I deeply appreciate Scott and his crew. I had such a good time with all of them. They helped us so much, because of their expertise. Knowledge was great. Patience with us was outstanding, their layout of placement of plants was beautiful. We have them do maintenance on everything now, which even with this they are above and beyond. I do tell friends who are seeking this kind of help in their future plans. This is your team! I smile every time I see them. Oh, my neighbors are flabbergasted!

While the landscapers are personally kind, they seem to prioritize profit over beauty or health of the gardens they maintain. They have been landscaping my condo complex for over a year now, and every month they blow away the top soil, prune bushes and trees in odd shapes, with no regard for the look of things. The grounds have progressively looked worse over time.

Seems like a very outdated company that does not know what to do in a drought. Near my home CCLM misusing RoundUp by spraying it on dirt in edgings and sidewalk cracks like a weed preventative The hired workers do not seem to have much good training or supervision. Recently used RoundUp on lawn in attempt to kill weeds and killed and created dead brown spots in lawn already stressed by drought and their too short mowing.

Apparently they think white dutch clover is a weed and go at it with RoundUp. Clover is beautiful, green, nitrogen fixing fertilizer reducer, drought tolerant and food source to bees and butterflies. They also bag and take away rather than leave clippings to assist in mulching and fertilizing lawns. Additionally they seem not to know how not to further stress already stressed plants by over pruning and completely cutting off water to them. They rake up the natural leaf litter from redwood groves exposing roots and bare dirt to walking traffic and lack of water stressing grove.
