With a decade of landscaping experience in Orange County, California, AV Landscaping provides quality services for your residential and commercial spaces.
I don’t usually take the time to leave reviews, but the exceptional service I received from AV Landscaping truly deserves recognition. From the very start, their availability was outstanding—they were quick to respond and flexible in accommodating my schedule. Their pricing was not only fair but also transparent, which is something I greatly appreciate. There were no hidden fees or surprises, just honest and competitive rates. Most importantly, their professionalism was second to none. The team was knowledgeable, efficient, and paid close attention to every detail. They transformed my outdoor space beyond my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for reliable and high-quality landscaping services, I highly recommend Av Landscaping.
Alex and the AV team did a phenomenal job installing privacy hedges for us. They were very responsive, professional and went out of their way to make sure things were perfect. Would definitely recommend and will use them for future projects!!
We called and Alex came out the same day to give us a quote. We accepted his quote and he started a few days later. It was a small project, installing drain lines in our side yard, had to cut through some concrete. David came with his crew and did a great job, finishing one day ahead of schedule. Alex was responsive to any questions, sent progress photos and kept us informed. They left the job cleaner than we they started, sweeping off our patio which was not part of the project. We are pleased with the work and feel Alex gave us a fair quote for the work done. We will be reaching out to Alex when we have another project.
Alex and his team are currently doing our front and backyard landscaping and it has been a great experience. Alex made sure to accommodate our HOA requirements and helped us come up with a design that we love. He is always prompt with detailed updates on the project and is quick to address any concerns. His team has been incredibly efficient and they are very nice people. His pricing is very reasonable and the quality of their work is excellent. Our house is definitely one of cutest in the neighborhood, we are super happy and can’t wait for the end result. I highly recommend AV landscaping.
We began and completed our project with Alex in July of this year. We gave him some plans/ideas for what we were looking for and he made it happen on time and within budget. Alex will manage the whole project from start to finish. We had a complete remodel of the backyard, including hardscape, painting, lighting, irrigation, and gate/fence building. Alex wasn't pushy and had consideration for our budget throughout the entire project. He even added a couple of extra items at no cost. His crew was nice, showed up on time, and kept the project site clean every day. If I had questions, I could call Alex and he'd either come over or text/call me right back. When Alex and his crew finished the project, I noticed some of the newly planted plants were dying. This was during the heatwave, so I increased the watering but unfortunately, several plants didn't make it. A majority of the new plants didn't have issues, so I don't know if it is user error or I just got some bad plants. I'll be calling Alex to see if he's got a fix and update this review if we find a solution. Lastly, Alex is very energetic, passionate, and knowledgeable when it comes to landscaping. More importantly, Alex is trustworthy and honest which is rare nowadays. My standards are pretty high and I don't often write reviews or give recommendations, but Alex and his crew won me over. I would highly recommend Alex to family and friends.
We recently worked with AV Landscape, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Alex, the owner, was extremely thorough and professional throughout the entire process. They removed an existing BBQ island and replaced it with a stunning gas fire pit that has completely transformed our outdoor space. They also handled the landscaping and mulching for our entire backyard, and it looks amazing. Alex and his team were punctual, detail-oriented, and very easy to work with. We are beyond pleased with the results. If you’re looking for a dependable landscaping company, I highly recommend AV Landscape
We had a hard time deciding to spruce up our backyard because it was gonna cost a pretty penny. But let me tell you, working with Alex was awesome! Even with our tight budget, he was so flexible and managed to make our backyard dreams come true. Not only did his team go above and beyond, but they also gave us some great ideas that made the project turn out even better than we imagined. Alex is a pro who really cares about making his customers happy - we totally recommend him!
We just finished a big outdoor renovation project with AV Landscaping and could not be happier with the final results. Alex, the owner was super responsive/thorough from the beginning to the end. When we reached out to him in March, he was the first of many contractors to offer a real solution for a massive slope and drainage issue with a competitive quote. The project started out small with a French drain to catch continuous hill seepage as well as some sprinkler, light and plant updates. Then to capitalize on timing, we tripled the work with removing oddly placed planters, removing unneeded walls and gates, waterproofing additional retaining walls, adding matching hardscape (entertainment/bbq area, entry, sidewalk and 3rd parking space) plus re-hauling irrigation, plants and lighting— basically transformed the entire backyard and updated the side yard and front yard. There were a few obstacles, as the property is 50+/- years old with tricky elevation changes. Through it all, Alex was very patient, super responsive and thoughtful, always open to ideas and wouldn’t give up until a solution was found. He gave frequent video updates and voice messages. His team- Omar and crew were friendly, efficient, professional, clean, on time every single day and went above and beyond. Highly recommend AV Landscaping!
Alex and his crew did a great job cleaning and trimming our yard with fair pricing and even power washed our concrete. Would highly recommend for anybody looking for reliable landscaping work.
AV landscaping was outstanding. From the moment from the first phone call and talking to Alex and he came over very promptly. I told him everything I needed done. He got it all done for the price he quoted. He got it done quickly. The next day I had a huge huge lemon tree that he had to take almost 2/3 of it down and he did a beautiful job. All the neighbors commented how much better it looks and I would recommend highly recommend Alex again. He is the tops.
I recently hired AV Landscaping for a complete overhaul of my yard, and I couldnt be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final walk-through, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and highly attentive to my needs and vision. Even the owner himself visited the site everyday. They worked efficiently, transforming my outdoor space into a beautiful, functional landscape that exceeded my expectations. Every detail, from the choice of plants to the design of the walkways, was carefully considered and executed with precision. They stayed on schedule, were responsive to all my questions, and ensured that the project was completed within the agreed budget. If youre looking for a reliable, professional, and talented landscaping company, I highly recommend this company.
I happen to find them on google and their reviews were and are stellar. They went above and beyond to make my property look amazing. No corners were cut on the project and with full transparency of the project. I received videos of the days progress which was very appreciated. I have already referred them to my neighbors.
Owner Alex came out to my place and spent an hour with me going over what I want. Not a big job and I even told him about half hour after he arrived that if he really doesnt want it please let me know but dont leave me hanging. He said he would have an estimate for me in a couple of days. Nothing came so I waited a week and followed up with him via text. He had totally forgot and then said he would have something for me next day. I am writing this a week later and guess what, no quote was ever provided. Thanks for wasting my time.
Another transformation by Alex and team! Were so happy with the backyard Alex did a few years back he was our first call for our next phase. Weve wanted to do major updates to the exterior and front of our house including removal of lots of trim, significant areas of new stucco, new paint scheme, white wash chimney, new walkway, break down planters, and sand and stain our existing horizontal fence and pergola. Alex was always responsive from quote process to progress and lastly making sure all the details were impeccable (he noticed things we didnt as well) upon completion. Alex is very knowledgeable and always available for your needs and a text or call away. We had a few changes during this project and Alex worked with us to suggest design and visual appeal ideas, identify solutions, and resolve issues. We feel like we got a new home and love the curb appeal now. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Alex for any project you have - in fact had a friend referred after our first project and they have a review here and very happy as well! Thanks Alex! This review includes photos from our backyard project done a couple of years ago with Alex and then our recent front yard and paint project.
Alexs team was professional timely and clean . Job well done .
