I called Earthcare because I wanted to a second opinion on whether I need a new sub-drive for the irrigation well. Monica took the call and made an appointment; she was professional and helpful. Mandy and Jorge arrived on the morning of the appointment and worked together to troubleshoot the problems I was having with the well pump not holding pressure. They were professional and took the time to evaluate various options. They were also clear about what the company can do and that the company does not handle sub-drive problems. I appreciated their transparency. They also made some helpful recommendations

I had a very positive experience with EarthCare Landscaping. The owner, Lisa, was very responsive and worked well within my budget. Ulan and his crew of installers came to the job with a great attitude and worked so very hard. I worked very closely with Shireen Zia. She has a great eye for working with drought tolerant landscaping. Shireen took my property from drab to fabulous in a few weeks, without having to draw up expensive site plans. She listened to me and completely followed through with my expectations.

I had a very bad experience with a designer closely affiliated with Earthcare Landscaping named Agi Kehoe. I'd like potential Earthcare clients to be wary of hiring this particular designer. She has a good knowledge base on natives but takes the saying "my way or the highway" to the extreme, especially regarding hardscape and edibles. In Feb 2019, she quit the landscaping design job I hired to do, mid-way through the job and after accepting a considerable payment for it. She did this at the point in the job when I was supposed to (by her service contract) give her feedback on her

We had a really good experience with Earthcare Landscaping. They removed concrete, put in a stone patio and steps that are absolutely gorgeous, poured a new driveway, built a bike shed, installed French drains and a laundry to landscape system, placed hammock posts, and planted native plants.
Deva was very patient with me as we fine-tuned the landscape design to get it just right. Lisa and the crew kept right to the schedule and communicated with us very well. It can be a little unnerving to make so many changes and to see stone stairs being built right next to brand new sliding glass doors,

We hired Earthcare Landscaping to install a design in our backyard in August 2015. This included leveling and amending the soil, installing drip irrigation throughout including for California native plants and a small blue fescue lawn, installing a small paver area, and refinishing our deck.
Our plant irrigation has held up well, though most of the plants did not survive and we ended up replacing them ourselves with other plants. As I recall they were polite, punctual, and generally responsive.
We had two major problems. Since the install three years ago, about 1/4 of our lawn has dies each year

We recently used Earthcare to refresh our yard which they had installed originally several years ago. We weren't sure if we needed a designer since it was just a refresh but we are really glad we decided to work with Deva. She listened to all of our feedback and came back with a design that was perfect for our family. The whole team really takes pride in their work and everybody was very nice starting with the owner, Lisa. She checked in on the work daily and was able to accommodate a few last minute changes and additions. Deva also came back recently to apply some fertilizer and check on

I am updating the review I posted in January of 2018, and I am downgrading it to one star....The job that the planting team did continues to disappoint.
We had wondered why our water bill had not gone down...in fact had increased with our effort to keep the plants alive. We figured that it was due to the garden getting established and being in the first year. During the winter there was adequate rain, the garden looked good and we were even on the California Native Garden tour. But as we got into summer we had to hand water to keep some plants alive. I asked Agi Kehoe, our designer and person

I appreciate the philosophy of this company and everyone I talked with and met was kind, seeming to know their craft. I give it two stars because it seems a bit dishonest and the experience as a whole was disappointing. I was told I had to start the process by having the design person come out to my house for $100, that would go toward the work if we used the company. I happily did that assuming this process would work. However, they failed to mention at this point that it would be costing $100 an hour to design the yard and for our 1500 ft front yard it would take 22 hours to just design. I&apos

EarthCare Landscaping has been wonderful to work with. We are thrilled with the transformation of our aging backyard into a drought tolerant retreat. The design staff, installation crew, and owner, Lisa Gates are a great team. Knowledgeable, accommodating and approachable, they made the whole experience go quickly and with outstanding results.
We look forward to our continuing association with the professionals at EarthCare Landscaping.

