Since I had previously been very impressed with Salvador Gallardo / Authentic Landscape on an urgent repair for our leaking irrigation valve system, I called on him again for my long dreamed of overhaul of our entire front and back yard beginning May 22, 2024.

He advertises "You can be sure that you will receive quality work with a personal touch" which is exactly what I needed. I had a rather vague plan and relied on his expertise to help develop my dream. The major goal was to completely remove all the turf, leaving only the trees, a grape arbor (which Salvador needed to redesign and expand), and a couple areas of plants. We used a turf replacement rebate and he and Jesus, plus his sons Christian and Jesse, spent 2 weeks digging out all the nasty weeds and a several-inch layer of dirt. Our irrigation system was converted to sprinklers for the garden areas and drip lines around the outer areas of trees and original landscape plants plus a new control unit. Some of the trees required some pruning also.

It was fun working with Salvador to figure just where my front and back “gardens” and pebble pathways would go. We added slabs of flagstone around the front and back faucets and replaced the remaining area with shredded wood. Additionally, he replaced one entire gate and had to redesign and repair of my second gate. My back garden is essentially a lawn replacement of ground cover plants, and the front garden utilized a lot of succulents and several other plants dug out and from my pots plus lots of poppy seeds. We added some ground cover and a variety of other plants I found on clearance sales. We incorporated my collection of granite rocks, and I’ve continued detailing with decorative features to make my “Never Too Late For A Happy Childhood” theme garden with fairy, farm, lighthouse, and Santa and reindeer areas, lots of solar lights/fireworks, windchimes, spinners, toys and sculptures,

While reasonably priced, it was an expensive project but, after 20 years of dreaming, so worth the smile I can’t quit.
Obviously I continue to highly recommend Salvador and Authentic Landscape. The guys worked very hard and were a pleasure to have around. Being able to make well advised adjustments as work progressed was a great advantage to accomplishing my desires.

Salvador was fantastic! I've never worked with a more communicative or punctual contractor. He always texted/called before arriving and arrived on time, even texting when he took a lunch break. He quickly and professionally fixed our sprinklers, removed old grass, leveled the site, and installed new sod in our backyard. Took 2 days & was very reasonably priced. Would hire Salvador again without hesitation.

Salvador just completed our backyard oasis. He is trustworthy, honest and just awesome. These guys deserve more people to know about their business. If you're still looking for someone to do landscaping work, look no further. He does everything from concrete, artificial turf, curbing... he even fix things if he finds it. Btw our neighborhood has a lot of people doing artificial turf but what Salvador did for me was the most beautiful and realistic looking.