What a professional company! I first contacted AV Landscaping in mid-April at the same time I contacted a couple of other companies. We had an old, out-of-style fountain in our backyard that leaked all the time, and we wanted to replace it with a more modern look. A few companies literally never returned my call and a few others, I was unimpressed with when talking with them by phone. From the moment I made contact with Alex, I was extremely impressed by his follow-through, pride in his work and sense of ownership and, most unusually apparently in this industry, his focus on customer service. In addition to my interest in the work itself, my big concern was also the timeline. We were out of town at the moment and in four weeks, we would be heading back home with our FOUR dogs. Doing any kind of landscape project efficiently with four dogs who needed to access the yard regularly would be next to impossible. So I asked if we could coordinate all of this virtually and finish the job within the four weeks before we got back in town. He accepted the challenge! He came out to our house literally the very next day, and we FaceTimed, and I explained my vision for the area and he shared his observations as well. After agreeing on the design plan, the scope of work and the price (which was not inexpensive but completely reasonable), he and his crew started work on May 3. After the layout, extensive concrete work, fountain build and plumbing, timers, plant and dripper installs, lighting installation and ugly tree removals were all complete, they finished on May 26 - just in time for our arrival home! Alex communicated extensively throughout the project and always kept me up to date on what was happening. They were very respectful of our property while we were out of town and they cleaned up meticulously. If I suggested an alternate idea that was a dumb one, he would very gracefully tell me why he recommended a different approach. And his design instinct was always right. After the project was finished and we were home, he came back with his crew several times to make a few other adjustments and tweaks to make sure everything was working perfectly and just as we liked it. I cannot say enough good things about this company this level of customer service and attention to detail seems to be more rare all the time. Thank you, Alex and crew, for transforming our backyard fountain area into something that we will be proud of for years to come!
We had a waterproofing project in Los Angeles and received multiple quotes. We had water leaking from multiple planters into the garage below. We decided to try AV Landscaping after consulting with Alex and his team about how water was getting in and what we needed to do. Overall we were very pleased with the outcome. The pricing was more than fair and the timeline to complete the project was not only on time but a few days early. We are now working with them on a separate landscaping project!
Alex and his team did a great job, not only fixing my retaining wall, but adding a lot of space to my back yard. His team was professional and hard working, getting the job done in a timely fashion and cleaning everything up really nice after. Im very satisfied with how the project came out!
The AV Landscaping team did an incredible job brings our patio pavers back to life. They were prompt, organized and kept the work area very clean. Thank you Alex and team. The first photo shows work in progress to show the difference. The second photo is the finished product.
I recently hired Alex at AV Landscaping in Mission Viejo to update my backyard, and I couldnt be happier with the results. The transformation was remarkable! The team not only met but exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the project. Their professionalism and expertise were evident and they had great communication. Their attention to detail was impressive. They installed a new irrigation system, outdoor lighting, grass, plants, completely renewed an old stucco wall and restained the patio. What truly set them apart was their dedication to ensuring every detail was perfect. Throughout the project, the team was incredibly courteous and respectful of my property. They worked diligently to minimize disruptions and always kept me informed of their progress. Their friendly demeanor made the entire process a pleasure from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and hire AV Landscaping!
Alex and his team did a professional job troubleshooting and repairing our backyard drainage issues. Alex always kept us informed and visited the project site every day. It was great working with them from day 1 through project completion. I think they provided exceptional service, and I would definitely work with AV landscaping again.
We combed through yelp for nearly all the contractors in the OC area, made a short list of ~50, reached out to a dozen, met with half a dozen, got several estimates then finally decided to go with Alex. All things considered (portfolio, experience, cost, reviews, time-wise, etc..) he was way better than the rest. From the very beginning I had a great experience, Alex was quick to schedule a walk through so he could give an estimate and he gave the initial one very quickly. We then went back to the drawing board because we wanted to add some more features to the backyard, which actually took a couple months. With the new design, Alex didnt miss a beat and gave an updated estimate within a couple days. He was also ready to start ASAP, like tomorrow. After paying Alex the initial payment (which he very nicely offered multiple payment plants with varying discounts), I was nervous. Despite the great reviews, excellent communication thus far, and no red flags on his contractor license lookup, technically any contractor could just drag their feet and delay doing the job. Ive heard many nightmare stories like this. That was 0 percent of my experience with Alex and his crew. Right on time, they showed up and started working. After that, there was never any doubt that the crew would show up and do great work. During this time, Alex was very involved, communicating the progress of the project very often; which was removing all existing hardscape and softscape. Then, installing tiles, steppers, building 2 benches, a tree perimeter, installing a fire table, adding diverse softscape (trees, hedges, succulents, fruit trees, etc..), LED lights, wood screens, and irrigation. Quite a complex project, basically an entire redo! During the project we really worked together to come up with what was practical and aesthetic. Alex is also very experienced and has great attention to details. I couldnt believe how many parts it took to put together a bench when I saw the invoice, but we didnt have to handle any of that. He just showed us the wood samples and asked us to pick. The same goes for other details, such as adding a weed guard in our pottery, adding odor absorber for our turf, and the list goes on These are no corner cutting things a good contractor like him would just do without you even asking. Finally, the irrigation and LED lights were super easy to hook up to bluetooth and wifi. Their app was super easy to use and rated 5/5 in the app store and connected to Alexa very easily (again small details but very important nonetheless). Finally, we requested specific fruit trees, which were not easy to find... Alex ended up visiting 3 different nurseries before finally getting them. He actually could have taken the easy route, as the nursery DID have the trees we wanted in stock. But, he took the extra time to talk to the nursery owner and verify that the trees we listed would actually bear fruit well. We actually love, love the peach tree he got us as its supposed to yield 5 different peaches and some are growing already! In summary, I would highly recommend Alex and his crew. Alex is experienced, knows his stuff, really cares, and does things the right way. I wish I had friends who were doing backyard projects so I can recommend him to them.
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex and his company, AV Landscaping, to renovate our entire yard, and we honestly couldnt be more pleased with the results and service. Alex not only provided the best price by far but also demonstrated exceptional transparency throughout the entire process. He took the time to thoroughly explain the work that needed to be done and the various options available, including the pros and cons of each. What truly impressed me was Alexs commitment to going above and beyond. In addition to the agreed-upon renovations, he generously included a variety of complementary services that enhanced the overall look and functionality of my yard. His attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set him apart. I highly recommend Alex and AV Landscaping to anyone in need of top-notch landscaping services. With his fair pricing, transparency, and willingness to go the extra mile, you can trust that youre in good hands. Thanks again, Alex, for transforming our yard into a beautiful outdoor space!
If you are looking to remodel your backyard, look no further as Alex Woodard is your guy! Alex and his team did an outstanding job remodeling our backyard. He is a thorough professional, very responsive, a great communicator and fair on pricing. Most importantly he is extremely passionate about what he does and is demonstrated through the quality of his work. He came up with some really unique and innovative ideas for our backyard that have given it a resort like look. He transformed our old jacuzzi into a stunning masterpiece with in-built LED lighting that gave it a refreshing makeover. He also designed and built a custom made fire pit seating area with in-built LED lighting that we cannit stop raving about. He went above and beyond installing multiple power and USB outlets throughout the backyard. The backyard lighting he provided gives a completely different feel to the backyard. He also came up with a brilliant idea of creating a basketball area with a three pointer line that our kids cannot stop enjoying. He also helped us install our center gazebo area and recommended us the amazing 4K aluminum patio cover for our Sommerset barbecue island which he and his crew helped install. This was our first time doing such a big project and we are so thankful that we chose Alex and his AV landscaping team to do it for us. All in all it has been an extremely wonderful experience working with Alex and his crew. We absolutely recommend him for this and will also choose him to do our front yard in the future. Please try him out, its worth it!
Alex is a great person to work with. He was responsive since day 1, came here and sent us the quote in 3-4 days, we quickly realized he had knowledge and knew how to do his job. The quote was very detailed, which helped us decide what we wanted to invest or not. Another positive point is that he listened to what we want and proposed solutions based on that. Even though it was not a huge work for him, he made sure to be here and walk his crew through everything, make sure the job was done correctly. Another really good thing is that he thought about everything and they did the entire job ( instead of those contractors that pick and choose what they do). We didnt have to stress out with anything from trash, material or issues throughout the job. The price he charges is fair because he delivers it a great customer experience. We loved working with him and will hire him in the future again.
