Not sure this box is big enough to list all the positive comments I have for Creative Landscapes and how pleased we are with the work that was done. Martin was a real pleasure to work with and I enjoyed his sense of humor. Needless to say I would highly recommend this company for any landscape work and if I could give more stars I certainly would. When I initially reached out for a quote, Martin contacted me right away and came by within a day to discuss the scope of the project in more detail and to see the actual area to ensure the quote he provided was as accurate as possible. The specs were for a front sitting area that was initially to be 8' x 10' (ended up being 10' x 17') as well as a tree and flowers/shrubs to be planted. He provided me with a few quotes based on the different types of material to be used because we hadn't made a final decision on what to use for either the base or wall. I'd obtained a few other quotes as well, but found the ones from Creative Landscapes were either lower or still very competitive. Ultimately I feel we We discussed the pros and cons of using pavers versus flagstone as well as whether a block wall or a wall with stucco would look best for the overall look. I was impressed that he noted the color (beige) of our existing stone wall along the driveway should have really been a grey stone since our house is a gray. It's this type of attention to detail that I felt was a real asset for someone managing my project to have. While he would make recommendations/suggestions, the final decision(s) were always up to us to make. While the majority of work was done by Martin himself, he did bring in help as needed. For example, he brought in a person who's expertise is to install block walls to do that work. Even though I'd been provided a quote, I'd also told Martin I had a budget that I wanted to stay within. So he especially went out of his way to look for ways to keep the costs at a minimum. Yet was still able to find a quality flagstone as well as the perfect color wall caps at reasonable prices. Martin even did incidental work. One day he sprayed our lawn to kill the dandelions and then fixed some sprinklers that weren't spraying correctly. Also took the time to explain and show me how to change the spray pattern and direction on the sprinklers so I could maintain them as necessary. Even provided me with a little tool that certainly makes it easy to do. Having this additional knowledge is really invaluable to someone like me who likes to be self sufficient whenever possible. Even our neighbors who had been watching as the project progressed and were very impressed with the quality of work and overall look it added to the house. When I am ready to do my backyard landscaping, this will be the only company I call. Thank you Martin for turning our vision into a beautiful reality! Carol D.

Martin and his team are true experts in their craft. From the brainstorming of the design, to the choice of product types and features, to the execution, the team helped my fiancé and I achieve our dream backyard! Martin is an expert in our local Yucaipa area and had great relationships with suppliers that got us great prices as well as choices for what we wanted. Martin was honest in his quoting, spot on actually, and we finished both on time and on the budget that we provided him. He runs his team so well, and even has his sons involved which we loved and thought was so endearing. The team was so clean and professional while working. Our yard and dogs were always respected and Martin communicated with us through the entire process. He went above and beyond doing some additional weeding, sprinkler work, and clean-up help for us too. We really couldn’t have asked for a better local expert to help us along the way. Will always work with him!

Martin did a great job with listening to my vision for my landscape. His years of experience with decomposed granite was a real asset. His desire to bring forth that vision has been a fun creative adventure. Martin was informed on recycled water irrigation and installed a water efficient landscape around a newly built deck .He came up with creative solutions to many landscape challenges.I highly recommend Martin and his team for any residential landscape project he should desire.

Creative Landscapes were great to work with. Martin helped us design a drought resistant hardscape yard that is beautiful and low maintenance. The brickwork, boulders, and plant selection are perfect. He even designed a drainage system in the yard that worked perfectly when we had heavy rains. The work was done quickly and all of his staff were professional and respectful of our property. We are very pleased and highly recommend Creative Landscapes.
