Calvin Craig Landscaping Design Build

We had an excellent experience working with Calvin Craig Landscaping. From first contact, they were straightforward. After I’d filled out an online form about the project (a small front yard), Ignacio came over. We came up with a high-level plan. Then a bit of back and forth as we got a clearer picture of the design and the price. My husband’s priority was a healthy green lawn and my priority was California natives to attract pollinators and a row of roses. I gave a list of natives to Ignacio and he came up with a design that incorporated my choices plus the row of roses along the front. The rendering of the design and the images of the flowers helped us move forward. We signed the contract and the crew came out about ten days later. Jorge was lead for the crew. We worked directly with him, making some alterations about bed borders and plant locations. At the end of each day, the walkways were clear; all the gear was packed into a corner. Also, the crew did some extra things that weren’t in the contract. And, they finished a day earlier than expected. We’ve had some issues with sprinkler timing on the new lawn. But Calvin came out and made adjustments. It’s looking good. Calvin, Ignacio, Jorge (and crew) make a great team. Each of them listened to us as we moved through the project, and responded with the changes we requested. And they kept to budget. If we do another landscaping project, we will absolutely be working with Calvin Craig Landscaping.

Calvin Craig and his team did an outstanding job transforming our front yard. We had worked with a designer to create a landscaping plan that included trees, ground cover, irrigation, hardscaping (like pouring concrete), lighting and a fence. Craig provided a fair proposal which he accepted. He brought a work team of about 4-5 to carry out the installation over 4-6 weeks, and also helped us with sourcing. He was flexible when we needed to adjust plant choices and colors. His crew was always on time, professional, and left the site clean every day. Calvin was great to work with—he kept us updated throughout the project and gave insightful recommendations, especially given his knowledge of the Walnut Creek area. He managed everything seamlessly. The final result exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Calvin and look forward to working with him again.

Marlene and her team helped us reimagine our front yard. They removed our lawn and now we have a lovely habitat garden which attracts bees, birds and butterflies . We also use their knowledgeable maintenance services. People are wowed by our garden and so are we and we are pesticide free too.