AV Landscaping handled our backyard remodel which consisted of demo, installation of new pavers, BBQ islands, water feature, plants, irrigation, artificial turf and some lighting. Alex worked with us to execute our design ideas and offered tasteful solutions to accomplish our remodel goals. Alex and team were very hard working and accommodating to our change requests. We experienced a major issue with our patio cover installation performed by a subcontractor that walked away from the job after ruining the finish of our 4k aluminum patio cover. Alex assisted in finding another patio cover contractor and worked with them to resolve the issue. We are extremely happy with our end product and recommend AV Landscaping.
My wife and I worked directly with Alex the owner of AV Landscaping and had a great experience with Alex and his crew. We asked him to provide us with a quote for a brick driveway expansion, stucco retaining wall, and Redwood Fence. We received another three quotes from separate Landscape companies and Alexs quote was very competitive. He was also responsive, and very open to our questions and ideas. Alex and his crew were on site almost every day for approximately two weeks and Alex provided me with daily updates on their progress and estimated time of completion for each stage of the project. Overall, my wife and are very impressed with the finished product and quality of the work. I highly recommend hiring AV Landscaping for any Landscaping projects you are looking to start.
AV landscaping was excellent, and easy to work with. I had a medium sized job that I had been having a hard time getting a fair estimate on for months. AV landscaping not only provided a very fair estimate for the scope of work, but also completed the work within a week of making the bid. Additionally, the landscapers that came to perform the work were courteous, professional and did an excellent job. I will definitely be using AV for my landscaping needs going forward and would recommend anyone who needs landscaping services do the same.
We had an AMAZING experience working with AV Landscaping. Alex and his team were nothing but professional, proficient, and best of all on time with everything. We had a whole backyard rehaul due to sprinkler and drainage issues and we can t be happier with the results. We stayed on budget and there were no surprises throughout the project, we even added some scope and Alex and his team still finished on time. He was able to fully paver our yard and added turf as well as a surrounding 0 maintenance garden with beautiful rocks and lighting all around. We enjoyed the experience so much we had him and team do our front yard as well. We initially had bids from a few companies but Alex came in with the most reasonable and fair price, as well as comprehensive design expertise. We had a general idea of what we wanted but he came in and made it even better! Alex s creative vision is really something else. We cannot recommend AV landscaping more!
Alex and his team were professional and thorough. I also appreciated how quickly they were able to complete the work at our property.
Cannot recommend Alex and his team enough!!! They completely transformed our front, back, and side yards!! I am so pleased with how everything turned out and am constantly getting compliments from neighbors and visitors! Our project was huge! They took out hardscape and added drainage, sprinklers, drip system, did brick repair, new brick work, new concrete work, new hose location, fountain set up, vine training, wifi smart sprinklers and drip, and all new lighting. My husband just called him (1.5 years after the completion of our project) because we were having an issue with our sprinkler box and he brought us a new box and set it up for us. He truly loves what he does and goes above and beyond to give customers a great experience! I will edit to add photos! Highly recommend Alex and his team!!
We wanted in our backyard a grass area with new irrigation. Starting from scratch. Moved into in this house last year. DIY project. Love it! Need a lawn for the grandkids to enjoy and the pups to lay on. The trenches were already dug. Help us finish the project please. Thats all. Spoke with Alex and he showed up the same day. Four days later I texted wondering when we could expect a bid/quote. Sorry for the delay he says. We were just wondering. Two days later I texted, did you email the quote, often my email is spelled incorrectly, lemme check, he says. Never heard back from him! So unprofessional! If there were a zero for the ratings, Id give that. Scratching my head. Why would you sacrifice your integrity??? Such a small project. Moving on.....
Our patio was in desperate need of help. Whenever it rained, water and mud would pour off our slope and onto our patio. We also wanted the retaining wall to be moved back 4 feet because our patios seating area was too small. We requested bids for a new retaining wall. Alex with AV Landscaping came back with the most reasonable bid. They installed all new drains in addition to cementing the new footing area. We also had them redo our driveway with pavers, and it turned out beautifully. Both the work and the service were excellent. We are very happy with how everything came out. Alex is very amiable and meticulous about his work. They were very professional and cleaned up after themselves as if they had never been there. Definitely, well use them again!
I recently hired a AV Landscaping company to install two retaining walls and garden boxes in my backyard, and I am extremely pleased with the results. From start to finish, Alex and his team displayed exceptional professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail throughout the entire project. The team paid meticulous attention to every aspect, including the alignment of the retaining wall, the precision in measuring and leveling the garden boxes, and the seamless integration of drainage systems. Their commitment to quality was evident in every step they took. Moreover, the team maintained a clean and organized work environment throughout the installation process. They cleaned up after themselves each day, leaving my property neat and tidy. I greatly appreciated their respect for my space and their efforts to minimize any inconvenience during the construction. The pricing was fair and transparent, with no hidden costs or surprises along the way. The companys commitment to customer satisfaction was evident throughout the project, as they regularly checked in with me to ensure that everything was progressing as planned. The final result exceeded my expectations. It has transformed the landscape, adding depth and character to the backyard. I wholeheartedly recommend AV Landscaping for any project!
Incredible Transformation By AV Landscaping: A Five-Star Experience! I am more than thrilled to write this glowing review for AV Landscaping, who recently undertook a mammoth task of transforming my severely overgrown front, side, and backyard into a welcoming and serene oasis. Alex, the principal operator of AV Landscaping, led his team with diligence and unwavering focus. They came to a yard that had suffered neglect for a few months and was swallowed by unruly growth, thanks to recent rainstorms. However, Alex and his crew didnt bat an eye and plunged headfirst into the jungle-like conditions with commendable professionalism and fervor. What impressed me most was their meticulous attention to detail. They didnt merely chop down the overgrowth; instead, they painstakingly ensured that all the pesky weeds were pulled out by their roots to prevent recurrence. The trees were not just randomly cut back; they were carefully trimmed to enhance their health and aesthetic appeal. Moreover, Alex went above and beyond the call of duty by also removing a few unwanted trees, providing more yard space than I ever knew I had. Every interaction with AV Landscaping exuded professionalism, from their timely arrival to their efficient execution of tasks and the neat cleanup post job. Alexs proactive communication throughout the process gave me peace of mind and ensured I was involved in every step of the transformation. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex and his AV Landscaping team to anyone who seeks a reliable, professional, and thoroughly impressive landscaping service. My satisfaction extends beyond what words can express, and the newfound beauty of my yards stands testament to their exceptional skill and dedication. AV Landscaping, I cannot thank you enough!
Alex did a great job on our backyard! He was great to work with, and turned our dying planters into a beautiful filled in, colorful scene. His team also fixed our broken uplighting system, cleaned it out and installed a new WiFi controller. They also fixed our broken sprinklers and replaced the box with a new WiFi timer. We love our new yard!
Alex and his crew was very responsive, professional, and the best of all very reasonable. The guys always showed up on time like clockwork, and was hard at work until the job is finished. My backyard looks wonderful and I already referred AV Landscaping to my friends and neighbors.
I don t even know where to begin. I want to thank Alex and his team for making this process such a wonderful experience. From meeting to get a quote to letting Alex know my budget and him figuring out how to get what I wanted at an affordable price I am beyond grateful. They got the job done faster than anticipated. They always kept the area clean and were just wonderful at listening to me every step of the way. Alex had patience with me even when I made a quick last minute change. He even checked in afterwards to make sure I was happy and had had time to look over the whole backyard. I have already recommended them to my family and friends and if you are looking to do something big or small to your home I highly recommend Alex and his team hands down!
I am absolutely thrilled with the remarkable transformation that AV Landscaping, led by Alex and his skilled crew, achieved in both my front and backyard. The project started with the complete removal and disposal of old plants, followed by a stunning installation of new foliage that exceeded my expectations. The thoughtfulness extended to landscape lighting, with LED fixtures enhancing both aesthetics and functionality during evenings. Throughout the process, his teams professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise were evident, turning my outdoor spaces into a captivating oasis. If youre seeking a top-notch landscaping partner, AV Landscaping is the clear choice. Thank you, Alex and team, for crafting my dream outdoors space!
