree for a friend and they were very helpful. They were quick to call me back and offered great advice about what to purchase. Being that I live out of town I felt confident about them following through. They did make a delivery for me & it was delivered that day just as promised & my friends are very excited about their new fruit tree.
I would highly recommend this nursery. Nowadays customer service doesn’t seem very important to many people but everyone I was in contact with was more than professional.
Thank you again for making my friends smile.

This place is the best local nursery in town. It really has that welcoming family-owned feel. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and personable. My small children love coming here just as much as I do, which is a huge bonus. They love to pull the shopping wagon, greet the chickens & turtles, and say hello to Buster the big friendly Bokay Mascot pup. Bokay is clean, professional. Bokay Nursey Therapy! It's a thing. Love this place.

I have loved Bokay Nursery for at least 40 years for many reasons. The entire staff is extremely friendly and very helpful. I can find anything I am looking for at Bokay. If I need assistance there is always someone ready to guide me or show me exactly where the items are. Their products are top grade. The staff is willing to order items not found on site. I feel so great when I am there amongst all the beauty of nature.

I really wanted to like this nursery and support a local business. I had been there a few times and was thrilled with the variety of plants. However after spending a lot of money on a couple grafted fruit trees, I was shocked at the response I got when returning for advice when one seemed to have trouble coming back after it's first winter. The employee was dismissive and finally shrugged her shoulders and suggested I try to give it some fertilizer ( the tree was dead). In an attempt to see what they would do for a returning customer, I asked if I could get a discount on a replacement and she said "we don't guarantee any of our plants."

This spring (second season) all the grafted branches on the second tree are dead and only the main tree is still alive.

So my advice is, if you buy from them 1) make sure any grafted tree is created using the fruit tree you want the most in case all the grafts die off; 2) keep in mind you have a 50/50 shot of the tree surviving at all and you won't get any advice if it starts to go bad.

I absolutely love this nursery. Everything I'm looking for and usually alot more 😆. Picked up a birdhouse planter box and lots of beautiful flowers. Went to a different nursery first and they had slim pickings. Silly me I know to come here first! Thanks you for the great customer service as well. I'll be back soon.

Friendly staff who let me come in and take photos~

I was preparing a house for sale. I was just going to grab a few plants to dress up the place so it wouldn’t look barren. Bokay’s staff helped me create a very simple landscape scheme that looked nice and was really cost effective. The house sold quickly. I drove by recently. Over a year later the plants are still thriving.

I’ve been shopping here for a little over a month and find such peace. Everyone is awesome and so helpful. Chuck is always helpful and his smile is contagious as well as his good mood.
Thank goodness for Bokay!

Jeff is awesome. I wanted to send flowers to a new moma. He made a perfect arrangement, and had it delivered, with a special note. I'm rarely in Salinas, but, will definitely stop in next time I pass through. Thank you so much Jeff.

I cannot say enough to fully express my appreciation for Gonzalo Aguilar and his crew from Planet Earth Garden Service. We hired Gonzalo to help us with several phases of hardscape improvements to our backyard, which included two substantial retaining walls, paver patio, concrete work, landscape irrigation with timers, sod / lawn and decomposed granite surface installation.

Gonzalo worked with us through several planning phases and proved to be knowledgeable and direct. He provided needed recommendations to move things along within the limits of our budget and preferences. In every instance we found Gonzalo to be attentive, honest, incredibly hard working and focused on the details that make a project satisfying when completed. His design sense is very good and he goes the extra mile to make sure the plan is executed with top quality workmanship.

Gonzalo brought our projects to completion within or under his written estimate and within planned time frames. He provided us with revised written estimates when there were changes mid-project. He was attentive when there were last minute changes (our doing) in materials selection - those changes always carried through to the final charges for the job without any controversy - again, Gonzalo proved to be honest, straightforward and ethical at every turn.

If you’ve checked around, you already know this kind of work will not be cheap if you want a result that will be lasting and satisfying. That being said, Gonzalo Aguilar and crew will deliver a landscaping project that will improve your living space and stay within your budget. We highly recommend Planet Earth Garden Service - they are “good people”.

Gonzalo and crew are fantastic! He responded within 24 hours of my reaching out and went to my house the same day to give a bid on the job. I needed a deep yard clean up and he was willing to handle it in two phases because there was so much to do. Gonzalo was communicative, honest and transparent about what needed to be done. My former gardener had to quit suddenly due to health issues and I am so grateful to Planet Earth for coming to my rescue! Looking forward to having you back and will absolutely recommend your services.

Gonzalo and his brother were amazing redoing my garden.
Worked for 3 days during our rainy season in Carmel !
Showed always on time and delivered everything that we prearranged.
I’m going to use his services and expertise in my second phase of my project soon.
Highly recommended!!!

Carlos and his team have kept our yard looking flawless for several years now, and they are consistently perfect. Show up on time, work hard, sweat the details, leave everything cleaner and better every single visit. If you want a yard that quietly looks amazing all the time, these are your people.

Recomiendo a Fredy landscaping me iso un trabajo en mi patio i quede muy satisfecha

Un trabajo muy profesional y muy bien hecho, definitivamente 100% recomendado.

Realmente me encanto el trabajo que hizo Freddy Landscaping, trabajo muy bien hecho lo recomiendo.

excellent work , quality and trust . It is a very good option and a first class service

Horrible, awful, BEWARE! Will use a gas powered leaf blower so early in the morning you feel it’s torture. No common sense and the most disgusting person I know. Beware beware beware!

I had a great experience with this landscaping company! Their prices were fair, the quality of their work was excellent, and they were efficient and professional throughout the process. I needed help repairing a retaining wall and installing drains to address flooding in my front yard. They completed everything in just three days, and the results turned out even better than I expected. Highly recommend!

¡Tuve una excelente experiencia con esta empresa de jardinería! Sus precios son justos, la calidad de su trabajo es excelente y fueron eficientes y profesionales durante todo el proceso. Necesitaba reparar un muro de contención e instalar desagües para solucionar problemas de inundación en mi jardín delantero. Terminaron todo en solo tres días y el resultado fue incluso mejor de lo que esperaba. ¡Los recomiendo mucho!
