True Magic Landscaping

Due to the age of our property (43 years), we decided to re-landscape the entire property, including replacing an old redwood deck with a new TimberTech deck; adding a new stone patio; removing all existing plants and grass and replacing them with drought tolerant plants; and replacing a large retaining wall that ran along the back and one side of the property. Due to the new city ordinances regarding retaining walls, this latter project became a major challenge, but Manuel and his crew were up to the task. They also collaborated with a landscape designer around the re-planting component of the project. From the beginning planning stages to the end of the project, Manuel worked closely with us to ensure that both the new retaining wall and the deck and patio were perfectly complimentary and met all the city codes. Their pricing was reasonable given the size and complexity of the project. The True Magic Landscaping team were exceptional in that they daily cleaned up the areas in which they had been working; were always on time and worked throughout the entire day; and were pleasant and cordial to both my wife and myself. It is now one year later, and with all the new plants and trees blooming, the entire yard is stunning! My wife and I strongly recommend Manuel Godinez and True Magic Landscaping. They are true professionals!

Manuel is smart, efficient and a good listener. He evaluated the scope of my backyard project quickly, gave me a quote and Manuel and his team started the project promptly. His workers are hardworking, professional, on time and kind—I always felt that Manuel was checking in on work site and in control of the project at all times. Not only that, I live the final outcome. I can’t wait to plan my next backyard project with Manuel and his True Magic Landscaping team.

Manuel and his crew are top notch! They did the hard scape and planting g for our front yard, courtyard and side yard. They work hard, show up on time and are very professional. During our project, Manuel was quick to respond to my questions and concerns, and went the extra mile to problem solve any issues. I have already recommended Manuel and his crew to many neighbors and friends. If you work with Manuel, you won’t be disappointed.

I recently had significant work done in my front and backyard. The front yard needed significant grading and leveling, metal work, fencing, along with irrigation, grass and various plantings, including ~ 25 trees and bushes. Everything was graded, leveled, irrigated and planted to perfection. I have had gardeners, neighbors and pedestrians passing by taking pictures of the landscaping as well as complimenting me constantly. Since the project, I've asked Manuel and team to come back several times for additional mulch, wood work and whatever I need, and he has taken care of every detail, down to the nail head. I only wish everyone was as professional, positive and enjoyable to work with. I really cannot say enough good things. I have had many contractors work on various projects, and I've never had such positive experiences. They are truly one of a kind.

Wasn't able to use their services after all. They only perform spraying shrubs, lawns and trees. We need maintenance manicurists.

We were very happy to have Manuel and team for this particular project. They do high quality work, and Manuel is very good about communicating any potential issues or concerns up front. We had a new set of outdoor "stairs" put in as well as a retaining wall all done over the course of about 3 or 4 weeks (mostly due to weather delays). We are extremely please with the final product and are planning to hire True Magic again for some future projects.
