We hired DRC to redo our front landscaping which was provided by the builder of our home. It wasn't very pleasing and contained many plants we didn't like.

We hired DRC to redo our front landscaping which was provided by the builder of our home. It wasn't very pleasing and contained many plants we didn't like. Tracie did a great job designing a yard containing all of the elements we requested and using plants we preferred. After a six week wait, they began the work early in August and were done within a week and a half. This was much sooner than we expected and there were no days off as we experienced with other landscape contractors in the past. Great job all around.

We could not be happier with the work preformed by DRC Landscaping. DRC demonstrated their professionalism from the first phone call until completion of the warrantee period.
Bella Morales did a great job designing our landscaping. When we moved into our newly constructed home, we weren't exactly sure what we wanted. During the design process we changed our minds several times. Each time Bella revised the drawings and provided an estimate so we could make informed decisions. Bella is knowledgeable, patient and friendly.
DRS provided a detailed and accurate quote. The job finished on budget and schedule. We made a few minor changes during construction. The changes were made without question and without additional cost . It was a pleasure working with Luis Pintor and the installation team.
Our relationship did not end with the completion of construction. DRC supported their product. Luis Pintor came out multiple times to fix minor issues, explained how to program the sprinkler timers and showed me how to turn the sprinklers off for winter.
At the end of the warrantee period DRC Landscaping replaced the few plants that didn't survive the first year. We had some additional work done at the same time. Victor Arrequin and Brian did a great job.
We are extremely pleased with the quality and performance of DRC Landscaping.
DRC was a great company to work with. Their design team made renderings, adjusted them as we desired, and came back with a great vision. They then put the plan into work. Their work staff was respectful, responsible, and proficient. Upon completion of our project, DRC came back and resolved all end of project concerns we had. They did this without question or prompting. Lastly, I think their pricing was fair. I would highly recommend them!

Our experience with DRC Landscaping has been exemplary! Their crew is respectful, responsive, extremely hard-working, creative and precise. While working on our project, they became part of our family, and our landscaping is gorgeous. Their owner, Danny, cares about his clients and their satisfaction with each aspect of the work, and Bella and Luis were hands-on and a joy to work with during the process. Shout out to Leonel, Priscilliano, Alonso, and Miguel who worked tirelessly in hot, summer conditions to finish our job. We could not be happier with our choice to go with DRC!

DRC Landscaping installed an additional lawn area to our backyard with sprinklers and hard skipping and they did an amazing job! All of the crew were accommodating to small changes along the way they had great suggestions and in the end the final project was better than we expected. I want to recognize all of the crew for being so friendly and helpful: Luis Pintor, Mario, Arturo, and Luis Antonio, thank you all!

I couldn’t be happier with my choice in choosing DRC for my landscape design and patio project. From the moment of initial contact where Gabbie and Tracie were able to turn my thoughts into renderings I knew I was on the right path. Danny added additional reassurances and insight. Additional shout out to Luis and his crew, which made the day to day adjustments as the project progressed. Even the fine tuning at the very end left nothing but a great experience and a beautiful end result.

Although I wasn’t a paying customer, I wanted to recognize DRC Landscaping for the incredible kindness they showed my family. After my sister’s home was devastated by the recent flood in Hidden Valley, they volunteered their time and equipment to help move heavy mud, haul away water-damaged furniture and belongings, and tackle the overwhelming cleanup.
What touched us even more is that after already helping, they reached out and offered to come back again if we needed more assistance. That level of generosity and compassion is rare.
DRC Landscaping didn’t just offer landscaping services—they showed what it means to care about the people in their community. We are deeply grateful for everything they’ve done, and I would wholeheartedly recommend supporting a business with this kind of integrity and heart. Thank you for making such a difficult time a little easier for our family.

We love our outdoor space! Tracie and the team did a wonderful job on the design and installation of our landscape and were so helpful throughout the process. It was seamless and very professional. We couldn’t imagine working with any other group. A+
