"Since I had previously been very impressed with Salvador Gallardo / Authentic Landscape on an urgent repair for our leaking irrigation valve system, I called on him again for my long dreamed of overhaul of our entire front and back yard beginning May 22, 2024. He advertises "You can be sure that you will receive quality work with a personal touch" which is exactly what I needed. I had a rather vague plan and relied on his expertise to help develop my dream. The major goal was to completely remove all the turf, leaving only the trees, a grape arbor (which Salvador needed to redesign and expand), and a couple areas of plants. We used a turf replacement rebate and he and Jesus, plus his sons Christian and Jesse, spent 2 weeks digging out all the nasty weeds and a several-inch layer of dirt. Our irrigation system was converted to sprinklers for the garden areas and drip lines around the outer areas of trees and original landscape plants plus a new control unit. Some of the trees required some pruning also. It was fun working with Salvador to figure just where my front and back “gardens” and pebble pathways would go. We added slabs of flagstone around the front and back faucets and replaced the remaining area with shredded wood. Additionally, he replaced one entire gate and had to redesign and repair of my second gate. My back garden is essentially a lawn replacement of ground cover plants, and the front garden utilized a lot of succulents and several other plants dug out and from my pots plus lots of poppy seeds. We added some ground cover and a variety of other plants I found on clearance sales. We incorporated my collection of granite rocks, and I’ve continued detailing with decorative features to make my “Never Too Late For A Happy Childhood” theme garden with fairy, farm, lighthouse, and Santa and reindeer areas, lots of solar lights/fireworks, windchimes, spinners, toys and sculptures, While reasonably priced, it was an expensive project but, after 20 years of dreaming, so worth the smile I can’t quit. Obviously I continue to highly recommend Salvador and Authentic Landscape. The guys worked very hard and were a pleasure to have around. Being able to make well advised adjustments as work progressed was a great advantage to accomplishing my desires."

"The landscape designer was creative and knowledgeable. They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, and the end result was a beautiful and functional outdoor space."

"Easy to work with and good communication."

"Went well, communicated with me and explained all."

"We had an excellent experience working with Tour De Force Concrete. They completely dug out our existing lawn, removed and rerouted the sprinklers, brought in fresh topsoil, and installed new sod. They also added beautiful salt and pepper rock along the fencing and created a clean mow edge outlining the entire yard. Their work was outstanding from start to finish — great customer service, clear communication, and they did exactly what they said they would. Even better, the project was completed ahead of schedule. We’re very happy with the results and highly recommend them!"

"He is very thorough, he has good eye for finished detail, and he is very reliable."

"They were very pleasant to work with showed up on time worked late went over and above, but I expected job turned out amazing. I would highly recommend his company. Family owned very pleasant and does amazing work. Debbie is definitely the color Goddess. I told her what I was looking for and she went way beyond, but I couldâ ve ever imagined it looks real. I highly recommend this company."
