I am very happy with the outcome of my backyard landscaping project completed by K&D. Specifically, the foreman, Jonathan Medina showed up every day on time and answered any questions I had. He was very detail oriented and explained things thoroughly. I saw him go above and beyond the work scope so that each day I was happy with the work. Cleanliness is very important to me, and at the end of each day he and his crew cleaned to my standards.

Our front lawn was a complete mess (gophers despite a great gopher guy; "grass" was mostly weeds; irrigation created many dry areas and also "too wet" spots; the lawn was way too big and the railroad tie borders were very unsightly. Most of the plants in the beds bordering the lawn were very over-grown and the wild African daisy ground cover had also over-run into the beds and regularly tried to take over the lawn as well.We got a few bids and decided to go with K&D based mostly on the size and expertise of the crew and equipment they have. It would have been a very hard job a smaller firm and at least one such firm said it was too much of a stretch for them. K&D was the most expensive but I'm glad we made the decision to work with them.Our lawn is now truly beautiful with a nice concrete border and a large well-mulched set of bordering beds. There are no RR ties left to be seen although some of them are still there. (Weed fabric and heavy mulching extended the borders and is helping keep the African Daisy in the wild meadow and not in beds/lawn.)As with any large and relatively complex job, there were some issues that came up but they were resolved satisfactorily. With all the rain this Winter and Spring, the new plants/trees haven't grown much so it's hard to say how well they will look and do. They need to get through at least this growing season before I can assess them.Overall, you won't go wrong with K&D. I recommend asking alot of questions and writing down the answers. A mistake I made was not understanding where all the valve boxes would go; once placed, it's way too expensive to fix. So we ended up putting mulch over the boxes to hide them. And we needed to change the planting design & add more at the very last minute which was OK and turned out better than the original design in any event.Services: Lawn landscaping, Yard grading, Landscaping maintenance, Landscape design, Hardscaping

I would like to give a shout out to K & D landscaping crew on truck 55. They keep the office grounds clean and so beautiful. We had someone stop by the office this past week and they specifically commented on how beautiful the grounds were. The team is professional, and all are hard workers. Thank you, K & D Landscaping.

KnD Landscaping is very receptive to answering questions for clients. Our HOA uses them and I can’t say enough good about Jim Salvador who has answered questions about landscaping and offer expertise support in the past and recently. Very knowledgeable and courteous staff allaround

K&D did an amazing job with a home we purchased last year in Adult Village. It was in sore shape before the storms hit last winter, then came torrential rains and heavy winds. The place was a mess.Working with Darlene, together we came up with a plan that fit the budget and made the entire outside (almost) maintenance free. A new fence, irrigation where it had never existed, trees that will stay green year round….I am one grateful, happy customer!

Review of Residential work in Santa Cruz, 2021. New lawn, irrigation, landscape design, installation of plants and trees, and stone work.The end to end experience from Jeremy and the team at K&D was top notch. Jeremy engaged with us early and we worked through the plan and schedule for the upcoming project. Note: Jeremy was very busy and booked months in advance but set aside the time to get us scheduled and start the process. Shortly after getting the initial plan together, Jeremy connected us with the landscape designer to convert the vision into a plan. Liz (Wildflower Landscape I believe) was amazing to work with as well.Once the work started, Jeremy and Josh put a very skilled and attentive team on the project. The team was flexible in working through a few open items and unplanned changes to ensure we were happy customers. Josh was on top of it and Jeremy was available via text/call when needed.The stonework quality is phenomenal. We get many compliments from visitors and love using the outside space as an extension of our home. Many thanks Jeremy and team! Worth every penny.Services: Walkway landscaping, Landscape installations, Yard grading, Lawn care, Garden design, Retaining walls, Sod installation, Landscape design, Hardscaping, Driveway or walkway paving

Great Business! We worked together on community beautification and everything went well. They are a very generous company and graciously volunteered their time to help me on a community service project. Their work is very professional. Jeremy and Jamie were both great to work with!

K&D Landscaping is the company to hire if you want top notch landscaping and design work by experienced professionals with a passion for excellence. After researching our options, we hired K&D to transform our water-thirsty lawns to gorgeous drought tolerant water-wise landscape and couldn’t be happier!From initial consultation to final implementation the transformation was seamless and well-coordinated. Project manager Brian Gates communicated with us every step of the way. His subject matter expertise, dedication to customer service and follow though were remarkable. Kendel White’s creative ideas truly elevated the project and the result was beyond our expectations.The team was always on time, hard working, and conscientious. They swept up at the end of each day and made sure our gates were locked before leaving.Our beautiful new drought tolerant landscape uses a fraction of the water while providing us with a lovely peaceful environment. We wholeheartedly recommend K and D Landscaping to anyone in need of quality landscaping and design services!

Having been involved in the construction industry for almost 40 years, I can count on one hand the number of contractors that are not only a pleasure to work with but also meet or exceed all expectations. K&D is one of them.Without question, K&D Landscaping is first in their class in all phases of landscape design, installations, maintenance or repairs.K&D takes pride in their vehicles, equipment, promptness and professionalism which is a testament as how to run a successful business with repeat customers.I look forward to my next project with K&D.

