Pro Earth Landscape, Inc.

Over the past three years we have had ProEarth renovate our backyard and front yard. We couldn't be happier with the 'paradise" they created for us! Simply put: the owners are creative, patient, knowledgable , talented and FUN. Their employees who have spent numerous grueling hours cutting stone, concrete, wood, etc. are more than a pleasure to have around. Without a doubt ProEarth is the best!!

We were very pleased with the end result of our backyard renovation by Pro Earth Landscape. Our project entailed removal of a cement patio, installation of pavers, creating a garden area, installation of a bbq island with a concrete counter top, new plantings and lighting. The team that we worked with had a good vision of what we wanted and in the end, delivered. We were very pleased with the products and professionalism of the workers that were here daily. The project ended in November, 2014 and we are loving every minute we spend back there.

We moved to San Diego after living in the Midwest. We had no idea what to do with our backyard. Vern helped us design an extended living space for our family and within our budget. We worked with Vern to create our vision on paper. Each part of our yard has a purpose. We watched the professionals build our vision. They were courteous and always left the yard clean when they finished for the day. I felt that we were all working together. We were never rushed to pick out a color or tiles. If problems were detected, we called, and were taken care of in a timely matter. I valued the walk-throughs with Vern and his staff during the process. I have and will recommend Pro Earth Landscape, Inc. to my neighbors and friends. They have been in business for many years with an excellent team of workers. The price matched our quote. Our backyard is proof of my vision.

Pro Earth is by far the best Landscape Co I have ever worked with. Thoughtful design suggestions, timely and courteous workers, professional, skilled craftsmen all led to a absolutely spectacular back yard. I have owned many homes, and done countless oudoor environments, this was my very favorite of them all. Thank you Vern and team.

Pro Earth designed and constructed our new front yard. They were professional and prompt in all of their actions and communications. They brought our vision to a reality. Their field supervisor Shelby is fantastic. She worked very closely with us to explain our options, provide insight, and help us to understand the process. Still today she stays connected with us to resolve any concerns we have.

Pro Earth Landscape, Inc. rewired and replaced light bulbs in my outdoor lighting system. It's looking fantastic again and I'm ready for spring nights outside.

My wife and I celebrated a big milestone when we purchased our first home in August of 2013 in San Marcos. As this was new construction, we were tasked with researching, designing and developing landscape for our property from the ground up. After contracting design plans––which included both intricate cobblestone and concrete hardscape, irrigation and drainage, outdoor lighting, and complete softscape––we set about researching for contractors to build the project. After several bids and challenges in finding the right fit, we discovered Pro Earth Landscape, based in Encinitas, CA, online via Houzz.com. Their online portfolio showed excellent work, proper certification, and very positive accolades. With a guarded but optimistic disposition, we made the call for a consultation. From that point forward, every single interaction and process was a complete validation that we ultimately made the right decision! From the very first phone call with Robin Holtz, who manages the company with her husband Vern, we knew this was a special group. The initial consultation with Robin, Vern, and Hector Cisneros––who oversees hardscape––was the absolutely picture of professionalism, juxtaposed with a warm, caring, and honest demeanor that instantly put us at ease. We explained our designs, to which Pro Earth adapted seamlessly, while working to enhance and advise as needed. We were impressed with Pro Earth’s commitment to retaining in-house crews without subcontracting, eagerness to provide multiple, current references, and equally thrilled that all of our specifications, from materials to plantings, were met with both enthusiasm and commitment to quality. When the bid promptly arrived, we were elated to hear that our entire project was not on-budget, but under-budget (for comparison, we had an active bid from another company that was $20,000 higher than our preferred max, after reducing materials and plantings). This, along with sterling, verified references, was the icing on the cake, and we hired them instantly. Each step of the process over the next several weeks, to reiterate, was a total validation that we made the right choice. Hector and his crews were all friendly, hardworking, consummate professionals, working with both efficiency and attention to detail. Any and all questions were answered promptly and honestly––communication with crews both on and off-site, it should be stressed, was outstanding from start to finish. Watching the project come to life in such capable hands was a joy. Special commendation is also to be given to Shelby Watson, Field Supervisor specializing in planting and softscape. Shelby has a work ethic and attitude that are such great assets, to us as clients, and to Pro Earth. Her vast knowledge of horticulture is bolstered by a methodology that focuses on the long-term, providing plantings best suited to our tastes and designs, while simultaneously ensuring optimum compatibility with our regional climate. In addition to her expertise on landscape care and technology, Shelby exudes a fun and engaging personality, at once laid-back and humorous, while ensuring the highest level of service. Working with her, as well as Robin and Lisa Picciano (office management) on every detail was a pure pleasure. Succinctly, we could not be happier with our end result; the attached photos speak for themselves. Our house is now our home, and we are looking forward to years and years of enjoyment in our yards. We would not hesitate for a second in hiring Pro Earth again for any future landscaping, and recommend them to the highest degree. Thank you, Pro Earth!

We finally decided to do something about our backyard. I worked with a Landscape Designer and came up with a set of project plans. I looked for several companies and did an initial bid out. Not only was ProEarth the low bidder, but they actually showed me exactly what I was looking for at viewing other recently completed projects. Vern, Robin and team were excellent to work with and involved throughout my project...not to mention very fun as well. We basically started from scratch. Removed all hardscape and started fresh. When complete, we had a new larger patio, with stone stamp and multicolor concrete staining, grill area/counter w/seating, outdoor gas fireplace, retaining wall all with stone veneer + a antique oak wood mantel. Vern's crew repaired the sprinkler system and installed conduits, electrical for the grill, outdoor lighting, custome outdoor TV/sound system. We highly recommend ProEarth at every opportunity and several of our neighbors have used them for their landscape needs. If I had know about Vern and ProEarth, I would not have needed a Landscape architect. Vern had wonderful ideas and helped us modify the original plan to a more useful and aesthectically pleasing layout.

ProEarth did a great job from the design of our front and backyard to its completion. They were very responsive and accommodated our requests. They were very detail oriented with the actual job, as well as with the expense tracking. We are very happy with the finished product, and would use them in the future.

We hired Pro Earth Landscaping to redo our front yard and completely do our backyard from scratch. From the first phone call with Vern, this company was totally the most professional contractor we have ever worked with. The koi pond, waterfall, walls, plants and lighting far exceeded our dreams. I go out on my balcony and ask myself "Is this really my backyard?" If anyone wants one stop shopping done beautifully, this is the company you need to hire. I would personally like to thank Vern, Robin, Lisa, Manual, Angel and especially Shelby for pulling this entire project together. Robin's dad Wally also did such a good job on our patio that people comment "That looks like it has always been on the house".

Pro Earth did a major backyard project for us and we could not be more pleased with the results. Vern, Robin, Shelby, Hector and the entire team were great. They were punctual and went the extra mile to make sure we were satisfied. Additionally, we live in a community with very strict HOA guidelines. Pro Earth (and Robin in particular) worked hard to get our project through the process in a very "painless" way. We highly recommend Pro Earth. They were great from start to finish. And they continue to follow up to make sure we are happy.

Pro Earth Landscape did an excellent job of renovating the flower beds around my front yard AND adjusting/ modifying my sprinkler system to accomodate the new layout! The team they sent out were courteous, efficient and extremely professional! The Field Supervisor (Ms Shelby Watson) was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the project, from plant selection to irrigation functionality. They completed the job under the estimated timeline and cleaned up after themselves which made it a pleasure to come home and admire the finished product. Highest recommendation!
