EVERGREEN LANDSCAPE & CONCRETE

They came and did an amazing job. The crew was extremely professional. I will be using them when I get my pool done soon. I’m all about details and they understood along with the communication. I got the idea for my porch from their brochure. I just can’t thank them enough and I highly recommend them. I’ll post pictures.

Finding a contractor can be a daunting task. I am happy to say that from start to finish I was very comfortable with Ray, Mike, Art, and the rest of the team. They were professional and very pleasant and easy to work with. Ray was there throughout the process to see that everything went according to plan and that I was happy with the results. We made some minor changes to the original plan because Ray made a point to ask questions to ensure I was getting what I really wanted. I would definitely recommend Evergreen Landscape & Concrete. Their rates are reasonable and you can expect a response when you call unlike a number of other contractors.

Ray and his team did a fantastic job building our new backyard patio and arbor. They are very professional and also easy and pleasant to work with.
When we bought our house, the backyard was hideous, with some old concrete and a small rotten wood deck. We drew up some plans on what to build and called Evergreen to get a bid. They had been highly recommended by neighbors. Mike came out, carefully listened to our ideas and asked some questions. Then he showed us some options on what they could build and also came up with the perfect solution to provide the shade we wanted to have. He pointed out a project they had just completed in our neighborhood. We walked by there in the evening and frankly were blown away. I remarked to my wife, well they are probably very expensive. So we awaited the bid which came the next day already, and it was very competitive. In fact it was lower than another firm that we has contacted. So it was an easy call to hire Evergreen.
A couple weeks later the owner Ray and his team came out to start the job. It was amazing to watch them: Every detail was professionally and meticulously attended to, you could see top notch quality work everywhere you looked. In all that they were also very efficient: It took them just 3 and a half days for the entire project to transform our backyard. And I could not be more happy with the outcome. At the end we had a request to change something to extend the shaded area. Before I even finished my sentence, Ray said: «I will do it», and they came out and completed it the same week. Where can you find contractors like these?
I can highly recommend this firm for any landscaping work. In fact, I’m planning to call on them again once we get to our front yard project.

GREAT JOB So HAPPY!
These guys did a great job at a competitive price. From very beginning this was a great experience; initially Mike came out and surveyed the project for an estimate (concrete patio/​walkway, synthetic turf lawn, remove all growth in parkway strip and replace with decorative rock and tree in yard). Quickly received estimate, timely answers to questions, list of local referrals to SEE their work. After getting all bids decided on Evergreen based on competitive price and the responsiveness to questions (emails and phone calls quickly returned, unlike some/​many others). Mike came out a 2^nd time to go over project again prior to contract and went over step by step what to expect.
Ray (owner) and his team were outstanding, showed up on time everyday and got right to work. Day one had owner Ray and Mike with a crew of 7 arrive on time; Mike, Ray and myself reviewed all the planned work so there would be no confusion and then these guys went to work… and I mean work! I also liked the fact that the owner Ray was on site everyday (in addition to his lead Art) to make sure all went as expected. Job was completed one day early with exceptional results, not one issue, my last minute changes we «no problem» and taken care of. Our yard was left in better shape than when they started, every night the yard was left orderly with their tools and equipment neatly out of the way. At the end we have a beautiful yard and we are very happy. I highly recommend Evergreen Landscape.

I called Evergreen because I had a contractor that was not finishing a job and we were in the process of terminating him, so we needed some estimates. They agreed to come out to my residence to take a look at 4 pm. Well I waited around for them to show and they didn’t, they didn’t even call to reschedule or cancel, very unprofessional.

We are very happy with «A Job Well Done» by Evergreen Landscape & Concrete! Our Front Yard looks Beautiful. I posted pictures on Facebook and several FB friends are commenting things like:

I want to say something about Mike who came out to my home several times and on Saturday’s! I am not available during the weekdays. Mike is the BEST and so nice & patient. I showed him what I wanted from my horrible drawings and he gave me a few suggestions which I decided to use. A couple of other Landscapers who came out didn’t seem to care what I wanted. They wanted to change almost everything! Mike first came out on 3÷22÷14. I received my Bid via E-​mail 3÷25÷14. I changed my mind on some items. I asked if he could come over again because it was too difficult to explain over the phone or E-​mail. Mike agreed to come on a Saturday again. I received the new Bid within 3 days. Due to some other issues, our project was delayed. During the delay time, Mike & I kept in contact via E-​mail and I made more changes. This was my 3^rd time to make changes. I thought that Mike would not want to work with someone who keeps changing their mind. I Emailed Mike once again informing him that I had made some changes from his last Bid. I told him that I understood if he was NOT interested in working on my project because of me changing my mind, but I’d like to meet with him once again & that I was now ready to begin our Front Yard Project. He was so nice and said sure I can come over and see what you want. Again, it was a Saturday. He said that they would be able to start on the following Wednesday & it would take 3 to 4 days excluding the weekend. He sent the new Bid and Contract which I accepted. One more thing I asked Mike if he could have our current River Rocks re-​arrange. He said sure and at no extra charge.
If I could give 100 Stars + for a 100% + Satisfied Customer I would!
Thank you, Rosemary S
I was not at home during while the work was being performed, but my husband said the following:
What a great company… We love our front yard and you took our Idea of how we wanted it and worked with us to make it better looking.
We have had so many, neighbors, and people just slowing down in their cars to take a look at our front yard. Just want to Thank Evergreen Valley Landscape for everything… from Mike and Ray to the hardworking crew you have Thank You… our next project the Back Yard and I know who’s going to do that. Thank You… Eric

