AAA Landscape Specialists, Inc.

I don’t normally write reviews, but AAA was so great I felt that I had to do something to show my appreciation. This is one of the best companies I have ever dealt with and I’m going to recommend them to everyone that needs landscaping. They were extremely professional, patient, and helpful through our whole experience. Their customer service was extraordinary from David all the way through everyone that worked at our house. They were all incredibly polite and helpful every step of the way. If you want an honest estimate and authentic work, this is the company for you. They stuck to the budget and schedule from the estimate even when we made some changes to the original plan while they were working. After making our initial landscaping plans with David I had to deploy and leave my wife to deal with all the landscaping at our new construction house, which I was worried about, but as it turned out I didn’t need to be. Every step of the way they explained everything they were doing and fixed every problem, big and little, that came up. They even worked directly with our home builder to correct problems with the drainage pipes the builder had put in and helped us fix an approval issue with our HOA. Every time I talked to my wife back at home she told me how great AAA was, how helpful everyone was that was working at our home, and how good the yard looked. They made our yard look even better than I had hoped for and when they were done, they cleaned up everything and even painted our fence and touched up our stucco, leaving the house better than it was when they started. Even if another company gives you a lower estimate, pay the extra money because I guarantee you that it is worth it! David, if you read this, thank you so much and please thank the site supervisor too, he was unbelievable. I’m so glad we decided to use these honest, hardworking, professionals. more

David Silver and his team are top professionals in the landscaping field in my opinion. He was very honest about the process right from the beginning, and his team worked very hard to make sure the job was done with top quality throughout. I was home during much of the remodel, and I never saw anyone taking any shortcuts. My wife and I were particularly appreciative of the extra touches they added and/or suggested. My biggest concern before starting the project was that some yahoos would come in and start driving bobcats all over the yard and rip everything up. There were plants and trees and existing landscaping elements we wanted to save. I was very gratified with the care his team took while digging new trenches for gas and sprinkler lines. They almost never damaged anything that wasn't scheduled for replacement, and when they did I was notified and the repair was professionally made. Overall, the results are exactly what my wife and I wanted and the site looks very close to the vision generated by the design architect. We're thrilled. At the conclusion of the work last week we only had one small issue with a sprinkler which was fixed the next working day. I have no hesitation recommending David and his team. They were all great people to work with, honest, and courteous. more

David does a thorough job and stands behind his work. Very flexible and has a great quality finished product. David's team takes time to get it right and doesn't take short cuts other landscapers take. My experience was that if something is not right, his team will fix it without concern. We are pleased at the finished product and the thoroughness of the detail. more

David and his team not only did a tremendous job but were extremely supportive, flexible, accommodating and responsive in all efforts. The team created a beautiful patio for us, significant in size. The property posed a challenge in that the house sits very high on a hill and the driveway can be a significant challenge for construction vehicles. Their skill and teamwork allowed this not to be an issue. In addition, they made references for other vendors to assist us when we were in a bind and they were all excellent. No matter when we called with a concern or comment, we were responded to immediately. It was most impressive. We will now start with David for every landscape and related need we have. Thank you to David and the Team. more

David and Landscape Specialists take pride in their work. They have excellent attention to detail and always put their heart into a project. David's designs are unique and beautiful, and you are sure to get nothing short of extraordinary if you choose them as your landscape design option. They truly add value to your home. more

Victor and his crew did a great job and kept the project on schedule. When all of the work was completed they did a great job of cleaning up and made sure that I was completely satisfied with the entire job. more

David designed and tailored a solution to our landscaping needs. He listened and modified the design to fit our budget and was very good at listening and bringing creative suggestions and recommendations to the table. He and the team were clean and professional everyday. They continued working on my job until it was complete and they finished on schedule as committed. There were no negative suprises and we have received numerous compliments from friends and neighbors. We are thrilled with his work and would highly recommend AAA Landscaping for any job, large or small. He helped bring our vision to life and we have enjoyed our new patio, outdoor fireplace, raised bed garden and orchard area everyday. He even brought in all of the fruit trees and restored our the barbeque saving us lots of money, while making it look brand new. He directed us to his distributor (again saving us money) where we selected the perfect water fountains which really completed the ambience. Thanks David! more

We had contacted AAA Landscape Specialists for assistance in building a water feature wall for an upcoming trade show. We had never built a water wall before and were hesitant in working out the logistics and functionality of the display. David was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about every little detail. He worked with us on planning out the most attractive and functional design. They built the wall, installed the water features and tested everything prior to our show. In addition, David traveled to our show to work with us onsite to ensure there were no problems or hiccups with the water feature wall. His design turned out to be a show stopper! The organic water features paired extremely well with our product, highlighting the display more as an environment rather than a cold stone wall. Traveling attendees made a point to stop by the booth for photo opportunities in front of the flowing backdrop. To add to the already successful energy of the show, our display was featured on IBS TV seen by thousands of viewers. Many thanks to David and his crew. Looking forward to many more beautiful projects with you and your team! more

