Hard to believe the relationship with a landscape company could be so meaningful. The journey began when Bradley Landscape accepted the challenge of full property landscape at our previous home built in 1986. In 2017, we moved into a new home one block up the street and, yes, we partnered with Bradley Landscape once again. The installation was accomplished like clockwork and their weekly full-maintenance for the last five years has been flawless.
Not a day goes by without a passerby commenting about the beauty of the property. Thank you, Mike, Rebecca, Abi and staff, for helping make our La Jolla experience such a trouble-free pleasure.

Mike Albo and his great crew installed all our hardscape and landscape including irrigation and lighting during a major remodel of our home in San Clemente. There were many complicated elements to the design and construction and all of it came out excellent. All his crew were really great to work with, very reliable, and hard workers. Right up to the very end of the project, they were easy to reach and responsive to come back when needed to be sure everything was to our satisfaction. We will definitely use them again for any hardscape/landscape project.