In the organization I currently work, every 6 months, we are given a review and a grade. 1 is «not cut into it» and 5 is «by far the most outstanding». For what Evergreen Landscape & Concrete and their crews have just completed in my back yard, I would simply rate them a «5» without too much thinking.
Our back yard project is basically to substitute the out-​dated concrete with paving stones, reshape the planting area, build a porch for easy entry of dog, re-​pipe, and to add path lights. We have been dreaming to have a new look of our messy back yard for years, and finally we decided to do it.
Before we contacted Evergreen Landscape & Concrete (abbre as ELAC), we have contacted and got quote from at least 3 contractors. We picked ELAC as our final choices for the following reasons:
1. Evidence: We have nearly zero knowledge on the landscaping thing, therefore we really need to see things in front of our eyes. A picture tells everything. Other contractors either fail to show any evidence that they can do the job, or some ill-​taken photo which made us feel like a scene under investigation. Only ELAC showed sufficient photo, and more in their iPad. The quantity and quality and their website have convinced us that they can do the job.
2. Knowledge and Ideas: There’s only ELAC and one other contractor have tried to provide us ideas. Others failed to do so. Since we only have a very rough picture and our thought might be impractical, we really need valuable input instead of «yes yes that’s a good idea and I can surely do that, and your quote is…». ELAC crew provided us 3 options to start from and they are not pushing us to take any option (usually the most expensive). With 3 feasible solutions in front of us, we were able to make up our minds easily. The other contractor tried to push us hard for his own idea but didn’t mention why this idea is better than the others, which turned us off a bit.
3. Attitude: We respect people who are professional and we expect people with true professionalism should respect their customers too. ELAC staffs always show up on time, and the communication with them is always pleasant, even during some negotiation. Some contractors didn’t even show up and they just messaged me after an hour without a phone call which made me feel like dealing with a child. Some contractors treated us as we will never know while neglecting the fact that people will GOOGLE using their cell phone and they will know in front of you. ELAC has been very honest to us, before and after.
4. Time of business: That is why we didn’t even consider those gave us very bargained quote, because they could take the money and run away since they don’t give it a damn about their reputations. ELAC seems to have built up their fame.
We choose ELAC for the above reasoning. Their quote is probably the highest, but they gave us a feeling that this project will be a worry-​free and it will worth every penny we pay — therefore we have selected them.
The outcome:
We love it, period. To be honest, the quality of work was way beyond my expectation. Simply look at the paving stones, you know they are really detailed, and they really want to impress their customers. The porch has successfully amazed us and we didn’t expect they cut paving stones in that way to build that for us. After path light installation, our yard is glowing day and night now, we love our home better than ever now and we start to regret why didn’t we ask ELAC to continue on our phase II project.
It will worth every penny you spend.

Mike, Ray and their crew are true professionals from start to finish. They worked with us to define a plan for our job and made sure that they communicated clearly what we should expect for each step of the process. After the project was finished, Ray gave us clear instructions on how to take care of our new lawn and how to program the sprinklers. Even weeks aftter the project was finished, Ray called to find out how the lawn was doing and if I had any questions. I didn’t, but I feel secure knowing that they would be there to help if anything went wrong. It was a real pleasure working with Evergreen Landscape and Design.

We wish we would of had such positive reviews as others did. When I look at our concrete patio that was poured nine months ago, all I want to do is cry! To spend $ 18,000 for a nothing special added concrete patio that looks terrible every morning is frustrating.

From start to finish, working with Evergreen Landscape & Design has been a pleasure. They are true professionals; we did have 5 different contractors give bids on our yard.
I first met with Mike, the EL&D salesman, and he took the time to understand the full scope of our hardscaping project (full backyard redo – with the complication of a drainage gully, which I now know is called a swale, running thru the yard.) Other contractors seemed to anxious to get me a quote; yeah, yeah they would do this and that – one guy didn’t even measure. I wanted detail on the estimate; plus I wanted to make sure whomever I hired had the skill and experience to do the yard. EL&D did not disappoint, in fact they exceeded my expectations. Their bid was on par with 2 others – but everything was spelled out on EL&D bid.
During the project, the team was prompt and worked neatly. EL&D was a crew of experts in masonry, concrete, capentry, and installing lighting.
Ray, the project manager and owner, monitored the project daily. Ray pays attention to the detail – he had his team redo some of the stone work because he didn’t like the layout. I thought it looked fine; but he was right, it did look better redone.
Some details of EL&D work in our yard:
– columns and walls with stone caps are beautiful – the stone pieces were laid artistically; they were fanatics with the level; all stucco work was consistent in color and texture
–composite benches were solidly constructed and finely crafted like furniture – I am so glad they recommended the composite – looks like wood with low maintenance
– full masonry bar w/​grill with poured concrete top is precision — the top is smooth like granite, with a more sophisticated look, and again they were fanatics with the level; the fridge and stainless doors fit like gloves
–poured concrete patio with salt finish has a consitent texture and drains perfectly away from our pool and walls
–LED lights were added throughout the yard-​it looks like a resort a night
–update of our trellis: making posts wider and adding lighting took the yard to a new level
Our yard was completely transformed. The team was so conscientious, polite and easy to work with that I think I missed them when they were gone — but now we have an amazing backyard!
I will post pics when I get my planting done, as a DIYer I have to do something myself – when it came to our need for hardscaping we knew we needed experts. It is probably called «hard“scaping for many reasons.
Evergreen Landscape & Design are pros in all aspects of business from customer service to skill in hardscaping. We would highly recommend!