The service provided was excellent. Alex was very attentive to all of our landscaping needs. Follow up was great. Replaced some of the plants that didn t make it first time around without question I would use them again, and I highly recommend that you do.
Had to get around 6yd of dirt removed from my backyard to a dumpster in the street. Av Landscapings team did an excellent job and completed the project as requested. Would highly recommend this company and would use them again for any landscaping projects. Communication with the owner Alex was excellent.
Alex was great to work with, fair price, on time and quick getting the job done in a very professional manner. I would use him again for sure and definitely recommend Alex and his crew!
We are we are very happy with the way our backyard looks thanks to AV Landscaping. We started out just wanting pavers, but thanks to Alex s vision our yard looks much better than originally anticipated. AV also straightened our retaining wall, planted new greenery, and replaced our old grass with artificial turf, which looks fantastic! Finishing touches such as tree lighting and mulch around the new plants make a difference. These were Alex s suggestions which really make the yard look top notch. Alex was open to unexpected add-ons along the way and accommodated all our requests. The team was professional, friendly, and punctual. We are very please with how our yard looks now!
Alex and his team did a fantastic job with our small backyard renovation. They installed pavers, turf, and a fancy new-on-the-market fence around our old AC unit. We couldnt be happier with the end results. They will also get the job done quickly, just be patient with the communication, they do get busy. If youre looking to revamp your outdoor space, I recommend working with Alex and his team, they wont disappoint.
We ve been very happy with the work Alex and his crew have done for us, and it s our second time using his services. This time around they rebuilt our BBQ island, installed landscape lighting, and finished off some brickwork. He s very up front about costs and is very price conscious - giving suggestions according to your budget. He s available by phone any time for questions and gives you updates on the schedule. We were even out of town for a bit of it and he d send photo/video updates. The crew has always been great as well friendly, does great work, cleans up, etc. You can tell he s excited about what he does and wants what s best for you and your yard. Would definitely recommend Alex.
Where is the star for Very Good, nearly Great?? We just completed a large renovation of our back yard with Alex and AV Landscaping, large in scope and budget for us. It stretched them to be creative and Alex was up for the challenge. My favorite part is the new secondary retaining wall on our slope...it was made to match the lower wall and just looks great. All of the new plants are low maintenance with beautiful lighting and tons of weed-deterrent rocks. The concrete stairs are fabulous. I think the bigger challenge was removing and replacing a deck off the master bedroom. All of the work was precise with only a couple of minor glitches by laborers that were remedied. It was a fair price for good value and the only suggestion is for his team and the homeowner to plan for a longer time to complete. AV worked every day but it was just more than anyone expected. Alex included the under deck lighting and fan gratis...big thank you. He communicates well and I would recommend him!
Alex and the AV Landscaping crew are great to deal with. They are really capable across many trades. I used them to plant all new grass, hedges, rerun piping, install all new sprinkler lines and build a new brick wall. The work they do is quality and they know their business. From choosing the correct soil amendment to trouble shooting broken drain lines they did all it all. Their work is clean and efficient. Ive used AV on 3 different properties and each time they are a pleasure to deal with. Their pricing is good and their work is excellent. I highly recommend anyone looking to improve their landscaping to give AV a shot!
Alex of AV Landscaping did a superb job of re-landscaping the entire front yard of our home in Laguna Niguel. If we could give him 10 stars, we would! Everything went smoothly, from initial meeting, through planning, cost estimation, contract preparation, interactive plant selection with us to ensure our satisfaction, and execution of the job on schedule and at a reasonable cost. Alex expertly designed what we asked for, low maintenance, succulent based planters, a new soaker hose irrigation system and new LED based lighting. Alex s team did an extremely thorough job of planter preparation and soil amendment, essential for the durability and robustness of the new plantings. After the new plants were masterfully arranged by Alex and planted, and the soaker hoses were laid out, Alex s team covered the area surrounding the plants with pebble, thoroughly disguising the soaker hoses and giving the planters a very polished and professional look. Alex also designed two areas of small boulders and rocks, well placed and beautifully lit, as eye-catching accents to the landscaping. Since Alex completed our job, we have received many compliments from our neighbors and passers by regarding the beauty of our new landscaping. Finally, Alex is a pleasure to work with, extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to our requests and desires. He is truly a master of his craft, amazingly creative and artistic. Kudos and many thanks to Alex and his team!
Alex and his crew were professional, went above and beyond with the work they did, and wed be happy to recommend him to anyone that asks.
Hands down, would HIGHLY recommend Alex & his team to anyone! Alex was incredibly knowledgeable, always available and very professional throughout the whole process of re-doing our backyard. He runs an honest business and is very transparent about costs from the beginning. Working with Alex felt so easy and he made sure we were happy with both the process and the final product. His team was also wonderful they worked efficiently and were able to turn around our backyard in a week. We LOVE our new backyard and it s even better than we expected. Thank you, Alex!!
Alex did an amazing job and I would recommend him. He redid the landscaping in our front and backyard, laid concrete in the backyard, and removed multiple trees from the front and side yard. He also installed a new, easy to use sprinkler system. His crew was there early every morning and Alex was there every day and kept me in the loop on their progress. Once he was done he took time to show me how to use the new system and set the appropriate schedule. We plan on getting new gutters and doing a patio cover in the future and will definitely be using AV Landscaping.
I posted a positive review before the work was truly done...my mistake. Be forewarned, after months of contacting him, he hasnt satsfactorially finished the project. Seems he built an expensive deck that is splitting wood and leaking ooze and he isnt fixing it...yikes! Drip irrigation on upper slope is improper and my 10 year old plants are dying. The workers left concrete smears on broken brick and more errors. I cannot be the only homeowner having this experience. DONT USE THIS CONTRACTOR
Alex Woodard and his crew did a fantastic job installing our upstairs LVT flooring! We were in a pinch trying to find a contractor to replace the floor and Alex promptly got to our job to quote it and give us an exact date of when he could start the project. He and his guys are skilled at what they do and are efficient on the job. Not only does he do fantastic paver and landscape work, but is really good with any and all flooring projects. I would highly recommend him for your home exterior projects, as he is one of the best in the business. Thank you Alex!!!!
We had a flooding problem with water coming in under the house that caused significant damage. A Civil Engineer assessed the problem and recommended we put in a concrete patio with a slope to drain the rain water away from the house and install roof gutters and a drain line that connects with the main storm drain. AV Landscaping went above and beyond to complete the patio before a coming rainstorm- no more flooding. The patio and drain system came out great.
Alex and his guys were amazing. They were able to get things done quickly and cleaned up everyday. They even came back to fix a couple things after they were done. I wouldn t hesitate to use them again.
Alex and the crew were phenomenal. Quick, clean and very technical with phase 1 of our project. Cant wait for phase 2 and the exciting new design. I would highly recommend them, an I am excited to continue using them on our future projects.
Alex and his team delivered beyond expectations. Our yard needed a complete landscape overhaul. What was lurking below the surface is where Alexs team delivered most! My landscape drains had been completely overtaken by roots. My front lawn was a combination of weeds and exposed tree roots. My hardscape was being upended by a 30 year old Meloluca tree. Alexs crew cleaned it all out! Controlled and saved the Meloluca, replaced all my landscape drains, removed all the tree roots and replaced the lawn. Our front yard looks like new! Alex was upfront and transparent about pricing and delivered ahead of schedule.
