After nearly a decade without updating our front and back yards, we reached out to Melo Gardens for a complete landscape refresh. Their team exceeded our expectations in every way, delivering a professional, efficient, and high-quality service that transformed our outdoor space. Melo Gardens responded promptly to our initial inquiry and started the project quickly, demonstrating their commitment to customer satisfaction. Our project manager, Solomon, was exceptional. His professionalism and extensive knowledge of plants were evident from the start. He provided thoughtful suggestions on plant selections and their optimal placement, tailoring the design to enhance both aesthetics and functionality. We entrusted him to create a new look for our yard, and the results were stunning. In addition to the landscaping, Solomon oversaw a complete update of our sprinkler system, ensuring it was modernized and efficient. One standout aspect was their transparent pricing—Solomon provided a flat-rate quote for the entire job, and there were no unexpected change orders, even for minor adjustments during the project. This level of integrity is rare and greatly appreciated. The execution was flawless from start to finish. Solomon efficiently managed his team, ensuring the project was completed in less than a week without sacrificing quality. The crew was courteous, organized, and diligent, leaving our property clean and tidy after the work was done. Having worked with several landscaping companies over the years, we can confidently say that Melo Gardens is the best we’ve encountered. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to delivering outstanding results make them a standout choice. We highly recommend Melo Gardens to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space with confidence and ease.

Melo Gardens was the best landscaping company I have ever encountered. So professional, so knowledgeable so thorough. They were prompt and efficient in putting in an eye-catching landscape for my side yard on a corner lot. The lead guy Solomon is a true expert in his field. He kept me involved every step of the way. He made recommendations for some corrective work on my sprinklers that saved water and his expertise with plants and knowledge of sprinkler systems was amazing. He completed the job sooner than I expected and the price was appropriate for the work they performed. It was money well spent. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Here are before and after pictures.

Great guys, I was away and they sent pics through the whole process. Tore out the lawn, laid new irrigation, weed blocking fabric and kurapia. They came back to replace a few that died and adjust the sprinklers… wonderful experience all around. Trustworthy and easy to work with and communicate with! Thanks again!

We had the best experience working with Melo Gardens, by far the smoothest, most thoughtful contractor experience we've ever had (and we've worked with a lot over the years). From the very first interaction, Solomon and Alex were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. They really took the time to understand what we wanted, and the plant presentation they put together before starting was beautiful. It showed exactly what we were getting and reflected our style perfectly. You could tell they actually listened, which is rare. Once we signed off, their team moved fast. They knocked out a full planting job in both our front and backyard in just two days. Everything was clean, professional, and totally in sync with what we’d envisioned. What really stood out was how available and attentive they were throughout the process. We never felt left hanging, and any questions we had were answered right away. It honestly felt like working with friends who just happen to be amazing at what they do. We’ve never had a contractor be this communicative and dialed-in. Highly recommend Melo Gardens if you want a team that genuinely cares about getting it right.

Soloman was easy to talk with and knew his field well... we how ever had a very slim budget and had to pass.. but I would call him out in the future on larger projects with more funds in the pipeline.