David Silver understood what we wanted and saw our plan through to completion with complete professionalism. We now have a magnificent front yard, driveway, central courtyard and backyard with built-in barbecue area. more

I had the Pleasure of working with the owner of AAA Landscape; David Silver and his team in the end of 2012 on a landscape design project for new home in the Historic District of Escondido. This area is known for its picturesque cottages, craftsman style homes and perfectly manicured yards. Truth be told, I was a little stressed out with trying to figure out how to get it all done and where I wanted the plants and layout.. But David and his crew came down and literally took all my worries away. They were on time, respectful and had great suggestions for my yard! By the time he left, I was smiling from ear to ear and so excited to begin! A few days later, they arrived to start the job, and it went by so quick I almost could not believe it! Before I knew it, I came home from work and I had a whole new yard! I can't describe that feeling! David's knowledge and professionalism, coupled with his "neighbor like" comforting personality, made this who process fly by, with zero stress! Now, I get to enjoy my new yard and all my neighbors drive by and compliment the work he did! I definitely recommend David and AAA Landscapes! more

Just bought a house, wanted to update/restore the backyard. Bought a new hot tub, wanted to do the electrical and concrete slab - and I wanted everything done right the first time. We started with a walk through, detailing all the things I wanted to do (to my backyard). Mr Silver was helpful and polite, giving suggested solutions to problems I was pointing out. A 3-D model of the backyard was created, we experimented with a few changes, and sat down to brass taxes. After a week of exchanging emails about the 3-D design,we sat down with a finished vision. We went through the itemized list, cut a few ideas, changed some others - and signed the contract. A week later, on the start date, the team showed up and got to work - they arrive at 7 am every day of the week, leave at 3:30, and work right through the day. They are very aware that construction noise would not ingratiate me with my neighbors, and keep the noise down till about 9 am - no jackhammers till then! Honestly, aside from the machine noise, they are a very quiet group. The plant arrangement suggested was very attractive, but we wanted to change a few plants here and there (before they were ordered!)- absolutely not a problem, gave Mr Silver plenty of warning and we got exactly what we wanted. Before every major step, like concrete pouring, Mr Silver would walk the yard with us and make sure all the details were right - the concrete was in the right spots, the plant beds were the right size, etc. Before this project my backyard was a swampy mess. The additional drainage being added, something I hadn't considered but was suggest by Mr Silver, has REALLY improved the look and feel. At every step of the project, Mr Silver was available and helpful. The work is top notch, I won't have to change anything and the experience was great - I highly recommend this company! I see why they win so many awards! more

Of the three landscapers we asked for quotes, David was the only one with a great design and a timely response. While not inexpensive, a great quality job for the money. more

AAA Landscape Specialists did such a great job on our front yard project, we asked them back to do our back yard. On both projects, the results surpassed our expecations in terms of creative design and high quality execution. Relaxing under our new covered patio is like being at a resort. We absolutely love it. more

We absolutely love our new backyard. The bar, BBQ, and firepit have changed the way we entertain. It has added a lot of usable space to our house. Landscape Specialists did a great job taking our ideas, improving upon them and exceeding expectations. Thanks to David and his outstanding team. more

David responded promptly to our inquiry and provided a thoughtful, detailed and competitive proposal. His analysis and work paid close attention to detail. His work was completed on time inspite of some weather complications. His crews are courteous and friendly and leftbthe job site in good order. It is a job well done. more

David Silver was great to work with. Very responsive, patient and understanding working with us to keep within our limited budget. Everyone in the company was competent and professional in every phase of the project: Dan's design; Victor's meticulous attention to detail; Phil's beautiful carpentry; concrete installation. We received excellent value for our investment. The final project transformed our uninviting backyard to a beautiful, restful oasis that adds great value to our home. more

Landscape Specialists provided a very high level of service in landscaping my new property from scratch. Owner David Silver was attentive and available at all times, and we met weekly to review progress. His staff were always helpful. The quality of design and execution was excellent. more

Very happy with the quality of work and the staff that completed the installation more

AAA Landscape kept every promise made at the onset of the project. The installers were the hardest workers I have ever seen and very helpful. David Silver really knows his trade and his advice was invaluable. I think the most satisfying element of this project was that AAA was on the job every day and finished exactly when they said they would. Pretty rare with other contractors we have used. We really feel like we got our money's worth on this project. We were always given a price range of components used for the project. So we knew we were getting top quality items. more

The working crew was always on time, quiet and respectful the four weeks that they worked on the project. Six years after losing my backyard to a landslide behind my home, the final result exceeded my expectations. more