We have been in our home for 30 years and wanted to upgrade the landscaping in our front and back yard. I searched Yelp for a long time and then found Alex at AV Landscaping. When I called, he responded right away and we set an an appointment for him to come take a look at my job. I liked the fact that when I first met Alex he listened to what we had in mind very closely. Once he had a good understanding of what we wanted, he said he would come up with some ideas and get me an estimate right away. We agreed that he would redo all of our planters, upgrade my sprinkler system with a timer, add all new plants with the right drip system and add some lighting to our yard. He also cemented the side of my house with a brick lining that matched my existing yardwork. His electrician also replaced all the lights on my house and the lamp posts out in the front yard. When he first came back with a quote, it was above what we had budgeted. Alex talked it through with us and made some adjustments. He also said he could start the project fairly quickly and gave me a targeted date for completion. His crew started the day we agreed upon and I found them all to be very courteous and clean. The made it a point to stay committed to the job upon completion. If I wanted minor changes done, they worked with me to make it happen. He made it a point throughout the process to communicate with us. As you can see form the pictures, everything came out very well. We are very pleased with our front yard and backyard landscaping. They completed our project at the agreed upon date which made us very happy. Once the job was completed, Alex called me back just to see if everything still looked okay. I thought that was nice of him. He came back and made a few tweaks for us and all at no additional charge. I got to know Alex better during the project and found him to be a pretty funny and down to earth guy. He has a special liking for plants and landscaping and we loved how he picked the perfect plants and trees for our yard. I would highly recommend Alex for any landscaping projects that you have, no matter what size. Thank you Alex and the entire AV Landscaping crew!!! Great job!
We finally got our backyard renovated in Lake Forest. Alex and his team did an amazing job! It took about 2 months, and we ended up being slightly under budget! They were always communicating the next steps and potential issues. They even kept coming back to water our plants themselves while the electrical issues were being worked on for a few days. They were very flexible with our plant choices, which we purchased most on our own - we have small (already producing) avocado trees now and a succulent garden! As far as what we had done - our backyard was just concrete with dead grass and dirt. They took out all the old grass, dirt, and concrete, and even helped us remove our old hot tub. Now we have nice pavers, plants, and a grass area for the dog. Couldnt be happier, highly recommended. Feel free to comment me if you have any questions!
Alex has been great to work with on our backyard project. He was very responsive when we first contacted him, and always quick to reply with questions during our job. He has great knowledge about the various plants .. and our backyard looks fantastic! We highly recommend AV Landscaping for any of your landscaping needs.
Our yard had been flooding for years and our kids could never really enjoy the yard. Weve finally decided to replace the grass with a hardscape. Weve requested a few quotes but almost all of them werent very super responsive. Alex AV Landscaping and Oscar were always on time and came by a few times to answer my questions. They are very dependable and trustworthy. His team is super professional and easy to work with. The crew was impressive and never once interfered with our daily routine. The front yard and back yard turned out beautifully and I wouldnt hesitate to call them up again. Thank you, AV Landscaping!
Alex was the magic man behind a complete transformation of our fence and back lawn. It was a large project to begin with... 250 linear feet of fence with 3 gates and about 2K SF of back lawn. All of it had to be removed, re design and re done. Alex came out with good ideas and a reasonable quote. We couldnt be more happy with the results. Try his services and you will also be satisfied!
Work was quick. Results are great. Very happy with the how everything turned out.
Alex was awesome. He did a perfect job on time. Our front yard look spectacular.
Alex and his crew did an awesome job in my small backyard. I just bought the house and wanted a low maintenance yard. Asked for a quote. Alex responded right away. The yard turned out exactly the way I wanted. Thanks again, Alex and crew. I would highly recommend AV Landscaping for all your landscaping needs.
An amazing experience from beginning to end! Alex listened to our vision for our backyard redesign and took it to a whole other level. He communicated with us frequently throughout the project and was able to pivot when we had some additional requests. His team was reliable, hardworking, and professional. They showed up on time 6 days a week for 7 weeks, doing magnificent work and leaving the area safe and tidy at the end of each day. The result was outstanding. We have received multiple compliments from our neighbors, and I would recommend AV Landscaping to anyone wanting to upgrade their outdoor area.
Alex & his crew did our hardscaping and we are PUMPED with the results. He came over to my place several times during the bidding phase to make sure that my vision for my space was fully understood. His bid was very detailed and accurate (my price didn t increase at any point throughout the job). He even invited my wife and I out to check out one of the jobs he was wrapping up to see his work 1st hand. Once we got started he gave me a 2 month window for the work to be completed. He walked us through every step of the process, gave us warnings when there d be noise (my wife works from home), and send plenty of video updates throughout the process. He stayed within our budget and didn t cut corners to save a buck. Honestly, he made my wife and I feel like we were his only clients throughout our entire 2 month renovation and we couldn t be happier with the results. Him and his crew are 100% professionals and have a deep passion for what they do. Working with him was easily the best experience I ve had with a contractor since I ve owned my home. Oh and he finished our project 2 weeks early!!! I highly recommend AV Landscaping and will be having him back when we have the budget to finish our landscaping. You can count on Alex to get the job done and do it right!
This is our second time using AV Landscaping. They where not the most expensive and not the cheapest but overall the price was competitive and the quality of work speaks for itself. They also stand behind their work even years down the road.
Alex and his workers did a fantastic job. What initially was intended to be a consultation for a broken sprinkler line, evolved into a much larger project. I expressed to Alex my wish that one contractor would manage stucco repair/painting of the exterior of my home and shared walls, repair broken hardscape and brick pavers, clear out clogged drainage lines, remove overgrown bushes and palms, cement the side of my home, plant drought resistant and low maintenance vegetation, install new sod, repair and install new irrigation, and install premium landscape lighting. Alex, unexpectedly, stated that he could assist with all! Alex is very reasonable with his pricing and will negotiate. He is a young business owner who cares for and communicates well with his workers. While he delegates painting and cement work to his colleagues, he is actively involved in landscape design. The work did take somewhat longer than anticipated; however, no short cuts were taken, and the quality of the work met my expectations. If you have patience, Alex will get the job done!
I am so grateful to have found Alex and his team on Yelp after several bad experiences with other companies, including outrageous quotes. What an amazing find! Alex responded to my inquiry quickly and came out to view the project. He listens and works with you on all details, including an absolutely fair price. The AV Landscaping team is fantastic, on time, hard-working and detail-oriented. Alex takes care of you and is always there to fine tune plans, answer questions and make sure things are moving along on time and meeting expectations. He even agreed to work with me on meeting the requirements of my water district project design. I am absolutely thrilled with the results as seen in the photos (note the before photo), and I highly recommend AV Landscaping. The new courtyard, irrigation and lighting are more than I could have hoped for on my budget. It is truly the best experience I have had on a home improvement project. Thank you, Alex and Claro!
Alex and his team do great work and show up on time, very clean and go above and beyond! Highly recommend!!
I don t even know where to start. Our first contractor started our backyard project and ended up demolishing our front yard and causing extensive damages to our property unintentionally before abandoning the project. At this point I was in my last month of pregnancy and totally heartbroken about the way our home looked and felt weeks away from giving birth. Our toddler had also lost all outdoor space to play in since the front yard was destroyed too which caused even more stress for us. Thankfully we came across Alex and AV Landscaping. Our worries were immediately alleviated because we knew we had found not only a true professional who could give us a beautiful backyard but we found someone who was going to be honest and fair with us. Alex, his foreman Claro, and their entire crew were beyond kind, communicative and respectful. We never had to question what was going on with our project because they kept us in the loop. They found ways for us to save a bit of money and they stuck to the timeline they had given us. Each day we saw our home slowly come together and the space we now have to enjoy as a family is even more beautiful than I originally could have imagined. The expertise they have and the care they showed for each step of the project was so reassuring. I cannot recommend AV Landscaping enough to anyone who is looking!
Very Responsive and made sure we were happy with the results.
The team did a really great job. Fast ! Professional and without any hassle. Definitely recommended.
