California Smartscape - Poway, California

Andrea Mattingly

Would give 6 stars if I could. From start to finish, we could not be happier with California Smartscape. Andrew carefully studied our lot, listened to our wants/needs and planned the landscape of our dreams, all the while considering our budget. Project manager, Leo, executed masterfully and thoughtfully suggested additions to the plans that were beneficial to the layout - we could always count on him. Krissy has incredible knowledge and worked so hard to provide us with just the right plants. Our yard is so aesthetically pleasing - I smile every day when I go outside. Reuben and crew were extremely dependable, timely, courteous, and hard working. The job was finished on time - amazing. And, finally, Crystal was a pleasure to work with and kept the business end well organized. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Incredible experience with California Smartscape. Delivered my family an incredible backyard on time and the price we agreed on. From owner Johnathan, to designer Andrew, and my favorite person, job site lead Leo, it was just a terrific experience. Even after job was completed, there was a couple little things and Leo had his team out there immediately. Class acts and would highly recommend them. Special thanks again to Leo who is amazing at his job, communicates well with home owners, so smart with anything related to job and never misses a beat. His team was nice, polite, and no hardworking. A great experience

We had a great experience working with California Smartscape! Our project was challenging and we had to walk away from more than one proposals. California Smartscape cracked the code with an amazing design that transformed our front and backyard landscapes. Materials and plant decisions were supported by solid recommendations based on our personal style The project was well managed and we could not be happier with the end result.

We hired California Smartscape to completely renovate our front and backyard, a project of about 8,000 square feet, in two phases over the span of about 16 months in 2021 and 2022.
When we first contacted CA Smartscape, we were immediately impressed with how quickly they responded and came out to walk through the property, talk about design ideas, and an estimate. Jesse created a beautiful design that completely transformed our yard, better than we ever imagined. As with any large project, it took a few months before they had a crew available to begin. Once they began, I was clear about a very firm deadline to complete the first phase of our backyard, which they were very vigilant to honor.
Leo managed both phases of our project and was very easy to communicate with via phone, text, or meeting in person. Krissy was a fantastic point of contact and so knowledgeable about the many different materials, plants, and other design elements and really helped me refine my vision for our project. Her input and understanding of my personal style and preferences made everything go so much more smoothly and also made the design that much more beautiful. Crystal in the office was also very professional and helpful.
Leo, Jesse, and Krissy communicated very well with each other to make sure all aspects of the project were covered and didn’t fall through the cracks.
We highly recommend California Smartscape to anyone who is looking to do outdoor renovation. We are so grateful that we hired them to transform our outdoor spaces into a dream!

We used CA Smartscape for the design and construction of our project (front and back yards). Jesse was our designer and was excellent. He has a lot of design experience and was extremely patient, thorough and responsive to our feedback. Leo was the overall project manager and was awesome! He ensured the project was moving along at a good pace, helped us work issues and coordinated changes. Gustavo was in charge of the pool and spa tub and was also great to work with. Krissy helped us select all our landscaping and she is very detail oriented and goes above and beyond to make sure you love all the plants and trees. The entire ‘dream’ team was very professional, extremely responsive to our needs and questions, and were all great to work with. They were a super personable team and work together well. The quality of the work and execution were both very good.

This was the largest project we have ever done and CA Smartscape made the process easy for us. We love the end result with our landscape design, pool/hot tub, hardscaping, patio area, fire pit, putting green, plantings, etc. We highly recommend the entire team and were very pleased with everything!

Highly recommend California Smartscape! We are upgrading our entire exterior, landscaping included, and unfortunately was having a bad run of contractors. A coworker recommended we reach out to Cal Smartscape and I AM SO HAPPY WE DID. Andrew's designs are fantastic and he really works with you to come up with the best plan for your yard and budget. He knows his stuff and is so fun to work with. Leo and the installation crew are professional, produce high quality work, and keep a timeline that is unreal. Every morning my daughter would be so excited to go outside and say hello to the team. The end result is perfect and couldn't have done it without the team. Thank you Andrew, Leo, and everyone at California Smartscape. Cant wait to do the next project together!
