Vince's Landscaping is the best! We initially used Yardzen to come up with the landscaping designs and then hired Steve to implement the plans. Throughout the whole process, Steve was engaged, knowledgeable, and responsive. He showed us some of the flaws of the preliminary designs and gave us better ideas for what was realistic to implement considering our budget, terrain, and timeframe. Steve and his crew were amazing to work with - they showed up early, were detail-oriented, worked tirelessly in the hot sun, and were respectful and communicative every step of the way.
Our backyard was transformed from an eyesore to an oasis that our whole family loves! Steve was so wonderful that we used his services again for our front yard renovation and it came out beautifully. I highly recommend Vince's for all your landscaping projects!

We just completed our second project with Steve. We couldn't be happier in both occasions and wouldn't hesitate hiring Steve and crew again in the future. Our latest project was a complete landscape remodeling and it was completed on time and on budget. We are very happy with their proposed plans, design suggestions and execution, especially with the hardscaping. We think that Steve and crew are very experienced and detail oriented with their work.
They bring in the correct equipment and crew and they don't cut corners. Their results show that. The final result is much better than anything we could've ever imagined and looking forward to enjoying our home in the years to come.

Vince's Landscaping just now completed our front yard, and I'm so happy with the results, I wanted to write a review right away! I contacted 5 landscaping companies for our small job (removing our front lawn and installing a dry creek and drought resistant plants with drip lines). Two of the companies never even called me back. Vince's is one of the 3 companies that responded to my estimate request.
I worked with Adam, and he was fantastic. He was always quick to respond and had great communication regarding all aspects of the project. The cost estimate was right in the middle of the two I received. The crew (with Lalo as the foreman, who was also fantastic), finished the job in 3 days. They were efficient and cleaned up everyday, but most importantly, they did quality work. The final result is even better than I had envisioned. Thank you so much Adam and company!

Vince's Landscaping redid our entire front and backyard and did a great job. They completely transformed our property from tired and old to fresh and new. The project started a week before shelter-in-place happened (Mar 2020), but Steve kept in touch weekly began as soon as CA allowed workers back. In order to make up for lost time, they came back with multiple crews to level and irrigate the new landscape and then worked efficiently and with great attention to detail to make our dream yard happen. Throughout the whole process, it was a pleasure working with Steve as well as the crew in charge at our house. 10/10 would recommend Vince's Landscaping to anyone in need of a new yard.

Steve and Vince's Landscaping gave us our dream backyard! I couldn't be more impressed by how reliable, conscientious and timely Steve and his crew were. We took out an old wood deck and did grading in order to make the backyard all one level; a combination of pavers and grass with a gorgeous wood pergola with a sun shade and patio lights. He also planted citrus trees and various other plants that make the backyard pop!
In a time when contractors are anything but reliable and who promise the world but then don't deliver it was so very refreshing to work with Steve at Vince's because I always knew I could get in touch with him about the project and I trusted that if something was going to cost more than what we agreed on there would be a discussion first. It was so easy working with Steve on the and I could not be happier with the results. We are so excited to have friends over to enjoy the gorgeous much more usable space! I only wish they did kitchens! :
