“I recently hired Lifetime to replace some of the hardscaping around my house. We had to delay the start of the work because of rain in November but we finally started in the beginning of December. The crew were here for about a week except for Sunday and had the demo done in about one day, although I think it took a little into the second day as my patio was laid extra thick and breaking thru it was definitely a process. They also had to move the sprinklers in the back where I had a retaining wall replaced. I’m super happy with the result. The front patio feels a lot larger now that it’s not concrete and flagstones, the walkway is no longer a trip hazard, and the driveway is much cleaner. They even managed to make it line up with my semi uneven sidewalks. The back yard also feels larger with a shorter wall. They also replaced all my front landscaping lighting. I still need to get the flower beds mulched and planted so I haven’t buried the low voltage lines yet. I think one of the sprinkler heads may have been damaged but that’s minor and easy to fix.”

“When we moved in 2020, we found our dream home, but needed to complete the landscaping for our front and backyard. The designer we worked with recommended Jason Wang of Aquagreen Landscapes. We felt at ease and comfortable with Jason from the very start. Before we began, he met with us to further update our design, and made some great suggestions to further enhance it. He created a 3D walkthrough rendering which helped us visualize what the finished project would look like. His quote for the build out was reasonable and competitive. Jason and his team (Alfredo is awesome!) took care of all the details from start to finish. They created and submitted the plans for HOA approval. They got all the city permits. He coordinated the various teams for the different aspects of our project: pool, tile, etc. Jason and Alfredo were always very responsive and ensured that their crews showed up regularly. As with any construction project, we made some adjustments along the way, which Jason and his team were very receptive about. Jason would always try to make something we wanted work. For the few things that didn't turn out as expected, Jason and his team were very responsible and promptly made corrections. We had a very positive experience and highly recommend Aquagreen Landscape to anyone looking to create their dream yard. We are looking forward to entertaining and enjoying our outdoor space, and making many memories there for years to come!”