Through our landscape designer, (Sherri Osaka) we were directed to Lisa of EarthCare Landscaping. Lisa carefully reviewed our plans, measured our yard and made some suggestions that Sherri took and adjusted the design.
Once the contract was signed and the dates set, Lisa went to work, one-time and budget. The work her crew did was amazing. The rock and slate work is stunning as is the work performed by the carpenter. EarthCare took extra care to assure the project was completed professionally. Our yard was done in early October and still looks new. With all the rain we have had the French

We carefully selected the gardener who would help us move to a more California water friendly front yard. They redid our yard 18 months ago and said it would "grow in". Well, more plants died than got bigger and we have a desert for a front yard. I am going to have to go and do this myself. While they followed up once or twice initially, the plants they put in never really filled in. For the price we paid, we expected an attractive front area to our house. It's awful.

I want to highly recommend EarthCare Landscaping's design service. (Note that we plan to have EarthCare install our landscaping, but that won't happen until Spring 2017.)
My first impression of this business came from Sherah, who coordinates and schedules their services as part of her duties. She is excellent at communicating, either via phone or email or combination, your choice. She's well-organized, easy to understand, and follows up every step of the process with confirmed information that assures that everyone is on the same page. I really appreciate this type of customer

I had to leave a review cause these guys did such an awesome job. We decided to get a Natural Front Yard and go through Santa Clara County water district for there rebate program. Earthcare works specifically with the Water district so they made the process super easy. The job they did was totally outstanding I now have the nicest yard on my street ( I think so at least ). They excavated my existing lawn. Then they planted all California Native Plants, with new irrigation hooked up to a timer. They also added a beautiful flagstone path on both sides of my walk way.

Earthcare gave us a renovation plan for a meadow we had had installed years ago, and had been fighting with weeds and struggling plants ever since. Deva Luna and her crews were great. They analyzed the soil, improved it organically where needed, recommended a set of new plants in areas where plants were struggling, and selected the smallest possible size plants that would work - plugs in many cases. I really like this instead of companies that bring in gallon or bigger plants that frequently struggle or die in the summer as they get established. They were even willing to divide some existing

We spent months planning and researching our back yard project the Spring of 2015. Unfortunately, a dirt patch still sits where we removed the lawn, waiting for a patio and landscaping work. The office and phone coverage is part time, but professional, after I persisted in reaching them.
We had a very awkward time with this small company, and wish it had gone differently.
Clearly our small budget of $12,000 was not worth the time and trouble to heal what occurred, after their landscape consultant, Deva Luna, mishandled the consultation. It was a terrible experience. We waited one month for

We hired Earthcare Landscaping under its Natural Front Yards Program. In their words, "NFY is a professionally installed lawn replacement program that achieves cost effectiveness by the use of smaller plants directly planted in deep sheet mulch, with drip irrigation." Clients select design and plants by using a pre-designated palette designed specifically for NFY. There is a choice of 5 palettes...we chose the Mediterranean palette. We have beautiful new flagstone pathways, replacing our old dull grey, cracking aggregate walkways.
We are very, very pleased with the quality of the work

A previous contractor had installed back patio too high so it was touching the stucco. The job was to lower the patio or build a bed so that the stucco was not in contact with the patio or soil.
Earthcare inspected the site (took a couple of reminders), gave us two options, and we chose the lower priced option. No pressure at all. They scheduled the job, they prepared for the job, they were on site on time, and did the work on time with good quality. A pleasure to work with. They are very knowledgeable about sustainable landscaping practices, and are thoroughly professional in their conduct. I

Earthcare landscaping does an outstanding job. I've hired them twice for design, planning and installation of backyards. Both their hardscape and landscape work is highly recommended. Their crews are careful, clean, complete and when we forgot to give them guidance they seemingly made the right choices every time. We're thrilled with our backyard as it grows in - harvesting fruits and veggies and enjoying the beauty of the plants. Very happy to recommend them and give them 5 stars.
