Scott McIntyre and his team at Landscape Solutions candigit.com (website), (408) 226-3444 (text/phone) scott@candigit.com (email) did a great job! They were on time, fast, efficient, and the attention to detail was outstanding!They came up with a great design, demolished the old cracked concrete patio, installed a beautiful new interlocking paver patio, new sod lawn, plants and sprinkler system.

Scott and his crew did a fabulous job re-landscaping our back yard. It looks so beautiful that we added french doors so that we could enjoy it more from the inside. The work included removing two trees, demolishing concrete, laying new pavers and a seating wall, adding two gates, low voltage lighting and upgrading the irrigation system. And of course, planting, and this is where Scott really shines. He takes you on a nursery tour to select the plants and gives you a very detailed plant list and the planting plan. It is obvious that he knows and loves plants. He came personally to the job site and laid out all the plants and rocks--clearly he loves that part of the job.I initially called several landscapers and Scott was the only one who promptly and consistently returned calls and communicated. His bid was clear and detailed and we came in on budget except. The crew was on time and kept the job site neat. At the end of the job there were a couple of punchlist items that I saw, and as we walked the job Scott added a few more of his own accord, things I wouldn't necessarily have noticed. All were resolved by the end of the same day.Scott and his crew were flexible about accommodating the french door people, although it meant they had to come back 10 days later to finish the landing by the door. The only caveat I would offer is that if you are on a tight deadline be sure to communicate that to Scott. The time estimate for the job was three weeks, but it took longer. We were in no hurry and it's not the kind of inconvenience you have when your kitchen or bath is out of commission, but if we had had an outdoor event planned or other work scheduled, it would have become an issue. That said, I think that with the communication and project management skills Scott has, he and his team could have worked to deadline if needed. More...

We engaged Scot and his team for a pretty major backyard remodel early this year. It consisted of paving, deck work, drainage, sprinklers, lighting,  regrading, new lawn, a retaining wall, tree cutting and new plants. In Scott's quotes, he clearly itemizes everything and provides you with a clear perspective on the options you are selecting, and considering. He also does a great job drawing up a plan, and explaining the pros and cons, and providing design ideas.As with all major projects there were a few items at the end which we wanted addressed, and this is where Scott stood out. He made sure all the work was completed to our satisfaction, and has even been super-responsive in the months after with various tweaks to sprinklers etc, things that only become obvious after the job has been completed.  I'm pretty sure many other contractors would take the check and run after the job, but Scott has been great in helping make sure everything came together fine. If I ever need to do a big landscaping project again, I would give Scott a call. More...

I just recently completed a landscape project with Scott/Landscape Solutions after finding him on Angie's List.  The job was completed last week and I couldn't be happier with the results.  Since it was a rental property, we didn't want to overspend so we gave Scott a budget to work within.  He came out to give us an estimate, was on time, and provide the estimate the same day.  His crew started the following week killing the lawn and doing the initial prep.  Communication with Scott was excellent throughout the process and I felt he was very knowledgeable about plants and had a good understanding of my expectations (I'm not an easy person to please).Along the way, we added a few extras which did exceed our budget, but I felt the pricing was fair and the communication was great with Scott.The end result was that our back yard landscape project looks so great, our tenants are happy and it's added value to the home.  Scott also provides a 1 year guarantee for the plants which is a huge benefit to ensure that they are planted corrected and selected correctly for the environment.I'm now waiting for a quote for the front yard and I'll have Scott and his crew tackle that job next.  Great ideas, good communicaton, fair pricing, great service.  I would recommend him for your next landscape project.

I don't know about the other person who rated Scott and his team, but we've used them repeatedly over the last few years for every conceivable landscaping project and we've always been completely satisfied. In addition to being thoroughly competent, Scott is unusually pleasant to negotiate and price and design with. My mother has been doing real estate for twenty years, and there's a reason she continues to reference Scott to all of her clients and friends. Get a quote from Landscape solutions, you can't go wrong. More...

Landscape Solutions did a fantastic job on my yard. I would highly recommend them. The workers were polite and cleaned up everyday- and they finished the job on time! Thanks Scott!

I have not yet hired this company , but even with that I need to refute the other review. I have thoroughly investigated this company. As of 9/08/09 ,according to the California State Licensing board ,their insurance, bond,and license is current. I called several of his refrences and they have been quite pleased and found Scott to have excellent workers who cleaned up each day. The former clients I spoke to also found Scott to be easy to work with the whole way through and that he finished the job within budget. also I did not find Scott's bid to be low. In fact it came in a bit higher than another bid I had received. But because of his through knowledge of plants I may go with him anyway.  Scott, the owner of this company, served as the primary contractor,designer and nurseryman for the Green Thumb Nursrey in Los Gatos from 1992-1998. He knows his plants. One suggestion he made was that I kill my current lawn with round-up before having a new lawn installed. Otherwise the roots that are now dormant, in my burmuda grass, will come back and destroy my new beautiful lawn next spring when the roots are no longer dormant, and my lawnis being watered on a regular basis.
