"Saul poured a sidewalk and while the concrete work is good they left it unfinished. I have two holes now that need to be closed and cannot reach Saul, the owner. I also hired him to repair existing sprinklers and he left it unfinished. I paid him for services with the understanding that he would come after the weekend to finish the job and he hasn't been back. That was a month ago. Or close to it. I've called and texted him. He says he will come then doesn't. Never calls to explain why. Or when he'll be back."

Geico Builders specializes in meeting your expectations before, during, and after the project is complete. Our most upstanding quality is our accountability--you can expect us to own the work we complete for your home. Of course, we know accountability means nothing without proof, which is why we are happy to offer a 2-year workmanship warranty to all of our clients. This is a rare quality for this industry, but we wanted to prove to you that we stand by our craftsmanship through our home remodeling construction services. Every Crew at Geico Builders has been professionally trained and will treat your home with integrity and respect.

"We recently had our kitchen and bathroom completely renovated by Geico Builders, and the transformation is beyond what we imagined! After with several other contractors, we decided to go with them and it was the best decision we mage. Mila, our project manager, was fantastic from day one. As first-time remodelers, we had a lot of questions, but Mila guide through every stage with patience and professionalism. The communication was consistent, and any concern we had was handled right away. The team even helped us refine our design ideas and brought them to life with a stunning 3D preview before construction began. Everyone we worked was friendly, organized, and clearly passionate about what they do. The finished kitchen and bathroom are both beautiful and functional exactly what we were hoping for. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend Geico Builders to anyone planning a home remodel!"

"They recommended a good solution for the occasional shallow flooding in the garage (installing a sump pump) They started soon after we submitted the request and they did a good job. Most importantly, the pump kept the garage dry through our seemingly endless rains this winter. There are 2 reasons I rate the job with 4 stars rather than 5. (1) The job did not pass the city’s inspection and a critical connection had to be reconfigured (after which it passed) and (2) there was some weirdness around payment on the last day of the actual work (before the inspection) in which the crew seemed unwilling to leave without a check and then were slowly driving around the neighborhood afterwards. When I brought this up with my contact at the company, he denied that the van was theirs (which it definitely was) and didn’t really explain or defuse the bad feeling this created. But … they did a good job and in this day and age that’s really important and can’t be taken for granted. I recommend this company with the suggestion that paperwork, permitting, terms of payment etc should be clearly settled in advance."

"We had a very pleasant experience using Roman's Tree Service and would definitely hire them again. Their fee was fair, they were responsive throughout the process, and they did an even better job than we could have asked for. We were particularly pleased with the job they did on a palm tree we have that was overdue for a trim as we had a hard time finding any tree trimming services willing to work on palms."

FAQs for xeriscape installation projects in Castro Valley, CA

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.

Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design. 

While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.

Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.

Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