Our backyard was initially turf with a side yard of a very ugly stained pavement of stones with a lot of ugly plants on the side. And this is the final product! Alex and his crew did such an amazing job and we couldn t be any happier. Alex understood our vision and was able to turn that into reality. His crew always came early and worked very hard - Alex was willing to work with our budget and we truly love the end result. The foliage looks even better now that it s summer and things are growing. It was a big project for us and we ve already come back for our second project that he was able to finish in less than 2 days with amazingly clean and beautiful results. Hoping to bring him back for a few more future plans :)
We contacted AV Landscaping about redoing our front, back, and side yards with new pavers. We previously had a red brick walkway out front, some cracked stamped concrete in the side and back yard, and a large dirt patio out back. We were looking to change to something more cohesive throughout with new paver stones. After we contacted, Alex came out to see what we were starting with and discuss what we were looking for, and he gave us some resources to look at pavers to decide the look we wanted. He was quick to send us an estimate, broken down by task. Before we could start we had to go through HOA approval, and he provided plans and images to include for the approval. Once it was all approved, he was able to have his team come out and start within days. I expected we d have to wait a while, so I was pleasantly surprised to be able to start right away! Throughout the whole process Alex was in communication with us and answered any questions or concerns we had. His team was also very professional and efficient. It took about a month to finish the front, back, and side yards. We were out of town when they finished, and he sent someone out to make sure the grass was watered until we could get home. After the project was complete, he was still helpful / responsive and sent people out several times to help us with various issues (modifying sprinkler setup, replacing lights, etc). We were happy that we went with AV Landscaping for our project. The whole process was painless and simple, and Alex and his team take pride in their work and bent over backwards to make sure we were happy with the end result! I would 100% recommend to anyone in OC
Got finished with a complete front yard landscaping project 1 week ago, what a great experience overall with Alex from AV Landscaping. The entire process from walking the property, getting a quote and having the project done was terrific. Alex was a great communicator throughout the entire process. We had narrowed down our bids to between two final contractors and we ended up going with Alex because you could see that he shared our vision in what we were looking to achieve. There are some people that bid on the project that was willing to do whatever we threw at them as far as ideas. Alex actually took the time to ask, whats the end goal, what style or look are we trying to achieve when its all done? There were some things we had originally thought that we might want, but since he does this for a living, he actually told us that if we did what we wanted, that the look might not be cohesive. So we really liked the fact that he used his experience and knowledge to help us get to the look that we wanted. He was on schedule, on budget and always available. If not on the property while his crew was working, just a phone call away. He always got back to us quickly with any concerns that we had. There were two minor problems that came up while the project was under way and as soon as he was made aware of it, he jumped right on it and made sure that we were back on track. I would have no hesitation to hire and work with Alex and his crew again. We are actually in the process of getting quotes from him for our next house projects. You all know how it goes, get the front yard done and then you realize how bad the back looks. Alex and AV Landscaping has fair pricing for a really good job. We couldnt be happier with the way it turned out.
Our Real Estate Team has used Alex both personally and for landscaping facelifts for homes we sell, for many years. He recently stepped in and completed a big job for us- one that was about to be done by a much less experienced landscaper. When it became clear he was in over his head, we called Alex. Alex jumped in and delivered in a matter of days and wowed our client! The value provided was priceless. Alex knows his stuff. He is professional, gets the job done in a timely manner and makes sure his client is 100% satisfied. We highly recommend Alex for all landscaping needs
We are repeat customers of Alex and AV Landscaping - he did a great job on our back yard a couple years ago and just had him back to transform our front yard. He has a great sense of humor and is wonderful to work with - great design ideas and he knows his stuff. His team can do anything... they repaired/replaced our light posts and also replaced and repaired our irrigation system. Alex is in high demand, but once he starts on your project his team is super efficient and very neat and professional. They go the extra mile. We highly recommend Alex and his team!
I hired AV Landscaping to turn my water hungry lawn into a drought tolerant desert. With beautiful boulders and succulents he created an amazing landscape. His team was professional and experienced. They complete our project in 1 week as promised and I am overwhelmed with the outcome. I highly recommend this wonder company for any of you landscaping needs. Thank you Alex and your team Before and after pictures
We had to finally take care of our backyard hardscaping/landscaping after a big remodel plus addition that we finished in 2016. We already knew projects take longer than one imagines them to be, and waited until we were able to take care of backyard, hoping to find a right guy for the job. Were happy we found Alex and his team. I read many, many profiles and reviews, before contacting Alex. Hes indeed everybody was saying hed be-nice and easy to work with, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, reliable , taking pride in what he does, a man with integrity. He carefully listens to concerns , he makes good suggestions, he makes sure youre happy with the results, he sees things through, he stays within your budget. Hes very diligent about things done right, and his crew really tries to make it happen, and does whatever it takes. The team was very nice to work with, arrived on time, left on time, great attitude. Our project was a mid-range one. relatively modest, but in fact, a lot to take care of. We had to work on a lot-changing out old irrigation(Alexs suggestions were very good), putting new retaining wall (thank you, Alex, for talking me into it), pouring concrete base for the new tile to go in, taking care of the sloping and drainage before that, tiling itself (which required skill and patience given its a custom tile with lots of variation in it), finally, adding grass and plants-Alex went with us to a nursery where we picked stuff together based on his suggestions and our preferences Alexs team also completely redid side walks along the house that were just dirt before, worked on the front walkway and entrance a bit as well, to put new bricks in.instead of the ones that were all wobbly. .so in the end wasnt just our backyard. Since we moved into the house, its for the first time I actually love opening drapes in the master and looking outside. We wont hesitate to use Alexs company in the future, and recommend him and his team wholeheartedly. Thank you, Alex, thank you, guys! With warm gratitude, Jenny and Vlad
We recently had our front yard landscaped by AV Landcaping. We had a great experience, they were professional and Alex helped us design the perfect front yard for our home. Our goal was to have a low maintenance front yard with curb appeal, we decided on artificial grass and some drought tolerant plants. He was flexible with our minor changes throughout the project and followed up with our requests. He was very easy to get ahold of throughout our project and had a detailed plan for his crew each day. His crew worked clean and completed our project within the timeframe that was initially estimated. We have received several compliments from our neighbors and we would highly recommend them for your next landscape project.
Alex and his crew did great work on our front yard. We had concrete work and artificial turf placed. We had to postpone work due to HOA hassles and Alex was flexible and responsive to these issues. Would happily use him and his crew for any future yard related work.
AV landscaping did an outdoor project for us that lasted about 4 months. They did both soft-scaping and hard-scaping. The quality of the work is amazing. They had multiple crews each with specialty in different area (pavers, underground drainage, softscape, tree cutting, etc). We had to make a few changes to our design along the way. I was surprised by the fact that they did not charge for the changes (this is very unusual). Their communication skill is superb: I received text updates and completion estimates from them a few times a week. This helped ease off my mind. I was also very impressed that they did not miss even ONE day of work. They came every day (except when it rained) and they were on time. When the job was completed about a month ago they texted me a few times to make sure everything is OK. Once I asked them to double check a couple of the sprinklers: they took care of it immediately free of charge! I would recommend AV in the highest possible terms.
Alex and his team rock - they exceeded every expectation I had. I needed trees removed around my house, drainage installed, repairs to the patio & new cement, repair to a brick fence the trees were damaging, and general landscaping, and Alex & his team crushed it. They are friendly, incredibly hard-working, and total pros. My yard looks better than it ever has, and he was able to work within my budget and help me find ways to fix little things that had always bugged me while doing the big stuff. My neighbor even asked Alex to do similar work on his yard at the same time because he was impressed! I love going outside and just enjoying the work these guys did, 100% satisfied. Im pretty sure this is my only Google review but he earned it.
