Eco-Friendly Landscape Maintenance & Gardening in San Diego

  Very responsive and sensitive to my needs. I live out of state and worked remotely with the Palafox crew to turnover overgrown landscaping in my rental home. ... read more
We are so grateful for their hard work to revive neglected areas and their recommendations to reduce ongoing maintenance and water usage.

The outdated Watering System and sprinklers were replaced with efficient low flow products. Shrubs were replaced with low maintenance, drought tolerant plants. The crew converted a large flower bed to a nice concrete patio!

Highly recommend this company for their forward thinking and knowledge of the "plant world"

  We are so pleased with the responsiveness and efficiency of Eco Gardners. We imagined our landscape needs and they brought it to fruition. They worked with our... read more limited budget and suggested phasing the work so over time our needs and desires could be completed. Eco Gardners thank you for fulfilling our vision.

  We needed a yard clean up on a rental property. They were responsive with getting us a bid. Once approved they finished job quickly and efficiently

  I recently used Eco Gardeners to redo patio irrigation and plantings. They did a great job on all counts; timeliness, planning, cost, and delivery. I would recommend them for such... read more a project, and would use them again.

  I've had landscaping projects that didn't go so well, but not this time! The owner and his team totally delivered in making our canyon lot useable. The owner scanned the... read more blueprints from our designer and made the lot look exactly as envisioned! Every detail, no matter how small, was accounted for. If there was an opportunity to fix something and improve it, it was done without our prompting. The level of service and professionalism was more than we had hoped for. I only wish they did plumbing, too! Darn it.

  Pete and his crew are the best. We called them when we got an eye-popping water bill and were sure that our watering system was at fault, but couldn't... read more figure out how or why. He came out, found and fixed all the leaks, and installed a solar sync system that regulates the watering according to the weather, a wonderful device. Our next water bill showed we had used 40% less water after he fixed the system and installed the device. Can't say enough good things about these folks.

  Working with Pete has been a really great experience. There are many reasons why you would want to use EcoGardeners for your gardening and landscaping needs, but here are a... read more few things that stand out for me:

1. Pete actually knows a lot about plants, trees, flowers, essentially anything for your garden. He's very knowledgeable and you can trust his opinion. He knows what will grow best in certain locations, what will look best, and how to save money buying and maintaining your garden.
2. Pete and his team take pride in their work, they really are perfectionists when it comes to detail and doing the job right. I remember Pete taking out a tape measure to ensure the planters he helped me buy were located within perfect dimensions so they would look the best aesthetically - he really cares about every detail.
3. Talking to Pete on a few occasions, I could easily see he loves what he does, being hands on with gardening and landscaping. He took the time to meet with me on his off time during the weekend simply because he enjoys his work, so it's no surprise he's also very good at it!
4. In terms of landscaping, he actually provided me better landscaping ideas than full service landscaping companies that I contacted. His designs are visionary, and I fully trust him with my garden.
5. He'll actively look to save you money where it makes sense. While working on my property, he saved me $2,000 in buying planters by actively seeking out various alternatives, all on his own time. I didn't expect that level of commitment, so I have to say I am impressed.

You can't go wrong with EcoGardeners if you're in their area of service!

  My husband and I could not be happier with Pete Abernathy and his team. They are all incredibly friendly, professional, and hardworking. We had lots of work done... read more to our yard, both in terms of planting and irrigation, and are very pleased with the result. It's a pleasure to work with people who take pride in their work and who are so responsive to their clients' wishes and concerns. Go EcoGardeners!

  Pete and the whole team are fantastic and top-notch professionals. We installed a drought tolerant landscape in the front yard 4 years ago. After hiring (and releasing) two landscaping companies... read more who did not know how to trim or maintain this type of yard and watching things constantly die from overwatering, we found Pete's company on Yelp. Since we hired them, we haven't had any issues with the front yard and all the plants look wonderful. He's super friendly, always available by phone or text if you have a question or concern, timely in showing up according to schedule, and attentive to any requests you may have. He knows the plants really well (knows when to trim and how much to water) and will give you a worry-free service. He can help you pick out the correct type of plants depending on the amount of light they will receive and also is an expert on drip systems and programming your watering schedule for sprinklers. It's hard to find good landscapers that understand xeriscape plants, but these guys know their stuff and do their research! In addition, they are just plain nice guys and will go the extra mile to help. For example, he helped bring back some plants from near death after we had the house fumigated and resuscitated our back lawn after it had nearly died from over cutting. They even stopped by the house when our alarm went off while we were traveling to make sure it was just a false alarm (the dogs knocked open a door). As other people on Yelp say, they are not the cheapest, but we've learned the hard way that you certainly get what you pay for in this industry. In the long run, you will save money as you won't pay to replace all the dead plants that were destroyed by inexperienced gardeners! Thanks Pete!
