Our dogs had ruined the backyard and it was time for us to find a landscaper. We had interviewed four, and was pleased with Goers Landscaping. Ben was very knowledgeable, made great suggestions and was also flexible. They were also able to find per friendly plants. We can’t wait until spring for all the plants and shrubs to fill in.

Our steep hillside was a disaster. We had horrible erosion and every time it rained, mud would end up all over our yard. Goers Landscaping terraced the hillside with timber retaining walls and steps, and now the entire area is safe and actually usable. So glad we called them before the rain!

Thank you, Bernadette! It was a pleasure working on your Simi Valley backyard landscaping project. We're glad you love the new artificial turf, pavers, and dog-friendly plants!

Great company to work with. I reached out on a Saturday not expecting a response until Monday and they promptly responded with a call. They came over on a Monday to look the spot I needed to have replaced. Gave me an estimate that came in below what I was expecting. Their team came in yesterday and did a fantastic job replacing what was left of my side yard with new sod and tuned my sprinklers.

Goers Landscaping did the landscaping for my elderly mother’s home, and I can’t say enough good things about them. They were so patient with her and took the time to explain every detail so she felt comfortable throughout the process. They even provided visuals beforehand so we could actually see what the new landscape would look like and came back with material samples to help us make decisions.
These guys are truly in a different class. Their estimates are incredibly detailed, communication is excellent, and everyone on their team was an absolute pleasure to work with. It’s rare to find a company that puts this much care into both the work and the customer experience.
Highly recommend Goers Landscaping.

Dr Lizzie Tuckey2 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Dr has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We were worried about our hillside and backyard with all the rain expected this year and wanted to get everything taken care of before the season. Goers came out, walked the whole property with us and gave us their recommendations. We ended up having them redo the landscaping and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.
We had gotten a couple other quotes, but Goers was the only company that really stayed in communication. They called before coming out, showed up when they said they would and even followed up a week after the job to make sure everything still looked good.
They definitely do things the old fashioned way. Good communication, fair pricing and people who actually care about the work they leave behind. Really happy we went with them.
Thank you, Lizzie! Hillside landscaping, erosion control, and complete backyard transformations are what we do best. Quality craftsmanship and dependable service since 1982!
Austin Grinberg3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Austin has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
The Goers Landscaping team did an amazing job with our sod installation — our yard went from completely brown/dead to green lawn in just a couple of days. They were professional, on time, and cleaned up perfectly after the job. Communication was great throughout, and the price matched the original quote with no surprises. Couldn't be happier with the results. I also want to highlight the team's dedication to ensuring the job was fully complete even after we had some critters trying to lift up the sod following the initial installation. The team went above and beyond to help install fencing to deter the critters and even replaced sod that was ruined. Amazing work— already planning to use them again for future projects!