I did a lot of research before choosing my landscaper, and was incredibly happy with my decision to go with Alex. Alex put in pavers, sitting wall, fireplace, turf and landscaping for us. He was very reasonably priced and went above and beyond what he had agreed to do. I m the kind of person who had to know all of the details and I ask a lot of questions. Alex was extremely responsive to all of my text messages and calls and was happy to answer all of my questions. Even after he finished the project, he would follow up with me to make sure that I was satisfied with the work and even after I had made my last payment, he came by a couple more times to make sure that everything was working properly. I am posting some before and after photos. The first two photos reflect what my yard looked like before Alex started any work. The rest of the photos show the completed project. I think the photos speak for themselves. Also, functionally, prior to Alex s involvement, I had grading problems where water was collecting near the house. Now, after having gone through a few rain storms, I can safely say that no water is collecting near my house and the drains are working great.
I have never written an online review for anything EVER. Not once in my life. This is the first time. That being said, Alex and his team did such a good job that I felt I had to say something. Our landscape was a disaster beforehand and we were under a tight time frame to get the property ready to list for sale. Alex was super-responsive and delivered an excellent job including new grass, shrubbery, sprinkler system. It was basically a brand new yard when they were finished. He went above and beyond and his prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend!!!
Alex turned our dirt hole into a clean contemporary outdoor space. Take a look at the before and after!! He is a professional, prompt and trustworthy dude. Fair priced. Will do business with him again. Highest Recommendation. Jordan Positive
Alex and his crew did a great job. He gave us a really reasonable quote and timeline and followed through wonderfully. I was trying to get our backyard under control myself and as you can see in the photos, I needed a lot of help. He put pavers in and river rock for our dog to use to pee/poop and planters. His crew also put in irrigation and electric. He was easy to get a hold of throughout the project and even came back to raise the irrigation lines a bit higher for us. I would recommend Alex and his crew!
My wife Laina and I have lived in the same condo unit for 21 years and the patio area has been an issue since we purchased the unit. As the years have passed, the cracks in the concrete, the weeds growing through the cracks and the wifes complaining have grown progressively worse. With both of us working from home because of COVID-19, it finally provided us with an opportunity to renovate the patio area. Laina called several landscaping companies for quotes (at least one company wont even consider the job unless we were willing to spend $75,000.00) before settling on AV Landscaping because the concept provided by Alex was exactly what we were looking for and he was willing to provide a substantial discount for cash up front. Alex made some good suggestions about the type of paver and pet turf we should use and picked up the materials once we had made our selections. The project was broken up into two parts which started with the demolition and haul away of the cracked concrete. After the concrete was removed, the next couple of days consisted of laying a double mesh to prevent vegetation from growing back and several types of soil being used to level the patio. The different soil types were layered and were spread out across the patio. The second phase involved compacting the soils and laying the pavers and pet turf. The workers used a bubble level to make sure all the pavers were level as the were being laid onto the patio. Once all the pavers were in place, the crew lifted the pavers around the edges, dug a trench and filled the trench with a quick dry cement. They replaced the pavers they removed and waited for the cement to set. Once the cement was set, they filled in the cracks between the pavers with a special sand. The next part was measuring, laying in and nailing down the pet turf. Once the pet turf was in place, the crew planted the solar lights we had purchased into the pet turf at a reasonable distance from each other. The final part of the project was sealing the special sand into the cracks which prevents the sand from coming out of the cracks if we hose off or sweep the pavers. If too much of the sand is removed from the cracks, the pavers will come lose since only outside pavers are cemented in placed. Alex showed up several times during the course of the project to make sure things were being done to our satisfaction and was available on his cell if we had any questions regarding the project. The project was complete in the specified time frame and we couldnt be happier with the end result. I would highly recommend AV Landscaping if you are thinking about hiring someone for a landscaping project!
I had the opportunity to meet Alex and after discussing the landscaping services I needed, Alex gave us a great quote. This led to some additional services and am happy to to say how much we are enjoying our newly installed gate and a drainage system in the backyard. Alex and his crew were excellent and worked diligently. We will certainly be using Alex for future landscaping projects.
Alex was amazing. Not only did he give us an insane deal on our front and back yard we love the final product! Alex was very flexible with us as we changed our minds throughout the process. He paver guy is very talented too!
Magic! Alex came over to give a quote and came up with an even better idea than ours for our project. His crew was very professional, kept the job clean and were very courteous. Our project was small, but Alex treated it with importance and priority. We are so very pleased with the result. I would absolutely recommend him. Beautiful! Well done, Alex!!
Alex and his team did a great job with our front yard renovation. Everything from consultation and planning, demo to planting and irrigation system updates went smoothly and was done professionally. Alex has been (and still is) great in following up with any questions or requests we may have. Highly recommend Alex and his team!
Alex and crew did a fantastic job covering a bland property line wall with beautiful Cameron stone veneer. Just look at the before and after photos and it tells it all. Alex is great to work with - he communicates well by voice, text or email and makes sure that his client is happy. If something doesnt look as you expected it would, Alex will work with you to find a smart solution. The value you get for the cost is better than any landscape service weve ever used.
I would highly recommend Alex and his team! After a lot of searching and meeting with different landscapers, we ultimately chose Alex due to his fair estimate, professionalism and positive reviews we had seen online. Alex was very friendly and helpful and was able to execute the job on time and within our budget. I also appreciated how prompt he was at responding to my texts and emails. Additonally, Alex had great cost saving ideas and recommendations and we are so happy with the end result. We appreciate all of Alex and his teams help and hard work to make our backyard dreams come true! Thank you Alex!
Fantastic experience! Really glad I chose Alex to do my garden!!!
AV Landscaping did an amazing job at my home! They were on time, fairly priced, and flexible with doing other tasks I requested. My yards are looking beautiful and I am very pleased with the results. - (Fahimi)
We had a lot of drainage problems and backyard work needed. Alex and his team did a really good job at a fair price. Hes was very responsive during the project and immediately took care of any questions or concerns we had. He also stuck to his estimate.
Pleased with Alex and his teams work - detailed and responsive to the end!
Alex has just finished our major project and we couldnt be happier. From day one Alexs communication was excellent, whether I called or texted he responded immediately and was happy to answer my questions. Unlike other contractors who came to provide quotes Alex listened to what we wanted for our space and worked with us and our budget to give us exactly what we wanted. Alex was genuinely interested in making sure we were happy throughout the whole process, he checked in regularly to make sure everything was going how we wanted and he was always popping up on site to check the quality of work. Our project included a large retaining wall, new fencing, new drainage, coping and pavers around our pool area and a large synthetic turf install. Just the demo was a massive undertaking but Alexs team made it look effortless. During the course of the project we made some changes and Alex was very accommodating. Would not hesitate to recommend Alex for all your landscape needs, top notch job from a top notch company.
Our new homes rear yard had suffered from lack of water during the drought. Although we had some vague ideas, we hoped someone could help us make the decisions needed. We found Alex on Yelp, were impressed by his customers comments, and toured several yards he had done. During the process, we were so happy with the rear yards progress that we decided to re-landscape our front yard as well. Alex re-did our drainage (completely clogged with roots), and built a concrete pad and retaining wall where our trash cans can park. Another small curved retaining wall was built to frame our water fountain. We have new drip irrigation, LED lighting, nicely-sized plants, artificial turf, and decorative rock locations--all installed per our wishes. When complete, they pressure-washed all our existing concrete flatwork and seat wall to make it all look new again. When an old pipe failed, they took the extra step to repair it as a courtesy to us. Their work was completed in a professional manner, on schedule, and was competitively priced. Our sincere appreciation to Alex and his team for their great work to make our yard beautiful!