Everything about our experience with K&D was top notch. We got more than one estimate and others were lower, but K&D was the most responsive and professional by far, so we went with them. Kendal and the rest of the team proved to be real pros, and when all was said and done the final invoice was way lower than K&D's initial bid, and lower than anyone else's!We live on a hillside and had significant water erosion issues. K&D offered a great solution, but the hill wouldn't allow for heavy equipment so the team had to dig and haul everything by hand. Very difficult work.Nevertheless, the all worked efficiently and effectively.The work took place along the property line, and the guys made sure my neighbor was informed and involved with any work that could impact his property.The team was well supervised, always on time, always polite and responsive, never cut corners, kept the place clean, and they finished the project in less than the amount of time they estimated.And, ultimately, the finished product looks fantastic!We look forward to working with K&D again.

K&D Landscaping provided the landscaping for our major remodel. We reached out to several landscaping contractors before deciding to work with K&D. What sold us on their company was 1) their company core values, 2) the responsiveness and professionalism of our estimate POC, and 3) customer feedback from others who had work done by K&D. No major landscape project is without it's challenges. What we most valued about our experience with K&D was the respect and professionalism they brought to the problem solving process when we encountered those challenges/issues. We always felt they respected our point of view and vision for the project. In addition, their crew were also respectful, professional, and competent. That says a lot about how a company is run. Finally, we LOVE how the landscaping turned out. We highly recommend K&D landscaping and would definitely reach out to them for any of our future landscaping projects.

I can't say enough about K & D Landscaping and their entire team. We are an upscale winery that hosts hundreds of people everyday and has over 100 wedding and events annually. So, needless to say, our property has to remain immaculate year round, day in and day out. We switched to K& D a couple years back and the quality and price are completely unmatched in the industry. They maintain incredibly competitive pricing, while over delivering on quality of service. The team is friendly and responsive and when something comes up, they have a team member on site that day. Whether its and irrigation leak, a weekend mow or just a simple upkeep issue that arises, they are there in an instant. I would highly recommend K & D for your commercial or residential maintenance an installation, a 5 star company that deserves the 5 star rating.Thanks K&D from the entire Clos LaChance staff.

Our HOA came to K & D with a design for new xeriscape at our clubhouse. We hired K & D for installation and yesterday the job was completed, on time and done well. It is beautiful, not only my opinion, but many of our 122 residents have commented on the efficient process. Alejandro, Jose, and Leo worked very hard and were professional in all the interactions. When we ran into a problem, both Raphael and Jeremy were quick to find a solution. Our team here at the park particularly appreciated the flexibility and input we were allowed in modifying our design as was needed as the install unfolded. Thanks, Kendel, for a job well done!Service: Yard landscaping

It took 3 phone calls and 5 days for them to tell me they didn’t want to take my project on. Maybe they did me a favor…it probably would have taken them 2 years to start!

These guys are very conscientious and do high quality work. The whole team is nice too! They are very good with communicating, which was critical during our job. During our job we had an evacuation due to the fires, 2 multiday power outages thanks to PGE and our own neighborhood had an an unexpected water outage. They worked with us to reschedule every time. We had a designer do the overall plan but K&D contributed many good ideas to executing the details of the plan. If your situation is not complicated they probably can do the design themselves. We have received multiple compliments from our neighbors. Highly recommend!

Justin and his team at K&D Landscape are a top notch run organization from the bottom up. They did a major landscaping project on our property and did an amazing job on time. Justin has a trained & keen eye and was most helpful in laying out what we wanted. Also, the team was always on time, did great clean ups and excellent communication. Clearly the K&D team has a great culture providing excellent teamwork and outcomes. Plus he writes an excellent column in the Sentinal. Nematodes anyone? We highly recommend K&D to anyone entertaining a world class landscape project.

K&D took our ideas and made them a reality. We could not have asked for a better team to create our dream front yard! The team is professional yet personable. My son loved seeing the tractor in the front yard and every morning they would say hi as we left for the day. They are knowledgeable and extremely efficient. It was amazing to watch our overgrown, junky front yard quickly transform into something beautiful. I highly recommend K&D Landscaping!

K & D Landscaping staff are hard workers, professional, and respectful. They listen to what you need and follow through. I highly recommend their services. I don’t typically do reviews but I so appreciate their work on my property that I thought I’d like others to know about them. I know how hard it is to find people you trust. You can trust that they will do excellent work.

K & D take care of all the landscaping for a very large property I manage. Everyone on their team is professional and take pride in what they do. Every interaction with their staff I have had has been more than pleasant. Anything I need is always taken care of promptly. They are experts at everything, from planting and pruning to irrigation. I am fortunate to work with great people like Shane and Ian. It means a lot to have a responsive team you can trust and rely on.

My husband and I are extremely pleased with KD Landscaping. We worked closely with Darlene to transform our dying front, side and back lawns and yards into warm little sanctuaries. She understood our vision and gave some very helpful suggestions as well. Eduardo and his crew came each day like clockwork and were so friendly and professional. We were amazed at how hard everyone worked and how spotlessly clean they left everything at the end of each day. Now our yards have been completely transformed into areas we can relax in. They are just beautiful. From beginning to end this has been a great experience and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of experience with their own landscaping project.

Working with the management and staff at K&D Landscaping with their employee wellness programs has been a true pleasure for Meraki Fitness. Each employee is open and receptive to the company's core values and the positive energy is a contagious buzz. Everyone has been engaged, helpful, and open to learning more about their own wellness, which in turn makes them a stronger employee with ultimately more satisfied clients. K&D has a well laid out and organized structure and is an example of how treating employees well and as a priority really pays off with dedication and accountability. Thank you for bringing Meraki Fitness into the K&D Family! We look forward to your next meeting!