We would highly recommend AV Landscaping! We did a complete tear out and replacement of our front and back yards after moving into a new house. Alex the owner is overall just a great guy, was helpful with ideas, was always available almost instantly via text message, and was with us every step of the way. He was always willing to stop by if we need to talk through something with him. As work progressed, if there was anything we were concerned about he usually caught it before we could even let him know about it and made sure that it was done for the best end result. When there were changes we thought needed to be made, he happily made them. All he wanted was for us to get exactly what we envisioned. He has a great, hardworking crew who knew exactly what they were doing. He was willing to work with us if there were any changes we wanted to make and even suggested a few things that would give us a better looking yard when we were done. He was also reasonable with the amount he charged when we added things here and there as we went along. In the end, he took our landscape plan and made it a beautiful reality and we couldnt be any happier with the end result We now have the yard that weve always wanted and love spending time outside.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alex and his team. I interviewed several companies for our job and Alex was the clear winner by far! The others did not even compare. He transformed our front and backyard into a beautiful paradise. Our existing landscape was old and tired and Alex and his attention to detail helped us create a fresh new yard that is beautiful. He knows what looks good and helped guide us through the whole process. He has a vast knowledge of plants which was very helpful in our decision making process of what type of plants to use and where to plant them. He revamped our entire sprinkler system and added a very user friendly app so we can adjust our sprinklers remotely (love this)! We are also very satisfied with the new lighting he installed in our front and back yards. He doesnt cut corners and is all about doing the job right. He even planted some black mondo grass around the perimeter of our yard that I had specifically asked him to plant, but I ended up not liking it and he very graciously removed it and found something else for me without hesitation. 100% Customer satisfaction is always his goal. He added several items after we had decided on the price to make everything look right and did not charge more. He completed our project several weeks ago and is still occasionally checks in with me to make sure I am still satisfied.Go with Alex - you will not be disappointed!
I am very satisfied with Alex and his teams work on my backyard. his team did excellent job on my backyard pavers and lawn installation. my backyard was in very bad shape for a while. Alex was straightforward, not trying to upsell anything, gave me good suggestions based on his experience. his quote was very reasonable and didnt try to add anything more than what we agreed during the process. i could reach him anytime including weekend via text and he always responded. I am fairly high attention to detail in terms of workmanship and he followed up with my requests willingly and pleasantly.
Alex is a life saver. I had a leak and he arrived same day, after hours, with little to no notice. He responded via phone call and text very quickly. He provided a quote with fair pricing and was very easy to work with and kind. We will definitely be calling him again with any other landscaping needs or water leaks. Thank you Alex!
Alex and his team did great job with my backyard. Everything was nice and clean, and the project was finished much faster than I expected.
I hired Alexander Woodard, who came recommended by Resource Building Materials in Lake Forest, after my original contractor walked out on me leaving my front yard project a messy construction zone. Alex and his crew stepped in and brought my design to life. He and his guys went far beyond my expectations. Their work ethic was exceptional. I was on a deadline for the Turf Removal program and he and his team got the job done in time without delays. He also recommended and installed a smart, highly efficient, watering system that I had not thought about. I have already seen my water consumption drop dramatically. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of my front yard project and all I can say is that I will certainly hire Alexanders Vision Landscaping for my next project. I highly recommend them.
Alex and his crew are fantastic. They just completed installing a new sod lawn in my back yard as well as changing our landscape lighting to LED. His crew were very hard working and friendly and arrived every morning on time until the job was done. Alex was also very can do about accommodating some additional requests that we hadnt discussed in advance.
Excellent service! Alex worked with us to design something that was amazing and within our budget. He went above and beyond our expectations and personally wanted to make sure we were happy with everything. We were so impressed with the work Alex and his team did that we had them do some additional work in our backyard. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex and his crew and will be using them exclusively for our landscaping needs in the future.
The team that Alex has put together is absolutely amazing. Their ideas, attention to detail, frequent communication, and geniune care in their work has made the entire landscaping experience far better than expected. Over the years we have contracted a lot of vendors and by far AV Landscaping was the best. For our next project I would only consider AV Landscaping
Alex and his team are the best in Orange County. We moved into a new home and needed help completing our back and side yards within a budget. Not only did Alex exceed our expectations, he was flexible and worked with us throughout the process to achieve our desired result. Additionally, these guys are thorough and work FAST! From consultation to completion was 2 weeks. We truly cannot say enough great things about Alex. You will be happy with the results!
We love working with Alex, Elmer and the entire team! We recently moved to Irvine to a house where the landscaping had been neglected - we needed to redo the irrigation, put in sod and plantings, add lighting, and importantly, put in new hardscape in the front yard. Alex was great about phasing our project, as our ideas were developing as we were going along. His team is the best - always courteous, professional, and would always show up as expected and work so very hard the entire day!! (Our neighbors, also having work done by someone else, commented on how we had the hardest working crews theyve seen!!) We feel that their pricing has been very fair, and they continue to impress us with the quality of their work! We are so pleased with the result!! We love the front walkway tile work, pilasters and lighting!! We will continue to sing their praises!! Thank you for a great job Alex and team!!!
Alex was wonderful to work with and very fair in his prices. Guys showed up on time every day and finished sooner than I expected. I was so impressed were having him do additional work. So yes, Id hire him again. Best reference there is.
Alex saved my parents front yard! The HOA had been giving them warnings about updating their lawn (it was looking v dumpy), and in trying to find a landscaping company, they experienced a lot of let-downs. With an HOA deadline fast-approaching, they asked me for help, and Alexs company came up as one of the best-reviewed companies on Yelp. We called him, and he was able to schedule a consultation with us almost immediately, as well as create plans. He gave my parents a fair price, and a sketch and estimate to provide the HOA with. He had their front yard transformed within a week, and his employees were so kind. My parents new dryscape looks so good and only requires being watered once per week, and virtually no upkeep! Im now ok with the grass staying greener on the other side. We cant recommend his services enough and are already looking to hire him for more work around their house. Thanks again, Alex & Co.!
Alex and his crew completely transformed our back and front yards within a reasonable budget and timeline. He was super easy to work with and accommodated our changing needs with no hesitation. We had a built in BBQ, fire pit with bench, cafe string lights, artificial turf, spot lights and trees planted. The fact that there was no nickel and diming was a refreshing change. He had great ideas with respect to hardscaping and landscaping, and wouldnt rest until he was happy with the end result even if we were. We would hire him again in a heartbeat for any future needs.
Alex and team did a great job removing large Palm tree and lots of old, large shrubs. They left my artificial turf in perfect condition and cleaned up the entire yard.
I interviewed several landscapers for my large backyard project, and I am SO glad I chose Alex. The first thing is, he s a great listener and he really understood the final vision that I desired for my backyard. Not only did his team of guys accomplish every aspect of my vision (and quickly!), they made it beautiful too. The second thing is, Alex SERIOUSLY worked with our budget. His flexibilty is unlike ANY other landscaper. No other landscaper was willing to come close (in estimates) to doing as much work as Alex and his guys did for the amount of money I could afford. Unlike others, Alex s estimate/invoice was thorough listing EVERYTHING he would do. I also liked that Alex was available anytime I needed to talk about the project and he always got right on it when I had questions or comments. He is a very mellow, attentive, and professional guy, with a great established business, and many polite, hard-working men for his team. Our backyard was a mess before we found Alex, now it s gorgeous and perfect for us. We needed the removal of all the large pine trees, all the old brush covering our large hillside slope, and demo of the old outdated retaining wall ...and much more. Then we needed all new groundcover planted for the entire slope, a new beautiful retaining wall to separate the slope from the flat ground, and all new grass with installation of area drains. Alex s guys cleanly removed and hauled away a huge amount of concrete. They generously left us with small cuts of firewood from the trees cut down at our request. And every day before leaving, the men would sweep up the back patio and clean up after their work. It doesn t get any better than this. Alex is a gem!
Alex and his team are superb! After 5 months of looking for a landscaper for a complete redo of our soft scape, we had the good fortune of finding Alex. His sense of design and use of space is top notch. He is easy to work with and super responsive. Most importantly, he sticks by his word and provides amazing service. His team was always prompt and never left a mess. Alex sent me video updates along the way - a great touch. Overall, I highly suggest you have Alex look at your project and have him bid it. You can judge the before and after pictures on this review for yourself - you will not be disappointed!
